Balsam helpful for Arthritis! (also Cod Liver oil)

[benshelpmeet]

Bro Ben was given this rub on stuff from a preacher we know, it is made from the Balsam fruit. This man has the seeds and grows this cucumber looking plant, you pick the fruit before it turns orange, you slice it into a mason jar and pour alcohol over it screw on the lid and let set 1 month at least, you can use the same fruit for another batch. You rub it on your aching joints it has been helping Ben's joints, I had a sore arm and it worked on that too.

Just a plant can help arthritis pain ...how neat! I do not know if it works for everyone, but it sure is worth a try.

You can get this veggie from a Mexican or Oriental Market. Ben is trying to do internal things too.

He is taking 2 Tb of Cod Liver Oil twice a day on an empty stomach he seems to be getting some good results from that as well.

We are trusting the Lord for wisdom and healing. God is able!

Dear sister Kristi,

Yes! Bro Ben does really good when he takes his Cod Liver Oil. We buy Norwegian Cod Liver Oil TwinLab brand, he likes the unflavored, but you might like the flavored kind.

He takes 2 Tb twice a day, three times a day would be better( he is too busy to remember to take it mid-day. ) We have tried all kind of medical and herbal treatments and Cod Liver Oil does help. When he runs out he can hardly move and his pain is bad all over.

May the Lord heal you dear sister.

Love, ~ Darlene ~

Sister Darlene,
Thank You so much for the help...I thought I would share this with an elderly friend of mine and (8?) and she hasn't used it in years but she said in her homeland of Newfoundland they gave it to the children and she doesn't remember getting sick much if at all... I didn't even know they had flavored or non flavored. I just seen a bottles of capsules and tried them...
