Vitamin C
Vitamin C is contained in many fruits and vegetables, and has been found to be abnormally low in the blood of arthritics.
Much has been written about experiments conducted with this vitamin.
Everyone suffering from arthritis needs more than normal amounts of vitamin C every day for many reasons too technical to go into here.
If it is impracticable to eat large amounts of fruits or vegetables adequate amounts of vitamin C may be obtained from rose hip or other tablets found in health shops. These are even more effective if combined with the bioflavanoids. The bioflavanoids (vitamin P) occur under the outer skin of citrus fruits.
Most green vegetables, raw or properly cooked in a minimum amount of water or steamed, are excellent sources of vitamin C, as are many fruits.
