"I started having severe back pain two months and one day ago. I was diagnosed with osteoarthritis, prescribed a medical belt, painkiller (paracetamol), and two other medicines by the doctor. One of the medicines I was prescribed had a warning that it could induce a heart attack. I stopped taking that one after two days as I reckoned it wasn't worth the risk. I took the other one (one to relax the muscles). At the end of one month, the medicine was at an end, and I still had mobility problems and the pain. I then came across devil's claw from an article in the Daily Telegraph. It was used to treat arthritis in elephants at the London Zoo, apparently. I went to see my local pharmacist, who told me her boss used it to treat arthritis for his pet dog. I bought three packets immediately. Today, the pain has gone, and I can walk perfectly normally. I am saving the other two packets of devil's claw in case it comes back."

"I have been using Devil's Claw off and on for 20 years with no side effects. I do take breaks from it, but I will take breaks from all herbal supplements in order to not build up toxicity. Devil's Claw is the best anti-inflammatory I have used. I also use Turmeric, and I often switch between the two. Devil's Claw is best used in combination with Passion Flower (not Passion Fruit, but the Flower). I have been given medication for my rheumatoid arthritis, and one of the side effects is death. I saw that and said, 'No thank you.' If it isn't broke, why fix it? I'll take the Devil's Claw. Thanks."
