What do you use WD 40 for?

my dad used wd 40 on his knees when he heard that it would help. It made him sick. it is ment to be used to losen bolts etc. that are rusted or have been on whatever for a long time and won't come lose. It may have fish oil in it but it has other stuff in it to.

hehehe, weird. Never heard of using wd40 on human joints. What I know of wd40 acccording to wiki is that it displaces water.

i heard it makes a good bug repelent and tanning spray when using it although ive never tried it.

I have never heard about this is helpful for arthiritus, are you kidding.? I use WD40 for the joints in my car when it is icy but hey it might be diffrent outwith the UK. If it does help i think the doctors would be telling more people about it, i used to help people who suffered arthiritus and i have never heard of it.

I did here this before to that it is good for sore joints,but I never tryed it. I use it on my snow shovels and snow blower,it removes tar and gum from my carpets. I use it on my locks and latches,removes grease and paint from hands, and I use it on my car chrome. http://www.wd40.com/Brands/wd40.cfm

I had no idea WD40 had fish oil in it. I sure as heck wouldn't put it on my body though.

That is very interesting. I have never checked the can to see what ingrediants it contains. I use it to loosen bolts, and I also use it to oil just about everything including creaking door hinges. It is great for putting a shine on my stainless steel oven and hob. I don't think I will try it on my creaking joints, as I cannot stand the smell of it. Thanks for the tip.

Many years ago, Iwas told to use it for arthritis. The man who told me this also mentioned that the only drawback to using it regularly was that you had to get used to everything that you eat would taste like it had garlic on it. I'm not sure I would like that on my ice cream. It wouldn't be bad on meat, potatoes, and vegetables, though.

To apply what?

Let's think about this logically. When you use WD 40 on a stuck bolt you spray it right on the stuck bolt, right? But how can WD 40 possibly penetrate your skin, muscles, and all that connective tissue to even get to the joint? It can't. Aside from the fact that it's not even been proven safe for repeated use on skin, there's no way it can work in the body the way it works on a metal object. Do a quick search at Snopes.com and you'll see this debunked for yourself. Better yet, talk to a qualified health professional for the best things to use on arthritis.

I think you are thinking of something else - possibly cod liver oil. You wouldnt put this on your joints
