The point of that little note was not to tell anyone with arthritis to immediately see an allergy doctor, but not to talk calcium without some testing. If it is getting rid of my mom's arthritis she will continue to go see this "non-t-r-a-d-t-i-o-n-a-l" doctor. And no, I think maybe you mis- understood--or maybe I just didn't explain myself clearly enough (I just didn't see how it is relevent), my mother will probably always have arthritis. But many of these allergies can aggravate it. "Dust", as you mentioned, is very abundant where I live as we have many mushroom farms in the area. And while HCL in your stomach isn't going to affect arthritis, it was one of the things my mom's doctor noticed, and I was using it as a comparison: Don't take anything without seeing a doctor and being tested. You may end up sicker. Thank you for your time. Kitten
