Marigold extract for Osteoarthritis

4 years ago

I have received several inquiries lately about my "cure" for osteoarthritis. I received one recently but I haven't been able to figure out how to write a response to his PM. Here for everyone is my story,..From the beginning of January, 2019 I experienced a weakness and soreness in my back for the 1st 90 minutes upon getting up in the morning. After about 90 minutes I seemed to be fine for the day. After going to the doctor several times and trying different injections I finally got a back x-ray and they diagnosed it as osteoarthritis in my lower back (L5/C1 vertebrates as I remember).

A friend told me about having osteoarthritis in his knee and he has been taking Marigold extract and he said it worked wonders for him...

I started taking it in September of 2019...

The marigold extract is marketed here under the name Dololed and can be found easily in pharmacies in the Medellin area. (I understand it is just a dry extract of the marigold flower.) A package contains 30 tablets and cost me 12,500 pesos at Todo Drogas pharmacy here in Envigado...

The directions I was given are:
Take 1 Dololed tablet and 1 500mg Acetaminophen tablet twice a day for 8 days then continue with just the Dololed tablet twice a day after that. I take them about 6:30/7:00 am/pm and I have noticed about a 95% relief from my pain and soreness...

Good luck! I hope it helps you!
