Pumpkin seeds touted for pain
DEAR DR. GOTT: About 25 years ago, my sister injured both knees in a motorcycle accident. She has had eight surgeries and many draining procedures and shots. In speaking with her yesterday, she mentioned that her knees no longer are bothering her, and the swelling is gone. I was, of course, curious what wonderful thing could have caused this dramatic change. She said she had started eating one-fourth of a cup of raw pumpkin seeds about two weeks before. She had heard that copper was good for reducing inflammation and that pumpkin seeds were full of it. Her husband also is eating the seeds daily for his knee problems and says he feels great again. I was wondering if you had ever heard of this and what your opinion is.
