Condom cure

The elderly in South Africa are discarding pills for boxes of condoms in the belief that the lubricant oil on the latex helps alleviate arthritis-related pain, a daily reported yesterday. They rub the condoms on the painful joints, and claim to feel instant relief, the Sowetan said. “This oil is No. 1,” Elizabeth Moyo told the paper after demonstrating how she uses the condoms. “I am tired of the pills.” Experts say there is no scientific evidence that condoms help with pain relief, the daily said.
