If nutritional supplements are what your family insists on using in place of going to the doctor, please consider a six milligram boron supplement for both parents:
“Supplementation with boron at the dosage of 6 mg daily has been shown to improve symptoms of both OA and RA. In a pilot study in individuals with OA, symptoms improved in half the patients taking boron, while only one of those taking the placebo (10%) had improvements after 8 weeks of supplementation.[xvi] In a double-blind randomised placebo-controlled study of patients with RA, supplementation with 6 mg of boron as an adjunct to the drug etanercept was found to significantly improved the clinical scores and decrease serum levels of several inflammatory markers, including tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α).[xvii]”

For both, make sure they have a good amount of Vitamin D3 and eat mushrooms. Why mushrooms? They have several nutrients that greatly help mitochondrial dysfunction, which is an issue with our cells as we get older, causing them to no longer function as they used to. Badly folded proteins are another age-related part of this at a different level, but there is little to directly address that issue (some supplements can attack 5% of this issue, though).
I hope this helps.
