Guest guest Posted August 13, 2005 Report Share Posted August 13, 2005 Sue - Do you eat any sugar or processed flour? Alcohol? Try cutting ALL of it out and eating as much raw and organic fruits and vegetables as you can (an anti-inflammation diet) Make it fun, make it sexy. Big, sexy salads. Nuts, seeds and whole grains. Sexy juicy fruit salads. Cook whole grains in water (like rice) and add it to the salads. The South Beach diet is really pretty good for inflammation (anti-vascular inflammation diet) and the weight thing. (boy do I give advice I need to take, pretty easily!) My joints are a bit rough too - years of jumping horses and 80's aerobic classes (hard on the hips, knees and feet). Do you get puffy easily? (the inflammation thing...) Do you have fire element in you? I swear the 'flaming' gets stuck in the joints. I joined a well-respected Yoga place a few weeks ago. (to whack down triple-warmer) Took 5 classes a week for a few weeks. My knees became completely unstable! Started to buckle on me - just buckle out (really pissed me off!) Yoga must have overstretched the ligaments and the muscles around the joints. (I'm really flexible and pretty strong, so it wasn't that I was pushing it too much) Because I was going to the Yoga House every day, I didn't go to my regular gym and weight train. So, this week I went to my regular gym (worked on the knee muscles) and dumped the yoga classes - and knees are much better. After you've decreased the inflammation - can you work with PT to build up the muscles around the joint with weight (free weights, probably). If you build up the muscle around the joint, you can stabilize it. Maybe the key is taking away stuff (sugars and simple carbs) -- not adding stuff (the herbals....) I'm in the midst of putting together an energy medicine work-out (because I can't talk anyone else who's qualified to, into doing it!)

Are you trying to use occult NLP brain-washing to scare us into having sex with organic foods? Is this group safe? --Vince PS - And isn't " joints " an isomorphic metaphor for smoking marijuana!!!!!!
