arthritis and Milk

[Guest guest]

HI Wayne, you are so lucky not to have arthritis, I speak as a sufferer of

this dreadful malaise from the age of 20, now aged 52.

 

I think you can look at this in 2 ways - the first is that we are all

different and what works for you would not necessarily work for me. Secondly

- when you are suffering the pain of arthritis, EVERYTHING is worth a try.

 

I do not remember saying that 1 particular thing would affect cause or enable

the reversal but many things together will, in my opinion and experience

reduce the problem .

 

Unfortunately we cannot totally rebuild the bone that has worn over the years

but we can prevent further damage and we can reverse some of the damage

already done.
