New... and a question

[Guest guest]

Hi, now that I've lurked around a bit, I thought I'd

introduce myself. My name is Rhi, I'm a 33 y.o.

mother of 2 teenaged daughters and wife of an awesome

man who is in the Air Force. As a family we always

try to seek alternatives to traditional medicine

before running off to the doctor, but we are pretty

new to doing this. We've been moving toward

alternative healing for about the past 4 years.

 

My question is this: Does anyone know of anything

that will help to ease the pain of, and to heal injury

to the ligaments in the knee? At this point, poultices

of comfrey have been helping a bit and alternating

heat and cold help too, along with fresh feverfew to

help with pain. Perhaps I'm a bit spoiled and whiny

but right now, nothing seems to help and I'm still a

bit of a chicken about some things like acupuncture.

Rhi,

Standard Process sells a supplement thatis called " ligaplex " which

became a lifesaver to my husband and I when he was diagosed with

ligament/muscle concerns last winter.

This in addition to maximum amounts of some other minerals helped

to alleviate his leg pain.

After taking these supplements over a period of about 4 to 6 weeks

time, his pain completely disappeared. He also took magnesium

supplements (400mg 2x daily),B-complex, and E (one of each of their

E blends daily)in addition to zinc and selenium, their very best

antioxidant and we followed an all organic diet rich in organic

veggies, fruits, nuts and smoothies,not to mention extra virgin

olive oil! :-)

I am told these products (standard process) can only be purchased

at a few select health food stores (You have to specifically ask for

them) or they can be obtained from some health professionals (N.D.

or chiropractor, etc). I was lucky, my son obtained them for us.

I also had a knee injury five years previous to this from a slip

and fall incident. Both my knees where implicated, however my right

knee would not bear any weight. They dx'd it as a meniscus tear to

the knee and sent me home with some pain killers. Needless to say I

did not take the painkillers, not even one, and just managed my pain

with supplements and nutrition (bromelain in pineapple, turmeric,

willow bark, capsicum, ginger and other herbal remedies).

At this time I was in the process of changing my diet due to some

other health problems that had recently surfaced.Much to my surprise

I found that over a period of time, the knee problems just

disappeared along with all my other health concerns, just from

changing over to a more healthy organic dairy-free diet.

Dairy especially non-organic dairy, adversely affects ligaments,

muscles and bones(mainly from an overabundance of synthetic hormones

and antibiotics they contain).Eliminating refined sugars, carbonated

drinks, coffee and other dehydrating beverages helps to build up the

immune system as well, which provides our body with the ability to

repair itself.

The therapist told my husband that his muscles were so weak and his

bones were so damaged and brittle,...Now I know it was from all the

milk and carbonated beverages(high in phosphorus and low in

important minerals to rebuild damaged tissue) that his bones would

not even support his muscles,which led to excruciating leg pain.

He was not able to walk, sit or lie down without extra effort and

extreme pain! This continued on for about the space of two months.

 

Therapy did not correct the problems. He was led from specialist to

specialist with no answers! Every test came back negative.

Supplements are the only answer in my opinion. The correct

supplements, in addition to an all organic diet is the CURE. We have

observed it, over and over again!

 

Best Regards,

JoAnn

Thank you both for some really insightful answers. The knee was

injured in a fall and was diagnosed by of all things a military

doctor who also wanted to just put me on pain killers and send me

home. That was 3 months ago and everything that the Dr. suggested I

do only made things worse. So, I'm in the process of changing my

diet which is not easy since I'm in the car about 5 hours every day

for work and the rest of it I'm with customers. I've added some

extra exercise (walking about 2 miles every day)which so far has been

the biggest help.

 

Thanks again.
