Guest guest Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 First of all, I want to thank everyone who has given me advice on my daughter's cough. Now I want to talk about my knees. I have been diagnosed with Chondra Malecia Patella which is thinning and wearing away of the knee cartilidge. Ive tried many , many things to no avail. What Ive been doing for the last 3 weeks now is taking a packet of Knox gelatin mixed with a couple ounces of orange juice. 5 days ago the pain went away. Let me say that the pain that I DID have was excruciating on some days, and the pain was 24/7. So my question is, does anyone have an explanation as to why the gelatin may be working? Thanks Jennifer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 Jennifer that's great news! The gelatin helps to rebuild cartilege. Here are some other things I have learned over the years to help. My ex husband was looking at knee replacement and his surgeon told him to do the following as his older clients had excellent results from it. My Ex was able to reduce the number of steroid injections, put off the surgery and was almost pain free. His knee was nearly bone-on-bone, but the surgeon felt he was too young for knee replacement. This also helped with arthritis and spinal injuries he has as a Rod Buster/Iron Worker. Glucosamine with Chondroitin (must have chondroitin) MSM BM & C or ARTH(which I don't think you can get anymore) Calcium & Magnesium Complex The combination of the 4 is an excellent program for rebuilding cartilege, cushioning of the joint, reducing inflammation, rebuilding of bone where deterioration has started. It takes as much as 6 weeks of this before you see a difference, but it is well worth it. Also these supplements need to be in powder or capsule form. Tablets have too many fillers and take too much time to digest so you wouldn't get the full effect of the supplement. Caution with the MSM..Do not take more than the recommended dose as it has very unpleasant side effects when too much is taken. A friend of mine thought she would do better with more...more isn't better with this one. She ended up in the ER with seizures. Less is definitely better.

Guest guest Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 I first heard about Knox Gelatin in the delightful MLM audiotape " Dead Doctors Don't Lie. " The speaker described a study on arthritis that had amazing results using ground up chicken cartridge. He pointed out that Knox Geletin is simply ground up cow cartilage. It makes sense to me that if you want your body to repair itself, you have to give it the right tools. Imagine repairing your torn clothing without a needle or thread. The second time I heard of Knox Gelatin was in Bottom Line Health. They wrote of a study that actually gave Nutra-Joint (gelatin and supportive nutrients) to people with mild to moderate knee pain. Most reported noticeable improvement within two weeks. The third time was from a client who claimed giving Knox gelatin to his dog made him act like a young dog again.

Guest guest Posted February 3, 2007 Report Share Posted February 3, 2007 My mother is on a waiting list to have a knee operation due to wear of her cartilidge. She has been using gelatine (the type that you make Jelly with) 1 teaspoon a day in warm water and the remarkable difference it has made to her is unbelievable. A few months back her knee was so painful she would weep everytime she had to walk on it and that was with help. Now she can almost walk normally again and is not having to take any pain killers. She is wondering whether to cancel her op now as the improvement has been so great. I also had a Bowen Therapy client who said he crushed his knee in a car accident and that he also takes the gelatine every day. He said it totally repaired his knee. So there you go. Definately worth giving this a try.

Guest guest Posted February 4, 2007 Report Share Posted February 4, 2007 Yes, cancel the surgery! You can always set another date if this does not work out, once they operate, you are screwed.
