Guest guest Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 My knees have started bothering me. I have been having trouble getting up after sitting a while for a while but this knee problem is recent. They feel like they " catch, " , like I'm walking on stilts, like the top part of my knee is about to move over the bottom part. I also think a bit of fluid has developed in one although a Dr couldn't find any when he did a physcial check with his hands. Any suggestions? I think some of it may be my weight but it seems to have come on so suddenly. Any suggestions would be so helpful. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 I had terrible knee problems several summers ago. I thought I was going to have to ride around in one of those motorized chairs. I had purchased some Wobenzym for my dog and still had some so I started taking it and within 3 days my knees were much better. I took 3 tabs a day for about 6 months and my knees have been fine ever since. Wobenzym was developed in Germany and they did a lot of clinical trials over there. I read about it in Whole Dog Journal, it was made for humans but dog can use it as well. Since then I found another product, same ingredients but cheaper. It's called Flavenym and you can order it at www.gonsi.com Bobbie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 Linda's bone broth solution is a good one for those with enough time to implement it. Any soup that is made from " real " stock derived from animal bones will do the trick. However, for those who do not have the time, large quantities of MSM will serve the same purpose... if not as elegantly. Dr. Wallach in his famous " Dead Doctors Don't Lie " tape suggested going down to Colonel Sander's and scrounging the chicken cartilage from the bones in the dumpster (in jest, of course). In any case, most joint problems will go away after taking a few heaping tablespoons of MSM a day after a month or two. Even so, homemade soup will augment most any joint health solution.

You make bone broth this way: Take bones from chicken, beef, or just about any type of meat that you think tastes good and do the following: 1. Put it in a crock pot and cover the bones with water. 2. Then, add one tablespoon of raw organic apple cider vinegar. Let the bones simmer for about 24 hours. then, strain the broth and bury the bones after wrapping them in newspaper. (Bury the bones and they will enrich the earth instead of polluting it) Put the bone broth in a glass container and drink some every day as a hot beverage, with some garlic or onion added. The apple cider vinegar is an acid that helps to extract valuable minerals from the bones that help with joint pain. On top of that, bone broth is pretty cheap to make. See, back in the olden days, people used to make broth from the bones and they would use the broth as a basis for soup or stock, instead of going with canned soups. And people got nutrition from those bone broths. I hope this makes sense, Linda Bastida Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 1, 2009 Report Share Posted February 1, 2009 Bone Broth is an excellent remedy for joint problems, as noted in Wise Traditions, by Sally Fallon, but just make sure your chicken/beef is organic, or you will be releasing all the flouride, stored in the bones from commercial animals, which is detrimental to your health, during the boiling process. Whenever possible, use organic meats for stocks.Since I can't afford organic all the time, I use organic for stocks and bone broths, and regular for plain eating off the bones. Gina in IL.

Guest guest Posted February 1, 2009 Report Share Posted February 1, 2009 What exactly is MSM, and what form is it in, a powder? Where do you get this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
