When it comes to joint pain and problems, you need to be cautious with doctor. All the x-rays, Myelograms, your scans, MRIs and such often don’t amount to a hill of beans when it comes to the real diagnosis of your problems.
The minute most doctors see the loss of cartilage, arthritic spurs, spinal disk bulges or ”bone on bone” they are ready to leap into radical procedures like a hip and knee replacement surgeries.
If you don’t need this surgery in the first place, it can be devastating. If you didn’t need the surgery and the surgery went bad, it can ruin your life. The rule Of thumb regarding joint pains and problems is that in almost all cases, the body can heal the problem within two years. That includes anyone on bone” all spinal disc problems, arthritis and osteoporosis, carpal tunnel syndrome, tortillis of the neck, chronic low back pain and sciatica, dystonia” of the neck and back, costochondritis, spinal stenosis, weak or broken bones that will not heal and most other joint problems.
Think this is not true because you Continue to suffer? Think this is not true because nobody could have a worse spine, hip, shoulder, or other joint problems than you? Think again. I used to take care of dozens of rodeo riders, Believe me, when it comes to ”torn up joints” these guys have the market cornered. How about a shoulder that was dislocated 40-50 times? Or ripped apart hips, elbows and knees? These men have had x-rays that made me shudder-with tons of arthritis spurs, globs of calcium deposits and bones that seemingly had no cartilage at their ends.
Yet they were roping cows and riding broncos, amazingly with little pain! The message here is profound: Do not rush into a radical or even a ‘’simple” surgery (there is no simple surgery). Instead exhaust all the possibilities at natural healing first. My files are stuffed with letters from people whose lives have been ruined by surgeons who performed joint surgeries that were not needed.
When one of these surgeries goes radically bad, joint problems can become permanent irreversible and a source of 24 hour a day pain for the rest of your life. So forget all the high- tech tests and diagnostic procedures.
The real truth is that most docs don’t really know what is going on in a ”bad” joint. You can get 12 different interpretations from 12 different ”joint experts” for the same MRI.
Think this can’t be true? Five surgeons may give you five different opinions of the knee MRI. All will probably recommend knee arthroscopy. Hundreds of thousands of these standard knee ” procedures” have been preformed Over the past years. Some of these people have never been the same. Recently a study proved that these procedures were medically useless when compared to sham placebo surgery and they should be halted. Nonetheless, today docs are still going full steam ahead with these surgeries.
Always remember that your body can heal most joint problems provided It has the raw materials to work with and physical obstructions have been removed or alleviated. In almost all joint problems two produce that incorporate raw bone must be used: Biost at a dose of three daily and calcifood Wafers at a dose of six to nine daily.
These are produced by Standard Process and are the only products that I know of that use real raw bone.
lf there is inflammation at the same time, you can add three to six Glucosamine Synergy and a teaspoon of raw flax or cod liver oil to your daily protocol. Then allow eight to 18 months for healing. See the best joint professionals in your town to remove any impediments to getting well. These are usually Chiropractors, Osteopaths or Physical Therapists. Always eliminate all dairy and wheat products for 30 days since these can keep joints inflamed in some people, Always keep in mind that if you have a pinched nerve nothing short of an adjustment will cure you.
Likewise if you have chronic osteoporosis and a lack of sufficient raw bone, enzymes and nutrients to rebuild joints, your skeleton will deteriorate.
Your joints will suffer from a hardening and stiffening of tendons and ligaments as calcium builds up to compensate for weak bones. In the spine this results in Stenosis. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to realize that surgery cannot correct this problem. When the right nutrients are introduces your bones will strengthened the calcium buildup and hardening of the other tissues in joints will resolve.
Surgeries are wonderful when you really need them, especially at the hands of a real artist and expert. But for the most part doctors do not recognize the underlying cause of most joint problems. They cannot make a real diagnosis from most tests. They differ over exactly what is happening in joints.
They refuse to recognize that subtle changes after muscles and joints and that these can be corrected by hand.
They are too quick to order surgery and too slow to utilize nutrients of any kind.
They fail to recognize that even their own surgeries would all go better if the supplements listed here were used before, during and after surgeries. They are convinced that they know everything about joints and you know nothing.
This is a bad combination. Always try to resist any surgery that can have lifelong, disastrous effects and that does not address or correct the underlying cause of the problems-and this holds true no matter what the tests show!
