[YEA]  12/05/2007: G. Michael from Reading, PA: "I am writing a book on natural cures that the Lord has guided me to write. About 4 years ago I was watching Gary Null on P.B.S. talk about the value of eating organic foods. It seemed reasonable to do since organic foods aren't sprayed with pesticides and also, the soil is richer becuase of the rotation of crops and not using chemicals in the soil. So, I decided to start eating organic broccoli every day. Also ,at that time I had osteoarthritis in both of my knees. I was already eating regular broccoli so it was easy for me to make the switch. A month later after eating the organic broccoli daily, my two sore knees were no longer sore. Praise The Lord! I started telling everyone who had sore joints about this marvelous treatment. It didn't matter what joints were involved, the broccoli would get rid of the pain. I have a friend who told me that she had two very sore ankles for about a year for which her doctor had prescribed pain medication but the pain medication didnt work. I told her about the broccoli and before she tried it she asked her doctor what he thought about eating organic broccoli to get rid of her pain. He rediculed the idea. She decided to ignore his reaction and do the broccoli. Three days later, the pain the gone. Praise The Lord! Also, her husband had two sore shoulders and he was skeptical about the broccoli getting rid of her pain. But after he saw the quick results for her he decided to do the broccoli. Within a short time his shoulers were pain-free."

[YEA]  02/16/2010: Trish from Dusseldorf, Nrw, Germany replies: "I tried organic brocolli and it cured my shoulder-arm pain, severe lower back pain and knee pain in 3 days. Every winter I have been suffering from these pains for years. I read the cure posted by G. Michael and since I had some organic brocilli at home I decided to give it a try. I had it raw, one small brocolli head per day and after 3 days the pain is gone!!!! And i have had these pains for years! They come every winter and get better in the summer... I am frankly quite shocked because I was pretty skeptical.

Thanks G. Michael ...may God bless you!"

QUESTION

04/02/2012: Mike from San Antonio, Tex: "Alfred, I am trying to contact both you and Ted. I have pretty bad osteo of the hip and knee. I have tried, among others, ACV with baking soda, panothenic acid (3 xpd), several chicken cartilage supplements, at the same time, collidal silver and HA without success. I had prolotherapy, PRP and stem cells from my body, 2 fat and 1 bone marrow. No success. Works for some but not all. I would like to try larger doses of Hyaluronic 300 to 500 mg but can't find a source thats' reliable. Do you know of one? Maybe I should try doing 3 shooters or jiggers at one time.

Anyhow, I'm kind of at your mercy on this. Maybe I should start mega doses of MSM, although I have tried it, but not at the dosage you mentioned, without success. Help! I am seriously thinking about a total hip replacement, as repugnant as that sounds to me. I'm even considering a chiropractor that does electricity to the joints. Can you help out with advice? I have several other posts, all discuss the problem in different detail. Mike"

04/03/2012: Art from Tustin, California USA replies: "In Reply to Mike: Ted Recomends MSM, but it did not help me, even at a high dose of 15 grams per day but others have gotten benefit at much lower doses, so it might be a case of it works for some, but not all. Samething with the ACV and baking soda, that combination had no affect on my arthritis, but others have found it helpful. I never tried prolotherapy, coloidal silver or the chicken cartilage remedies so I can't comment on them, but I think it is probably the samething where it may work for some, but not everyone.

The supplements that I mentioned in my previous reply to you have been very effective and I recently have been able to discontinue the 300mgs of hyaluronic acid per day... at least for now.

I used ___ brand double strength caps at 100 mgs per capsule spread throughout the day on an empty stomach if possible, but as I mentioned, I am not currently taking it to see if I still need it.

Ted's topical remedy of 50% castor oil and 50% dmso gives very good relief relatively quickly and I suspect it would be helpful for more people than some of the other remedies, but I did experiment on a small one square inch area of my inner forearm first to see if I might be hypersensitive or allergic to it the first time I tried it. I started applying it to my affected joints the next day. I think the borax is also very helpful, but takes time to realize the benefit compared to Ted's topical remedy which shows positive effects much sooner.... possibly within a day to 2 weeks.

I guess that the borax and topical remedy go after potential pathogens which may be affecting the joints while the glucosamine multi supplement I take and the hyaluronic acid, that I used to take, help repair joint damage or make the joints more comfortable and less inflamed.

When I was taking the glucosamine multi alone, it seemd to keep things in check for years, but ultimately I think joint damge was occuring at a faster pace than the glucosamine multi could keep up with and that's when I started adding the other things.

Right now I am doing very well and am active again.

My neighbor who is 73 is using about the same supplements I am taking except she is still taking the hyaluronic acid and ____ (curcumin/lecithin blend) and is doing very well with it all. Last November she was diagnosed with degenerative disc disease and arthritis in her spine and in just a matter of about a month and a half went from very active with no apparent arthritic symptoms to not being able to do her daily exercises, clean her house, do her yard work or take her walks. She is now able to do all of those things again. She also is able to edge and mow her front and back yard again as well as pull all of the weeds so she too also feels the combination is very effective. Her doctors weren't able to do much for her arthritis other than prescribe nsaids which were only partially effective and of course can come with serious side effects when taken long term at pharmacological doses that are often required to help alleviate pain. They also had told her that she would have to make some lifestyle changes and might not be able to do all the things that she was used to doing. She's doing all those things and more now!

Good luck! Art"

04/04/2012: Liz from Boston, Massachusetts replies: "Hi Mike - After reading all of the methods you've tried without success, I was reluctant to suggest what I'm about to, since it is almost absurdly (by comparison) simple. But, since I suffer from the same type pain as you - hips and knees, and have experienced significant improvement, I wanted to pass it along.

Like you, I've had some success with HLA (400mgs/day) but that success was increased when I used the following combination:

-Two 100mg capsules of HLA in the morning. (I use HydraPlenish, purchased at The Vitamin Shoppe store, but you could also buy it online if there isn't a Vitamin Shoppe near you.)

-One cup of sugar-free Concord grape juice with liquid pectin.

-Another two 100mg caps of HLA before bed.

-Massage knees w/ castor oil before bed.

All of the above has helped my hip/knee pain tremendously.

The grape juice/pectin 'recipe' is as follows:

-64 oz. of real Concord grape juice

-One pouch of liquid Certo Premium Fruit Pectin

I pre-mix and the container holds enough to last all week.

Hope it works as well for you as it did for me - fingers crossed! :)"

02/13/2012: Nathan from Pittsburgh, Pa: "I've recently had a MRI done to see what is the source of my neck/back pain and the doctor/neourologist said that I have arthritis in my back/neck. I'm only 23 years old so the doctor said that surgery would not be necessary but left me with a lot of questions. He suggested I rest and prescribed me an anti-inflammatory medicine. He said if my pain does not go away in 2 months then I should come back. I'm wondering if perhaps there is something natural I could try for pain relief and/or help cure my arthritis. I saw many posts that ACV may help. I started taking a Glucosamine supplement. Any help would be great. Thanks!"

02/14/2012: Tina from Houston, Usa replies: "Google importance of Vitamin K for your issue.

Drink FRESH organic green juice daily to supply mineral content for your bones. Juice organic cucumbers, celery, parsley, ginger and lemon juice. Important that this is drunk within 15 mins of juicing to consume the 'alive' enzymes.

Do not fall for the 'dairy' is good for osteo-a situation. If anything dairy is harmful, so best way to get minerals for your bones is juicing.

Look into getting a good bone and cartlidge supplement.

Exercise, weight train atleast 5-6 times weekly.

Sweat out toxins using hot steam room if possible.

Keep liver clean by consuming spirulina, chorella, radishes, lemon juice in the AM on empty stomach mixed in 1 glass of warm water, dandelion greens, garlic and ginger daily as well as a milk thistle supplement."

09/02/2011: Antied77 from Alexandria, Va, Usa: "Hello,

I am new to this forum and looking for some assistance in understanding the threads. I am a 34 year old woman with severe osteoarthritis in my knees due to a malalignment that wore away the cartilage. I have no cartilage left in one knee. I am suspicious of bacterial infections too (nano bacteria). I've read the threads here and there seems to be a lot of treatment options but I am unclear on what to try because I've read about magenesium, bitter cherry, borax, disodium EDTA, citric acid, baking soda, lecithin, devil's claw, etc. Can someone please explain to me very clearly on how I can try to kill the nano bacteria safely as well as help with the pain? I'm interested in the treatment with borax and disodium EDTA but as confused, particularly because disodium EDTA appears to be toxic. Thank you in advance!"

09/03/2011: Judy from High Point, Nc/usa replies: "Hi, Sorry for your pain. My husband then age 58 had bone on bone in his knees, alot of pain, and the doctor wanted to do knee replacement on both. My husband started on joint supplement of glucosamine condroitan MSM hyraluronic acid and in about five months his knees were healed. I found it helpful for my bad back as well. He is now 69 and still knees are ok! He walks treadmill at Y and normal activities and no knee problems. Hope you will try it before giving in to surgery."
09/08/2011: Antied77 from Alexandria, Va replies: "Thank you for your feedback. I actually have already had surgery and am also bone on bone. They say my only option is to replace my knees but will not due to my age. I guess they have some age range that is too young!! ?! It's beyong me. I looked into the hydraluric acid. Maybe I'll give that a shot. I couldn't find much information on it. I've taken glucosomine and chondroitin and MSM over the years with no success. Do you know what brand he takes?"
