I went through 9 months of plantar fasciatis generated from heel spurs as it turns out. I tried orthotics, heel cups, new shoes, ibuprofen, ice, heat, pulse massager, and copius amounts of beer (beer not necessary, I know).
Untill one day when I read this board and said, "what could I possibly lose". I bought borax, powdered 20 mule team, poured warm water into a container and plenty of powder. never measured, I was just not hesitant to add.
24 hours later, I was better. 2-3 days into it I could feel something happenning as my foot soaked. I was so far gone that it's taken 9 - 10 days of soaking but i'm finally awaking pain free and I feel but a little sting every now and then.
I will continue to wrap and cushion my arch and my heel, as well as soak until it's all gone. Happy soaking all!!

I have been drinking organic "with the mother" ACV - approximately 1-2 tablespoons in 12ish ounces of water and a dash of cayenne pepper for about one week. No more pain in my feet.

Well the day after taking Lysine I got up that morning and was not crippled. It just felt like the stone bruise. I have been taking Lysine for a week now and my foot is feeling 90% better! I'm not sure if it is the Lysine but it's the only thing I am doing differently. I thought I would pass it along so someone else could try it.

I've been experiencing mild to severe pain in my right heel and arch consistently for the past 4 months. Stretching helped but only slightly and temporarily. Mornings were extremely painful and walking any time of day was painful. When I stretched I experienced shooting pain but it provided temporary relief. I was stretching often throughout the day and in the night while sleeping hoping I'd be a bit more limber when I woke up but any relief was temporary… A few minutes or maybe an hour.
About 2 weeks ago I started taking zinc chewable supplements to boost my immune system (because Covid is increasing here) and I FELT NO PAIN ALL DAY in my foot!! I didn't even realize it until the second day when I didn't take zinc and the pain returned… so the third day I went back to the tablets every 3-4 hours and again I experienced NO FOOT PAIN! AT ALL!
I've been taking the zinc chewables regularly (11mg 3-4x a day) and I have SIGNIFICANTLY reduced the pain to nothing or just a mild discomfort in my foot. When I feel any discomfort it's mild and usually after a long day. It does NOT hurt to get out of bed in the morning. Stretching my foot doesn't create sharp shooting pains either! Am I crazy?!? This feels like a wonder drug / miracle!
(note: there are other inactive ingredients in the brand I'm taking; Ascorbic acid, crospovidone, magnesium stearate, sorbitol, starch, sucralose. I want to try a pill form (not chewable) but haven't yet.)

When I was working as a food demonstrator in a large Texas grocery store, I developed Plantar Fasciitis in my right foot. It became steadily more painful, and I tried EVERYTHING to relieve it...ACV, Orthopedic inserts of all kinds, Wrapping my foot tightly with an Ace bandage, Rubbing in Arnica, Triflora, and other suggested salves, and NOTHING worked! My store director told me to get $800 orthotics like his...HA! That was sweet of him, but not at all practical! At the time, I was 67 and collecting SSI and a small paycheck each week.
FINALLY I searched the internet for "homeopathy for Plantar Fasciitis" and landed on my favorite homeopath's site!
https://joettecalabrese.com/blog/homeopathy-plantar-fasciitis/
I just happened to have Symphytum Officinale 200c and Rhus Tox 30c and I took 5 tiny sugar pellets of each under my tongue in order for the remedies to enter my system sublingually as they melted, away from food or menthol products. I repeated this dosage morning and night for about 4 days, and on the 5th day, I awakened and gingerly stepped onto my painful foot, and THERE WAS ZERO PAIN! I thought I was still dreaming, and I tried stepping on it at every angle my foot could turn, and by golly, there was no pain!!!
That was my best day ever, and after TWO YEARS, the pain has not returned, and as directed by homeopaths, I stopped taking the remedies that morning. I can't believe I waited so long, about 30 days, to even search for a homeopathic cure. Oh well, it is what it is!
I hope I didn't break any rules by posting the link to Joette's article on her blog. I just HAD to let all sufferers know that THERE IS A CURE, AND IT IS SOOO QUICK AND EASY! I used the brand "Boiron", which Joette likes to recommend, and it is quite easy to find on the internet. It is cheap, don't pay more than $10.00 for a tube, and both have zero side effects or restrictions. TRY THEM!! YOU WILL LOVE THEM!!

Just to let you know. I have been suffering from plantar fasciitis for a while however, for about a month now I have been taking 10mg Zinc tablets and the pain is almost gone. I wanted to check if it was the Zinc or not so I stopped taking it for a couple of days and the pain was back so since continuing with zinc the pain again is 95% gone.

I injured my feet about 5 years ago (I fell getting out of the way of a bicyclist). They became very swollen and I felt like I was walking on railroad spikes (not pins and needles). I went to the doctor who said they didn't appear to be broken (I knew that). I walked around, painfully, for months until one day I decided that I needed to eat the sauerkraut in the fridge before it spoiled. The swelling was gone the next morning and about 75% of the blunt/sharp stabbing in the feet was gone, too. My feet aren't 100% and never will be. I'm a walker but I can't walk more than 3-4 miles a day now. They now get really really fatigued and become painful if I try to walk too much. But...sauerkraut gave me back my feet...who knew??? :)
Our bodies are supposed to heal themselves but it doesn't always work, especially when your'e older (I'm 64 now). You've heard, "Feed the gut, feed the brain"? Well, I say, 'Feed the gut, feed the whole body'.

It seems to help reduce the pain by 70% so far. I can sleep at night and do not need to take Ibuprofen.

I immediately began researching "Natural Heel Spur" remedies and can upon the Earth Clinic site. I read this post about ACV, molasses and baking soda, as well as MSM, and began them all the first week of January. I also added calcium/magnesium supplements. After about a week the pain was subsiding. After two weeks, I stopped taking the Chinese herbs. It was about that time that I stopped adding molasses to my ACV/baking soda beverage. Then I stopped the MSM, as I was feeling lightheaded whenever I took it.
By the end of Week 3, my heel spur was nearly gone. I could push on the area and feel it was slightly tender. By Week 4 (last week), my heel spur was gone. Vanished. Melted away. My foot no longer has the feeling of walking around with a nail stuck in it. While I have to be careful while my foot gets stronger, I can walk short distances without pain. ACV is a lifesaver. ACV works, if you give it time. I believe the way to distinguish between Plantar Fasciitis and a heel spur is the difference between foot pain and feeling like a nail is in your heel. The nail/heel pain signals a heel spur. Try it, and good luck!
