Ted from Bangkok, Thailand emailed Earth Clinic the below in 2006 regarding his remedies for Degenerative Disc Disease. For over 15 years, many Earth Clinic readers have tried Ted's hyaluronic and sea salt combination for spinal issues with great success.
Ted writes: "Hyaluronic acid, yes ..The only particular brand I like is not the brand itself but those formulations used for horses, which are proven to work. Hyaluronic acid is way better than the popular Glucosamine sulfate. It is a miracle supplement against back pain caused by a degenerative spinal column.
My formula is as follows:
Store in refrigerator when not in use.
The dose is about 8 capfuls three times a day on an empty stomach.
It takes about 2 weeks to completely remove all back pain and the joint affected area in the extremities may take a little longer.
I have a couple of cases with severe spinal degeneration of the cartilage that got fully restored upon taking of HA. What the HA does is very simple. It is a major component of synovial fluid - spinal fluids. It is also found in your skull that acts as a shock absorber.
In boxing concussions, the HA will restore the brain concussion and help boxers against brain damage as HA will act as a shock absorber between the brain and the skull.
As for severe cartilage degeneration, the cause is simple:
your cartilage works like a hydraulic system. The HA is the hydraulic fluid that fills up the spinal column. The addition of HA fills up the deflated tire of your cartilage, thus restoring the flattened cartilage. HA is one of the fluids that is also used by cells, but the obvious application is for back pain.
As mentioned, all people that I know of do not need to do spinal surgery caused by damage to the cartilage and can get it fully restored with just HA in a matter of 2 weeks and all pain is gone.
I have a man who is a chairman who owns oil spill-up technology was involved in a motorcycle accident and had a brain concussion. Taking HA larger dose such as 12 capfuls three times a day reduced his concussion pain within a matter of 30 minutes, with complete recovery from the concussion pain within the week.
However, back pain may also be caused by muscle stiffness due to lack of magnesium as well as arthritis, which MSM does well in eliminating the arthritic neck pain and back pain. It takes about 1 week to reduce the severity of arthritic back pain by 50% in about 1-2 weeks. Further reduction is possible.
The basics of HA are simple:
it hydrates the body's system. It also acts as a lubricant along the lungs to reduce asthma. When the lungs dry up, you get asthma and the HA lubricates the cellular tissues in the organ, thus restoring the lung's breathing capacity. Of course, you still need to rid of fungus which causes asthma. As for the person with severe neck arthritis, for 20 years, went 50% away within 1 week and completely away in about 3 weeks using MSM 2000 mg x 5 times a day plus B1 thiamine 200 to 400 mg a day (for numbness of extremities).
... As it turns out, MSM is the best supplement for arthritis, but not HA, which is more ideally suited for joint pain and spinal degeneration, even to the point that the person even WON'T NEED BACK SURGERY. The cartilage actually regenerates itself. So when people speak of hydration consider HA."
