I just learned something about what causes and cures my knee joint pain.

Potato’s can cause inflammation

they are from the “nightshade “ family of plants

 

A Majority of individuals do Not Believe in natural remedies, they prefer to enrich the medical industry unfortunately.

 

I'm not sure they "prefer" to pad the pockets, many are desperate and any hope is good enough, which doctors today do provide. One neighbor, she's 91, needed a gastric something or another, major surgery, not many would attempt. Let her die, however, one Dr. in Columbus, Oh. was sharp enough to take it on, and she's home today. I have another neighbor who is into alternative/natural medicine, did a lot of study, and she could have been a shaman, she's sharp. When she does go to the doctor, she challenges everything they say. Got to be a doctors worse nightmare. Must be doing something right, she's 78. Some of her "remedies" are pretty gross, much easier in pill form, but she believes in it, can't argue with that. My late mom always said, " trying to make it through life with no issues, is like walking behind a shooting gallery and not getting hit".

 

This^^^^

I'm 43 years old. About 10 years ago, I was struggling with blood pressure, cholesterol, triglycerides, and weight issues. Not that I was morbidly obese, but probably not far off. I went to the doctor for an annual in physical, and she read me the riot act about my issues. (She's as round as she is tall, so I tend to not listen to her diet advice)
Anyways, she suggested a ####tail of pills for the BP and cholesterol. I thought a minute about my grandparents and how they ate. So I asked for six months to see if I could fix this on my own. She agreed. I went home and proceeded to eat everything the medical community said to not eat. Bacon, eggs, threw out vegetable oil, bread, anything with wheat.

I go back in six months later, about 30 pounds lighter, feeling great. She asked what I did, and I told her. She dismissed everything and says I was 'just kicking the can down the road, this isn't gonna last'. Ten years later, I'm still eating well, and haven't been to the doctor for regular checkups since. Until last month....

I was cutting a tree down, and it got away from me. It fell on me, smashing my shoulder blade. Doctor didn't wanna do surgery, thinking it'd heal well enough without surgery. He asked another doctor about it, and they agreed on surgery, which I had done this past Wednesday, a full month after the accident.
When I went for the surgery, I went through my medical history with the hospital people, and they were impressed at my history. Said they don't see too many 43 year olds that have never been in surgery, or aren't on some type of medication for something. Even the surgeon commented on how much I'd healed in the four weeks since the accident. Said it was pretty remarkable and made his job a bit tougher.

Eat well. Cut the processed food and empty carbs. You may miss the Twinkies in the short run, but your body will repay the favor in the long run

 

, that's a personal triumph if I ever saw'r one, there are lots of stories, I'm sure where the patient stuck it to the system. I pulled my Achilles tendon, painful SOB, couldn't push a clutch in, for a couple weeks, office calls, some natural massage crap, nothing was working. My neighbor suggested soaking it in warm water and Epsom salt. I laughed but tried it, within 2 days, it felt better, and within a week, the pain was gone. When I told my doctor that, she said she never heard of that,,,. So,,,the bottom line here, is inconclusive. If we were all the same, be a different story, but our backgrounds and genes are just too diverse, so naturally I'm skeptical if anyone says "this is the way".

 

Yes it does. I remember back when I started eating a lot more bacon and eggs, something just wasn't right, or wasn't how I remembered it being when I was younger. I ended up at a landfill one day delivering, and a roach coach lunch truck pulled up. His bacon egg and cheese sandwich was the best I'd had in a long time. So I asked him what he did different. He fried the eggs in the bacon grease. After that, I've never made bacon and eggs the same again
