Guest guest Posted August 11, 2002 Report Share Posted August 11, 2002 Has anyone had experience with osteoarthritis? My Mother is getting REALLY bad and she's on a 1.5 year waiting list for 2 hip replacements. Do you know of any discussion groups that specifically address this? I try to tell her about NT (she's eating more lowfat than ever - no junk food though- and even more so now because she's getting heavy since she had to stop playing badminton and tennis 2 years ago and she thinks fat will worsen this). Sometimes it's easier to get a message across (re: NT eating) when it doesn't come from a son or daughter. Astrid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 12, 2002 Report Share Posted August 12, 2002 Much research is being done in the area of magnesium deficiency. Seems calcium = calcification = osteoarthritis, Alzheimer's, heart disease, etc. This is a very brief explanation: When there is a magnesium deficiency, calcium calcifies the arteries, and leaches calcium out of the muscles and bones (remember the heart is a muscle). I have seen amazing, and very quick results when supplementing with magnesium. Everything from heart palpitations, to muscle cramps, to fatigue turns around in just a few minutes to a few hours! The only side effect is loose bowels if too much is taken orally. I take mine transdermally, so I by-pass the digestive system. There is so much wonderful information on magnesium, it is a shame that so few people know about it. Magnesium protects your arteries, muscles, bones, brain, and digestive system. It is the most abundant mineral in the body, but unfortunately misunderstood and most people are deficient. Go to any search engine and read up on magnesium. Especially look at medical web sites. Magnesium has added quality to my life and those I have shared this information with. It is so disheartening that doctors know all about the life saving benefits as well as the pain reducing benefits, yet they pay NO attention, and certainly are not going to tell you about it. *If you want more information on transdermal magnesium, please contact me off the group.

SOD is an antioxidant enzyme that protects bone (and other) tissue from the superoxide radical, which i believe is a major contributor to bone damage in arthritis and other bone diseases. http://www.vet2pet.net/holistic/index.php Suze Fisher Web Design & Development http://members.bellatlantic.net/~vze3shjg/ mailto:s.fisher22@...
