Guest guest Posted December 12, 2006 Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 Maybe this will work for you? comfry? http://www.herballegacy.com/testimonials260.htm Dear Sir or Madam: I was introduced to herbal medicine, quite by accident...literally. I was attending a seminar on some health related issue when an elderly woman I knew fell in the parking lot breaking a bone in her shoulder. She was taken to the emergency room of a local hospital for x-rays which confirmed that the bone was indeed broken. In fact, it was the ball of the bone that fits in the rotator cup of her shoulder that was affected. She had three hair-line fractures that radiated from the center of the ball. After consulting a highly regarded, local orthopedist, she refused his medical treatment which was to include immediate surgery. When she refused, the MD told her that without his professional help, she would never have full motion of that joint again. He predicted that 10% to 20% motion would be the most she could expect without his help. She thanked him, but told him that it was her body and she wasn't going to allow him to perform any unnecessary surgery on it. Instead, she asked that I go to a garden where I found fifty large comfrey plants growing. I knew them only because of the excellent directions she gave on how to get to the garden and what the plants looked like. I quickly gathered a 5 gallon bucket of the leaves and under her direction, used a double boiler to prepare a combination of steamed leaves and a tincture of the herbal active ingredients. When the leaves were steamed for a few moments, I let them cool, then placed them over her affected shoulder. Over this, I then placed a cotton diaper. Then I poured the rest of the cooled liquid from the double boiler to saturate the diaper. She may even have drunk some of it as tea, but I really don't remember the details. Next, I placed a sheet of flexible plastic over the diaper so that her bedding would not be damaged by the green juices. I then placed a heating pad over these layers ( leaves, saturated diaper and plastic ) and she sat there for probably a good half-hour while her skin slowly absorbed the herbs. To relieve her pain, I would hold points on her hands and feet as she refused to take any pain medication. I ended up moving in with her as this treatment took a good two to three weeks to be effective. However, after new x-ray's were taken three weeks later, no one could find the original fracture lines. To top this success, this elderly woman had retained the full 360 degree motion of her arm. It's pretty amazing that this " bone knitting " herb discovered by the American Indians had accomplished such wonderful results. It was amazing to me, but apparently not to her. However, she made a believer out of me and I've never looked back. Alan in Ohio Stuck [lists] VCO & Broken Ribs? Hmmmm VCO as it relates to a broken rib. Well - my wife carefully rubbed VCO on my broken rib ... and guess what? Nothing much happened ... [lots of laughs]. I was hoping that somehow it would alleviate the pain ... but to no avail. So - who knows of tricks to help ease the pain of broken ribs? The doctor has written prescriptions for me for pharmaceutical pain killer but they make me light-headed and I can't drive.

Guest guest Posted December 14, 2006 Report Share Posted December 14, 2006 There are several homeopathic remedies you could use, one to help relieve the first round of pain, others to help mend bones more quickly, sorry I don't have my book with me, but you can look up sites on the web - I think ABChomeopathy is one of them, just google it.
