Re: anything for swollen feet?

[Guest guest]

I have swollen painful feet that makes it hard for me to walk. I tried epsom

salt but didn't help much. I am taking 100 mg minocin and 100 mg doxy daily. I

noticed the swolling got worse after I added doxy. Anyway I am going to stick to

doxy for a while. The swolling is getting better when I sleep and gets worse

with walking.

Possibly Dr. Whitman has made a decision not to treat people with damaged

joints, because in his experience success has not been attained. That may

not be due to the therapy but to the fact either the patient was

non-compliant or had other issues that needed addressing concurrently with

the AP that were not looked for or believed to be part of the problem. Then

too, there aren't many physicians that understand the role proper nutrition

and detoxing of the body play in getting some of these difficult cases well

from disease.

Let me state again - disease starts in the colon. 80% of immune function

takes place in that colon, and as long as it is out of balance, wellness is

difficult (in some cases impossible) to achieve.

Dr. Brown's practice consisted mainly of patients who had failed

conventional therapies and yet he had a 70% success rate. If he had

understood the role nutrition and detoxing the body play in getting people

well, that rate would have been higher.

I remember meeting the FAIR ladies. This was a group of very grateful older

women treated by Dr. Brown, who had failed conventional therapies, that

formed an auxiliary organization to encourage people on the therapy who came

to Dr. Brown's office. Some of these ladies had horrible damage - much

worse than I had sustained, and so hard to watch them deal with, yet now

their disease was in remission.

Before finding this therapy, I had severe RA for 17 years followed by a

diagnosis of polymyositis and Sjogren's Syndrome. The polymyositis nearly

took my life but that's another story. Within six months of the RA

diagnosis, I had crippling in my hands to the point surgery was

recommended. The disease progressed rapidly, causing damage to other joints

as well - neck, shoulders, elbows, wrists, hands, hips and feet that

restricted range of motion to the point of limiting my ability to function

normally. I had joint replacement surgery on my hands and reconstruction

surgery on both feet before ever findng the AP.

I was told it could take three to five years before I could see any

improvement! Today I am free of disease and off antibiotics - living a

healthy lifestyle and detoxing periodically. The crippled joints that

restricted movement are no longer - function having been restored through

prolotherapy.

Loftis, whose story appears on our web page, took 7 years to reach

remission. And I remember one woman who was in the support group back in

the 90's that was badly crippled by the disease; her lifestyle greatly

curtailed by the damage she suffered. Her hips had been replaced at the

orthopaedic hospital where Dr. Brown's patients got their IVs. She had been

on the AP for 5 years with no sign of improvement and was about ready to

give up when it happened for her. Even joint damage improved to the point

she was able to travel cross country and care for a sick family member.

The therapy takes time and that time is different from person to person.

We now have two therapies for these diseases - Dr. Brown's AP and the

Marshall Protocol developed by Trevor Marshall, Ph.D. Both of them take

time and patience, and both of them are enhanced by proper nutrition and

detoxing of the body - something so few are willing to do.

soheila,

I used Vaseline for my feet when I could hardly walk and some very soft white

socks. Every morning after a shower I have used the Vaseline and if I had a spot

that hurt very much I would use " Neosporin and Pain " on it. Now all I use is

either Vaseline or Emu-Blue. I have to use it every day or the pain comes back.

I have done this since I have gone on min and nizoral (anti-fungal) six months

ago and it seems to work.

Take care, get well.
