Promotes great hair, skin and nails, among other things. Also, for the worst pain, the herb boswellia. It's a little hard to find. I get it from www.spicediscounters.com . With a natural diet and the above, my GSD escaped double hip replacement surgery. Starris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 30, 2001 Report Share Posted October 30, 2001 Hello to all: Dr. Ann here. i have been following alternative health modes for over 30 years. Sometimes I am successful, and other times i succumb to Western medicine....<sigh> Right now i am facing knee replacement surgery the end of Nov., and am very upset at having to go through this. But it is necessary...NO cartilege left in either knee. I am in lots of pain, and was able to manage with supplements, but the last few weeks I have had to resort to Darvocet. I HATE taking it, and it only takes the edge off in any event. Does anyone have any suggestions for the pain. AND for pre and post op healing? I have started taking CS...I dilute a dropper full into warm water. Is that the correct way to take it? -- Dr. Ann...living in Maine family therapist, retired animal conversationalist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 30, 2001 Report Share Posted October 30, 2001 Take Zinc before and after the surgery. But try taking high doses of shark cartiledge and glucosamine sulfate before the surgery and see if that does not help. The shark cartiledge is is supposed to replace that which is missing. I am sorry I never knew of your problem sooner I just joined the list. I know it will work I use it my self and a friend who was set for hip sugery used it and avoided it altogether. It will take some time to replace what is gone because I presume you have had this problem for some time. So it will be your choice this is just my sujestion.

Guest guest Posted October 31, 2001 Report Share Posted October 31, 2001 You'd better qualify what you mean here, Arnica is a poisonous substance. Usually ingested in homeopathic doses or used as a external linament. Chuck Moriarty killed a clone--Holmes lives! On Tue, 30 Oct 2001 20:25:11 -0800, " P. K.

Guest guest Posted October 31, 2001 Report Share Posted October 31, 2001 Homeopathic Arnica. My family uses it a lot. My vet even prescribed homeopathic arnica pellets for our horse.
