What to do instead of a hip replacement.

[Guest guest]

Hi Dennis,

 

Here are a few quickies that have helped others with similar hip

problems and have literally gotten them out of the position of

needing any joint replacement.

 

The good news is I've shared these concepts with many of my personal

clients, both in the martial arts field and in the healing field,

and " if they did the damn drills " they got great results.

 

1. The first one you already know about. Get rid of the WEIGHT! If

you are six feet tall you should weight about 180 maximum. I do know

that I did balloon up to 247 back in the late 80's and I started

having problems with knees, back and left hip. I got my weight down

to 200 and I was young again.

 

2. To strengthen that hip isometrics do work well. I tore out my left

hip and I was told by my knee surgeon that I would need a hip

replacement. I went to my " Energy Medicine " trainer (Donna Eden) and

she mentioned that simple isometrics would fix the problem. I did

doubt her, but since I'd trained with her for 10 years I did what she

said. The problem disappeared in around 1 week's time.

 

Here's the drill she gave. Stand in a doorway, and put one hand to

each side, to use the door jam to stabilize the balance. Then place

the side of the left foot to the bottom of the door jam and push for

the count of 10. Then move the balance foot 6 inches to your right,

and repeat the 10 second isometric drill with the left foot. Again

move the right balancing foot 6 more inches to the right. Again

repeat the 10 second isometric drill with the left foot. Doing the

drill that way will give you a stretch as you gain hip strength and

condition that joint in an easy controllable manner.

 

Be sure and do BOTH hips so there is no imbalance between them as far

as strength, conditioning and flexibility goes.

 

3. Now on to a tiny bit of nutrition. I tend not to get too much into

it because most people (me included) won't do what the experts say.

So I'm going to keep it simple.

 

Take vitamin C three times a day. It is needed for the synthesis of

collagen. Without enough C, under the aging process (and your

excessive weight) the joints can literally fall apart. They can fail,

because without the C you can no longer keep the joints strong.

Collagen is the connective tissue that holds our bodies together.

Proper vitamins can extend you active martial arts life by 15 to 20

years, and extend your total life span 20-25 years.

 

The way I take C is in a powdered form, with the C dissolved in warm

water, and then I take two bottles of water and dissolve 1,000 mg in

each. I take the first dosage immediately upon arising in the

morning. I put it in warm water because warm water will help the

assimilation of the C, and the warm water will also cause you to

evacuate the drosses out of your system rapidly.

Because C is water soluble it will NOT remain in your system over 3-4

hours. That's what the other two bottles are for. To sip throughout

the day until evening time. That way you will have collagen support

(and also brain support and artery support) 24 hours a day.

 

You should notice within 2-3 days a warm relaxed feeling all over

your body and especially in your joints. Almost everyone does.

 

4. I'm been studying alternative healing methods for more than 30

years. One method that was written up by Dr. William McGarey, MD was

the olive oil therapy. That's where you take one tablespoon of olive

oil daily. Those that do that have noticed that arthritic joint pain

totally disappears within one to two weeks.

 

5. For a massage, a peanut oil massage (for 10 minutes) somehow

penetrates the area to the joint and not only seems to lubricate but

heals as well.

 

6. I do not know if you believe in Traditional , or

the current Energy Medicine, but doing some of their energy drills

have really helped people that have any problems below the belly. The

two drills that seem to be the best are " The Belt Line Flow " drill,

and " Connecting Between Heaven and Earth " . They also help to connect

the line of Chakras going vertically up the body. They also help

connect the energy flow of the 12 Meridians that run through-out the

body front and back and 2 Energy Vessels. These drills can be found

in a $16 book at Barnes & Noble, " Energy Medicine " by Donna Eden and

David Feinstein. Both are very good and smart people. I do suggest

you get that book on amazon (probably a used copy for $5 bucks) and

study then practice those two drills.

 

There is much more I could go over, but this is enough to start with.

 

Nice talking with you today over the telephone.
