Last time I mentioned a client who went from having very sore knees to now being able to move with much greater freedom. We looked at the first lesson we can learn from this. All healing comes from specific healing systems in our body. We also saw that these healing systems can be restricted or even dormant if our diets tip the scales in the wrong direction.

The second lesson is very important. The ‘gap’ between healing and continued disease is often much less than you think. What surprised my client is how little he actually had to do to activate the healing capacity in his knees.

The first step is to slow or stop unwanted inflammation. This does mean you need to think about foods but in most cases it is simply substituting one food for another. This can be swapping the inflammatory high Omega 6 cooking oils for Olive oil and adding fish oil supplements.

The rest of his programme was not difficult. I started him on an initially high dose of my joint formula. This meant that initially he was getting 1600mg of high grade (small molecular size) Chondroitin Sulphate with 1600mg of glucosamine sulphate and 400mg of a 95 per cent bioactive curcumin (from turmeric) extract.

Chondroitin is the most important as it directly improves the heath of cells that repair and maintain cartilage. Curcumin-targeted inflammation with glucosamine helped with joint function. This sounds complex but all this meant was after breakfast taking two of the joint capsules and three fish oil, then repeating this in the evening.

Yes, there is the discipline of having to take the supplements and of course fitting these into his budget. The results meant he has much less pain and more mobility. For more information, give me a call or email: john@abundant.co.nz You can read my newsletter at: www.abundant.co.nz
