Hi Murano:

Very interesting. Although I have been basically pain free for 8 months now, I recently started playing tennis again and started having twinges also.....very interesting.

I truly believe that costs is a symptom of other things. I had it severely for 3 years, and after my first liver flush, it started going away. By my third liver flush, it was basically gone. I also did colon cleansing.

It is inflammation. I think that the mechanical causes a flare up of the inflammation, and people who have suffered costo just go into attack.

Inflammation is our enemy. I believe this is what we need to remedy. I think that cleaning my liver and colon helped begin the process of allowing my body to fight inflammation. But whatever I have done, the cause of the inflammation is still there.

Recently I have started on enzymes. I've read a bunch about them, and since starting them, have been playing tennis with very little pain.

Google Vitalzyme. Read about enzymes and tell me what you think.

This is my idea on the whole subject. It makes me so mad that I have yet to lick this horrible condition, but I've come so close.....

Yes, the Paradise Herbs formula that I use is both the Goldenseal and Echinacea. I had him use 2 twice a day for 2 weeks and he laid off upper body exercise during that time to prevent re-inflammation. You may need to take a week break then have another 2 week session. It is also okay to do 3 week sessions, but you must take at least a one week break when using these herbs to ensure continued effectiveness.

Good luck.
