i was just called to read about "cat's claw" and wondered if anyone on curezone might be interested. my sense is, going the doctor route will be very bad news. Maybe it's not such a bad thing to have one's resources tapped out--I've been there, and it's what's led to doing things only the natural way.

you might also ask "barefoot" what he recommends.

Hi Honestone,

Check into the work of Louis Kuhne, who used steam heat and detoxing friction sitzbaths to cure loads of folks of thing like this.

I am letting you know this because of all the good it did me..

Get a wet towel, wring it out until it won't drip and wrap the knee in it, then a plastic garbage bag over that, then a heating pad (I like the extra-long ones you can get at Walmart) over the garbage bag.

Wrap the heating pad *all the way around the knee*, both front and back.

Turn the heating pad on High (I use High myself) or Medium until the knee gets good and hot, then turn off the heating pad and let the knee cool itself down. Don't turn the heat back on until the knee has cooled off..

Do this with the heating pad 3 or 4 times during the night, and I'll bet you'll see a strongly positive difference by day 2 at the very latest.

If you can get Dr. Christopher's "Bone, Flesh and Cartilage" herbal formula, make a strong decoction of it and soak the towel with that and it will work better, but plain water works quite well, and is all Dr. Kuhn used in his day. They didn't have heating pads then.

It is crucial to use *moist heat* for this; Do not leave out the wet towel..

Best of luck.

Good Health to All of Us,

Ladylove :)

Sorry to here about your son,Not sure on any resources but I did read this article on an Indian spice that cures many things and looks very interesting. It might be something to try

Paint his knee with iodine.

No, I am not kidding. Most are deficient of this important halogen. Every part of the body needs it, and since most do not even have enough Iodine in the organ that houses the most Iodine (the thyroid), just imagine how deficient the rest of the body is?

You can find povidone Iodine in the department of the store that sells alcohol and hydrogen peroxide.

Paint his knee with iodine. When it's all soaked in, (to where you can't see the stain any longer) paint it again when the pain returns.

You'll need cotton balls or q-tips, and be careful: iodine will stain clothing, and your floors, sometimes permanently dependant on the material - (but it won't permanently stain the skin - the body loves and needs iodine too much for that!)
