Re: Posterior Tibial Tendonitis FOOT. Wife is ready to commit suicide
She's "ready to commit suicide" but she won't drink a glass of carrot juice?!?!?!
I'm sorry, but if she's serious about healing she has got to change her diet NOW.
Google anti-inflammation diet.
Her flat feet have nothing to do with it, and neither do her shoes. That's just mainstream medicine take-your-money BS. Obviously some shoes aren't right to wear for long periods but your doctors are arseholes, sorry to be so blunt.
At some point your wife injured a tendon or something and now her immune system is stuck at "on." Immune system response = swelling, pain, redness, and/or hotness. She needs to cool her immune system down. NO plant-based oils (e.g. corn oil). Cut way back on sugar. Zero white flour, especially at first. Yes to fish oil supplements, Co-Q 10, LOTS of Veggies -- LOTS.
I cured "arthritis" in my fingers this way. My diet was already pretty good so my experience might not be everyone's, but I noticed relief within 24 hours of starting my regime (which includes 2 glasses of fresh veggie juice a day btw).
Green magma is a powdered barley grass, another great immune system cooler, very easy to keep around & mix up a glass once or twice a day, especially during a crisis.
Buy your wife a copy of Louise Hay's book Heal Your Life. Hay says whenever someone comes to her in extreme pain she knows the client is carrying guilt. "Guilt seeks punishment, punishment needs pain." Your wife has some spiritual work to do as well, she can either step up and use this crisis for positive ends or live the rest of her life with this and worse -- because if she doesn't address the underlying spiritual, emotional, and physical basis of this crisis, even if the "doctors" "cure" this (or she amputates her foot) another issue will crop up to take its place.
Good luck -- it isn't going to be easy especially since she's apparently resisting your very good suggestions re diet -- but she has to realize that if she wants her foot to change, SHE has to change. No way around it.
