maybe I need to try the pickling lime (have not found it locally, may be too early for canning stuff in stores)... I have not ordered it yet and do not include this in my drink. I have next to no cartilage in my knees and this last week or two they have been really bothering me. Today seems especially bad; they feel like they used to on a daily basis. I have not felt this since last November. Could it be some sort of healing crisis in my knees?
All in all, my knees have been getting much better lately though. Mostly due to the alkalizing and mineral efforts I am making with my diet AND losing 40+ pounds over the last year. Another 20 - 30 pounds lost will help even more.
And to think the doctors wanted to do bi-lateral replacements over 5 years ago! I still have MY knees!
