Nutrition & Suppliments for Bursitis Recovery
Fellow and lady Bursitis sufferers,
I was recently diagnosed with Bursitis. I hope you find my personal treatment helpful:
“Life is a banquet and most poor suckers are starving to death!” quote from “Auntie Mame.”
I have learned that the body requires nutrient rich foods and nutrients to thrive. It is poison to eat a quick donut and coffee when the body is starving for steak & eggs. I am on the Paleolithic /complete diet of mostly fat and meat with certain vegetables. It is a nutrient dense diet and has already helped me recover from many 'incurable' diseases. :) Search for "Paleo Diet" in Curezone or "Complete Diet" on the net. For additional support following the diet go to:

I have gotten better using cold packs for inflammation (believe it or not this is advice from my Dr. after I reacted to the Ibuprofen. lol) and will soon be alternating cold and hot packs to increase healing. I do isometric exercises to keep up muscle strength. Otherwise, I do not use my shoulder unless I have to. Slowly the pain is going away but I have lost range of motion. I will start range of motion exercises when I am pain free because I have read that overusing the joint can permanently damage it.
I found the information on the following URL encouraging and helpful. I hope it does the same for you. :)
