My wife had developed MAJOR arthritis and bone spurs in both of her feet. So bad she had to quit her job. She was on heavy duty painkillers and couldn't walk without a lot of pain. After visits to 3 different specialists (and with X-rays confirming) the diagnosis they all recommended involved major invasive surgery. Either fuse her big toes at the joint, or break them and implant titanium joints plus file down all the bone spurs. She would have to wear corrective shoes the rest of her life and walk with a limp. Needless to say, she was very depressed after hearing this.

Anyhow, shortly after this diagnosis, we met an MD at an alternative health symposium who practiced what is called Prolotherapy (link below). It sounded almost to good to be true. As we Googled it on the net, we found a lot of testimonials to it's effectiveness, among them former US Surgeon General Dr. Everett Koop http://www.prolotherapyaz.com/dr_koop.htm

So two weeks ago, we went to the office of this MD, and my wife got 10 shots in the ligaments and cartilage of both feet. This stuff works!! She has almost no pain now and is walking with no pain. She is off all painkillers. Amazing. The Doc said it may take 3 or 4 treatments to totally fix it, but it's incredible how much it improved after only one.

This therapy works for all types of body joint pains involving cartilage and ligaments: Knees, back, hips, hands etc.

Anyhow, for all you aging dudes and dudettes you may want to check this out before letting a surgeon in with a knife.
