Preventing Arthritis

[Nathan Daniel]

I fractured my patella recently. I am 37. It looks like it has healed ok.
I took lots of bed rest and juice fasted. I saw the doctor today and she said there was a high probability I would get arthritis in that knee. Basically the knee has healed but fractures later in life are more likely to lead to stresses in the bone that are more susceptible to arthritis. My question is this - what can I do from the perspective of diet that enhances that patella over time. Allopathic doctors are very good at fixing broken bones etc - but not very good at the long term viewpoint of re"financing" the bodies makeup with sharp nutritional approaches?

I am sure I can overcome the probability of arthritis by feeding the fractured area with the right nutrients. I do lots of fresh homemade wheatgrass in my diet. I also eat bee pollen, drink apple cider vinegar regularly - don't eat gluten and am pretty much raw.

Would collostrum be something to consider to help build up that knee joint over time? Please let me know your thoughts. Gratefully Nathan

For me, I'm suggesting moving it.... consciously. Do you really know what arthritis (or any dis-ease) is? It's a bunch of symptoms they gave a name to. If it's in the joints and there are the "right" symptoms, they call it arthritis, etc. I've found that wheat grass/greens are the BEST for joints. Keep doing what you're doing and keep moving!

I did have arthritis and managed to get rid of it so stick with us and you will be fine.

Make sure to have a great healthy immune system and lymph fluid healthy and balance and you will be all set. Fruits are your friend, greens and herbs.

I made 2 changes at the time and do not know which deserves the credit.
I went low fat and I started to do The Five Tibetan Rites.
I was already 100% raw when I developed arthritis and tried to get rid of it for a few years but did not succeed until I made those changes.

sport, thanks for your reply. What is The Five Tibetan Rites? Is it a stretch exercise?

My goal is to free myself of fats except for seed oils - and raw foods. ie flax and sesame etc oh and coconut oil.
I think one can be fine with that stuff. My one key kitchen item (other than a juicer) is getting the flax seed oil maker - saves so much money and better fresh too!
