Yes, it does seem possible. As editor of the Newsletter I seem to have
accomplished it. My back, arms, and legs are currently strong and joints
and movement seems OK. I'm only one person but this may be of interest to
others wanting to try it!
In 45 years of studying nutrition, arthritis, and other health problems, we know
that the first step is to avoid the nightshades. This will slow or stop
the deterioration of the bone system. And it is hoped that the Bt gene
will be removed from human foods and drinks. Step number two is to try to
build back needed minerals in the bones. Be aware that it took many years
to subtly weaken your bone system and it will take time to repair the bones and
joints. Patience is needed. It may take four or 5 years to begin to
see and feel a difference- perhaps ten years to see a significant difference,
but it is sure worth a try.
Major minerals needed are calcium, magnesium, and potassium. Phosphorous
is also needed, along with minor elements. There are no phosphorous pills
on the market- it can be toxic if improperly used. Phosphorous is the key
ingredient in insecticides as organophosphates. You generally get your
supply from a variety of foods and drinks. On the market shelf you will
find Ca, Mg, and K (potassium) for sale alone in bottles or in combinations, as
Ca/Mg with possibly zinc and potassium alone as a gluconate. The
multivitamin/mineral pill is complete also with the major and needed minor
elements but it has too much synthetic vitamin A which we are trying to avoid
(see page 42 in the Diet book). More than two pills a week may cause some
people aches or pains. Walgreen's Drug store now has a multimineral pill
that is better. One of these pills along with a vitamin E pill daily,
alternated with a potassium pill and a glucosamine/chondroitin pill is suggested
for a month or two, then rest awhile and go back to the routine. This is a
program of building back your bones and tendons and it will start as soon as you
start the program but you may not see a difference for several months. Be
patient. Stay with it more or less in your later years. By testing,
try to build your own comfortable health program free from aches and
pains. Try to avoid getting into taking a massive load of daily pills that
may cause more problems than they solve. As with plants, it seems that if
we supply the minerals needed in a diet, the body frequently will develop the
other chemicals it normally needs.
