    Hi everbody:

    I am on AP for the last 14 years and I have MCTD and in remission.
    My friend has Osteoarthritis and she is really depressed about her diagnosis .
    Just wondering if Antibiotic protocol will work for osteoarthritis so that I can refer her to this web site.
    Thanks
    Regards

    Have her try Hyaluronic Acid-Collagen formula by Biocell. It will state that on ingredient label. Not only can it address osteoarthritis but also spinal degeneration. It took 6 weeks to cure my herniated disc at 150 mg HA or higher at age 56. It is very important that one takes it on an EMPTY stomach and with enough WATER – around 8 ounces. I take my maintenance dose near bed time.

    I had osteo in my hips for a few years prior to AP. After a few months of AP it improved a lot, though not 100%.

    Hi Prioris:

    Thank you for your reply.
    Just want to know where you can get it.
    Did you have less pain after taking it? How long have we to wait for the benefit ?
    Thanks

    Hi Krystal:
    Thank you for the reply.
    After being on AP was your pain less were you able to discontinue the other pain medications.
    Does the progression of joint damage stops.
    Thanks

    Hi SS,
    I have rarely used pain medication. Prior to AP I had used anti-inflammatory herbs, various ointments and Ayurvedic medication for osteo and bone/cartilage degeneration. I started AP for Lyme. Even though I had a whole plethora of symptoms (joints, tendons, skin, organs, RA-like, MS-like, SD-like), the most scary for me were the neurological sx, not the joint degeneration. AP took care of all of the sx. It was a delightful surprise to me that even the osteo changes in the hips disappeared. So I would say the progression not only stopped, it also reversed!

    I still have leaky gut and if I break my diet (gluten-free, dairy-free, corn-free), my joints may slightly swell and get a bit painful. Not even close to what it was prior to AP.

    i haven’t thought about that in a long time

    my hallmark on my forehead is called coup de sabre

    i think that is caused by some type of calcification. maybe vitamin K2 and D3 address that.

    Your friend can also look into prolotherapy. A skilled prolotherapist can really help rebuild the soft tissues in the joints, including the cartilage. If she lives in an urban center she should be able to find one. Mine sees patients from all over the world — he is fabulous. She can look at this website: http://www.caringmedical.com

    my sabre was a little hard to see because it was lighter and blends in more.
    i need to look really close in mirror in right light then i can make it out a little.

    i don’t have any pain in my joints. it cushioned them. you will know relatively quickly. i’d give it around 4 weeks.
    you could notice the effect in first week. after 2 months, you can find a maintenance dose that is best for you.

    where i got it – swanson vitamins. other places sell it also.

    >I had osteo in my hips

    i notice the first sign of my RA occurs in a spot in the back middle of hip. my butt would hurt if i sit down too long. pain got progressively get worse,

    for a long time i thought that was related to the herniated disc and then osteoarthritis. once i addressed the herniated disc, i was stumped. i knew it wasn’t the osteo. i did some frantic detective work with borax and found out it was RA. By removing milk, that was brought under control. i use that as an indication and my butt hurting if the RA is returning. i am able to keep things at bay.

    through painful experience, one learns about ones body.
