Hi Brooks,
You may have been replying to Steve, but by golly
I'm gonna try that too. Knox gelatin is cheap, and
so is water. It's worth a go. I try to stay
hydrated, but the gelatin is a new bit of
information for me:)
Would the gelatin help with other connective
tissues as well or just cartilage? I've found as I
have gotten older that my tendons and ligaments
tend to complain a lot more than they used to
after energetic activities.
Thank you so much for the info. You're an amazing
gold mine of information. I wish you'd put all
this good stuff you know in a PDF or zip file for
us:) In fact I would buy the book, if you put it
in ebook or print format! I would love to have it
all this lovely information together in one place
to refer to. Although I figure it would take you a
while to put it altogether. Or maybe you have a
website?

Dear Steve,
Your wife has my heartfelt sympathy. I suffered from PRONOUNCED
ankylosing spondylitis
for many years (between ages of 30 and 50), during which interval the
allopathic community failed to gain ANY distinct relief.....for me. My
case was considerably aggravated by the fact I have a congenital
deformation of the 5th lower lumbar (a region which very often presents
a major insult). Circa about 1980, I was forced to start sleeping on an
inclined
2" X 12" X 8' wooden plank......with the head-end resting on the outer
edge of a heavy captain's chair.....in order to obtain any measurable
degree of pain relief-----not to mention sleep. By 1990 (via continual
pain killers, hot saunas and a HIGH-tenison, compression-type spinal
brace), the discomfort....and outright pain, although episodic in
nature----had reached a point that nothing I attempted effected any
measurable pain reduction....for any extended period of time (hours).
Quite serendipitously, I stumbled across a medical article by some
Chinese researcher....on the benefits of utilizing gelatin obtained from
cattle carcasses (plain
Knox-type) aiding in the re-establishment of eroded cartilage-type
tissues. As a "drowning man would grasp at a straw", I initiated a
protocol which included a pronounced intake of Knox gelatin (about four
small boxes daily). I began to enjoy noticeable improvement within 5
days....and PRONOUNCED improvement-----within 20 days. Overjoyed, I
informed my associates of this splendid turn of events. Several of them
(five, in fact) were experiencing similar....if not as
overpowering....disagreeable spinal presentations. All five initiated my
basic protocol. When two of them reported similar WONDERFUL results,
as mine....three reported little, if any, marked relief. Puzzled, I
closely interrogated each as to their EXACT protocol. At first I could
determine NO detectable variation....but upon more refined questioning,
I determined there was one, fundamental difference. That, being that the
two positive responders were consuming a second glass of water with each
dosage (with 8 ounce glasses, this equals 32 ounces of additional
water). As this research occurred some years prior to Dr. Batmanhelidj's
seminal work on the very powerful effects
of systemic dehydration upon the human body......it had never occurred
to me (OR the allopathic medical community) that chronic dehydration was
such a powerful player in a very large number of chronic/systemic
afflictions suffered by humans.....most especially OLDER ONES. Upon
repeating the original protocol, with the addition of the added water
intake,
all three of the volunteers experienced very powerful improvements. Two
enjoyed considerably better gains in general relief over the next 30
days, and the third individual did gain what he described as "enormous
pain abatement". Four of the five original subjects required no
additional address, of any kind, other than a scheduled increase in
daily water consumption. The fourth, gained very significant relief, but
continued to "backslide" on maintaining his increased water
intake....resulting in periodic relapses.
Additionally, I was spurred to investigate the condition of chronic
dehydration in the elderly (65 and over), and was shocked to find that
the "thirst reflex" in persons (especially men) diminishes as much as
50%-----and, sometimes, is life-threatening" ------
without ANY recognizable medical or behavior symptoms.
I hasten to advise that over the immediately past 17 years we have
learned of other improvements in personal healthcare which have resulted
in a vast improvement in addresses for arthritis......especially
articulating-joint presentations. I do not have the time, at present, to
elaborate in detail, on all of our useful discoveries (the bulk of which
are at present known to the entire alternative community), but will add
a brief statement as to what we have experienced to be one of the most
effective and economical.....general....protocols, for supporting
acceptable joint health in human beings.
One simple regimen is as follows: MSM---6 grams as a prophylactic);
Glucosamine Sulphate----2000 mg; Chrondroitin---3000 mg (either as a
purchased supplement or in the form of a nutritional gelatin); 1 heaping
teaspoon of marine kelp (acts as a wide-spectrum catalyst--for many
systemic reactions; while optional, the following is strongly
recommended for ANYONE who has had articulating-joint compromises at ANY
point in their health history: CMO---1 level teaspoon, preferably
divided into two doses. This is only a prophylactic dosage.....and far
to small for addressing major insults.
While we have experienced very acceptable results from MANY different
substances, found outside of the allopathic nostrums, those listed above
yielded the most favorable responses.....considering efficacy ,
non-toxicity , and cost economy.
Sincerely, Brooks Bradley.
O,S. My apologies for such a lengthy post, but this is an area of
general health that is very significant to me....and I have the scars to
prove it.
For those of the list membership who are unaware of his work, I can do
no better than to recommend Dr. Batmanhelidj's fascinating book " Your
Body's Many Cries for Water".
I can assure you that you will find it to be quite fascinating...as well
as informative.

My wife has been diagnosed with arthritis of the spine, as confirmed
by MRI.
This causes her severe pain, compounded by the effects of fibromyalgia.
Question for list: CMO helps with arthritis of joints, and the spine
is a
series of connected joints. Does anyone know if CMO, or any other
similar
"medication", can help with spinal arthritis?
Thanks,
Steve Y.
