A friend of mine had severe calcium deposits on her hands -- such that her fingers were twisted. Regular doctors told her to stay away from calcium. An alternative medicine type doctor, on the other hand, gave her an astonishing array of minerals and loads of calcium, because he said that the body must get calcium from somewhere (her bones if not her food/diet) as a catalyst for nerve-firing, I think. Then the body may re-deposit it inappropriately. She was absolutely well (twist and lump-free) within 6 months. I witnessed this as a co-worker. Could this be a similar problem? I'd look for the right kind of doctor or nutritionist, I think. ----- Original Message ----- From: Al Riley To: [email protected] Sent: Thursday, July 05, 2001 9:30 AM Subject: CS>Off Topic-Bone Spurs-HELP!!
Hello Silver Listers!! Sometime lurker, sometime poster, Al Riley here. I have been diagnosed with bone spurs on my cervical spine (neck) that are impingeing (sp?) on some nerve roots, causing numbness and tingling in my left hand and arm. Has any of this esteemed group ever heard of a non-sugical treatment for bone spurs on the vertebrae?? If you have any suggestions they would be very welcome at this point (ouch!!). Thanks for your help Al
