Thora, The word, degenerative, is referring to advanced mineral deficiencies. Your relative needs to supply her body with the minerals it is leaching from her backbone. To do this, several supplements will help. One is large quantities of MSM. Use capsules, not tablets, if possible. Start with 1,000 mg 2xday for a week, then double that for a week, then go to 2,000 mg 3xday. Some folks have found the most dramatic benefits at 8,000 to 10,000 mg per day. It is not toxic and no overdose is known. But it can precipitate a healing crisis if too much is taken too fast. That is why I have suggested increasing the intake gradually. To optimize its effectiveness, an equal amount of glucosamine sulfate can be taken, or half as much glucosamine hydrochloride. An equal amount of chondroitin makes it even more effective. As important as the above is, a product called Concentrace is equally important. It is the most comprehensive, concentrated mineral supplement on the market, containing every mineral needed by the human body (albeit, in trace levels). It also happens to be the most economical. With Concentrace, one should start off with 5 drops in a glass of water 2xday, and gradually increase it until a level is reached where loose stools are experienced, then decrease it a bit to avoid the loose stools. Concentrace has a bitter taste, so if thats an issue, the easiest way to get around the taste is to determine how much Concentrace can be put into a glass of water without the taste being particularly noticed, then computed as to how much to put into a gallon of drinking water. For instance, if 2 drops of Concentrace is the most that can be put into 8 oz of water before your relative objects to the taste, then 32 drops could be put into one gallon. At 3 drops in 8 oz, you would put 48 drops into a gallon. If your relative is drinking anywhere near as much water as he/she should, they would be getting a regular supply of quality minerals as they drink their water. For further information on this mineral leaching dynamic in the body, let me know and I will send you a file that goes more in-depth about it. Another very important thing is giving your body the appropriate kind of calcium. Most (but not all) folks with bone/joint degenerative issues have an acid pH, which indicates a deficiency of alkaline calcium. In that case, Coral calcium appears to be appropriate, or even better, calcium hydroxide. Stay away from calcium carbonate, which is merely ground-up oyster shell. To determine what is needed, you should obtain pH paper (not litmus paper) that measures in .2 increments, and test the urine and saliva morning and evening for 6 days. Email me the results, and I will tell you what calcium is needed, plus other things indicated by the numbers. Litmus paper measures in .5 increments, not nearly accurate enough. Many Health Food stores carry good pH paper. If you cant find it, I can send it to you. Chiropractic adjustment may be appropriate also, but try to find a chiropractor who has an Alternative Health orientation, not a clinical/medical one. EFT can have a significant benefit with bone/joint issues.
