There is a disturbing trend I am noticing among the community of chronic Pain sufferers -- degenerative Bone disease and Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome and severe osteoarthritis requiring joint-replacement surgery. It doesn't help that these folks were on a number of prescription medications for perhaps 20 years, before they turned to kratom for pain relief!
Detoxifiying synthetic drugs, such as painkillers, requires the use of nutrients that are already in short supply in our body, so -- as I've heard from Peter Glidden, Naturopathic Doctor -- not only are these folks short on minerals due to our mineral-depleted farm soils, but the drugs their MDs use to treat their illnesses are taking more minerals to detoxify, further depleting their reserves.
Then, there is the insanity of prescribing drugs like Fosamax or Boniva, which provide the dubious benefit of increasing bone density by stopping the normal process of removing old, dead bone cells. This makes bones more brittle in the long run, making them more likely to break, not less.
Dr. Glidden and Dr. Wallach tell us that our bodies should show very little damage from normal aging, unlike what I'm seeing in the kratom community. After almost two years on the Youngevity products, I have no more of the chronic back pain and sciatica that had plagued me for about 40 years. It is gone!
I was a daily jogger for 15 years, a long-distance cyclist, and recently have been walking 4-5 miles a day for exercise -- and yet, at age 67, no joints show signs of pain or wear! I would like to share what I have learned from Dr. Wallach about how bones and joints can be repaired with scientific, medical-quality nutritional formulas.
Kratom may be good for relieving the pain and inflammation of arthritis, but our body needs Youngevity supplements to rebuild and maintain healthy bones and joints.
