Beating Osteoarthritis

General information

I have successfully overcome crippling Osteoarthritis, a disease that affects an estimated 8.5 million people in the UK.

Having suffered with chronic knee pain for a year or so, in November 2011 at the age of 39, I was told by the medical profession that I had severe Osteoarthritis in my knees and that I faced a future of short-term relief with pain killers, anti-inflammatory drugs and steroid injections before inevitably having to have joint replacements and extensive physical therapy.

Given my age, simply replacing my arthritic knees would not be the end of my problems either, as additional knee replacements would be required during my lifetime, given they wear out. But, and it is a pretty big BUT, just over three years later I am drug, surgery and most importantly, pain free!

For example alkalising diets & nutrition, certain exercise and pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) therapy.
