Diffinately follow a natural approach to healing. Here are some suggestions that Swampmugger and I recommend.
1. Go on a 7 day raw food diet (nothing cooked), followed by a 3 day cleansing fast.(Ask me if you need the info on the fast) NO processed foods or sugar!
2. When in physical therapy, don't push yourself too hard or too long, STOP when it hurts!
3. The next items are essential for healing of tendons, repairing connective tissues and helps with proper muscular function!
Calcium 1500 mg daily
Magnesium 750 mg daily
Free Form Amino Acids
Vitamins A, C, and E
Beta Carotene
Selenium
Zinc and Copper
Anti - inflamatories that help speed up healing are:
Boswellia (according to bottle directions)
Bromelain (also eat lots of organic pineapple as it is rich in Bromelain)
All of the above items named can be purchased at a health food store.
