Allow me to put my ha'pence worth in here by saying, lots of change but no improvement! Why not remain with the popular terminology that everyone understands, even GPs! Why, indeed, the desire for change?

You made no mention of a support collar; has he tried one? Hospitals are good at providing them or they can be home made. Three times in the past when my neck was injured it was such collars that enabled healing to occur and kept me mobile.

Yes, indeed, academia does gain some knowledge through research the results of which are either biased or too often misinterpretted. Interesting that Jung observed that researchers created the result which they desired which hardly justifies the studies. Typically, academe simply jargonises folk-lore and teaches ignorance ...

Adrienne, I was guessing when I raised the question of an inadequate diet although the evidence presented indicates this. Our ancestral diet consisted mainly of meat and its fat.

There is a benign substance (oil) on the market which might possibly assist if she was prepared to use it for cooking or add it to her food on a regular daily basis. A teasponful each time, possibly 3 times daily could benefit her. There is no eureka-effect as the benfits only come through regular usage. It is certainly worthy of ...

Liz, Arginine is the amino acid to which you are referring and should be taken on an empty stomach to gain full benefit. There is a belief abroad that it is better than Viagra (but I don't believe it but then i don't take Viagra)! If I recall correctly I do believe there is a downside to taking this substance on a regular ...

Any trained osteopath should be able to rectify your problem. Meantime, you may wish to take the enzyme Serrapeptase (generic name) from HFSs or from the Internet (cheaper here). Take at 40,000 units or its equivalent on an empty stomach without anything to eat or drink (except water) for an hour afterwards so that it can work its magic. ...
