Posted: 11/20/2017 10:06:01 AM   I am a 53 YO female and have had a series of upsetting health issues, the worst being the arthritis I am suffering from in my left hip 17 years after an automobile accident and subsequent surgery to repair the pelvis.  I have read and researched much, spending much time trying to figure out if there is any hope for my situation other than a hip replacement.  I purchased Dr. Davis audible book "Undoctored", and just now sent for the paper copy which I have not yet received.  Following are some facts...can anyone help me please? I have had stem cell treatment on that hip, which helped only a little I do daily exercises that help only a little I take the gucosamine/chondroitin supplement; it doesn’t seem to help I am on a no wheat/ low carb diet, and have lost 30 lbs. within the last year and a half, and need to lose another 35 lbs. I am really tired of the pain, and trying SO hard and only getting minimum relief.  I am not looking for pain relief for a few days or even months, but something that will help (80% relief) or even a cure.  I tried Dr. Fife’s regimen from his book "The New Arthritis Cure" with very little results.  I want nothing to do with products or procedures that only mask the symptoms.  My friends tell me to get my hip replaced, which is what the docs say too.  I am starting to have pain in my knees also.  Does osteoarthritis spread from joint to joint?  And then can I expect hip replacements, knee replacements, shoulder replacements, etc... THE BIG QUESTION TO ME IS:  IS HIP REPLACEMENT THE ONLY THING THAT WILL HELP? Tags:

Posted: 11/21/2017 8:55:28 PM Back to Top   I already started taking the atorvastatin every other day instead of every day...am I going to fall over dead soon?  I’ve been doing that for about a week and feel fine.   Thanks for all your help...I’m impressed! Tags:
