Re: Foot and Knee Pain and Swelling

Turmeric is good for inflammation, and many other things; you could buy some organic ground, and put it in vegi-capsules for him to take. (I would not take the gelatin/animal caps)

When you do this capsuling yourself, you put your love into the 'remedy', and your intentions for his wellness and wholeness; and you're more likely to get better-quality ground turmeric -at a health food store- than you'd get already encapsulated as a bottled "supplement". Many supplements are very poor quality.

It's very hard to feel that you can do nothing--or that you do not know what to do. I know that feeling.(And don't forget, ER didn't know what to do either, so now you have the blessing of at least not having a bunch of misdiagnoses, or worse, as some of my recent posts will attest to...)briefly, partner went to ER with a muscle pain in the mid-back and ended up with a broken hip, surgery, and now weeks and weeks of "rehab". It's complcated.

If anything else comes to mind, I'll let you know.
You have my best wishes!

Back again, with this -- the relationship betwen the physical (body "effects" )and the metaphycical --or energetic (and emotuional) causes/contributors

scroll down to "feet" and then read up, to knees.  Try to be open-minded about all this, if it is new to you. Then, my suggestion is to look into EFT. (lots of good video links and posts on curezone: google on the Natural Healing forum for a very good one) This is good for both yourself, and your son. (you can each do it yourself).

And then finally, for him, resting, with his bare feet on earth (grass, soil, in the garden...) for some minutes a day would be very good. aka "earthing" or grounding. Encourage him that this "staying off his foot" as he's been advised, will give him time to breathe, relax, and catch up with himself. And in the best scenario, clear any emoyional stuckness. EFT really is wonderful, with assisting for EVERYthing
