I'm not a surgeon and thank the Powers that be i Don't get to perform surgery! with my minimal research, it is supposed to help with arthritis by increasing blood flow and oxygenation and according to commenters it seems to work. My mum broke her back when she lept from the window of our burning home and also has screws and rods. She swam. That's it. None of the products today were available at the time. Half the family was killed and she had to carry on as myself and my remaining living brothers were still in school. She had an unforgiving laborious job and she took no painkillers, they don't handout hardcore stuff in the UK, swimming really saved her, I think maybe due to it's weightless attributes and ability to strengthen. I'm writing a piece on organic sulfur now, I will get back to you with the URL, I've not tried it yet but have friends who have, it's healing properties are supposed to be amazing for helping with aches and pains, it's available in gels too for scars. Tastes disgusting I'm told, but still better to get flakes or crystals and not powder for purity and effectiveness. Im going to fill empty pill capsules which you can get at health stores, to put the sulfur in. Has to be organic too cos we don't get enough nowadays. They have copper pills also, again I will post a URL with some info. All you can do is try the suggestions. Chia seed has natural anti inflammatory properties and spirulina. Hope it helps.

To find a comment on my blog criticizing me as not "helpful" when I said I had "no idea" whether a particular product could help a particular medical condition. <br /><br />Folks, I love questions. And I am happy to answer if I have the answer, and also I will tell you when I really don't know the answer. If I respond to an inquiry with, "No idea," it isn't code for something else. It means I really don't know and wouldn't want to mislead you with a guess at the answer. <br /><br /><br />Steve Kirschhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07196209369347662434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2137720809430579183.post-48802074600702801632014-07-18T11:22:44.361-04:002014-07-18T11:22:44.361-04:00Wow, that was really helpful Steve.

Not that I was that surprised since I have tried numerous gadgets and gimmicks to try and relieve chronic influmation in my left shoulder and none of it has worked. I am really tired of spending good money trying to get a little relief and much needed sleep only to be ripped off once again by an overpaid celebrity.

I saw the infomercial for this product and since I respect Montel Williams, I figured I would give it a try. The only real pain I have been having is the tightness around the knee since the operation and would feel the cramping especially when walking. I received the Tommy Copper knee brace today and as soon as I put it on, I felt an immediate difference and the cramping went away instantly. All I can say is WOW........I go to therapy tomorrow and will show my therapist the difference that I'm feeling.<br />THANKS MONTEL and THANKS TOMMY COPPER.......LOVE THIS ITEM.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2137720809430579183.post-75509545414467031992012-05-20T16:00:51.035-04:002012-05-20T16:00:51.035-04:00Yes, it was extraordinary, especially as the show ...Yes, it was extraordinary, especially as the show was being transmitted live on national TV.

Eeew! A couple of doctors I've worked with have made cautious claims for the effects of copper - seems it's not just an old wives' tale.<br /><br />I mistakenly read your strapline as 'Tommy Cooper compression gear', though, which brought a whole series of bizarre images to my mind. I don't think the name Tommy Cooper will mean much to a Statesider, but for any Brit the associations are unavoidable. He was a much-loved and highly idiosyncratic English comedian. Stick his name into YouTube if you can be bothered and you'll see why someone like me might have had an odd reaction...Kolley Kibberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07055145770836351738noreply@blogger.com
