I once had chronic bursitis in one shoulder so bad that it was a livid red and swollen continuously, and I could not raise my arm above my head. Touching it made me want to scream.

I finally asked my doctor, after months of suffering and therapy, if it would ever heal, and he emphatically said, No. Supposedly, my only recourse was surgery, with no guarantee of true healing.

I used that as part (one part) of my motivation to divorce myself from medicinal drugs and unnecessary surgery, and search for natural healing, since I believe in Creation and a Creator.

That was thirty years ago. My shoulder healed so completely, without any relapse, that I am not 100% sure which one it was I injured (left, I think). I never have so much as a twinge from either one. (I have had numerous serious injuries over the years, hence my uncertanty.)

I suggest you do your own research, and start with:

Alkalinizing Diet.

Systemic Enzymes.

Earth Clinic is an extensive source of information, sorted by both physical condition and natural remedy.

I do not say all of it is of equal value, any more than every medical opinion is of equal validity.

Bear in mind that a Medical Opinion is ultimately just a semi-informed opinion.

That doctor of mine was intelligent and dedicated; I still respect him. He was also dead wrong.

I wouldn’t say that my right shoulder is completely healed, but it was healed enough that I was able to work all day today cleaning up the giant mess left by the storm on our property. I didn’t try starting up one of my big incorrigible chainsaws because I was afraid that something could get torn up again. Probably one of the small consumer saws I have would have been OK, but I ordered a small cordless chainsaw online just to be cautious for awhile.

I do my best to avoid doctors and medication as well, and believe my relatively quick recovery from not being able to put on a T-shirt or lift my right hand above my head... to being able to push a loaded wheelbarrow over rough terrain, drag around large broken branches, sweep and rake all day... I believe this is an example of God’s mercy and forgiveness.

I am currently looking over the Earth Clinic website. Thanks for your comments and suggestions.
