Painful Arthritic Wrists
Posted: Mon May 02, 2016 11:14 amMy name is Syd, I live in the Highlands of Scotland in the UK with my Californian wife Rhonda.
For the last ten years and more I suffered with ever increasingly painful arthritis in both wrists from overwork years ago. Both had swellings at the bottom thumb joints and on the other side of the wrists. Very painful and increasingly debilitating, culminating about 5 to 6 months ago in most severe pain day and night.
No sleep because no restful hand position was comfortable and really unable to use my computer (used for work from home) for extended periods without so much pain that I had to stop and soak my hands and wrists in hot water as the only relief. It was so painful that every single task, down to using a towel after a shower had to be thought about and worked out beforehand to cope with the pain.
With a garage full of tools that I couldn't use anymore, and over $150 worth of wrist supports, just to get a little sleep. I honestly thought my life - as far as being able to use my hands at all - was over. And I am not kidding! I was in permanent pain.
A friend in South Africa emailed me with two Dr John videos and my wife and I were sold. We were already kind'of aware of the crap told everywhere about food and were trying to 'eat healthy' but Dr John's informational videos blew us away and exposed all the myths and lies about food in general - not forgetting the info on a starch based diet.
Anyway - we went immediately onto a plant based diet with NO animal products whatsoever.
I wrote above that I have suffered for ten years and more - - - - well, within TEN DAYS, my wrists started to get better and I stopped wearing braces of any kind. Within a few weeks, the pain in my wrists was 95% gone.
My friend wrote the original email to me on February 10th 2016. Today is May 2nd 2016 and in these few months, our lives have been absolutely transformed. (We love all the wonderful recipes on your site. I never ate better
My wrists are no longer swollen, I have no pain. We both have more energy and feel many other benefits. And best of all I can do work again.
When my wife read that she could eat starchy foods and lose weight, she said, "if this works after all the years of being told exactly the opposite, I'll be amazed." Well, she has lost 10 lbs and does not exercise. I have also lost 9 lbs (I do exercise)
I guess I've written enough - thank you Dr John
