Q: Hello, I would like to know what supplements you would recommend for bone spurs. A: As you may know, a bone spur forms as the body tries to repair itself by building extra bone. It generally forms in response to pressure, rubbing, or stress that continues over a long period of time. Some bone spurs form as part of the aging process. As we age, the slippery tissue called cartilage that covers the ends of the bones within joints breaks down and eventually wears away (osteoarthritis). Also, the discs that provide cushioning between the bones of the spine may break down with age. Over time, this leads to pain and swelling and, in some cases, bone spurs forming along the edges of the joint. Bone spurs due to aging are especially common in the joints of the spine and feet. Bone spurs also form in the feet in response to tight ligaments, to activities such as dancing and running that put stress on the feet, and to pressure from being overweight or from poorly fitting shoes.

Dancers and athletes need the same nutrition most of us do, just more of it. Heavy exercise depletes the body of antioxidants and the amino acid glutamine; minerals get depleted in sweat. So I explained the one disease, two causes, six pathways (as described in my books) to them, and put them on a healthy, anti-inflammatory, plant-based diet and a high-quality supplement program including our multi, EFA Formula, Vitamin C, Bone Mineral Formula, Cell Repair Formula, and others. They considered me a miracle worker! Despite grueling workouts, they simply didn't get infections or injuries anymore! Their tissues became strong and resilient, and resistant to…
