advice on knee injury (maniscule tear) ?

EFT is the easiest, quickest and singly most effective thing I have seen for injury, pain, recovery etc...

Gelatin is big for soft tissue too...

Feeding right for you, sleep, water.

Work with a good physio a possibility.

Be positive about any pain or symptoms - thats your body try to heal and let you know something is up. Its a good thing your body is responding, Maybe you don't like you injured it to start but thinking negative will not help healing. your subconscious mind hears and listens to your thoughts. If you say "my knee is fucked" the brain hears that and facilitates. If you say "my knee is strong and healthy" your brain also hears that a starts to facilitate.

(any stress about changes or moving forward in the individual around time of injury? - possibly family, money, work stuff - possibly female stress is left and male if right knee)

it is my left .. which makes sense lol

I did it wrestling about 8 yrs back and did it again sparring about 4 weeks back . We have a accupunturist and physio who trains in our BJJ classes hes lookin at it this week

Mark ... what do u know about a simple operation that can be used ? a friend has just told me he had the same problem and it was sorted with a quick op ?

:)

I would be personally very concerned about any op. I think most are not needed and all will do damage. Of course there is always a time and place.

I would look into how people who have had these ops are doing 10 years down the road and I would sure as hell look at alternate ways to heal before deciding being cut open was needed.

Fast results now... what about 5 years? 10? 15?

Keep in mind ops are business for surgeons as much as coffee is at a coffee shop.
The "experts" trained in ops, knows ops and that is about it.

I, for one, would do everything I could do avoid an op...

The exception to that is getting my jaw lines up as I think the health benefits would out way the harm and damage.

i was thinking along those lines to,, cheers

All the best...

I'd try many things before an op.

have you coma across "ligazyme plus", by bio care ? for ligament strengthening ?

I haven't.

gelatin - natural ideally (make stues from bones etc) is champ.
In many ways eating the parts of the animal that are the same as the area you want to support goes a long way I think.

Make rats defficient in vit A and they'll go straight to the eyes or liver. eat through what ever just to get there. Animals know what to eat...

Let me know what you find :)

will do

"Knee Surgery

Earlier this year, the New England Journal of Medicine published a study on a knee scooping surgery for arthritis that exposes how 3 billion dollars a year is being wasted on this procedure, which relieves the problem no more than a placebo.

The operation, known as arthroscopic surgery, for pain and stiffness caused by osteoarthritis is performed on about 650,000 people in the U.S. every year, at a cost of about $5,000 per procedure.

As mentioned above, studies show that placebos had the same affect as the surgery, and placebos are a lot cheaper than $5,000 operations.

So what other options are there?"

" Fortunately there is an answer.

NST is a light form of massage that is the most amazing form of therapy I have ever seen. It is not unusual for a two minute NST session to relieve years of chronic knee pain. We have prevented knee and shoulder surgeries on many dozens of patients with NST."
