Suppliments for Tendon repair, (sidacuta?)(others?)

In my quest/journey of manually fixing my structure (using many variations of "body work"), its obvious my tendons and fibrous muscle ends are the worse part. Tendons are a b!@#$. Very stuborn, since lack of blood flow.

I have fixed some certain tendons to 80% recovery, that orthos said would benefit from surgery - they offered no more help. So ....yay.....but still not good enough.

Which is why I turned to the many forms of manual body work and learned some of it to use on self. But I need all the help I can get to fix this.

Topicals dont go deep, I have many- DMSO did not help enough to notice either.

Tumeric on empty stomach does nothing for my tendon stiffness. Good mag (all forms) at bedtime helps- cant use is the day though- sleepy.

thanks

What will sidacuta (spelling?) do? What are the forms of it?

As you know, I'm pretty much a fan of Buhner's. So, here's what Buhner has to say about Sida acuta:

"The sidas are potent broad-spectrum systemic antibacterial plants with a wide range of actions and contain on of the most potent systemic plant antibacterials, cryptolepine (as does Cryptolepis spp.). They are antimalarial, antiprotozoal, antimicrobial, antibacterial, hematotonic (Trav here: hema meaning blood), hematoregenerator, hematoprotectant, antioxidant (mild), anticancer (antineoplastic, antiproliferative), adaptogenic, analgesic, antipyrectic, anthelmintic (fresh leaf juice), antiamoebic, antifertility activity (inhibit egg plantation in mice: however, see the discussion of contraindications and side effects), insecticidal, anti-inflammatory, hepatoprotective, antivenin, antiulcerogenic, hypoglycemic. They are highly protective of red blood cells, especially from microbial invasion. They are also pretty good adaptogens.

Sida acuta is widely used in traditional medical practice around the world to treat malaria, fevers, headache, skin diseases, infected wounds, diarrhea, dysentery, snakebites, asthma, GI tract problems, systemic infections, renal inflammation, toothache, sore gums, hysteria, bruises, eye infections (as eye drops), breast cancer, abscesses, neuralgia, and arthritis. James Duke's database lists 12 species of sida that have been used in traditional medicine, all for a similar range of complaints. The heviest hits occur with acuta, cordifolia, rhombifolia and veronicaefolia. "

Bottom of page 304 through to the top of page 305 in Buhner's Anaplasma, Babesia and Ehrlichia book.

From that, I'm not sure it will help much, although it sure does seem good for a lot of things!

LOL! I agree! It's not easy absorbing such information sometimes - and I'm "into" herbs!!!!

I've also heard of ozone injections which are different that IV ozone. They inject ozone into the bad joint/tendon. Might be worth looking into.

This might be of some help in locating a doctor that uses ozone:

How about some bone broth, astroman?

And, if you're not interested in that, how about some collagen in the form of Great Lakes Gelatin or the like?

Here's some info on why we would consider replacing some of the collagen that Lyme destroys:

try green-lipped mussel. it helped me a lot. I had severe inflammation in ankle tendons and it helped me to reduce it.
At that time I didn't know I have Lyme, didn't take any abx, so I think it was not possible to heal completely. But it made a significant difference. Try it, it can only help.

Just went to my library on homeopathics and Everybody's Guide To Homeopathic Medicines by Stephen Cummings, MD and Dana Ullman, MPH says: Page about 285 and not the entire text, just the crib notes.

Try one at a time -

Arnica oil - rub it on painful area twice a day.
Rhus Tox -- for "rusty gate" remedy of pains and stiffness worse during initial motion and become better as you continue to move and limber up.
Byronia -- if the pain is greatly worsened by the slightest motion and continued motion only makes it hurt more.
Ruta -- for tendons that have been torn or wrenched. Best used after the most severe swelling. Select Ruta if Rhus Tox did not help.
Ledum -- for ankle sprains.

When using homeopathics do not use Vicks, Heet, Tiger Balm or any item with camphor in it. It negates the effect of the herb.

I generally stay away from caffeine and chocolate when using homeopathic. Oh and mint or cinnamon. I had one heck of a time finding toothpaste without those ingredients. I had to go with Weleda Calendula Toothpaste.
