A few years ago I experienced so much pain in
the little finger of my right hand that I thought this was the end of my music
career. X-rays showed that there was no cartilage left – any small injury (e.g.
playing the piano) resulted in more inflammation and “tears” which accumulated
in the sides of the joint looking like ugly knobs and deformities of the
finger. A hand surgeon told me that he’s not going to operate – the body can
heal itself with the right “fuel”. He told me to increase my omega-3 tablets
from 2 (x 1000 IU) to 5 (x1000 IU) daily (or start eating salmon morning, noon
and night)! Apart from excellent pain killing properties, omega-3 oils (also
known as Essential Fatty Acids / Fish Oil / Salmon Oil also improves memory, so
I thought why not? If you experience a “repeat” of the fish oil, try taking 200-400
IU vitamin E with it. This prevents the omega-3s from turning rancid when it
comes into contact with oxygen in your body.
Another excellent piece of advice was to start
taking alkalising powder. Whether it is just alkalised water, or any good brand
from your chemist / health shop doesn’t matter. An incorrect lifestyle often
results in our bodies being too acidic. And believe me, “acidic” food e.g. lemons
are not the culprit! Lemons actually alkalise the body. I even read a book with
the title: Alkalize or die! You should be able to bend your finger joints and
touch the inner part of your knuckles without making a fist or bending your
knuckles at all… without pain of course. I wish I took a photograph of those ugly finger
knobs of mine because they’re almost gone now.
