Hi, Lena.. Dr. Wm. Douglas is pretty reputable. I get his health newsletter but it seems almost all of these alternative doctors sell a line of products nowadays. I had achilles tendonitis years ago for over two years (it is miserably painful) and cured it with the Lane Labs Benefin brand of shark cartilage. The FDA has since shut down their Benefin brand. They still make a shark cartilage product but is is pricier than the Benefin was. My family doctor was astonished at my cure as was I..lol.. it was terrific. And it has never returned.
I might suggest you try something a little less pricey and.. if it works, you will be ahead of the game and.. it sure can't hurt you. I started taking Hyaluronic Acid and wow... it is terrific stuff. I broke my back in an auto accident years ago and have searched for years for something to give me pain relief. The shark cartilage helped a lot but nothing ever got rid of the pain entirely. I started off with two HA caps per day. It helped some .. then I went to 2 HA caps in the am and 2 in the pm. What a difference. It not only helped my back, it also helped my neck & shoulder, my hip.. on & on. Go to Vitacost and read the reviews. Also the Swansons brand. HA is a little pricey but it is a natural substance that your body normally makes (less as we grow older). You might need to take some ibuprophen to help with the inflammation temporarily. Here are the two brands I am familiar with (read the customer reviews). http://www.vitacost.com/Vitacost-Hyaluronic-Acid-with-BioCell-Collagen-II http://www.swansonvitamins.com/SWU279/ItemDetail Two old-fashioned remedies I have used for various joint/swelling/sprain/pain issues over the years are 1) castor oil packs (available from Baar.com) and 2) organic apple cider vinegar and Kosher salt (or any coarse salt w/o additives) compresses. Make a thick paste of the salt & cider.. soak a gauze pad with cider.. add the paste and place on the injury for 1 - 2 hrs once/twice per day. Hope this is helpful. If I can be of help in any way, just give me a holler.
