universal language of the knee

The housekeeper at school was outside my classroom when I arrived.

The first time I met her I was on crutches.

The next time I saw her I was using the cane.

Although she speaks broken English we were able to communicate.

She identified with me.

She has a torn meniscus.

The doctor gave her some shots and physical therapy but she's still in pain.

The physical nature of her job makes her uncomfortable for 8 hours a day.

I sympathized.

Tonight I arrived at school with no cane or crutches.

She saw me and pointed to her knee.

"How?" she asked

Cod liver oil! I said.

Hey, if I have to narrow it down to one thing and convey it with urgency it's going to be the number one superfood (click here for the article Cod Liver Oil: The Number One Superfood by Krispin Sullivan, CN).

She didn't  understand me.

She asked, "No Espanish?"

I made an apologetic face and said No.

But we were in the classroom with the magic of the internet and a dry erase board!

Cod liver oil I said as I started to write.

"Omega 3?" she asked.

I scrunched up my face and made a so-so gesture.

There are so many useless supplements out there that claim to contain Omega 3s.

I really didn't want to emphasize the phrase "Omega 3" and have her fail to obtain the

best possible supplement.

I wrote my recommendation on the board for her

Cod Liver Oil

Blue Ice brand!

"Oh!! Blue Ice! Yes, I see on TV!"

Not sure if they really do advertise it on TV.

If they do, Hallelujah! Finally an infomercial that's worth something.

I didn't want to take a chance that we were talking about the same thing.

I  pulled up Dr. Ron's website (www.drrons.com).

She pulled out a piece of cardboard from her pocket and wrote everything down.

She told me her son knows how to use the computer and would order it for her.

Whew!

Problem solved, I thought.

She wasn't finished with me.

She brought up physical therapy.

She wanted to know what I had been doing.

I didn't want to tell the truth and say, Not Much so I showed her an exercise I remembered from when I WAS in physical therapy.

I sat in a hard classroom chair with my feet flat on the floor and my back nice and straight.

I lifted my thigh up off the chair and extended my leg out in front of me with my foot flexed.

Ouch.

I put my leg back down.

Then I showed her by doing it with my other leg which was able to extend much straighter than the right.

Damn.

I tried again with my right knee really trying to push it out straight.

It was stiff and stubborn.

Ok, so I'm walking without a cane or crutches but if I really want full range of motion I'll have to work at it.

Good thing she asked me for help.

By helping her I was able to see what I need to do more clearly.

If I truly want to help others I better be able to help myself, first.

In the meantime, I can still

give advice

IF people ask me for it.

Not all cod liver oils are the same.

Kevin Gianni (of the Renegade Health Show) recommends Sonnes

to avoid heavy metal toxicity. I trust him even though I'm really happy to get my CLO from Dr. Ron's Ultra Pure which I believe is free from heavy metals as well.

Either way high quality Cod Liver Oil is not cheap but it DOES work!
