TOPIC:

Hi every1 i have been having neck problems v ery severely lately. i have osteoarthritis just about everywhere and scans show cervical damage due to crumbling bone and connective tissues and missing discs which the doctor says is probably due to diabetes which is ironic as i have kept sugar levels down due to the keto diet for around six months now and lost around 40 pounds so far, but i am unable to walk far. the diagnosis from neck scan is cervical spondylosis. i remember JH saying in one of his books that mms cant heal bones but i am wondering if it will help connective tissue, discs etc. or if anyone has tried something else that helped. thanx

Hello, Jeff.

Are you taking collagen supplements? Genacol brand seems to be the best. Three capsules at bedtime.

Vitamin K2 (MK4 and MK7 versions), vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin D3, zinc, boron and magnesium should all be included in your daily supplement intake.

Hey Jeff,
I was diagnosed with Spondylosis 6 months ago. I've recovered slowly over the last half a year. Here is what I've learned.
First of all your situation sounds way worse than mine so you need to go slowly and do what you can. If its painful don't do it...

EDIT: BIGGEST one is WATER, your disc are all made of water if your dehydrated you will never recover. Your disc absorb the most water when you wake up. What I do is I wake up right away get a 2L jug of water, put a small spoon of tumeric and cinnamon into the water and drink that. Drink tons of water over the day and make sure you got a good filter so you have clean water like berkley filter or Alexapure Pro.

Firstly I would get on:

Eat Natto or some other form of Vitamin K

You need Vitamin D, K and Calcium to strength your bones they all work together. A small piece of chicken each day or other forms for phosphorus also.

Next Posture is a big one you need to strength your neck, upper back, romboids, core and glutes. Imagine your body is a table and you neck sits on top of this. If the table is off balance so is the neck. Forward head posture is the main reason for cervical degeneration. ( I don't know if this applies to you, you need to look at your own posture)
This is a really big subject I suggest look at a lot of youtube videos:

One of the best exercises is just laying on your belly lifting your head 1cm of the ground while doing a double chin also squeeze your shoulder blades at the same time.

Lastly is neck traction. I bought a cervical traction device, put a bolt into the wall above my bed at about nose height when lying down. I then put a pulley on that bolt and you can connect the head brace to a line with some weight on it. Again do what you can handle don't go crazy start with low weight and slowly work up.
You want to create space between your neck vertabre so your discs can slowly slide back between. Most of the pain is caused by herination of the disc pushing into your nerves.

Cervical pillow is another thing... but beware I had a lot more pain when using a cervical pillow trying to restore the nature curve to my neck. Because your neck has been curving the wrong way for so long you need to correct very slowly. You can roll up a towel and put it under your neck when you lie down. Slowly over months roll it larger and larger...


Recently I've been taking MMS I feel like its helped as I am almost pain free, I think it relieves the inflamation taking pressure off nerves...

Edit: Also I drink pineapple, mint, ginger in a blender a lot seems to help...

There is no miracle cure for this, you need to realign your skeletal structure by strengthing your muscles and eating well. The healing process is really is really slow so be patient some days are worse some days are better...

thanks cl02 i am just started (2weeks) taking collagen powder vit c k glucosamine chrondroitin

many thanx acefree yes i am in agony with it for last 4 months, but it is easing a bit now the cage has crumbled away and probs between 4-7 neck. shoulders neck back arms ache all the time and both thumbs very painful at the base. only relief is laying flat on back. i will try all that you suggest thanx for the advice

Jeff, I did not see vitamin D3 in your list. Many people are deficient in that vitamin. And the K vitamin you need is K-2 (MK7).

thanx cl02 i should get that delivered today from amazon, i read up about it and found that there are many different forms. d3 seems the best option for me so thanx for putting me on that track.

Hi, Jeffers. Please keep us updated periodically - many are interested in your progress!

Jeff whats was your job and daily activities? Were you sitting a lot? Looking down a lot?
You have to identify how all the damage was caused to your neck and remove that from your lifestyle.

C5-C6 is generally takes all the weight when you have forward head posture, which I did. For me it was using computer to much so I made a laying down desk.

Yes if lying down gives you comfort it means when your standing up(bad posture) is compressing the front of your disc making the herniation pop out on the back of the disc.

Also since disc do not get blood supply once your a adult the only way they get nourishment is through movement.
If you can start with simple head nods each day remember ears always over shoulders, sternum slightly up, check pelvic tilt and core engaged , I don't recommend twist your neck till it's got a lot better.
Just move it very slowly within your range of motion as it gets better find more exercises on youtube.
