This is from multiple factors. I found a facebook group about orthomolecular medicine and vitamin C - in 2014 I started high dosing Vitamin C (ascorbic acid). Then I started taking many other vitamins, minerals, supplements of various kinds. I have used borax/boron, raw red wine vinegar with mother (I am intolerant to apples), alkalising drinks, fulvic/humic acid, I take supplements to help my body digest food including high dose bromelain with each meal, vitamin D3 and K2, grapeseed extract and resveratrol, alphalipoic acid, ginkgo biloba, omega 3 oil, borage seed oil, theanine. I regularly use castor oil mixed 50/50 with essential oils for joint pain. I found 40% rosemary EO, 40% peppermint EO and 20% clove bud EO helped the most. This EO blend diluted with castor oil was used on my hips and lower back where I had the most issues since 2006.
The only thing I can tell you for sure is to (1) take your supplements in a form that is best for your body (each vitamin will have different forms so folinic acid can be used by everyone, but folic acid needs to be converted a few times before your body uses it and about a quarter of the population can't do this, zinc citrate is easily absorbed by the body where zinc picolinate isn't, liquid supplements are usually absorbed better than tablets - put tablets you take in a glass of water overnight to see if they dissolve as some don't, so I will bite my gel caps and squeeze the contents out of it as those don't dissolve in a glass of water) and (2) in a high enough dose. Research doses in Ayurveda - it is often one heaping teaspoon, 3 times a day. If you are talking 00 capsule size, one heaping teaspoon is 4 to 8 capsules. I read a herbalist saying the dosages on the bottles of capsules of herbs weren't even close to the dose she would prescribe. We have the RDA on a bottle of vitamins, but this is the minimum needed to prevent your teeth falling out from scurvy, etc. In my case, for me to become healthier, I needed much more than the RDA. So I didn't regularly get x-rays, but I am here to say that our body is truly amazing and will heal itself given the right things.

How I dissolve bone spurs. I massage my feet at bedtime & after my morning shower with coconut oil & Eucalyptus oil.
I had been using only the coconut oil for years, but when I added the eucalyptus oil, I started getting relief w/in a few days.
1/4 tsp coconut oil + 5 drops of Eucalyptus oil. For any bone pain (osteoarthritis), I add 2 drops lavender oil. Rub palms to mix, then massage the whole foot sole, especially where the spurs/pains are. Cover w/ankle socks until absorbed (about 10 min). If I'm up walking around afterward, I wear crocs.
It takes 1-2 months to totally dissolve bone spurs!

A neighbor introduced me to a salve that I have been using for everything! It has comfrey root in it, which I think it why it is so helpful. I have been using it on my hip bones when my bursitis flares up. I used it on my son's knee that he injured falling out of a tree, and on my toe that I dislocated. It has been helpful for all.
Have you ever tried the borax protocol?
And, of course there is always castor oil to massage into the feet and knees at bedtime.
Epsom salt baths at the end of the day might also be helpful and a nice reward for your walking and gardening.
Do you have good shoes? A supportive comfortable shoe is important.
I hope you will find one or more of these helpful! Keep me posted!

For the past three days, I have severe pain in the left side bone of my left foot, and sometimes even my big tow is hurting. There is no pain the entire day but by end of the day, it is hurting making me difficult to walk. It started the day I did some yoga for feet, watching a video. I just did it because now during summer I have lot of work in my vegetable patch and I also go for long walks. So I thought I should make my feet stronger. My knees have been hurting since 5 years and when I started taking ACV, my knee pain vanished. but since everyone around me started telling me that I lost a lot of weight and the skin on my face also started becoming loose, and some said I am looking older than the older people around me. So I stopped taking Apple Cider Vinegar for the past couple of months. and my knees were also fine. But now knee plus bone in my feet are hurting. But it happens only by the end of the day.
Please suggest some remedy as you have always been suggesting very good remedies for my health problems and also for so many readers you have been helping.

I know you said you're taking one to two tablespoons each morning for a week and I do one teaspoon turmeric powder 1 teaspoon cinnamon and almost 2 tablespoons of grated fresh ginger root, so I do the Apple cider vinegar on its own and I do the other ingredients I mentioned in a tea. I've been doing that for probably very steadily 2 months possibly longer and I do think that the bone spurs in my neck are improving. The reason I say that is I haven't had them bother me and sometimes I think if things are getting better I kind of forget about them but I was glad to see your post because it reminded me that I've been taking those things quite a while.

More research suggested apple cider vinegar may have some benefits in dissolving of the calcium build up. I still had nearly a full bottle so I began taking 1-2 table spoons full each morn a week ago, and I am quite pleased with the results thus far.
Of course the BIG arthritis foundations call it a myth and suggest, you guessed it, FDA approved pharmaceutical medications.

Sorry for poor English( Its my third language). I hope cabbage leaves and scoby will help to some people.
Yes, dilute if you want to try it again, or just use the apple cider vinegar internally as a daily tonic. 1 Tablespoon in a glass of water once or twice a day. Might not work as quickly, but it does help many.

I soaked a washcloth in apple cider vinegar, wrapped it around my heel and put my foot in a gallon sized food storage bag. My husband thought I was crazy. I kept the bag and washcloth on my foot for about two hours (while I watched TV) for three evenings. My foot feels so much better. It's not perfect, but so much better. I can walk again without pain. I don't know how it works, but it does. I am going to keep using it until there is absolutely no discomfort at all.

You said that you were hoping to see results in the long term. That is wise. So many give up after a short term attempt with a natural cure. My husband has been taking a very small amount of Borax for about 18 months. (About 1/32 of a teaspoon in about 6 cups of water over the course of a day for 4-5 days a week) His heel spurs are much smaller and no longer give him pain. But it did take a long time to see the results.
Slow and steady wins the race!

I rub the Magnesiun Oil into the skin of the joints and areas where I have any problems, let it sink in and be absorbed through the skin until it dries (Approximately 20-30 mins). This can be done 3 or 4 times a day if required, your body will tell you when to back off after it has absorbed enough into your system. Most of us are lacking in Magnesium and need to get as much into our bodies as we can (This is why we have these problems with our bodies).
It can be taken along with the supplements you are taking as it is absorbed through the skin and not taken orally.
20 Mule Team Borax is the type you need to buy and as far as I know there are no side effects from taking it, not in my case anyway. I placed 1/4 teaspoon in a glass of filtered water and drank that straight down, increasing it to 1/2 teaspoon after 3 or 4 days. It was a matter of trial and error for me but it worked, start off slowly and take it from there.
The Borax article suggests 1/4 teaspoon in a litre of water and sip it all day, I was unable to do that and it worked for me. Read the article again and it will explain that to you, I like to try things and then change it to suit myself if I can without going overboard. The article also explains that Magnesium Oil works well in conjunction with Borax.
Good luck with it, I hope you will be as impressed with the results as I have been.

I am also very impressed reading the Borax article. Any side effects ? What kind of Borax do I get and how should it be consumed?

Hi, I am replying because have the same lower back, hip, knee pain. While I also take supplements, for years I have used the Ayurvedic MAHANARAYAN oil which is sesame oil with added minerals.
The pain came up a little while ago from an old injury and I was yelling with it. I warmed the oil and applied it liberally especially over the lower spine, then buttock, hip and adductor muscles and the knee but finally the whole leg and the other side to not be one sided in the treatment. I have to do it every other day and am painless as a result. At the same time it is so good for the skin. I actually have used it from top to bottom over many years as it is stated to rejuvenating and my skin is very good. This oil also sees to spider veins and varicose veins over time. With the treatment the hands become more flexible and youthful.
Just wanted to post this as it is so good for pain , skin and the entire head, too. For diabetics it improves on the numbness of the feet, improves circulation and helps with sleep if rubbed on the soles before bed time.
This oil is available online or from Ayurvedic supply or East Indian shops. If not, pure sesame oil alone will do a a lot.
Namaste, Om

I have been using Magnesium Oil Transdermally (Magnesium Chloride) for 12 Months now and the results have been outstanding. I had problems similar to you for years and now most of those problems are gone.
I have recently started using Borax as a supplement as well (6 days) and the Bone Spur on my Heel is nearly gone. I have had this for 8 months and nothing I tried helped much at all until now. I tried ACV which made it worse and through trial and error realised that I was too Acidic. Borax is an excellent alkyliser - about 9 PH and works wonders in conjunction with Magnesium Oil.
Look up "The Borax Conspiracy" by Walter Last, it will make a lasting impression on you. Good luck with it.

1. Apple Cider Vinegar (1 Tbsp per day diluted in 500ml water)
2. Glucosamine Chondroitin (Glucosamine 1500mg/day)
3. Supplement containing Vitamin A, C, D3, E, B1, B2, B6 and B12 and also has Mg, Copper, Boswellia Serrata,
4. Vitamin D3 1000IU (1 tablet daily)
5. Once in a while I take Calcium Magnesium (333mg/167mg resp)
Its been 6 weeks since I started on this protocol and have seen some relief to my hip pain. If any of you have tried other remedies please share. I am heavily counting on ACV, Glucosamine and Mendamine to reverse my condition if possible to the least slow my progression.
FYI, I am not in pain but some discomfort occasionally in groin and buttock area. Feel the pain when I get in/out of car but its a very mild pain. Also, I walk on treadmill for 2 miles (30 mins) everyday for 4 to 5 days a week for last few weeks.

Try it. Hope it helps. There are many types of almond milk to pick from. The unsweetened vanilla is better tasting, but I can drink any of them.

My bone spur is gone from my right heel, and the neuropathy, which developed after having a bone spur surgically removed from my left foot, is completely gone.
The arthritis in my ankles and wrist has subsided, as well.
I bought mine from a Farm Store and paid $20 for a 10 pound bag, which should last me 8 months. Good Luck...
