Tendonitis is a pest and it can take literally months to heal, esp. if one is "older" and "less moist"!! The received wisdom "out there", is that there is a lack of blood flow and oxygen to certain of the body's more trouble-prone tendons for whatever reason.
At times one despairs it will ever heal! Especially is this the case when a load bearing joint is involved such as ankle/foot/knee etc. Stick with a regular programme of treatment with maybe week-ends off.
You are adopting some good measures to mitigate the effects and you could pick up more useful tips on this Site under "Tendonitis". Make sure you read Ted's invaluable advice on it also. Search for that one specifically.
I am taking a joint supplement that is supposed to target tendons and ligaments as well as the joint itself. In combo with the following, I am having a few better days, if I do not stress the joint too much.
Alfalfa tablets: 340mgs at the rate of two such tabs three times per day straight after meals for a couple of months MAY benefit depending on the individual. Some folks take mega-doses to start with to give the system a kick in the guts as it were. Be cautious if you are on some meds - the doctors should be able to advise. Alfalfa is popular with many sufferers. It has heaps of minerals - try for organic if possible.
Alkalize the body and drink twice as much water as you are currently consuming spread out throughout the day. Whenever I wake up during the night I will take a half glass also.
There is an accepted protocol of alternating ice with warmth but you should not ice for more than a few minutes at a time. A hot water bottle is a good, inexpensive investment here for either heat or cooling. Or you could hide a bag of frozen peas in a tea towel!
Not sure about the grass but one hermit in our hills advised me to walk bare foot on the beach for my knee. Something about "Grounding".
My Acupuncturist deplored my wearing gumboots and persuaded me to place orthopaedic inserts into some proper shoes which I have done. I am in for the long haul and have cut down my intake of fried foods.
I would crawl across broken glass to get rid of my tendonitis.
I have not begun to mention creams or poultices but Ginger and Turmeric are good and a bandage support can be wonderful.
Good luck and always remember the well-worn adage: "Life could be Sweet - if You would only look after your Feet".
Cheers,

High Blood Pressure
I do grounding or earthing as you call it.. walk around barefoot outside or I plant my feet in grass for half hour for my hbp.........Now I live in NY and it does get cold in winter so that is an issue..
I am just in awe that you can do this for an hour .. is this an hour a day??

Going barefoot AND harboring pets like dogs & cats is dramatically increasing one's risk of parasite infestation, so it is advised to take proper precautions there.
Daily exposure to any or all Solffagio Harmonics is recommended for the removal of bad energy. Any Chakra balance or attunement is also recommended as stress and bad external energy damages those centers.
Lastly and on the other end of the spectrum, many Near Death Experiencers have reported miraculous healing from traumatic or chronic injuries after visiting the beyond and bringing back some of the devine energies. Mellen-Thomas Benedict was totally cured of stage 4 cancer during his journey. http://www.mellen-thomas.com/. It can be properly deduced from the NDE'ers as well as documented Saints, Gurus, Brahmins, Yogis etc that higher states of consciousness also has direct positive effects on body health.
Earthing
I have heard of Earthing (Grounding), and had read about it in the past. I always intended to do it.... but hadn't yet.
It was such a fascinating video!
They drew blood from a few people and showed before and after slides after one hour of earthing. Before earthing, their blood was all clumped up, the celles all smashed together looking. After being grounded for one hour.... Wow.... you could see each individual blood cell! Amazing.
I have chronic upper back pain due to scoliosis and hereditary issues. It gets very bad from time to time, and yesterday my back was in a TOTAL lockdown spasm. (Whis was why I had the afternoon to spend on the internet Watching longevity Warehouse videos ;-).
After seeing the videos on earthing, I thought.... What the heck. I am just going to go outside and stand around in the grass barefoot for awhile. We have almost and acre of grass to mow here. I decided to just take it slow, and mow the front grass barefoot!
NOTE: I do NOT recommend mowing while barefoot... Aside from being dangerous, your feet will turn BLACK-GREEN and you must allow for a l-o-n-g foot soak to get them clean again!
So, after one hour of tromping around barefoot in the green, green grass - My back didn't hurt ONE BIT. I mean, the pain was TOTALLY GONE! The pain is slowly starting to come back again today, but I seriously slept like a baby last night! This is amazing! I plan on going out daily and walking around barefoot. They say one hour a day is the minimum.
Going to look into the grounding thing for beds. Seems like that you be the way to go. I couldn't imagine how eight hours a night of being grounded would make me feel, when one hour had such a profound effect on my pain!
Here is the link to the Earthing Experiment intro video. The rest of them are on the "videos" tab at the top of the Longevity Warehouse page. Click on that, and MANY interesting videos will show up. These are near the bottom of the page.
What an excellent site - Thanks again to Lisa for showing it to us EC'ers! :-)

Earthing
We are now surrounded by EMF - Electro Magnetic Fields all around us in our homes, offices, everywhere. Wireless phone towers surround us in our cities. Ours shoes mostly have rubber soles (instead of leather which grounds us to the earth) so we never ground ourselves to the earth anymore.
It is a fascinating concept. From the article linked:
"Earthing, or grounding, as we alternatively call it, refers to the discovery of significant health benefits resulting from contact with the Earth's natural surface electric energy. Contact is as simple as walking barefoot outside, or sitting, working, or sleeping indoors connected to conductive devices that transfer the outside ground energy inside to you".
The Benefits of Earthing
For more than ten years, Earthing research and feedback from individuals who have grounded themselves, primarily while sleeping at night, demonstrate a multitude of benefits. Here is a short list of them:
- improvement or elimination of the symptoms of many inflammation-related disorders
- reduction or elimination of chronic pain
- better sleep and faster to sleep
-increased energy
-lowered stress, more calmness by cooling down the nervous system and stress hormones
-normalization of the body's biological rhythms
- thinner blood, improved blood pressure and flow
-muscle tension and headache relief
- lessened hormonal and menstrual symptoms
- dramatically faster healing and reduction/prevention of bedsores
- reduction/elimination of jet lag
- protection against potentially health-disturbing environmental electromagnetic fields (EMFs)
-accelerated recovery from intense athletic activity
http://www.townsendletter.com/May2010/earthing0510.html
So we all should spend at least 40 minutes each day (or whenever possible) sitting or standing outside in bare feet with our feet touching the ground (or buying some grounding equipment to sleep at night with). Walk in the park with bare feet or your backyard and get some great sun while you are at it... Or make sure you buy shoes with a leather sole.

Now about six weeks on I can guarantee I can go to bed and get to sleep without jerking awake with anxiety a few minutes later. I do still have to get up once a night for the loo, and don't always sleep until the alarm, but this earthing sheet has been the best investment in my health that I have ever made. I sleep deeply now, and for a good seven to eight hours. I thought I would have insomnia for ever and dreaded never getting a decent night's sleep. Also it was a lottery as to whether I would sleep or not. Now I would say it is 95% better. Please all you insomniacs out there, buy an earthing sheet, and try to walk barefoot too. It is a wonderful experience, and you want more and more of it.

I still use the homemade mat at the computer and tv.
My emotions are steadier, calmer, my mind is clearer and I can read again. My muscle strength is coming back slowly. I sleep like a ROCK. I fall asleep suddenly and wake up at 5 or 6 am, where before I wanted to stay in bed all day. I awake lying on my right side, which was always a no-no due to reflux, but that is GONE now. Whether its helped my snoring, I'll have to ask, but my sleep is so sound now I can't be doing too much snoring.
I will never stop earthing as long as I live. They will have to tear my earthing sheet out of my cold dead hands, because I'll be trying to take it with me!
Hey everybody! Get in touch with the EARTH! It feels GOOD! And it's FREE!

I think I will attempt to get rid of the electromagnetic fields in the bedroom first, as so much time is spent there. It certainly can't hurt, and might be of great benefit.
It seems like being conected to the earth would be a very good thing as well. Really interesting stuff. Thanks for sharing it! ~Carly

What has helped me more than anything (besides keeping my blood sugar as normal as possible) is going barefoot more and wearing shoes that do not compress my feet. if I wear shoes that compress any part of my feet I am more likely to have this problem.
Also for me socks are a NO. all socks either bind my toes too tight once I put my shoes on or the elastic in the top hinders circulation.
When I stopped wearing socks and shoes that don't leave compression marks I have virtually stopped having this problem.
Hope that helps! going barefoot is the very best for me. I know they say that diabetic should always wear shoes but for me this made me worse. now that my feet are stronger I feel much better all over and much more steady on my feet!

Both systems are actually complementary in alternative medicine. Many are quite familiar with energy balancing, electrical balancing of the body, restoring "blockages" of chakras and all that, but there is something more important than that even energy healers sometimes forgot. Natural electrical flows must be strong enough and only energy balancing is supportive of that electrical flow. That means energy balancing is not helpful if the overall basic flow of the entire body is low.
Take for instance electric motors where the electrical connections to the motors are not good (blockages). The electrical motors will not run as efficiently and hence the principle of energy balancing is to restore that connection, or at least improve on that connection. This can be very clearly seen if the battery power supplying the electric motor is weak, but the interesting thought is if the battery power was strong enough, even a slightly defective connection, it could still run quite efficiently. Children seems as if their "energy is balanced", but in fact it is their battery powers that are strong, not necessarily that their energy are balanced, but it does appear to be so, such as the electric motor analogy.
Therefore, energy balancing or chakra blockages is useless if electrical flow of battery power of the body is zero. The issue therefore appears to be how to increase that battery power and hence, a necessary pre-condition for an energy balancing, or restoring blockages to work best. The entire explanation of this art just goes beyond this posting, but briefly electrical energy properties can be maintained several ways, through drinking or bathing of natural sea salts which restores electrical imbalance in the body as sea salt is electro-conductive, through the use of different metal rods that the ancient Egyptians have used since ancient times.
Basically this is a posting that I sent in detail years ago to earthclinic on how to measure it, as well as how to restore balance to this, but I guess that posting was lost so I mention a small portion of the less technical aspects of it. Basically, certain metals are ideal for right hand and left hand. This means copper is to the right side of the body and zinc is to the left side. Different metals used on different parts of body have different electrical properties also. Therefore wearing a ring of certain metal composition either to the left or to the right may actually make your health much worse or better. So I guess you are playing with fire, especially if you are wearing a wedding rings. Women tend to wear wedding rings to the left, but most metals, amusingly are of positive charge and should actually be worn of the right! Most metals have an electropositive charges relative to the other metals, but in general they are of positive charge with possible exception of zinc, aluminum, etc, which is to the left! So after marriage, I guess wearing wedding rings on the wrong side of the body just messes their natural electrical flow of the body.
The only way to prevent that besides changing sides of the body, I guess is to change the kinds of metal being worn on the left side of the body, such as zinc and other metals of similar electric negativity charges. Therefore, wearing metals depends on where they are located on the right hand and left hand. In fact I have actually seen a vein and artery growth going a U turn direction or to actually change the direction of growth whenever certain metals (e.g. zinc, copper, etc) are put in part of the body causing a cut off in circulation towards the extremities within days after the application!
With this knowledge it is potentially unsafe to put in certain metals as a prosthetics as it will interfere with neural, veins and other natural repair systems going on through a distrubed natural electrical properties that is interfered. On the other hand a converse is true if you want to experience a growth circulatory veings and arteries of these where the circulation is poor. All that was explained partially in the book by Dr. Robert Becker in, The Body Electric and his second book, Crosscurrent.
Basically this is an ancient art of healing that was used as part of sun gazing, which we required that a person walked bare footed when gazing at the bright lights, and in practice not necessarily directly at the sun, or whenenver the sun is sunrise or sunset. Scientfically this makes sense, because there is a little understanding of our body's natural electrical flow in the arts of healing energy. It was Dr. Robert Becker that solved this mysteries through his studies on amputated limbs and its eventual regeneration of amputated limbs.
Yes it can be done provided that the electrical voltages of the extremities are large enough, and this does not mean 100,000 volts, but only in the region of nanoamperes, whch is an extremely small amount of power. Humans don't possessed even that amount and it is actually the salamanders that have that kind of nanoamps so they can restore their amputated limbs. Dr. Robert Becker was able to do that by metals, but actually there are simpler ways. So I guess, the secret to health an longevity and actually if I have time, is how to increase the body's battery power.
The concept of standing on a wet sand barefooted works on the principle that the ground is acually of negative electricity, while the atmosphere is positive. This might be strange for most people, but negative charges, electrons, goes from negative to positive poles. The charges acquired by the clouds are actually positive charges, and this is why frequent flyers are so unhealthy, the positive charges steal electrons from the person while in the airplane. Most people understood that the lightning bolt goes from cloud to the ground, however the truth is the opposite. It goes from the ground to the clouds. A typical mountaineer expert will actually know before a lightning is struck on this basic principle and this could save your life. Before a lightning strikes a ground, static charges are acquired before being struck on that area. I remember a typical students who was happy to see their hair was standing straight and took polaroid pictures only seconds before they were struck by lightning killing the everyone in the pictures. If in a rainstorm there is a static charges on you must run to places AWAY from the static charges. Otherwise you will get struck by a lightning!
Sylvester Stallone played a movie, Cliffhanger, in which they mentioned during the making of the movie that the crew experienced an electrical charge where the hair was standing on end. The mountain guide warned that that was the area the lightning is going to strike, saving the lives of the production crew. Therefore, the ground is negative charges and the cloud is positive charges.
If you can connect the dots, it was Dr. Robert Becker by measuring electrical differences in a salamander and you can make a blotting paper of salt water to prove that also that determined that the central neural system is of positive charges while the extremities are USUALLY negative charges, with the EXCEPTION of the head which is positive charge. Therefore a typical human in a standup position, the natural electrical flows increases, much like the body recharging itself or increase battery if the person is standing on barefooted and allow a strong wing to blow through his body. The electrical flows of negative charges on the feet goes to the head where the head is of positive charges, and hence the electrical flow is improved.
The wind, especially moist wind and the wet ground are good conductors of electricity will improve such flow. You can of course make an analog where sea salt water is put on your feet and a humidifier while you are standing up right. The sea salt metal container, therefore should be well grounded so as the body can acquire the negative charges while the head with the air humidifier acquires the positive charges improving the electrical conductivity. When this happens, many health conditions can be healed by increasing the electrical charges. However, you can also increase the body's battery power by chemical means also, but I never really gone far enough for lack of time.
Your body is basically an alkaline battery and this is why time and time again I would use the use of apple cider vinegar plus baking soda formula. Why apple cider vinegar and baking soda should increase the body's electrical charges? Simple, malic acid or malates, when reacted with baking soda becomes an alkaline solution. The chemical malate which is the component of the apple cider vinegar or apple acid, is involved with the body's Kreb's cycle, which is the center of energy production in the mitochondria.
It is not surprising therefore that people who take apple cider vinegar alone or apple cider vinegar with baking soda to report increase in energy. It is this increase in energy that is the key to increasing the body's natural battery power. And this is why whenever my friends told me he want to go see an energy healer that they should take plenty of apple cider vinegar with baking soda BEFORE an energy healing sessions by at least 15 minutes to an hour. It is almost an absolute prerequisites that before energy healing sessions that a body's battery power be increased otherwise energy balancing session won't work as well. In fact a tiny amount (less then even a pinch) of natural sea salts be added to improve electrical conductivity too.
For those purists, I am sure you can make an electrolyte alkaline solution with maximum electrical charges by using a simple multimeter with zinc and copper electrodes to measure the electricity. The clue is simple: the solution must be about 7.35 pH being the primary condition. Baking soda is always used. Any mixtures of citric acid, malic acid, vitamin C, potassium citrate, sodium citrate, etc can be used and trace minerals can be added. If you can get this solution electrical properties high enough, the body should be able to have high enough electrical charges to be able to create stem cells and cellular regeneration.
This is no hypothesis, Dr. Robert Becker have mentioned that in presence of silver ions, treated nylon on victims of open wound leg injury that there were teeming numbers of "dedifferentiated" cells and this is actually stem cells that is responsible for the cure of so many diseases. You need not wait for the government to approve stem cells, when you can do this at your own home for healing purposes. So this is a circuitous explanation why standing on the feet on wet sand, but ESPECIALLY salted water that you can cure all kinds of disease. It is the basic of energy healing, regardless of whatever energy healing practices you are doing, the body's battery power is important. The whole issue of electrical properties goes beyond this posting and the ancient Egyptians have done it too, using the wands of horus, where, copper rods was was > to the right hand ( ) charge and zinc was > to their left hand (-)..
