Osteoarthritis...when I read this Frances, I immediately thought of my knees and the end of my running days. I used to wake up with the most excruciating pain in my knees. Knee surgery was suggested.
But then I found the Swedish Diet Doctor site and started reading. I totally cleaned up my diet, (no processed food) went on a low carb diet and three weeks later, my pain had disappeared. It has never returned. Worth a try???
