I would also strongly encourage taking a boron supplement, which was shown in a prior paper I posted to free up and reduce pain in osteo arthritis joints, in about two months (6-12 mg of boron a day).
Is Boron radioactive?

My own hip osteoarthritis was so very bad that 9 years ago I had to have both hips replaced (in two separate surgeries, separated by five months). Before the surgery I could not separate by knees by even an inch without excruciating pain, and had been on wrap-around crutches for the previous three years (and used a cane years before that).
I now describe those hip replacements as the best decision I ever made. I now walk normally and am 100% pain free. A few weeks ago I went to my hip surgeon for a checkup (I had not been since pre-COVID) and the x-rays revealed that my 9-year-old titanium hips were completely unchanged over that time.
Looking back, I wish I had begun looking for a surgeon just as soon as I started using a cane to get about.
Picking the right surgeon was critical. For example, I recently had a friend/associate who had a hip replacement, and somehow the ball and socket were incorrectly sized for one-another. What he went through to correct that was not at all enviable. Also, with a less skilled surgeon the patient might end up with one leg being a little longer than the other, which can result in other serious problems down the road.
It is also important to understand the differences between the traditional approach and the hopefully-more-common "anterior approach".
Having metal hips means setting off all the metal detectors at the airport (they just put you through a different sensor). It also means that having an MRI in the future becomes a non-option.
My husband has a hip issue and does ‘protect’ his walk which makes things worse but I also get why. I will say that this article is exactly right about our mind having such bearing on this but it is really a spiritual thing as well. The enemy loves to come against our mind and tell us we’re incapable of this that or the other. Therefore, we MUST push against those lies and do what seems to go against our thoughts.
Re boron, I like it but I seem to get depressed when I take it, like it’s lowering the cortisol too much or something. Any recommendation on a good brand?
Just take turmeric twice a day and you’ll be fine. I’ve had osteoarthritis for years and the muscles in my hips work just fine. 🙄
