Plantar Fasciitis

Overview of:
What causes a bone/heel spur to develop?
There are many hard to believe theories on the causes of bone/heel spurs.
After many years of hearing what works for different people, our opinion/theory is stated below:

EXPERIENCES BELOW

Dear Theresa, I don't believe that I have ever thanked you properly for putting us on to the cure for Plantar Fasciitis. I read all and I mean all that you sent me and you were correct - In about five weeks the pain that my wife Louretha was experiencing was essentially gone ! She has continued to take the treatment and has had no further occurrence of the problem. In fact, some other pains seem to have disappeared as well. I can't tell you how much we appreciate the relief that you have given us in this situation.

You can feel free to use us as a reference for anyone else making an inquiry into the efficacy of the treatment.

Hi,

My problem started with pain in my right heel upon arising in the morning. It progressively got worse until the pain was constant and accompanied by sciatica extending from my right hip to my right foot.

After enduring several weeks of the above I saw an M.D. who described my problem as being sciatica and fascia plantar (irritation of the thick tissue at the bottom side of the foot) with the possibility that I might have a bone spur. She suggested that I use shoe inserts to relieve the pain and that I return if the pain persisted. I was also informed that a shot could be applied to my heel to relieve the inflammation and that I could ultimately be referred to Podiatry, if necessary, for surgery.

The pain persisted so in two weeks I returned to the Dr. I was sent to x-ray where it was confirmed that I had a bone spur. I also received a referral to Podiatry.

Upon confirmation that I had a bone spur I visited your web site and ordered your special calcium application.

I wasn't able to see the Podiatrist until about four weeks later. Over that time period I had taken appox. 300 tablets the special calcium application. I was finally relieved of most of the heel pain. The Podiatrist was certain that I had fascia plantar and offered to give me a shot which I declined. I told him I was getting relief from taking your application. But this fell on deaf ears.

Upon finishing about two and a half bottles of your application my heal pain was completely gone. My sciatic problem was eliminated after having consumed about a 5 week supply of the special calcium application. I now take eight tablets a day. I consider this to be cheap insurance to prevent painful reoccurrence. I am very grateful for your product and am living proof that it really works!

Sincerely,

Dear Theresa,

Hello there again. I don't know if you remember me (from Australia) but I e-mailed you sometime prior X'mas and you forwarded some very useful information about calium. I thought I'd keep you posted on my progress and have to say that the results have been incredibly positive.

I completed a 16km. walk just Sunday past, and would you believe it, I haven't felt any pain. Yes, I think that the special calcium helped tremendously as I started taking them sometime in mid-January after your contact so kindly sold me two bottles. I have already emptied one bottle, twice a day 4 tablets each time since then. I am now into my second bottle and the effects are terrific!

So thank you for the information you forwarded. I would certainly have no hesitation in recommending that others with my problem try the special calcium.

Just to give you a clearer picture. I haven't been able to do any lengthy walks for at least six months. Cheers and I hope that this New Year has been good to you.

Dear Rose,

Our tax counselor had noticed my limping as I walked into his office and inquired about it. I explained that I had surgery several weeks earlier on a heel spur. Both of my heels had painful spurs, but I decided to have only one taken care of at a time. However, the surgery increased the pain in the foot operated on dramatically. This tax counselor then began to counsel me on a certain brand of calcium which had done the most amazing things for him. I asked if he still takes it and his reply was, “I’m afraid not to take it”. Upon arriving home, without even removing my coat, I reached for the yellow pages and called your number. You have indeed proved exemplary representatives that distribute truly wonderful products. I’m so glad I made that call because you have become more like friends. A remarkable thing happened. The pain in my heels made walking difficult. I canceled every outing I possibly could. I sat with pillows under my legs, even using them at night so my heels did not touch the sheets. Because even touching my skin made them hurt. But, astonishingly, by the time I had taken only half of my second bottle of the special calcium, my husband and I were going dancing again. It was wonderful. Both feet were perfectly pain free after a year and a half of constant pain. Not just the one that had been operated on. If that had been the case, I would have thought it was the natural consequence of the operation itself. But, both feet were equally pain free and amazingly both at the same identical time. Proving the tremendous benefit this special calcium can produce.

That was two years ago. Like people sometimes do, I occasionally become “too busy” to remember to take the Calcium regularly. When that became too frequent I started limping because of the return of pain in the heel that was not operated on. As soon as I took the Calcium (again) in a few days the pain left totally. Do I take it regularly now? I’ll tell You like someone once told me - “I’m afraid not to take it”.

Gratefully,

Dolores Arpidone

My mother-in-law has (had) bone spurs on her spine along with arthritis, diabetes, and degenerative disks. She was in extreme pain and went to many specialists. She received cortizone shots which helped temporarily, but the pain would always return. She was using a walker and was headed for a wheelchair. When the doctors told her that there was nothing else they could do for her, she finally took my advice of 9 calcium a day (3 -3 times a day) and with in a couple of weeks her pain was completely gone. She also went to therapy, to regain the muscle tone that she had lost, due to her immobility. She tried to stop taking the special calcium (thinking that she didn't need it anymore) and the pain returned. In addition to remaining pain free, thanks to the special calcium, she has increased her bone density. I know this because, on several occasions, she has lost her balance and fell in the kitchen on the ceramic floor. She never had any breaks or or any bruises. She is 76.

Hi Theresa,

Last time we corresponded was in May of this year. Shortly afterward my wife Gina had the MRI and the doctors had her scheduled to see a neuro surgeon to schedule surgery to remove the bonespurs. She declined the appointment and immediately had me place a rush order for the special calcium. After two weeks she started seeing results. Theresa, her progress was unbelievable. I have little faith in miracles but I saw one happen here.

Today is 9 Sep. and Gina has been completely pain free for over a month and a half. We can never thank you enough for your encouragement and advice. The special calcium is everything you said it was and more. We are truly grateful to you.

Thanks again, Jim.

Fred,

I just wanted to tell you how much just taking "the application" has changed my life. Please feel free to use this as you see fit.

In October of 1994 I developed heel spurs on both of my feet. I was able to continue to work but with a great deal of pain. I hope I never have anything as bad as that again. Through the years I've tried everything, orthodics [2 pairs] physio therapy, ultra sound, massage,and icing, with little or no relief at all.

In June of 1998 the pain was so severe I was forced to quit work. It became so bad that I used a wheelchair just to get around in my own house. Needless to say I was on total rest for the next several months putting weight on my feet only when I had to. It was during this time that our son loaned me his computer and I learned how to surf the net. As a result I heard about people using the "special calcium application." Now, I had been taken standard calcium for years, so I didn't give much credit to this info, but I was desperate for help.

I must tell you Fred, two days after I got that first shipment from you, I started getting relief from the pain. By day four all the pain was gone. I continued taking four at each meal for about three weeks and then gradually reduced it to only four a day. When times were financial lean [remember I still wasn't working] I put off getting my order renewed and tried to stretch the calcium a little farther by taking them every other day. Within two weeks the pain was back.

Since then, I never skip a day taking them along with stretching exercises. I now have been pain free for six months. I am very grateful that I learned about this product and I urge anyone going through this to give "the application" a try, you've got nothing to lose.

Thanks for all your help!

I have been taking your calcium product for 3 1/2 weeks for lower back pain and have experienced much improvement to the point I am rarely bothered by this condition. My back problem came on suddenly late Nov. '99 and really gave me a lot of discomfort. Besides seeing my chiropractor and using ice - hot - ice packs, sometimes several times a day, (which would give me temporary relief) I am now mostly pain free and expect to keep improving. I will continue to use this product. My son-in-law is using your product for a bone spur on his elbow and after two months of continuous use he is pain free. He plans to continue using your product also. His name is Rick Patterson.

The special calcium has helped with a neck bonespur and also with a TMJ problem.

Thanks,

Dear Ken,

Thanks for relating your experience! Can we have your permission to use your message - hopefully to help others recognize the positive effects of the application?

Theresa

--------------2nd response

Theresa,

I would have no qualms about sharing my experiences with the special calcium. I mentioned in my previous message that I had a bone spur in my neck and a TMJ problem. The TMJ problem had been with me for many years and I had given up on finding a way to help that problem. So, much to my surprise, when I treated the bone spur and had excellent results(no more pain), I discovered that the TMJ problem was also fixed. Consequently, feel free to quote me on how happy I am with the addition of the special calcium in my daily diet.

Sincerely,

Ken Parker

Dear Rose:

I've been suffering from heel spurs in both my feet for approximately the past three years. I was able to walk at the most about 15 minutes before it became unbearable and I often felt very frustrated when it came to shopping, especially to go traveling which I love to do. I have done basically what everyone else is doing: the orthopedics, night splints, exercising, cortisone shots, ultra-sound and of course, icing. Some of these worked for short periods of time, others not at all. I could not imagine the rest of my life this way, there is some much more to do and see.

Having just recently had the opportunity to be an Internet user, one of the first things I did was to find information on Plantar Fasciitis and to see what other people were doing for relief. The most interesting information I came across was your application, but even then I was skeptical about consuming something that I didn't know a whole lot about. A couple of months went by before I gave it another thought, and that was only after a trip to Nevada had been planned. I knew it just wouldn't be as enjoyable for my husband if all we did was sit and he wanted to go so bad. As well I'm a person who wants to see everything possible.

Every now and then I would read the "Experiences" section on the web site, many of which I could relate to. Then approximately three weeks before our trip after being so worried about what to do since nothing else seemed to be working, I decided to order the tablets. Meanwhile I'm thinking it was probably too late for the trip but hey, its a start. After two weeks of taking them and by then we were in Nevada, I was totally pain free. My husband had to beg me to sit down and rest every couple of hours!

Thank you for providing the information on the internet, otherwise I would not have had any idea about the tablets and certainly my trip to Nevada would have been a painful experience.

Sincerely,

Marie Nolan

After reading the testimonies on your website regarding treatment of bone spurs with vital minerals I decided to give it a try. When UPS delivered it and I realized it had come from (-------), I immediately knew I had ordered a good product. After two weeks of faithfully taking it with my meals I could tell a remarkable difference. X-rays showed bone several bone spurs in my neck and it was painful for me to even look down to read the paper at the table. It just felt like I had a headache in my neck all the time. I just received my 2nd order and I intend to keep taking them....indefinitely. It also gives me the calcium I need. I'm so glad I found you on the internet.

I printed off your testimonies and gave copies to my medical doctor and my chiropractor who were both very impressed with my results.

I am another testimony to the favorable results from the tablets. I took 12 a day for three weeks in a row without missing a day. At the end of this time, the pain in my left heel,which was intense, had all but disappeared. The only thing I did differently over this period was take the pills..I am presently taking 9 a day and no pain has reoccurred. Thanks..They definitely worked for me.

Dear Glen,

Thanks so much for your update too. Would it be ok if we added yours to the many posts on the experiences page? Of course, we will not do this without your permission. Also, for your privacy, we would NOT include your e-mail address. You would be helping other people see that it really works. Please let us know.

You have my permission to use my comments. I am glad I found about the product..It really works.

Thanks again,

I still use the method that you told me to use with the calcium. I have been pain free now since last summer. Thanks and stay in touch.

Rick P.

This is to inform you that your calcium pills for my heel spur have worked wonders. I have finished my first bottle and i am happy to report that I am about 85% better. I now can play tennis without excruiating pain. I will keep taking them because I want to be 100%. I am very happy that I found your website. I must admit I was a bit skepitcal, but i am very glad I called you and got the information and vitamins. It has been 1 month since I started and I expect by the middle of my second month I will be back to normal. Thank you so much. I plan to spread the word.

Sincerely,

Jackie DiChiara.

Hi Jackie,

Great! We love to here the experiences... as they are so encouraging...really, I'm involved in this because I know this helps people like you find relief. Would it be ok if we add your experience to our growing "testimonial" website? -as this helps other people (who are in pain too) to overcome their skepticism ... and that the nutrition really works. As you know, many people who use the Internet are apprehensive, and true experiences like yours work to help comfort them into trying the application too. Of course we would NOT use your experience without your permission, and we will NOT give out your e-mail address unless you say that is ok to. Please let me know... by a response to this e-mail or you may call toll-free 1-800-701-1959.

You have my permission to use my testimonial. I would not want you to use my email address, though. I will be ordering from you when I'm about to run out. I just started my second bottle today. Thanks so much.

I have to tell you that I am thrilled. When I tell you that my heel bone spur was so bad that I could not walk more that a few steps without great pain, I am not exaggerating. My back has been bad because of my walking with a limp for so long. I took your product and within 30 days I was 50-80% better. At the end of 60 days I am 99% better. Last week I spent in San Franciso and I walked for hours with absolutely no pain. It is wonderful!!! Thank you for your help. What dosage should I take to keep the heel feeling this way? Thank you....thank you...thank you....

Barbara MacDonald

Hi Barbara,

Thanks for the e-mail. The "vital minerals" are working wonderfully. I just finished my first bottle and I'm noticing a big change not only in the pain being relieved in my foot but in my attitude. I didn't realize how depressed I was about not being able to be active. I'm noticing now that I'm asking my husband to go on walks and I am also starting a fitness program next week. I know this is due to the pain being relieved in my foot. I still have some pain but I'm taking the recommended start up dosage of four pills per meal. Anyway, I have a question. I also have joint problems in my knees and I wanted to start taking Glucosomine Chondroitan to help rebuild the area. I'm wondering if you forsee any problem with taking the GC along with the "vital minerals". If you could let me know your opinion on this or if you know of somewhere or someone that might know the answer to my question I'd really appreciate the feedback. I've told my sister about the "vital minerals" so she'll be ordering some too as foot bone spurs seem to run in our family!!

Thanks,

Trish F.

Hi Trish,

here should be no problem taking the GC and the "vital minerals" together, as we have heard about many people doing this with no problem whatsoever. Thank you for the encouraging update. Would it be ok if we used your experience to help encourage others to try this also. We will not give out your e-mail address to prevent you from being troubled. Of course, we will wait for your permission before posting your experience.

Thanks again. Best wishes,

Barbara

Hello Barbara,

Sorry it took so long for my reply. I'm a teacher so this time of year my time is so limited. Yes, you may use my experience to help others. My sister also has a bone spur in her foot and I have recommended "vital minerals" to her so she'll be calling! I can't tell you the difference this has made for me. In the old days I dreaded getting out of bed and I hardly made it through the school day. I even wondered if I was going to have to find a new career-one where I could sit most of the day. I've started a weight/nutrition program with my husband and have lost five pounds so far. In the past the thought of exercise was much too painful to bare. Now I'm getting in shape and have a spring in my step!!

Thanks again,

Trish
