my step dad has been diagnosed with osteo arthritis.
whats the best foods with calcium for him other than milk and calcium orange juice?
he has it in his spine/lower back.
he is 56 yrs old. how can we determine how much calcium he is really getting?
if he needs 1,200 calcium per day, does like 30% mean he needs 70% more to get his full days requirements????
anyone who really knows, please tell us.
thanks, candy

Imagine for a moment your arthritis completely vanishing right now.
If, in a moment, your pain and stiffness melted away. And your joints all of a sudden functioned like a well-oiled machine.
Like a magic wand was waived, you'd be able to jump up from your chair and run around the room like a kid.
And imagine that you'd never have to suffer as much as a pinch of arthritis stiffness or pain ever again.
I know this sounds impossible right now, but bear with me, because sometimes miracles happen.
It was a gift from a woman on the other side of the world. From the kindness of her heart, she took pity on my suffering and taught me how to completely reverse my arthritis.
Today, I want to do the same for you!

I have arthritis in my knees and elbows. The only thing I have found that works for me is Glucosamine and Chrondroitin with MSM and I buy it at Wal-Mart... it makes the difference between walking with a cain or walking without one... it saved my life.

Osteoarthritis has nothing to do with CA. It is simply a wear and tear on joints. Let him have a normal diet. This is not the same as osteoporosis.

His doctor should be the one to tell him. Also, the healthfood store and pharmacist can tell you
