Knee soreness: need to detox? If so, how?

Question

Hi All: I have been having a slight pain in my knee and have had this for the last two weeks. The doctor says that all I can do is take pain medicine. I have also been icing it and putting a hot towel on it daily. Do you all think I need to detox? If so, how? What causes knee pain--I have been quite busy lately.

Answer 1

"Detox" is absurd nonsense and none of the things that are supposed to "detox" you will be helpful for knee pain.

No, you do not need to "detox".  

NOBODY EVER needs to "detox".

(Rory - entirely different kind of thing.  No relation.  Drug "detox" is just a gradual withdrawal.)

Answer 2

How does detox have to do with knee soreness? The knee is probably one of the most complicated joint of the body and pain is most likely due to use, abuse or some trauma to the area.

Answer 3

you need to drink lots of water.  also, take over-the-counter glucosamine.  No need to buy it combined with chondroitin.  that's a ripoff.  Also, take lysine and folic acid.  you should do exercises to strengthen your thighs and calves.  strong muscles will hold bones and ligaments in place.

Answer 4

I'm no doctor, but I do know about detoxing.  I use Calli tea from Sunrider.  Many things can cause knee pain.  Icing is good to take the swelling down and then use heet.  Have you ever seen a Chiropractor?  They can help.  Hope I have helped.

Answer 5

Soak your body in Epsom Salts along with Baking Soda in the hottest bath you can tolerate for a min. of 20min to 30min. After that go immediately to the shower and take a cold one. More on the luke warm side! You should also drink lemon water from now on, this will help break up any calcification that may be settled in your joints. As far as the answer given that "No one needs to detox" well maybe not in this case but I'm sure some Heroin and Coke addicts would beg to differ!!

(Opus I understand the differences but the conclusions are the same... to eliminate the poisons in the body, be it drugs or chemicals)
