For the past 11 years I’ve done alot of work, energetically, to “turn back the clock”. After all, that’s a great part of what stress management is about.

At age 61  people tell me that I appear to be in better shape than when I was in my 40′s. There is no question that I have more energy and stamina.

That’s all well and good, but I finally had to acknowledge that in spite of all this I had been gradually experiencing more and more pain in my left hip,and also my neck, particularly on damp and cold days. On those days I would walk (and feel) like I was 100.

Turns out that it was arthritis. And the pain was becoming unbearable. It was scary, because it made me think about getting old.

Problem is, I don’t believe the aging process should be this way. Our cells are constantly regenerating. Even Hippocrates said we all have a doctor within us, and that nutrition is a vital force in allowing this “doctor” to do its magic.

So,  I started reading up on some natural dietary solutions.

Interestingly enough, there’s alot of information out there on animal protein and many share the opinion that if it were omitted from the diet arthritis pain could be relieved or even eliminated.

I’ve always been a huge meat eater, but decided to give it a try. Amazingly, it wasn’t that difficult , and guess what- the pain is actually gone. However when I shared the decision not to eat meat for a while with others the most common reply was “You must have seen Food Inc”.

I hadn’t.  So, just finished watching it on youtube.com
