I read a study that people who took a regimen of glucosamine/chondroitin versus those who didn't resulted in the first group having less long term need for joint replacement surgery with marked differences in articular remodeling and better densities. There are also specific supplements that can 'claw out' spurs and redeposit the calcium where it needs to go, back in the bones themselves essentially restocking them more appropriately where they should go. So much of the food people eat is not micronutrient rich which is why people get fat because then their body wants to eat more 'food' to get more micronutrients that their diet of white starch isn't supplying.

What can act as a body solvent or cleaning agent, basically a scrubber, is heavy hydration combined with juicing lots of citrus. It seems to be a good clawing agent at promoting good bone health while denying(or removing) awkward bone activity that may result in various spur-like activity. K2 is one of many that has this purported clawing activity. It is remarkable.

There was a periodontist in the US years ago that was tired of drilling holes in children's teeth and wondered why the same children in India who never brushed their teeth had so many less problems with cavities. So he stopped his practice and, like a scientist, moved to India to observe the culture. He noticed each family had 2 to 3 dairy cows, cows who ate fresh and fast growing grass, and the children would go out and get the pails of milk from these animals everyday. What he found was that the rich loading of K2 in the milk was a bone health agent. NOT the calcium! The K2.

So he observed the action of K2 under microscope and noticed it would even claw off tartar from teeth once it was placed over it, just dissolve it. He began prescribing it to his children patients and watched as even holes in the teeth would begin re-filling in with fresh bone! This remodeling of bone made him study this dynamic even further. Apparently, it wasn't just K2's effects on bone. K2 would also claw out calcium deposits anywhere in the body where they shouldn't be from adhesions in the brain to calcifications around the vessels of the heart. And it would add to the calcium stock of the bones what it had taken from those unnatural areas. It was like a transporter, escorting calcium out of areas where it wasn't needed and depositing back into the bones.

But, it went further. The K2 was studied by culture, or cultures more exposed to it than others. Even in Japan where they don't take in a lot of calcium, they eat natto which is rich in K2 and their bone quality is resilient. The French who have always eaten a ton of butter on everything to the dismay of Western doctors and drank loads of wine, it was discovered that their rates of heart disease were far less than the US. The butter is fresh from cows eating fast growing grass. It is the sun exposure that rains down heavy into the leaf that the animals graze on that gives the butter its rich K2, also omega 3s. French butter will melt at room temperature. They place slabs of ice on it to keep it solid at restaurants so it won't melt. In addition cultures like Sweden and Norway, the people have longer limbs with a more symmetrical appearance in the face. We call this 'beauty'. Same with the children in India who have square jaws and symmetrical faces. Fetuses exposed to K2 in the womb from the mother's diet have greater, or fuller, bone development or a more complete bone development than other cultures where you see other kids who lack facial symmetry or suffer from kyphosis, etc.

The key here for us is the effect of K2 on bone health as well as removal of spurs which can put pressure on nerves. Spurs are softer than bone but are caused IMO by a lack of solvent-like removal from the body, and can be remediated by a diet rich in K2 as well as active hydration and citrus. You can see cases where the spurs begin to initially round off, then disappear.

As for cartilage, it can also be rebuilt through aggressive, long term nutrition and getting blood flow into the joint areas. It is a lifestyle you must commit yourself to in order to see the benefits. The US medical system addresses post disease with medications and surgery. It is better to get in front of these problems. Sun energy food is vital. The sun is what transmits or carries the nutrients from the soil into the leaves which are beneficial. Juicing is critical. As well as getting enough protein. I also take a ton of collagen of a variety of brands in order to rebuild the webbing of the body. I also have been on TRT for 2 years now which also helps.
