Repairing Painful Knees and Other Joints |
May 18, 2012 |
|
Do your knees hurt? Are stairs starting to be a misery? When you drop something and it rolls under the couch, do you dread kneeling to retrieve it? Do you avoid getting down on your hands and knees to play with the kids or grandkids? Our knees, hips and ankles are joints that take a beating in daily life, because they support our weight, act as shock absorbers, and allow us to run, jump, dance and dodge. And like movable parts in a machine, they are more prone to problems and they can wear out faster than the rest of our body.
Most people respond to knee and joint pain by taking over-the-counter pain relievers like aspirin, acetaminophen, or ibuprofen. But those options take a tremendous toll on the stomach and liver, and have life-threatening adverse effects. They reduce pain, but at a price. In fact, there’s no truly safe over-the-counter option to pain relief and joint health, which is why you need to look for smarter – and more natural – approaches.

There is No Way To Eliminate Stress But We Can Build a Resistance Against Stress
Many herbs around the world are considered adaptogens. Each country has been blessed with an herb that can be considered stress relieving. In Siberia, Mongolia and China the herb rhodiola is a proud example of a stress reliever. Schisandra, also from China, is another example of a powerful adaptogen. In Russia, eleuthero is prized as a stress reliever. In India, the most important herb for reducing stress and bringing calm to the body is ashwagandha. Adaptogens are considered non-toxic, very safe, stress relieving and builds a powerful resistance from within. Adaptogens can also reduce depression, reduce insomnia, improve sex performance and increase libido, stimulate the immune system, and improve physical and mental performance. This, I think, should be one of the top picks for the Dr. Oz show. Some companies actually combine these four adaptogens as each one will provide a synergistic value to the combination of these herbs.

How Will You Accomplish Your Dreams?
Are you facing a situation that seems impossible? Have you been fighting a battle for a long time? The key is: don’t go around talking about how big the problem is. Don’t go around confessing that you’re never going to make it. No, start declaring, “The gracious hand of God is upon my life!” When you realize God’s hand of favor is upon you, you will accomplish your dreams faster than you thought!
When those thoughts of doubt come, declare the truth of God’s Word! “How are you going to get out of debt?” “The gracious hand of God is upon my life.” “How are you going to get well?” “The gracious hand of God is upon my life.” “How are you going to break that addiction?” “The gracious hand of God.” “How are you going to accomplish your dreams?” “The gracious hand of God!”
The more you brag on God’s favor, the more you declare and believe His promises, the more you’ll see His favor. As you keep standing in faith, as You keep hoping in Him, you’ll see His promises manifest in your life. You’ll experience His favor and victory and see every dream and desire come to pass!
Father God, thank You for placing Your dreams and desires within me and for creating a plan to bring them to pass. Even when I can’t see a way, I trust that You are making a way. You are good, and today I declare that Your gracious hand is upon every area of my life in Jesus’ name! Amen.
