Giving up on the buscuits & gravy & potatoes. Learning what turns into sugar and how quickly. Picking my way to a better diet but still leaving enough comfort to be able to eat that way for life. Also Morton Epsom Salt Lotion. I take many supplements but cannot attribute lessening pain to any one item, may be simply passage of time. I am afraid that a plant-based natural diet may be too much of a quantum leap for me. I am still getting used to 100% whole grain bread. haha. Thanks for your post, I will look at the diet with a sense of morbid curiosity,haha. Ken in Texas.
