Tendonitis

[carl meyer]

David:

I think tendonitis is related to carpal tunnel syndrome.  Dr. Joel
Wallach 
a veterinarian and naturopathic physician claims that the minerals
arsenic, manganese and choline prevents this.  He also recomends B-6 at
75mg t.i.d. and zinc at 50 mg t.i.d.  The minerals are available in
colloidal form from his virgin earth plant derived  minerals.  It is a
liquid.  If you'd like more info please e-mail me privately.  Hope you
do well. 

Regards,
