Berry Believers"I have had pain in my ankles, primarily my left ankle for about 10 years. I went to a doctor about 8 years ago who told me I had long term joint problems and there was nothing that can be done. Since it was getting worse, about 2 years ago I went to another doctor, who had an MRI performed on my left ankle which showed that I had a bone bruise which hadn't healed, with joint problems on top of the bruise. Surgery could help but it would be risky. Two people where I work eat aronia berries regularly for different reasons. They convinced me that I should try them to see if they would help my ankles. It's only been a month since I started eating them, but my ankles started feeling better within a few days. Before I couldn't walk more than a couple blocks. Now I'm starting to think I might be able to try jogging again. They are less swollen as well. I saw my MRI results. It's hard to believe that these berries can actually be healing the damage that I saw, but that is exactly what I feel is happening." - Ryan, age 46 |
