TREATMENT OF HEEL PAIN WITH MINERAL SALTS EXCHANGE: PROTOCOL FOR A CLINICAL PILOT STUDY
Introduction: The pain of the Achilles tendon and heel (ATHP) is a major concern, particularly for athletes, military people, and ordinary workers badly using inferior arts. Mineral displacement therapy to rescue the correct mineral balance in the osteoarticular districts can ameliorate heel pain.
Methods: The present study investigated if treatment with mineral salts in subjects suffering from ATHP can rescue their normal health and decrease pain. A cohort of 15 persons, aged 50-65 years equally sex distributed, suffering from chronic heel pain, underwent the administration of 5.0 mg copper sulfate and 200 mg disodium-hydrogen-orthophosphate (with 500 mg of ascorbate) dissolved separately in 100 ml of drinking water as a daily beverage, morning/evening one hour after meals for three weeks. In the study, pain perception was the main outcome measure.
Results: Mineral treatment improved ATHP with a different trend according to age and sex distribution. The scores of pain perception showed differential sensitivity among different genders. No one of the patients in the study experienced a relapse during the two years of follow-up.
Conclusions: The present study showed that the therapeutic supplementation with displaced minerals might address the concern of heel pain in males and females with encouraging results in the early elderly population. Placebo-controlled such trials involving large populations with monitoring of blood/hair mineral profiles are suggested and further recommended. Monitoring of quantitative mineral profiles in blood and hair should be considered during medications for any ill effects.
