    I seriously cannot believe this. My knees felt so bad I needed a brace on one and a cortisone shot on the other - and climbing stairs was horrible. I’ve only been walking backwards on the treadmill for 4 days and I can’t believe how much the pain has decreased! Seriously, I can’t believe it! I can’t even imagine a month from now. Thank you so much, guys!!

    When I was a kid I used to run backwards because it was fun. Now at 78 my knees deteriorated so bad I could barely walk with my walker and getting out of a chair was just pure will power. I was getting to the point where I was thinking about giving up. After much prayer I received this video. Immediately walking backwards was less painful than going forwards. So I kept it up. I would go somewhere and then come back going backwards. It didn't just help my pain - I had renewed hope that I would get better. I am still using a walker but I have lost 20 Pounds and have renewed hope that my other health issues will also get better. Thank you for this video.

    I have type 2 diabetes. I'm an old, skinny marital artist that has been dying for about 14 years (when I was diagnosed). Doctors give me drugs. My energy is gone, drugs make me feel worse.
    I found both of you and after a few weeks already feel better.
    If I fix myself, I am going to become a cheerleader for both of you.
    If I die, at least I felt better doing better.
    More to come.

    • @stevenebanks2853

      Type 2, you probably already know, is a lifestyle issue. Aside from eating better, slowly building up to occasionally doing at least 16 hour dry fasts will heal your body wonderfully. Even regular (ironically harder and less effective) water fasting is great at reversing type 2 diabetes.
      Check out Dr Mindy or even Dr Jason Fung. Both of them explain how to ease into fasting very slowly and the scientific health benefits. Dr Jason Fung in particular talks about how it reverses your issues.
      Good luck and be well regardless of what path you take. 🙂

    I had knee pain for 4 years in my 20s and every doctor I saw wanted to put me through surgery. I decided that I needed to rehab my self since no one could help me and I too started working on the back side of my legs. It literally took me 6 weeks of glute and hamstring concentrated exercises to eliminate my knee pain that I endured for 4 years. Makes me so thankful there are people like you out there trying to help by using natural remedies. Our bodies are so amazing it’s a shame some doctors are not educated it that.

    I don’t have a sled and with 4 dogs the yard is not a good option lol so I was dragging a huge bag of dog food from delivery at front porch through the house to the storage closet when I realized I found my sled replacement option. Now we have no carpet so I can’t speak to a carpeted floor but vinyl planking works phenomenal. I drug that bag 2 laps around through the kitchen dining room and living room twice and felt the burn. Pays to think outside the box. I have had knee issues for decades I’m 63 now. 3 years ago I had a scope with lateral release and 8 months later I had the same surgery on my right knee. I’ve been riding a bicycle outside or indoors depending on weather fairly regularly to help with fluid but honestly walking for exercise is terrible for my knees. I’m 4’10” 110lbs so weight is not an issue. I rarely take anything for pain so as to not have stomach issues so it’s just something I live with. It gets old hurting so I’m definitely going to get a routine going and give this an honest effort. Truly can’t say enough for the online community that shares a wealth of knowledge and experience…I learn and improve my life a little every day. Peace and happiness everyone.
