My 68 year old husband has had a serious accident and broken his ribs, the doctor said between 5 and 10 as some were broken in 2 places. What foods or supplements aid healing?
Hi Eleanore,
I took calcium, magnesium, zinc and vitamin c when I had a fractured spine. I also (very gently) rubbed comfry oil on. Comfry is an old remedy with its common name of "knit bone" a friend recommended it to me.
Hope this helps,
Beverley
Thanks, will try that, I've heard of knit bone before, but forgotten about it.
Hope it helps him. I bruised two ribs last year and that was painful so can only imagine how he feels pain wise.

Ive been to the chemist and they're getting thr supplements in and checking the dont clash eith hid medication. Hopefully he's coming home tomorrow
Hi Eleanor,
That sounds really good re the chemists. I hope he recovers well and you can both get back to normal soon. ribs are a difficult one as they don't plaster now but, they repair in time.
I hope you have family /friends that can help out a little until he's well again. Taking care of people can tire us out and with the best will in the world, we need support too. Be good to you too.
Best wishes
Beverley
Look into Bromelain, Cissus and collagen. Lot of research on them on the web. Look into whether they fit your aims.
