“We are moving again”: the testimonial of René and Monique
Testimonial received in October 2021.
Hello,
- I am 82 and my wife Monique is 76. We both suffer from osteoarthritis in the hands and legs.
- My wife was a hairdresser: her back and leg pain comes from the unstable posture her work required. For her hands and shoulders, it is the repetition of hairdressing movements.
- As for me, you cannot talk about excessive manual work: I was an engineer, used to office work. The wear is probably due to the years, DIY and gardening since I retired.
- For nearly 40 years, my wife and I have followed treatments: injections into the joints, painkillers or anti-inflammatories. All have a temporary effect.
- Personally, I received two very expensive treatments by injections of pig fetus cartilage, which are very hard to obtain today. Even when effective, they do not last.
- As for my wife, her back pain is permanent. She loves gardening but could no longer do it, which frustrated her enormously. After consultations and examinations with 3 specialists, the conclusions were identical: no surgery possible without risk of loss of movement, the only recourse being painkillers and anti-inflammatories (which cause her stomach pain).
- Our son advised us to take Silicium Organique Forté as well as the organic silicon gel. We take 3 doses a day, and the gel as a massage on the joints.
- After about ten days, the result surprised us: we regained better suppleness in the wrist and knees, and it lasts. My wife, who loves gardening, can do it again. We have now been taking it for 3 months.
- In the morning, on getting up, my movements were painful: it took a good hour before these difficulties disappeared. After 3 months of Silicium Organique Forté every morning, I notice that I no longer have these difficulties on waking. I was even surprised to be able to redo the cement joints of our 80 m² terrace, which I could not have done before.
- A friend of my wife's, aged 84, tried it in turn a month ago, and she wants to continue too.
- Here are photos of my wife cleaning her garden at 76. I took them to send to our son, I was so surprised and happy to see her gardening again after so many years without being able to.
A big thank you to our son and to Géomer for introducing us to this Silicium Organique Forté, which allows us to move again!
