We have herbs here like Cat's Claw that you can boil and make painkillers out of, but he goes much deeper into it than that. Tony did a lot of smoke and mirrors stuff- No, I mean LITERALLY smoke and mirrors- he started making some stuff that smoked when he put it on. It felt like Icy Hot. I was unimpressed, still thinking this guy was a flake. Then he rubbed my knee and he separated out the tendon and was pinching the tendon through the skin and said, "There's nothing wrong with your tendon- this is it here." I started to take notice. He was right. Then he said, move your knee, and I did, and he said, "Your knee is just out of place." He asked me to relax and started wiggling my leg. I'm sure you know what is coming, and I wish I had at the time- he suddenly jerked my leg, and "SNAP!!!" my knee popped back into place. He told me to get up and walk. Now, folks- I had walked in on crutches with a knee brace on- I walked out on my own with no pain.
Maybe I will visit Tony again! By the way, Tony has a jar on a table, and you pay him whatever you feel is fair. Pretty cool.
Another great story! Malcolm, you gotta write all of these down in a book.
