Hey bill, I've been doing the "roman chair" against the wall exercise where you sit with your back against the wall. I do them every other day. Breathing in and then out along with the side to side moves. I'm able to run about 75 yards now with no ill after effects and I haven't worn an ace bandage for several months! As I move and walk my knees are less and less on my mind. These exercises are really working! I've added the sit back to your heels last week. I still can't make it all the way back but I’m pretty close already. Pretty quick progress on this. The steadying with the chairs really helped on this one. I hope to reach a point of running without hindrance and not notice my knees feeling strong and fluid. Thanks for your help and support bill. Best regards,

Nigel

May 20, 2009 Hey Bill, Question program quite unique...you are really good with the techno. Progress update on my knees: last Saturday I was providing music for the 12 hour relay for life event at Doss High School. It was outside at their 1/4 mile track where participants were walking laps in honor of their cancer victim/survivor loved ones. I decided to trot off and see just how far I could run around the track. You may recall that I've been doing your exercises and running on my meadow up to 150 yards or so. Surprisingly I made it all the way around the track and then did it 2 more times during the night! It seems that my run on the meadow was on a slight uphill grade and had really given me more strength and endurance than apparent. The next day there was no swelling! This is wonderful. My 3 year goal was to run a mile but it looks like this will happen sooner. Thanks and best regards,

Nigel

May 27, 2009 I am thankful to you!

June 26, 2009 Dear Bill, It is always so inspiring for me to read your brief recommendations or notes. I wrote some time ago to thank you but the fact that I am in South Africa, makes it impossible to tend any of your presentations. However, just by reading your notes, and to feel that there is someone out there that understands, makes it a little better. I injured my knee 3 years ago. Jan 2009 I eventually (!) had an operation - the meniscus looked like a sea anemone – completely torn. They cut all out apart from small piece on each side so that the bones do not touch each other. However, I still suffer severe swelling & pain. My left leg’s muscles now started deforming due to the excess load it has to carry. It is very painful. One just gets a little despondent if you battle for so long. I realize I need to be grateful that I at least have a leg to pain! I will be paying medical bill for the next 3 years & still cannot walk. I will have to obtain physiotherapy to help the left leg. And go back for medical attention to my knee. But your correspondence helps me to keep my emotions intact. Which– from time to time – is worse than the actual pain. Thank you again,

Nicolet Goosen, South Africa

July 26, 2009 Bill... Thank you very much for your good advice I am learning to know the Drill. R.I.C.E. What was so amazing to learn that the body requires a lot of water after injury to flush out the old damaged or injured cells to be replaced by the new ones. Thank you for your kind attention,

David

July 28, 2009 Well Bill, that’s a very interesting story not that I will be trying any ski slopes but hope it won’t be long before I am back into full swing still getting some pain but nothing like what it was. Good to hear from you again Bill. Thanks for your help once more.

August 6, 2009 to MR Bill Parravano Thank you for your prompt mail now I came to know about the benefits of water from today I will start drinking water as you have mentioned. Once again I thank you for your advice on my rheumatic arthritis problem with regards,

August 9, 2009 I hurt my left knee during a 5k race and wound up in the emergency room on race day. Bummer! At first I couldn't even put my toe on the ground without wincing in pain - it was affecting my whole leg and I was really discouraged. By the time I met Bill, I had already been on crutches for 3 weeks. I could put my foot on the ground, but I still couldn't stand with equal balance on my left leg - let alone walk on it and put weight on it. It hurt so much. Bill and I met at a 3-day seminar in Los Angeles and he told me that by the end of the event, I'd be walking without my crutches. I was kind of skeptical, but I was also desperate for relief because nothing else had worked for my knee pain, so I decided to rest into his expertise. Bill was right! Within just a few short adjustments over a couple of days, I was able to walk around my hotel room without my crutches and without excruciating pain. I was walking to the hotel restroom from the meeting room without my crutches too. It was awesome. Bill gave me back my active lifestyle and I'm so glad I met up with someone who knew so much about making knee pain go away. Now I can ride my bike painlessly, go shopping, enjoy walking around art festivals, and I'm getting back into jogging again too.

August 14, 2009 I am contemplating reading your book. My pain is moderate to minor now. Thank God! I have a problem with being patient and over-achieving. I do too much too soon. I am now re-teaching myself to be more patient and my knee heals better. I am up for 2-4 hrs doing my usual physical errands and I am down for 2-4 hrs a day icing and resting my legs. It seems to work. I am including in my workout/therapy your one suggested knee exercise of leaning against wall or tree in a sitting position and turning my knees side to side. I do this in a chair. Makes sense since I move around a lot at work. Thanks for your suggestion. Will wait to see how I progress.

August 19, 2009 Dear Mr. Bill, Thanks for your e-mails. I have purchased the book "Stop your Knee pain" few days ago and doing exercised regularly for beginners and drinking more water. Thanks for advising the book it is working. I am feeling better, my knee joint is getting flexible and feeling less pain now. By God's will in couple of week I may feel better and my knee pain will go for good hopefully. I don't have words to show my feelings of gratitude towards your advises by mail and book. Thanks again. God bless you Sincerely yours

August 20, 2009 Hi Bill, Keith McNab here, recently bought your e-book and am now working through the exercises. Very hopeful that they will help me. My knees already have greater flexibility after only a few days. I drive a couple of hours a day and I load up the car with water, with lemon wedges, to drink while I drive. Also on a new diet of fresh salads and grilled fish. I'm determined to be back on the dance floor very soon. Thanks for everything.

Keith

August 22, 2009 Dear Bill Thank you very much for such a positive food of thought, actually positive mind and body cognition can make a lot of difference so one should always be optimistic and ready for fighting problems and finding their solutions. Regards,

August 23, 2009 "Bill; the knee was fine this morning and I taught classes for 6 hours today. It was aching after that but a few hours later it felt fine again. I've been using your exercises for less than 2 weeks and the knee is already feeling stronger and is certainly more flexible. My confidence is returning and I definitely feel I'm moving in the right direction. What I absolutely cannot understand is how you seem to know better than physios and doctors who charge US$100 - $150 per consultation. Maybe they should be required to have a busted knee themselves before treating others, haha."

August 24, 2009 Thank you very much Bill, we all try to take a lot of water so that our body is clean and excretes all the waste that causes damages. My mother is feeling much better Thank GOD! Regards,
