I am sorry I have not replied to this it must have slipped through the cracks somehow. You cannot buy inflammatone from a whole food you need to get it from a doctor. If you can’t find it I can mail it to you myself. What you can get from whole foods is boswellia or ginger they help with inflammation and pain but there is a combination of all these things in Inflammatone, so it makes it easier to not have to take a lot of pills and will be cheaper. If the supports bother your feet you may not want to where them, or take them out and walk around for a while without them.

@Joan Sullivan,
I am glad the article helped you out. As for the inflammatone it is an all natural product however you can not buy it from whole foods. If you would like you can call the office and we can send it to you, or I can find a doctor in your area that may carry it. If not I can recommend some other herbs that you can buy from whole foods, however it becomes more expensive to buy them individually.

Thank you, thank you. I think your article on plantar fasciitis is going to
help me. I’ve had it for 9 months. Put up with it painfully for almost 3 months then in January MD gave me shot of corticosteroid. Instant relief, but came back in April. Have now had 3 sonorgram treatments from chiropractor
with leg,foot & low back adjustments & doing exercises taught. However,I have been told to do stretching exercises from the beginning and now walking, too.
This causes extreme pain later in the day off when I thought I was healing. Common sense kept telling me to do what you say in “PRICE” steps. So I’m going to do the ice thing, and stay off my feet. I have been very active on my feet all my life, but since Oct 08 it’s been almost constant pain wearing me down.
I’m a herbal health nut…can I get Inflammatone from a health food store,
like Whole Foods? Thank you for verifying my instinct to stay off as much as
possible and elevation. I also had purchased custom arch supports from Foot
Solutions, but they, too, hurt if worn too long.
