I have been pain free for four years now and enjoy playing soccer 2-3 times a week. I have full mobility also. By the dictionary definition of the word cure, yes I am cured. However, I didn't write this post for my benefit, has there been anyone else desperate enough to follow my advice? I'd love to hear your results. What I said may seem like a strange theory to you, but it's fact to me. Maybe one day science will prove that if you have a healthy diet and lifestyle, you will be healthy, but until then, you will just have to take what I said with a little bit of faith.
