Broken bone

[afroza]

Five days ago, I went hiking with my two kids, the youngest on my back in a carrier, and I slipped and fractured the fibula bone near the wrist. I heard it snap like a twig, when my foot bended sideways ( I instinctively tried not to fall on my back, where my son where sitting). I used flip flops (not the best shoes for hiking, but it was a spontaneous hike!) and the hillside was full of round shaped gravel. Bad combination. I have had a fracture once before in my life, 18 years ago, and it´s the same bone in the same place as this time. Can it bee that I didn´t heal properly that time (it was in my vegetarian days) and the bone was already weaker there then the rest? Or maybe I just used the same way of bending my right foot when I lost my balance, and thats why I fractured it in the same manner. I don´t think I have brittle bones in general.
It is healing remarkably quick, though. I started putting weight on it two days ago, and I am walking without crutches. I refused casting (is it called that in engl?), I want full blood circulation for optimal healing and I need to be able to move the foot as much as I can.
I just eat the same as usual but I drink more milk, I crave it at the moment. I love bonemarrow, but I can´t get organic meat here, in Goa where I am at the moment, and I dare not eat marrow full of toxins so I stay off it.
Does anybody have any input on what might be good food for me for healing this? I still have a bit of swelling and bruising around the ankle.

    One hour half a green banana, one hour a ball of raw white meat...and so on.

Can the banana/white meat be changed with another type of fruit/meat with the same effects?

 I keep on hearing from people in countries which don't yet have an organised organic-meat industry how it is impossible to find organic meats. IMO, though, one invariably finds that high-quality meats do indeed exist -  there are multiple small-time impoverished  farmers in every single country around the world who raise their animals on 100% grassfed diets(peasants in rural areas are the best) but who simply cannot afford to  convert to official organic status. One just has to do a lot of searching before one finds them. For example, when I first started in London, the only organic meat sources were in supermarkets or specialist organic butchers, which were all far too expensive and provided only little variety. After months of searching every possible market in London, I eventually found several, including the excellent London Farmers Markets, where I could get hold of some incredibly good food at rock-bottom prices.

Yes, what I meant was that I can´t be sure of which meat in the market is organic, since there is no such labeling here. If I ask the butcher who is selling the meat he will just look  When we are in the north I just buy it from the herdsmen or farmers directly and it´s all much easier. I have noticed here in Goa that they are very fond of injecting animals with all kind of shit. I was getting buffallo milk from one guy here and one morning when I came to get my milk the buffallos hadn´t returned from pasture to be milked because the day before the vet had been there to "give them all there shots", and they were scared to come home. In remote villages there is usually no problem with meats, but in the town markets (where I live at the moment) there is always the problem of knowing which animals have been kept indoor, grainfed and injected (because in the more crowded areas, thats how animals are kept) and which ones are freerange and healthy.
That´s why humans and animals should not live in big crowds in cities, ahh I long for april when we go back to Kashmir!
Thanks for the tip on white meat, that´s suppose to be good for building new tissue, AV says. I get lovely seafood here. I guess I can suffer through half an unripe banana too!

    I think any type of white meat works.  I'm not sure if there's another type of fruit that works.  There might be, or there might not be.

    You're welcome.  Get completely well soon!
