i severely sprained both the medial and lateral connective tissues of my right knee.
that was two weeks ago.
since then; i’ve finished on the AG Podium in a 10k Classic nordic ski race, rode my road bicycle for 120 kilometers, nordic skied for 60 kilometers, and
alpine skied twice. not bad for a severely sprained knee at nearly age 50, eh? when i use the term Regenerative Whole Food Herbal Nutrition to describe SUNRIDER™ Herbs and that the MAP Amino Acids are ‘invaluable to anyone’…

Dear Mr. Ilg,
First I must say I have long respected your astonishing intellect about wholistic training and noble sport performance done for spiritual reasons. Your books have inspired me and my family, I want to make sure you know that. Thank you.
