My friend was running and heard a pop in his knee. Shortly after, there was tremendous pain and swelling. He also could not extend his leg fully, or bend it backwards past a certain degree. Nor, could he put his weight on it. An MRI revealed that his posterior cruciate ligament (which we were told is very rare) possibly has a complete tear and would need major surgery eventually. Do you have any suggestions for ways to naturally heal this ligament? He is still experiencing pain after 1 month and the pain medicine (Ibuprofen) is causing him to vomit.

Sometimes, unnatural practices require unnatural approaches to healing, i.e. surgery, physical therapy, etc. Herbs can only assist in the repair but should not expected to do what only surgery and/or other modalities may be other to do (to undo the damage from running). Herbal wise, the person should consume large amounts of MSM Sulfur (9 capsules per day, or 3 capsules 3 times per day), Dherbs.com Joint Aid (3 capsules 2 times per day), and Dherbs.com Enzymes (3 capsules 2 times per day).
