 LaBelle of the ball: Legendary  
 gospel singer Patti La- 
 Belle kicked off Bric Celebrate  
 Brooklyn! at the Prospect  
 Park Bandshell on June 4. Locals  
 waited  in  massive  lines

 the fi rst in the series of summer  
 concerts hosted by the organization, 
  and was attended  
 by a number of high-profi le

 Brad Lander and Laurie

 The Brooklyn Way: Rapper  
 Biggie Smalls was honored  
 on  June  10 with  the  conaming  
 of St. James Place  
 as  “Christopher  ‘Notorious

 which now bears his name. A

 Renter rights:  Brooklyn  
 renters celebrated a landmark

 tenants. Political leaders  
 of both the state’s legislative

 across  the  state.  Housing  
 advocates — spearheaded  
 by state Sen. Julia Salazar —  
 began pushing lawmakers to  
 pass nine “universal rent control” 
  measures following the

 Downtown Brooklyn dive bar

 the food hall where the watering

 kicked them out in favor of  
 more well-known brands.

 This One Thing Can Lead You To Freedom From Knee  
 Pain and Save You From A Knee Replacement…  
 You feel frustrated and sick and tired of feeling like  
 you are in your 90’s when you are trying to enjoy your  
 early retirement. Now you’re walking down the stairs  
 sideways step-by-step like a baby afraid your knee will  
 buckle. Popping Solgar No.7 vitamins and Glucosamine  
 pills for breakfast, has you feeling frustrated, because  
 the gel shots, the braces and the icy hot and Physical  
 Therapy is making things worse. The pain is so bad that  
 the sleeping is getting harder. 9 haunting words from the  
 knee specialist you saw echo in your head “Maybe you  
 should consider the knee replacement surgery soon…” 
 WAIT! DON’T GIVE UP… NEVER  
 GIVE UP HERE’S WHY… 
 I agree with you and it’s not your fault that the old  
 fashioned way of treating knee arthritis with the same  
 old rooster shots (hyaluronic acid injection) FAILED  
 YOU – just a short term bandaid! Yes, even if they  
 tell you they use ultrasound guided and fluoroscopic  
 precision xrays to put the injection in the exact place  
 where the bone is touching bone, it’s still the same old  
 placebo potion delivered in a fancier way. Ok…it helps  
 for some, but for you it was a waste of time… am I right? 
 YOUR KNEE ARTHRITIS IS  
 COMPARED TO A “TOOTH DECAY  
 CAVITY” YET THAT’S NOT THE  
 TRUTH… 
 I want to ask you a really BIG question…ok? Do you  
 really think that there is science backing the theory of  
 gel shots? Your answer was “I dunno”! The only thing  
 that is backing those shots, is science that Medicare  
 pays some money for the doctor’s appointment to  
 examine you! Those shots cost $500 to you! These  
 shots are as guaranteed as hitting the lottery!  
 VITAMINS DON’T WORK AND  
 HERE’S WHY… 
 Do you really think that glucosamine will reach your  
 joint? Honestly, you are swallowing a water pill and  
 you need to know that there is a huge placebo effect.  
 OK THIS IS A PROMISE OF A REAL  
 SCIENTIFIC SOLUTION NOT A  
 WATER PILL… 
 I agree with you that the Traditional Physical Therapy  
 DID NOT WORK! Actually it worsened your condition  
 especially when you were told to ride the bike, right?  
 SO WHAT! COME ON I AM A DOCTOR OF PHYSICAL  
 THERAPY AND I AM TELLING YOU THAT TRADITIONAL  
 THERAPY JUST WON’T WORK! I DO KNOW WHAT  
 WORKS. 
 ACTUALLY 387 REAL PATIENTS WITHIN THE LAST 5  
 YEARS HAVE CALLED ME PERSONALLY TO CONSULT ME  
 FOR A SECOND OPINION TO HAVING KNEE SURGERY  
 BECAUSE MY PROPRIETARY SYSTEM GETS RESULTS … 
 NO THIS IS NOT STEM CELLS! 
 Stem cells cost $5,000 and get zero results, because  
 there is zero proof that they work. Don’t do it! NO NOT  
 PRP SHOTS! Taking blood and spinning it in a centrifuge  
 	
	
		 
 these $1,000 injections can heal your arthritis. PRP  
 works for other issues just not arthritis. I know because  
 I spent the last 3 years being mentored by the top Sports  
 Medicine PRP and STEM CELL experts in the country  
 and I saw with my own eyes what works and here it is…  
 READ THE NEXT FEW LINES BELOW.  
 WHAT IS KNEE DEROTATION AND  
 REALIGNMENT TECHNOLOGY? 
 Forget what you just read! Let’s focus on the next few  
 lines below… 
 Your hip is like the axle of a car, your knee a shock  
 absorber and your foot the tires… make a mental image,  
 close your eyes so you can picture it now. 
 Can you drive a car with a flat tire? Yes, sure you can,  
 but you know after sometime what will happen is the  
 shock from the street will destroy the shock absorbers  
 between the axle and the tire, as the car rolls over the  
 pot holes… Can you drive a car with a misaligned axle?  
 Sure you can but after sometime the car starts to pull in  
 one direction and the shock absorber begins to wear out.  
 THAT’S YOUR KNEE! IT’S A SHOCK  
 ABSORBER! 
 KNEE DEROTATION AND REALIGNMENT TECHNOLOGY  
 uses a non-radiation-based laser scanner that instantly  
 analyzes your hip, knee and ankle alignment looking  
 for the exact misalignment angle. Traditional xrays  
 look only at the knee joint and don’t take the hip and  
 ankle into account causing Doctors to misjudge what is  
 really the true cause of the bone-on-bone in your knee.  
 Whether it’s your hip, or your foot and ankle, our scanner  
 shows us the exact measurements telling us how to  
 derotate your hip—based on kinesiology (the science  
 of muscles, bones and nerves). A few centimeters of  
 derotation will decompress and realign your hip, turning  
 on a critical small muscle deep in the buttock called the  
 short rotator. We do this while we gently pull your hip  
 with a decompression pulley device. Simply put, we  
 activate your weak unused hip muscle.  
 Arthritis  Research  and  Therapy  18  Article  255  
 Functional electrical stimulation of gluteus medius have  
 shown that once the muscle is turned on the hip levels  
 out and unpinches the inside of the knee during walking.  
 Unicompartmental arthritis is what doctors call the pain  
 on the inner part of your knee and worn out meniscus.  
 This is exactly what we attempt to decompress using  
 this derotation method. During the derotation, we use  
 a tool called deep muscle stimulator to break up the  
 scar tissue in the inner knee while the hip is stretched  
 and derotated. And let me tell you it works and it lasts.
