TenTigers,
Have you ever tried beef(cow) tendon? They have it at the Wonton Garden on Mott. It may help facillitate the process of healing.
WARNING: It takes some getting used to: it is slimey stuff and not at all tasty.

Ngau-Gun! I love it. Just had some yesterday with my Sifu and his family!
This goes by the law of similars-to nourish the tendons, eat tendon.
(-although I’ve been eating calve’s brains for years, and I’m still stupid.)
maybe I’ll start eating honor student’s brains-served with fava beans and a nice Chianti.

That’s correct - I’d fogotten about beef tendon. If you’re a fan of Vietnamese Pho (soup) the Tai Gan Pho gives you a lot of beef tendon and I’ve always thought it was delicioius. It’s been a while since I’ve been in the city but I think that there are still some Pho restaurants on near Center street.
If you’re eating Chinese food then sea cucumber is also supposed to facilitate tendon healing.
There are also some dietary prohibitions related to tendon healing, chief among which are shell fish and very cold drinks. I’d also cut down on sour foods while you injury is still in the acute phase.
Best,
Steve
