Walter Brend Handmade Knives

In 2002 Walter was diagnose with rheumatoid arthritis in his hands. Walter’s pain was excruciating. Walter went to a specialist and he recommends Walter start taking medication. He would have his blood check every three months. The medication could effect the liver and Walter did not want to take it. Walter didn’t know what to do, because the pain and swelling was so bad that it was causing Walter to slow down making knives.

It was time again for the Blade show in Atlanta. While at the Atlanta show, Walter had minimal problems with his hands. The only explanation Walter could think of was the elevation.Walter returned back to the doctor and told him about the trip to Atlanta and how his problem was minimal. Walter asked the doctor if higher elevation could help. The doctor’s answer was no, that is just a fairy tale. Walter left the doctors office, never returned, and never took the medication. Walter went home told his wife they would have to move, if he was to continue working.

That very same week. Richie Davis called Walter. Richie had bought knives from Walter a long time, and they talked often. Walter told Richie he was going to move somewhere, where the elevation was higher than Walterboro. Richie suggested that Walter should come to Cullman Ala. where he lived. That Cullman had a high elevation. Walter and Kay spent a week in Cullman and Walter new he had to move. He had less pain and swelling. They went back to Walterboro, told their children they had to move. They put their home up for sale and moved the Cullman Co. Ala.

With all the  problems Walter had, it slowed him down making knives. Walter’s orders was backed 5 to 6 years .With such a long wait some customers just didn’t want to wait.

One Thanksgiving Walter and Kay visited their children and grandchildren in Walterboro S.C.. About 30 miles from Walterboro Walters hands started swelling and was very painful. Walter told his children, he would not return after this trip.

In 2007 Walter went to an alternative doctor in Huntsville Ala.Walter explain his problem to Dr. Gillman. The doctor told Walter he did not believe he had arthritis. Dr. Gillman said the blood work would show if he had arthritis. Walter’s blood work came back negative for arthritis. Dr. Gillman explained to Walter, the well water that Walter dranked while living in Walterboro was unfiltered. Heavy metals and toxins filter thru Walter’s hands and this caused the swelling and pain.. Dr. Gillman recommended chelation treatments. Walter had the chelation treatments and Walter’s hands are fine. Walter started working full force again. In fact Dr. Gillman said other than Walter’s hands, his health was that of a 35 year old, and what was his secret.  Visit Walters my space
