"Zap" Internal Parasites?

A few months ago, I was overworking myself and began not feeling so well, so I went to my local Alternative Doc to have him check me out. In the process, I noticed a peculiar looking area in his office and asked what it was. I was told it was a parasite "zapper".

Hmmmm, I thought, I have done this type of thing before. A friend of a friend had one - you hold 2 metal rods (one in each hand) and sit for 20 min., but this looked more involved to me, so I requested a treatment.

I laid down on the massage bed, covered with a sheet on top that looked like something you would use to roast a turkey. Then the 2 rods were placed (one in each hand) and were covered up by towels, so as not to touch the metallic sheeting. On top of me, was placed another "turkey roaster" sheet. And I was instructed to lay there for 20 min. after the machine was turned on. Very sci-fi :)

Immediately I felt a lot of "activity" in my head and face (I had been feeling like I had "fog on the brain", kind of a cloudy feeling, or fuzzy and had found myself squinting a lot for no apparent reason accept to think - LOL.

I felt some activity throughout my body as well, but the head and face were extremely prominent. As the time ticked down, I noticed less and less "activity" and more and more, that my mind was clearing up. When I was finished, I felt GREAT!

Like I said, I have done this type of thing before, but in NO WAY did I have this type of response before. So "A:", maybe I did not have parasites before, or "B:" the machine I used in the past was not doing the trick. I like to think I am in better shape now than in the past when I had the treatment, which makes me consider "B" as a possible reason, but I guess you never know.

2 weeks later I asked to be "zapped" again to compare results. Same procedure, but nothing, no feelings, etc., of course my mind was clearer and I was not having any cloudiness at the time.

I was so impressed, I got the machine for the patients in my office.

Parasites are a huge problem, not easy to eradicate, and can take over the body if the environments is right or the body is run down. With the way most people eat, they leave their body open to parasite invasion with poor intestinal flora and no immune system to fight back. This is a simple way to give the body a fighting chance.

I love it, easy simple and effective. Whenever someone says that have a "fuzzy headed" feeling, now, I immediately consider parasites first.

From what I understand, this system is similar to the systems that worm farmers have been using for years to bring worms to the surface of the soil to harvest, only this uses a slightly different frequency to kill the parasites in the human body.

Keep in mind, from what I have read on blogs and forums, that not all "zappers" are created equal either. I happen to concur, simply from my own experience, I trust the zapper I used and purchased. Which is perfect for me, since I am implementing a "raw food diet" to clean up the intestinal tract and improve that environment, so parasites will not be able to propagate any longer.

With the Zapper and the new diet, I plan to be parasite free!

Zap Away!!!!

Can you regrow a chipped tooth?

Very interesting question. About 15 years ago, I chipped one of my front teeth, the chip was located at the back part of the tooth, which started coming off but was still held together, like a hinge, with an overlap of the tooth below it. Not easy to describe, but basically it was still attached at the bottom "hinge".

I was not in an area to have it fix anytime soon, so I superglued it to the front section and held it together until it set in an effort to save the tooth until I could get to a dentist. When I arrived at the dentist, he said that apparently it was holding and I never gave it another thought until last Fri. when the chip came off in my mouth (no longer attached by the hinge effect).

I tried to get an appointment with a local dentist, but on Fri, it was impossible, so I opted to call on Monday. Yesterday I found a few posts online that talked about regrowing teeth, so I started to think about it, since I am a little worried the dentist will want to grind it down and put a cap on it. One guy basically said, he had chipped his teeth over the years and never thought to go to the dentist because they always grow back. And there are stories that Monks grow their teeth back.

I also find that there is a process being developed that will hit the market in a year or two for growing teeth using ultrasound. Now, I am no Monk, but I am interested in regrowing my tooth rather than destroying what is left, since it is not cosmetically visible (the back part of the lower front tooth) So I am going to give it a try and see what happens. I will keep you posted.

Please leave any info or comments, I am going to need some support, there is the big question as to how long it might take also! Wish me luck.

Allergy and Elimination Techniques

It seems that everyone has allergies today, right down to small children. You could go the route of having the skin testing done, which is basically one way to go, or you could work with someone that tests using specialized Applied Kinesiology or commonly called Muscle Testing (which really is not testing muscle strength but the interrupters to muscle strength) and Allergy Elimination Techniques. Painless and clinically accurate. 

You may have been exposed to Specialized Applied Kinesiology through your local Chiropractor or Acupuncturist. In the testing you would hold your arm out perpendicular to your body and the therapist would ask you to resist when they put pressure on your arm. If you can easily resist without engaging other muscles to hold it in place or not, is an indicator for the therapist.

We use a series of testing like this to find what is disrupting the body and then we find things to desensitize the body to these disruptors, along with nutrition to help the body heal from the disruption, your body can eliminate almost anything, not just allergies, but body pain, headaches, emotional scars or interruptors etc.

Painless and effective,

IBS: spring has sprung!

Suddenly I have several patients coming to me with Irritable Bowel Syndrome or IBS

What I have found is that there is a HUGH need for pro and prebiotics, so I thought a little info might help people understand it a bit better.....

The probiotic is the good bacteria or flora for the intestines (we call the "gut") of which we have naturally, but which is destroyed by antibiotics and sometimes fever etc. so you need to reestablish the good bacteria/flora in that case. If you have IBS, generally, your bowel lining can be inflammed and not functioning properly, it does not have the flora it needs to fight off bad bacteria or handle what is going through it.

The probiotic/flora needs to be fed to proliferate or grow and maintain itself in the gut.
You feed your friendly bacteria/flora with prebiotic foods. Without the prebiotic foods, the probiotic flora/friendly/good bacteria loses it's battle to the bad bacteria and you need to start over. You need to feed/cultivate the flora/good bacteria

Optimally, it is better to feed the probiotic flora with prebiotic foods, rather than taking a probiotic forever, because you cannot take enough to have enough to fight. You need to grow good probiotic by eating prebiotic foods, so the probiotic/good bacteria/flora can grow up big and strong and have babies to fight the bad bacteria. :)

So actually you need to reestablish a good stock of probiotic flora (meaning that you need a lot of strains or types of probiotic, because it takes all kinds to fight the bad bacteria) which is why you want to take different types of probiotics available. Then you need to just eat the prebiotic foods fairly regularly, which are fermented foods. Some Asian people eat a tablespoon of Kim Chee every day. It is fermented cabbage (spicy). Some people drink buttermilk, kefir,  on occasion (dairy and not the best) or sauerkraut, miso, tempeh, these are all fermented foods (alternating would be good). Yogurt is easily available and popular, but has only one strain generally of bacteria and also it is a dairy or soy product with hormones etc. If you can, ask your mother if when she was a kid, they ate some type of thing like that or if she remembers what her mother might have eaten that would act like a prebiotic food.

A fairly new product lately I have found in the local grocery is called "Good Belly" and it is fruit based but may be too sweet for some people.

Looking back a few generations we can see that the most recent generations have lost the eating habit link to these foods but every culture I have ever heard about eats or used to eat prebiotic and they are all much healthier than us on the American diet for doing so. 

Also consider that we may not even really know all the strains, the body is complex, who knows, maybe the different strains combine (marry) and create other bonds or types of bacteria (mixed strain babies). Like a little micro world inside your intestines, keeping us healthy.

Chronic IBS is inflammation of the bowel, inflammation causes the cells to be irritated and can lead to many other things, eventually other diseases, like if you rubbed your elbow, over and over, the skin would get sore, then break and bleed, and eventually distorted if you kept rubbing even after it was starting to heal, it would form a scar...scars are a misarrangement of cells that interfere with the natural flow of energy and they are less flexible etc. It is best to address the issue for a healthy immune system down the road rather than just live with it. 

There may be other things involved as well and good nutrition is a must also but without good bacteria, it may be difficult to win the battle. Good intestinal health is the basis to good health and immune. The intestines are our elimination system, without a good elimination system, everything gets backed up, stuck and misplace which can cause havoc to the body, like clogged pipes in a house, you don't want that stuff to overflow or back up!

I am fortunate and personally have not had issues with IBS but a few times a year, I take a round of  Dr. Ohhira's probiotics professional formula (which I discovered some time ago) and have found it to be most effective for probiotic. Then I eat a little Kim Chee now and then when I have the urge. But also, I like to eat organic dark leafy green salads on a pretty regular basis, which is a good way to feed your body and your intestines!

Happy Eating...get healthy and STAY HEALTHY

Quick Hip Trick

Perhaps you are taking my "What’s in my Walk? Unlocking your pain…" (walking course) or have been to my "HowToStopKneeAnkleBackPain" webpage, either way...here is a quick trick to realign your hips and release your pain.

If you are able to ride a bike, you are able to take advantage of this trick. (however please read disclaimer below)

Remember when you were a kid and you would take off on your bike, without sitting on the seat, to get the bike going faster or create momentum to go up hill? Perhaps those with multiple speed bicyclists have never experienced this process but the old style, fat seat bicyclists know what I am talking about.

That is what you need to do, if you are riding a multiple speed bike, set the speed to a higher resistance so as not to hurt yourself by slipping.

Start out on your bike however you normally do, then when you have the chance to lift off the seat and pedal standing up (use caution and see disclaimer), instead of rocking your hips from side to side as some do in this position, keep your hips more stable/level and only use the muscle of your legs, be sure to have your feet pointing forward on the petals with your weight centered on the ball of your foot between your Great Toe/big toe and your 2nd toe (or the one next to the big toe).

This actually realigns the leg muscles. It incorporates a type of contract/relax technique that some massage therapist/physical therapist use to restructure muscle function.

Commonly the hips are out of alignment because of the leg muscles being unbalanced. The outside of the leg is hypertonic/too tight and the inner leg is hypotonic/weak, which can be from walking improperly, injury or other issues. Also if your stomach and back muscles are weak or imbalanced, this could also be a cause of hip misalignment.

Disclaimer: this is mainly for minor hip alignment and not recommended for anyone with injuries, knee, ankle, back issues, also if you have not ridden a bike for some time or are not comfortable, please, use your common sense, this may not be the method for you. At the very least, take your time and ease into it, start with a stationary bike in the gym, or don't stand up, just rely on your leg muscle, keeping your hips more stable or level and feet as described above. And most of all, consult your physician before any exercise. I highly suggest you read and follow the above walking course before you try this bicycle method. Also, if you do not understand the above directions, please do not try this method. (You would definitely need a bike that is correct for your size to avoid any injury)

Take it easy and have fun!

Plantar Fasciitis: What has Ice got to do with it?

I had a patient that was diagnosed with Plantar Fasciitis.

Her doctor had her wearing a restrictive device at night and told her to stay off her feet to recover, which of course for her, was impossible but actually, that is exactly what is needed to repair.

First, I will explain a little about Plantar Fasciitis, so you will understand why, and then
I will give you another option to consider that helped my patient recover...

Fasci"itis" is inflammed Fascia:

Fascia is the connective tissue that for illustration purposes, connects the bone to the tendon, to the muscle, to the skin.

Imagine fascia as the matrix of the body. I liken it to a sponge. When the fascia or the matrix "sponge" is dry, it is unflexible, in fact if you try to bend a dry sponge, it will crack and that is what is happening to your fascia, it is cracking or being injured and becoming inflammed, every time you walk. Why? It can be for several reason...

First, the bone in your foot could have had an external injury, or your fascia could be dry or compressed/restricted and deprived of body fluid to nourish it or keep it flexible (perhaps from improper walking or restricted movement) but more commonly your calf muscle could be tight and pulling on the tendon that connects the muscle to the fascial sheath around the bone.

Generally, I have found that people who love to walk, overdid it one day and now they have this issue.

A little background on bone: when bone is "pulled" as by the tendon pulling on the fascial sheath that covers the heel, or when rubbed together as in a 2 bones rubbing in joint, it actually begins to create more bone, usually this bone substance is not beautiful, it is a little disorganized and can be sharp or pointy depending on the pulling.

This pointy bone then irritates the sheath that encapsulates the heel bone and creates tearing which creates inflammation and it becomes a viscious cycle.

Considering that you now have this plantar fasciitis, (whether or not you are to the stage of having the bony build-up) and that most people are like my patient and cannot simply stay off of their feet, I will offer to you, what I offered to my patient, that eventually corrected her fasciitis:

Ice your calf muscle as often as possible.

When I say ice, this is the most beneficial process...
Ice your muscle until it is numb: first it will feel really cold, then it will burn and feel tingly or hurt/ache, after that stage, you will not feel it, that is numb. Now take the ice off, if you do not take the ice off that will create a loop of inflammation again, so pay attention, it may only take 5 or 10 minutes, but don't go by the time, go by the numbness that occurs after the burning/ache/tingly period.

Now allow the area to warm up, you could massage the calf a little to get the blood to flow in the area again, or wait about 15-20 min and do the icing again if you have time. The way I see it, if you can ice it once a day, that is better than nothing but ideally 3 times in a row, allowing it to warm up in-between is a good starter.

Now, what does that do?????? It releases any contraction in your calf muscle and puts less pulling on the tendon, which then puts less pulling on the sheath around the bone, which stops pulling on the bone and so the bone stops growing more pointing bone "spurs".

But what about the bone that is there??? Actually an age old recipe of rubbing a good castor oil on the area of the heel that is sore and keeping the area warm is what I have found to break up bony deposits. Don't ask me why this works but it seems to do the trick. But before you use castor oil, you might want to talk to your physician as it can also interfere with medication absorption on some level.

My patient, however only used the icing method and some nutritional information I gave her.

As for the dry fascia cause, consider rehydrating your body and rubbing the area around the fascia (not on top of any sore spot) to get blood flowing in the area.

When I say rehydrate, I mean getting some electrolytes or good purified water and an organic, food based mineral, but that is a whole other blog :)

Best of Luck!
