I'm not an advocate of using ice on chronic injuries (great to use the first 24 hours after the initial injury...ie.. ankle sprain, ACL tear, etc). Ice constricts the vessels and the tissues (tendons, fascia, muscle) when what is best for most injuries is consistent predictable movement and increased circulation.

It doesn't help muscles heal—and it might actually do damage.

Important information for my readers to consider !

How do you feel about aborted fetal cells being used in the foods you eat (as a flavoring agent)? Many of the foods you eat are likely on the list of companies and common foods you think are healthy.

Cheerios
Boca Burgers
Burger King burgers, chicken tenders etc
Bisquick
Hamburger Helper
Lunchables
Capri Sun
Coca-Cola, Diet Coke
Aquafina water
Mountain Dew
Gatorade
Gum
Hall's Cough Drops
as well as numerous vaccines include aborted fetal cells (diploid cells).
Just to name a few.....

How is this affecting people? It may take a decade before the consequences of ingesting human cells to change our health.

What are the routines you MUST do to maintain health?

SEVEN PILLARS OF HEALTH

Vegan diet...mostly (80-90% coming from) raw fruits and vegetables

Movement ....daily exercise appropriate for your constitution

Sleep .... Sleep is when the body heals. Get 8 hours or more!

Fresh Air....Open windows....exercise outside

Sunshine... Sun exposure on the skin is necessary...just make it appropriate for your tolerance...15-30 minutes a day goes a long way to improve health.

Emotional Poise... get a hold of your emotions and avoid extreme highs and lows (Correcting diet, exercise and sleep is important for good mental health)

Relationships... with God ....and with people.

This post is profound and speaks to the healing powers of the body.

This wound was caused by a compression sock recommended by the patient’s doctor to treat a weeping leg from poor circulation due to ongoing diabetes. The patient did not want to use the compression sock but wanted to be compliant to her doctor’s recommendation. Within 24 hours the patient developed a small open wound at the base of the 5th metatarsal. Within 5 days of typical western medical care the wound progressed to the size of a half dollar. A couple weeks later after following the medical procedures and medications , the patient ended up in the hospital for infection moving into the bone. After another month of hospitalization the wound did not improve and the patient sought other options.

I advised the patient to topically treat the wound with Manuka honey UMF 20 medical grade. This is nothing short of a miracle that the wound is finally starting to heal with daily application of honey and no other medical intervention. Patient is being seen regularly by her podiatrist specializing in wound care and he is beyond pleased with her progress. He was aware of the studies done on the uses of Manuka honey but had never had a patient choose to go this route. He is learning too and becoming a believer in the power of the body to heal with natural methods.

The first 3 pictures were the wound at its worst where the patient was facing infection in the bone with the possibility of amputation. The last picture is the wound 3 months after using Manuka honey. Still has a way to go but the patient and doctor are very pleased with the progress!

*** The Manuka honey used was Comvita UMF 20. We started with UMF 15 because of price (the stuff is very expensive) but decided it was an investment worth the extra price to get the highest grade available.

The body is an amazing organism!

I continue to get asked questions about dry needling!
Dry needling is another way of saying the practitioner (physical therapist, chiropractor, MD) does not have the 5-8years training in Eastern medicine education that a licensed Oriental Medical Doctor (OMD) or licensed acupuncturist (L.Ac) does. Click on the link below regarding safety of being needled by an OMD vs a person who does dry needling! Educate yourself!

https://www.acupuncturesafety.org/

1. Dry needling is acupuncture. 2. Dry needling is unsafe when performed by unqualified practitioners of acupuncture, such as physical therapists. 3. It is a violation of Federal law when an acupuncture needle is purchased, possessed, or used by unqualified practitioners of acupuncture, such as phys

Wake up! Veganism is not a "fringe" lifestyle to be mocked and ignored. A proper vegan diet abundant in fresh fruit and vegetables heals all chronic disease!

This 104 year old vegan surgeon is healthy, vibrant and a believable spokesperson for the benefits of giving up eating animal products.

The recent su***des of Kate Spade, Anthony Bourdain and Robin Williams sparked thought for me. How many su***des might be exacerbated by the very medications used to combat the problem....I went searching for clues in Robin Williams autopsy....what medications was he being treated with at the time of his death.

Robin Williams autopsy report states the medications taken and were anti depressant Mirtazapine. and Seraquel (anti-psychotic) in addition to a med for BPH, levodopa for parkinsons, and vitamin D.

From the medications manufacturer....SEROQUEL is not for treating psychosis in the elderly with dementia. 2. risk of suicidal thoughts or actions (antidepressant medicines, depression and other serious mental illnesses, and suicidal thoughts or actions). Seroquel can also cause paranoia which was also reported by William's wife "he reportedly experienced more paranoia in the last year". It does not say how long Williams had been on the medication Seraquel which can increase paranoia.

Robin Williams was diagnosed with Leweys Dementia and here this medication said not to be used with dementia and it has a risk of increasing suicidal thoughts and actions. Robin Williams was on 2 medications known to cause suicidal thoughts and tendencies at the time of his death
This is a really curious phenomenon to me personally knowing others who have either committed su***de or had a violent episode against others after being medicated for their "chemical imbalance". I wonder about some of these recent su***des and recent shooters.....were any of these young kids put on antidepressants prior to their actions?

There are so many factors involved in su***de that my intention is not to make it sound like I know the answers...cuz I don't...but I sincerely feel we need to consider factors like medications can't fix the problem of loneliness, social isolation, loss of purpose, unresolved childhood trauma, self medication etc.
