From Jane Hogan (a CE provider)...
"Over and over, with every expert I speak to, I hear the same thing: the common thread in chronic conditions (including pain) is nervous system dysregulation."

A good thing to know, for those of you who have been diagnosed (or are currently being treated for, w/o a formal diagnoses) with a chronic condition: I can help you to have fewer symptoms and a reduction in pain, through the modalities that I practice daily!

Don't wait any longer if you are needing to improve -- I am working at Brodwyn Military Chiropractic on M/W from 1000-1800 and Saturdays 1630-1830. At the Spencer Cancer Center (where I would not be able to see you w/o being a patient there) on Tu/Th/F, and am available for home visits much of the other times of the week!

Please, don't keep waiting to start getting better!

(Partially from a site on disbyosis.)

Did you know the lymphatic system is involved in the absorption and transport of dietary fats and fat-soluble vitamins, such as vitamin A, D, E, and K?

Without the lymphatic system, the body would not be able to properly digest and absorb these essential nutrients.

This can lead to malnutrition and countless other health problems - including issues like IBS and SIBO/IMO!

Its effects are so far-reaching that I’d dare to say anyone with chronic illness should tune into this summit and see how the lymphatic system could be affecting their symptoms.

Did you further remember that I am licensed to provide relief from, and treat many disorders of the lymphatic system?! Please, don't wait in agony any longer! Call, e-mail or text me for home and your office appointments, or come into me at Brodwyn Military on M/W/Sat (M/W from 10-6, and Saturdays from 4:30-7P)!

Be sure to allow plenty of time, these sessions are typically longer in length, and be sure to drink plenty of water beforehand! (No alcohol nor drugs though.)

This is a quote from a book that I am studying (not a textbook, just an autobiography by a beautiful woman who decided to take her own life *saddened by her decision*) by Cheslie Kryst, that I am curious about your thoughts on, and for you to internalize as well -- it may help...

"...I thought back to the moments when I felt excluded, and I slowly began to realize that being the only one who looks like you is NOT a demonstration of why you DON'T belong -- it shows why you DO belong. My presence alone in spaces where other people don't look like me demonstrated MY WORTHINESS to be there." (emphasis my own)

Now I'm off to bless and make a difference in at least two more special individuals this afternoon! (Sorry, no more openings this week, but I do have a 3P on Monday open!)

Reading an article on Metainflamation (i.e.: chronic inflammation that persists far past when the original stimulus is almost resolved. Think of inflammatory diseases like Rheumatism, autoimmune disorders and allergies -- particularly to one's one person (like my own allergy to my own salvia) ) and according to the research presented, Manual Lymphatic Drainage is, "the top of the list of manual approaches that can directly and efficiently decrease chronic tissue inflammations."

Once again, I reach-out to those in my communities with these type of conditions to please start coming in for MLD! The Academy says that I am the only acols trained therapist in the area (the next closest being just south of Atlanta), though there are a few other PTs and an LMT in our region who was are trained elsewhere. Just please do yourself a favor and begin getting regular MLD treatments for your good! :)

Listening to a patient this week who confessed that they, after listening to doctors tell them the worse-case-scenario of their diagnoses, felt that they had, "no control over" their treatment nor "life" anymore; I felt that it is needed to be written out:

You DO have choices, and decisions that only YOU can make, and there is ALWAYS hope!

I have worked on more than a thousand patients with cancers and blood disorders or various types, throughout the years, and NO ONE knows exactly how long you may have. Listen to that another way... LIVE your life, don't give up, and follow God's love through all your days and you will truly live!

We are here to help -- meaning Foster Therapeutic, LLC; the Brodqyn Military Chiropractor's office (I'm there on M/F/Sa), the Spencer Cancer Center (lots of ways to help there! Besides the medical treatments, I am there on Tu/Th/F and Jessica is there on M/W), and Uli's European Hair Studio on Saturday mornings and early afternoons.

Please read this for more information and benefits for you through Manual Lymphatic Drainage. (I'm certified to practice the Vodder technique, which is thought to be the original method.)

Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is an Advanced Therapy in which the Practitioner uses a range of specialized and gentle rhythmic pumping techniques to move the lymph fluid in the direction of the lymph pathways. It is a technique based on gentle, rhyt...

Yesterday, while I was working at the Cancer Center, I was asked to help a middle-aged female with her shoulder-back pain. When I began palpating I found a couple of muscular knots and commensed to reducing or eliminating them.

When I had done so to two, she asked if I could "feel them?" I replied that I definitely could.

Apparently, her general practitioners had never "felt them" and didn't "believe that they exist(ed)." Yet they were her main cause of pain, and she had been, "told that (she) was crazy."

Please hear me: You are not crazy if you have neuromuscular pains that standard medicine cannot explain, because they do not do what they should, and palpate where you are feeling the pain (and corresponding locations -- trigger-points)! If you need relief, I may be able to help.

Please let me try, and I'll look forward to seeing you soon!

By the way, this patient expressed that they now felt that they could do their favorite activity that they had not been able to do for "three years." So, if playing some game called "pickleball" if your thing -- I must be able to help with that too!
