Pain Chest Wall

Pain Chest WallWhat is the source of the complaint?Chest wall with muscleWe do not have full insight into the cause of these problems, but it is understood that the following explanation is likely: The condition usually caused by muscle tension and breathing failure. Infants breathe with the stomach, i.e. the diaphragm moves up and down so that the stomach bulges out during the inhalation and exhalation of return. By this technique, which is the proper breathing technique, keep your chest completely still when we breathe. Many older people can no longer breathe in this way, and raise your chest and shoulders when breathing should be included....

Owning Your Illness

We do much better when we own what is ours.If an illness were not ours, it would not be presenting itself to us.That's why relying on insurance coverage can turn out to be a double-edged sword. I have a family member who is a doctor for an insurance company and boasts how he manages people's health care/treatments. Mind you he has never talked to much less ever seen the patients he manages.So many people will do everything they can to disown their dis-ease figuring they can get a doctor to prescribe a purple pill and everything will be okay -- that the illness will disappear and they won't have to deal with it. But dis-ease presents itself because there is something that needs to be dealt with and what needs to be dealt with are patterns of behavior.I will give you just one example of a woman...

Sleep Enough To Prevent Weight Gain!

People become overweight or obese because of many reasons. For instance, they might eat too much foods rich in saturated fats or they consume more calories than their bodies require. Most importantly, they do not have enough physical activities.Once a person becomes overweight or obese, he or she is at a higher risk of developing hypertension (high blood pressure), heart disease, stroke and Type-2 diabetes.As revealed by previous studies, lack of sleep can also lead to weight gain. Inadequate sleep could raise the hormone ghrelin that signals when to eat, and reduce hormone leptin that tells to stop eating. People who do not have enough sleep have less leptin and more ghrelin. Such imbalance of hormones can drive people to keep on eating.On June 13, 2011, researchers from Harvard Medical School...

More on Korean Hand Therapy

Although 9 times out of 10, a simple pellet placed on the hand is enough to dissipate pain anywhere on the body, but there are times when the pain does not disappear instantly. A case in point is my husband who after a stressful several weeks developed the posture of a question mark. After too many moans and groans, I ordered him to sit back in his recliner and let me treat his hand, the remote control for the body. After applying pellets down the center of the back of his hand, he said about 20 percent of the pain was gone but by the time he woke up the next morning, he was walking straight and with a bounce. No needles were required and no visits to the chiropractor. That was a month ago and he's still walking straig...

How Can Mothers’ Work Status Be Linked To Childhood Obesity?

Childhood obesity epidemic has long been a headache for most countries around the world. Obese children are likely to be fat as they become adults and they are therefore facing a higher risk of developing Type-2 diabetes, hypertension (high blood pressure), stroke and heart disease.Many factors can lead to childhood obesity, and one of them is mothers’ work status.

Biophoton Therapy: I had Five Sessions

A few of you have written to ask if I went to Canada for biophoton sessions on the Chiren machine. Well, no, I didn't get up there but I did have five done down this way. A number of my patients were pleased with the results -- one man who has had fatigue for years said he got a sustained energy boost of about 20 percent, another woman experienced relief of tailbone pain and yet others felt they received a deep emotional healing.I was able to come to terms with some emotional patterns that have kept me stuck for years which resulted in my letting go of friends that were not healthy for me to be around. For that I'm grateful. My husband and I both experienced days if not weeks of detox and deep fatigue. Another woman said that for one week she was on wipe out but felt no tangible benefit.My...

Personalized Cancer Treatment

These treatments are highly effective in their specificity of action: they act, in effect, on cells that have precise molecular characteristics associated with their malignant nature. Therefore, these new drugs are only effective in patients whose tumor carries specific abnormalities....

More Pregnant Women Are Having Strokes!

It is unlikely that women would have stroke during pregnancy or shortly after giving birth. However, researchers from Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Division for Heart Disease and Stroke Prevention in Atlanta, Georgia have spotted a big jump in such events over the past 12 years.The findings, which were published on July 28, 2011 in ‘Stroke’ (Journal of the American Heart Association), showed that there was a total of 4,085 pregnancy related stroke hospitalizations in the United States during the period between 1994 and 1995, and that number rose 54 percent to 6,293 between 2006 and 2007. The data used in the study came from a large national database of 5 to 8 million discharges from 1,000 hospitals.Some increase was expected, but the figures found in the findings indeed surprised...

Volunteering: It's Great Therapy

I recently spoke to Eva Crow, a medical intuitive (also the cousin of John of God, the famous Brazilian healer) about her practice. She mentioned that she insists with every client that they do at least one type of volunteer work.Some people may say that they'll wait until they retire to volunteer, when in reality, there are many ways we can volunteer our time in the here and now. Volunteering makes us feel good -- it's just what the soul wants and needs. To feel the connection we have with others is in itself healing.Volunteer work takes our minds off ourselves for a while and while we do that, it frees up our immune system so that it can do its work. Because as I've said in numerous other posts over the past six months, if we're stuck in worry mode, there's no way our cells can function...

Lyme Disease: The Real Scoop by Dr. Dietrich Klinghardt

Before people come to my clinic, I send them links to Dr. Klinghardt's research on Lyme and its co-infections. This acts as a filter for those who are looking for a magic-bullet approach. As Dr. Klinghardt mentions over and over in his seminars, electromagnetic smog is the main reason Lyme has proliferated so. Yet when I tell a patient that their TV should be taken out of their bedroom, they look at me like I just landed from Neptune.Feel free to check out this link with an open mind, and then if you are ready to do the deep work, call me at 410-384-9183. I work with a holistic physician who can order the correct tests and we collaborate together.http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2012/02/05/dr-dietrich-klinghardt-on-lyme-disease.aspx?e_cid=20120205_SNL_Ar...

What's the Best Frequency Machine? Is there a Best Machine?

After investigating just about every machine and modality out there, I've come to the conclusion that there is no one machine that does it all. Some of the most expensive machines out there don't have an automatic scanner thus relying on the knowledge of the practitioner. Some machines scan thousands of frequencies in a few minutes but cannot impart the frequencies to the person being tested. Some machines have a biophoton capability thus supposedly imparting light to the cells but have libraries that are way out of date.I have a number of electroacupuncture devices in my clinic and I like them all. The Zyto is a great machine -- it's quick and in a few minutes scans the hand meridians giving one information that the practitioner can use in treating the patient. The SCIO/QXCI is a fabulous...

Can Heart Attack Damage Be Repaired?

Heart attack is a common name for myocardial infarction (MI) or acute myocardial infarction (AMI). When a person has a heart attack, some heart cells will die because of interruption of blood supply to a part of his or her heart. If a heart attack victim is not dealt with immediately, he or she might end up with death. That is why it is the leading cause for death for men and women worldwide.Even if the victim is lucky enough to survive the heart attack, the damage to the heart muscle can never be repaired. He or she could have complications such as blood clots, heart failure, heart rupture, heart valve damage, irregular heartbeats and inflammation of the heart.Good news is that doctors might be able to help the human heart repair itself in the near future. Researchers the Institute of Child...
