<br />
<span style="font-size: medium;"><i>"I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvelous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well." <span> </span></i><span>(Psalm 139:14) </span><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: medium;"><br />
I found the most <a href="http://www.rebuildyourback.com/" target="_blank">wonderful website</a> (not affiliate) yesterday evening which lays out the true cause, prevention and alleviation of back and neck pain.<br /></span>
<span style="font-size: medium;"><br />
I had an upcoming appointment with a chiropractic office that also offers massage therapy this coming Wednesday, however I have many reservations about going.<br /></span>
<span style="font-size: medium;"><br />
In a nutshell, I do not wish to be 'nuked' (x-rayed), 'yanked' (adjusted), nor really even have a stranger touching my skin and slathering it with 'oily' concoctions. <br /></span>
<span style="font-size: medium;"><br />
So, last night I did what any normal human would do and typed into my Google search, <i>'I don't want to go to the Chiropractor...'.</i><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: medium;"><br />
Very lucky for me, up pops a website called: <a href="http://www.rebuildyourback.com/" target="_blank">RebuildYourBack.com</a> - It is chock full of many very informative articles on the subject of back and neck care.<br /></span>
<span style="font-size: medium;"><br />
Some of the subjects covered are listed below. Please follow the link above or the titles themselves to read any of the articles that may interest you.<br /></span>
<span style="font-size: medium;"><br />
I actually read almost every single article on the site last night with only the exception of a couple left to go. The information is fascinating, concise, and very well-written.<br /></span>
<span style="font-size: medium;"><br />
The article that first caught my eye was entitled: <a href="http://www.rebuildyourback.com/chiropractic/need.php" target="_blank">Don't I Need a Chiropractor?</a> The information in this one article alone is 'life-saving', and at the very least 'back-saving'.<br /></span>
<span style="font-size: medium;"><br />
This very timely information, coupled with my own reservations about going to the chiropractor, have given me a new direction to go with my back care.<br /></span>
<span style="font-size: medium;"><br />
I will in all certainty be canceling my chiropractic appointment first thing Monday morning. The new direction I will take for my back care will be with an emphasis on, as the title of the website implies, <a href="http://www.rebuildyourback.com/" target="_blank"><u>Rebuilding My Back</u></a>! - slowly but surely.<br /></span>
<span style="font-size: medium;"><br />
I really cannot thank the proprietor of this website, Dean Moyer, enough. His articles have given me a new encouragement that I thought was lost, as well as a new positive direction for my ongoing health.<br /></span>
<span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: medium;"><i>"The ultimate solution for lower back and neck pain is to rebuild the
support structure of your spine. Anything less is settling for second
best." Dean Moyer</i><br /></span>

<br />
The whole idea of a natural approach to Glaucoma is to fix the root cause, which in most cases is the increased pressure in the eye. This is thought to be caused by problems with circulation in the body. A healthier lifestyle will eliminate other common causes of pressure like eye strain as well as eliminate many toxins and digestive problems.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none;"><span style="font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none;"><span style="font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none;">Dr.
Lorraine Day cites especially DEHYDRATION as being a major cause. You may
actually need MORE water: The body will hold onto water in unusual
places during dehydration (such as the eye) causing pressure to build
up. </span></span></span><br />
<br />
The list below is a compilation of several studies done on the causation and suggested cure in the treatment of Glaucoma. While there may be outside factors (i.e. injury, etc.) which can affect this condition, many of the factors for treatment and prevention are within our control. This is cause for A LOT of hope! Please read, and God bless you.<br />

<ul>
<li>Diabetes / Blood Sugar Imbalance</li>

YES!!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9DScc__8drSn1vEAWv_MpdmgEdX6aiuShvLY_0tUb0S-XZCbuBfjJwcsLKf_8aLdWxklaAFByefwuUoNtD4c7DrRX2F1KK41cKGnbFHnEueFCkD-deXarg1bf_nmV-0NOsEjNtStlp-QI/s1600/clarisonic.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9DScc__8drSn1vEAWv_MpdmgEdX6aiuShvLY_0tUb0S-XZCbuBfjJwcsLKf_8aLdWxklaAFByefwuUoNtD4c7DrRX2F1KK41cKGnbFHnEueFCkD-deXarg1bf_nmV-0NOsEjNtStlp-QI/s1600/clarisonic.jpg" /></a></div><div style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">There has been some debate as to whether the Clarisonic Skin Care Brush <b>exfoliates</b> the skin or not. Following are some quotes from the Clarisonic website, as well as from Dr. Robb Akridge and aestheticians Kathryn Bruno and Marc Edward.</span></div><div style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Dr. Robb Akridge, who helped to develop the Clarisonic, says that, "It gently flexes the skin to help release dirt and sebum from deep within the pores while <b><u>gently sweeping away dead skin cells</u></b>, environmental pollutants, and impurities from the skin's surface."</span></div><div style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b>'<u>Sweeping away dead skin cells</u>'</b> is the classic definition of <b>exfoliation</b>. We are not talking about anything harsh like a 'skin peel' but rather deep, gentle cleansing that can be used everyday: Cleaner, clearer, smoother skin - for a more <b>'polished</b> <b>look'</b>.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">The Clarisonic website itself states that, "The Clarisonic leaves your skin younger and <b><u>smoother</u></b> in no time - Fast, noticeable results." It does differ from micro-dermabrasion, though, in that it <b>exfoliates</b> <b>gently</b> rather than abrasively.</span><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></div><div style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Kathryn Bruno, a clinical esthetician, states that, "What the Clarisonic is doing is <b><u>exfoliating the skin</u></b>, deep cleaning the pores and helping with fine lines and wrinkles. It also takes care of dry patches..." (because it's <b><u>exfoliating</u></b> the dry skin!). </span></div><div style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">According to medical esthetician, Marc Edward, "Women who use the Clarisonic find that their makeup will go on better due to the fact that <u><b>you're removing many dead skin cells with the machine</b></u>."</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">The Clarisonic Skin Cleansing Brush, whether you choose the Mia, Classic, Plus or Pro, sounds like the perfect way to <b>'exfoliate'</b> your way to cleaner, clearer, younger-looking skin. </span></div><span style="font-size: large;"><br />

Potassium Iodide Supplements alone may not be enough to protect us from all of the radiation that is getting into the environment from the Japanese nuclear disaster.<br />
<br />
However, there is a supplement called <a href="http://www.iherb.com/Trace-Minerals-Research-ConcenTrace-Trace-Mineral-Drops-8-fl-oz-237-ml/22265?at=LEC572">ConcenTrace Mineral Drops</a> from Trace Minerals Research. This supplement contains Iodine (Iodide), but also Cesium and a whole host of other trace minerals which may be able to protect the body from nuclear radiation. (See the full ingredient list <a href="http://www.iherb.com/Trace-Minerals-Research-ConcenTrace-Trace-Mineral-Drops-8-fl-oz-237-ml/22265?at=LEC572">HERE</a>.)<br />

<b><u>Dosage</u> -</b><br />
<br />
<span id="ctl00_StorePageContents_lblSuggestedUse_content">Begin regimen by taking 1/4 teaspoon (20 drops) for 3 consecutive days. Each day thereafter, increase dosage by 5 drops up to 1/2 teaspoon (40 drops) once or twice daily. Mix with any beverage or food at mealtimes to mask the concentrated mineral flavor followed by a glass of juice or water. Moderately increased dosages are safe if needed or desired, but larger amounts may cause a <u>laxative effect</u>.</span><br />
<br />
<span id="ctl00_StorePageContents_lblSuggestedUse_content"><u><b>The Laxative Effect</b></u> -</span><br />
<br />
<span id="ctl00_StorePageContents_lblSuggestedUse_content">This is an indication that you are at (or beyond) the level your body needs and there is no reason to increase the dosage past that point. I find that I do not even need the 'minimum' <a href="http://www.iherb.com/Trace-Minerals-Research-ConcenTrace-Trace-Mineral-Drops-8-fl-oz-237-ml/22265?at=LEC572">dosage</a> of 1/4 tsp. to reach the laxative effect. I also find that this is not an undesired effect as it helps with constipation, and since at this time eliminating waste is very important to expel excess radioactive contaminants from the system, as mentioned above. </span><br />

<br />
Eating seaweed is good for you! - For radiation protection, for hair, for skin, and for overall health. Seaweed has naturally occurring iodine, as well as many other trace minerals that will protect your health when added to your diet.<br />
<br />
The naturally occurring <a href="http://www.iherb.com/TPCS-Iosol-Formula-II-1-fl-oz-30-ml/4785?at=LEC572">iodine</a> and other minerals in <a href="http://www.iherb.com/Potent-Sea-Sea-Vegetables-540-mg-90-Capsules/5869?at=LEC572">sea vegetables</a> are safer for you as they are organic, not synthetic, and therefore more easily assimilated and more compatible to the human body.<br />
<br />
You can easily add small amounts of Sea Vegetables to your diet daily by consuming them in soups and salads, or by taking supplements in the form of <a href="http://www.iherb.com/Gaia-Herbs-Thyroid-Support-60-Liquid-Filled-Capsules/15543?at=LEC572">capsules</a> or powders. <a href="http://www.iherb.com/Bernard-Jensen-s-Purple-Dulse-Powder-8-oz-227-g/15534?at=LEC572">Purple Dulse Powder</a> can be sprinkled to dishes for a salty flavor instead of table salt. <br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.iherb.com/Eden-Foods-Wakame-Flakes-1-06-oz-30-g/29820?at=LEC572">Wakame</a> is very mild and is delicious in <a href="http://www.blogger.com/goog_1240974305">Miso</a><a href="http://www.iherb.com/Edward-Sons-The-Original-Organic-Miso-Cup-Traditional-Soup-with-Tofu-4-Single-Serving-9-g-Each/32705?at=LEC572"> Soup</a> made with just a little bit of <a href="http://www.iherb.com/Eden-Foods-Certified-Organic-Shiro-Miso-12-1-oz-345-g/12267?at=LEC572">miso paste</a>, water, <a href="http://www.iherb.com/Annie-Chun-s-Soup-Bowl-Miso-Mild-5-4-oz-155-g/31595?at=LEC572">tofu</a> (firm or soft, cut into chunks) and soaked wakame sea vegetable. The wakame is similar in taste and texture to a mild spinach flavor.<br />
<br />
Other products useful for adding a little bit of 'seaweed' to the daily diet are <a href="http://www.iherb.com/Eden-Foods-Seaweed-Gomasio-3-5-oz-100-g/9628?at=LEC572">Gomasio</a>, <a href="http://www.iherb.com/Eden-Foods-Sushi-Nori-7-Sheets-6-oz-17-g/12160?at=LEC572">Nori</a> (sushi wrap), <a href="http://www.iherb.com/Nature-s-Way-Kelp-660-mg-180-Capsules/1934?at=LEC572">Kelp</a> and <a href="http://www.iherb.com/Eden-Foods-Arame-Sea-Vegetable-2-1-oz-60-g/10948?at=LEC572">Arame</a>. The Gomasio is especially good as a sprinkle on many dishes as it also contains <span id="ctl00_StorePageContents_lblOtherIngredients_content">organic sesame seeds, sea salt, and various sea vegetables: organic dulse, nori, and <a href="http://www.iherb.com/Eden-Foods-Kombu-Sea-Vegetable-2-1-oz-60-g/14148?at=LEC572">kombu</a></span>.<br />
<br />
If you don't care for any of these, there are also many types of 'seaweed wrapped' crispy <a href="http://www.iherb.com/Eden-Foods-Sea-Vegetable-Chips-2-1-oz-60-g/9122?at=LEC572">crackers</a> that are very tasty. One especially good brand is: <a href="http://www.iherb.com/Eden-Foods-Nori-Maki-Crackers-2-4-oz-70-g/29837?at=LEC572">Eden Foods Nori Maki Crackers</a> with: Sweet brown rice, nori seaweed, tamari soy sauce (water, soybeans, sea salt), shiitake mushroom powder, kombu seaweed powder. <br />

<br />
<br />
Here is an easy way to remember how to stand for Good Posture: <u>DIBU</u><span style="font-size: xx-small;">®</span>. This acronym stands for, "Down, In, Back and Up." It also has the same pronunciation as the French word for standing straight or upright: <i>'debout'</i> (de boo).<br />
<br />
<u>DIBU</u> - Down, In, Back, Up - This means buttocks <u>Down</u>, stomach <u>In</u>, shoulders <u>Back</u>, and head <u>Erect</u>. Easy, right?! Just remember 'DIBU' as you are walking along, and you will remember to do these four things. You will feel and look better, too.<br />
<br />
Good Posture is important for all of the body systems, including the digestive system. It also keeps your spine flexible and gives you a more youthful appearance. The 'Fountain of Youth' is your own perfect posture!<br />

For those of us trying to avoid the use of sugar, Stevia is a great way to do this. This sweetener is great sprinkled in smoothies, hot or iced tea, coffee, yogurt, or any other item you would like to sweeten. It not only tastes great, but it is actually beneficial for your health and well-being. It does not elevate blood-sugar levels and is useful for both diabetic and hypoglycemics.<br />
<br />
According to Dr. Michael Lam, author of<span style="font-family: inherit;"> <i>How to Stay Young and Live Longer - The Definitive Guide to Anti-Aging</i>, </span><span id="search">studies have linked a high <i>sugar</i> intake with an increased risk of diabetes, cardiovascular disease, cancer, and premature <i>aging</i>. This makes Stevia a useful tool in the quest for </span><span id="search"><i>longévité!</i></span><br />
<span id="search"><i> </i> </span><br />
Stevia extract is more costly than sugar, but a little goes a l-o-n-g way! <a href="http://www.iherb.com/Now-Foods-Stevia-Extract-1-oz-28-g/329?at=LEC572">NOW Stevia Extract</a>, available at <a href="http://www.iherb.com/?rcode=LEC572">iherb.com</a>, is well-priced, has no bitter aftertaste, and is even Organic -- Perfection!A.W.http://www.blogger.com/profile/01128217999007346710noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1384111084563358034.post-8532731340883320682011-03-27T21:13:00.000-07:002013-10-23T20:12:01.421-07:00PURE & SIMPLE STRETCH<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Stretching is a great way to 'become young' again. You become more flexible and, best of all, more pain-free. Above is a picture of my current favorite Stretch Workout DVD. It is very relaxing, and very do-able. There are NO Yoga moves in this routine.<br />
<br />
One of the best features of this DVD is that there are 3 options for workout length. The first is a standing routine that is only 10 minutes long. This is great for when you don't have a lot of time. There is also a 45-minute floor routine that can be done alone, or combined with the standing stretch for a third option.<br />
<br />
Karen Voight has a very mellow, encouraging voice that does not detract from your concentration on the moves. She allows enough time to relax into the stretch, and there is ample opportunity to vary the intensity of the stretches. <br />
<br />
If you remember to stretch a little every day, you will be able to keep your flexibility and to move without stiffness. If you have lost flexibility, stretching is a great way to regain this ability. Just start out slowly and work up to it by stretching a little further every day.<br />
<br />
Moving in a fluid manner, rather than stiffly, will add to a more youthful appearance. You will also feel more able to engage in other physical activities, which will bring more energy into your life. Best of all, you will feel better.<br />
<br />
If you are looking for a good stretch workout, but wish to avoid Yoga, this is a great alternative.A.W.http://www.blogger.com/profile/01128217999007346710noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1384111084563358034.post-59998351434900110742011-03-26T12:59:00.000-07:002011-03-28T17:21:00.711-07:00Oxygen!<br />
<br />
Don't starve your cells - 'air' is our most important nutrient. Below is a quote from Dr. Len Horowitz showing the importance of oxygen:<br />
<br />
"Research shows that 90% of your biological energy comes from Oxygen. Likewise, optimal healing of tissues depends on Oxygen levels."<br />
<br />
Breathe deeply for good health and longevity!<br />
