Guide To Doing Kegel Exercises

Guide To Doing Kegel Exercises
Kegel exercises have been touted as great pelvic area
exercises by many doctors and trainers. They were
discovered by Dr. Kegel and the major goal of these
exercises are to achieve better muscle tone for the muscles
of the pelvic floor by strengthening them. Kegel exercises
involve the tightening and relaxing of the pubococcygeus
(PC) muscles which are a part of the pelvic floor.

These exercises have been recommended for women who are
pregnant as it assists in preparing the pelvic area for
child birth. They have also been used to help treat men who
suffer from prostrate pain and swelling. Other benefits of
doing Kegel exercises include urinary incontinence
treatment and increased sexual pleasure.

How to do Kegel exercises

Before you begin doing the exercise it is important you
know where the Kegel muscles are. The easiest way to find
your Kegel muscles is to stop your urine midstream. The
pelvic floor muscles are what are used to do this and it is
done by contracting them. When you release the pelvic
muscles you will start the flow again.

The basic Kegel exercise just involves the contracting and
relaxing the muscle repeatedly. These exercises have a
number of variations including varying the speed at which
the muscles are contracted and relaxed. Here are some Kegel
exercises you can do.

Exercise 1

Step 1. As fast as you can tighten the release the
pubococcygeus muscles for a count of ten seconds, then rest
for ten seconds. Do a set of three and afterwards rest for
thirty seconds.

Step 2. Next you tighten and release the same muscles for
five seconds and rest for five seconds. Repeat this
sequence ten times.

Step 3. Now you will once again contract your pubococcygeus
muscles for 30 seconds and then relax them for 30 seconds.
Do this for a set of three.

Step 4. Repeat step one.

Exercise 2

Step 1. Contract the pubococcygeus muscles. Hold for five
seconds, and then relax them. Do this for a set of ten.

Step 2. Contract and relax the muscle as fast as you can
for a set of ten. Do three sets.

Step 3. Once again contract and relax the muscle for ten
second counts and varying the intervals. Do this for three
sets. Step 4. Squeeze the muscle. Hold for as close to two
minutes as you can.

Exercise 3

Step 1. Contract and relax the muscle repeatedly for a
count of thirty. Do at least four sets.

Step 2. Contract your pubococcygeus muscles as much as you
can. Hold for 25 seconds and then relax for thirty seconds.
Do this five times. It is important to remember that you do
not need to go to a gym or any special classes to do these
exercises. You can do them at any time you want and any
where you want. No special clothes are need or equipment.
You can do them sitting or standing. The key to getting the
benefits of Kegel exercises is to do them often and
consistently.

Understand this one weight loss tip if you want to look hot in your sexy mini skirt

Understand this one weight loss tip if you want to look hot in your sexy mini skirt
Every women wants to look sexy and have guys take notice
when they wear their sexy mini skirt or mini dress. It is
only natural to think this way because it makes you feel
good and feel that you are wanted. Too many women though
feel their bodies are not up to the challenge of looking
sexy in that mini skirt. So here is another weight loss
tip to get you that sexy mini skirt body that will turn
heads and have guys wanting your phone number.

The tip for today is to make sure you know what you are
consuming both food and drinks.

Record what you eat and drink if you want comments such as
you look hot in that mini skirt. You will be amazed at what
you consume over the course of the day without ever
realizing it. Keeping a food journal is critical to your
success because it gives you the true picture of what you
are eating each day. A food journal is critical to your
mini skirt success because studies have shown that people
underestimate their calories by as much as 25%. This means
that if you think you are eating 1500 calories and you
can't figure out why you aren't losing weight it could be
because in reality you are eating 1800-1900 calories. Or
almost 400 more calories than you thought you were. Don't
assume you know how many calories you are consuming. To
look amazing in your sexy, little mini skirt it is crucial
that you record what you eat and drink so you don't waste
time wondering why your mini skirt doesn't fit.

To get started with recording what you eat and drink buy a
notebook and get a pen. The notebook can be small so you
can fit it into your purse. Whenever you eat or drink
something make sure you write down what it was and the
quantity. Also, ask yourself if this will help you fit
into that little mini skirt you have been trying to fit
into or wanting to buy.

You will find that your eating habits will change for the
better knowing that you have to account for those foods or
drinks and that it will affect what size you buy that mini
skirt in. Many times most people never have to even
determine how many calories they are eating. Just by
writing down the foods and quantities will get you to
understand exactly what you are eating and you will start
automatically cutting out the extra snacks that you haven't
been accounting for in your diet plan.

Keep this food journal for 2 weeks and record what you eat
and drink during that time. Every night review what you
ate or drank that day and come up with a plan for improving
your eating habits for the next day. Do that every night
and at the end of two weeks you will find that you have
made significant changes to your diet plan and your goal of
fitting into that sexy mini skirt or mini dress becomes
closer to reality.

Hair Mineral Analysis

Hair Mineral Analysis
As a Nutrition Consultant I see many clients with health
challenges that conventional medicine has failed to solve.
When confronted by such puzzles, one of many useful
investigative tools at my disposal is the Hair Mineral
Analysis, or HMA. It is something I will consider right
away if I suspect that health problems could be arising as
a result of toxic metal overload.

Hair contains all the minerals present in the body and, in
most cases, reflects the quantity of these elements in your
tissues. Analysis of this information provides a wealth of
information on how efficiently your body is working and its
nutritional status. A blood test will only give information
about your mineral levels at the time the test is taken.
For instance, if you've just eaten a banana a blood test
may indicate a high potassium level, even though you
actually need a potassium supplement. Hair analysis
reflects your body's storage of potassium over a period of
time, not what you ate that day, or even that week.
Likewise, urine tests measure what is being excreted from
your body, which is not necessarily what has been absorbed
as fuel.

Trace minerals are essential in countless metabolic
functions in all phases of the life process. According to
the late author and noted researcher, Dr Henry Schroeder,
trace elements (minerals) are "more important factors in
human nutrition than vitamins.

Mineral imbalances can arise from improper diet, stress,
medications, pollution and even from taking the incorrect
type or amount of a nutritional supplement.

How is the test carried out? Taking a hair sample is
simple, non-invasive and pain free. Any one can do it. All
that is needed is about a tablespoon of hair taken from
several areas of your scalp on the back portion of your
head. The hair must be about one to one and a half inches
from the root end - it's important to cut off and discard
any hair longer than that.

This is dispatched to a lab in the USA that specializes
only in hair analysis. On arrival it is prepared for
testing and then acids are added to break the hair down,
separating out the elements contained in the hair protein.
After "digestion" the remaining mineral salts are put into
solution and analyzed by sensitive and specialized
instruments.

The results are interpreted to produce nutritional mineral
levels, their interrelationships and metabolic
categorization. The report is then personalized for you,
complete with graphs and explanations which may give you
answers you have been seeking for years.

Why the USA? After evaluating various services I settled on
this lab because it offered excellent value for money. a
superb report and a fast service. My own report contained
18 pages of information (others may differ, depending on
findings) and was delivered within a fortnight at a cost of
£50. It included levels of 38 minerals and the
interactions between them, my metabolic type with a list of
recommended supplements and details of foods to increase
and decrease in order to improve my mineral balance. At the
other end of the spectrum was a UK service which I won't
name. Although it was a few pounds cheaper, I waited 8
weeks for its return then received just one sheet of paper
giving levels of 19 minerals. No explanations, no ratios,
no interactions, no graphs, no analysis. You get what you
pay for.

Are there any problems? You will be asked to specify which
hair preparations you used, as some hair treatments can
contaminate scalp hair. For instance dyes may contain lead
acetate, bleaching processes affect calcium and certain
medicated shampoos contain zinc or selenium. However, only
that individual element is affected. All the others tested
are valid. If scalp hair is in short supply, hair from
other parts of the body is completely acceptable!

Is it reliable? Hair is used as one of the tissues of
choice by the Environmental Protection Agency in
determining toxic metal exposure. A 1980 report from the
E.P.A. stated that human hair can be effectively used for
biological monitoring of the highest priority toxic metals.
This report confirmed the findings of other studies in the
USA and abroad, which concluded that human hair might be a
more appropriate tissue than blood or urine for studying
community exposure to certain trace elements.

Although some health-care professionals are skeptical, in
the past twenty years there have been over a thousand
references in peer-reviewed journals, supporting the
reliability of the HMA. But perhaps of more interest are
the following case histories.

Case history 1: J.C. presented with symptoms of fatigue,
lethargy, joint aches and excessive hair loss (at age 25).
His hair mercury was markedly high. Following treatment his
hair levels of mercury decreased to a much more acceptable
level and his symptoms improved significantly. The source
of the toxicity was never identified.

Case history 2: C.T. became mentally ill and was diagnosed
with paranoid schizophrenia. He was also alcoholic and
consuming large quantities of drugs. An HMA revealed four
times the acceptable levels of lead in his hair and also
elevated levels of cadmium, mercury and copper. Following
therapy and supplementation his condition improved
dramatically, he lost his cravings for alcohol and his
symptoms of mental illness reverted to normal, with no
further need for psychoactive drugs.

Case history 3: L.S., a housewife in her early 40s, had
been feeling tired for months. Her doctor had run all the
standard tests and could find no problems. Finally she had
an HMA which showed she had high levels of lead that were
causing her tiredness. The cure came easily, she was
feeling better in two weeks and the tired feeling vanished
within a month.

L.S. was breathing excess lead from a car exhaust. How much
lead are you breathing in from car exhausts - jogging or
queuing in heavy traffic? How much cadmium have you
accumulated from passive (or active!) smoking at the office
and the pub? Is the mercury in your fillings stable, or is
the vapor slowly poisoning you?

Why might you benefit from an HMA? If you have a disease or
illness that has not responded to conventional treatment,
you may wish to explore other possibilities and an HMA is
an excellent place to start. If you are suffering from
"unexplained" problems such as headaches, backaches,
weakness or tremors, an HMA could help you to get to the
bottom of it.

If you can answer 'yes' to five or more of these questions
an HMA may provide information which, if acted upon, could
benefit your health.

* Do you live in a city or by a heavy road?

* Do you spend more than 2 hours a week in traffic?

* Do you exercise or walk by busy roads?

* Do you smoke more than 5 cigarettes a day?

* Do you live or work in a smoky atmosphere?

* Do you buy foods exposed to exhaust fumes (i.e. on
display at a road-side stall)?

* Do you generally eat non-organic produce?

* Do you drink more than 1 unit of alcohol per day? (1
glass of wine, 1 pint of beer or 1 measure of spirits)?

* Do you spend a lot of time in front of a TV or VDU?

* Are you exposed to pollutants in your job (e.g. printing,
dentistry) or hobby (gardening)?

* Do you have two or more amalgam dental fillings?

* Do you usually drink unfiltered tap water? Or you may
just be feeling under par without knowing why.

Are just toxic minerals examined? No - the HMA will examine
the status of the essential minerals such as calcium,
magnesium, zinc, chromium and a whole host of others.
Modern food processing methods strip nutrients from food.

Did you know that a massive 98% of chromium is stripped
from flour in the refining process. Not heard of chromium?
It is an essential part of the 'Glucose Tolerance Factor'
which controls blood sugar, stimulates burning of food for
energy, controls blood cholesterol levels, reduces blood
fat levels and suppresses hunger symptoms.

Modern farming methods have also depleted the mineral
content of soil, and addition of some fertilizers can make
minerals unavailable to plants. But it's not just
deficiencies that can cause problems. You can have too much
of anything! If calcium (in dairy products), sodium (in
table salt) or phosphorous (in fizzy drinks) are present in
excess in your diet, these can upset the natural mineral
ratios. And interactions between minerals are important
too. Is fluoride in your water supply depressing your
calcium absorption? The graphs in an HMA will reveal all.
Why not find out?

Obviously an HMA is no substitute for diagnosis by a
qualified medical practitioner, but if conventional medical
investigations have failed to find a reason, or suggest a
treatment for your problem, HMA represents an invaluable
and cost effective next step.

Recent Research Suggests Chemotherapy Ineffective for Mesothelioma Victims

Recent Research Suggests Chemotherapy Ineffective for Mesothelioma Victims
A UK medical journal, The Lancet, released disturbing
results of a study finding no benefit of chemotherapy on
patients suffering from malignant pleural mesothelioma
(MPM).

The research, considered a setback for scientists seeking
treatment for the condition, was conducted by Nicholas J.
Vogelzang, MD, director of the Nevada Cancer Institute in
Las Vegas, and was released in May 2008.

Chemotherapy Ineffective Mesothelioma Treatment

The study found that chemotherapy not only did not offer
any improvement among mesothelioma patients but was found
to have no significant impact whatsoever on survival rate
of victims.

According to the study, the median average of survival rate
between victims who received an active symptom control
(ASC) versus those who received the same treatment plus
chemotherapy was less than a month apart, suggesting no
beneficial impact, although, the study did suggest further
investigation into treatments of ASC and chemotherapy were
likely required.

What is Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma?

MPM is considered an advanced and more severe form of
malignant mesothelioma and has been characterized as "an
aggressive tumor with poor prognosis," according to a study
published in The Oncologist, an international medical
journal, in 2007. The cancer typically affects an
individual's lungs and causes extreme difficulties when
breathing.

The condition is also difficult to treat because of the
high rate of misdiagnosis among patients. Unfortunately,
the incidence of this condition has also been on the rise,
and experts speculate that through the next 10 to 20 years,
the number will only increase.

Mesothelioma Causes

For years, mesothelioma has been linked to the inhalation
of vermiculite asbestos fibers and dust. Vermiculite is a
mineral that was heavily mined. During the 20th century,
several vermiculite mines, although the exact number is
unknown, were functional in the United States, with
countless other mines in operation throughout the world.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is currently in
charge of regulating and issuing guidelines for the safe
removal and cleanup of asbestos in homes and building
throughout the country. However, there is a large number,
although estimates are not clear, of structures with
asbestos-ridden insulation currently in the United States
and improper exposure to such could increase risk of
developing a form of mesothelioma.

Additional Malignant Mesothelioma Treatment Options

While the unfortunate truth is that malignant pleural
mesothelioma is usually fatal among victims, there are a
few treatment options for managing the disease, however
these often depend upon the symptoms and stage of the
illness.

Surgery is the most common mesothelioma treatment, although
a study released in July 2007 in The Oncologist emphasized
that the role of surgery in managing MPM is debatable.
However, the three main surgical techniques used to manage
MPM are pleurodesis, pleurectomy/decorication (P/D) and
extrapleural pnemonectomy (EPP).

The study noted that as of yet, there have been no
controlled studies determining whether one surgical
procedure is better than another. Of the surgical
procedures, the P/D and EPP methods aim for local control
of the disease and while P/D has a limited morbidity, EPP
has between 1.5 to 5 percent mortality rates.

It is often recommended that individuals who suffer from
this type of mesothelioma or any form of mesothelioma
locate an experienced mesothelioma attorney. Because of the
high costs and technical difficulties associated with
mesothelioma treatment, a mesothelioma lawsuit may
potentially offer relief in the form of monetary
compensation, especially since mesothelioma is considered
by some to have been highly preventable.

Yeast and Candida Treatment- Treating Candida Overgrowth in Children

Yeast and Candida Treatment- Treating Candida Overgrowth in Children
One of the most prevalent organisms in the system is
Acidophilus, a type of friendly bacteria that exists in the
gut. This organism is significant to a healthy digestive
system. However, it does not exist in a child's system
until early childhood. Children younger than this are
exposed to the healthy bacteria mainly by drinking breast
milk. If the mother's system has an imbalance, such that
there are fewer numbers of Acidophilus than Candida, there
is a good chance that the child will develop the imbalance
as well. This can start a continuous problem for the child
as it develops. Children may develop symptoms early or
later in life.

Common Symptoms - Of the reported cases of yeast infection,
women of childbearing age represent the largest group of
those exposed to yeast infections. A child is more
susceptible to develop a yeast infection if its mother has
a yeast infection. This is especially true if the child is
delivered via vaginal birth or is breastfed. Since babies
and young children do not have the protection of healthy
bacteria they may develop an overgrowth of Candida. Colic,
diaper rash, oral thrush, gastrointestinal upset, and
infections are the most common symptoms of Candida
overgrowth that show up in children.

New studies showithat behavioral problems in young children
can also be attributed to chronic yeast infections. Young
children who have Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD),
learning disabilities, and other behavior problems should
be evaluated for yeast infections.

Recommended Medication - Antifungal medications are
prescribed most often to treat yeast infections. These
medications are not typically suitable for children because
they contain toxins. Natural treatment options are more
appropriate for young children. A pediatrician can
recommend products for you to administer to your child.

A doctor may prescribe antibiotics for any number of
childhood conditions. Antibiotics are prescribed to kill
harmful bacteria, but may also eliminate some healthy
bacteria in the process. It is recommended that antibiotic
use be coupled with an antifungal medication to prevent
Candida overgrowth. Nystatin is considered a safe
antifungal medication for children because it does not
enter the bloodstream.

Recommended Diet - When a child has an overgrowth of yeast,
it is a good idea that they avoid the usual high sugar diet
that children consume. Fruit juices, candy, dairy products,
and junk foods are what many children consume on a regular
basis. A child that has a yeast infection should avoid
these foods because they can exacerbate an overgrowth of
Candida. Since diet is significant for a growing child,
eliminating too many foods from their diet can cause
developmental problems. A nutritionist can suggest foods
that both inhibit yeast overgrowth and provide the
nutrients that a young child needs on a daily basis.
Vitamin supplements for children are available, but you
should discuss this with your doctor because some nutrients
in high doses can be dangerous for children.

Rebuilding the system with healthy bacteria is essential
for recovering from yeast infections. However, some
probiotics are not suitable for young children. Colostrum
is one product in particular that is considered appropriate
for children. For babies, breast milk is the best defense
against the invasion of Candida yeast. Mothers should
ensure that they also follow a healthy diet that consists
of plenty of vegetables.

How To Double Your Weight Loss Results To Get A Flat Stomach

How To Double Your Weight Loss Results To Get A Flat Stomach
Are you seeking methods to lose weight faster? Are you
constantly looking for ways to lose that belly fat faster
so that you can show off you new body at your next party?
What if I can show you some techniques that you can use
straight away so that you can start losing body fat fast
and safe.

I understand how you feel, people wants results fast and it
is nothing wrong with that. As long as it is sustainable
and it is healthy. There are many ways to burn body fat
faster, unfortunately most of the ways are unhealthy and
they do not last long. I know I have promised you some tips
that you could implement so that you can double your fat
loss but before that, why not I highlight some quick weight
loss methods that you should avoid.

First of all, avoid crash diets. Crash diets can make you
lose weight really fast. That it is called crash diets. You
crash and burn. The burn part is the part where you pile
the weight back on and even more sometimes! When you go
through a quick weight loss diet, you are going through a
fake and deprived lifestyle. It is not sustainable. You
need to lose weight steadily and be able to sustain it for
years to come.

Now, lets get into the question on how to double your
weight loss results so that you can get a flat stomach. For
starters, I would like to begin with hammering into your
head that you need weight training to build muscle in order
to lose belly fat. This does not mean you need to do
hundreds of crunches or hundreds of weighted crunches. That
wont help either. The idea of weight training is to pack on
solid muscle into your frame so that your can increase your
metabolism. One pound of muscle burns an extra 50 calories
for just being there. This is because muscle are living
tissues and it need calories to survive. You will burn even
more calories when you exercise because more calories are
needed to move the additional muscles.

Focus on adding about 4 pounds of muscle throughout your
body. This will bring in an extra of 200 calories burn per
day and even more when you exercise.

Focus on adding more muscle on the legs. The legs is the
best part to pack on muscle. This is because it has a large
cross section area compared to the other body part. The
other reason is that most people, avoid training legs. It
is a high chance that you can add in loads of muscle on
your legs right now.

Not only that. The benefits add ons. With stronger legs,
you can run further and faster which will results in more
calorie burn, most probably around 100 more calories. The
additional muscles also protects your joints from injuries
and ware and tear.

To further increase your calorie, do high intensity
interval training for your cardio vascular training. this
technique which is also known as HITT, can really give you
a boost in stamina, speed and post workout calorie burn.
Unlike traditional cardiovascular training where the
calorie burn stops as soon as you stop doing it, HITT
enables you to experience post workout calorie burn! This
means your body keeps on burning calories even after the
workout. If you have done a HITT correctly, you will find
that you will be sweating still even after the workout
itself.

HITT works this way. It is a 20 minute high intensity
workout. In that 20 minutes, you have 10 intervals with 2
minutes in each interval. 1 minute will be your resting
phase and 1 minute will be your working phase. On the
working phase, you will run as fast as you can, around the
level of anaerobic and the after one minute, you will slow
down and walk for a minute to recover. Then, you would
repeat the interval for 10 times. Remember though, if you
want this to really burn fat, you need to run at the
intensity of around 90 % of your max heart rate and
sometimes 95 %.

Wait, there is more!

To further increase the body fat burn, do this HITT
training first thing in the morning as this will tap into
your body fat stores fast.

So, now you have 4 pointers to help you double you calorie
burn and 1 important point to help you crash and burn
during the process. Take action today and start using these
strategies. I believe if you really desire a flat stomach,
you will get it! If you snooze, you lose!

Lowering High Blood Pressure The Natural Way

Lowering High Blood Pressure The Natural Way
Lowering high blood pressure may be easier than you think.
However, before I go into any detail let me run a few
things by you to put the situation into perspective.

The extent of the problem

Roughly, over the last 80 years, death by heart disease has
increased from less than 1% to 50%. It has been reported
that almost a million Americans die through heart failure
every year. Many people suffering from a heart or
cardiovascular problem such as high blood pressure may find
themselves on medication for the rest of their lives (Hint:
if the pills were any good then how come is it that
patients don't get better?)

A loss of sovereignty over your health

Because heart disease has increased from 1% to about 50%
roughly over 80 years, this clearly shows that the problem
is not genetic, since this rise could not be caused over
just one generation. The same could be said about many
other illnesses, with similar facts. Orthodox medical
Doctors however, are forever touting the genetic
explanation as a cause of illness. -The point I'm making
here is this: Many people have lost control over their
health. They have designated the responsibility to the man
in the white coat who they think knows what's best for them
with the 'pill for every ill' mentality, and get the wrong
idea that their ailment is uncontrollable because it's
genetic. For example, a patient may erroneously be led to
think: "I don't need to look after my body because the
Doctor takes care of that..." Or ''There's nothing I can do
about my blood pressure because it's in my genes...''

The real solutions

So, when it comes to lowering high blood pressure, the
first thing to realise is that YOU are responsible for your
health. Pills don't cure. They only treat the symptoms. For
example, let's say you have a throbbing headache and feel
like you're walking around with an axe in your head.
Granted, the pills give temporary relief by numbing the
pain, but the root cause has not been addressed and indeed,
will still persist.

Hi blood pressure pills never get to the root cause. They
have adverse side effects and hence the patient could be
suffering for the rest of his/her life. -But that's the way
the pharmaceutical companies want it to be, don't you see?
They don't want a patient to be cured because that would
mean the loss of a paying customer.

The first thing to realise is that lowering high blood
pressure means is not difficult, but needs a commitment to
treating the root cause. Indeed, if you have this
condition, your health is in your hands and only you can
lower your high blood pressure.

Curing high blood pressure the natural way

Like I always document in my articles, books, blogs...
there are 4 major factors related to curing one's self of
illness, and high blood pressure is no exception. The 4
major factors needing the active approach are:

1. Nutrition
2. Exercise
3. The environment
4. Your attitude: Outlook on life, thoughts and emotions...

-In the latter case, it mostly implies stress handling.
Good blood pressure lowering nutrition can be summarised by
the following main features or common denominators. That
the food is:

1.Natural (organic): Seeds, beans, nuts, fruits and
vegetables...
2. Is mainly free of chemicals, preservatives with
mysterious E-numbers, flavour enhancers and stabilisers...
3. Has had very little heat treatment. Poaching or steaming
is okay
4. Is fresh, since the vitamins & enzymes will not be too
denatured and be able to take more of an effective part in
the body's metabolic requirements. Good fresh antioxidants
like vitamin C are an absolute essential.

Water is very important and sometimes overlooked when
considering blood pressure. A lack of drinking water causes
the vessels to have less of a volume of water in the blood.
Because of this lower liquid content in the blood, like any
tube that has less liquid inside, the blood vessels
constrict (shrink and become smaller). This causes a rise
in blood pressure.

Around 15-30 minutes a day exercise. Take enough exercise
so that it gets you puffing and panting. This improves
cardiovascular function.

Environmental factors are probably self-explanatory. Create
a stress-free surrounding. Studies have shown that 15
minutes meditation per day can significantly lower high
blood pressure.

Your thoughts emotions and beliefs can have a great effect
on your blood pressure. Perhaps, to a greater extent than
most people imagine. There are plenty of very good books on
this subject . Take a look at the excellent work by Doctor
Bruce Lipton.

Chelation therapy has been a very successful alternative to
bypass surgery. Many MD's are now offering this. It
involves introducing an amino acid called EDTA into the
blood stream. Its purpose is to dissolve the plaque lining
the blood vessels. It is worth noting that it does put some
initial stress on the kidneys. However, in comparison to
bypass surgery and angioplasty, it is much cheaper,
non-toxic and has no side-effects and actually does the job
of getting rid of the plaque, rather than just rearranging.
It is worth noting that it does put some initial stress on
the kidneys.

-This is not an exhaustive account, but this is certainly
the highly effective way forward to being in the driver's
seat when it comes to controlling health and blood pressure.

How does a Detox Foot Bath Work?

How does a Detox Foot Bath Work?
Foot Detox has quickly become one of the leading ways that
people are getting healthier in their lives. The basic
premise for these systems goes way back, with the original
form of foot detoxification coming 1600 years ago in a
Japanese legend. According to the legend a group of people
who had a wide range of ailments made a pilgrimage into the
mountains. One night during this pilgrimage the group was
looking for a place to rest for the night, and they found a
hot spring coming out of the rocks of the mountain. With a
decent place to rest for the night, the group decided to
set beside the spring with their feet down in it to try to
relieve the fatigue they felt. Upon waking the next
morning, the group realized that not only was their travel
weariness gone, but in totality they felt the best they had
in many years. Once the group had completed their
pilgrimage and made it back home they each had startling
news coming from their physicians. Each of them was found
to be completely devoid of the illnesses they had been
afflicted with prior to their trip into the mountain.

From this the idea of foot detoxification as a cure for
many different afflictions was born. As the human
understanding of the way the body works has gotten better,
we have come to understand far better how foot baths can in
fact be used as a cure to many common illnesses. While
these original options worked as well as anything at the
time could have been expected to, with advancements in
research and technology the options have gotten far more
stable and effective.

The biggest step forward in terms of getting real value out
of a detox foot bath came in the realization that the human
body is made up of many electrically charged cells. With
this also came the realization that if those cells are
electrically charges that it stands to reason that those
charges can in fact be pushed out of balance. When the
body's cells are out of balance they are less able to
facilitate the functions necessary to keep a person
healthy. In essence these slight imbalances are the reason
a body becomes less able to fend of illnesses. The real
frustrating part about this is the fact that there is a
built in cycle that gradually gets worse. As more
illnesses enter the body they can actually wind up throwing
the body further out of balance, thereby allowing an even
greater chance of new illnesses being introduced.

This is exactly what the Detox Foot Bath is made to
counteract. By introducing a healthy electrical current
into the body through the feet the bath is able to
gradually bring the body back into balance. As the body
comes back into balance there will be a natural purge of
toxins and heavy metals from the entire body. This
cleansing is what eventually creates a noticeable more
healthy body for anyone who uses the bath.

My wife and I became qualified as Auricular Detox
Technicians in July of 2002. Our initial goal was to help
people with addictive behavior issues. Along the way we
learned how to apply acupuncture to help a wide variety of
emotional and physical problems.
