Learn More About Breaking The Cycle of Chronic Pain and Inflammation.

Pain is one of the most common health problems doctors treat, yet clinical practice and research shows us that pain is something that can be overcome. One of the most effective natural approaches involves the amino acid DL-phenylalanine, the botanicals turmeric and boswellia serrata, and the proteolytic enzyme nattokinase.

Unlike other substances such as glucosamine sulfate which acts to correct tissue damage after it has occurred, these synergistic substances work specifically to inhibit pain.

DL-Phenylalanine

DL- Phenylalanine is among a number of compounds that have been shown to inhibit the break down of enkephalins, which are the body’s natural opioid pain reducers. DL-phenylalanine has been used successfully for the management of chronic pain in humans. It also exhibits anti-inflammatory properties. It is proposed that the enkephalinase inhibitors may be effective in a number of human “endorphin deficiency diseases” such as depression and arthritis. DL-phenylalanine may alleviate other conditions associated with decreased endorphin levels like opiate withdrawal symptoms as well

Turmeric (Curcuma longa)

Turmeric is used for numerous inflammatory conditions because it has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activity. The primary constituent is curcumin believed responsible for the anti-inflammatory properties. Preliminary studies show that turmeric helps support several conditions like inflammatory bowel disease, rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory eye diseases, chronic pancreatitis, psoriasis, hyperlipidemia and cancers.

Boswellia serrata

Boswellia serrata also known as Indian frankincense, is widely used as a traditional herb in Ayurvedic medicine for treating inflammatory disease and has reported anti-inflammatory and analgesic activity. The resin, or gum, from the plant contains boswellic acids, which produce much of this plant’s anti-inflammatory activity.

Nattokinase

Nattokinase is a proteolytic (protein-dissolving) enzyme derived from a Japanese food known as natto, a preparation of soybeans that has undergone fermentation with a bacterium known as Bacillus subtilis natto.Proteolytic enzymes have analgesic effects in addition to their well-recognized anti-inflammatory and anti-edemic properties, indicating they may have a role to play in pain management. Enzyme-derived analgesia is based on inhibition of the inflammatory cascade as well as exerting a direct influence on nociceptors. (16) Enzymes increase speed of healing and pain relief, and decrease inflammation.

Weight Loss for 2010

January 20, 2010 | 1 Comment

Thank you for posting your comments, success and concerns with the hCG weight loss program, scroll below to leave your thoughts and share your story with the rest of us. We will offer as many tips and suggestions as time allows, please sign up to our feed to stay current on what is being posted and commented on this site.

The hCG Weight Loss program is an easy way to lose up to one pound of body fat per day for incredibly contoured body changes. This program helps reset your basal metabolic rate back into a more rapid calorie burning rate.

The only set back?

It requires a willingness to use a tiny little needle and syringe to receive a daily injection of hCG and the discipline to consume a restricted very low calorie diet consisting of 500 total daily calories.

It’’s not as bad as it sounds though because hCG makes those love handle fats available for the extra calories your body needs to function all day long.

The good news is that this is done in pulse fashion, 21 to 40 days max for each cycle. Then you are off of the program for six weeks and back on to pulse hCG again if you have over 50 pounds of weight to lose.

Our medical office is offering a special payment program to make this medically supervised natural weight loss program available to most. Check out our offer at Youthful Aging Center’s hCG Weight Loss Program page.

Dr. Broda Barnes, MD and His Basal Body Temperature Testing for Low Thyroid Function

January 12, 2010 | Leave a Comment

The thyroid gland may be one of the most elusive causes of many chronic health issues seen in my office.This gland is capable of mimicking over 65 major symptoms of illness and disorder in the human body- the proverbial mockingbird of medicine, wouldn’t you say?

Untreated, a weak thyroid affects the metabolism of every cell in your body and mocks your attempts at living out a long and healthy life span. A weak thyroid gland can even create errors in diagnosis and treatment. For instance, treating only your frequent upper respiratory illnesses with antibiotics while missing the underlying cause which may be hypothyroidism, can continue to weaken your body further leading to chronic fatigue, poor sense of well-being and may worsens your ability to think and even remember!

However, there is a very simple way of catching this little gland off guard to help you make the diagnosis more obvious for your doctor.

If we would all just remember to go back to basics once in awhile, and doctors are no exception. If most doctors would dare revisit their roots in medicine, more of them could learn to detect that which is hidden in plain sight. Sometimes, scientists just get so caught up in all of the neat gadgets, gizmos and flashy techy stuff modern technology seems to throws at us from every which way. Be we often find that it takes just a bit of common sense, some old fashioned discipline and even perhaps frank gall to gather up the courage to look back at history as we explore all that we have forgotten or have put aside for the sake of advancement. A sensible, and simplistic approach may be all that is needed here to land this elusive, moving target.

Enter the case of the deceptive thyroid disorder known as the low T3 syndrome. This is NOT your typical hypothyroidism, in fact this diagnosis is usually missed by 98% of all traditional physicians in their rapid scanning of lab tests looking only for those values that are obviously too far outside of the normal reference range.

But we are not talking here about a blatant thyroid shut down. No, we are looking at sub-optimal thyroid deficiencies in my practice. The exact kind of deficiency that causes so many vague symptoms of fatigue, sluggishness of thoughts and that overall yucky feeling I see so much each day in patients with less than optimal physiology. Most doctors are just too busy to mess with these suboptimal levels or less than ideal physiology states, choosing instead to wait for frank disease and a total shut down to start replacement therapies with medications that are way too expensive or worse that leave behind a trail of side effects requiring other medications to calm the wake.

So here’s the formula, it’s called the Barnes Basal Body Temperature Test, developed by Dr. Broda Barnes, MD. who wrote more medical research on the subject than you can imagine and certainly at a time when perhaps we may have all been coming out of training pants and diapers. But it still sets a precedent for clinical significance and potency of diagnosis. It goes like this:

Put an axillary (armpit) thermometer by your bedside at night and make sure that you shake it down to the lowest temperature reading. In the morning and before getting out of bed or moving around, put the thermometer under your armpit for 10 minutes and lie very, very still. Record your readings for at least 3 mornings in a row. The normal readings are 97.8 to 98.2. If yours are lower than this and you have the classic symptoms (which are outside of the scope of this article at the moment), then take all of this information to your doctor to get tested.

If you are a woman that still has menstrual cycles, make sure that you do this when you are not on your cycle as this will affect your temperatures. Do it immediately after your cycle or during the final days of your cycle like on days 3, 4 or 5. Don’t do it in the middle of your cycle or you will get the rising temperatures seen with ovulation which is one of the ways we use to teach women to check for ovulation and thus improve their chances of getting pregnant.

Hope this common sense approach helps. Let me know…

Resonance & Frequency Healing Energies Applied

January 5, 2010 | Leave a Comment

There is a very interesting concept in alternative medicine known as electromagnetic healing energy.

Through electromagnetic healing energies a body can achieve holistic healing by coming into resonance with the proper frequencies that bring about corrections for such healings to occur.

Have you experienced the movie, What the Bleep Do We Know!?: Discovering the Endless Possibilities for Altering Your Everyday Reality, or read the book The Resonance in Residence: An Inner and Outer Quantum Journey (Science Edition)?

To apply the principles for personal healing does not require a Master’s Degree in Quantum Physics, nor must we spend the next four years and every waking moment scouring nebulous textbook in search of pearls we can apply to our lives and to the lives of those we love that are in need of healing.

A simpler book on the application of Quantum Energy as it applies to holistic healing is, Quantum Change Made Easy: Breakthroughs In Personal Transformation, Self-healing and Achieving the Best of Who You Are (Resonance Repatterning Books)

In this book you will learn simple methods for transforming unconscious patterns that are keeping you from the life you want to be living. If you want to learn how to apply the theories of resonance, coherence and quantum change for practical use in your everyday life this book can help. To borrow from the writers, they state that ‘you are an energy being living in an ocean of vibrating frequencies.’

In fact every experience in your life carries a frequency; your back pain, your work and home stress, your arguments, your depression- as well as your joys and your successes. All frequencies that engrave patterns within your brain setting a course for the rest of your life experiences to follow. In other words, these frequencies that you resonate with today (which make up the foundation of your unconscious patterns) will determine the life that you experience- for better or for worse.

With the right coaching or techniques, we are able to change the frequencies that our bodies resonate in and begin activating new patters that bring about joy, love, health and a higher purpose in our lives. This can be achieved using light and color, sounds, movement, breathing, fragrances and energy balancing.

Have ever noticed how some people, places or things resonate well with you while others are best avoided? You may have felt joy or special affinity with something like a song or work of art. These have played a part in creating moments that move and that inspire you. Yet, there are similar songs and art which have done nothing for you at all, or worse have turned you off completely. This is the workings of resonance taking place within you, silently and without knowledge of its existence, resonance directs your life at all times.

To experience the healings through sounds to fine tune your body, you might look into Sonopathy. The secret of Sonopathy’s success is the proprietary technology used to record the vibrations, or resonance, of natural substances like vitamins, minerals, enzymes, herbal extracts, omega-3, homeopathics and many others.

When you listen to their recordings, these vibrations enter your body and your nervous system through your ears. When the product’s resonance or song is played, it is suggested that the body starts to come into harmony with this vibration or music, and balance is then achieved. Your body then has practically no other choice but to start vibrating along with that “natural harmony”.

How can this help you to achieve health and balance? To answer this question I invite you to look into Sonopathy. Learn How Sonopathy Can Support Your Body:

To Fine-Tune Your Body For Health And To Feel Better

To Get More Nourishment From Your Foods

To Eliminate Toxins Form Your Body More Efficiently

To Lower the Impact of Stress on Your Life
