OPENDOOR is Saturday, February 17, 10-1

The next OPEN DOOR is Sat. Feb. 17, 10 to 1. This is fast rack’em and crack’em head to toe, feel good all over adjusting for established clients and no appointment is necessary. Fee: $45 cash or check.

I have a new diagnosis for you from Europe. Autonomic Neuro-dysfunction Syndrome. It is an over function of your sympathetic system. That looks like panic attacks, sleeplessness, high blood pressure, nervousness, hyper-vigilance, over eating, addictions, obsessiveness, fear, frequent urination, heart palpitations, light headedness, vertigo, or heavy sweating to list a few symptoms. In the U.S. we call it stress. The cure?? Breathing, Exercise, appropriate food--I.E. no sugar, caffeine, very little, if any, alcohol and simple carbs. If it is white it is probably simple carbs.

Or you can breathe. It is free. There are several breathing tapes, and DVDs out there. You can down load them to your personal player and breathe while waiting for the street light to change, while you are on phone hold, standing in a line, on the toilet, waiting for the water to boil or microwave to ding. I am using Andrew Weil’s Breathing. He does a pretty good job of describing why you want to control ANS or stress. The breathing exercises are simple, just follow the directions. I am noticing that I am more limber and have less pain, sleep better and am more relaxed.

Now about that lady in Northern Calif. who killed herself drinking too much water. The amount of appropriate water is related to your weight: about 1 quart per 50 pounds, in a 24 hour period. She drank nearly 2 gallons in a few hours AND did not weight anywhere near 200 plus pounds. She washed out her minerals which caused brain swelling and loss of muscle control. The heart is a muscle. If you are drinking appropriate amount of water for your weight you will be ok.

Many of you have complained of flu symptoms. When I check for flu nothing shows up. You can have flu symptoms from allergies/hay fever, spores flying in on the desert winds, Christmas detox, stress and CME energy from the sun. The most common find is detox from holiday junk food and spores. Sipping cider vinegar in water puts the mucus and soothes the throat.  And get adjusted ASAP.

I am finding that people are unusually stiff.  I think it is because so many folks don’t wear warm cloths in this cold weather. It is OK to wear a coat or sweater. Yoga helps with the stiffness.

I have discovered some very helpful products by Thorne and others.  Al’s Formula for men, which contains the vitamins, minerals and herbs for health men’s health all in ONE pill.  Perfusia-SR which cleans out the vessels and promotes heart health.  Thorne makes good stuff for thyroid and hormone health based on nutrition.

Bezwecken has some great solutions for adrenal exhaustion and hormone issues

I have DAG, which is made from Irish moss and is good for throat conditions, sores, bug bites, sores from braces. It is not good for those with allergy to iodine.

NET Remedies has homeopathic remedies for pain relief, flu and other symptoms. We can use the above solutions however having a balanced body is the key to long term health. Why are some of you putting up with misery when you can feel so much better?

Do you have difficulty focusing, lack of appetite, difficulty sleeping, increases headaches or tiredness, feeling of guilt, anger, fear, dreams or night/day mares, frequent mood changes and increased feeling of anxiety?  Me too. I knew it was not depression. So what is it? I tracked it down to  grief and loss. If you are experiencing these symptoms it might be a good time to get an NET session. There are a lot of good grief sites in the ’puter. www.caringinfo.org is one of them, click on grief and read away.

One of my favorite authors, Colin Tipping will be in town for a three day intensive seminar at the Tustin Unity Church, (714-730-3444x107) April 20-22. Colin wrote Radical Forgiveness which is a life changing book.  His seminars are over the top fun and very effective. If you are holding a grudge, hatred, revenge or have shunned people from your life for what they have done then this seminar is a must for your health and health.  www.radicalforgiveness.com.

The Upledger Institute will be having seminars in the area Feb. 24-25.  They are accepting application for expectant moms, new mom and newborns to receive gentle, relaxing therapy for free. I have applications  at the office or you can call the Institute at 1-800-233-5880 and ask about the relaxing therapy for expectant and new moms for Orange County.

The heat will eventually return, I hope, and when it does we will want to use our car A/C. The cold and rain fed moldy conditions so if you A/C smells moldy don’t use it while you are sitting in the car. Take some time to open all of the windows and doors, turn the A/C on high and allow it to blow for 5 minutes, I would then vacuum out the car. Get you air filter changed also.  If you are prone to allergies come see me. There are many safe non-drug solutions.

Many blessings to you all and to those who gave the gift of live animals to Heifer International I have ducks and geese, rabbits and chicks bringing food and prosperity to many. Thank you.  And thank you for all of the marvelous new patients that I have met.
