My name is John Parsons, a doctor of chiropractic and my aim is to promote chiropractic and the healthcare secrets of natural products and foods,

He advocates cold (and ice ) baths and claims it helps to lose weight, strengthen the immune system and stave off diseases.</i><br />
<i>Here is a breathing exercise that 'the iceman' Wim Hoff recommends before getting in the cold bath or shower:</i><br />
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: 'Trebuchet Ms', Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
"In <a href="http://amzn.to/JdMfFt" style="background-color: transparent; border: none; color: #a61301; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Becoming the Iceman</a>, Wim Hof, in addition to gradual acclimatization, also advocates a specific breathing exercises:</div>
<blockquote style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #444444; font-family: 'Trebuchet Ms', Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: italic; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; quotes: none; vertical-align: baseline;">
<div style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Sit comfortably in a peaceful environment (bedroom, living room, back yard, in nature, whatever suits you). Then relax, consciously, and begin to breathe from the abdominal region, not too shallow, not too deep. Think of it like blowing up a balloon.</div>
<div style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<img alt="" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-544" height="237" src="http://www.wellnessrenegade.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/439500394_df2e4c1319-230x237.jpg" style="background-color: transparent; border: 1px solid rgb(221, 221, 221); float: right; margin: 0px 0px 10px 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 4px; vertical-align: baseline;" title="Wim Hof in Ice" width="230" />Do this thirty times. Saturate the muscles and organs with extra oxygen. The goal is to let the oxygen saturate not only the lungs, but also all of the internal organs. It may feel like you are hyperventilating, but just remember that you have control.</div>
<div style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Whenever you feel saturation throughout your body, exhale completely (easy), then inhale until you can’t take in any more air (don’t force it), then exhale completely (easy) and hold your breath (easy).</div>
<div style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
When the feeling telling you to breathe comes, it is because of the depletion of oxygen. At this point, you can inhale fully and hold it for ten seconds with lungs of air.</div>
<div style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
When you complete that, you completed your first cycle!</div>
<div style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Repeat!</strong></div>

“Fibromyalgia is a common disabling condition affecting about 2% of the population.

She had been diagnosed with fibromyalgia 10 years ago by a rheumatologist.<br style="margin: 0pt; padding: 0pt;" />A course of physiotherapy had made no improvement, and she had been prescribed antidepressants without success.<br style="margin: 0pt; padding: 0pt;" />Her score on the Oswestry Low Back Pain and Disability Questionnaire was 48% indicating severe disability.<br style="margin: 0pt; padding: 0pt;" />The patient was tested using the Activator Methods protocol. This indicated an apparent short leg in the prone position, termed ‘left side pelvic deficiency’. The test also indicated subluxations (lesions) at L5, L4, T6, C7 and C2 vertebrae…<br style="margin: 0pt; padding: 0pt;" />The subluxations were gently adjusted using the Activator Adjusting instrument…<br style="margin: 0pt; padding: 0pt;" />The effects were almost immediate. After a day of “feeling sore” she then felt easier the next day…<br style="margin: 0pt; padding: 0pt;" />she was adjusted once a week for 6 weeks together with soft tissue work (trigger point release) and gentle stretching…<br style="margin: 0pt; padding: 0pt;" />After the 6 week course of treatment she said she was “relatively back to normal”.<br style="margin: 0pt; padding: 0pt;" />Her score on the Oswestry questionnaire had now fallen to 34% indicating only ‘mild disability’ . The pain was now assessed as ‘the pain comes and goes and is moderate’.<br style="margin: 0pt; padding: 0pt;" />(full case study available on request)</div>

An interesting article in Healing Cancer Naturally discusses the bio-availability of calcium and other minerals, and makes an interesting point about calcium and no fat dairy:</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; text-align: justify;">
"Calcium: won't absorb as a calcium supplement. That's because it needs both fat and fat-soluble vitamins to become bioavailable. So "no-fat" dairy, e.g., is the second surest way to clog one's kidneys with insoluble calcium, "second" only to taking a supplement with a glass of water, that is... None of the calcium ingested in this manner will make it to the bones, or anywhere else it's needed. But a cup of cottage cheese from whole (no fat removed!) and otherwise unmolested milk will deliver the kind of "live," so to speak, calcium that will do its job. It's "live" because fat and fat-soluble vitamins (and who knows what else!) in a substance where all of them occur together in proportions and amounts that are specific, as part of "natural solvents" that are specific -- all of these factors "enliven" this otherwise "severely wounded" (for purposes of bioavailability) calcium, and it gets a chance to become part of the live human body upon ingestion, rather than clog some organ or other with its dead weight".</div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Enlarged prostate is a common condition affecting mainly middle aged and elderly men. The prostate enlarges and causes difficulty with urination. Many men go for surgery for this condition but according to Lawrence Wilson MD , many men regret this decision due to incontinence and other problems. A safer alternative is to repair the prostate gland and detoxify the body naturally. In many cases this will cause the swelling to subside.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Dr Wilson recommends drinking distilled water to detoxify the body and the prostate specifically:</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Distilled water helps detoxify the body of metal and chemicals". He recommends avoiding tap water with chlorine and flouride which have a poisonous affect on the body.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Wouldn't it be better to use mineral water?</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Actually no, by drinking mineral water we get dead inorganic minerals, which only clog our systems. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> According to independent researcher Andrew Webber:</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> “You only want organic minerals which come from live food. The inorganic calcium in spring water will get stuck in between your bones and give you arthritis, whereas the organic calcium in a live orange will REPAIR a spot in your bones. A human is ONLY made of, and can ONLY use organic minerals. There is zero position and/or zero use for inorganic minerals in humans.” – Andrew Norton Webbe</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">r <a href="http://wwwaquariusthewaterbearer.com/">wwwaquariusthewaterbearer.com</a> -(</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Georgia, Cambria, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; line-height: 20px;">Amazing information on distilled water and liquids.. why pure is the only way to go - he recommends drinking one litre of distilled water per day to detox)</span><br />

This is the view of Andrew Norton Webber - researcher at <a href="http://www.aquariusthewaterbearer.com/">www.aquariusthewaterbearer.com</a> :</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">"Then there was the question of minerals. Don’t we get minerals from spring water? Actually no, we get dead inorganic minerals, which only clog our systems. So again, we are putting minerals in our body, however, that is not actually better for our body or our brain. “You only want organic minerals which come from live food. The inorganic calcium in spring water will get stuck in between your bones and give you arthritis, whereas the organic calcium in a live orange will REPAIR a spot in your bones.

Drinking your own urine first thing every morning may 'promote tranquility during meditation', according to two Australian researchers. Urine is rich in melatonin, a hormone which can make people feel slightly sedated. This could explain why traditional yogis of the Indian subcontinent recommend the practice, known as amaroli (Medical Hypotheses, vol 36, p 195).</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-size: 1em; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 20px; padding: 0px;">
Melatonin is released by the brain's pineal gland during the night; its production is shut off by light shining into a person's eyes. No one is quite sure what melatonin does, but it plays some role in setting our various daily (circadian) rhythms and may even be part of the body's 'master clock'. A dose of melatonin can act as a modest pain killer and can make people feel sleepy. It seems to lessen the trauma of jetlag if taken at bedtime after a flight.</div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Unsurprisingly 'premature ejaculation' was popular. This post (on Valentines day!) talked about serotonin, a relaxing neurotransmitter in the brain,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">"<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18.1875px;">Scientists have found that premature ejaculation has something to do with a chemical in the brain called serotonin. Having low levels of serotonin somebody ejaculates too soon, before he wants to, causing some distress. On the contrary, higher serotonin levels help prevent premature ejaculation."</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> The post than advocated the use of certain herbs such as ginkgo, and griffonia, and even stinging nettles that are claimed to increase serotonin.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> However, the main recommendation was not to worry about it too much, as research showed men with the condition lasted nearly 3 mins on average, compared to healthy volunteers who lasted 3 minutes - hardly statistically significant - maybe some men base their diagnosis on watching porn videos where the men go on for 45 mins or more (probably faked for the cameras)...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Most of the comments for this post are from viagra salesmen!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">On the subject of Erectile Dysfunction another post advocated something simple - exercise.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 20px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">"Any exercise is generally good for erectile dysfunction because it improves blood circulation and cholesterol, crucial to both sexual and cardiovascular health. Data from the large Health Professionals Follow-Up Study found that men who exercised vigorously at least three hours a week had a 30 percent lower risk of erectile dysfunction compared to men who rarely or never exercised."</span></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSXX1QQwwAImVJG0ccWrT6qjvrAvbH4AOiVajz0P4fdCqv3H8K_eykyfPqSqZdiZynphMxb7TiA3prxQ_kgsMosF8S2CAy_qiISF0CU9JHGlrvUjyvrPy68CnxwpZsF-ic2SRrgUoeU2U/s1600/Photo0211.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSXX1QQwwAImVJG0ccWrT6qjvrAvbH4AOiVajz0P4fdCqv3H8K_eykyfPqSqZdiZynphMxb7TiA3prxQ_kgsMosF8S2CAy_qiISF0CU9JHGlrvUjyvrPy68CnxwpZsF-ic2SRrgUoeU2U/s320/Photo0211.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 20px;">and finally another post mentioned the use of a chiropractic technique called KST (Koren Specific Technique) , and quoted a chiropractor posting on a forum (not me by the way)</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">"I am a chiropractor who went thru a pretty nasty divorce a few years ago. Since then</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I've had a roller coaster ride with being able to obtain/maintain an erection. I<br />have tried many different chiropractic techniques. acupuncture, meditation, EFT,<br />supplements, hypnosis, ED meds. All of these provided mixed, inconsistent, temporary<br />results. After one KST adjustment my body released the emotional blockage that had<br />lead to my "issue." I feel like myself again! I highly recommend every chiropractor<br />find out more about KST." </span><br />

<span style="color: black;">Nearly twenty years ago international researchers agreed that spine surgery should not be considered until there had been initially a trial of conservative care but, for the most part, this advice has been ignored.<sup></sup></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #857f7a; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="color: black;">Ironically, the original two spine surgeons who promulgated the abnormal disc theory, WJ Mixter, MD, and JS Barr, MD, from the Massachusetts General Hospital, also recommended conservative care before surgery.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #857f7a; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; text-align: justify;">

<span style="color: black;">The paradigm shift away from the abnormal disc theory in spine diagnosis began in 1990 when research by Scott Boden, MD,found no clear correlation between disc abnormalities and back pain.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #857f7a; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black;"> <em><span style="font-family: georgia; font-style: normal;">Richard Deyo, MD, MPH,</span></em><em><span style="font-family: georgia; font-style: normal;"> noted this misleading disc theory has led to “false positive” misdiagnosis, suggesting</span></em> that “many of these abnormalities are trivial, harmless, and irrelevant, so they have been recently dubbed <i>incidentalomas</i>,” and “they are likely to lead to more tests, patient anxiety, and perhaps even unnecessary surgery.” </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #857f7a; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="color: black;">Both the North American Spine Society and American Society of Spine Radiology now admit the term ‘bulging disc’ should only be used as a descriptive term, not a diagnostic term. In 2011, North Carolina Blue Cross/Blue Shield announced it will no longer pay for spine fusion if the sole criterion is an abnormal disc.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #857f7a; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">

<div>
<b>With reference to my previous post on the above topic, there is evidence that an African herb called </b></div>
<div>
<b>IBOGAINE can cure addictions to these drugs such as heroin, crack cocaine, etc :</b><br />
<br />

<b>"Ibogaine is a psychoactive indole alkaloid derived from the rootbark of an African plant – Tabernanthe iboga. In recent years it has been increasingly noted for its ability to treat both drug and <a href="http://www.ibogaine.co.uk/#" id="_GPLITA_3" in_rurl="http://i.trkjmp.com/click?v=R0I6MjA3OTc6MTE1MDphbGNvaG9sIGFkZGljdGlvbjo5ZjIzOGI5MWY1ZjkxZGQxZDYzMTMxNjI3NGQ5YmJkZDp6LTExMjItMTAwMDkzOnd3dy5pYm9nYWluZS5jby51azoxMDI4NzoxMTczOTJiOTk2NGUwZmU0OGQwZTNlYTAxMTQ0NWQyMA" style="color: #846644;" title="Click to Continue > by CouponDropDown">alcohol addiction</a>. Both scientific studies and widespread anecdotal reports appear to suggest that a single administration of ibogaine has the ability to both remove the symptoms of drug withdrawal and reduce drug-craving for a period of time after administration. In addition, the drug’s psychoactive properties (in large doses it can induce a dreamlike state for a period of hours) have been widely credited with helping users understand and reverse their drug-using behaviour.</b></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #393939; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'Nimbus Sans L', sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 10px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<b>Studies suggest that ibogaine has considerable potential in the treatment of addiction to heroin, cocaine, crack cocaine, methadone, and alcohol. There is also indication that it may be useful in treating tobacco dependence. It has also been suggested that the drug may have considerable potential in the field of psychotherapy, particularly as a treatment for the effects of trauma or conditioning. A single administration of ibogaine typically has three effects useful in the treatment of drug dependence. Firstly, it causes a massive reduction in the symptoms of drug withdrawal, allowing relatively painless detoxification. Secondly, there is a marked lowering in the desire to use drugs for a period of time after taking ibogaine, typically between one week and several months. This has been confirmed by scientific studies. Finally, the drug’s psychoactive nature is reported to help many users understand and resolve the issues behind their addictive behaviour."</b></div>

This contains nerves that tell the brain what the muscle is doing. When a muscle has too much lactic acid, the messages to the brain become weak and then the brain doesn't tell the muscle to relax and you get muscle spasm.<br />In the words of Thomas Griner:<br />"during prolonged exertion, concentrated lactic acid collects in the muscle spindles and this begins to effect the feedback nerves. The messages grow weaker and weaker, and the cerebellum (brain) interprets this means the muscle is relaxing. So it commands the muscle to tighten up....thus begins a vicious cycle of self-sustaining spasm that intensifies and grows larger."<br />Griner's method of neuromuscular massage deals with this muscle spasm, and if the massage is done correctly the muscle will relax, the blood vessels will open, lactic acid will be carried away to the liver, and the muscle will return to a state of h<span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline;">ealth.<br />The suboccipital muscles.<br />According Griner, spasm in the muscles under the head, where it joins the neck, cause all sorts of problems such as headaches. Also muscle spasm here irritates the nerves that control the sphenoid and frontal sinuses.<br />When this happens you get sinusitis, migraines, and over-production of<br />histamine. This effects the hypothalamus and pituitary glands causing<br />asthma, bronchitis, allergies, and autoimmune diseases.<br />A disturbance to the hypothalamus can cause symptoms of autism and<br />scizophrenia.<br />Griner claims to have produced dramatic changes to the behaviour of<br />autistic children by massaging the suboccipital muscles.<br />Thomas Griner is the teacher of Brian Bronk (AMR founder)<br /><br />ref 'Whats really wrong with you' Griner,T, 1996, penguin putnam, new york<br /><a href="http://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.parsons-chiro.co.uk&h=0AQHhX48NAQEHzg0P8Q2uy1ZmVz1-NuQvPEcIpyHJj_F5zg&s=1" rel="nofollow nofollow" style="color: #3b5998; cursor: pointer; text-decoration: initial;" target="_blank">www.parsons-chiro.co.uk</a></span></span></h5>
