Why Does Mainstream Medicine Ignore The Placebo Effect?

Bruce Lipton, Ph.D. Delves Into The Phenomenon Of Our Mind Power

This is WAY more important of a concept than many realize. There is an amazing amount of healing being experienced and shared which has little to do with drugs, surgery, and even therapies.

I also submit the idea of the "toxebo" effect. If you believe something will harm you, it will. Don't be cavalier about this, but respect the power of your mind and the fear-based paradigm we unconsciously adopt. Choose to be positive and lovingly invulnerable to "hurtful", "evil", and "bad".

7 Strategies to Eliminate Eczema

Eczema is just one expression of rampant inflammation. For some people, the skin is going to tell you it's there. For others, allergies, joint and muscle pain, asthma, frequent illness, bowel discomfort, insomnia, etc. Some may have more than one. Be patient, be reasonable and take one strategy at a time. Making inner peace a priority may help in tackling our addiction to the factors which are driving the chemical imbalances which are driving the inflammation.

Here is Dr. Mark Hyman  explaining his 7 Strategies to Eliminate Eczema: Eczema

Nasal Irrigation (AKA using a Neti pot) for Allergy Relief, etc.

I became a firm believer in nasal irrigation around 20 years ago per a recommendation for squelching my own sinus and allergy problems. Several years ago I gave a demonstration of the use of a neti pot to my yoga classmates.  A classmate told me, "After your demonstration, I tried it and it changed my life!  I used to suffer from allergies and have not ever since".  

Recently, a yoga classmate suggested it was time to do another demo for the newer members of the class who may not yet have heard, or been convinced, of the wonders of neti for allergy and sinus problem relief.  Thus, my presentation of this post.  

Here is an article from WebMD website.  Hopefully, being associated with a "MD", it will be given serious consideration by sinus and allergy sufferers.  This is not Eastern witchcraft folks.  It is basic physiology.  Cleanse your sinuses and keep them healthy and irritant free and they will be healthier and less reactive to pollens and allergens and other irritants.  Simple.

"Nasal Saline Irrigation and Neti Pots":http://www.webmd.com/allergies/sinus-pain-pressure-11/neti-pots

The article does not mention that you should always use kosher (non-iodized) salt (1/2 teaspoon per cup of water).  USE NON-IODIZED salt! It will not sting like iodized salt can.  Do not use sea salt!  It is full of other stuff you do not want in your sinuses.  

Your water should not be tap water due to chlorine content; use distilled, bottled, well-filtered, or boiled water.  Body or bath temperature water is recommended.  When your sinuses are really inflamed this may be too warm and a cooler water temp would be better to calm and de-flame your sinus tissues.

Rather than let your nose drain, and possibly splash, over the sink area, consider having a catch basin like an old food container to catch the used water as it exits.

Sometimes I am so plugged up in my sinuses I can not get any water to flow through my sinuses and I have to lay on my back for a few minutes and wait for a clearing to occur, then I rise and attempt it again.

Be sure to keep your neti pot clean and dry between uses.  You should check for residue and mold with a peek inside the pot before each use.

Next, here is a video demonstration so you can see it being done.  VIDEO: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EDSlUuAOnN0

See?  The person is NOT drowning.  Neither will you.  Do not inhale or you will feel like you are drowning.

Good luck and better breathing!

Checklist of holistic self-care healthy living ideas

You can do much to help yourself feel better, live longer, and heal faster while your chiropractic treatments are helping to restore proper joint, muscle, and nerve tone and balance. Here are several important considerations for you to apply to your lifestyle.

❒ Posture- You are either building structure or tearing it down. See: POSTURE

❒ Diet- Every cell in your body is depending on you to make wise and conscious decisions about what goes through your mouth and into your body.  This is especially true when you are in a healing state. Along with this, commit to safely losing any extra weight and then maintaining by wise and healthy habits.

❒  Exercise- “Have you ever heard the expression ‘Use it or lose it’?  Inactivity is as much of a health risk as smoking!” from www.healthdiscovery.net/  Intensity of exercise should be considerate of your injuries and the phases of healing.

❒ Sleep- “Sleep also supports healthy growth and development. Deep sleep triggers the body to release the hormone that promotes normal growth in children and teens. This hormone also boosts muscle mass and helps repair cells and tissues in children, teens, and adults. Sleep also plays a role in puberty and fertility.” from the website www.nhlbi.nih.gov Be sure to get a good bed.  Do some research. Most beds are good for only 6-8 years. See: SLEEP and Picking a MATTRESS

❒  Chair- With the number of hours we are seated in our society it makes sense that we need to take our sitting posture seriously. You will spare yourself a lot of pain and breakdown when you commit to developing healthy, functional sitting posture.  See: HEALTHY BACK

❒ Work habits- If your company has a department which can help you be ergonomically correct, enlist them! If not, do some research to find out what you can do to lower the stresses you feel while performing your job through assessing and correcting for awkward positions, repetitive motions, and imbalanced loads and maneuvers.  See: ERGONOMICS  Proper footwear and floor mats can also help a lot!

❒ Icing- “Cold therapy is recommended during the first one to three days after an injury (depending on its severity) in what's known as the “acute” phase of the injury. If swelling and inflammation aren't stopped or slowed, more extensive tissue damage may occur and the injury may take longer to heal. For instructions on use see: COLD THERAPY

❒ Stress- Stress reduction is a must!  We recommend that everyone find methods which work for them and incorporate them into your life on a regular basis.  For more ideas on beating stress go to:   BEAT STRESS   PS. Think positively, have some fun every day, and participate in social activities.

❒ Water- We have looked all around for the best, holistically oriented information on water intake and Dr. Mercola’s site came in first.  That said, don’t get carried away with all of it, just the parts which ring true to you: WATER

❒ Chemicals- Please see Environmental Working Group’s site for a wealth of information which "empowers people to live healthier lives in a healthier environment. We drive consumer choice and civic action with breakthrough research and an informed public.”  Go to: http://www.ewg.org/  Also, if you do use medications, use them wisely: see MEDICATIONS

Low Back Pain: An Ice Pack or the Hot Tub?

Please read this article and share it. The difference it makes to use the correct therapy is HUGE and may prevent further injury! I'll also add, NEVER stretch the part of your body that has been recently iced. Those tissues have become less pliable and will likely tear before stretching. Let the area warm up a good hour before attempting a gentle stretch.

This article is a re-post from Chiro-Trust .org:

"Many patients perform some self-care when they first hurt their lower back, hoping this will keep them out of a doctor’s office. While home remedies can sometimes make the pain go away, sometimes they don’t. It just depends on what you try. When the back is first hurt, it’s often a sprain/strain type of injury with accompanying muscle spasm. When a nerve in the low back gets pinched or irritated, the body will protect the delicate nerves by keeping you from moving and risking further nerve injury. The easiest way for the body to do this is to cause the back muscles to spasm in the injured area.

Muscle pain can be quite severe and heat can sometimes soothe muscle pain. For this reason, many patients take to the heating pad or to the hot tub to try and get some relief. This should be avoided in an acute injury because inflammation is present. With inflammation, there is increased heat and the additional heat you provide is like adding gasoline to a fire. The results are usually not good.

A better choice with an acute injury is to ice the area, but this also needs to be done with some caution. The simplest ice pack is ice cubes placed in a plastic bag. While effective, you can cause a frostbite injury if you leave the pack on for too long. When you first ice the area, you will go through several phases before some pain relief is achieved. At first, the pack will feel cold. The next phase is a burning sensation and the ice will almost feel hot. This is followed by an aching or throbbing sensation. Just before the area is numbed, a very sharp pain will be experienced followed by the relief you desire. It can take between five to ten minutes to go through all of the phases. Once numbness is achieved, the pack should be removed. You should most definitely not fall asleep while the pack is on.

If this simple procedure does not solve the problem, it’s best to get your spine checked by a doctor of chiropractic."

Some Antibiotics Linked to Serious Nerve Damage

CONSUMER ALERT

This article is being reposted because of personal contact with a local man who had been given a prescription of antibiotics to fight a sinus infection. Unfortunately, the drug prescribed happened to belong to this group of very dangerous antibiotics. After just three doses he was in a wheelchair.

Besides possible damage to connective tissues such as tendons, fluoroquinolones, a class of antibiotics commonly used to treat a variety of illnesses such as respiratory and urinary tract infections, "may cause sudden, serious, and potentially permanent nerve damage called peripheral neuropathy."

These medicines include ciprofloxacin (Cipro), gemifloxacin (Factive), levofloxacin (Levaquin), moxifloxacin (Avelox), norfloxacin (Noroxin), and ofloxacin (Floxin)

Basic Stretches for Gardening

Gardening can be enjoyable, but it is important to stretch your muscles before reaching for your gardening tools. The back, upper legs, shoulders, and wrists are all major muscle groups affected when using your green thumb. 

A warm-up and cool-down period is as important in gardening as it is for any other physical activity," said Dr. Scott Bautch of the American Chiropractic Association's (ACA) Council on Occupational Health. "Performing simple stretches during these periods will help alleviate injuries, pain and stiffness.”

Before a gardening session, make sure you have had plenty of water.  If not, have some right away and while you’re at it, grab some to take with you outside to have during your gardening.  Afterward, sit and relax with some additional water before rewarding yourself with that cola, coffee, beer or cocktail.

Two very important principles of stretching are: Do NOT force a stretch and NEVER bounce.  These behaviors actually cause your muscles to tighten more and may even tear one.  Stretch only as far and as you comfortably can.  Additionally, during any stretch, breathe in and out slowly and rhythmically; do not hold your breath.  Next, review our suggestions for proper stretching at this link:  STRETCH

Here is a good routine to warm up your muscles and joints before, during, and after your gardening session:

Ankles- draw circles with your toes in the air, one foot at a time, while balancing on the other foot- if you can; grab a stable object otherwise.  Next, point and flex your foot to target the front and back of your lower leg.  Hold 5 to 10 seconds.

Quadriceps-  (You may need a prop for balance)

1. Stand on one leg while grasping ankle or foot of opposite leg behind you.  Use a strap or loop a towel to cradle around your ankle if getting your leg up to your hand is difficult.

2. Slowly bring bent leg backward to meet the thigh with the knee pointing toward the floor. Hold 10 to 15 seconds.

Hamstrings-

1. Place one heel out in from of you while standing on the other leg, pointing your toe toward your shin OR...sit on the floor with one leg extended in front of you and the other leg bent with the foot in towards the thigh.

2. Push your buttocks back.   Keeping your back straight, lean forward, pivoting at the hip joint just until your feel the stretch in the back of the thigh.  Hold 10 to 15 seconds.

Hamstrings Curls- Walk in place, exaggerating the backwards motion of your lower leg towards your buttocks, shifting your weight from left to right, right to left for 10-15 seconds.

Gluteus (butt) muscles- 

Sitting or standing, pull one knee to your chest.

Gently pull your knee across your body toward the opposite shoulder.  Hold 10 to 15 seconds.

Sides- Reach up and across your forehead, feel the stretch along the side of the body and toward the spine.  Hold 10 to 15 seconds.

Lumbar Flexion and Extension- Slowly and carefully bend forward at your waist as if touching your toes.  Keep your knees soft.  Pay close attention to the pull on your back and hamstrings.  Make it a gentle, controlled stretch felt along your lower back.  Hold no longer than 5 seconds.

Place your hands on your upper buttocks, palm in.  Tightening your abdominal muscles, carefully lean back no more than 10-15 degrees.  Feel the stretching of your front and the tightening of the back.  Hold no longer than 3 seconds and repeat 3 to 5 times.

Shoulders- Roll your shoulders with a big, full motion, in a backwards direction.  Repeat 10 to 15 times.

Arm Circles- Rotate at the shoulder, first with elbows bent, then with straight arms.  Repeat 10 to 15 times.

Wrist Circles- Twirl your hands at the wrist in both directions.  Repeat 10 to 15 times.

Fingers- Clench and straighten your fingers several times.

*Just a word about fatigue: know your limits!  Resist the temptation to do “just one more thing” or “just a little more”.  Gardening while too fatigued may set you up for a sprain or strain that you would not have had otherwise.

NOTE: These exercises should only be performed after evaluation by a qualified professional. Should you experience pain or discomfort while doing an exercise, stop immediately. Follow only the exercises that your doctor has recommended to avoid the potential of further injury.

The Activator Chiropractic Technique

“I've seen Sharon specifically for her expertise in the Activator Method (which I find  more gentle and precise than traditional manual spinal manipulation)....When my back, neck, hips (or you name it is out of alignment)--she fixes it. If you're looking for a more personalized, custom and caring approach -- I definitely recommend trying them out.”

    Tina, Minnetonka

“I have had treatments with the Activator before and it didn’t help, but when you (Dr. Levin) used it, it’s a totally different experience.  It worked!  I left your office without pain!”

    Pat, Minnetonka

Activator Chiropractic Technique is one of possibly hundreds of chiropractic adjusting techniques developed over the 100 plus years of chiropractic’s history.  All these techniques have merit and are based on principles of physics, physiology, and biomechanics of the human body.  

To become proficient and “Proficiency Rated” in the technique, and earn the right to advertise yourself as a Proficiency Rated or Advanced Proficiency Rated Activator Practitioner, a chiropractor must attend official seminars and pass testing standards by AMI, Activator Methods International.  Drs. Levin and Chellen have done that and have used this technique for the majority of their almost 20 years in practice.

Standing Postures and Back Pain

Have you ever tried this neat little "trick"? It works!

Click here to read article: Back Pain

Sometimes the "slight discomfort" is not so slight and sometimes it is a first warning of a much bigger episode of debilitating back pain. Of course you also need to be keeping your back strong with exercise and by avoiding injurious postural habits. And, just like your periodic visits to a dentist for maintenance on your teeth, see a chiropractor for spinal realignments which keep your spine balanced and remove irritations which gradually develop.

Your DC (doctor of chiropractic) has extensive education in the diagnosis and treatment of muscular, skeletal, and nervous system disease and injury.  On top of that he/she can help you avoid problems and return to top functioning ASAP by teaching you many simple techniques as that mentioned above.

At Levin and Chellen Chiropractic we pride ourselves in returning you to the joy of life with as little treatment as possible.  One of our mottos is, "Our Goal is to Help You Need Us Less!"  For a complimentary consultation to see if we could help you with your concern call us at (952) 474-17 seven seven

Headaches in Children

As an intern during my chiropractic training I was presented with a young girl of 9 years. She was not comfortable with adjustments, even with Activator adjustments. Oh well. So, she would let me do soft tissue work/ trigger point therapy and this "did the trick'! Her headaches went away completely! 

Since then we, Dr. Levin and I, have treated a huge number of headache sufferers. Most are adults, some children. I would say that 99.99% of them have had great relief, long term and short term. One key is the soft tissue/ muscle work we do along with the adjustments. Bound up muscles and fascia is very often involved and this must be addressed. Quite often postural habits need to be looked into and corrected. Once in a while it is necessary to look much deeper at the diet and food sensitivities, allergies and such. Our investigation is thorough and professional. More serious possible causes are always considered.

Bob from Edina writes, "I was having migraines a couple times a week and now I have no migraines. I addition, my back pain is much reduced. I did not believe in chiropractic but this man has made me believe."    Thanks Bob!
