Magnesium is one of those minerals that is mega important for the health of your muscles and the most important automatic muscle, your heart. If you click on the title above, it will take you to a great article on the subject. I always recommend that if you take magnesium as a supplement as opposed to getting it naturally in your food, that you take it with Calcium. The two work synergistically to be absorbed into your system.

Meningitis Vaccine
My son had to get 3 more vaccines for 7th grade today. One of them, which was new to me, is the Meningitis vaccine. The meningus bacteria (there are many strains) are VERY bad for your health. I knew that part. And with the waning effectiveness of the anti-biotics, it could be even more so.
As you've heard me say a million times on here-the best defense is a strong immune system as a foundation. When you do inevitably pick up a virus or bacteria, your body can resist it on it's own, with proper rest, etc. of course. But this bacteria is deadly. The link above takes you to Dr. Andrew Weil's site. He believes the vaccine to be safe. I like Dr. Weil because he's a compromise between allopath and holistic. His values are holistic and he's not a "yes man". But his training is traditional allopathic-so he knows how these guys think.
My son does have a strong immune system because he was breastfed and given minimal antibiotics as a child. The constant hammering of anti-biotic use ruins your immune system-especially a child's. Anti-biotic means against the body. They are medicines that are against the body, not for the body.
What IS for the body? A happy frame of mind, excercise, balanced, low calorie diet, astragalus root, certain supplements if you're low on certain ones. You can find this out at http://www.cronometer.com and Pro-biotics. Hand washing and not touching your face is a good idea, but the viruses are so virulent that you just breath them in floating in the air. You can't avoid breathing! But you can avoid groups of people if there is a particularly nasty bug going around. That is not a bad idea at all.

Preventative Medicine Budget
The season is changing from very warm to cool. With that, the virus's start to multiply coming up out of the ground, into the air, as do many microorganisms. It's true that holding a positive, happy mindset that is centered in your authentic self (your true feelings) holds the most value for health. But is also true that there are certain supplements that are beneficial to have on hand when the virus's start to circulate, to shore you up. Part of living the holistic life is planning ahead. "Forewarned is forearmed" as they say. If you know that for every year of your life you've been challenged by the bugs that circulate, then plan for it this season. Plan to be well. Plan for people to say, "Why aren't you sick when everyone else is?" and feeling very positive and empowered with a smile on your face.
Getting sick is like getting drunk. When you're around a bunch of alcoholics, they expect you to be drunk and addicted to alcohol too or they'll diss you and try to make you feel guilty for not affirming their alcoholism by being one yourself. That is also true of being a sober, centered, holistic person. It's pretty anti-social to be healthy and happy, consistently... let's face it. So, if you're on for this carnival ride to personal well-being, the supplements to get are:

- Turmeric Root for inflammation

Opening The Door
I use energy balancing along with medical massage and manual therapy in my clinic. Most people have not experienced the feeling of Reiki or energy balancing on their body. Reiki means universal life force and is function of nature, like the wind, electricity, and electro-magnetism. You can feel what I'm doing with you even though my hands are not touching you. It's like the wind blowing on your face. The usual sensations are heat, warmth, tingling, prickles, waves, floating, cool, or deep relaxation.
I use the energy balancing to open up the flow of "qi" in the flesh so I can "get in there" and effect a change to the deeper layers of tissue during manual therapy. I have to do this because your mind believes that you are predominantly a dense, flesh, physical body. Ha!!!! Essentially, when you have stress, anxiety, worry, pain in the flesh, it's like pounding on a door you perceive to be locked, in a room that you want to leave. You don't believe there's a doorknob and a handle. In addition, you think that all there is is the room you're in.
I know how to see the doorknob, lightly push on the handle, and open your door (your body) to your/our connection to Source, from whence you came. It's not that hard folks. But I have studied it and know what I'm doing. You don't need to pound on your door or freak out over life. When you're on my table, please relax and be open to receiving all the well-being that naturally flows through the Universe and through us. Healing is a pleasure, life is a pleasure, the body is a pleasure if you just press lightly on the door handle, open the door, and walk through.

Insurance Billing
I am now billing Auto Owners Insurance for anyone that has had an auto accident and sustained injuries that cause chronic pain. If your Dr. has let you know that s/he supports massage therapy for pain, bring in the Rx with the diagnostic codes and I'll bill it. If you'd like your Dr. to support massage therapy, come and see me and we'll talk. I do medical massage/manual therapy which is specifically tailored for pain relief. You don't need to go through life with disabling pain that interrupts your life. There is treatment for it.
Please bring:
* Your ins. card
* The Doctor's prescription
* The HICFAA diagnostic codes with frequency and number of treatments
You will not pay anything for these treatments.
For other conditions, if you have health ins., I will need you to bring in the same things. The Dr. can precribe medical massage for:
*Sciatica
*Headaches
*Scar tissue
*Disc problem
*Muscle pain
*FMS
*Migraine
*CTS
and more.... Just call me to find out. I will tell you if I don't think I can help you. I will bill your ins. and we'll see if they cover it. If not, I will only ask for 1/2 of the cash price from you. In the meantime, you will definitely feel better.

Stimulating the Powerful Healing Mechanisms in the Body
Sometimes...what is so simple and powerful is no work at all. Feeling sort of slow and lazy these days? Well, while you're sitting on the couch or the floor vegg'ing out, be aware that what you're meditating on, thinking about, focusing on is either releasing healing hormones into your body to help you feel better, or painful ones to make you feel worse.
Our minds never stand still. Observe that that you are listening, talking, etc. all the time. Do you have a silent opinion or feeling that you would never say as you're listening to the baby near you wail, someone ranting or complaining, or playing loud music? Well, maybe you'd say it on Facebook-right? Or do you have a penchant to be empathic with people, passive, quiet, a listener, intuitive? Some people have chronic negative self talk where they are down on themselves all the time. This will make you seriously ill and leads to addiction. We have a natural way of being but we can also train ourselves to respond to life differently so that we'll feel better.
The above link will take you to a meditation site that educates you about hormones that are released in the body that can heal. There is NO DRUG, NO SURGERY, no Dr.'s treatment that is more powerful than your conscious choice, directing your continual mental focus on what...you...want. It is your life's work to SAY what you want and then give it continual attention. Nurture you heart felt vision, your dream. It may just make you well.
