Self care for pain free body

by

Below are some simple things you can do and use to get your body to be and stay pain free.

Use herbal medicine to help your body heal faster!

Sinew Therapeutics makes lotions and soaks from proven Chinese herbal medicine. Unlike traditional Eastern medicine where drugs treat symptoms, their products can actually heal problems.   You can see their products by visiting their website here.   If you are in pain how with a new injury, you can get their “Sinew Warming Soak”.  Then rub their Acute Sinew Liniment on the area 2-3 times a day to speed up healing.

If you are having chronic pain that is no longer swollen, then use their Sinew Relaxing Soak and the Chronic Sinew Liniment.

Self massage using one of the best foam rollers.

Foam rolling is a way to self massage. While typical foam rollers are just round, our bodies have many grooves, bumps, and pointy spots!  So there is a company that figured out how to make a better foam roller. You can see the types they have here.    Their rollers have specific grooves that aloows you to get the right massage pressure without aggravating the joints.

They even have an app that teaches you how to use the foam roller! You can go to the app store and search for Rollga. If you can’t find it, a simple search on youtube for “how to foam roll _____” (fill in the blank with the bodypart you want to self massage) will do the trick.

Relieve your pain now

If you are in pain and you want a way to decrease the pain without drugs and side effects. You can use a TENS unit. It’s a small portable device that uses electrical currents to distract your brain from feeling pain.  You can get on online HERE.

You can put the electrical pads on the spots where you feel pain. Then simply turn the machine on and feel the pain relief.  By blocking the pain signal, it helps the muscles in the area relax. That then helps your body heal faster.

So put these strategies into action and HEAL FASTER!

kill germs in your body

by

You live symbiotically with over 8 pounds of bacteria in and on your body.

The bacteria is essential for your life. They help produce and absorb vitamins necessary for your health and optimal function of your cells. They protect your body from infection. Think of it as a first line of defense for your immune function. They even affect your genetics and can turn on and off your genes…

 

So what happens when you take antibiotics?

Well, the antibiotics do not have the capabilities to only kill and “bad” bacteria. The very same pill designed to help you will also harm you by killing the “good” bacteria as well.

Also, they now know that some of the “bad” bacteria have gotten smart. They form a shield around themselves to protect them from the antibacterial medications. This makes the medicines ineffective.

With each repeated bout of using antibiotics, your body can potentially become more and more weakened and more susceptible to infections and illness. As your good bacteria diminishes, it can cause brain fog (yes, the bacteria in your gut communicates with your brain). It can cause low energy levels from lack of B vitamins (they help make theses).

As your good bacteria diminishes, it can cause brain fog (yes, the bacteria in your gut communicates with your brain). It can cause low energy levels from lack of B vitamins (they help make theses).

It can cause low energy levels from lack of B vitamins (they help make theses).

It can lead to autoimmune diseases (yes, this has been linked…)

So what can you do?

Well, first you can use something natural to kill the bad bacteria in your body. This natural ingredient can even break down the shield and penetrate the defenses of the tricky bacteria to kill them. Following the use of this ingredient, you can then replenish your “good” bacteria.

 

Here is a protocol I like to use:

For the first 10 days:

  1. Orally, use oregano oil you can buy here and take 3 capsules a day with food.
  2. Then get Collodial silver here.  You want to use the drops orally twice a day (full dropper of it).
  3. Then pour some of the silver into this nasal spray bottle here and spray your nostrils 3 times a day with 2 sprays each time in each nostril. This will kill the bacteria in your sinus cavity

 

Then for at least 30 continuous days:

  1. Get this oral probiotic here and take 1 a day.
  2. Get this probiotic here and CHEW it after brushing your teeth. This will help with the bacteria in your oral and sinus cavity.

After the 30 days, you should continue to take these on a daily basis:

  1. If you are a man, take this probiotic here daily.
  2. If you are a woman, take this probiotic here.

 

OK, as you use this protocol, you are assuring that your immune system will be optimized from a “first line of defense” perspective.

 

If you are feeling sick, you can use the Wellness Formula here

If you already have some severe gut problems, try using this colostrum here. It’s one of the best things you can take to help heal your gut and decrease inflammation in your body.

Lastly, you can scientifically see what amounts of “good” versus “bad” bacteria you have in your body. I had this test done over 10 years ago and the cost was over $1600. Now, that test is less than $100. You can get the test done here.

 

If you want to be super scientific about this, you can pre test and post test. Meaning, get the test done before the protocol and then post test to see what effects it had on your gut bacteria.

OK, Now take ACTION and apply this information to your body.

Enjoy!

 

reduce inflammation in your body

by

Below are supplements I would recommend to get to reduce inflammation in your body

Curcumin 95% Natural Turmeric Extract Powder (1/8 tsp / 400 mg per serving)

Chondroitin Sulfate Powder  (1/3 tsp / 1500mg per serving)

D-Glucosamine Sulfate Potassium Powder (1/3 tsp 1200 mg per serving)

Quercetin Dihydrate Powder (1/8 tsp 500mg per serving)

Stevia Extract Powder (a dash)

Hydrolyzed Collagen (Bovine) Powder (1 tsp 3 g per serving)

 

Melt 1 tablespoon of coconut oil in a small cup and then take all the ingredients above and mix with a 1/2 tsp of cacao powder ( you can order on Amazon or get at any local health food store or Whole Foods). Mix it all and drink it 2 x a day.

The mix of ingredients will decrease systemic inflammation and help support joint function.

 

Some of the ingredients will work within day but many will take 4-6 weeks to work. So be patient! However, this is MUCH better than some of the pharmaceutical options out there.

As you combine this with the practice of self love (taking it easy), you will start to feel amazing.per

NOw if you want to supercharge the formula above, you can add in Celadrin pills and lotion. Celadrin is a mix of 5 fats that has research proven results to decrease inflammation and speed up healing. You can get the lotion on Amazon HERE and the pills HERE.
