Get Off your ACHE that is...

While massage is commonly believed to be the best modality for relieving muscle soreness, emerging evidence suggests that actively warming up the muscles with exercise may be an effective alternative.  Lars L. Andersen, from the National Research Center for the Working Environment (The Netherlands), and colleagues recruited 20 women to do a shoulder exercise while on a resistance machine.  The women shrugged their shoulders while the machine applied resistance, which engaged the trapezius muscle between the neck and shoulders.  Two days later, the women came back to the lab with aching trapezius muscles, and they received a 10-minute massage on one shoulder and did a 10-minute exercise on the other shoulder. The exercise again involved shoulder shrugs; this time the women gripped an elastic tube held down by their foot to give some resistance. The team found that, as compared to the shoulder that wasn't getting any attention, massage and exercise each helped diminish muscle soreness.  The effect peaked 10 minutes after each treatment, with women reporting a reduction in their pain of 0.8 points after the warm up exercise and 0.7 points after the massage. The study authors write that: “Coaches, therapists and athletes can use either active warm-up or massage to reduce [delayed onset muscle soreness]  acutely, e.g. before competition or strenuous work, but should be aware that the effect is temporary, i.e. the greatest effects occurs during the first 20 min after treatment and diminishes within an hour.”

 

Remember also that exercise has MANY other benefits besides reduction of soreness including: stress reduction. weight loss, cardiac and pulmonary conditioning, sleep improvements and much more.  ALSO the body if put through full range of motion has the amazing ability to align itself!

 

I recommend a minimum of 30 minutes of sustained cardio activity at least 5 days per week.

Yeah yeah yeah....you think you are saving money and getting a deal right?  Instead of coming to us or another health professional and getting ripped off by paying "full price" you buy your supplements on Amazon or another global "marketplace" and you think you are getting MY products but you are NOT.  Counterfeit supplements are a huge business according to the manufacturers and the FDA.  One manufacturing source I spoke to yesterday said: "We have actually had to hire a firm whose only responsibility is to police the bootleg sale of our products on the internet. We only sell to licensed health care professionals and they must uphold strict agreements as to distribution and pricing. We do our best but cannot prevent unethical counterfeit and potentially dangerous product from being sold out there."
 

 

She continued: " All of our customers must present a valid medical license to purchase product and to distribute our products. Again, she maintained: unfortunately we cannot prevent the resale of misrepresented FAKE, stolen or discarded goods or the sale of counterfeit product. "   
I have confirmed that this is the case with each excellent brand that we distribute.  Each manufacturer has been forced to hire a team to manage and conviscate counterfeit and bootleg products but it is a losing battle for the most part. 
With my own clients it has become clear that when they buy product on their own their program mysteriously stops working....hmmmm must be the quality.
 
 Why is this happening?
 
Counterfeiting anything is a huge global business scam.  The supplement industry has grown exponentially in the past twenty years and is a legitimite area of consumer demand.
Anyone with a scanner can counterfeit and mass market supplements.
Damaged, discarded stock is often pirated and resold to greedy consumers looking for a "deal".
US consumers have an inflated sense of entitlement and therefore believe that they are somehow deserving of pricing that is "too good to be true." 
In fact, they are buying scam counterfeit "product" at prices that I could not obtain even if I bought an entire pallet directly from the manufacturer.
Regulatory agencies do not regulate.  According to reps at the FDA and FTC the global market is pretty much the "wild west" and very little is being done due to the shear amount of counterfeit goods appearing daily.
Counterfeiters profit by feeding on an all too prevalent sense of entitlement in our culture.  You are lured by the promise of an unbelievable bargain when in reality you are being manipulated into getting a counterfeit product, a discarded, perished or damaged product or one that is not safe to consume.
 
While I am not here to save you from yourself, we have thought out a viable way to help you SAVE significantly on our wonderful products.
 
Here at Apple-A-Day-Clinic.com it actually PAYS to get and be WELL.
See for Yourself:
 
 
 
 
Our scheduled Springfling article will publish next week.  Our site will update again shortly for June.

   Most people recognize obvious sources of stress here are hidden sources you may not even be aware of...

 

*Our own distorted thoughts and attitudes can turn on plenty of stress and stressful emotions. Often folks don't notice they are looking at the world through negative thoughts which are making their world tense and stressful.  See our article:  How does negativity affect your health here:

*Many people greatly stress themselves by failing to get 7 to 8 hours of sleep per day.  This turns on stress and inflammation.  A routine is vitally important to physical and emotional health and is far less stressful than chaos.

*Our diets can be great stress and inflammation makers.  Too many simple carbs, processed foods, sugar, and fats can bring on stress and inflammation.  Eating well from a wide variety
of healthy fats like Omega 3's, veggies, fruits, nuts, grains, and proteins can reduce the hidden stress of poor eating habits.

*Not taking the time to relax can increase stress.  See our relaxation methods the Longevity Maneuver and the the Dive Reflex Manuever for potent ways to stimulate the vagus nerve and turn on natural relaxation.

*Not getting enough exercise leads to higher stress.  Aerobic exercise and strength training both help stress proof us.

*Overwork.   In the US people seem to work too much. I am surprised and dismayed at the number of people who contact me on my days off and personal time.  Keep to your work schedule. 
 
*Limit time spent with technology and heaven forbid...media  enough said.


*Take care of your emotional life. Do emotional writing,  meditate, spend time with nature, rockclimb, beach ealk,  do yoga whatever works for you. 

*Exercise reduces stress. Walking and other forms of aerobic exercise are winners. Use high intensity interval training for short periods. Avoid "over-exercise" or exercising past your ability to recover. 



*Enjoy pleasurable activities and humor. 

*Stay in connection with your friends and have long chats. 

*Avoid smoking/nicotine, substance abuse, drinking more than 1 or 2 alcoholic beverages per day, and tanning. All are stress producing. 

*Avoid foods high in sugar, and simple carbs. Avoid processed foods. They all contribute to body-wide glycolization, oxidative stress, inflammation and stress. 

*Greatly limit red meats, fried foods, saturated fats, high fructose corn syrup, and trans-fats. They high in "yang" or "hot energy which is very extreme for the body.

*Get proper nutrition based on whole foods. Eat enough B-vitamins and wide-spectrum and bio-available
antioxidants from a wide variety of colorful fruits, veggies, legumes, nuts, and white meats.
 
 
*Take the right supplements, vitamins and herbs for your body.  If you do not know which are right for you schedule ONE appointment and find out or visit our natural product phamacy for recommendations on professional vitamins and herbs.


*Take on a lifestyle that says no to obesity and excess body fat. 

Caffeine. No more than two cups of coffee per day because too much caffeine will have negative "stress and anxiety"  effects.

*Treat underlying illnesses....not feeling well is a great source of stress. 

*Stress can be environmental too.  Avoid air, water, and ground toxic pollution.    Avoid heavy metals such as lead, mercury, aluminum, arsenic, cadmium.  If you think you may have high levels contact us for testing and a protocol for removal...Cost about $150.00
 Watch those non-green household cleaners and disinfectants. Some are worse than germs. Avoid excito-toxins like MSG. Be wary of living near power lines, large generators, and microwave stations. Avoid environmental toxins like chlorine bleach, petrol fumes, insecticides, paints, flame retardant chemicals, industrial solvents, and pesticides. All contribute to environmental stress. 

*Have a medical doctor diagnose hidden diseases like herpes, untreated stds, and auto-immune dysfunctions. These are stressful and inflammatory.  

*Have regular dental checkups, get your teeth cleaned regularly, and get periodontal disease treated immediately. 

*Treat major short-term infections and diseases like the flu. 

 
*Recognize and treat underlying depression, anger, and anxiety--these cause much stress.  Acupuncture is a wonderful way to balance underlying distress.  Try one visit or commit to a package...

*Be aware of any medication that lowers your body's nutrients and antioxidants, and many do. This can be stressful. 

*Avoid  toxins like chlorine bleach, petrol fumes, insecticides, paints, flame retardant chemicals, industrial solvents, pesticides, water pollution, and dry cleaning fluids. 


To your good health

                Acne affects many people at some point and is a 1.5 billion dollar a year industry.

 

Acne affects many of us at some point in our lives, yet doctors haven't made a lot of progress in creating new ways to treat it. Some people may have chronic acne problems, some people never do. Now UCLA researchers are optimistic their new discovery about who gets acne could lead to an effective anti-acne tool.

 

Acne is more than just a teenage thing. For some people it never goes away. It affects self esteem and can cause physical as well as emotional scarring. For many this scarring lasts a lifetime.

UCLA researchers wanted to find out why some people get pimples and others don't. They studied 50 patients and for the first time examined acne at the molecular level.

"We looked down inside pores. We sequenced every bit of DNA from those microbes, and so we compared acne patients and healthy patients," said Dr. Noah Craft, Harbor-UCLA Medical Center.

Principal investigator Dr. Craft says that in the oily depths of pores of people with severe acne, they made a unique discovery: two strains of bacteria called Propionibacterium or P. acnes.

"And what we found were bad strains of bacteria in the acne patients.

 

These bad strains of bacteria are thought to be responsible for the inflammation and scarring.

 

We are doing this testing at our office with excellent results so don't delay call us today! Read more about our results here.

 

I also have my own renowned line of reasonably priced highly rated acne products right here!

          Special Report

 

The Dioxin Surprise for Whole Foods and Consumers.

 

Dioxin, is a pesticide linked to MANY health problems.

 

California Files Lawsuit Against Whole Foods, Avalon, and Others Whose Products Tested Positive for Carcinogenic 1,4-Dioxane in OCA Study

  • Organic Consumers Association, 6/10/2008

For immediate release: Interviews with David Steinman or Ronnie Cummins can be arranged by contacting Adam Eidinger at 202-744-2671.

OAKLAND, CA - Reacting in part to a study released by the Organic Consumers Association (OCA) in March of this year, but also based on their own testing, the Attorney General of California has filed a major lawsuit against body care household-cleaning product companies whose products recently tested highest for the carcinogenic contaminant 1,4-Dioxane.   

Under California's "Proposition 65" consumer products that contain toxic levels of 1,4 Dioxane must have warning labels stating they may cause cancer.  1,4-Dioxane is typically produced as a byproduct when ingredients are ethoxylated with the petrochemical ethylene oxide, a process which has become standard practice for many cleansing and moisturizing products.  

The suit, California v. Avalon Natural Products (manufacturer of the Alba brand), also names Whole Foods Market California (manufacturer of the Whole Foods 365 brand), Beaumont Products (manufacturer of the Citrus Magic brand), and Nutribiotic (read full Attorney General suit here). It is unclear exactly which products manufactured by the aforementioned companies triggered the lawsuit, but all named companies have sold products that tested close to or in excess of 20 parts per million for 1,4-Dioxane in the OCA study released at the Natural Products Expo in Anaheim, CA in March (read study results here).

Last week OCA sent a letter to the four companies named in the California lawsuit to see if they are planning changes to their labeling or product formulations.  Only one company responded.  In a letter to the OCA, Beaumont Products wrote, "Upon being notified that there was a problem with our product, we verified that the problem existed, then took immediate action." Beaumont has reformulated their products to remove the problematic ingredient, highlighting their dedication to providing safe products, in contrast to the lack of action taken by the other three companies. http://www.organicconsumers.org/bodycare/beaumont.doc)

The California Attorney General (AG) alleges these companies should have put warning labels on products containing high levels of 1,4-Dioxane, stating that they may cause cancer. The lawsuit states, "Plaintiff alleges that  each defendant has known since at least May 29, 2004 that the body washes and gels and liquid dish soaps contain, 1,4-dioxane and that persons using these products are exposed to 1,4-dioxane."  Per Proposition 65, fines for mislabeled products are as high as $2,500 per day for each violation.  FAQs about 1,4-Dioxane can be found here.

"These companies need to stop treating the inclusion of cancer causing chemicals in their products as 'business as usual' and reformulate before consumer confidence in the natural products and organics industry is permanently damaged," says consumer activist David Steinman who conducted the OCA study and originally exposed the presence of 1,4-Dioxane in baby bubble bath products in his book Safe Trip to Eden and in a February, 2007 press conference with the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics. (The press release can be found here .)

The AG's complaint  states that California wants, "…preliminary injunctions, permanent injunctions, or other orders prohibiting the defendant(s) from exposing persons within the State of California to 1,4-dioxane without providing clear and reasonable warnings…"

"The OCA's 1,4-dioxane study elevated the issue of fake 'natural' and 'organic' brands that utilize petrochemicals in their formulas in March, and now we are seeing labeling enforcement on a scale never seen before," says OCA National Director Ronnie Cummins. "We used an independent laboratory and found that numerous 'natural' and 'organic' brands tested positive for 1,4-Dioxane, a cancer causing contaminant resulting from the petrochemical ethylene oxide being attached to one or more ingredients."

 
Kudos to the state of California for holding companies accountible for providing what is labeled on their products.  I hope this is a continuing trend across the country.

The human gut is a deep reservoir of hundreds of thousands of organisms, both good and bad and probiotics are those few friendly microorganisms that do more good than harm to your body...most of the time.... Probiotics not only assist in digestion, but also destroy the dangerous bacteria in your intestines. What's more, probiotics if used properly can help boost the balance of intestinal microflora in your gut and have been therapeutically used to treat a host of digestive and other ailments. However, there is a downside to these friendly bacteria as well. To discover more on the down side and possible side effects of probiotics,
read on...
 
Risks Of Probiotics ...Really?
Overuse of any substance causes problems.  Overuse of probiotics causes "habitation" or resistance....possibly when you need them most....
The human body simply put stops recognizing nutrients or supplements that are available too often.  Familiarity breeds contempt...apparently one of the laws of the Universe.  Overuse manifests as no use at all, often.
 
One of the biggest risks of probiotics is to your pocketbook as the vast majority of OTC products do not implant properly in the gut and therefore only live a matter of hours.
  • Agreed, regular consumption of friendly ‘probiotics' like yogurt and acidophilus milk if you tolerate dairy can offer some people  relief against lactose intolerance or occasional constipation and even ameliorate flatulence and bloating. However, in some cases, probiotics  set off their own adverse reactions and can cause severe digestive problems cramps and bloating and even inflammation if not handled properly.
  • Although probiotics are known to aid digestion, help a leaky gut and even boost body immunity, consuming probiotics in excess can trigger severe abdominal cramps in some cases. People with poor immune systems may be intolerant to probiotics and they might cause them more harm than good.  People with autoimmune problems should not treat themselves with probiotics as they can worsen their conditions.
  • People with impaired immune systems are also at a high risk of developing fungal infections. In such cases, it is best to choose a probiotics strain that is best suited for your health based on proper testing which I do frequently.
  • Although probiotics are consumed to defend the digestive system from the incursions of harmful bacteria, at times probiotic intolerance might lead to overstimulation of the immune system. In addition to aggravating the autoimmune responses of the body, probiotics may also disrupt the normal metabolic processes in the body.
  • A rare but life-threatening side effect of consuming probiotics is intestinal infection. People with underlying diseases or compromised immune systems like those suffering from AIDS or patients undergoing chemotherapy suffer the risk of acquiring intestinal infections after consuming probiotics. Some of the common symptoms of intestinal infections are fever, skin rashes, and bloody stools.
  • People who have just started using a GOOD  probiotic often complain of a mild, dizzying headache during the first few days. However, decreasing the probiotics dosage  has been found to deal with the situation effectively.
  • Apart from intestinal and fungal infections, probiotics have been known to bring on large numbers of bacterial and yeast infections that can be only cured with antibiotics.
  • Medical studies conducted reveal that probiotics might interact with immunosuppressive drugs triggering life-threatening complications. People who are on immunosuppressive medications should therefore strictly stay away from ingesting probiotics. 
Although clinical trials have confirmed that probiotics Can be good for the body, not all types of probiotics are suited for all and have may their own pitfalls, with flatulence, bloating and infections being some of the recurrent side effects of probiotics.
Recommendations? Please visit the Probiotic aisle and Digestion aisle of our natural products pharmacy.
 
I have just completed most of the work on a new Facebook site which will be published shortly..Then I will be back to revamping this site. Above is our new trademark.
