Michael Soldberg of Plano Texas gives a great description of our work. Structural Integration is about getting the body unified and integrated within gravity and not just myofascially lengthening tight connective tissue. SI can realign twisted vertebrae, bulging discs, and relieve painful backs. He gives a great description of how SI can be used alongside chiropractic.
Uric Acid is the root of all evil. But it would not be such a problem for our body if we cut down on our sugar consumption – primarily fructose, the leading cause of uric acid in the blood. The early stages of disease are vascular lesions which lead to hypertension and kidney disfunction, and the end result is diabetes and fatty liver disease and eventually death by heart disease. By limiting our exposure to fructose we take a huge leap to restoring normal uric acid in our blood, healing our kidneys and liver, healing our small vascular arteries and veins and allowing our pancreas to function without increased strain.
So stop all consumption of any processed food product that contains any of the high fructose family – any ingredient that ends in “tose”. (Maltose, dextrose, etc.) Limit your exposure to high fructose fruits like figs, mangos, grapes, raisins and apricots.
And you may be thinking about the direct link of exercise to these health risks – fructose destroys our natural energy system of the cells of our body and leaves us feeling exhausted. Cut out the fructose and you will feel your energy return and have the desire to move and exercise again.
Fascia is the all pervasive collagenous fibered connective tissue that holds our body together. It is designed in a way that it can adapt to movement and still make sure all body parts still return to their original form. Thus known as the organ of form. It is made up of collagen, ground substance water and fat which work together to make the ’sliding system’ — the body’s interconnected system of loose connective tissue. It can become deformed in an aberrant way causing pain in joints, muscles, poor movement patterns and aweful posture. Take a look at these clips from the video “Strolling Under The Skin” by Dr. Jean Claude Guimberteau, a plastic and hand surgeon. All the images are from living tissue giving us an unprecedented view of what is sliding under our skin.
There seems to be two types of people – those that survive well on carbs and those that survive well on fats. So how are we to know who we are unless we keep track of everything we eat and somehow manage to figure out which causes us to gain weight. Did I mention that if you eat the wrong foods you are going to get fat? Well you are.
Reuters science section informs us that Interleukin has a new genetic test to reveal which type of genes we have that affect metabolism.
“The potential of using genetic information to achieve this magnitude of weight loss without pharmaceutical intervention would be important in helping to solve the pervasive problem of excessive weight in our society,” Christopher Gardner at Stanford University in California, who worked on the study, said in a statement.
Massachusetts-based Interleukin’s $149 test looks for mutations in three genes, known as FABP2, PPARG and ADRB2.
The company says 39 percent of white Americans have the low-fat genotype, 45 percent have the type that responds best to a diet low in processed carbohydrates and an unlucky 16 percent have gene mutations that mean they have to watch both fat and processed carbohydrates.
