Inversion Therapy for Herniated or Bulging Disc

If you’ve been diagnosed with a herniated or bulging disc, you definitely should look into inversion therapy. Inversion therapy has long history of helping people eliminate back and sciatic pain caused by disc problems like herniated disk, bulging disc, degenerative disc disease and more. In fact, inversion has been used for nearly 2000 years and has millions of success stories.

Herniated Discs

Herniated Discs: What They Are and What You Can Do About Them
By Jesse Cannone and Steve Hefferon
What is a herniated disc?

The funny thing is, the medical community has not standardized the term for a common spinal condition. So, if you’ve been told you have a herniated disc, a slipped disc, a prolapsed disc, a bulging disc, a ruptured disc or even degenerative disc disease, it’s essentially the same thing. The terminology just depends on who you’re talking to.
Technically, a herniated disc occurs when the outermost part of the disc begins to weaken and the inner soft part starts to press outward. Most people don’t even know they have a herniated disc until the herniation is touching the nerve. And, yes, you can have a herniated disc and not have pain.

What causes a herniated disc?

The two most common reasons for a disc to herniate are trauma and muscle imbalances. Muscle imbalances to what are called “postural dysfunctions.” These dysfunctions put abnormal pressure on the disc that will cause increased wear and tear over time. Eventually, the weak spot will give way and make contact with the nerve, bringing you pain.
The most important thing to understand about herniated discs is that, barring trauma, they do not happen overnight. You may be come symptomatic very quickly, but it takes a long time for conditions to be right for the nerve to be put under enough pressure to cause pain.

What are the symptoms of herniated disc?

Complaints range from local pain to radiating pain. Depending on where the herniation is, you may experience arm pain or leg pain.
Loss of bowel or bladder control is deemed a medical emergency, so you should get to the emergency room as quickly as possible if either of these things happen to you.

What are the most common treatments for herniated discs?

Common treatments include cortisone injections, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), hot packs, ultrasound, electrical stimulation, and therapeutic exercises.
There are more than a handful of surgical procedures for a herniated disc, all of which have two main goals: to take pressure off the nerve and stabilize the joints.

Why do traditional herniated disc treatments fail?

Most traditional treatments fail because they simply address the symptoms and fail to address the cause of the condition. Your herniated disc is a physical problem, and it requires a physical solution. There are no pills or injections that can create postural balance in your body, which is what is necessary to reduce the pressure on the nerve.

Which herniated disc treatments work best?

A herniated disc is a very complicated condition and most people get the best results when they combine multiple treatment approaches together. For example, Inversion Therapy can be very effective but it works even better when you also perform Muscle Balance Therapy.
Herniated Disc is by far one of the most common conditions associated with chronic back pain and most people get the best results when they combine multiple treatment approaches together.
The first step is to make sure you get the very best and most up to date information you can on the condition, including your own experimentation with what you can tolerate and what works best for you. The second step is to find the best experts you can regarding the subject.
Having a comprehensive plan to control, controlling Oxidative stress and Systemic Inflammation, is vitally important to controlling pain, so here are some considerations to start with are drinking clean water, Proteolytic Enzymes Therapy, changing your eating habits, believing that you will achieve the comfort level you desire and having a spiritual guide can be the basics of your program.
Every one with a Herniated Disc has Trigger Points and everyone should have a way to administer self trigger point Therapy everyday to them self, immediately followed by and combine with Muscle Balance Therapy to restore balance and proper function of the muscles and joints.
Herniated Disc respond very well to most forms or spinal decompression and Inversion Therapy is a viable option for Herniated Disc suffers based on the many overall healthy benefits it has been shown to help with, just to mention a few improved circulation, stress reduction, improved range of motion.
Learn to take time for your self and relax, with the use of far-infrared heat, it can help immensely, it is deep penetrating and dramatically improves the blood flow to the area in question for very quick relief and improved range of motion.
Top 3 Ways to Treat Herniated Discs:

50 Years of Back Pain Gone in Just Days!

Jerry Talisman had suffered from chronic back pain on and off for over 50 years. Like most people, he had tried it all… chiropractors, physical therapy, he even overdosed on tylenol but nothing gave him lasting relief until he discovered muscle balance therapy.
Unlike most treatments which only deliver temporary relief, if any at all, muscle balance therapy delivers lasting relief to 8 out of 10 people who use it because it addresses the underlying cause of the pain, not just the symptoms.
If you suffer from any type of back pain, neck pain or sciatica, I urge you to learn more about this breakthrough new treatment. Click here to learn more…

Bodybuilding and Back Pain

“Bodybuilding Sins” That Cause Back Pain and Missed Workouts : Part 2


by Jesse Cannone, CFT, CPRS  and Steve Hefferon, CMT

Welcome to article number 2 in our series “Bodybuilding Sins That Cause Back Pain and Missed Workouts”. In this article we are going to talk about how bodybuilders tend to create massive muscle imbalances and what you can do to not be one of them.
If you missed the first article, you can read it by clicking on the link below.
Here's a breakdown of the articles to look for:
  1. Article #1 - Choosing The WRONG Exercises
  2. Article #2 - Training Variations - Pain Relief and Maximum Results (Below)
  3. Article #3 - Targeted Stretching
  4. Article #4 - Targeted Exercises
  5. Article #5 - Rest, Recovery, and Injury Prevention
     
Article #2 - Training Variations for Pain Relief and Maximum Results
Bodybuilders are a stubborn bunch... almost as bad as runners! And they tend to follow the “HERD” doing whatever exercises and routines the “pros” are doing...
Now, if your goal is to be as big as possible and you are not at all concerned with your health and fitness, don't even bother this article... this article is for bodybuilders who ARE concerned about their health and want to be big, strong, powerful, and agile... if that's you, read on...
The reason so many bodybuilders suffer from so many different injuries is because there are several things the “pros” don't tell you...
First off, the articles that you see in all the muscle mags aren't even written by the “pros”... and the workout routines they recommend are always extreme and often not even used by the “pro” who supposedly wrote because their main goal is to sell magazines... not give you the real deal on bodybuilding.
If you are serious about bodybuilding and want to achieve your true peak, you need to stay injury free... and that's just about impossible if you train they way most bodybuilders do.
There are several key strategies that you can use right now to not only eliminate any aches, pains and injuries you currently have, but also keep from creating more muscle imbalances in the future. For a more detailed article on muscle imbalances go to Aches and Pains Articles
Strategy #1 - Target the Weaklings!
No, we don't mean the exercises you think your weak at, or even the muscles you think are underdeveloped... what we mean is the muscles that are weak in relation to the opposing muscle group.
For example, in the first article we talked about why the Leg Extension is not a great exercise and why it's responsible for so many cases of knee, hip, and back pain... and the reason is, most people, especially bodybuilders, are already over developed and stronger in the quadriceps... and usually have a significant imbalance between the quadriceps and hamstrings.
Another reason bodybuilders tend to develop so many severe muscle imbalances is because they emphasize the front of the body more than the back... a great example of this is what we call “The T-shirt Muscle Workout” and it usually consists of dozens of sets of chest and biceps...
you know what we mean... in just one workout you do flat bench, incline, decline, pec deck, dumbbell fly, cable cross overs... and then for biceps you've got barbell curls, dumbbell curls, preacher curls, cable curls, machine curls, and the list goes on...
So instead of emphasizing the muscles that are already strong, why not really hit those weak and under worked muscles like: neck, upper back, shoulder rotators, hamstrings, glutes, hip rotators, lower abs, and shins.
These areas tend to be weak, tight, out of balance with their opposing muscles, prone to muscle strains and pulls and most importantly, these imbalances lead to major injuries and conditions like back pain, knee pain, rotator cuff tears, tendonitis and others.
All of these conditions are caused by muscle imbalances and will NOT go away unless you work towards correcting the imbalances... and the only way to know for sure which imbalances are causing your pain or injury is to do a series of physical assessments like the ones covered in our “Lose the Back Pain Video”.
Strategy #2 - Experiment!
Here's a personal challenge for you: Replace at least 1 of your normal weekly workouts with something totally different like combat martial arts, kettle bell training, functional training, or even strongman style exercises.
For example, instead of doing your super heavy, 3 inch partial rep leg presses, try a single leg squat... and if that's easy, try adding weight! Or instead dozens of sets of shoulder presses and lateral raises, see if you can do 1 handstand push-up.
Those are just a few examples... do yourself a favor and experiment with other types of exercises.  You can find hundreds of different types of training styles by taking classes, reading books, watching videos, surfing the web,
hire a personal trainer, etc.
We aren't asking you to give up your traditional workouts... but just cross-train a bit so you not only work towards a balanced body but also towards a stronger, more powerful and usable strength. Again, what good is muscle if you can't use it!
Strategy #3 - Switch It Up!
Another great way to minimize the number of missed workouts due to injuries is to vary the exercises that you do for each muscle group. For example, if you always do barbell squats try rotating in other exercises like single-leg leg presses, trap-bar dead-lifts, d-bell squats, etc.
Conclusion
Remember, the key to eliminating injuries and preventing future ones is to identify what areas you need to target. In the next two articles we'll be discussing in detail, how to address various injuries like back, hip, knee, and shoulder pain with targeted exercises and stretches. In the meantime, be sure to read thru all of our detailed Articles and if you have questions, please post them in our

7 Most Essential Tips to Prevent Heart Disease

Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States, causing close to 600,000 deaths a year.[i] Often, this is related to plaque build-up in your arteries, known as atherosclerosis, which can hinder blood flow or lead to a blood clot. This, in turn, can cause a heart attack or stroke.
Yet, heart disease isn’t only a matter of heart attacks. Heart disease also refers to many other heart and blood vessel conditions, including heart failure (when your heart doesn’t pump blood as well as it should), arrhythmia (abnormal heart rhythm) and heart valve problems.
In some cases, you may receive some warning signs that your heart is in trouble. Chest discomfort, pain in your arms, back and neck, shortness of breath, nausea, lightheadedness, or even extreme fatigue can be signs of heart attack, for instance.
But in some cases, you’ll receive no warning at all.
An irregular heart rhythm can lead to cardiac arrest and sudden death within minutes of the first onset of symptoms. Nearly 360,000 cardiac arrests occur in the United States every year, including in people who have not been diagnosed with heart disease[ii] 
7 Tips to Prevent Heart Disease
While medications and surgery are the standard heart disease treatments, there’s a lot you can do to prevent this disease in the first place, and many of the best strategies are related to your lifestyle choices.
7. Eat Nuts
Eating nuts daily may lower your heart disease by 29 percent, thanks to the healthy fats, minerals, and inflammation-fighting compounds they contain.[iii]
6. Get Enough Sleep
Men who have trouble falling asleep have a 55 percent higher risk of heart disease than those who do not.[iv] Why the connection? The study’s researcher explained:[v]
“Poor sleep has influence on endocrine function, it can increase chronic inflammation and also it can change circadian patterns.”
5. Minimize Stress
Chronic stress is also pro-inflammatory predicts the occurrence of coronary heart disease. Those experiencing work-related stress, loneliness or social isolation have an increased risk of having a coronary event, such as a heart attack,[vi] and acute episodes of stress also pose risks to your heart.
4. Eat Sardines or Take High-Quality Fish Oil
The omega-3s in low-mercury fish like sardines or wild-caught salmon are invaluable for heart health, as they lower inflammation and the risk of chronic diseases like heart disease.
3. Exercise
It’s no secret that exercise is good for your heart, both by helping with weight loss and via direct effects on the heart. Research even shows that exercise works as well as drugs in the secondary prevention of heart disease.[vii]
2. Eat More Vegetables
A veggie-rich diet (think kale, broccoli, bell peppers, cabbage, etc.) is at the heart of the Mediterranean style of eating, which emphasizes fresh produce, olive oil, nuts, beans, fish and even wine. Eating this way (as opposed to the veggie-poor, overly processed Standard American Diet) could prevent about 30 percent of heart attacks, strokes and deaths from heart disease.[viii]
1. Fight Chronic Inflammation
Part of the allure of many of the strategies above is that they reduce inflammation in your body. Chronic inflammation is common in heart disease and stroke patients, and it may promote the formation of fatty plaques in the arteries, raising your risk of heart disease (and other chronic diseases) considerably.
Chronic inflammation is often the result of many years of poor diet, inactivity, excess alcohol, cigarette smoking, excessive stress and other unhealthy lifestyle choices. The key word here is ‘choices.’ You can make a decision, starting today, to drastically lower the inflammation in your own body — and you don’t need anti-inflammatory drugs to do it.
A comprehensive anti-inflammatory diet, consisting of inflammation-fighting food, drinks and herbal supplements — is an invaluable tool to help keep inflammation, and thereby heart disease, at bay.
Proteolytic enzymes also have an unsurpassed ability to fight chronic inflammation and underlying pain. These enzymes are naturally produced in your pancreas, but your natural production declines with age; these inflammation-busters become largely depleted as you hit 40 and over.
Fortunately, there’s Heal-n-Soothe, the best systemic enzyme formula to replenish your body’s supply of vital enzymes. Heal-n-Soothe® not only gives you the healing power of proteolytic enzymes in a convenient capsule but it also goes where no other proteolytic supplement has or will with 12 additional proven anti-inflammatory ingredients. If you want to lower your risk of the top cause of death in the United States, and you want to do it naturally, take matters into your own hands.
Clean up your lifestyle and get Heal-n-Soothe.

Little-Known POWERHOUSE AGAINST CANCER (simple, natural... please share this impt info!

(NOTE: Take a few minutes to read this important article below... it can make a huge difference in your life. You can also read this same article online here, including the supporting research notes.) 

There are actually more than 3,000 enzymes in your body, each with a specific function. You cannot survive without them, as enzymes act as catalysts for countless biological changes that take place in living organisms.


Some experts, such as Dr. Edward Howell, believe that you are born with a limited supply of enzyme energy, and if you don’t consume enough enzymes via your diet (in raw foods, for instance), your digestive system will become stressed and unable to properly break down your food. This could lead to a reduced availability of metabolic, i.e. proteolytic, enzymes, which he believed was at the root of most chronic health problems.

While it used to be thought (for more than 100 years) that enzymes consumed orally were not absorbed by your digestive tract or bloodstream, research has proven this to be wrong. Orally consumed proteolytic enzymes can, and do, pass through your digestive tract and into your bloodstream for systemic effects, according to researchers, and this includes a potential role in fighting cancer.

Pancreatic enzymes, which are a type of proteolytic enzyme, were first used to treat cancer in 1902 by a Scottish scientist, John Beard. German researchers later used them to treat cancer, multiple sclerosis and viral infections, and some enzyme mixtures are still commonly used to treat cancer in several European countries, according to the American Cancer Society (ACS).
Although ACS states that “available scientific evidence does not support claims that enzyme supplements are effective in treating cancer,” there is good reason for further study.

Have You Heard of Dr. Gonzalez or the Gerson Therapy?

Dr. Max Gerson developed the Gerson Therapy in the 1930s, and today it is most well known for its role in cancer. The Gerson Therapy is a multi-faceted approach involving dietary changes (organic and plant-based) and detoxification, but enzymes are at its foundation. In addition to “copious amounts of fresh, organic juices” that are consumed every day “providing your body with a super-dose of enzymes,” patients also receive a pancreatic enzyme supplement.

According to one study conducted by the Gerson Research Institute, when patients with melanoma, colorectal cancer, and ovarian cancer were treated with surgery and Gerson therapy [including systemic enzymes], survival rates were higher than would normally be expected…”

The Gerson Therapy is not the only ‘alternative’ cancer treatment that involves proteolytic enzymes. Dr. Nicholas Gonzalez also uses pancreatic enzymes to treat cancer patients, with research showingan aggressive nutritional therapy with large doses of pancreatic enzymes led to significantly increased survival over what would normally be expected for patients with inoperable pancreatic adenocarcinoma [cancer].”

Separate research also suggests that people taking pancreatic enzyme supplements may have less severe side effects while undergoing radiation therapy compared to those taking a placebo. In the US, at least one enzyme preparation is currently being studied for use along with chemotherapy in cancer patients, according to ACS.

Proteolytic Enzymes Eat Up Scar Tissue for Lunch

Part of what makes proteolytic enzymes so beneficial is their ability to breakdown scar tissue in your body. What does this have to do with cancer? Dr. William Wong, ND, PhD, explained:

“CA (cancer) cells are covered with fibrin (the same stuff scar tissue is made of). Then as the cells glom together to form tumors these growths themselves are armored with fibrin. This thick protective coating is designed to prevent the body’s own defenses (i.e. Natural Killer cells, White blood cells or Oxygen) from getting inside the cell or tumor to destroy it.

Would it not make sense to have something strip away the outer fibrous wall of CA so that whatever agents we are using as medicine, whether natural or otherwise, can actually get into the cell and do their job?”

Systemic enzymes eat away at scar tissue; it’s their ‘claim to fame,’ and perhaps the reason why many doctors in Europe use enzymes as part of their cancer treatment plans as a matter of course.

Proteolytic Enzymes Are One of Nature’s Most Powerful Inflammation Fighters

This is important, because chronic inflammation plays a well-established role in the growth and spread of cancer. It’s no coincidence that many chronic inflammatory diseases, including pancreatitis and Crohn’s disease, increase your cancer risk, too, as do inflammatory conditions like hepatitis B or C infection, which can cause liver cancer. According to Cancer Research UK:

“… It’s clear that fledgling tumors hijack inflammation and use it to accelerate the progression towards full-blown cancer. As one of our own experts once commented, “If genetic damage is the match that lights the fire, inflammation may provide the fuel that feeds the flames.”

Here, too, systemic enzymes help, as they are powerful anti-inflammatories. And, systemic enzymes appear to stimulate your immune system, making them useful for both infectious and chronic diseases alike. Researchers noted in Medical Hypotheses:[xi]
“Numerous publications reveal that oral proteolytic enzymes are able to stimulate directly the activity of immune competent cells as well as to increase efficiency of some of their products.”

Systemic enzymes are very safe with few, if any, side effects, which is why so many people use them for everything from general well-being to more serious issues like cancer.

Why It’s Important to Replenish Your Enzyme Supplies


Proteolytic enzymes are naturally produced in your pancreas, but your natural production declines with age; these inflammation-busters become largely depleted as you hit 40 and over. In fact, a newborn baby has 100 times more enzymes than an elderly person, and even a 20-year-old has double the enzyme levels of a 70-year-old. If you have blood-clotting disorders, chronic fatigue, high cholesterol, obesity or other chronic health ailments, these could be signs that you’re already enzyme deficient.


If you don’t eat perfectly (including raw foods on a daily basis), the chances that your body is lacking in these crucial catalysts is even higher.

Fortunately, there’s Heal-n-Soothe, the best systemic enzyme formula to replenish your body’s supply of vital enzymes. Heal-n-Soothe®” not only gives you the healing power of systemic proteolytic enzymes but also other natural anti-inflammatories (some of which have their own anti-cancer effects). This includes:
  • Turmericwhich protects against multiple types of cancer and organ damage from conventional treatments.
  • Ginger, which has shown some ability to slow or prevent tumor growth in animal studies.
  • Boswelia, which has been shown to induce apoptosis (programmed cell death) in cancer cells.
