Having been a massage therapist for 12 years I would ask what you mean by "trigger point therapy". There are several techniques that involve manipulating specific 'points" which are commonly referred to as trigger point therapy. And add to that the fact that almost every practicioner has a slightly different approach to their session. I used to work for a neurologist who special

3. Re: help
She eats very little dairy, and none during coughing sprees. Doesn''t smoke, drink or play cards, lol. She comes from an Indian(India) heritage, though she herself was born in Canada. So her whole family eats very little but meats and bread, ala curry with beef or chicken and roti. Once in a while will add zuccini or onions to it. But alot of Indian spices.

Could use some advice on where to start with helping my wife. She has been coughing non-stop for three weeks with mucus build up and can't seem to get rid of it, no matter what type of herb or tea or medicine she takes. She has an inhaler for asthma that her doctor wants her to take. And, I do realize, obvioously on this site, the fact that she does not eat raw foods will have a bearing on any

6. ears
Anyone have advice oon blocked ears? Have tried several drops designed to dissolve the wax and flush. Have tried candles, which do work, but leave me stopped up. Have even gone to an ear, nose, throat guy who used an overgrown squirt gun to shoot inside my ears and force wax out. (I do not recommend this, unless you know sign language). My ears feel like lots of pressure inside. My acupunct

Having been a massage therapist for 12 years, one question I would ask, regarding your mention of myofascial release, would be "release from what to what"? What is your goal in releasing fascia? The goal for my work with fascia is not primarily to detox, though that is a certain benefit. It is simply to restore function to a part, or parts of a body that has been constricted by that

9. miscarraiges
Anyone know what causes them? My wife and I are suffering the loss of our second lost child, and while it seems to be something many women experience, it doesn't make the loss feel any less significant. This was particularly significant for us, I am 54, my wife is 37, so we are not in our early 20's. There are many on this site that might tell me that what we have eaten has affected this, as I

13. asthma help
Hello all, looking for some wisdom regarding raw foods and any effect they may have toward helping my wife who suffers so with asthma. Her diet consists mostly of meat and bread, (Indian culture--curry and roti) and her immune system is so weak she seems to fall to every allergy. She drinks alot of herbal teas, and takes many vitamins but I think it's not helping. Any thoughts?

14. Re: Chiropractic
As with any health related profession, you will get good and bad practicioners, and the bad ones can prove their reasoning. We live in a culture that believes that anything in print is truth, and so often practicioners who are educated and do alot of writing tend to be believed, without any thought to truth or falsehood.
That said, I have been on both sides of the chiropractic debate. I have

Thanks all. Will pass on this information to her. Unfortunately, right now she is looking for that "miracle" food that will cure this easily. I've tried to explain that it doesn't work that way, that she will have to make some total changes in how she approaches health. We will see how it goes.

I probably posted this question in the wrong forum. Sorry.
Any of you ladies dealt with fibroids before? My wife was told by a doctor recently that she had fibroids in her uterus which gave her very heavy bleeding and horrible cramps. She was a few weeks pregnant at the time (we have since lost the baby). In addition, her periods are difficult and very trying emotionally. What exactly are the

Specifically filtered tap water vs. bottled water. Or is the real healthy way to simply consume the fruits and vegees with the real water already in them? I ask because I've read and heard on various news shows how bottled water is worse, according to the commentator, because the plastic seems to emit things into the water that contaminate it. Can some of you educate me a little better? Thank

Hi suspendedindefinitely,
Heavens no, you said nothing wrong. What I meant to say, and forgive me if it seemed that way, is that I have been bombarded by this question so often, and especially my own family. And after trying to help them, they seem to never take anyone's advice (except maybe Oprah lol), so that is why my temptation is to be curt. That is why I tried to imply that I have com

This kind of question comes up so oftem, in my little world. And for me, while my temptation is to answer in a curt manner, I have come to realize that this can be a very charged subject for many who struggle.
The short answer, garbage in/garbage out. Which means, habits of eating, thinking, doing, believing, etc. develop over long periods of time. For most, they never get broken. And when

21. Re: ADHD
Hi Melissa,
Thank you for your kind words. I hesitate to speak on the subject of children because I have no biological children of my own. But I do maintain that having children is not necessarily a prerequisit to caring for them in positive ways. I truly believe most of us have gone so far off that we don't even realize what we're doing to ourselves, our children and our environment. I se

22. Re: ADHD
Hi flipperjan,
"What a shame those kids don't have you in their life - you sounded like their only chance but it must be a bit of a relief for you to be out of that situation."
Well I wouldn't go so far as to say I was the kid's only chance, but at least I was objective. The kids' mother couldn't see beyond her own selfish emotions, and their biological dad couldn't see beyond hj

Some years ago, I was married to a woman who had two kids from her first marriage. WHen I met them, they both had severe allergies and the oldest was on Ritalin for, presumably, ADHD. Since I was a massage therapist at the time and had studied nutrition fairly extensively, I begged her to change their diet. The oldest had horrible mood swings and the Ritalin ruined his app

A few years ago I did a water only fast. The goal was for 30 days. I was working 10 to 12 hour days at the time and in the middle of a nasty divorce. I made it only 13 days before I almost passed out. I could not work. But during that time someone told me that water fasts leave the body with nothing to do but begin to eat muscle tissue away. In his opinion it would eat the heart muscle. An

Several valid and interesting approaches to this issue of trying to convince others of a "better path" to take. I think you may have already found much wisdom here. It is a certainly a challenging and often frustrating situation when we see others that have done things out of ignorance, blatent rebellion, laziness, etc etc. To those of us who genuinely want to help, it hurts us.
