Mobilizatons to get rid of SI joint pain
Featured in: Nutrition & Life
Chronic SI joint pain is no fun, so here are some techniques to try to realign the pelvis and get rid of the pain.Before we get to the topic at hand, I want to announce that my long awaited nutrition course entitled "Why the Food Guides are Wrong: How to Find Health and Lose Weight", is now available online. By the end of the roughly two hours it takes to go through the course, your confusion over food and what is healthy to eat will have disappeared because the lens through which you look at food will have changed. Suddenly the conflicting nutrition messages that are everywhere won't be a problem anymore and you won't be pulled from one diet to another depending on what diet guru you happen to be listening to at the time. Everything will seem so obvious that you will wonder how you could have possibly been confused before. I echo Paul Chek's suggestion that food is the drug we take three times a day. Eat poorly and your health will be taken from you. Eat right and your health will be restored.
The feedback I have received from people that have attended the course in the past have included sentiments like "life changing", and "I didn't really expect to learn anything, but found out I didn't know anything at all", and "I don't think I'll bother taking the other nutrition course I signed up for - I now know all I need to know". People have come up to me months after taking the course and thanked me for the presentation and changing their lives.
The introductory offer is $39USD, which includes the slide presentation and lecture, as well as additional reference materials and resources that you can print off to help you get started. Sign up by going to http://WellnessTips.digitalchalk.com.
Now to the topic of SI joint pain. Thursday I was sitting at a coffee shop in a business meeting with a colleague without the "butt lift" that I need (one side of my pelvis is slightly smaller than the other, so I usually sit with a pad under one sit bone to keep my pelvis level), and I felt my SI joint go out of alignment. Instantly I was back to that left-sided low-back pain I had felt on a daily basis many years ago. That night I was lying in bed thinking how ironic it was that the following day I would have no time in my day to fit in a chiro appointment to realign my pelvis and resolve my pain, because it was jammed with people coming to see me to fix their back problems. Aarg! I don't have time for back pain! I decided that surely I knew enough about the SI joint to fix myself, even if I couldn't assess myself properly to determine exactly what had happened. So at three in the morning I was crawling around the floor in the dark with my cat, trying to fix my back.

I have always been interested in what we can do to make ourselves as healthy as possible. We cannot change our genetics, but there is much that is within our control that can have an impact on whether we are healthy or whether we suffer with pain and disease.
I was the top graduating student at the University of Toronto in Physical and Health Education in 1992, where I studied anatomy, physiology, exercise physiology, nutrition and how exercise can improve health. In 1997 moved to Vancouver and started a personal-training business.
I became frustrated by my inability to help my clients through their various aches and pains, and pursued further education through the CHEK Institute in San Diego. I learned an incredible amount, and became far more effective with my clients suffering from low-back pain, but still found some clients did not respond as I felt they should and I didn't understand why.
I began to read and read. I began to appreciate how nutrition and other lifestyle factors can have a huge impact on healing or the lack of healing. It became obvious to me that there is a lot more to orthopeadic problems than simply looking at the physical. I took the CHEK Holistic Lifestyle Consultation course which solidified what I had been learning. Disease is a function of bodily systems being out of balance, and when we do what is necessary to bring the individual back into balance our health is restored.
My hope is that through this site you can travel the wellness journey with me and prevent illness, or if you are ill, you can learn some ways to become well again.
Canadian Bottled Water Found to Contain High Bacteria Count
Featured in: Nutrition & Life
A Canadian study found that more than 70 percent of bottled water samples contained heterotrophic bacteria that exceeded recommended limits.In my previous article, I talked about the benefits of carrying our own water as opposed to buying bottled water off the shelves. Then I saw this study done on several well-known brands of bottled water in Canada.
According to the researchers from Ccrest Laboratories in Montreal, more than 70 percent of the random samples examined contained heterotrophic bacteria that exceeded the levels recommended in the US. In some bottles, the levels of
heterotrophic bacteria were one hundred times more than the permitted limit.

After teaching himself the ancient art of meditation, he realized that an unconscious mind is the root cause of an unhappy and unhealthy life. So he decided to go back to basics, simplify his life and do things that will bring joy to his heart. That's how The Conscious Life is born.
Now, he writes articles to inspire his readers to improve their lives by thinking out of their conditioned mind. He also writes frequently about health issues such as chronic inflammation and related diseases, as well as natural ways to reduce stress, enhance health and restore inner balance.

‘Banish thorny corns’ writes a senior dermatologist

Our regular columnist, Dr. Rajan TD helps to unravel the mystery of the painful corn‘Banish thorny corns’ by a senior dermatologist
How often have you been troubled by a painful foot? I am sure many times the cause of this troublesome problem lay in your foot. The cause is a tiny, innocuous mass termed as a corn.
Why it occurs
The weight of our body is usually distributed evenly over the pressure areas of the foot.

Freedom Is A Foundation REAL Wellness Issue
Featured in: Wellness Report
Maybe doctors should conduct freedom checkups on patients. If not physicians, somebody.Not many doctors conduct freedom tests on their patients during clinical history taking. They check blood pressure, heart rate, weight and height, cholesterol and triglyceride levels and sometimes body composition, but almost never ask patients about how their liberty is going or if they feel free enough. In his classic work "How I Found Freedom In An Unfree World" (Avon, 1973), Harry Browne's first sentence was, "Freedom is the opportunity to live your life as you want to live it." That sentence set me on my path to wellness.

Meta-analysis shows the food guides have been wrong for 30 years
Featured in: Nutrition & Life
There is no significant evidence for concluding that dietary saturated fat is associated with an increased risk of CHD or CVD.Just wanted to make sure nobody missed this very important conclusion published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition in March of this year.
"A meta-analysis of prospective epidemiologic studies showed that there is no significant evidence for concluding that dietary saturated fat is associated with an increased risk of CHD or CVD."
Can we please STOP recommending low-fat diets now? A low-fat diet = a high carb diet, which leads to obesity, type 2 diabetes and heart disease. Thank you very much.

How getting up from the floor daily can improve your life
Featured in: Nutrition & Life
To enjoy our physical activities throughout life and to keep pain away, we need to be able to get up off the floor 3 different ways.From a physical ability perspective, the toilet was a dastardly invention. We are designed to poop by squatting right down to the ground, so before the toilet, from the time we learned to squat poop as a child until the time we died, we had the flexibility and strength to do so. We pooped often enough to keep ourselves adequately limber to squat low, and strong enough to easily get up from that position. Now a-days many of us stop getting down onto the floor altogether once the kids are past the toddler age. The chair is about as close to the floor as we get. Then some years later we find ourselves on the floor for some reason or another, like looking for something that rolled under the sofa, and we realize that getting up off the floor is suddenly quite hard work.
