Cell Phone Telemarketing

March 24, 2008

A friend passed this one, thought I’d share it. I tested and it worked as advertised. Now I hope it actually works and stops telemarketers from calling my cell phone.
I am sure many of you hate receiving junk mail
or being bothered with unsolicited telephone calls.
Cell phone numbers go public tomorrow
All cell phone numbers are being [...]

Another “Duh” research study

March 24, 2008

Here’s the headline for this article: “Elderly Improve with Exercise, Too”
Shocking.
But what’s shocking isn’t that exercise also improves the elderly, but that anyone would think the assertion tenuous enough to merit study. Well, at least some folks are starting to wake up to the critical importance of movement. And I will say, there is value [...]

A video on health that you need to watch

March 23, 2008

This is a youtube video that I think is important enough to watch that I am posting it here.
Now, first, a word. It’s put together by the folks at mercola.com. It think that site has a lot of good information, but I don’t take everything Mercola says as gospel and I do disagree with him [...]

You have got to be kidding me

March 22, 2008

Ok, I try, I REALLY try. But sometimes, it’s hard to be patient. The mainstream medical and research community tends to be somewhat conservative in how they view health issues, and they tend to place a very high value on studies, especially double-blind placebo-controlled ones. I heard a very prominent physician in the health and [...]

A client’s first visit

March 19, 2008

One of our clinic directors forwarded me this link. A client visited their clinic and wrote about it on her blog. It’s a great story that I think a lot of clients can relate to. You can read it here.
And if the client who read this happens to read this entry, I want to tell [...]

March 12, 2008

A friend from South America sent me this story. I found it moving and true and thought I would share it with you all.
And as my friend Michael signs off his emails…..

March 11, 2008

Our director of therapy, Brian Bradley, is working with this school system and we’re hoping to get a PatchFitness setup into this school soon. Here’s a video on how they are using exercise to assist in learning.
And there’s a lesson here for all of us. Do you want to feel better through your day? And [...]

Major League Baseball player and Egoscue

March 11, 2008

Nice article about Mike Sweeney, mentioning his work with Egoscue.
You can read the full article here.
And here is the Egoscue-related portion of the article:
“It was extremely tough because I felt a responsibility to the team, the ownership and the fans,” he said. “I was basically the Eric Chavez of the Royals. When I was [...]

Raw Superfoods and postural change

March 9, 2008

Over the past year I’ve been transitioning my diet to one more weighted towards raw foods. I’m not 100% raw vegan, but I’d estimate that 80% of my diet consists of raw vegan foods. We all know that we should generally eat more raw fruits, vegetables, seeds and nuts, but doing so can be daunting. [...]
