Back Pain’s Newly Discovered Cause

This article is about a cause of back pain which most people, including doctors, don’t understand. This back pain cause is not disease such as cancer or arthritis. It is not injury such as falling off a ladder. Also, it is not a mentally caused pain…it is a very real pain. This back pain is caused by incorrect use of voluntary muscles. Voluntary muscles are muscles you can control. Do this. Lift your arm. There you used voluntary muscles. You can cause pain by using, or not using, your voluntary muscles incorrectly. By using one hand to bend the fingers of your other hand backward you can cause pain. This is an example of incorrectly using voluntary muscles and causing pain. This discovery, called Denlinger’s Discovery(TM), is about another cause of pain throughout the human body and how to fix it. Denlinger’s Discovery came about by applying engineering basics to the human body. Using these engineering basics one can also increase the load carrying capability of the body. In this article we’ll only look at one function, of several functions, of the back. In 1759 a Switzerland born scientist named Leonardo Euler (1707-1783) developed the first, most basic formulas about the relationship of the height to the thickness of a column. A summary of this formula is that the thinner a column or post, as compared to its height, the more likely it will fail (ie, break) by bending rather than by crushing. Also, if the column has supports in the middle to keep it from bending, it will be able to carry a much heavier load. Here’s an experiment you can do. get a long, skinny twig from a tree or bush. Stand it up on a table vertically and push down on the top with a finger. Feel how easily it bends. If you push too hard it will break. Next, place your other hand on the side to keep it from bending so much and press down on the top again. Feel how much stronger the twig is now. You can see an example of this principle applied in daily life by looking at a very tall television transmission tower. Typically these towers have wires, called guy wires, going from the middle (often from quarter, half and three quarter points or more) down to the ground. These guy wires keep the tower from bending in the middle, so it can carry a load to a much greater height. The spine in the lower back of the human body has voluntary muscles which can act like guy wires to keep the spine from bending from side to side. Looking in the Doctor’s Bible, “Gray’s Anatomy”, you can see these muscles in one of the drawings looking at the rear of the body. These muscles are called “quadratus lumborum” (they are shown in a posterior view of the back and described in the section on Deep Muscles of the Abdomen). Correctly using these voluntary guy-wire-type muscles per Euler’s formulas could fix a problem called scoliosis. Currently doctors use braces and even surgery to correct scoliosis. As long as the muscles and nerves are in place and not damaged and the person is willing and able to learn how to use them and s/he then trains his or her guy-wire-type muscles the scoliosis problem could be fixed by correct use of voluntary muscles. The same basic principle of preventing too much bending, using other muscles, can be applied in another direction to strengthen the spine by preventing too much curve forward and backward. There are other engineering basics which can be applied to the back and other parts of the human body which will be covered in other articles.

Postpartum Depression

The following paragraphs summarize the work of Depression experts who are completely familiar with all the aspects of Depression. Heed their advice to avoid any Depression surprises. How can you put a limit on learning more? The next section may contain that one little bit of wisdom that changes everything. It’s one thing to be depressed. It is something altogether different to be suffering from clinical depression. How do you know whether your depression is “common” or clinical?Well, it is “normal” to feel sad or down from time to time. People say that it is “normal” even thoughfeeling down or sad is not your “normal” state — but it really is normal as far as mental health goes. This type of depression is usually an effect of a cause. For example, if a loved one dies, you feel sad. If a beloved pet dies, you feel sad. If a relationship fails, there is sadness.It is when depression — or that sad feeling — lingers that it becomes abnormal, and treatment should be sought. It is also not normal for there to be no apparent cause of the depression. Even if there is a cause for the depression, it is not normal for the depression to linger on and on. Then, it has become clinical depression.Some people see it like this: Being sad is a state of mind that will pass, and usually has an apparent cause. Being clinically depressed is a physical illness,which requires treatment, just like any other illness would.There are still those people who really don’t understand clinical depression. They think that you should be able to “get over it” or “snap out of it” without realizing that you really can’t. In fact, it is important for you to realize that they just don’t understand clinical depression — otherwise, if you believe that you should just be able to “getover it,” this can only serve to make the depression worse. Sadness lasts for a short period of time. Clinical depression, on the other hand, can last for weeks, months, or even years. When a person is down or feeling blue, they can still function in their everyday lives. People who are clinically depressed cannot. I hope that reading the above information was both enjoyable and educational for you. Your learning process should be ongoing–the more you understand about any subject, the more you will be able to share with others.To subscribe, at no cost,to my Newsletter Series on ‘Anxiety and Depression’ from which this article has beenextracted simply send an email to: plnewsletter@aweber.com

The 4 Levels of Reiki Training

Reiki training is different when you are beginner compared to someone who has already been introduced to it. In this article, we will talk about the first four levels to give people an idea of what actually happens. During level one, the instructor will introduce you to the energy. Here, you get to develop a relationship with it by learning how to work with it, how it feels through your body and the effects on using this on yourself and others. Over the course of two days, you will learn the 4 attunements. There will be enough time given to allow your system to settle into the new space and after a 21 day cleansing session, you will no longer feel any negative energy in your system. Level two Reiki training should be done at least two months after you have completed level one. During this time, your vibration level should be much higher. This is also a two day training course where you will receive another attunement that will increases your vibration and make you familiar with three of the four Reiki symbols. You will learn here how to make each of these symbols work and after a couple of days, you will again have to undergo a 21 day cleaning period to remove any negative energy that you may have. Most people do not go beyond level two because they are already happy with what they have learned. But for those who want to push on and even become a master, they can continue on their way to level three. It is recommended that you wait at least 6 to 12 months before you take level 3. When you are ready, you will again undergo a two day session so you may received your final attunement. There is another 21 day cleaning period and you may even be taught another Reiki system like the Seichim to help you through. From here, we go the fourth and final level where you will be taught how to become both a master and a teacher so you may also teach those who want to learn about the Reiki. What makes this different from the first three levels is that you will be taught now from an instructor’s perspective. This will enable you to come up with your own lesson plans and manuals that you will distribute to your students. You will also learn about boundaries and ethics being a Master Teacher. You might even be given a test by creating a level one training which you will use to treat new comers. Reiki training is now available in some institutions. You can even enroll in home study programs, online learning and distance instruction. You just have to find the right instructor that can teach you everything there is to know about this healing technique so you get your money’s worth.If you attend to join a class, you shouldn’t worry about if this is crowded because batches are limited to 4 or 8 students. This will allow each one to have individualized attention from the instructor aside from the manuals that will be given at the start of the class. Everyone is more than welcome to experience and embrace what Reiki training can do. You just have to keep an open mind and let the positive energy flow within you and cleansing yourself of the negative energies that fill your body, mind and soul.

The 4 Levels of Reiki Training

Reiki training is different when you are beginner compared to someone who has already been introduced to it. In this article, we will talk about the first four levels to give people an idea of what actually happens.

During level one, the instructor will introduce you to the energy. Here, you get to develop a relationship with it by learning how to work with it, how it feels through your body and the effects on using this on yourself and others.

Over the course of two days, you will learn the 4 attunements. There will be enough time given to allow your system to settle into the new space and after a 21 day cleansing session, you will no longer feel any negative energy in your system.

Level two Reiki training should be done at least two months after you have completed level one. During this time, your vibration level should be much higher.

Building Self Esteem For Your Significant Other

As partners in life, couples have a responsibility to help each other out. The same is also true when it comes to psychological matters. This is why it is important that a person strives to help his or her partner improve his or her self-esteem. Helping your partner improve his or her self-esteem is one of the best ways for you to express your love for him or her. Your are not only doing him a favor when you boost his or her self-esteem, you are also contributing to the longevity of your relationship. For a relationship to work out, both partners must be emotionally and psychologically mature. A healthy self-image or self-esteem is one of the indications of maturity. Below are some ways that you can do to help your mate improve his or her self-esteem. Acknowledge that nobody is perfect. Keep in mind that nobody is perfect. So do not expect yourself or your partner to be one. Instead, believe that any body has the capacity to change. So whatever is the current state of your partner right now, know that he or she can still improve on his or her situation. It is also important that you accept your partner for what he or she is. Never, ever tell your partner that you wish he or she is someone different. This could have a very damaging effect on his or her self-esteem. An effect that would take a lot of time and effort to fix. If you really love your partner you will accept him or her for what he or she is. This includes her flaws and shortcomings. Do not be stingy on praises and compliments If your partner has done or accomplished something that is praiseworthy then go ahead and praise or compliment him or her for it. To be most effective, you must give your partner a compliment at least once everyday. Even small compliments would mean a lot. For example, you can tell your partner how good he or she looks in her office attire before he or she goes to work or how you love the smell of his or her new cologne. Giving compliments would not just do wonders for your partner’s self-esteem; it could also bring magic to your relationship. Avoid harsh criticisms Paying compliments does not mean that you have to lie. It does not help for your mate’s self-esteem, to be brutally frankly either. If you do not really like what he or she is wearing, then tell him or her that you like the one he or she wore last week better instead of telling him or her that that what he or she is wearing sucks. Listen! Listen! Listen! Good constant communication is one of the secrets of a lasting relationship. And in communication it is as equally important to listen as it is to talk. Be your mate’s most attentive audience. Whenever he or she is saying something, give him or her your full attention. Knowing that you are listening attentively to him would boost his or her confidence and would increase his or her self-esteem. By doing the things above, you can help your mate increase his or her self-esteem. After helping your partner build a strong self-esteem, you will also notice that your relationship will also improve. So take time out to these things right now.

Today we’re going to talk about hidden food allergies. The first thing that it is important to understand is that there are different types of reactions to foods that we are allergic to. The most commonly understood and easily detected reaction is called a type 1 reaction or IgE reaction. With this type of reaction it is very easy to detect an allergy to a particular food. The symptoms of a Type 1 reaction are swelling of the throat, hives and an anaphylaxis type of reaction, a serious, potentially life-threatening allergic response. We are not focusing on that today because these allergies are very easily detected. The type of allergy I want to talk to you about would more likely fall into the category of food sensitivities which are the result of an entirely different immuno/ biological process altogether. One that instead of being an immediate reaction may take hours or even days to actually become apparent. This is one of the reasons that most people have trouble recognizing the relationship between the symptoms that they are experiencing with something that they ate days prior (type 3 or type 4 reactions), even though type 3 and type 4 reactions are much more common. In fact only 5 percent of the population is affected by the type 1 so that means that most are affected by the type 3 or 4 allergy which is the “hidden” type. How do you recognize whether or not you or someone you know could be experiencing a type 3 or 4 sensitivity or allergic reaction? The most common way of diagnosing such sensitivities is to undergo an elimination process where diet is severely restricted and then one by one foods are reintroduced into the diet (usually one food per week). This can take months or even years to complete!!! Until now this has been the “Gold Standard”! The news I am about to share with you is LIFE CHANGING!!! Say goodbye to the old gold standard because now there is a very simple in home test which will detect hidden food allergies! I know of a woman who suffered migraines for 18 years. She had been through test after test week after week and the doctors kept saying “there is nothing wrong” as they proceeded to prescribe another medication for her migraines. She spent thousands on these tests; in fact one of them cost her $1,200.00! After much arm twisting she took the in home test (for $99.00) and viola!!! The in home test revealed that she was allergic to foods in the mustard family. She is proceeding with the recommended protocol and I am happy to report NO MORE MIGRAINES! Another woman suffered from severe eczema for most of her life. There were times when she was house ridden for the better part of a week. After taking the in home test, she found out she was allergic to dairy. She is now on her way to living a normal life. Now I am not a doctor nor am I saying that we “cured them”. In fact that would be a felony (Thank you FDA). We simply detected the allergy and gave them the gastrointestinal support they needed to heal. Typically once the GI tract has healed itself; it has been found that the food can then be reintroduced with no further reactions! The strange thing is that this type of test has been used by physicians for years with amazing success but it isn’t promoted widely. This is because most doctors tend to focus on Type 1 allergies instead of the other 2. Let’s look at food allergies and sensitivities a little closer; shall we? In a typical type 1 the food antigens can trigger the mast cell mechanism at any point in their journey through the body. Lip, tongue, throat burning and swelling are most obvious symptoms of this. The antigen may not react in gastro intestinal tract but activate Type 1 responses in blood or target organs, especially lungs and connective tissue. The onset of “immediate reactions” may be delayed hours after eating offending foods. Major symptoms include: flushing, swelling, shortness of breath, fast heart rate, panic, pain, and confusion. What happens when dealing with a type 3 or 4 reaction (hidden sensitivity) is quite different. In this type of reaction the antibodies bind directly to the food particles themselves as they enter the blood stream. Then they form different sizes of circulating immune complex. This complex is comprised of the allergens and the antibodies that reacted to it becoming bound together and then circulating in the blood stream. It is important to understand that in this case there is a delayed reaction of symptoms not seen with the Type 1 reaction. Also unlike Type 1 reactions, type 3 and 4 are usually from a food that you eat OFTEN and even CRAVE. In fact cravings are common as are withdrawal symptoms. The numbers here are huge! It is thought that nearly 60 to 80 million Americans suffer from this type of reaction. What are the symptoms of type 3 %26 4 reactions? There are hundreds of them! (Hold on to your chair.) You know someone who is affected by this. Tinnitus, recurrent ear infections, asthma, dark circles under the eyes (allergic shiners also seen in children reacting to vaccines), chronic digestive problems (diarrhea, constipation and heartburn), spastic colon, migraine headaches, fibromyalgia, irritable bowel, fluctuations in blood sugar, joint and muscle pain, fluid retention, brain fog and or mental confusion, irritability, eczema and many others. In fact studies have shown that even (temporary) changes in your voice or hoarseness can take place as the result of these reactions! The good news is that they are reversible but a skin test will not detect their presence. How do we end up with these reactions or sensitivities? Lack of breast feeding is one culprit. When breast feeding became unpopular asthma became epidemic. This is largely due to an immunoglobulin deficiency, as human immunoglobulin is not contained in cow’s milk. Food sensitivities of all types are far more prominent in babies who were not breast fed. Let’s think about that… When a baby is born it is meant for that baby to have mommy’s breast milk. The intestine is somewhat porous. All of the foods going through the intestine are being exposed to the blood stream in a way does not take place after weaning, when porous elements of the intestine gradually begin to close. The food that passes through the intestine from that point forward is not directly exposed to the blood as it would be in earlier years. In fact many people who have wheat allergies were fed wheat based formulas when they were infants!! It is also important to note that when genetically modified soy was introduced into the UK, soy allergies skyrocketed by 50 percent and I suspect that many other GMOs are causing allergic reactions among the unsuspecting populace at large. See the GMO Trilogy for more information on the devastating effects of genetically modified food. If you sit back and think or better yet, keep a mental note of this article, I am sure you will encounter someone you know who meets the criteria or has the symptoms mentioned above. I STRONGLY encourage you to let them see this information because it just might CHANGE THEIR LIFE! Stay tuned for next weeks’ “Custom Health 4 You News” Hidden Food Allergies Part 2.

When Your Baby Cries

All young babies cry at some time during the day. Whether it’s a subdued grumble or a full throated roar, a baby’s cries are his only means of communicating his needs. Having said that, there is no doubt that a persistently fretful baby can be a strain for parents, so it’s worth thinking about the underlying causes. Look upon crying as conversation rather than an irritant designed to up set you.Responding To Your Baby’s CriesResearch shows that babies do better if you respond promptly when they cry. It’s a mistake to think of a baby as good if he doesn’t cry much and one who does as naughty, because a baby’s cries have nothing to do with good or bad behavior. Responding to your baby’s cries is a crucial part of bonding your attitude to your baby in the first few weeks forms the blueprint for your future relationship with him, and for all his future relationships. He’ll learn kindness and sympathy from you, which is why you should always answer his cry what ever any one else tells you . A loved baby will be secure, and when the time comes, he will be able to take separations in stride if he’s learned that you will answer his needs. A baby who’s left to cry is more likely to grow up clingy and attention seeking because he’s learned that he has to work harder to make you respond to him.Why You Should Respond PromptlyYour baby is longing to communicate with you, but his repertoire is limited at first. Crying is the only way.He can convey his feelings, so don’t just ignore him. Your baby will develop good communication skills and outgoing, friendly behavior. It will make him secure and self confident. It will not spoil your baby or teach him bad habits, you can’t spoil a baby this way, only love him.What Happens If You Don’t RespondNot responding to your baby’s cries is a form of rejection and your baby will soon sense this.If you don’t respond, he will cry for longer, continuing until he gets the attention he needs.He will be driven to create a pattern of frequent crying.What Makes A Newborn CryThe circumstances of your baby’s birth may affect the amount that he cries. It helps if you understand the possible underlying causes of a fretful baby’s behavior. Try not to become impatient with him. it is out of his control. He’ll begin to settle down as he gets older. Your baby may cry more.If you had a general anesthetic.If you had a forceps delivery. If he was born after a long labor, after which babies tend to sleep in short bursts. If he is a boy. Boys may cry more than girls in new situations, Try not to make the mistake of some parents of boys who have been known to attend to them less in the mistaken belief that it will toughen them up.

How can we differentiate anxiety disorder from merely anxious?A general guideline that you can use is this:1) You are merely anxiousMost probably, this is an extremely stressful period for you. Perhaps, you have a major project and you have to meet the company’s tight deadline. Or maybe you are going to have a major exam which will have a significant impact on your future. When you are under this sort of pressure, it is quite normal to be anxious. Your anxiety may be due to the result of constant stress and is not considered an anxiety disorder. However, you will still want to take note of it and not allow it to develop into a disorder.2) You are probably having a disorderMaybe you feel anxious all the time for no particular reason. Maybe, this is supposed to be a stress free period for you. If you are suffering from prolonged and intense feeling of anxiety, it is likely that you are suffering from anxiety disorder.The best way to confirm your condition is too ask a qualified health professional. Most importantly, you should not delay in seeking treatment, thinking that it will go away on its own. If left unattended, the condition can become worse.

Furthermore, anxiety disorder is likely going to interfere in your relationship with your family, friends and colleagues. Do not allow anxiety disorder to control you.

Top 5 Frequently Asked Questions about Teeth Whitening

There are many questions that usually go unanswered when it comes to cosmetic dentistry procedures but more importantly teeth whitening, they were going to address the top five questions that people have in regards to teeth whitening procedures, treatment and payment options.– Do you whitening procedures damage tooth Enamel?Studies based on products that use 10% carbamide peroxide showed little to no effect on the hardness and integrity of a tooth’s Enamel so it can be safely assumed that using these teeth whitening products will not affect or compromise your oral health.– Do teeth whitening products damage a tooth’s nerve?According to recent studies after a 4.5 and seven year follow-up on people who had teeth whitening procedures performed, none of them needed a root canal as a direct consequence of teeth whitening. There is no intrinsic evidence that may indicate that teeth whitening may cause partial or permanent damage to a tooth’s nerve.– Do teeth whitening affect dental restorations?The relationship between dental restorations and teeth whitening is very peculiar, studies based on products that use 10% carbamide peroxide showed that patients who used to teeth whitening products suffered no negative effects were dental restoration decay due to teeth whitening. It is important to keep in mind that dental restorations such as Veneers, fillings, bridges, bonding and such do not lighten after its whitening procedure so the shade achieved may call for those restorative items to be replaced in order to match the new aspect; this is also the main reason why it is highly encouraged for individuals to have a teeth whitening procedure performed prior to a dental restoration.– How long do the whitening effects last?There is no accurate answer for this question, the effects of teeth whitening may very well last for over a year in people who avoid foods that may stain their teeth, if you sample of those are: carbonated drinks (sodas), coffee, tea, and many others.
