Dr. Paul’s Conviction Regarding Vagus Nerve Stimulation

“I’m Grateful for God Showing Me Profound Ways to Help My Patients”

Being in practice for almost 30 years now, I have been praying for Health solutions that are affordable that produce the most profound results. I believe this Vagus Nerve technology is one such treatment. It’s easy to do, efficient and covers a whole host of issues producing Results on your Body.

You can do these Vagus Nerve Stretches without a machine for Free but its more Efficient with the Handheld stimulator.

Potential benefits:

Purpose: The vagus nerve is a crucial part of the autonomic nervous system that plays a role in regulating various bodily functions, including heart rate, digestion, and stress response. Stimulating the vagus nerve can have a calming and relaxing effect on the body and mind.

Here are some vagus nerve exercises that are commonly recommended:

1. Deep Breathing: Slow, diaphragmatic breathing is one of the simplest ways to stimulate the vagus nerve. Inhale deeply through your nose, allowing your abdomen to rise, and then exhale slowly through your mouth. Aim for a 5-7 second inhalation and a 5-7 second exhalation. Repeat this for a few minutes.

2. Humming: Humming can stimulate the vagus nerve because it involves the muscles in the back of your throat that are connected to the vagus nerve. Simply hum a tune or the sound "Om" for a few minutes.

3. Gargling: Gargling with warm saltwater or plain water can activate the vagus nerve. Gargle for about 30 seconds to a minute several times a day.

4. Singing and Chanting: Singing, especially deep and resonant singing, can engage the vagus nerve. Chanting or singing in a group can also be socially and emotionally beneficial. I love Singing to God, for He is Amazing!

5. Cold Exposure: Exposure to cold, such as splashing your face with cold water or taking a cold shower, can activate the vagus nerve's response to stress. Start with a brief exposure and gradually increase the duration if you're not accustomed to cold therapy.

6. Laughter: Laughter is a natural way to stimulate the vagus nerve. Watch a funny video, read jokes, or engage in activities that make you laugh.

7. Quiet Times: God knows how we get easily distracted. I like Me time with God. He is my Source of Ultimate love, peace and healing. Including Him in all our activities is His desire because He Loves to hang out with You and me. Why not get His Boundless Love, and His unlimited knowledge, understanding, wisdom & counsel (Is 11:2)? He thinks about you and me all the time and His thoughts of you are Greater than the sands of the sea! (Ps 139). When you Seek Him as Your Primary source of Connection and Intimacy, He’ll take care of all your needs! (Mt 6:33)

8. Intermittent Fasting: Some research suggests that intermittent fasting can enhance vagal tone. However, if you are considering fasting, it's essential to consult with a healthcare professional, especially if you have underlying health conditions.

9. Probiotics: Maintaining a healthy gut microbiome through probiotics may indirectly affect vagal tone because there is a strong connection between the gut and the brain through the vagus nerve.

It's important to note that while these exercises may help stimulate the vagus nerve and promote relaxation, they should not replace medical treatment or advice for specific medical conditions. If you have a medical condition or concerns about your health, it's essential to consult with a healthcare professional before attempting vagus nerve exercises or any new wellness practices.

You can research it out yourself by googling “Vagus Nerve Stimulation and ____________(condition)”. I have done some of that work for you below by clicking on each condition below. More to come….

Conditions that Vagus Nerve Treatment Help:

• INFLAMMATION & PAIN

  1) Modulation of the Anti-Inflammatory Response

  2) Vagus Nerve Stimulation and Chronic Inflammation

• AUTISM

• CANCER:

  Abstract:

  The parasympathetic system, and primarily the vagus nerve, informs the brain about multiple signals and returns the body to homeostasis. Recent studies have shown that vagal nerve activity independently predicts prognosis in cancer. Here, we take this one step further and show that when vagal nerve activity is high, cancer stage no longer predicts tumor burden. We examined whether vagal nerve activity, indexed by Heart Rate Variability (HRV) (We can measure this at my office, moderated the effects of initial tumor stage on tumor burden at followup. Patients' HRVs were derived from ECGs near diagnosis in colorectal cancer (CRC) and in prostate cancer (PC) patients. Outcomes included the tumor markers carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) at 12 months for CRC and prostate-specific antigen (PSA) at 6 months for PC. As would be expected, initially advanced tumor stages of CRC or PC predicted higher tumor marker levels at follow-up than did early stages. However, this occurred only in patients with low, not high, vagal activity (HRV). Furthermore, in patients with advanced tumor stage at diagnosis, high HRV predicted lower tumor marker levels than did low HRV, in both cancers. Estimating a cancer patient's prognosis by determining his tumor stage needs to also consider the vagal nerve activity. This activity is easily measurable, and it determines in which subjects the tumor stage is prognostic. Importantly, higher vagal activity may even protect against the adverse effects of advanced cancer stage. These findings, observed in two distinct cancers, support the hypothesized neuroimmunomodulatory effects of vagal nerve activity on tumors.

What do former president Barack Obama, you and me have in common?

We are all busy and need to be intentional about exercise. I'm 60 years and admittedly, lack of exercise is my greatest struggle. So, I developed what worked for me in the video and pix below. Do you know what the best exercise is? The ones you are going to do! Just move! It doesn't have to take too much extra time. For example, I run up 5 to 10 flights of stairs in 1 to 2 min every time I have to go to the bathroom at my office. Of course you are drinking your water right? If you don't you won't need to go urinate! If you don't use it, you _______ it! Lose!

We all know we need to move. Sitting is one of the worst things we can do except when resting. If you are like me, I will find ways to procrastinate exercise, I’ll make up excuses; “I’m too busy” “I don’t feel like it” “Takes too much time”. Well now I don’t have any excuses, I love this 4 minute exercise routine to help keep me young. I hope you do too!

FAQ: I’m confused about all the EMF products out there. Which works? Which don’t work? See video below:

FAQ: Do Stetzerizers work?

FAQ: What Can I Do Right Now to Protect Myself?

It is near impossible to avoid EMF’s in today’s modern society so we suggest remediation with products that work! But here are ways to help avoid EMF’s:

For Those Who Do NOT Have Products That Are Proven On Human Cells To Work… They Might Want To Follow These Helpful Guidelines To Achieve Digital Well-Being: 

1. Try to switch off your devices at night and when not in use: mobile phones, laptops, wifi routers, Bluetooth, etc. 

2. Increase distance: for example, sit at arm’s length from your computer or re-position electric alarm clocks farther away from your body while in bed. If you are using the ROOM HARMONIZER by your bed or computer this should help greatly. Hold your cell phone away from your body at least 1 inch or more, especially when in use. (Read Cell Phone instructions and warnings and you’ll see most advise this already yet almost nobody reads these suggestions of course.) Fans produce huge Electromagnetic Fields so keep these FAR from where you sit or sleep and AVOID ceiling fans altogether! Or call us for advice on how to remediate these with a DEVICE CHIP.

3. Set your personal digital well-being goals. Install apps to monitor and control and reduce screen time to prevent over-usage and disable the devices the rest of the time.

4. If you have the ability to go outside and spend 20 to 30 minutes+ in bare feet or non-rubber soled shoes on the grass or ground to get rid of excess charges that can make things worse.

5. Sleep with your cell phone on either airplane mode or as far away as possible.

6. Keep Bluetooth and Wi-Fi devices OUT of the bedroom, such as baby monitors, Alexa or Google Home, Routers, Gaming Stations, Smart TVs (although when these are “off” they stop emitting microwaves), etc.

7. Avoid (or remediate) Google Home, Alexa, X-Box or Play Station along with all bluetooth headsets and quite frankly anything bluetooth or Wi-Fi that isn’t remediated correctly.

8. Do not sleep on an adjustable bed or any other bed that plugs into an outlet.

9. Most do not know but don’t fans or ceiling fans, or at least keep the fans very far from the bed. Avoid them unless you have a DEVICE CHIP on it and even then you should still keep these over 6 feet from the edge of your bed. Surprisingly they produce large, disruptive EMF fields around them which produce “Front & Back” EMF’s.

10. Limit your time with tech and spend more time with your family and friends or people you enjoy. Spending time with loved ones and close to nature can be an efficient way to minimize digital distractions

11. As harmful radiation emitted by these devices is one of the biggest threats to humans: make sure to place your home WiFi router at a safe distance from where you and your family spend the most time and some even replace the wireless network with a hardwired internet connection wherever possible (especially in places equipped with multiple devices such as computer labs)

12. “Disable” the Wi-Fi or Bluetooth on as many devices as you can. For example, EMF Solutions Representative, Dr. Paul uses corded earphones and puts wireless devices like Health watches on Airplane mode so it does not emit Microwave Radiation. You can also do this for Wi-Fi printers that you use cords with, etc.

13. Avoid living near powerlines, transformers (on powerline poles), large outdoor electrical boxes, cell phone towers or antennas, or other common sense sources of EMF exposure. If you already do then call us. If you are in the San Diego area we’ll likely give you a free estimate for remediating your entire house or apartment and from ALL of these devices around your home.

14. Repair faulty wiring which may be generating higher than usual EMF.

15. Get something to help remediate your automobile, especially if you spend a lot of time driving. (Automobiles can be one of the worst places for EMF exposure so don’t forget this important spot! Our product, the Appliance Harmonizer, is one of the only in the world addressing automobile issues.)

16. Do not use or at least turn off electric blankets before getting into bed.

17. Do NOT leave your cell phone close to your head, plugged in, or sitting on your bed while sleeping UNLESS you are using the EMF Cell Chip product. Iphone 12 or newer requires different cell protection chip than ALL other cell phones.

EMF health products come in various forms to suit your needs and work on all low-frequency EMFs including 5G. These products include the XL Band, Personal Cards, Room and Car harmonizers, Device Chips, and much more. These EMF protection products are easy to use and nearly completely eliminate radiation risk. EMF Solutions makes EMF remediation products for your cell phone, wireless devices, entire home, office, car, and body when on the go. Based on proven bio-energetic technology, EMF protection products are super unique in that they address the root cause of EMF issues and protect you from harmful radiation.

And EMF Solutions products are the only ones in the world to ever show that the cellular changes caused by EMFs are completely normalized… or fixed by using EMF Solutions’ products. See more on this on tabs called “EMF Education” and “How the Products Work” at www.emfsol.com

Digital wellness is the need of the hour, and EMF radiation protection is the only way forward.

*** Disclaimer: All of these products are earth based and were tested extensively using Proprietary advanced equipment, independent lab testing, blood testing, mold testing, thermography and Kinesiology testing by a number of professional holistic practitioners all of which have concluded the same or similar results against WIFI, A/C, power lines, automobile EMF’s, electrical appliances, cell phones, cell towers, and computers and laptops. Also there are numerous clients using the products who have made these claims. These products DO NOT reduce EMF’s but rather harmonize them by using proprietary products which filter the EMF

How to Relieve Neck Pain

Here is great neck routine I give to many of my patients.

I have treated a lot of neck pain over the last 30 years and developed the Body Intelligent Technique to help resolve it. These exercises along with Body Intelligent Body Technique using Arthosoothe works great the majority of the time. That along with foundational strategies goes a long way to not only relieve the neck pain but prevent it from coming back.

How To Take A Homeopathic Remedy

"My brain is working a thousand times better"

Not All Supplements Are Created Equal

There are 100's of products that people ask me about. I can't vouch for the quality of any other product except for the ones I have vetted.   Lower quality = lower results and potential  harm.    I stick to the brands I use because of quality, reduced toxicity and the resulting effectiveness on your health.   Feel free however to research quality on your own if you choose your own products: As long as they are the same quality and ingredients then you can use them but I can only coach you on the ones from our clinic because I don't have time to research other products.  

Watch this and learn more about how to protect yourself so that you can have optimum wellness, energy and vitality!

Foundational Steps towards Wellness

I can't overemphasize how important simple habits are to your sanity not to mention your health

I say these things to my patients very, very often because I want to ingrain it in their heads. I’ll say it again because it’s so important: I can’t overemphasize doing the things below to aid your healing journey. Many come in desperate in pain, with cancer or other disease, like allergies or autoimmune issues. How they got to my office is a story of deprivation often missing one or more components below. Your body will be operating at a deficit if you don’t do these things. Southern California is fast paced, full of demands and stress that will eat your health up unless you are intentional about being healthy. What are the simple, nuts and bolts daily activities to keep you energetic and vibrant?

Your daily energy to live comes from stored energy in the body. My whole goal with treatment is to charge up cells that are weak. Did you know that cancer cells have the lowest charge? Stress, nutritional deficiencies, Injuries, lack of sun, dehydration, lack of sleep, etc are dis-chargers. You are charged up after a treatment which normalizes body energy and therefore cleansing and nutrient absorption capabilities. What are the practical everyday healthy tools? For you, one thing may be more important than others especially if you're not getting one of these items regularly. So focus on those items that you need to work on the most.

S’s for Successful Health

1. Sleep and rest at least seven to eight hours, preferably 8. If you don’t rest your don’t heal! I ask every one of my patients how they are sleeping and address the cause of their lack of sleep from the start.

2. Shift away from Electro smog. This is most common cause of sleep issues. In our modern culture, we are so over exposed to electrical smog from Wi-Fi, cell phone, cordless phones Etc, that some authorities call it the greatest health threat of our day. It is critical that you ground yourself to the natural PEMF- pulse electromagnetic frequency of the earth. Go out in the sun. Walk Barefoot on the grass or sand. Touch a tree. Get PEMF at our office. Get your home remediated. Implement things to do now to reduce electro smog on your body.

3. Supply and Stay Nourished & get Support from at least 1 other person that builds you up, particularly with regard to healthy eating. If they tend towards discouraging you, they may not be the best accountability partner. If necessary get, professional accountability at first if you are at your wits end. I encourage that if you have been diagnosed or or suspect cancer, heart disease, chronic pain or Autoimmune issues. Supplementation with high quality, non toxic supplements will probably be necessary. We use a Science based approach to measure what you need for vitamins, herbs, etc…

4. Sift/Cleanse with pure water. Poorly filtered refrigerated water or God forbid, tap water is Nasty! If you knew what was in tap water, you would cringe. Drink 1/2 your body weight in oz. 96 oz maximum. More water if you are sweating a lot. I prefer Berkey water or Reverse Osmosis not only for effectiveness in purifying water but for cost savings as well.

5. Sensitize yourself to your Body’s needs. Listen to your body get power naps if necessary. Fight Stress with quiet times and stress reduction techniques. Deep breathing or walks or…?

6. Steps towards body movement are critical for not only oxygenation but also for rejuvenating and refreshing your body. It’s great to help maintain your bodies youthfulness. If time is your greatest hindrance, here is a great 4 min exercise to multiply your workouts.
   

Additional:

6. Sanitize and support your body with Apple Cider vinegar and other fermented foods daily. Fermented food are powerful for your Gut community. Earth tooth paste is not only great for infections and pain on your on all areas of discomfort as well as scar tissue till it drys, the thicker the paste the more the detox. Please avoid sensitive areas like eyes.

7. Sanitize with Epsom salt bath for 30 minutes, full body if you can, but at least the hands and feet for 30 minutes each, I like using Magnagel which is Epson salt (magnesium) in a bottle. We are a culture depleted in our Magnesium do to poor agricultural methods and eating habits.

Kwik Way to Stay Fit!

We all know we need to move. Sitting is one of the worst things we can do except when resting. If you are like me, I will find ways to procrastinate exercise, I’ll make up excuses; “I’m too busy” “I don’t feel like it” “Takes too much time”. Well now I don’t have any excuses, I love this 4 minute exercise routine to help keep me young. I hope you do too!

7 Top Guideposts to Get Your Health Back

Today I'm going to talk about the 7 top things that you can do to monitor scientifically your health and stack the favor in your odds for enjoying health now and in the future.

Why Am I Taking Supplements if I Don't Feel Any Different?

Do you know if your supplements are helping you or not when you don't feel any different? Some patients are at the brink of death, have cancer or other disease when they are referred to my office and I'm so grateful when profound change happens naturally.   One medical doctor said to my patient "It's a miracle that you're still alive". Within 4 weeks, his quality of life increased dramatically because of simple changes I started to implement with him.  These were simple strategies that allowed his body to heal on its own. But what if you don’t have many symptoms?  I applaud you if you are living preventatively! If you are not being proactive,  I wanted to encourage you so that you can save yourself a lot of money in the long run.  Did you know that health issues are the number one cause of money bankruptcy (BK)?  It can ominously pervade into every pore of your life causing relationship and emotional BK as well.

 “Did you know that your liver and your pancreas have to fail about 90% before you have symptoms? “

If you are like me, my temptation is too procrastinate about my health. Why?  Because I feel "fine".  Did you know that your liver and your pancreas have to fail about 90% before you have symptoms? Have you heard or know of anyone suddenly dying or being diagnosed with stage 4 metastatic cancer? One 48 year old women was diagnosed with 8-10 years to live even with chemo and radiation.  She educated herself and elected to take the “Science based Nutrition” approach. 12 years later, she is living vibrantly with complete cancer remission without chemo, radiation or surgery.

I would say that at least 90% of my patients are shocked with the amount of pills that I take, it's not a random thing that I do and I don't search the internet for which supplements I need to take, I use a science-based approach, analyzing blood, urine and hair to see what nutrients I need. So what do I feel when I take all the supplements? Sometimes nothing.  But then I reap results over time.  It's like if you plant a seed, does it become mature over night? No! It takes time for that plant, fruit or vegetable to grow into something beautiful that you can enjoy. Yes, if you have symptoms, you usually start feeling better if you persist! It could just be 2 weeks for some and months for some if they have severe imbalances

What is the difference between a medical approach vs a more comprehensive approach to health? 

If you take a look at the a medical approach to solving a disease, they say that these drugs treat the disease whether it would be cancer, heart disease or whatever, but does it really cure it? Before I did this work, my mom thought she had remission from breast cancer.   Remission, in the medical definition is no evidence of disease.  Classically, someone is in 100% remission if the disease does not come back in 5 years.   Well, my mom died 4 years after they said she was cured of the cancer.  It spread throughout her body and I watched her die in front of me from the cancer. I’m really sad I did not know how to help her get healthy back then. 

When I take a comprehensive approach, it’s not to treat a disease.  It’s to stack the favor in my odds by getting healthy. Questions I usually pose to my patients:

Q. Can you be healthy and have disease at the same time?

Q. Can you have cancer destroying your body and be healthy at the same time?

That doesn't make sense does it? I believe a healthy body fights cancer well! We've seen stage 4 cancer turn around by helping people get healthier.

“The reductionist approach is the “standard of care” in the medical field”

As an example of the reductionist philosophy, you go to your medical doctor for a symptom.  The doctor tells you need this drug. You swallow it and it gives you an immediate effect. The reductionist mindset only thinks about reducing the symptoms rather than address the cause of the symptoms.  Drugs have immediate profound effects to force your body to do something but also have collateral damage on your body. Every drug has negative side effects. So while I think its okay to take it for an acute emergency situation, I believe it's the wrong approach to dealing with a chronic health issue. Please make sure to analyze the cost/benefit ratio when deciding on any treatment. The reductionist approach is the “standard of care” in the medical field.

On the other hand, taking a “comprehensive” view of your body is much different then the “reductionist” approach.  Analyzing all the aspects that contribute to health are essential to tipping the odds of health to your side.  This involves factors like diet, lifestyle, environmental and even emotional well being.  It strives to balance your body with the goal of not only minimizing symptoms but preventing disease.

There is a barrage of information on the internet and it can be confusing.  I love using a simple, evidence based approach by looking deeper for causes that show up much sooner in blood, hair and urine analysis (ex for toxic heavy metals).  Once we know the root issues, we guide you through a comprehensive plan to get you healthy, and then retest periodically to check for progress.  This process has worked with hundreds of doctors who have helped thousands of patients over 30 years.  Confusion is eliminated.

“Remember, growing a beautiful flower, tree or healthy body for that matter takes time.  Persistence, discipline and following my recommendations will reap its rewards over your seasons of life”

Please don’t Procrastinate

I hope that you don’t have to go to a funeral or suffer unnecessarily with a disease to start getting healthy now.  I'm here to give you perspective. I see patients every day that gives me perspective everyday. This helps me to stay motivated and on track. I've also suffered with prior health issues that make me motivated as well. What's going to make you motivated? Is my coaching enough? You are ultimately the one that decides and I believe it starts with education. I have many articles on drkwik.com/blog to help you get started. Did you know that most of the people that follow a comprehensive approach are more educated? This is kind of dramatic but I think it brings home the point.  When I’m old, I don't want to have Alzheimer’s and forget my children or have them change my diapers while I’m drooling on my bed. I want to be active and alive, enjoying my kids and grandkids.  Is that possible? I believe it is.

Are You Willing to Do What it Takes to Beat Diabetes and Obesity?

Diabetes is a growing epidemic problem. In 2016 a recent study showed that our life expectancy is actually declining in the United States. Heart disease was number one cause of mortality, cancer was the number two cause and they determined through this study that diabetes is the number 3 cause. It's startling that the American diabetic Association says one out of every two Americans is either pre-diabetic or has diabetes. You can do something about it! Start by learning! Start by being frustrated enough that you're willing to create a new chapter in your life! Watch these videos below to learn more.

Top Six Things Contributing to Constipation

There are many things that can contribute to constipation. It can be miserable especially if you have a history of it.

The most important thing is figuring out what is causing the problem. There are multiple causes but I have found through clinical experience the top things below. Here are simple starting steps so you can flow and not be backed up:

1. Are you drinking enough water? Water is essential ingredient to life and makes up most of your body. So if you're not consuming proper amounts of water then you need to to do that. It has a serious effect on major health issues in the body. One patient called me and said she was feeling lousy. She was on my tailored Nutrition program to cleanse her body. I asked her if she was drinking enough water. She said no. Her symptoms cleared up once she hydrated herself. You want to drink up to 96 ounces per day depending on your body weight. I recommend drinking a quart of water for every 50 lb of body weight. 

2. Are you having 4 cups of Vegetables measured raw per day? Here is a link to measuring vegies so you know how much you are having:

3. Fill in the blank, 2 of the most common nutrients lacking in our diet are: _______________________

Answer: Magnesium and Vitamin C. I have found these nutrients helpful for overall health and bowel movements. The Magnesium Citrate version is best for constipation. Start with dosage on the back and increase 1 serving daily till bowel tolerance (soft stools/diarrhea), then back up to the prior dosage. Do this for both supplements. Quality brands are essential for this. We use Designs for health, Stellar C and MagCitrate Powder.

4. Are you Stressed on the toilet? If you are you won’t go. Stress = Bowel Constriction, Relaxation = Bowel opening up. Its like a kinking a water hose when you are stressed. Counteract stress with the following:

• Deep breathing

• Gargling with no liquid in your mouth. This stimulates the relaxation nerve (Vagus nerve) to relax your body. It is wierd but it works!

• Side note: Sometimes putting a small stool underneath your feet can reposition your tailbone for easier elimination.

5. Environmental Toxins https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2551954.

• My observation is that every patient that has walked in for my Nutritional Consult has had too much heavy metals in their body. This can cause constipation. See ncbi reference above and do your own research as well. Toxic exposure is only getting worse as time goes on. Heavy metals, antibiotics, insecticides, pesticides, other pharmaceuticals & even radioactive uranium are in the water we drink and the food we eat. Please make sure that the water is purified either through a reverse osmosis or Berkey filtration system. If you are using bottled water, I recommend using Aquafina or Dasani water because I know that those are filtered with reverse osmosis. You can check other types of water by calling the company and asking if they use reverse osmosis. Personally, I use the Berkey filtration system which is 2 cents a gallon for the main filters and six cents a gallon for the fluoride/arsenic filters. I believe its the most effective at toxin removal while being the most cost-effective. Additionally, reverse osmosis takes away all the essential nutrients while the Berkey retains those. Minerals are in the same “family” as heavy metals, they all talk to each other and help “transport” heavy metals out of your body. Just search it up online and you'll see how critical minerals are for thousands of chemical reactions in your body as well.

• Antibiotics in water and food. What is the most abundant in your body? Can you count to 37 trillion? That is how many body cells you have. What outnumbers the cells in your body? Can you count to 100 trillion? That is how many good bacteria are in your body. Your Digestive system hosts a majority of them. Antibiotics kill them! It's in food and water and can have residual effects today even though you had them many years prior! What does the good bacteria family do?

• Helps with Depression by producing seritonin, the feel good chemical (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4393509/).

• Helps with constipation (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4951383/).

• Host of other things as well.

The Bottom line; Filter your water, buy organic fruits and vegetables. Buy properly fed & treated animals which have been allowed to graze. If tight on budget, wash your fruits and vegetables with a cleanser as well as eat hormone and antibiotic free animal food sources.

6. Body Work

• Body work would involve movement of the body at home and sometimes getting professional help, if needed. The body works by communication just like human beings need to communicate. Your body communicates through the brain and sends signals to the rest of the body to tell it what it should do and the body responds by telling a signal back to the brain using a feedback mechanism. Your vital organs communicate automatically through the autonomic nervous system which controls your stress and relaxation systems but it works through the conscious mind when your lifting something using muscles. Both of those require communication.

• There's another set of communication pathways that happens on the skin surface called meridians (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25206574) . Acupressure without needles, which we do at our office, are ways to unblock short circuits of these communication pathways. I liken it to an orchestra singing a beautiful song and all the players are in perfect tune and harmony. These short circuits on the surface of the skin (meridians) or blockages of the actual nervous system (brain/spinal cord/nerves) can be helped with home treatment or if necessary, chiropractic care, or acupressure. This movement, song or dance, if you will, of your body through the nerves of the body and the meridians can be short circuited and cause your colon to be constipated.

  Testimony:

  One of my most recent patients was referred to by another patient. He was pretty much at death's door. After starting with me, the doctors said it was a miracle that he was still alive. He had been admitted to the hospital for a ruptured aortic aneurysm. He was in a coma for one month and by the time he got here he was at 30% heart function, severely constipated and on narcotic drugs for pain, he wasn't getting any sleep, he had lost 30 lbs, and diagnosed with cancer and liver failure. To say the least, his life was miserable!

  We did the foundational lab tests on him, analyzed what he needed from the lab tests and started creating a new story for him! After he started my program, here is what happened in 1 month:

• Heart function improved from 30% to 50%

• Gained 20 lbs

• Pain gone

• Constipation gone

• Thankful to me because he was able to enjoy Thanksgiving and Christmas

• Sleep improved 20%

  Not everybody is is at death's door when they come in. I'm hoping that you'll talk to me much sooner than that! It'll be easier for me and especially for you so that you don’t needlessly suffer.
  
  So those are the top things associated with constipation I hope you got benefit from this.
