Be Healthy Now

It has been too long since I checked in with
all of you, but the days of summer just fly by.

The world seems to be crumbling as we speak. I am fortunate to
live in Portland, Oregon, where we take seriously the issues of
health and our ecosystem. One of the networks I belong to sent
me an e-mail about one of our members. She was in Turkey, and
needed an eye operation in order to save her eye. I don’t know
about you, but a month doesn’t go by that someone I know and
care about can’t get the care they deserve. In one week,we
managed to raise $3000 to send her for her operation.

As many of us get older, we are going to have to rely more
and more on our own social networks. I encourage you to reach
out. It really feels good to help someone in need. And who
knows, some day that someone might be you.

Just the other day, I received a heartbreaking phone call.
Martha Colson, a lovely woman from Indiana, called to tell me
that she loved the Chi Vitalizer she bought from the
AllAboutNetwork, but that she had to order a replacement.
I asked her why and she told me that it was destroyed in one of
the terrible flood in the Midwest earlier this summer.

Here’s what she had to say. “I am 73 years old and have had
life-long scoliosis. In recent years I have developed a
degenerative disc disorder. The Chi Vitalizer relaxed the tight
and aching muscles associated with my conditions.” After hearing
of her loss and how much enjoyment she got out of her chi
machine, I had to do something.

Hopefully the new Chi Vitalizer that I sent her will help to
relieve the stresses associated with rebuilding her life after
this tragedy. That act of kindness reminded me why I am in this
business. I love helping people!

I hope that by sharing this story, I have inspired you to make a
difference in the life of someone you know, or even in your own
life. You owe it to yourself and the world around you.

Americans spent $16.7 billion on organic food and beverages in 2006, a 126 percent increase in just five years, according to the Organic Trade Association, an industry trade group. Analysts have been telling us that the demand for organic products will drive prices down, but even though organic sales are growing every year they still carry a hefty premium.

Just how high it too high? A local organic produce company here in Portland, Oregon will deliver a weeks supply of organic fruits and vegetables for one person for $30. That’s $120 per month! According to a  recent New York Times article, rising  prices for organic groceries are prompting some consumers to question their devotion to food produced without chemicals, fertilizers, or antibiotics. Don’t sacrifice your health. Healthy dietary supplements make it possible to get the benefits of organic foods at a fraction of the price.

As we enter the months of summer, it seems like everything is more expensive.  Gasoline is over $4 a gallon in most of the country and food costs are rising like never before. These costs can add up and at the end of the month, there’s usually not much money left over to spend on yourself. Some perceived luxuries, like massages, are often ignored. In many parts of the country, a private masseur can cost more than $50 per hour, depending on the services offered.

 But are massages really luxuries? No! You have the right to feel relaxed and healthy, just as you have the right to a roof over your head and food on your table. Ignoring your body can lead to disastrous consequences. Performance at work can suffer, as can relationships with friends and family.

Spring has sprung and this means that allergy season is upon us. For allergy sufferers, the waning of winter is a cause for anxiety. Pollen, one of the major triggers of seasonal allergies, causes embarrassing runny noses, uncontrollable sneezing fits and dry, itchy eyes. According to allergist Lawrence B. Schwartz of Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, some 20% of Americans suffer from seasonal allergies. But why do some people get this tormenting reaction and others don’t? Some studies link seasonal allergies to an out of balance immune system. Other studies show stress as a major factor in immune system imbalances. The Chi Machine is a convenient and easy to use solution for stress and seasonal allergies.

The Chi Machine stimulates globulin production which increases the immune system’s difference capacity thereby providing greater freedom from allergies, disorders and disease. Using the Chi Machine just 5-15 minutes a day also relaxes the body and mind. Many people start to see the beneficial effects of the Chi Machine exerciser after only a few minutes of using it.

The Chi Vitalizer CY-106, sold by AllAboutChi.com, is an excellent alternative to traditional seasonal allergy remedies. Doctors often prescribe antihistamines as a blanket treatment for seasonal allergies. While antihistamines do relieve most symptoms, they are notorious for causing drowsiness. In addition to causing unpleasant side effects, antihistamines treat the symptoms and not the causes. A recent study of 351 adults found that 26% had turned to alternative treatments for allergy relief and many seek out preventative treatment. Are you ready to take the next step in improving your health and well being?

It’s been ten years since I’ve taken a pharmaceutical medication. At that time, I had just had surgery and was in great need of pain relief. Had the results of a recent study been available, I would have spoken with my doctor about a safer way to soothe my discomfort. 

Published in the Archives of Surgery, the study followed 605 men undergoing major surgery. Two hundred of the men received a twenty minute back massage each night for four nights following the procedure. The men who were massages reported experiencing a faster reduction in the intensity of their pain and less overall discomfort. 

Allison Mitchinson, one of the authors of the article, believes that massage may work through multiple pathways to provide pain relief. Among these are easing anxieties, dilating the blood vessels, raising body temperature and causing the release of endorphins. 

It’s becoming ever more evident that alternative therapies have a clear role to play in our conventional medical system. As Dr. Marie Hanna of Johns Hopkins University comments:

“Increased awareness for better pain control has led treating physicians to use nontraditional modalities such as massage therapy, music, and relaxation techniques.”
