The Importance of Fascial Release and Nerves

This month’s newsletter gives some important explanation of the fascia tissues of the body. What is fascia and what happens to nerves when the fascia is not manage through movement. You might want to watch this YouTube video “The Fuzz Speech” first before reading on, because it will make the information in the newsletter more understandable. The guy in the video, Gill Hedley, is a little unique but his “Fuzz” speech and the visional explanations of the fasical tissue are very helpful. To read more Click Here

Systemic Enzymes vs. Digestive Enzymes

by: Dr. William Wong, ND, PhD

Systemic enzymes are usually only the proteolytic (protein lysing) enzymes, they are either entericly coated or cultured to be acid and heat resistant. These enzymes are much more expensive to produce than those used for digestion even when they have the same names. Systemic enzymes are engineered to survive stomach acid and get into the small intestine where they are to be absorbed into the blood stream.

Digestive enzymes, on the other hand, have a broad range of enzymes for protein digestion, as well as for the digestion of fiber, (cellulase) carbohydrates (amylase) and fats (lipase). The products actions are limited to the GI tract and these enzymes are not generally of high quality, enteric coating or protected from the acidic stomach juices. They do not survive well nor are they present in sufficient quantity after being used for digestion to be absorbed into the blood stream.

Folks using digestive enzymes thinking to use them as systemic ones have failed because of the lack of protection of the enzymes against the stomach acid and lack of balance between the components themselves. Systemic enzymes need extreme tweaking as a blend is being “invented” to insure synergy of action. The whole blend of enzymes then needs to be put into “suspended animation” to keep the enzymes from eating each other and thus neutralizing their own action.

The Link between Osteoarthritis and Omega-3 Fats

Omega-3 Fats Incredibly Important to Treat Osteoarthritis

According to the latest animal study, a diet enriched with omega-3 fats reduced the majority of disease indicators among guinea pigs prone to developing osteoarthritis. This included both cartilage and subchondral bone changes, and the lead researcher noted that the evidence was strong that omega-3 fats may help prevent the disease and also slow its progression in those already diagnosed.

Omega-3′s impact on joint health, arthritis, and inflammation is an active area of research, as they’re known to produce compounds called resolvins and protectins, which help quell inflammation before it can do too much damage to your tissues. Several studies have been published on the remarkable effectiveness of the animal-based omega-3 fat krill oil in combating inflammation-related disorders, including arthritis. Three notable examples are:

A 2007 study in the Journal of the American College of Nutrition investigated krill oil’s ability to reduce inflammation. Researchers found that 300 mg krill oil per day significantly reduced inflammation, pain, stiffness and functional impairment after just 7 days, and even more profoundly after 14 days.

A study published in the American Journal of Gastroenterology in 2005 showed similar findings with respect to reducing inflammation and arthritis symptoms, for both rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis sufferers.

A study in Advances in Therapy found participants with moderate-to-severe hip or knee osteoarthritis who received 1,500 mg of glucosamine sulfate along with 200 mg of omega-3 had greater pain reduction and fewer osteoarthritis symptoms (morning stiffness, pain in hips and knees) than those who took glucosamine by itself.

Omega-3 is actually anti-inflammatory in a very general way, which seems to be good for most people in general, even if you’re interested in preventing a variety of diseases. For more information about the various health benefits of omega-3 fat, please review the following links:

Should You Use Ice or Heat to Treat Pain?

Ice or heat? Heat or ice? That’s probably the most common question asked about treating back pain. The best way to answer it, I have found, is to explain exactly what ice and heat do and why they help relieve pain. Once you understand the mechanism behind these treatments, you’ll be more likely to use them when your own back pain flares up.

Walkfulness Vanishes~
Being is Reveled”

1000 BC: Eating roots is pagan. Here say this pray.

1850 BC: Prayer is supersitition. Here drink think portion.

1940 BC: That portion is snake oil. Here swallow this antibotic.
