Tired of Feeling Jet Lagged?

June 30th, 2009 No comments

Do you lose a day when you travel by plane because you feel jet lagged?

Mark had to fly across the country a lot for work and preferred to travel the day before so that he’d have time to recover from the jet lag before having to start a job.  He borrowed a pair of magnetic insoles to see if they would help.  For his next job he had to fly out from Alabama to Nevada, drive 3 hours more to the job site, then get to work immediately.  He said that he didn’t experience anywhere near the level of jet lag that he normally felt.  The insoles helped a lot.

The idea behind this is that the Earth is a very big magnet and we depend on the Earth’s magnetic field to function properly.  Magnetic field strength, like sound, drops off by the square of the distance.  For example, at 10 feet away from a magnet you will experience one quarter the affect that you experience at 5 feet away.  When you fly in a plane you are 25,000 to 30,000 feet away from the earth.  Magnetic insoles and other items supplement the magnetic field around the body to help it function better.

An Easier Way to Deal with Trigger Points

June 16th, 2009 No comments

Do you have trouble with places that are sore or tight in your shoulders and/or upper back?  In massage we call them knots or trigger points.  If you go to see a massage therapist about this it will probably hurt because we are taught to press on them and hold until the intensity decreases.  It is also hard on the therapist’s thumbs.  It is no fun for either the client or the therapist.

There is a better way.  Magnets do wonders for releasing trigger points and there are two magnetic tools that I use when dealing with them.

First are MagBoys.  These are small magnetic balls in a holder that I use to roll rapidly over the trigger point for a few minutes.  Unlike Trigger Point Therapy, it doesn’t hurt.  Actually, it feels really good and the trigger point melts away.

Second are Power Patches.  PowerPatches are small magnetic buttons stuck to a self-adhesive disk that can be placed directly over the trigger point.  It takes longer to relieve the trigger point, but if you put the patch on before going to bed then the discomfort will probably be gone by morning.

I love using magnets when doing massage and taking care of aches and pains.  I find that clients tense up if they feel pain, like in the usual way of dealing with muscle knots, so magnets work much better because there is no additional pain and they promote relaxation.

Shower Filter to Remove Chlorine in the Shower

June 12th, 2009 No comments

If you have chlorinated water then you need a shower filter to remove the chlorine.

Have you noticed that the chlorine smell is worse in your shower than it is just coming out of your kitchen tap?  The shower head spreads the water out giving it more surface area and the water is hot so the chlorine comes out of the water very easily.  And in the shower you have no choice but to breathe it in.

Ah!  Nothing like a breath of fresh chlorine to wake you up in the morning.

Unfortunately chlorine is a poisonous gas put their to kill things in your water.  Here are a few of the things I have found that chlorine in the shower can contribute to:

  • respiratory problems from breathing the chlorine gas.
  • dry, brittle hair – I had a friend complain about this.
  • dry skin issues like dandruff, flaking, itching, and rashes.
  • eye irritations
  • ear irritations – my grandmother has problems here when camping.

The solution is a good shower water filter that will remove the chlorine.  I use one that works well for a lot of people I know.

Problems With Preservatives

June 6th, 2009 No comments

I posted about a month ago about how there are so many companies out there pushing their nutritional juice and that most of them have preservatives.  Well, I received an email this morning from my upline about a comparison between our product, Ciaga, with a competing product.  I won’t name the other company because my point isn’t to bash them and their product, but to point out that you really need to watch out when preservatives are involved.

It turns out that their product includes Sodium Benzoate, a preservative, which can react with the high Vitamin C content to produce Benzene.  Benzene is an organic solvent that is known to cause cancer and liver damage.  I recommend that when you are going to put something in your body, you read the label first and see what it is.  Reconsider products with artificial ingredients because you never know how they will react with the other chemicals added, or the food itself.  Consider 100% natural or,  better yet, organic alternatives that contain only what is advertised and promote better living.

Our product, Ciaga, is 100% natural containing 97% juices and 3% fruit solids.  It contains no preservatives, added sugar, or added water.

BTW, I also found out that added water means “reconstituted from dried fruit powder”.  Ciaga is definitely NOT reconstituted.
