Sex feels good. And the proper amount of sex can help maintain your physical and emotional health. Sex is important for relationships, not just emotionally, but for the organ systems as well. But balance is the key.
Did you know that having too little or too much sex can both lead to unhealthy conditions? It’s true!
As a doctor of traditional Chinese medicine, maintaining balance in all life’s activities is what I strive for… in myself and in my patients. Let us look at the effects of too much sex, too little sex, and what the proper amounts should be, based on your age and condition.
Whether you have back pain, sciatica, neck or shoulder pain, headaches, PMS, tendonitis or something other… you have by now sought out alternative practices to relieve your suffering. Yes, the prescription meds helped a bit, for a while. But when they wore off, you had to take more… and more.
And now you are seeing an acupuncturist, a chiropractor, a massage therapist or some other holistic therapist and are finding that the requirements to do what is asked of you (outside of appointments), is just not quite fitting into your busy daily schedule.
Taking personal responsibility for your own health is difficult, requiring dedication and patience. Life is tough.
It seems we all, in our quest for health, well-being or simple pain relief, encounter the same set of barriers. These are things that seem either to be in our way or to fall along our path as we traverse it on our way to feeling good. And while everyone has a different set of stumbling blocks, the following three are by far the most common.
Many revolve around religious ceremonies and coming-of-age celebrations.
What marks them as so unique is that they reoccur at the same special place and time and always hold meaning and deep value for the celebrants.
The United States has few rituals anymore. Yes we have Holy Communion and sweet sixteen parties. And for some, the grinding of coffee beans and filling of he automatic drip is a morning ritual they cannot do without. Perhaps it’s not quite as automatic as getting up for work, but over time what’s special about making the first cup can become a little routine.
It’s fair to say that it is a lack of rituals with meaning that makes many Americans feel as if their lives are devoid of something… special.

Read this immediately if you’ve ever used
massage to treat painful muscles, or plan to get
a therapeutic massage anytime in the near future
From the Desk of:
Steve Hefferon
I have a confession to make as a massage therapist.
If you’ve ever gotten a massage to treat muscle-pain in your neck & back, legs & hips or some other part of your body… you probably didn’t need to spend the money.
Because there are FOUR MAJOR FLAWS with massage therapy you should know about.
Massage Therapy Flaw #1: Massage is not a one-time fix for muscle pain. You feel great when you get one and for awhile afterwards.
But a week or two goes by and your muscles start to hurt again. For lasting relief you’ll need to go back often, and at $80-$150 a pop massage therapy gets very expensive over time.
Massage Therapy Flaw #2: Because it’s so expensive you put off going for months at a time. Some people almost never get the treatments they need for no other reason than they can’t afford them.
It’s a shame. You shouldn’t have to be Donald Trump to get relief from painful muscles.
Massage Therapy Flaw #3: You’re not getting instant treatment. You have to schedule a session, wait around with painful muscles for days or weeks.
It would be so much better if you could get a deep-tissue massage whenever you want it.
Massage Therapy Flaw #4: You can walk away feeling worse than before the massage. Some people hate getting deep-tissue massages because they feel so bad afterward.
Why? Because aggressive massage creates micro-tears in the muscles, often activating dormant trigger points, causing pain.
In a perfect world you’d have a personal
masseuse CAREFULLY massage away your aches and pains
each and every night…
Well, say hello to a perfect world ….
You’re going to love this.
There is a way to get a “personal masseuse” to give you gentle, deep massages every day of the year - and you don’t have to spend $30,000 to keep him on staff.
I’m talking about a home massage-therapy system you can use right away to melt away the tiny knots in your muscles.
For about 40-cents a day you can get a daily deep-tissue massage to relive life’s aches and pains - with NONE of the drawbacks of traditional massage therapy…
You don’t need to spend hundreds of dollars all year long to get relief… You don’t need to put off getting your massage because it costs so much… You don’t have to wait a month in between massages …
You don’t need to suffer through aggressive massages because you’ll have all the time in the world to get a gentle massage …
Your headaches… neck & jaw pain…
back-pain… joint-pain… even the numbness
in your hands and feet - are all likely caused by trigger-points in your muscles!
Here at The Healthy Back Institute we’ve talked a lot about how trigger points - the tiny knots that form in your muscles - are the source of so many types of pain …
Discovered by President John F. Kennedy’s doctor, trigger points in muscles are increasingly becoming recognized as the cause of up 75% of muscle and tissue pain. Seventy-five percent!
These dime-sized landmines in your tissues cause your muscles to tighten and shorten. And because they tighten your muscles they start to change the way your body moves.
They limit the movement in one muscle causing it to weaken over time.
You’ve probably experienced trigger-point painbefore - here’s how to tell for sure …
Have you ever tried to rub a sore, painful muscle and no matter what you did you couldn’t quite “get” to the painful spot?
Those are trigger points!
It’s called “referred pain” and it’s when the real cause of the pain is a point in the muscle but you FEEL the pain several inches away - so you can never quite find the perfect spot to massage.
I’d like to send you a 90 minute video
and a trigger-point guidebook to show you how to identify your body’s trigger-points
In them you’ll get an atlas of your body’s trigger-points so you can find the (often surprising) points to relieve pain you may have had for years - including …
Trigger-points causing mid-back pain
Trigger-points causing low-back pain
Trigger-points causing upper-back pain

Trigger points causing neck pain
Trigger-points causing shoulder pain
And more!

P.S. Don’t take my word for it, ask the folks who’ve already used it…
“Incredible!”
“This system is incredible! I can move, run, and exercise again. It is fantastic to know that I can do something positive to get rid of my pain. I threw out all of my pills. Now I just pop on the system and dig out those trigger points.”
~Cindy T. Macon, GA
“I’m not in constant pain anymore!”
“My life is so much easier to handle without being in constant pain. The system has given me the freedom I was looking for. Everyone needs to try one!”

“My whiplash is GONE!”
“Because of a whiplash injury, I had years of chronic upper back and neck pain, but not anymore! Thanks to this unique fantastic little device.”
I just spoke to my mom the other day who has been battling back pain for over a decade now… in fact, it was her initial bout of back pain all those years ago that drove me to find a solution.
I remember thinking “there had to be a better way” and boy was I right. Anyway, she was telling me about a procedure that her doctor recommended and the first thing that jumped out at me was she was willing to do the “quick and easy” treatment before committing to the harder, but more effective alternatives.
While this particular treatment may be effective, the fact is it’s not a sure thing, there are potential side effects, and like most common treatments, it does NOT do anything to address what created the condition in the first place.
Yet she was sold on the idea and placed it higher on her to do list then two other treatments I recommended that were “harder” but had little or no negative side effects.
Now part of this may be because her “doctor” recommended it but part of it is also human nature… we tend to always look for the “easy way” and while this may be good in some situations, it’s bad when it comes to health because most of the time, the quick and easy way is not the most effective… and it’s also often the method which has the most cons or side effects.
As I’ve said many times before, every persons situation is different and the combination of treatments that works for one person may not work for another.
And while my mom has made good progress using my Lose The Back Pain system and other treatments I have recommended to her, she still is not 100%… plus it doesn’t help that she recently slipped and fell (again).
Like most people, she’s looking for that “one thing” that will finally put an END to her pain… but what I’ve found over all these years working with so many people is that it’s pretty rare that just one thing will eliminate all of your pain.
Sometimes it happens, but more often what does the trick is a combination of treatments and therapies… and the more specific they are to your physical situation (the muscle imbalances you have, the condition you’ve been diagnosed with, your emotional state, etc) the better the results you’ll see.
So here’s my list of the
“Top 10 Back Pain Treatments”:
1. Mind-Body Therapy
(hypnosis, emotional freedom therapy - this is far bigger than most people realize)
If you are sitting there right now with pain and have not tried all of the above, get to work. And if you have tried them all, which is highly unlikely, then let me know and I’ll give you a list of even more treatments.
The point is this, the people who get lasting relief are the ones who DON’T STOP until they find the answer. You must be relentless if you want to beat this.
I know it’s not easy but you CAN do this… you, and all others, have the power and ability to heal yourself but it requires determination, focus, hard work, patience, perseverance and most importantly, ACTION. So what are you going to do to make this happen?
Remember, I and the rest of my team are here for you… as well as the thousands of others who visit and share on our discussion forum.
Go make it happen… and I can’t wait to hear of your success!
Jesse
P.S. I love you mom (yes, she reads my email newsletters)
