A New Look at FAT… Because it Doesn’t “Just Sit There”

Friday, December 5th, 2008

by James B. LaValle,
Pharmacist, Nutritionist, Naturopath

The discovery of “leptin” in 1994 created an explosion of interest in the “biology of white adipose tissue” - otherwise known as FAT. You probably remember those photos of seriously obese mice sitting next to their slender littermates - and the only difference between them was that the thin ones had been given this magic substance called leptin?

Major pharmaceutical companies embarked on a flurry of research, trying to discover the next “Blockbuster Drug for Weight Control,” and hoped to make a killing selling expensive drugs to desperate people.

But the results of what scientists, clinicians, and consumers have discovered since then, may turn out to be more useful to you and me than to the drug companies.

I’ve been talking about FAT as something that promotes inflammation for a very long time. I’ve also been warning my patients about dangers of the downward spiral from FAT and inflammation into serious and life-threatening illnesses.

“Managing” your FAT is a very complex process and there probably isn’t any one single pill that will ever be able to act as a “magic bullet,” and do the whole job for you. But the good news is that there are some practical strategies that may also have emerged from all the research that’s been done. And the LaValle Metabolic Institute (LMI) has more than a decade of clinical experience treating FAT and inflammation - and preventing the illnesses they can cause.

Which of These 4 Dysfunctions Is Causing Your Back-Pain?

Friday, November 28th, 2008

by Jesse Cannone,

Did you know that your back pain could be caused by your thigh muscles? Or your hip and leg muscles?

You see if your thigh, hip, leg or other muscles are out of balance your pelvis and spine get yanked right out of their natural, healthy position.
These hip-dysfunctions are actually the hidden culprit in most cases of back related pain.

And they get worse over time because they force your back muscles to start working “against the grain,” weakening them over time.

Worse, it’s almost impossible to get lasting pain relief if you never fix the dysfunction. Everything else is just the symptom - even herniated and bulging discs, sciatica and other back conditions - they’re all symptoms of the underlying imbalances.

There are really only about FOUR major hip-dysfunctions that you have to worry about:

- A forward-tipped pelvis …
- A backward-tipped pelvis …
- A high-right pelvis …
- A high-left pelvis …

The only non-hip dysfunction we see that also causes folks pain is really a neck-dysfunction which we call a forward head and shoulders.

Once you identify which of these dysfunctions is causing your pain, it’s simply a matter of stretching and strengthening the right muscles to fix the dysfunction. And many people get lasting relief in just days using thiese simple, self-treatments - even when everything else gave them only temporary relief… if any at all.

So if you haven’t done so already, I want to make sure you get a proper diagnosis of the neck or hip-dysfunctions causing your pain, otherwise no treatment will ever give you permanent relief.

That’s why I want you to know you can click here to get Lose The Back Pain: The only Self-Diagnosis and Self-Treatment System That Addresses Both The Causes And The Symptoms of back-pain. That way you’ll be able to identify which neck or hip-dysfunctions you have and get a personalized self-treatment plan to fix them.

Hello Steve,

Thanks for your e-mail.
I got my system on Nov.7 and have been going through it. I am happy to tell you that I am very pleased with the results so far. I suffered from severe sciatic pain down my left leg and with the assesment book, I was able to identify my disfunctions; high hip and forward tipped pelvis. You guys sure know what you are talking about! I was rushed by ambulance on Halloween morning, that’s how bad it was! I though I was in for a long drawn out battle with this. I searched the web and found your site, thankfully! I was skeptical but hopefull.

I have also been taking the Heal n Soothe pills. Both , I am certain, have helped me out tremendously! I also took the advice about the inversion therapy, so I went out today and bought an inversion table, after researching the effects , it all made total sence. Even after 15 minutes on it I felt the relief! I am so glad this was not another one of those scams on the web.
Thank you so much, I am very confident that I will be back to better than normal sooner than I had thought!
All the best to all of you!

Sincerely yours,
Tony Savaia

Spinal Compression: What It Is and What You Can Do About It

Monday, November 24th, 2008

By Steven Hefferon, PTA, CMT,
The Healthy Back Institute

If you’re suffering back pain, it may be that your vertebrae are compressed. Compression occurs naturally from the force of gravity, but becomes a health hazard when combined with an injury, poor posture or muscle imbalances.

This excessive, restrictive compression can cause slipped discs and nerve pressure… both causing pain. The way to correct this, is by de-compressing the spinal column.

Some conditions typically treated with spinal decompression include bulging or herniated discs, lumbar strains, sciatica, degenerative discs, spinal arthritis, degenerative joint disease, post-surgical low back pain, and acute back pain.

Say Goodbye to Osteoarthritis… The All-Natural Way!

Sunday, November 23rd, 2008

By David Levine, Health Writer

When people talk about arthritis, many are referring to the most common form of the disease, called osteoarthritis. It causes pain, swelling, stiffness and, at its worst, can be totally debilitating for millions of Americans.

Osteoarthritis is the degeneration of the cartilage that cushions the area where two bones meet to form a joint. When the cushion wears out or cracks, the bones rub together, causing intense pain. In severe cases, the joints can develop calcifications. This means that calcium builds up on the bones and soft tissues, making them stiff and painful to move.

The solution most mainstream doctors take, as usual, is to relieve the pain with drugs rather than fix the problem causing the pain. And research from around the world has proven that there are ways to reverse calcification and to restore damaged cartilage. This is the one true way to get rid of the pain of osteoarthritis once and for all.
