			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-size: x-small">If you&#8217;ve ever suffered from intense pain in the neck, shoulder or upper back<br />
you know that it can make getting through the day extremely difficult because<br />
there are so many things we do that require our arms and head.</span></p>
<p>I know exactly what it&#8217;s like as I&#8217;ve had my fair share of injuries, including<br />
shoulder problems brought on by weight lifting as well as a month long stiff<br />
neck caused by a nasty mountain bike accident.</p>
<p>So I know a thing or two about how to deal with and eliminate these aches<br />
and pains. Plus, over the past 5 years, here at the Healthy Back Institute<br />
we&#8217;ve helped thousands of people overcome neck, shoulder and upper<br />
back pain.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s what we&#8217;ve found to work the best:</p>
<p><strong>1. If brought on by an accident, as quickly as possible take Arnica. </strong></p>
<p>Arnica is a homeopathic remedy that works very well when taken right after<br />
injury and they even make small viles of pellets you can keep on you. I now<br />
keep some in my car and also in my mountain biking pack.</p>
<p><strong>2. Reduce the inflammation as quickly as possible.</strong></p>
<p>There are many things you can do to reduce the inflammation. You can use<br />
ice for the first 24-48 hours. Elevate the limb or injured part of the body.</p>
<p>You can also use a <a target="_blank" href="http://www.losethebackpain.com/inflammation5.html">natural anti-inflammatory like Lifezyme Plus</a>. <span style="font-size: x-small"><br />
Provided there&#8217;s no open wound you can also use a topical <a target="_blank" href="http://www.losethebackpain.com/rubonrelief.html">pain relieving cream<br />
like Rub on Relief.</a></span></p>
<p><strong>3. Eliminate muscle spasms and relieve tight, stiff muscles</strong></p>
<p>Muscles in spasms can wreak havoc on your body and what many people<br />
don&#8217;t realize is your muscles can be a in a state of &#8220;semi&#8221; spasms.. meaning<br />
the spasm isn&#8217;t intense enough for you to notice but while mild it can still pull<br />
your body out alignment and cause other problems.</p>
<p>One way to address this is <a target="_blank" href="http://www.losethebackpain.com/triggerpiontselftreatment.html">trigger point therapy</a> which can be administered<br />
by a trained therapist and much of it you can even do yourself.</p>
<p><strong>4. Ensure your mindset is programmed for recovery</strong></p>
<p>Believe it or not, your mind&#8230; how you think, what you feel, etc all plays a<br />
MAJOR role in your ability to heal and recover. And if you don&#8217;t believe it,<br />
I challenge you to do some research and see what you discover. Start by<br />
reading this<a href="http://www.losethebackpain.com/hypnosis.html"> </a><a href="http://www.losethebackpain.com/hypnosis.html">special report on the subject</a><a href="http://www.losethebackpain.com/hypnosis.html">.</a></p>
<p>But in the meantime, just remember that you must tell yourself that you<br />
WILL overcome this and you must believe it.</p>
<p><strong>5. Identify and address your muscle imbalances</strong></p>
<p>Whether your pain was caused by an accident or not, you have imbalances&#8230;<br />
we all do and the worse they are the more likely they are to create conditions<br />
and cause pain.</p>
<p>If you haven&#8217;t already identified your imbalances using our best-selling<br />
<a target="_blank" href="http://www.losethebackpain.com/getstarted.html?utm_nooverride=1&#038;ref=5-7-08-neckpain"> Lose The Back Pain system</a> you really need to. You can&#8217; expect to get lasting<br />
relief if you don&#8217;t uncover and address the underlying cause.</p>
<p>And before you try to say &#8220;my condition was caused by ______&#8221; let me remind<br />
you that regardless of what you may have been diagnosed with and what you<br />
have been told, or what you believe caused it, I can promise you that muscle<br />
imbalances ARE a factor&#8230;</p>
<p>In fact, I&#8217;m willing to bet that they are a BIGGER factor than you may think and<br />
that once you start to address them you WILL start to see improvements&#8230;</p>
<p>And often times people see improvements in so many other areas in addition<br />
to the &#8220;condition or pain&#8221; that got them started in the first place.</p>
<p>Well, I wish you the best and hope that you will take action and continue to<br />
learn and experiment.</p>
<p>If you ever have questions please post them in our <a href="http://www.losethebackpain.com/back_pain_discussion_forum.html">discussion forum</a>.</p>
<p>Talk to you again soon&#8230;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva; font-size: x-small">It&#8217;s a question I get dozens, if not hundreds of times each and every day:</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve tried everything but am still in extreme pain, what can I do?</p>
<p>Well, I&#8217;ve got good and bad news for you&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>First, let&#8217;s start with the GOOD news.</strong> </span></p>
<p align="left" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva; font-size: x-small">The good news is I&#8217;ve not met or talked to a person yet who has tried every treatment known to man&#8230; so while you may have tried lots of different things, I&#8217;m willing to bet there are treatments (and treatment combinations) that you have NOT yet tried.</p>
<p>But even more important is the fact that the more things you&#8217;ve tried the closer you likely are to finding the one thing (or more likely, combination of things) that will work for you and finally give you your life back. </span></p>
<p align="left" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva; font-size: x-small">People view failure as a bad thing when instead you need to look at it as an experiment&#8230; and know that the faster you try things the sooner you achieve success.</p>
<p><strong>But now for the BAD news&#8230;</strong></p>
<p>The bad news (or more appropriately, sad news) is, most people don&#8217;t view themselves as powerful and successful beings and they give up. So let me ask you this extremely important question&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>Are you going to win the war against your pain or is it going to beat the life out of you?</strong></p>
<p>Seems like a silly question I know&#8230; but far too many people lose this battle and end up living the rest of their life miserable and in pain&#8230;</p>
<p>And what really drives me nuts is it does NOT have to be like this!  There are so many things you can do that WILL improve things for you yet every day I get emails from people who have already given up. I can usually tell after reading just the first sentence or two.</p>
<p>Well, I want to share a story with you that I know you will find truly inspiring&#8230; read this:</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;- Forwarded message &#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-<br />
From: Vira B <virab@email.comt><br />
Date: Apr 20, 2008 12:08 AM<br />
Subject: Re: did you get my email?<br />
To: Jesse <<a target="_blank" href="mailto:jesse@losethebackpain.com">jesse@losethebackpain.com</a>></p>
<p>Dear Jesse:</p>
<p>There appears to be some confusion at your end. I bought the program and admit that it was the best $110.00 bucks I had spent in my life.  My pain was so incredible that I found myself <strong>lying on the floor curled up in a ball wishing I could die</strong> and get it over with.</p>
<p>Years of physio. (all wrong) chiro, massage, cranio, and the list goes on with thousands of dollors flying out of my pocket, with  no end in sight I really had given up on life.   Yes, yes, I even had surgery.  But God just didn&#8217;t want me yet as I was directed to your website.</p>
<p><strong>I bought your program, tried it and in just one day, (yes, one day)  my pain stopped. </strong>  I told my physiotherapists, they should learn something and buy your program.</p>
<p>I told my Doctor about it and suggested that she send her patients to your websight.  She agreed to check it out for herself.  I tell everyone about you two and what a common sense program you have that works.</p>
<p>I have to thank for your business smarts and for taking the time and energy to put your fabulous program together.  It&#8217;s because of you that I have a chance at life again.  Many many thanks.</p>
<p>Best regards</p>
<p>Vira  B<br />
Calgary, AB<br />
&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;</p>
<p>Thanks so much Vira for sharing your story. And it&#8217;s YOU who won this battle, not me&#8230; all I did was supply you with information that you needed but didn&#8217;t have and I&#8217;m happy just to be a small part of your success.</p>
<p>While not everyone gets such incredible and immediate results, I&#8217;m glad you did. And I want to point out that the main reason you are feeling better now is because you never gave up&#8230; </span></p>
<p align="left" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva; font-size: x-small">You kept searching and trying things until you found the solution and that&#8217;s THE key to success in all aspects of life whether it&#8217;s overcoming chronic pain, losing weight or having a successful relationship.</p>
<p>Another thing I want to say is, while I&#8217;m glad you told your therapists don&#8217;t be surprised if they poo-poo the system and try to dismiss your success as a &#8220;coincidence&#8221;&#8230; it happens all the time and it&#8217;s because most people, especially doctors and the like, tend to think they know it all&#8230; and accepting the results that you and tens of thousands of others have using our system would mean they&#8217;d have to admit that they don&#8217;t know it all.</p>
<p>It doesn&#8217;t matter how dramatic the results were&#8230; it doesn&#8217;t matter that you had surgery and tried physical therapy, massage, chiropractic and all the other treatments but none of it worked. Some people just can&#8217;t seem to admit that they don&#8217;t know it all.</p>
<p>I learned a long time ago that I don&#8217;t know it all&#8230; far, far from it. In fact, every day I am amazed by how much I&#8217;m learning all the time. I hope that you to keep an open mind and are always attentive and learning. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva; font-size: x-small">I urge you to devour all of the information on our website&#8230; there&#8217;s literally hundreds of pages of information on <a target="_blank" href="http://www.losethebackpain.com/conditions/">conditions</a>, <a target="_blank" href="http://www.losethebackpain.com/treatments/">treatments</a>, <a target="_blank" href="http://www.losethebackpain.com/backpainreliefproducts.html">products</a> and more.</p>
<p>Also, over the years one of the things we&#8217;ve discovered here at the Healthy Back Institute is that the mind plays a very BIG role in back pain and all sorts of diseases and conditions. I&#8217;ll be sending you some articles and information on this in the future as it is THE missing link for a lot of people.</p>
<p>Well, that&#8217;s all for today. Talk to you again soon&#8230;</p>
<p>Jesse<br />
</span><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva; font-size: x-small" /></p>
<p><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva; font-size: x-small">P.S. Have you listened to the &#8220;Back Pain Treatments Reviewed&#8221; teleseminar recording yet? If not, you can<font><font><font><font><font> <a target="_blank" href="http://losethebackpain.com/media/backpain-reviewed.html">listen to it now here</a> </font></font></font>. On it we review many treatments in detail and talk about the pros, cons and why certain treatments will work for one person but not the next&#8230; even when they may have the same condition.</font></font></span></p>

So many people are talking about how slow their metabolism is and why they need to start taking the latest diet supplement yet they don&#8217;t even understand how the human metabolism, their own body works.

<p align="left" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva; font-size: small">So many people are talking about how slow their metabolism is and why they need to start taking the latest diet supplement yet they don&#8217;t even understand how the human metabolism, their own body works. </span></p>
<p align="left" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva; font-size: small">So before I even         go into how to speed yours up, I want to first go over some of the         basics.</span></p>
<h2 style="text-align: center"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva; font-size: small">What is metabolism?</span></h2>
<p align="left" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva; font-size: small">There are many scientific ways for me to put to you and I could make it seem really confusing like most of the so-called experts do, but I won&#8217;t. I&#8217;m going to give you my extremely simple and easy to understand definition&#8230; metabolism is the rate at which your body burns calories to sustain life.</p>
<p>I should also note         that <strong>your body, yes yours, burns calories 24 hours a day, everyday</strong> -         regardless of whether or not you workout or not. </span></p>
<p align="left" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva; font-size: small">Remember that, your body needs energy all the time, even while you&#8217;re a sleep and that is why skipping meals is the absolute worst thing you can do if your goal is to lose weight (body fat).</p>
<p>Before we go any         further let&#8217;s talk about what affects metabolism&#8230;</span></p>
<h2 style="text-align: center"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva; font-size: small">What affects metabolism?</span></h2>
<p align="left" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva; font-size: small">What do you think         has the biggest impact on your metabolism? Activity levels? Your         Thyroid? Age?</p>
<p>WRONG! WRONG! and         WRONG! </span></p>
<p align="left" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva; font-size: small">Activity levels, Thyroid function, and age do affect metabolism         but not nearly as much as&#8230;any idea? </span></p>
<p align="left" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva; font-size: small">It&#8217;s muscle tissue! The more muscle you have the more calories you burn regardless of how active you are, how old you are, etc. It&#8217;s live tissue and it&#8217;s there working for you and burning calories 24 hours a day – each and every day!</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s a list of         some of the factors affecting metabolism:<br />

<li style="list-style-type: disc; list-style-position: outside"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva; font-size: small">food choices (ex. low-fat diets tend to result in poor hormone production which leads to a slower metabolism)
<p></span></li>

</ul>
</div>
<h2 style="text-align: center"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva; font-size: small">Why does it slow down?</span></h2>
<p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva; font-size: small">How many times have         you heard someone say, &#8220;as soon as you hit 30 your metabolism slows         down&#8221;? </span></p>
<p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva; font-size: small">Maybe you&#8217;ve said it. I know I hear it all the time and I got tired of hearing it so I did a little research and found that the metabolism does NOT slow down significantly due to aging but DOES due to a lack of muscle. And, you don&#8217;t lose muscle quickly due to aging either but due to a decrease or lack of physical stress.<br />
<strong><br />
So, the major         cause of a slowing metabolism is three fold&#8230;</strong></p>
<p>1. you lose muscle         due to the lack of physical stress</p>
<p>2. your body cannibalizes muscle when it needs energy but you won&#8217;t supply any because you are &#8220;dieting&#8221; and skipping meals</p>
<p>3. your activity levels tend to decrease as you get older.</span></p>
<p align="left" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva; font-size: small">So now we know the         problem&#8230; what&#8217;s the solution? </span></p>
<p align="left" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva; font-size: small">Address those 3 issues! I&#8217;ve found with years of experience in helping hundreds of people, that increasing your metabolism and getting rid of that excess body fat can often times be quite easy! </span></p>
<p align="left" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva; font-size: small">Yet you&#8217;ll hear of all these experts telling you how hard it is and why you need to buy their new diet program, supplement, or fitness contraption.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s not that hard, it doesn&#8217;t have to be confusing, and you don&#8217;t need any of that crap! All you need is an understanding of how your body works and the willingness to make some small changes.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s my basic         formula for jump starting your metabolism:</p>
<p><strong><strong>Step         1</strong> - Stop the storage of new fat </strong></p>
<p>It doesn&#8217;t make any sense to start an exercise program if you just end up adding new fat later that day. This is a problem that is very common among people who start an exercise in an attempt to lose weight.</p>
<p>See the problem is this&#8230;We don&#8217;t get fat due to a lack of exercise – we get fat because we supply the body with more calories than it needs at a given time. </span></p>
<p align="left" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva; font-size: small">So the solution has nothing to do with exercise – it&#8217;s all about your eating! And I&#8217;m not saying you have to eat low-fat, super clean and healthy diet consisting of salad and tofu only. You can still eat the foods you like IF you can give the body just the amount it needs.</p>
<p>The key is to give the body the energy it needs, but just that amount not a bunch extra because extra is extra is extra, it doesn&#8217;t matter what it&#8217;s from. Salad can be stored as fat, celery can be stored as fat – if it results in extra it can be stored as fat. I should also note that not all extra energy is stored in the fat cells and I will touch on that later.</p>
<p>So forget about         trying to burn off any fat unless you can first stop storing new fat!         Again, you do that by <span style="text-decoration: underline">matching your eating to your activity level</span>. This means small, balanced meals or snacks every 2-3 hours and the amount of calories in each feeding should depend on how active you are at that time of day.</span></p>
<p align="left" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva; font-size: small"><strong><strong>Step         2</strong> – Attack the existing fat</strong></p>
<p>This requires a combination approach consisting of stable blood sugar/energy levels, and progressive cardiovascular/aerobic exercise and strength training.</p>
<p>We already talked about how important stable blood sugar and energy levels are and how to match you eating to your activity level so now I&#8217;d like to cover the exercise part of the equation.</p>
<p>In order for the exercise to even be worth your time you must be sure it&#8217;s progressive. Just because you run on the treadmill for 30 minutes three times a week, that doesn&#8217;t mean your body has to burn off that unwanted body fat! </span></p>
<p align="left" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva; font-size: small">You have to force the body makes changes and improvements and the ONLY way to do that is to consistently provide a stimulus or stress that is greater than what the body is used to.</p>
<p>Here are some         general guidelines on how you can make your exercise progressive and         productive:</span></p>
<p align="left" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva; font-size: small">Strength training</span></p>
<div>
<ul style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; list-style-type: disc; list-style-position: outside; padding-left: 15px">
<li style="list-style-type: disc; list-style-position: outside"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva; font-size: small">Change exercises frequently (every 2-4 weeks)</span></li>
<li style="list-style-type: disc; list-style-position: outside"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva; font-size: small">Increase resistance</span></li>
<li style="list-style-type: disc; list-style-position: outside"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva; font-size: small">Perform more reps</span></li>
<li style="list-style-type: disc; list-style-position: outside"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva; font-size: small">Slower reps</span></li>
<li style="list-style-type: disc; list-style-position: outside"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva; font-size: small">Advanced techniques</span></li>
</ul>
</div>
<p align="left" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva; font-size: small">Cardiovascular training</span></p>
<div>
<ul style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; list-style-type: disc; list-style-position: outside; padding-left: 15px">
<li style="list-style-type: disc; list-style-position: outside"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva; font-size: small">Increase speed/resistance</span></li>
<li style="list-style-type: disc; list-style-position: outside"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva; font-size: small">Perform intervals</span></li>
<li style="list-style-type: disc; list-style-position: outside"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva; font-size: small">Increase distance traveled</span></li>
<li style="list-style-type: disc; list-style-position: outside"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva; font-size: small">Cross train by performing numerous activities</span></li>
</ul>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva; font-size: small">I should also say that it is extremely important that you have a well thought out and detailed plan to follow. You can&#8217;t just say &#8220;ok, now I know what to do&#8221; and then try a little of this here and little of that there. You need a roadmap. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left"></div>
<div style="text-align: left"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva; font-size: small">If you are serious about achieving your weight loss and fitness goals I highly recommend you get the help of a professional. Whether that means one on one personal fitness training or just a do-it-your-self fitness plan – your chances of success are much greater.</p>
<p>In closing, please remember, it doesn&#8217;t have to be confusing. Hopefully this information has shown you how easy it can be if you know what you are doing.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left"></div>
<div style="text-align: left"></div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="MsoNormal">If you have had a back surgery either on your neck or lower back and have failed to get relief there could be an underlying issue that most treatments fail to even mention.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal">Any and every surgery will develop some amount of scar tissue all be it that new techniques are getting better at minimizing the amount, its still an issue that you are most likely dealing with right now and most likely nothing you have tried has helped…</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal">Here it is short and sweet, Scar tissue and Fibrous Adhesions are a dirty little secret and a contributing factor of post surgical pain. And if left untreated could take years to diminish.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal">Scar tissue needs to be what is called released or Myofascially manipulated and there are many different techniques that work great for this and most good and well trained massage therapist can do and excellent job of it but there is one more component to getting relief and that is the absorption of the excessive scar tissue from a cellular level.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal">As we get older, the more stress we are under and the less fruits and vegetables we eat the less enzymes our bodies will get and produce on a daily basis allowing for the over development of excess scar tissue.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal">And that is why it is critical that anyone who has had any type of surgery should eat 5 to 7 servings or fruits and vegetables a day and supplement with enzymes.</p>

<p>That&#8217;s why I&#8217;d like to send you a bottle to try so you can be the judge. If it works for you like it has for thousands of others, great&#8230; and if not, at least you tried it.</p>

<p>I was trying to locate a spot on your web to tell you how wonderful your product is and how it has changed my life.Here&#8217;s my story:</p>
<p>In 1991 I was diagnosised with a Chordoma tumor in L3. I had several experimental surgeries to excise the tumor. I was left with a bone strut that collasped into my spinal canal and left me with spinal stenosis and a weak right leg and drop foot.</p>
<p>Because of all this trauma to my back, spine, and left leg, I now have bulging disk L4 and L5. As a result of this, I developed scaitica. I was in pain for 1 and 1/2 years.</p>
<p>I tried everything; chiropractor, epidural injections, physical therapy, pain medicines, massages, ect. I was desperate and thats when I found your website. <strong>I decided to try your product Lifezyme Plus and after 3 weeks that pain was gone.</strong> I continue to take LP and my life is so much sweeter.</p>
<p>Since the scaitic pain has left my life I am a different person. Thank you for your product. I never thought in my wildest dreams that I would ever feel good again but I do!</p>

<p>Hi Jesse<br />
I <strong>started taking the Lifezyme a week ago and have seen a slow but steady improvement</strong> in pain and movement. The mornings are the worst for me, even though I have a tempurpedic bed. But the recovery in the mornings is coming quicker each day, to where I can bend over wth little discomfort fairly early in the day, whereas before, the stiffness and pain would last throughout the day with little improvement. I have prayed to God for help, and I believe He directed me to you guys. God bless you, and I will check in periodically.<br />

<p>By the way, I forgot to mention&#8230; Lifezyme Plus helps with dozens of other conditions like:</p>
<p>- Fibromyalgia<br />
- Arthritis<br />
- Carpal Tunnel<br />
- High blood pressure<br />
- Knee pain<br />
- Bursitis<br />
- Tendonitis<br />
- And a bunch more</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s another story we received from a customer:</p>
<p>No More PMS Pain</p>
<p>&#8220;I was stuck in a 3 day meeting out of town and started my period unexpectedly.  There I was miles from home with no easy way to get my usual pain relief medicine.  I quietly asked around and a friend gave me some of her Lifezyme Plus.  &#8220;Something is better than nothing I thought&#8221; But boy was I wrong… This something was FANTASTIC.</p>
<p>Usually it hurts so much I find myself totally distracted or I&#8217;m at least very uncomfortable the whole 5 days even with traditional over the counter pain relief supposedly designed for that unpleasant week every month.  But with this I felt great… no pain and I can&#8217;t believe how fast it worked!  I now have two bottles on stand by…one for the office and one for the house.&#8221;</p>

</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small">And you can tons of other stories from people of all ages who had suffered from all sorts of aches, pains and conditions but now feel better than ever because of Lifezyme Plus.</p>

<span style="font-size: x-small" /></div>
<div align="center"><span style="font-size: x-small">by Darlene Nicholson, CFT</span></div>
<div align="center"><img width="88" height="96" id="image60" alt="PME1-300px.jpg" src="http://www.losethebackpain.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/PME1-300px.thumbnail.jpg" /></div>
<p><span style="font-size: x-small" /></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Arial,Sans-Serif; font-size: small">1. <strong>Pilates is intended for women.</strong> <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline">WRONG!</span></strong></span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Arial,Sans-Serif; font-size: small">Though it is quite popular amongst women, many males also practice Pilates. Even professional athletes have used Pilates to achieve results that other types of exercise have failed to deliver. </span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Arial,Sans-Serif; font-size: small">In fact, Pilates was developed by man named Joseph Pilates who was an athlete and a boxer. Baseball pitcher Curt Shilling, Golfer - Tiger Woods, and Basketball Player Jason Kidd all incorporate Pilates into their workouts.</span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Arial,Sans-Serif; font-size: small">2. <strong>Pilates is for people that are already in shape!</strong> <span style="text-decoration: underline"><strong>WRONG!</strong></span></span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Arial,Sans-Serif; font-size: small">In fact people that are overweight or out of shape should definitely start with Pilates. They will be able to strengthen their core muscle groups and stretch muscles to prevent injury when they do begin a strength training and cardiovascular workout.</span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Arial,Sans-Serif; font-size: small">3. <strong>Pilates has to be performed with equipment</strong>. <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline">WRONG AGAIN!</span></strong> </span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Arial,Sans-Serif; font-size: small">Some Pilates methods do involve pieces of equipment, however you can also do authentic Pilates workouts from the comfort of your home with only a simple floor mat. The advantage of starting with mat Pilates is that you can focus on improving your Pilates technique without having to worry about the complexity of equipment&#8230; plus it can be done anywhere!<br />
</span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Arial,Sans-Serif; font-size: small">4. <strong>Pilates is just like Yoga.</strong> <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline">Myth!</span> </strong></span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Arial,Sans-Serif; font-size: small">Pilates does involve learning to breathe properly and using controlled movements to improve the body. Yoga dwells deeper on harmonizing the mind, body and spirit where as Pilates is a better choice for those whom are looking for a longer, leaner, dancer-like body.</span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Arial,Sans-Serif; font-size: small">5. <strong>Pilates is not challenging.</strong> <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline">WRONG!</span></strong> </span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Arial,Sans-Serif; font-size: small">Like anything, the effort you put in will reflect the results you achieve. You can do the exercises at a beginner level if you need to or you can do advanced variations and exercises that will kick your butt!</span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Arial,Sans-Serif; font-size: small">There plenty of other myths and misconceptions about Pilates out there. You have likely heard one or more of them already, we suggest you try it for your self and come to your own conclusions.</span></p>
<p align="left">
<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Arial,Sans-Serif; font-size: small"><strong /></span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Arial,Sans-Serif; font-size: small"><strong>Ok, now time for my &#8220;uncensored&#8221; opinion of pilates&#8230;</strong> </span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Arial,Sans-Serif; font-size: small">First of all, let me start by saying any exercise is better than none. </span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Arial,Sans-Serif; font-size: small">Second, one of the things I really like about pilates is that it builds strength and improves flexibility at the same time and most importantly, it does it without the damage and wear and tear that traditional weight lifting causes. </span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Arial,Sans-Serif; font-size: small">Another thing I like about pilates is that you can do it anywhere so you have no excuses whereas if you rely on dozens of machines to workout, it&#8217;s easy to have things &#8220;come up&#8221; and get in the way. </span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Arial,Sans-Serif; font-size: small">Is pilates the only exercise you need to do, maybe, but maybe not&#8230; it all depends on what your goals are. But I can say that everyone can benefit from adding some pilates into their fitness program, even if it&#8217;s only done once in a while.<br />
</span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Arial,Sans-Serif; font-size: small">If you&#8217;ve never tried pilates, I really recommend you give it a shot. For years I resisted it because I thought it was going to be &#8220;too easy&#8221; and &#8220;boring&#8221;&#8230; boy was I wrong. </span><strong><span style="font-size: small"><a target="_blank" href="http://www.losethebackpain.com/freepilatesdvd.html">Grab a FREE copy of our Pilates Made Easy video on DVD</a></span></strong><span style="font-family: Arial,Sans-Serif; font-size: small"> and see for yourself. </span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Arial,Sans-Serif; font-size: small">Just pay a small shipping and handling fee and we&#8217;ll have a copy shipped out to you right away. But I can&#8217;t say how long this will be available as at last check we had just 378 copies left. </span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Arial,Sans-Serif; font-size: small">Well, that&#8217;s all for today. Once you get the video and have a chance to try it out be sure to send me your feedback. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial,Sans-Serif; font-size: small">Best wishes,<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One of the questions I get all the time from back pain sufferers is<br />
&#8220;What can I do at work to better manage my pain?&#8221;.</p>
<p>So I&#8217;ve created a short video to share some proven &#8220;tricks&#8221; that you<br />
can use to reduce and better manage pain while at work.</p>
<p><strong><a target="_blank" href="http://www.losethebackpain.com/backpainvideos/backpainatwork.html">You can watch it now here</a></strong></p>
<p>Also, it&#8217;s important to note that many of these tricks will work for<br />
you anywhere, not just at work. So if you don&#8217;t work, you still should<br />
find this video helpful.</p>
<p>You can find even more info on &#8220;how to beat back pain at work&#8221; in<br />
an <a target="_blank" href="http://www.losethebackpain.com/backpainandoffice.html">article we recently added to the website here.</a></p>
<p>When I first sent out the above article we received a TON of great<br />
feedback so if you haven&#8217;t read it yet, I&#8217;m sure you&#8217;ll find it and the<br />
video to be a great combination.</p>
<p>And here&#8217;s a comment from one of our customers that I just had to<br />
share with you&#8230;</p>
<p>&#8220;Stronger Than a Double Dose of Celebreks&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;ve been taking a double dose of celebreks for 10 years now and that<br />
only gave me partial relief. Finally, my fear of liver damage pushed me<br />
to try your Lifezyme Plus product. It worked better and I was able to stop<br />
taking the celebreks completely. Thank you so much!&#8221;</p>
<p>Kaye Whitlock, Dallas, TX</p>
<p>If you&#8217;d like a safe way to reduce inflammation and pain quickly, I urge<br />
you to <a target="_blank" href="http://www.losethebackpain.com/inflammation5.html">give Lifezyme Plus a shot</a>. I&#8217;m sure you too will be surprised by<br />
the results.</p>
<p>And I almost forgot&#8230;</p>
<p>Please let me know what you think about this video by posting your<br />
comments on the <a target="_blank" href="http://www.losethebackpain.com/back_pain_discussion_forum.html">discussion forum.<br />
</a><br />
Talk to you again soon,<br />
Jesse</p>
<p>P.S. Who do you know who could benefit from all of the resources<br />
we have available on our website? Please forward this email to<br />
anyone you feel might benefit.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A few days ago I sent an email out about inversion therapy and we have been<br />
getting tons of questions so I thought I&#8217;d answer some of the most common ones&#8230;</p>
<p>QUESTION #1 - Does inversion therapy help if you have neck pain?</p>
<p>Great question&#8230; yes, it can help if you are dealing with neck pain. With inversion,<br />
everything from the ankle all the way up through the neck and head gets stretched<br />
and pressure relieved.</p>
<p>Now, it&#8217;s important to point out that while you do get the benefits for the neck when<br />
using an inversion table, there are other decompression devices out there that work<br />
well but do not address the neck.</p>
<p>QUESTION #2 - I&#8217;ve had a hip replacement, can I do inversion?</p>
<p>That all depends&#8230; if you have had a &#8220;total hip replacement&#8221; it&#8217;s NOT recommended.<br />
Same is true for a total knee replacement. In these situations you would want to use<br />
an alternative like the &#8220;Back Bubble&#8221; (see next question below).</p>
<p>If you have had a partial hip replacement you should check with your doctor but we<br />
have had many doctors say it&#8217;s ok.</p>
<p>QUESTION #3 - Are there other devices other than an inversion table that do<br />
the same thing?</p>
<p>Another great question&#8230; yes, there are many devices out there but only a handful<br />
that really work well. One of the best alternatives we&#8217;ve found to an inversion table<br />
is a product called <a target="_blank" href="http://losethebackpain.com/backbubble.html">&#8220;The Back Bubble&#8221; and you can learn more about it here</a>.</p>
<p>You can also look into traction which would be performed by a qualified doctor<br />
or therapist. And another method that is being pushed by a lot of chiropractors<br />
is the DRX9000. You can <a target="_blank" href="http://www.losethebackpain.com/treatments/spinaldecompression.html">read more about it and other forms of decompression here</a>.</p>
<p>And last, here are some more emails we&#8217;ve received from people who have<br />
used inversion therapy:
