Reflexology, Massage Therapy, Acupuncture and foot rub techniques

Reflexologist believe that the body is represented on the feet through a system of reflexes mapped out on specific areas around the feet. Reflexology is the practice of stimulating these points and areas to affect changes to the linked organs of the body for better health. Reflexology is believed to have originated in China 2,000 years ago, although there are some that it's origin is in Egypt or India. However, charts and studies on reflexology are only found in Chinese materials.

This 8.5" X 11" double sided laminated chart shows the reflex zones on the soles and sides of the feet. Detailed representation of the spine and tissues, organs and glands affected by each spinal nerve. Meridian points used in the treatment of gait mechanism in Applied Kinesiology. 34 acupuncture points found on the feet along with indications present for each point. Foot conditions affecting the meridians and how they affect the meridians.

BACK PAIN

The patient with this problem comes in with severely acute pain in the mid-back area and very often the pain is so severe that it radiates out to the front, to the sternum, to the breast bone area. It can pierce through like a knife going through from the back to the front and it can be extremely distressing and alarming. The pain is so severe that the patient feels like something is horribly wrong and indeed, this patient is in so much pain that this is not a good situation. Thankfully there are ordinarily solutions for this problem and when we are able to determine that the cause is anterior or Thoracic vertebrae, we are able to offer great hope for relief. This is a condition where there has been a “buckling” of the mid-back, or the mid-thoracic spine, where the vertebra and ribs have buckled forward, the vertebra especially. The ribs are often “left behind” and “separate” from their usual abutment or smooth connection to the vertebrae.

This condition commonly affects people who work with arms overhead, such as a hairstylist, mechanics, certain housekeeping chores may bring this on, typists, therapists, construction workers. I have probably seen it most often and most severe amongst weight lifters who are doing bench pressing. When they are pressing heavy weight with their arms and shoulders, the spine buckles behind them, buckling the mid-back area forward. This buckling the spine causes the vertebrae to displace and when they do, they lose their juxtaposition, or natural positional relationship with the ribs that should be smoothly attached to the sides of the vertebra. These ribs that are attached to the vertebra are highly innervated because the rib cage protects our vital organs. By the primitive wisdom of the body, we have “alarm systems” that go off when something affects that area and so these rib heads, where they attach to the vertebra in the mid back, are very sensitive, and when they are displaced or pushed out of place, they will give off a tremendous amount of pain. The good note about this is that although the pain is quite debilitating and alarming, when properly treated, there is usually predictable relief by an effective chiropractic approach releasing that vertebra in just the right direction. This can be done in a pain-free manner greatly relieving the condition when performed by a chiropractor skilled in the appropriate method.

I would like to talk a little bit about some of the complications on these cases. Often mechanical issues will bring them on. Of course, it can come about suddenly from the impact of a rear-end car accident or some other trauma like that. It could be brought on by an assault, or a wrestling match, or when somebody has buckled back in surfing or in ways where somebody is thrown backwards and buckles their spine back, and may cause this problem to erupt. Sometimes these are known as “hyperextension injuries” to the thoracic spine.

There is a whole other area of concern sometimes in these cases. Actually the condition can be brought on and/or perpetuated by problems involving digestion, involving tension in and about the diaphragm, involving stress handling issues that settle in at the upper digestive region of the body and the diaphragm that anchors into and is innervated from the mid thoracic spine. In fact, it is considered quite classic for stomach problems, ulcers and other types of stomach distresses to be the direct cause of such flooding of nerve impulses into the mid-back area at specific vertebrae. Such as to “suck them forward” and pull them anterior or forward out of place, and this has to do with the abnormal nerve activity from the irritated stomach or upper digestive organs blasting through to the spine to relay up to the brain to tell the brain what is going on. In patients who have this type of tension or digestive distress, cramping of the diaphragm, tightening of the diaphragm, stress related or related digestive distress, reflux disorder that is uncontrolled – all of this can flood nerve impulses into that mid-back area. If these digestive conditions are not worked with and controlled, then the mid-thoracic area, which may well be greatly relieved by getting treatment, will constantly be recurring. So the need to do something effective about the causation of the problem cannot be underscored enough.

Link Between Herpes Simplex Virus and Alzheimer’s Disease

Potential Role of Coriolus Vesicular supplementation. Herpes exists in two common forms. The majority of the population acquires Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV-1) during childhood from non sexual contact. Herpes Simplex Virus 2 (HSV-2) also known as genital herpes, is transmitted by sexual contact.

In 2000 , researchers led by Dr.Frank M Lafera at the Department of Neurology and Behavior at the University of California, Irvine, demonstrated that a synthetic protein that resembles the herpes simplex virus(HSV-1) mimics the structure and function of a protein call B-amyloid , a toxic agent that accumulates in the brains of Alzheimer patients.

Genetic sequencing revealed that two thirds a portion of the viral protein is identical to the beta-amyloid. The researcher showed that like B-amyloid, it could kill brain neurons, a key feature in Alzheimer’s. Moreover, in laboratory experiments, the viral protein formed abnormal twisted fibers like those found in brains of Alzheimer’s patients the definitive hallmark of diseases.

According to Dr.Laferla most people are exposed to HSV-1 , but do not develop Alzheimer’s ,however, recent studies show that people genetically disposed to Alzheimer’s, are more likely to develop the disease if they are exposed to herpes.

In December 2008,Professor Ruth Itzhaki and her team at Manchester University ‘ s faculty of life sciences published in the journal of pathology that the HSV-1 DNA is located very specifically in amyloid plaques :90% of plaques in Alzheimer’s disease suffers brains contain HSV-1 DNA and most of the viral DNA is located with in amyloid plaques.

The team had previously shown that HSV-1 infection of nerve –type cells induces deposition of the main component, B-amyloid, of amyloid plaques.

Together these findings strongly implicate HSV-1 as a major factor in the information of amyloid deposits and plaques, abnormalities through by many in the fields to be major contributors of Alzheimer’s. This finding is a reconfirmation of Dr.Laferrla;s previous work In 2000.

The University of Manchester’s data strongly suggest that HSV-1 has a major role in Alzheimer’s disease and point to in preliminary experiments they have shown that acyclovir reduces the amyloid depositions and also reduces certain other features of the disease which they have found are caused by HSV-1 infection. Further research is going on potential use of acyclovir as therapeutic agent for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease.

For those patients who are not able to tolerate the side effects of acyclovir treatment, the evidence that Coriolus vesicular supplementation reduces viral loads in both chronic Fatigue Syndrome patients and in HPV (LSIL) patients may have applications in neurodegenerative diseases in which viral infection plays a role.
