Dear friends & colleagues,

I hope your weekend is an enjoyable one. This past week, I have enjoyed some thought provoking conversations as usual with practitioners from physiotherapy, mental health and natural medicine fields which furthers my knowledge and appreciation of the role of scientific reality and how to implement it to deliver some of the most incredible and rewarding results.

Recently, I worked with a physiotherapist who specializes in menopause symptoms and that made me realize the potential Pulsed electromagnetic field therapy has to solve many of the problems for menopausal women. We studied the PEMF research in-depth and just published a new article, which can be found here.

I look forward to hearing from you if you've tried PEMF in your practice or home!

Thanks!

Hi,
Fruits are rich sources of vitamin C and carotenoids (pro vitamin A) and micronutrients such as, some minerals and vitamins like folic acid. Fresh fruits are rich sources of vitamin C which will help to promote strength in my baby. I will take regular food containing vitamin C, which will help absorption of dietary iron.

It happens the day your youngest childleaves home for good-you and your wife become empty nesters.Psychiatrist Gail Saltz of New York’s Presbyterian medical centerexplains that empty nester symptoms is “sadness; fear in what yourposition in life is now; major adjustments in what you do every day;how you view yourself; and how your marriage functions.” I foundthis here: http://naturesbalance.com/2602/empty-nester-syndrome/

Moving on as an empty nester

When the dust settles behind theyoungest child, occasionally empty nesters will realize they don’tknow the person lying beside them in bed at night. The wife theythought they knew so well had become a stranger. Saltz warns that asan empty nester, you may find “you have allowed your marriage tostagnate, and once the kids are gone, there is nothing left to holdthe marriage together. This is when it becomes very important for youto exert a ton of effort to reestablish romance.” Empty nesters arealso often plagued by depression. If this sounds like you, tryfollowing a few of the recommendations below:

Start a brand new hobby. You know that one you’ve wanted to choose up your whole life but just never had time for.
Make a dream list. There are a ton of things you and your husband will be able to do now that you do not have to stress about what to do with your children.
Reacquaint yourself with your spouse. They are the same person you’ve known and loved for several years, but now you finally get to appreciate them without the interfering buzz of kids.
Call your kids. Sure, they don’t live at home anymore, that doesn’t mean they do not still need their parents.

Despite the despondency many feel whentheir last child leaves home, being a vacant nester is a good thing.It means you did a good job raising your kids. Your chicks canfinally fly.

I do. I'm trying to see which ingredient is causing it. Iget allergic reactions to Old Spice and Mitchum, but Speed Stick 24/7 is fine.I think it's glycol, but I'm not sure.

Does anyone have similar experiences?

Vitamins are substances that your body needs to grow and develop normally. There are 13 vitamins your body needs. They are vitamins A, C, D, E, K and the B vitamins (thiamine, riboflavin, niacin, pantothenic acid, biotin, vitamin B-6, vitamin B-12 and folate). You can usually get all your vitamins from the foods you eat. Your body can also make vitamins D and K. People who eat a vegetarian diet may need to take a vitamin B12 supplement.

Each vitamin has specific jobs. If you have low levels of certain vitamins, you may develop a deficiency disease. For example, if you don’t get enough vitamin D, you could develop rickets. Some vitamins may help prevent medical problems. Vitamin A prevents night blindness.

The best way to get enough vitamins is to eat a balanced diet with a variety of foods and also you can get vitamins as tablets through online pharmacy without prescriptions.

Women's Health : Pelvic Floor - Straining

Wed, 08 Apr 2009 07:58:15 +0000

Subject: Pelvic Floor - Straining

Our user asked: "Hi, I have a question. I have mild pelvic floor dysfunction. I have seen a PT, but have less frequent appointments now. I just realized one thing that is setting it off is when I get constipated. I do take a fiber supplement, but sometimes have constipation anyway. What is the name of the muscle that a person uses to strain? It is the one in the lower abdomen or upper pelvis on both sides. How can I stretch that muscle? It feels tight and fatigued. Thank you!"

Ask a PT Response: "This question is difficult to answer because I'm not sure what you are asking. Puborectalis is the muscle that when tight can lead to constipation. When unable to relax the rectum remains 'kinked' and it is difficult to push stool out, can lead to straining, small caliber stool, constipation. While straining you are using the abdominals and some people valsalva or hold your breath and tighten abdominals. When all is working correctly the pelvic floor should relax as you are bearing down. In cases with pelvic floor muscle dysfunction there is a condition called anismus: the pelvic floor tenses as you bear down, puborectalis keeps the rectum closed off and leads to difficulty with bowel movements.

As far as constipation goes, yes, it definitely adversely effects the pelvic floor. In addition to fiber, many practioners recommend miralax 17mg by mouth daily as needed and senna 1-2 tablets by mouth daily as needed. Both are over the counter. Also make sure to drink extra fluids with these medications.

You may want to consult with your PT to see what stretches he or she would recommend as your PT will know your body and situation the best. I hope this helps."
