Detoxification

We live in a toxic world, and the accumulative effects of the toxins that we are exposed to take a toll on our bodies. Toxins come from fast food, processed food, tap water, preservatives, additive, artificial coloring, perfumes, soaps, cosmetics, coffee, alcohol, pesticides, and pollution. With all of our exposure to these toxins, we are all in need of a detoxification process.

Symptoms of toxic overload include:

• Weight gain


• Fatigue


• Headaches


• Arthritis


• Skin conditions


• Allergies


• Food cravings


• Decreased mental capacity


• Depression


• Difficulty sleeping

There are many methods to detoxify. The most important aspect of any detoxification program is to supplement with quality nutrition that effectively mobilizes toxins and binds them for removal. Proper nutritional supplementation ensures that all detoxification methods are most effective by ridding the body internally (liver, kidneys, spleen, lymphatics, bowels) of toxins and providing quality building blocks to regenerate and maintain good health.

Relief of Muscle Soreness

A personal testimonial...

Two days before Thanksgiving, I played a very intense game of basketball. Having gone anaerobic during the game, I developed what is known as Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS) due to a build up of lactic acid within the muscles. Two days later, still with sore muscles, I played an intense game of flag football in the snow; once again, I entered anaerobic exercise. My muscles were now extremely sore!

I knew since the previous basketball game that I needed some Liga PN from Nutri-West. Liga PN is a natural anti-inflammatory nutritional supplement. I had run out of it at home and kept forgetting to get a new bottle from my office.

Four days after Thanksgiving, I went and played basketball once again. 10 minutes into the game, my muscles were failing to even function! I went home with extremely sore muscles that night and told myself that I would not forget to get Liga PN at my office the following day.

The next day, I came home from my office at lunch and took 2 tablets of Liga PN. Within a couple of hours, my muscle soreness was completely gone! I suffered for a week and lost function of my muscles when all I had to do was follow the supplementation protocol.

Consider using Liga PN for muscle soreness, inflammation, pain, and more!

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

In our day and age of increased computer use, we hear more and more about Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. Chances are, you or someone you know has this condition. The wrist is a complex structure where many nerves, blood vessels, ligaments, and tendons all converge and travel through a "tunnel" of bones. The bones of the wrist literally make an arch through which all of these components pass.

If the tunnel collapses or if there is irritation within the contents of the tunnel, the symptoms of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome arise.

The symptoms of carpal tunnel include:

• Burning, tingling, itching, or numbness of the palm and fingers


• Fingers feel swollen even though no swelling is present


• Decreased grip strength


• Muscle wasting at the base of the thumb


• Inability to distinguish hot and cold by touch

Since the hand is used throughout the day, many seek immediate treatment for this condition. Some elect for surgery or cortisone injections; others elect to take a more conservative route with Chiropractic, Acupuncture, and nutrition. Which treatment route is best? Read these short articles to discover more about treatments and for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.

Hiatal Hernia

Many individuals suffer from Acid Reflux or Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD). The huge trend is to take the "purple pill". Yet, the cause may likely be a hiatal hernia - a protrusion of the stomach into the diaphragm.

A hiatal hernia may cause severe pain or may not even be noticed. Yet, subtle signs of indigestion, reflux, or difficulty breathing may be present. Utilizing Applied Kinesiology, a hiatal hernia can quickly and painlessly be analyzed and corrected. The gentle correction will demonstrate remarkable changes in your health.

Organic Rebellion

Over the past century, the manner in which we grow and manufacture our food has changed dramatically. Farming has definitely made some remarkable improvements, but it may be time to start back at the basics. Our foods are now filled with sodium, trans fats, preservatives, and flavor enhancers! All of this provides a long shelf life and addictive flavors. Yet, all of this has been done for the benefit of food manufacturers and their profits. Your health is at risk!
