We all know the feeling of soreness, which follows the beginning of any get-fit program, or even any unaccustomed muscular exercise. Much of this soreness is actual damage, at a micro level, to blood vessels and other tissues and this abates as one becomes fitter and the body more accustomed to the work involved. Overstrain is normally a warm-up problem. Our body's ability to cope with any level of physical activity or load without failing, is much more due to the muscles, ligame...
The spinal cord is the main pathway of communication between the brain and the rest of the body. It is a tube like structure of nerves that are protected by the bones of the vertebrae. Nerves enter and exit along it entire length through small openings in the vertebrae. The spinal cord is highly organized with like minded nerves running together, motor nerves run down the front of the cord while the sensory nerves run down the back . Spinal Stenosis is...
Overuse or repeated pressure on the elbow joint can cause small tears to form in the soft tissue, particularly where the tendon anchors to bone. These tears can cause pain and reduced movement of the elbow joint. Depending on the severity of the injury, full recovery can take up to six months. The most common type of elbow pain is known as ‘tennis elbow' (outside of the elbow). ‘Golfer's elbow' (inside of the elbow) is a less common but similar overuse injury. Despite their names...
I formulated this lineament oil especially to assist in gaining increased flexibility of our ligaments and the range of movement of our joints. Yoga enthusiasts, gymnasts, dancers , sports people and even those who are trying to maintain some movement and flexibility into mid and older age can see improvement in their flexibility in just over 2 weeks of using the oil daily and doing stretching and flexing exercises. When you work hard to achieve a flexible, strong and pain fr...
An ankle sprain is an injury to the ligaments (the tough elastic tissue that links the bones to one another. Sprains normally occur when the ankle rolls outwards causing the sole to invert. The conditions that increase the risk of sprain include loose ligaments, nerve damage, high heels and certain walking patterns. The severity of the sprain depends on the degree of stretching or tearing of the ligament. Grade 1. Mild sprain - no tearing , li...

Rheumatoid Arthritis is seen by medical science as being passed down the female line as an autoimmune blood disease, often with an onset in middle of menopause. Science has identified the processes involved in Rheumatoid Arthritis as resulting from an excess of iron in the body which burns out the synovial fluid thereby reducing the lubrication available in the joints. The inflammation results ultimately in damage to the joints themselves and severe pain until finally the joints seize up and...
Psoric Arthritis is an interesting one, and even the word Psora is one from 18th and 19th century medical language and means 'coming from the blood', meaning taints from previous generations. (In modern day terms 'genetic' ). The other common illness also seen then as 'coming from the blood' is Psoriasis. Furthermore, these psoric illnesses were directly attributed to the abuse of the orthodox medical treatments (poisons) of the day, primarily mercury, arsenic and antimony, used so c...
Osteoporosis is a progressive disease affecting the density of bones making them more likely to fracture. Bones require not only an adequate supply of the minerals calcium, silica and phosphorus but also in the correct proportions to make them hard and dense. In addition the bones require the correct hormones and adequate Vitamin D to allow the body to absorb the minerals. After 30 years of age bones slowly start to decrease in density. Osteoporosis can begin postmenop...
Osteomyelitis is a bone infection usually caused by bacteria but sometimes by a fungus. Bones may become infected from three different routes firstly via the blood, secondly by direct invasion such as fractures or surgery and thirdly adjacent soft tissue infections. Once this occurs the soft inner part (bone marrow) can swell and press against the rigid outer wall of the bone. This can further complicate the pathology by cutting the blood supply to the bone or cause abscesses in adja...
