Go for Drug-Free Pain Relief

Chronic pain is persistent, long-lasting discomfort that doesn't resolve itself or respond to routine pain-relief methods.Today more than 150 million Americans suffer chronic pain. This amounts to a whopping 100% increase in just a dozen years! How is it possible, with our modern  medicine, that people are suffering more, not less? When it comes to pain relief, most people turn first to their medicine cabinet and have more than one pain reliever on hand to choose from.

Acetaminophen

While acetaminophen (Tylenol) offers temporary pain relief and fever reduction, it does not reduce swelling (inflammation). It can be harmful to the liver and kidney if you take more than the recommended dose.

Non-Steroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs)

Yes, NSAID's work fast to relieve acute pain, but they may cause gastrointestinal bleeding. They may also be harmful if you have high blood pressure or kidney disease. And they should NEVER be given to children. Aspirin has been associated with a disease called Reye's syndrome in children.

Narcotics Painkillers

This type of prescription drugs is powerful, but abuse and addition are serious side effects. An estimated 20 percent of people in the United States have used prescription drugs for non-medical reasons. The problem is serious and it is growing. The availability of drugs is probably one reason. Doctors are prescribing more drugs for more health problems than ever before.

If you are still in pain from a recent injury, or are suffering chronic pain, then you know the Golden Rule of Pain: Drugs don't fix the problem, they only mask the symptoms. And pain is a symptom, not the problem. Pain relief medications should only be used temporarily, if needed. The more natural and preventive approach is to understand the pain problem, and take proactive approaches to relieving pain and preventing new pain.

 Relief Is In Lifestyle Choices

Relax more often to lower stress levels

Find  time for yourself throughout the day to focus on your breathing and clear the clutter from your mind; learn to stay focused on the most important tasks in your life.

Get better sleep

7 to 9 hours of sleep is a must for optimal health; getting a good night's sleep is key to controlling systemic inflammation.

Maintain a healthy weight

There is no question that eating healthy is not easy nowadays, whether you're at home or at a restaurant. But at the very least, you must try to decrease your intake of sugars and hydrogenated oils and increase your daily intake of fiber. Ideally, you should be consuming 35 grams of fiber.

Manual therapies aid relief

Manual therapies, such as massage, chiropractic and other forms of bodywork do wonders for keeping the body supple, stretched, relaxed, and pain free. The removal or diminishing of trigger points and spasms and the increase in blood flow which brings nutrients and oxygen to painful areas... is like a wonder drug in itself.

Use natural Homeopathic remedies

When on-going pain relief is sought—as in chronic condition and immediate acute trauma—we recommend turning to natural Homeopathic products for help. Systemic proteolytic enzymes, such as found in the formulas Heal-N-Soothe and Rub-On-Relief, offer methods of removing metabolic waste from blood and tissue while bringing fresh blood, oxygen and nutrients to help healing—without the synthetic drug side-effects.

Should You Use Ice or Heat to Treat Back Pain?

Ice or heat? Heat or ice? That's probably the most common question asked about treating back pain. The best way to answer it, I have found, is to explain exactly what ice and heat do and why they help relieve pain. Once you understand the mechanism behind these treatments, you'll be more likely to use them when your own back pain flares up.

The Pain-Spasm Cycle

Let's  say you have sciatica. Your  muscle goes into spasm. Your body reacts to this "injury" by sending more white blood cells to the injury site to fight the problem. That means fewer red blood cells go there, which means the injured area is getting less oxygen and nutrients, and waste products aren't being carried away.

It may also put the muscle into a pain-spasm cycle. The injury triggers nerves to send signals to the brain, which interprets it as pain. This pain tells the brain to send a signal back to the injured area, which contracts the muscles to close off blood supply to prevent swelling. But this lack of blood supply actually leads to more pain, more swelling and more spasms.

  The initial spasm causes pain and swelling, which leads to more injury and further spasms. More pain, more spasms, more pain, more spasms—a vicious cycle. Without treatment, this cycle can last for years. The only way to begin healing the muscle is to break this cycle. That's where ice and heat come into play.

Which is Best

If both heat and ice do the same thing, which is better to treat back pain? There are really no hard and fast rules, but I typically have my patients do the following:

1. When an injury first occurs, use ice first. This is true whether the injury is acute (caused by some trauma like lifting something heavy or sitting too long) . It's also important to use ice fast. You need to get ice to the injury within 5 minutes to get the best effect. If you're not at home and don't have ice handy, buy a bag of ice. Begin treatment immediately. Apply ice for the first 48-72 hours. Use it for 20 minutes, then take it off for 20. Repeat as often as you can.

2. After 48-72 hours, when you feel the swelling has gown down and the pain-spasm cycle is broken, you can begin stretching the injured muscle with the appropriate exercises. At this point, choosing ice or heat is really up to you. Most people like heat before they exercise and ice after. Either way, you're getting red blood cells to the area to promote healthy healing.

3. For a really advanced treatment plan, I recommend a contrast bath. Try 20 minutes of heat followed immediately by 20 minutes of ice. Repeat three times. The contrast really shocks the body and gets it out of the pain-spasm cycle.

What to use and how to apply

Let's start with ice. The best application of ice I have found is to use a Zip-loc bag with crushed ice in a bit of water, Remove all of the air from the bag and then zip it closed. It is best to also put a wet paper towel on your skin over the affected area, then apply the ice bag.
 

To further improve the effectiveness of ice, first rest the area, then use a wrap over the ice pack to improve the contact with the skin and to compress the area to minimize the swelling. If the area can be elevated, please try to elevate it to allow the area to drain at the same time.

Now with heat. There are heating lamps, heating pads, hot tubs, hot showers, pain creams with cayenne pepper and even ultrasound, which is a form of heat..
I know what you are going to ask which works the best. Personally, I love the hot tub. Unfortunately I do not own one and going to a community hot tub is like taking a dip in a cesspool.

 

As technology advances and becomes cheaper for the masses, far-infrared heat is by far at the top of my list now. Far-infrared heat transforms safe light energy into safe heat energy, at a frequency that penetrates the body up to three inches with an even distribution and prolonged thermal effects.

Remember that heat and ice are not the solution to long-term pain relief. They are the paths to the solution. The goal of both ice and heat is to break the pain-spasm cycle and allow you to do the stretching exercises that build muscle strength and flexibility. That's what brings prolonged pain relief. And that's the ultimate goal.

Eliminate Back Pain Quickly: Laugh Your Way to Pain Relief

Eliminate Back Pain Quickly: Laugh Your Way to Pain Relief: "A man rushed into a veterinarian's office carrying his limp, lifeless dog. The vet examined the animal and told the man the dog was dead. ..."

Laugh Your Way to Pain Relief

A man rushed into a veterinarian's office carrying his limp, lifeless dog. The vet examined the animal and told the man the dog was dead. The man asked if there was any way the doctor could revive the dog. The doctor left the room and returned with a cat, who sniffed the dog from head to tail then looked up at the vet and meowed.

"Sorry," said the doctor. "There's nothing I can do."
"Thanks for trying," said the man with a sigh. "How much do I owe you?"
"Three hundred and fifty dollars," replied the doctor.
"Three hundred and fifty dollars! Just to tell me my dog is dead?"

"Well," said the doctor, "it was $50 for the office visit. The other $300 is for the CAT scan."

Whether the above joke made you laugh or groan, it lightened your mood. And if you had been in pain, many scientists agree, it would have eased the hurt - at least temporarily.

How does laughter reduce pain?

Clinical staff consistently note that the primary benefit of humor therapy is that it serves as a diversionary tactic - that is, it takes a patient's mind off the pain.

Laughing, in fact, has been shown to increase the body's natural killer cells and T-cells, which are types of cells that attack foreign material in our bodies. Laughter also keeps away negative emotions such as anxiety and depression, which tend to weaken the immune system.

If you keep the Huh Huh Huh - going for long periods of time and increase the number of times you do it while at the same time shrugging your upper body you will keep the oxygen flowing to the cells that need it and you will be giving what you body need to begin to reduce your pain and speed healing.

A study published in the Journal of Holistic Nursing reported that patients who were told one-liners after surgery and before painful medication was administered perceived less pain when compared to patients who didn't get a dose of humor as part of their therapy.

Another study, this one published in the Journal of Applied Behavioral Analysis, found that young girls with burns who were shown cartoons during very painful hydrotherapy said they felt less pain than similar patients who were not exposed to cartoons during the same procedure.

A second theory of how laughter helps relieve pain is that it triggers the release of endorphins, the chemicals in the brain that can make us feel good.

So, whether you prefer Dirty jokes, Redneck jokes or Funny Photos the Internet has provide us with an unlimited number of resources not to mention the ton of emails that you get from your friends that they think are funny and they just have to send to you for some reason thinking that you have the time to read it and that you have nothing else to do. Maybe just read one a week and see how you feel.

If you do read a joke or see a funny photo and it does put a smile on your face learn to keep that smile going longer and feel how good you feel when you keep your head up and a smile on your face.

Life will always be full of challenges but we should always be driven to seek those thing that give us Joy and Peace, so if a joke can give you 30 seconds of joy, read a joke and keep smiling.

4 Pain-Busting Ingredients You NEED To Know About...

 

Let's face it.

Pain is 1 thing in our lives we ALL want to get rid of forever. Unfortunately, with every passing year... it seems to consume our lives more often – and with more intensity.

Therefore it makes sense that we should be looking for ways to prevent and eliminate it... right?

Today I'd like to share with you 4 of my top “pain-busting” ingredients you need to be taking advantage of in order to banish virtually ANY pain you experience into the abyss... forever.

Pain-Busting Ingredient #1: Cetyl Myristoleate   

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Cetyl Myristoleate is a little-known “powerhouse” formula that is backed up by
some impressive studies and undeniable proof.

In fact... in a study conducted by the University of Connecticut, they found
that it delivered long-lasting relief to 100% of participants in the study.

That means every... single... person... found the relief they were searching for.

How is that possible?

When applied to the body, it has the unique ability to apply continuous
lubrication, cushions the joints from everyday wear-n-tear, as well as actually
repairs the damaged cell membranes by increasing cell membrane fluidity
and elasticity.

In layman's terms... it gives you fast, immediate relief by cushioning and
lubricating your joints... and long-term relief by repairing the damage that
is causing your pain.

Hence the reason every single person who uses it... finds relief.

Pain-Busting Ingredient #2: Ignatia  

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Ignatia is another little-known substance which many experts refer to as a “NATURAL non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug”.

It's has been used by Chinese doctors for centuries to help calm the nerves and relieve pain due to emotional upset.

Ever notice how tight and sore your muscles get around the time when you're stressed?

This happens because as your mind gets more stressed... your muscles tighten up and it restricts blood flow.

... and increases pain!

By relaxing the muscles and nerves you'll experience more blood flow which releases the pressure pushing down on the nerves... which gives you more mobility in your joints and muscles and less pain!

Pain-Busting Ingredient #3: MSM 

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

This well-studied and continually proven pain-reliever is quickly becoming a “legend” for relieving joint pain (including back pain) safely and naturally.

In a study reported in “The Journal of Anti-Aging Medicine”... researchers found that people taking MSM enjoyed an 80% reduction in pain when compared to the placebo group.

Pretty impressive... to say the least!

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Pain-Busting Ingredient #4: Menthol   

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Menthol is known for quickly and naturally reducing pain by increasing the blood flow and circulation to the area it's applied which helps eliminate waste in the blood and speeds healing.

It's also proven to reduce, minimize and prevent muscle spasms and cramping... which is a godsend to anyone who experiences them on a regular basis!

Here's the problem.

If you were to buy these separately... not only would it cost a kings ransom... you'd also need to understand how to use each individual substance for maximum effectiveness.

Thankfully, Jesse Cannone... founder of “The Health Back Institute” and legend in the back-pain industry... has come up with something that's both incredibly affordable – and super easy to use.

The answer... is “Rub On Relief”.

Rub on Relief is a specialized pain-relieving formula Jesse personally created to allow people to bypass the harmful drugs found in anti-inflammatory drugs and most topical pain relief creams.

Rub It On And Watch Your Pain Dissolve!  

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Rub On Relief is so easy to use, it's borderline ridiculous.

You simply massage “Rub On Relief” into your skin... and watch as your pain literally dissolves into nothing over the next few minutes.

That's it!

And because of the unique proprietary formula Jesse put together... you'll never have to deal with that lingering “menthol” smell on your fingers or the burning sensation you feel for hours on end like you do with over the counter pain-relief formulas such as Icy Hot (which, by the way... does NOT provide long-term relief... only short-term by numbing the pain).
