GardenCast – The Healing and Calming Benefits Of Lettuce Alkaloids

June 7th, 2010 6 comments
What an awesome weekend here in Indiana.
 
I did a lot of gardening and was amazed again by all the white "sap" or latex that oozes out of lettuce when you break off the leaves.
 
So Rebecca and I made a GardenCast to tell about the interesting sedative effects that lettuce chemicals contain.  My searches online kept coming up with content about "Lettuce Opium".
 
Hmmmm…very interesting…. 

  

The Hopi tribe used to actually dry and smoke the sap before sleep to induce more lucid dream states.
 
But you can use the power of this amazing chemical in lettuce to calm your nerves and heal your body in the process.
 
This alkaloid compound also helps to block substance-P, which is the chemical that transmits the message of pain to your brain.  (I didn't mention that on the video).
 
But there's lots more to learn, so join us in our back yard garden for a short but very important lesson!
 
See you there!

P.S.  I also talked a bit about magnesium, "earthing", and meditation to be sure to check it out and let me know what you think in the comments below!

Anti-Gravity Posture Through Finger Spreading – How To Make Your Arms Float!

June 4th, 2010 3 comments

I released this exercise about a year ago to the people who were in my first Myobalance Method home program trial group.
 
 
It's pretty amazing and all you need is a very light theraband (we use yellow).
 
 
In the video I refer to an exercise you have not yet seen but it doesn't take away from the power of the message.
 
Even if you don't have a band you'll still benefit with better posture and less pain if you take the "spreading" concept to heart.
 
Enjoy!

BTW…my apologies for being absent over the last few weeks.  A couple of family illnesses have diverted our attention recently.  (Rebecca, I, and the boys are all fine!)
 
But we're getting back on track and I've got the wheels in motion on new coaching program for people who want to get rid of the painful posture of aging and take "Organic" Posture Transformation and Functional fitness to the next level.
 
I'll also be offering solutions to some of the great comments we've been getting on the blog in an upcoming video, so stay tuned!
