SPOTLIGHT ON PAIN AND WEIGHT MANAGEMENT
I would like to look at pain and

it new hope, new focus and for
many of us, a New Year’s resolution which we hope will

PAIN IS THE BODY’S WARNING SIGNAL
Pain is a necessary evil to
signal us that something is
wrong within our body.
Chronic pain is a pain that
has lasted longer than three
months and may interfere
with a person’s daily activity.
We have many possible
causes of pain; trauma, obesity, tumors, poor muscle
development, poor posture,
flat feet, food sensitivities,
too much coffee, emotional
issues, poor diet, dental problems, nerve impingements
and the wrong cytokine and/
or prostaglandin formation.
Dietary issues can include a
lack of probiotics and B12
which is needed to help with
mylination of nerve fibers.
The cause for pain I look at
most often is dietary in addition to nutrient depletion
Some foods that may need to
be eliminated because they
promote the wrong cytokine and
prostaglandin are nightshade
vegetable such as eggplant and
white potatoes. White bread and
shellfish are also common irritants. I encourage clients to
drink at least 6 eight ounce
glasses of filtered water daily to
help flush out toxins and avoid
dehydration.

RECOMMENDATIONS TO HELP WITH PAIN RELIEF
Supplements that I recommend include Omega 3
fatty acid (Metagenic EPA
DHA 720), Curamin, Vitalzym, Nature’s Collagen, B12 and Dr. Ohhira’s Professional Probiotic.
CURCUMIN
Is a blend of Curcumin
BCM-95, Boswellia and
DLPA and nattokinase. This
blend is a very absorbable
form of Curcumin. Most supplements have only 2 to 5%
Curcumin which may not be
usable by the body. Curcumin can be used with other
pain relieving medications.
The list of conditions that
Curcumin has helped includes cancer, chronic pain
including arthritis, memory
problems, Alzheimer's and
dementia.
NATURE’S COLLAGEN
This formulation contains collagen type 2, MSM glucosamine. I would use this with the
Curcumin for arthritis pain
along with EPA-DHA 720.
WHAT DO SYSTEMIC ENZYMES DO?
The word ‘systemic’ means
body wide. Systemic enzymes
are those that operate not just
for digestion but throughout
your body in every system and
organ. Any enzyme is a biocatalyst - something that
makes something else work or
work faster. Systemic enzymes are naturally antiinflammatory and our first line
against inflammation.
Take Vitalzym Systemic
Enzymes and watch
your pain, inflammation, fibroids tumors
and scar tissue just
disappear! And, as an
added bonus Vitalzym
will lower your
cholesterol, kill candida
and so much more!!
Vitalzym is truly the
most miraculous health
supplement on the
market .
For best results take on an empty stomach.
Pain X
is a combination
of natural
products
that support acute
pain associated
with overwork, exercise or muscle
strain. I would use this
formula with Nature’s Collagen for chronic Arthritis
pain.
BURSITIS
Bursitis refers to inflammation—a deflated sac containing a small amount
of lubricating fluid that normally allows muscle and tendons to move painlessly and
smoothly over bones. Beside the hip, bursitis most commonly strikes the elbow, knee,
shoulder and heel. It is often hard to distinguish bursitis from other conditions such as
tendionitis. To rule out other conditions you may need an X-ray or MRI. Over doing it
may bring on sudden bouts, pay attention to the pain and stop the activity.

hours says a new study. Researchers had 10 men age 22 to 33
ride a stationary bicycle for 45 minutes at a vigorous pace. During the 14 hours after the cycling the
men burned 190 more calories than they did on a day when they were told to move very little. That
is in addition to the 520 calories they burned while cycling. Any exercise is better than no exercise
and moderate intensity exercise, like walking can lower your risk of diabetes, heart disease, breast
and colon cancer and other health problems. But vigorous exercise which means you are too out of
