Medicaid Pending for me. My Vitamin D deficiency.

2008-09-06T17:47:00.000-07:00

MY MEDICAID UPDATE
I called on Friday to follow-up on my Medicaid application. They said that I should find out something within 30 days on their decision via a letter. I have a good feeling that I should get it but still keep me in your prayers blog readers.

VITAMIN D
It turns out that I am deficient in Vitamin D. While I was away I was not able to take my daily vitamins so I am not surprised. I was also not able to take something else that keeps me regular which is called Hepatox Hx.

The good news is that I am now on prescription strength for 50,000 IU units of Vitamin D, and also back to taking Hepatox Hx.

Hello my fellow blog readers. I was away and did not have access to the computer but glad to be back now.

MEDICAID UPDATE
My last blog was like a cliff hanger of a really good show I know. ha ha I did go today to apply for Medicaid. All I need to do now is wait. They will let me know if I am approved or not. Pray that I get it blog readers because it would mean that it would also cover some recent medical bills as well.

EASY WAY TO EAT RIGHT
TOTAL CEREAL CINNAMON CRUNCH
Below are pictures of the cereal Total Cinnamon Crunch with its food label. Talk about eating healthy, snacking healthy, and doing something that is doable. It has most of your daily vitamins and minerals in just one meal.

HYPOTHYROIDISM (Myxedema) Does Not Play. Applying for Medicaid this week.

2008-07-08T22:07:00.000-07:00

If you have a thyroid problem, or more specifically, Hypothyroidism, you probably want to read the article below. Myxedema is some serious business even where the heart is concerned. I don't know anything yet so don't panic blog readers. All I know is that I have a hard time breathing.
http://www.ecureme.com/emyhealth/data/Myxedema.asp

What I do know is that my hair is dry and brittle lately, and that my Hypothyroidism is not being controlled. The good news is that I am going to be applying for Medicaid this week. Pray that I get it blog readers. If anybody needs it, I need it. I have a lot of school ahead of me, and need to be around to finish it. lol I guess that's funny. LOL

LOOKING INTO MEDICAID & DOCTOR APPOINTMENT ON FRIDAY
I should be going to get the application for Medicaid tomorrow. The hours at a place here are from 9-3. I also have an appointment on Friday which is for a Gynecologist. I have an index card of things to ask and discuss. I will update you on my outcomes.

High Blood Pressure & the Eyes. InVite Health Radio.

2008-06-26T12:47:00.000-07:00

Out of all of the broadcasts I have heard so far from the InVite Health radio program, today helped me the most. I am in the process of trying to control my blood pressure and very glad to be reminded about the health of my eyes with Pre-Hypertension. I will be taking their Macula Hx formula. Update: This pill was a little large for me to want to take. Of course, I also have Hypothyroidism which is a challenge.

Friday is Allergies Day on InVite Health Radio!

2008-06-17T16:38:00.000-07:00

FRIDAY IS ALLERGIES DAY ON INVITE HEALTH RADIO
I have been very busy researching things for my health lately, but did want to go ahead and post this great news. Friday, InVite Health Radio will be discussing Allergies. As a person with severe allergies; including food allergies, I am anxious to listen to this program. I have so many allergies that it is ridiculous. The following things are the minimum I am allergic to and/or give me asthma.

Aleve
Anything that is not cotton in clothing and/or rinsed well.
Aspirin (Gives me asthma. I have taken it though when I feel my heart scares me.)
Cardboard (Gives me asthma.)
Carpet
Cats (Severely allergic to.)
Cleaning Chemicals
Cold Air
Dogs (Various breeds.)
Dust Mites (I use dust mite covers on my bed & pillow cases).
Eggs
Flounder (Possibly all fish as well. I am severely allergic to flounder.)
Hair Spray (This almost takes my breath away.)
Ibuprofen (Causes asthma.)
Jalopenos (Make my throat close.)
Lactose (I am not sure on this one. I might have a problem with dairy.)
Lotions (Including 99% of body lotions.)
Molds (I am living in an older house now.)
Nuts (Not sure about.)
Pickles (I love pickles so this is a hard one to be allergic to.)
Pollen (Sneezeola here.)
Popcorn (My throat closes with this one.)
Ragweed
Roach something. (Gross, but listed as an allergy.)
Running (No brainer there. lol)
Shrimp
Smoke
Soaps (Most soaps eat my skin right up.)
Strong Smells (Strong smells are very hard on me.)
Tree (My allergy testing lab results are in a box but there is a tree I am sensitive to.)
Wine (Sulfites in wine. I very rarely drink but do like red wine.)

TALKING ABOUT MY HEALTH
ENDOCRINE CHALLENGES
I cannot take most NSAIDS (non-steroidal anti-flammatory drugs) because of my asthma. I am thinking that I have Rheumatoid Arthritis but have to dive into my blood work again. I don't have Lupus but from the things I read (trying to heal myself here), I might have Rheumatoid Arthritis like my cousin. My toes look like they are changing, my right knee is a challenge, my joints sort of look like it on my hands. My father has arthritis in his spine, and my mother has Osteoporosis, so I worry about me taking care of myself. There is also a family history of heart problems and cancer. Needless to say, I am really trying to make up for lost time in trying to help my body before anything else goes wrong. I think I also have low blood sugar like my mother. Not sure on that one at all though. My father and brother have Diabetes, and my other brother has Lupus. Endocrine problems in our family seems to be the theme. My Hypothryoidism is an an endocrine body system as well.

GLOVE’N CARE LOTION & CLEOPATRA’S CHOICE LOTION
My hands used to stay in hives but now I have somehow not had allergic reactions, on my hands, by avoiding the triggers and keeping them moisturized. I can only use two lotions on my hands. Glove’n Care lotion works on my hands and the Cleopatra's Choice Mineral Hand Cream. Hydrocortisone thinned my skin from years of use. I wear gloves when I clean, dust, or apply lotions to my legs.

MORE TO COME
I will be talking about my recent health overhaul project of how to orchestrate and organize healthy meals. Lots of fun ideas to come.

Getting Vitamin D-3, & Super B Vitamins!

2008-06-13T20:26:00.000-07:00

SINGULAIR HELPING MY BREATHING
I think I underestimated how much Singulair was helping me. I am not happy about being on a medication again that can damage my liver and suppress my immune system but have no choice if I want to breathe.

VITAMIN D-3 & SUPER B-VITAMINS
I got even more vitamins tonight. I got the Super B Vitamins by Nutricology, and Vitamin D (Vitamin Shoppe brand). I think these vitamins should help me tremendously. Stress ravages the body of B-vitamins.

I am back on Singulair. Healing on the inside.

2008-06-12T14:17:00.001-07:00

TAKING SINGULAIR AGAIN
LATEST WITH MY HEALTH
I started taking my Singulair again because I started needing to take my asthma spray. It will realistically be a while until I can stop Singulair cold turkey but for now, I have decided to get back on this drug for my health maintenance. As soon as I have the funds from either working or getting a tax refund back, I will be getting more things for my health. I have a long list of things I want and need including a good mild Candida cleanse.

HEALING ON THE INSIDE
I asked a lot from my body with having a lot of stress the last two years. I was going back and forth between the DC area and NC for financial reasons, and then moving to NY where I had to make adjustments there as well. It is going to take some real babying of my body to get it back on track. As a whole, stress from financial challenges has been awful on my health.

The good news is that I am making steps, in the right direction, with foods and nutriceuticals that will heal.

If there is anybody else out there with one leg slightly longer than the other like me, here is how to locate a Foot Leveler orthotic provider. http://footlevelers.com/conditions/short_leg.php

Note: These are not my legs but just a visual example of Short-Leg.

My right knee takes the slack because it is the longer leg. I am going to be finding out the health effects of have having one leg longer than the other; especially where my circulatory system is concerned.

SO MUCH MORE TO COME
CIRCULATORY SYSTEM SUPPLEMENTS
I learned some wonderful things today blog readers about Grape Seed extract, White Tea, Veins Hx, Resveratrol, Black Seed & Rosemary, & Olive Leaf. I hope to do a doable Candida cleanse soon as well.

Eating Better, Father's Day, & More Cool Web Sites.

FATHER’S DAY NEXT SUNDAY
Father’s Day is next Sunday. I have lots of creative gift ideas but think the gift of health is always the greatest gift. You can get him the cool stuff for his birthday or Christmas, but give him the gift of health for Father's Day.

MY HEAVY MENSTRUAL BLEEDING
VITAMIN K
Sometimes things can be so simple but if they are not known, you would never know to make that little change. Tonight or tomorrow I am going to be getting Vitamin K because it might help with my heavy menstrual bleeding. My daily vitamin only has 35% of the daily recommended value for Vitamin K, so I will add a little to that to see if it helps me. My periods really wipe me out. Below is a link to anemia info. Please know that this is not considered medical advice.

My health progress update in this heat.

2008-06-07T12:33:00.000-07:00

VITAMIN DEPLETION IN MY BODY
SINGULAIR USE
I am learning so much about my health. Today I listened to a radio broadcast that talked about how nutrients in the body can be depleted over a period of time. Tomorrow the same show airs at 11:00 am. I am going to try and tune in again so I can fill in the blanks with the notes I was taking.

The bookmark for this show is on My Favorite Web Sites list on the right-hand side.

INTEGRATIVE DOCTORS
HOLISTIC PRACTITIONERS
I am currently trying to find a web site that is a holistic/integrative doctor locator. There are organizations out there starting to compile this info, but in the meantime, I wanted a very straight-forward way to search for integrative doctors even in rural areas that that have not made it to various online, alternative searchable databases.
Holistic Doctors & Practitioners Search Engine. (You enter in your zip code at the top in front of the "Search" button).

SO FAR SO GOOD WITH NO SINGULAIR
So far so good with me not taking Singulair to control my asthma & allergies. It has been two days and I am still doing no worse than I was when I was when I taking it. Day by day I am going to keep an eye on how I feel and any changes.

I have my Albuterol inhaler, and OTC allergy medications to use as a backup as well. I had to use these for my health management when I was on Singulair anyway. We shall see what the difference will be. Stay tuned blog readers.

Two years ago. . I started taking Singulair and two years ago I started feeling bad. Correlation?

2008-06-05T17:27:00.000-07:00

Okay, here is the latest. I started using deductive reasoning by thinking back to when I stopped feeling good. Two years ago the change was that I started taking Singulair.

Before taking Singulair, even with my severe allergies, I was able to walk five miles a day. Now, two years later, I can hardly stand to take a shower to wash my hair.

Here is what WorstPills.org says about Singulair:

"montelukast (SINGULAIR); zafirlukast (ACCOLATE)
We list these drugs as Do Not Use drugs because they are less effective than other drugs and can cause blood vessel inflammation, liver disease, lupus and recurrences of ulcerative colitis."

Did you see all that it can cause blog readers? Count me out. I am going to see if it makes me feel better to NOT take this drug which suppressed my immune system for two years. Update: I am back on my Singulair now because it did wonders for my allergies and asthma.
http://www.worstpills.org/results.cfm?drug_id=1026

TAKING CARE OF MYSELF IN THIS HEAT
In the meantime, I am not overexerting myself especially with it being hot outside now, watching my thyroid, paying attention to my body’s signs, learning about pre-menopause, and even taking supplements. I am doing everything I can think of doing to get back to the Rebecca I was only two years ago. I am wondering if there is some kind of connection with Singulair and Hypothyroidism. Whatever the case, I am not going to take that stupid drug anymore.

PMS PREDICTS PROBLEM MENOPAUSE
So much to elaborate on but in my quest for knowledge, I found this article that talks about how PMS can be a sign of a bad menopause to come when that transition happens. Oops. lol
http://www.womenlivingnaturally.com/articlepage.php?id=150

COMING UP
VITAMIN B-5 SUPPLEMENTATION
I will be getting Vitamin B-5 to help my adrenal glands, and to see if it helps balance out my thyroid hormones some as well. B-5 vitamins are also helpful vitamins for stress.

You might see me get better after all blog readers. :) Next destination, energy level.

I am still feeling good. I might be doing something right.

2008-06-02T17:15:00.000-07:00

STILL FEELING GOOD
I am still feeling good. I can breathe so much better and deeper now. My body aches have also decreased tremendously. Who knows exactly why, but what I am doing seems to be helping.

ERRATIC PERIODS
Other than starting my period again yesterday, I am doing great. I had a period for only one day and then it stopped for a few days.

I am looking forward to getting to the bottom of my thyroid antibodies challenge, hormone issues, and/or premenopausal woes.

SO MUCH TO ELABORATE ON
Because I have learned so many new things, I thought I should go ahead and post web sites instead of waiting until I could compose paragraphs to go along with them.

Note: The various health topics below are things I am researching on for my health, and not considered medical advice.

CLARY SAGE FOR HORMONES
http://aromaweb.com/essentialoilsaf/clarysage.asp

CLARY SAGE & GNC
This is cool. GNC apparently has aromatherapy as well. Here is the link to the Clary Sage aromatherapy there. Aromatherapy suppliers are far from where I live, so I typically ordered mine online before. GNC is actually a little ways from me as well.

REFLEXOLOGY HELPED MY PMS
As a side note, Reflexology has always helped my PMS. It is sort of hard to do Reflexology on yourself, for the same effect as somebody else doing it, but there are foot rollers available out there.

THE CAUSE OF PMS
So many great things I am learning about blog readers. I might be the one that actually helps my own health.

RELIEF FROM PELVIC PAIN
PROSOOTHE
I have not tried this product yet but definitely want to get it in the near future.
http://www.womenlivingnaturally.com/product.php?id=50

COMMON UTERINE CONDITIONS
FREQUENT URINATION
I am researching any possible reason of why I use the bathroom so frequently sometimes. For as long as I can remember, I have always used the bathroom frequently whether it be from my adrenal glands, pituitary glands, or whatever the reason.

This is a link to uterine conditions. I am just exhausting possibilities here to be thorough.
http://www.ahrq.gov/consumer/uterine1.htm

VITAMIN TIDBIT
Some vitamins are water-soluble and some are fat-soluble. Some vitamins stay in the body longer than others within that as well. So much more to learn about and elaborate on.

LATEST WITH MY SCHOOLING PLANS
I am trying to make a decision of which route to take first in all that I want to take in school. I want to take classes like herbs, pre-nursing, and even wondering if I should think about taking Biochemistry curriculum courses. I love school and plan on being in school a while either way.

It is my belief that you do not have to learn "all or nothing", even though it took me a long time to realize that. You can learn "all and anything" you want to learn.

Natrol's PMS Control & Vitamin B-6 has changed my life.

2008-05-28T22:19:00.000-07:00

FEELING A LOT BETTER
My formula for success so far has been the following: Theragran-M Advanced daily vitamins, Magnesium, a little Vitamin E (contains Soy), a PMS Control supplement (with lots of Vitamin B-6), and Licorice Root.

The daily vitamins I got from Walgreens. Everything else I got at the Vitamin Shoppe.

My new bag of Adora Calcium has the possibility of containing traces of nuts but then again I tried the Dark Chocolate one this time. It could be because it is manufactured in a shared facility. I might change my Calcium supplement just in case to a product called Cal-Mag Citrate that is by Whole Foods.

VITAMIN B-6 FOR ASTHMATICS
Vitamin B-6 has changed my life. Did you know that some doctors inject Vitamin B-6 for asthmatics? I never knew that. I have had asthma since birth, and no doctor bothered to tell me that if it was known. Nope, no emergency room doctor (out of all the visits I have been on), no doctor in any area ---> nobody.

NATURAL HERBS GUIDE WEB SITE
This web site is where I learned that some doctors can give injections of Vitamin B-6 for their asthmatic patients. I really want to learn more in this area so that I can one day prescribe these simplistic solutions for people without health insurance. Please know that this is not considered medical advice but just from a person without health insurance looking for ways to feel better.

Angel Diffusers, Premenopause, Home Menopause Test Kit, & Mercury Hair Testing Kit

2008-05-26T05:25:00.000-07:00

“HOW CAN THYROID AFFECT MENOPAUSE” ARTICLE
This article was a Godsend! Did you know that Hypothyroidism can indicate a Premenopausal condition? I was wondering this myself after noticing some physical changes and the hot flashes I have been having even though I am only 35 years old. Did you know that the ovaries are part of the endocrine system?

This article validated my common sense theory. I am not saying that I am Premenopausal but will be anxious to get the home kit below and ask the gynecologist I will be seeing soon.
http://ezinearticles.com/?How-Can-Thyroid-Affect-Menopause&id=969796

The thing is that Premenopause and Hypothryoidism have a lot of the same symptoms. I could have both especially because of some physical things I have noticed about myself. I have hot flashes, fatigue, and other signs of being Peri-menopausal as well.

HOME MENOPAUSE TEST KIT
PREMENOPAUSAL CONDITION
The link below is to a home test kit that is FDA approved and CLIA waived. Needless to say, I am going to get this kit before or after I go to the gynecologist in the near future.

The last time I went to a gynecologist was two years ago. I have also been feeling bad for the last two years. I would say that two years ago is when my health started declining to a dull roar. I could have Hypothyroidism and be Premenopausal. Long or short road ahead but being my own health advocate seems to be helping.
http://www.home-menopause-test.com/

AROMATHERAPY OILS FOR EMOTIONAL WELL-BEING
Smells make me feel a lot better just like a familiar noise. Of course, not all smells are healthy for us because of their chemical compound. Below is a link to look up aromatherapy in the emotional well-being category.
http://aromaweb.com/essentialoils/default.asp

ANGEL DIFFUSERS
AROMATHERAPY ROOM SPRAYS
This is a link to a page that has all kinds of wonderful things like Angel diffusers, aromatherapy room sprays, & organic essential oils.

I am going to get the Angel passive diffuser. This wonderful diffuser even has a little piece of Velcro on the back. I could use this feature to attach it to my monitor. Now I can smell glorious Lavender, Bergamot, or whatever, in the form of an esthetically comforting angel near by. Wonderful!
http://www.aromaland.com/

HAIR MERCURY TESTING
I have metal fillings and have also been reading about Mercury vaccines and their possible relationship to Autism. I have to read more to comment.

None of this is considered medical advice but know that if you eat seafood, you might want to get Mercury hair testing done. I cannot eat seafood, because I am allergic to it, but do have metal fillings.
https://secureusa.greenpeace.org/mercury/

The Mercury hair test kit can be ordered through an organization called, Greenpeace. If you have a NY address, you cannot order the kit because of some kind of licensure policy. You can maybe get somebody else to get it for you, or have it shipped somewhere else. The kit costs $25.00. I will have mine shipped to my mother's house.
https://secureusa.greenpeace.org/mercury/

WANT TO LOOK UP YOUR BOTTLED WATER?
ACIDIC VS ALKALINE WATER
I always knew that I loved Deer Park bottled water. It looks like Deer Park water is alkaline. Wonderful because they are my favorite bottled water to date. Here is a link on where you can look up your bottled water. It has all kinds of other interesting information as well.
http://www.mineralwaters.org/

TESTING YOUR WATER
So much to post on here blog readers. So many things I have learned and so many web sites I can tell you about. Here is a resource where you can test your water at home with Edmund Scientific.

USDA FOOD PYRAMID'S NEW DIMENSIONS!

2008-05-24T17:07:00.000-07:00

CBS NEWS UPDATE!
USDA FOOD PYRAMID'S NEW DIMENSIONS!
The article from CBS News mentions a Vitamin E caution. There is also a new USDA Food Pyramid as well. Boy, health care is a real headache.
http://www.cbsnews.com/elements/2005/04/20/in_depth_health/frameset689760.shtml

Here is where you can customize your plan too. Love it.
http://www.mypyramid.gov/mypyramid/index.aspx

PROCESS OF ADDITION FOR MY BODY CHEMISTRY
As you know, I just recently started taking Theragran-M Advanced daily vitamins which are wonderful, and easy to swallow for me.

I do know that I need a higher ratio of some supplements so I have decided to get each supplement, I need more of, by itself. By doing this "process by addition", I can test brands, test improvements in the way I feel, and have the option of increasing or lowering the ratios intakes as needed. It’s all about body chemistry and no two of us are alike.

Just as an example, our daily vitamins might give us enough of one vitamin, and/or too much of another vitamin. I take Magnesium and Calcium outside of my daily vitamin, and will be adding Vitamin E to that list as well. For me, Vitamin E might help with my asthma. By taking it separately, I can take more as needed. My daily vitamin only has 60IU (international units) when I have read that I could even do with 400IU. By me taking a vegan Vitamin E supplement, I can improve the way I feel and even make breathing easier. That means there is a difference of 340IU I could be getting. I guess my point is that we could be taking more Vitamin E for our health.

**CBS NEWS UPDATE**
**It has been cautioned for intake only up to 400IU. **

This is the link again to customize your Food Pyramid. The interactive tool should come in very handy and leave out some of the guess work.
http://www.mypyramid.gov/mypyramid/index.aspx

MEDICATIONS REDUCE VITAMINS & MINERALS IN OUR BODIES
This is also as an FYI, but did you know that some medications reduce the vitamins and minerals in our bodies? Charts will be attached to my blog, at a later time, along with all kinds of other resources.

My asthma spray reduces the Magnesium in my body.

CALCIUM & THE HEART
Here is another tidbit of information. Did you know that when your body does not have enough of a certain vitamin, like Calcium, it will take it from organs like your heart? Scary huh.

MAGNESIUM UPDATE
GETTING VEGAN SUPPLEMENTS
Today I got Magnesium Citrate, made by NutriCology, that is Hypoallergenic and vegan. Believe you me, you want to take vegan from what I have seen. For somebody like me with various severe food allergies, I really have to watch what I consume in food or supplementation.

For example, there are vitamins from nuts or shellfish. I cannot consume these types of supplements.

VITAMIN E
Tomorrow I will be getting Vitamin E supplements because I have read, from alternative viewpoints, that we need like 400 IU of this supplement. It is also suggested from this reading to get the natural form and not the synthetic form. The one that I am going to get tomorrow is Carlson’s E-Gems Elite which costs $13.99 @ Vitamin Shoppe. You can get these vitamins online as well. This supplement comes in 60 soft gels. That is important to somebody like me that needs to take something that is easy to swallow. Update: Please note that this is not considered medical advice but just from somebody that is trying to help herself naturally where possible. There are always mixed viewpoints on something as intricate as health care. The study mentioned on CBS News was on unhealthy patients and not on healthy patients as a baseline. The decline "started" at 400 IU in his study. A doctor that did not agree with his views was also quoted in today's CBS News' article.

STRESS MANAGEMENT ON A BUDGET
Because I cannot afford massage therapy or reflexology at the present time, I am looking for alternative ways to distress and heal.

Being unemployed, no health insurance, and in a new area I don’t like, has really taken a toil on my health. Just little things like not being near the stores and food places I am used to, has really depleted my energy level. I am further away from my family, and in a cold climate area, which does not keep my spirits high. The good news is that summer is just around the corner even here.

So much to tell you blog readers like how supplements can help your body defend itself against the damaging effects of stress.

COMING UP
Getting Vitamin E, my Mercury fillings worry, and more of me being my own health advocate. I should be a doctor blog readers. What do you think? lol

CARRIE BROWN'S Walk for the AHA

2008-05-23T19:50:00.000-07:00

CARRIE BROWN'S WALK FOR THE AHA (AMERICAN HEART ASSOC.)
Okay blog readers, this posting is personal because I need donations for my sister-in-law, who is also a new mommy to my nephew Gabriel. I love this picture. Love it. Both she and my brother have been good to me in the past, and I would like to see if I could trickle at least a couple small donations to her for the American Heart Association walk.

There is a history of heart disease in our family and I worry everyday about my parents and their health. I also worry about my health because of the complications my thyroid disease could cause me. Please donate if you can. She is doing the walk with the Catholic Health Initiative's team in Denver, Colorado.

Today I am going to get a Magnesium supplement that I can swallow.

Wake up to Inspirational Bach Classical Music!

2008-05-20T04:50:00.000-07:00

STARTING THE DAY WITH BACH
Because of some hormone changes I am having now and my Hypothyroidism, I have been under the weather. This morning for some reason I decided to wake up with Bach which is my favorite, favorite composer. What a great way to start the day for yourself or your children. Wake them up with some inspirational Bach compositions.

MY PH RESULTS
Yesterday my pH was 6.6. I have also been feeling better because my thyroid meds have been adjusted. I drink water with lemon juice and have/eat healthy foods now. My body is also not aching like it was before. The vitamins and my diet have really helped me feel better.

FOOT SMART®
Foot Smart® has lots of new awesome products out. I want to get some great tennis shoes through them, an arch support, foot levelers, and other great things to pamper my feet.
http://www.footsmart.com/default.aspx

Below are the shoes I want. The tennis shoes have a Plantar Fascia Bridge and an Anti-Pronation heel design. I don’t have Plantar Fasciitis but think I would benefit from the shoes because of the Anti-Pronation heel design. My right foot tends to sort of roll out a little. I think my right leg is longer which might explain that. There is so much to your feet, alignment, and your arches, etc.
http://www.footsmart.com/P-Ecco-Womens-RXP-3060-Running-Shoes-71978.aspx

TWO PAGES OF TOPICS TO TALK ABOUT LATER
HIMALAYAN SALTS, SALT SCRUBS, & MAGNESIUM
So much to come. I have been finding all kinds of wonderful information I think will help my health and well being. Of course Reflexology and Massage Therapy are wonderful healers but unfortunately, I cannot afford those treatments at the present time.

I am currently researching things like Himalayan Salts, Salt Scrubs for my skin, and why Magnesium is so needed in the body. My daily vitamins only have 25% of the recommended daily value for Magnesium so I will be taking this supplement separately.

EBOOKS AVAILABLE NOW FROM KUNZ & KUNZ AUTHORS
These wonderful authors are the trail blazers in bringing us valuable information on the health benefits of Reflexology. Below is a direct link to their eBooks available now for download. The prices vary.

CHEAP pH strips for $1.95/100pk!

2008-05-14T23:04:00.000-07:00

GETTING MY BODY LESS ACIDIC TO HELP MY POOR HEALTH
If you remember from my previous postings, I am on a mission to eat healthier and get my body more alkaline.

VITAMINS, MINERALS AND AN ACIDIC BODY
I really need to get my body more alkaline and less acidic (7.4 is a good number) or the vitamins and minerals in my body are going to stay whacked out of balance from all the acidity. I ran out of my daily vitamins months ago but getting Theragran-M tomorrow. I have a money challenge you could say because I am unemployed and there are no jobs on Long Island. It also takes money if I wanted to work in the city which I don't want to do. Poverty begats no health insurance and thus poor health. I miss the DC metro area so much. I hate this state with a passion.

THINGS ARE LOOKING UP THOUGH ANYWAY
I have just found lots of info that could make a huge difference in the way I feel. When you are unemployed, just the basics like healthy food from all of the food groups is a challenge.

CHEAP PH STRIPS
In the meantime blog readers, I know of a cheap place to get pH strips to test the possible acidity in your body. You can buy pH strips for $1.95/100pk through Edmund Scientific Scientifics.
http://scientificsonline.com/product.asp?pn=3021313&cmss=ph+strips

If I don’t do anything else in life, I need to get back into nursing school when my breathing and thyroid gets better. I think the vitamins should help though.

Healing Crystals, Beads & Gems.

2008-05-10T07:30:00.000-07:00

HEALING CRYSTALS, BEADS & GEMS
I am a firm believer that stress manifests itself into our bodies so lately I have been looking for ways to have a creative outlet for my stress. I listen to my Dizzler, read spiritual things online, and spend my time looking for solutions.

Another self-healing thing is being creative. I want to make my own jewelry out of natural gem stones. Crystals and gems have healing energies so I am going to put this spirituality to great use. Below is a very interesting read on gems and how they can help.

EXCELLENT PIANO TEACHER ONLINE
I love music and have always wanted to learn the piano. I did take a few lessons when I was younger but got bored with it pretty quick. While looking online for ways to have an outlet, I came across this very impressive short video that teaches you really fast the location of piano keys. He makes it easy and does not overwhelm you. Apparently, you can also order the DVDs as well to teach you the rest. It is called Music Ace and that link is below too.

UPDATE ON MY HEALTH
After further diagnosing myself blog readers, I am beginning to think that I might also have the Fibromyalgia/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome in addition to my Hypothyroidism. I am not my old self and really being slowed down by my body aches and energy levels.

Pray for me blog readers. I miss school and need to get my energy back so I will be able to keep up with all that I need to get done.

Mommy Business Cards & Efficiency Potentials

2008-04-05T20:16:00.000-07:00

MOMMY CARDS
While searching for some business forms for a business I am getting ready to start, I came across some absolutely adorable handy forms for mommies. The idea is that you make a business card and indicate whose mom you are! This would be perfect for things like play dates, and to give to teachers. The address you could leave off if you like as well with their advanced editing feature. They have emergency cards you can make too if you like.
Mommy Business Cards

I am not a mommy yet but ideas like this I will put in my 21st Century Hope Chest for when I am a mommy after I finish schooling years from now.

EFFICIENCY POTENTIALS
I am getting ready to start advertising for a business I should have started a long time ago. So far it has just been a hobby with my love of organizing and efficiency. If you know of a company or organization that needs my services, definitely contact me or let them know about me. I can send you and them my card because I am ordering them in the next couple of days. My vCard is available now!

HAPPY EASTER! So many more cool things to come.

FitTV for the Cold Weather Blahs.

2008-03-12T09:17:00.000-07:00

FITTV
Because of the cold weather up here, I have not felt like doing a lot and stay inside a lot. I got to thinking that since I don’t have a treadmill and because it is too cold outside for me, I could just workout to the TV. There are all kinds of exercise shows you can workout to too. They even have Yoga shows.
http://fittv.discovery.com/

This is so cool. All day long there is a channel dedicated to working out without worrying about how I look or going anywhere. You can work out 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 15 minutes, or a whole show. As a daily reminder, you can even sign up for the schedule to be emailed to you.

AQUATIC EXERCISE
If land exercise is too high-impact for your health conditions, you can workout doing aquatic exercises. Consult with your physician of course prior to this. The YMCA offers these classes.

Candida Cleansing, Greens Hx, & Organic Clothing

2008-02-03T19:18:00.000-08:00

RESEARCHING CLEANSES
After glancing through the book Natural Cures “They” Don’t Want You to Know About by Kevin Trudeau, I read that “allergies” is from a clogged liver and needing a Candida cleanse. This book also states that “asthma” could be helped from a Candida cleanse as well. Cleansing, here I come! I am also looking into Probiotics as well.

I will be posting more information here later as soon as I get a chance to go through and purchase various cleanses.

GREENS HX
ALKALINIZING MY BODY
Also in the near future, I will be purchasing Greens Hx to help alkalinize my body. Yesterday my pH was 6.0. I am getting more alkaline but I think the Greens Hx will help because my vegetable intake is not consistent or daily yet.

GREENS HX
METAL FILLINGS
Until I can get my metal fillings removed, the Greens Hx will also help the toxicity from the metal fillings I have in some of my back teeth.

PLATELET DONATION
GIFTS YOU CAN GET IN NY
I doubt this is well known but, if you donate platelets, you can get points that you can use towards a gift or gift card. Of course it does vary by location, but the links below are for donating in New York. So far I have 250 points and you need 400 points to use your points for a gift. It is sort of fun in a weird kind of way too. I used it as an educational opportunity.

Below are the links for the rewards you can get in New York by donating platelets, etc.

ORGANIC CLOTHING
SLEEP SHIRT
With my itchy skin driving me nuts this winter, I ordered an Organic Sleep Shirt at Walmart. That, my new dust mite covers, and a soon to be plugged in humidifer should help a lot with my itchy skin woes at night. It looks like “organic” products are really in the mainstream now and I am glad. Target has even more “organic” items.

GREENBAGS.COM
Now that I am eating even more vegetables, I purchased what you might have seen on TV called, Green Bags. I got mine at Bed Bath and Beyond. According to the web site InfomercialRatings.com, this product does in fact work. I haven’t had a chance to use these bags yet, but will once I go grocery shopping tomorrow.

My Latex Gloves Worry is Over! Lotion from the Dead Sea!

2008-01-13T17:16:00.000-08:00

GLOVE'N CARE FOR SENSITIVE SKIN
GLOVE'N CARE HELPS LATEX GLOVE WEARERS
As a future nurse, I have always heard Latex gloves this and Latex gloves that. For a person with skin that stays in hives, I was real worried about how this would interfere with my plans of becoming a nurse. Not only do I have sensitive skin but I have Atopic Dermatitis, allergies, and asthma which they say is the trio. Needless to say, this is not good for a future Latex glove wearer.

The reason that I wanted to mention my awful skin history is to establish how very sensitive my skin is and to let you know about a lotion even I am able to use. I have spent the last few days trying out an awesome lotion called Glove’n Care which is a lotion derived directly from The Dead Sea. Oh my gosh, I LOVE this lotion!! Doctors and nurses also use this lotion for dry hands because it does not interfere with the integrity of Latex gloves they have to wear to protect them from bio hazards.

There is much more information on their web site and brochure page but I can tell you first hand that I am soooo relieved that I have a lotion I can use now and for when I am a nurse. I have been very worried that I would have Latex glove woes and this lotion was created just for Latex glove wearers. I now have my Latex worry solved. Natural is so the way to go and the Dead Sea's anomaly in nature is to my and our healthy advantage. More history about the Dead Sea is below as well ordering information for the Glove'n Care lotion and/or soap.

You will see this on their web site and/or when you call them but they also have Glove’n Care dispenser soap as well. Soap or lotion does not have to damage or hurt your hands to be clean. Dry, hurt and/or damaged hands just leaves open places for infections or contagious diseases to enter your body. Protect your hands and your health with this mineral rich lotion!

THE PH MIRACLE FOR WEIGHT LOSS
THE ACID ALKALINE FOOD GUIDE
I am reading a little bit of this and a little bit of that now and looking forward to posting my newly found knowledge. The two books I am reading now are The pH Miracle for Weight Loss and The Acid Alkaline Food Guide. If you have ever seen a picture of acidic blood like is in The pH Miracle for Weight Loss book, it will definitely make you want to eat healthier. I am also reading into cleansing for the thyroid and other internal cleanses so that I can get more energy for all of the things I need to get done with school and everything else. Eating healthier will help my body help itself and be more robust.

HEMI-SYNCH CDS
THE MONROE INSTITUTE
After moving not that long ago, I just recently had a chance to listen to the Hemi-Synch CD I purchased called Brain: Repairs & Maintenance I learned about from a health fair lecture. I absolutely loved that CD. I am going to be ordering more of these very ingenious and calming CDs when I can. My sister’s birthday is next week and I wish I had of gotten her one of these CDs for her birthday. I already ordered her something else for her birthday but will definitely be getting and giving away more of these CDs when I am able to. I was very impressed with the one I got and want more.

Incense Bottles, Potpourri Pot, Supplements for Histamine Reduction, Thyroid Update.

2007-12-17T11:52:00.000-08:00

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!

AROMATHERAPY
BOTTLESCENTS.COM (INCENSE BOTTLES)
This is the most wonderful web site and idea! I wanted to be able to utilize incense for aromatherapy and wonderful smells as well but never liked the incense holders because the ashes went everywhere. After doing a search on the Internet, I came across this awesome supplier that has all kinds of elegantly and affordable tall vases/bottles to choose from where the ashes just stay in the bottom of the bottle as opposed to flicking everywhere. How elegant! There are all kinds of categories to choose from, and you can even personalize your own vase/bottle. There is even a novel option (I so love novel) to purchase a hanging macramé thing so that your bottle can suspend like a plant. Very creative! Of course there is also going to some place like Target or Dollar Tree but I am not sure how they would work with the incense length, etc. Ingenious idea!
http://www.bottlescents.com/

AROMATHERAPY
ELECTRIC LILY POTPOURRI POT (TARGET.COM)
I am constantly looking for aromatherapy resources and novelty things and came across this product on Target.com which is available only online and not in stores. It is called the Aroma Electric Lily Potpourri Pot. There is a solid one as well and it is called the Aroma Electric Solid-Color Potpourri Pot.

As a side note, Dollar Tree has Potpourri for 1.00 if you are on a tight budget like me.

AROMATHERAPY
FEBREEZE ODOR ELIMINATOR PLUG-IN
Going with the aromatherapy theme, this product looks like something I want to test as well. Of course, I absolutely love Febreze products already. It is the Febreze Odor Eliminator and is available in stores and online.

MORE AROMATHERAPY IN GENERAL
AROMATHERAPY PRODUCTS @ TARGET
A lot of times you can find novelty items from merchants that are sold only online, and not in stores. Below is the direct link to the keyword “aromatherapy” from Target. Stores don’t keep everything available with that merchant in stock (and everything in the stores is not online). Shopping online as well just gives you more choices in products.
http://www.target.com/gp/search/601-4337635-1675336?field-keywords=aromatherapy&url=index%3Dtarget&ref=sr_bx_1_1

SUPPLEMENTS FOR ANTIHISTAMINE REDUCTION
Here is another book I will definitely be buying. It is entitled Prescription for Natural Cures by James F. Balch, M.D. and Mark Stengler, N.D. ISBN# 0471490881. Below is a link if you want to order this book online. It looks like it is also available at places like Barnes and Noble, etc.

Prescription for Natural Cures states that using Vitamin C, Quercetin, and Vitamin B12 (sublingual or injected) reduces the effects of histamine and hives. More is in the book but with the Vitamin C it says to take 1,000 mg to 2,000 mg three times daily and to "reduce the dosage if diarrhea occurs." This is not considered medical advice but just as one friend to another.

REFLEXOLOGY & HYPOTHYROIDISM
According to the excellent research done by Barbara and Kevin Kunz, reflexology can potentially heal “Hypothyroidism” as well as “Hyperthyroidism”. The results indicate that after 3-4 sessions, Hyperthyroidism subsides and after a total of 40 sessions, Hypothyroidism might in fact be cured and/or greatly controlled with reflexology. Unfortunately, I have Hypothyroidism but know that when I can afford Reflexology it is going to do nothing but great things for my health.

In the meantime, I ordered myself a Foot Massaging Mat from Massage Warehouse.com and will also be getting a couple Foot Rubz-Foot Massagers soon as well. I am going to use everything I can think of for self-treatments because I firmly believe in Medical/Reflexology and its health benefits.

MY HYPOTHYROIDISM/THYROID UPDATE
The latest news with my get better health mission is that I am on medication now for my Hypothyroidism. Stay tuned as I work towards gaining energy, losing weight, and just feeling better all together.

EATING RIGHT & ORCHESTRATING MEALS
(ALLERGIES, ASTHMA, ALKALINE FOODS, BLOOD TYPE, HYPOTHYROIDISM)
There are so many things to orchestrate when planning meals if you really want to get your unique body healthy such as eating more alkaline, eating right for your blood type, and in my case eating right for people with Hypothyroidism and various food allergies. Currently I am working on making a linear list of the foods that I like that don’t give me asthma, and will go from there.

Happy Thanksgiving, Bamboo Reed Diffusers, etc.

2007-11-21T19:41:00.000-08:00

Happy Thanksgiving!

AROMATHERAPY FLOWER ARRANGEMENT
While researching a way to incorporate aromatherapy into the work place esthetically, I found this wonderful web site. The first link is to the bamboo reeds that absorb the aromatherapy and carry it into the air. The second link is to the carved flowers that can go at the end of the bamboo reeds. The idea is that you have a wonderful way to display and benefit from aromatherapy at work as well. It looks artsy and very contemporary!

I have seen in Target the same concept but with no carved flowers. Their scents are very limited too. I am getting the bamboo diffusers to add to my existing essential oils and to any future aromatherapy I get. There are fragrance bottles as well to choose from but I am thinking you can get a bottle about anywhere and then get some bamboo reeds for that bottle.

Homemade Aromatherapy Dream Pillows

2007-11-19T11:53:00.000-08:00

AROMATHERAPY PILLOWS
Lately, I have been trying to think of a neat ways to incorporate lots of aromatherapy around me. While searching the Internet, I found this creative web site which shows you how to make your own aromatherapy dream pillow. How cozy!

All herbs cannot be used of course, but the instructions below will show you how to make your own aromatherapy pillow out of lavender, silk, and flax seeds. Another idea is to make a keyboard wrist rest for work.
http://www.pvsoap.com/recipe_dream_pillows.htm

LAVENDER AROMATHERAPY
Below are two web sites that list the uses and benefits of Lavender. The second web site gives you Lavender with a $20 purchase. I actually had the opportunity to see a lecture from this supplier in person so I order my supplies from them directly myself. I was extremely impressed with the information they knew in the lecture, and how their aromatherapy benefited me first-hand. Smelling is believing! http://aromaweb.com/essentialoilsgo/lavender.asp

Zinc Lozenges for Cold Season, My Thyroid Lab

2007-11-07T13:49:00.000-08:00

ZINC LOZENGES FOR COLD SEASON
I just learned this pretty recently myself but you can use Zinc Lozenges if you are fighting a cold! Being from NC and in NY or maybe just from the change of seasons, I got a cold two times last month. On my second cold, I used Zinc Lozenges and felt better about immediately and instantaneously. Below is a link of how you can order them.
http://www.invitehealth.com/browse.cfm/4,66.htm

THYROID PEROXIDASE AB
Not that long ago, I got some lab work done to see why I was fatigued more than my old self and just recently got my results back. My Thyroid Peroxidase Ab results came back very high. In a month I am going to get checked again but I found out that not only was my T4 or TSH on the high side, but that my Thyroid Peroxidase was on the really high side. It was to be less than or equal to 35 IU/mL and it was 872.0 just to give you an idea. I am not overweight but definitely want to get my thyroid in fine tune for everything else it manages. Losing 10 pounds would be awesome too.

I was also tested for Lupus which at first came back positive but then later came back negative to a more specific test. My brother has Lupus so I was a little worried I would have it as well. I am very lucky and thankful I don't have Lupus.

It looks like my fatigue problem is that I just need my thyroid managed. I will post on here what I find out in case there is anybody else out there that has not done or been able to get the “Thyroid Peroxidase AB” test. This is the first time I had this specific test done and it looks like the way I feel had a real medical reason. Some of the symptoms are weight gain, fatigue, aches and pains, sensitivity to cold and heat, dry skin, dry hair, anxiety and panic attacks, headaches, dry eyes/blurred vision and poor memory and concentration. These are not all of the symptoms but I am very glad to know that one thing fixed soon can help me feel so much better.

MORE TO COME
Learning that my Thyroid Peroxidase AB lab results were extremely high is a huge step in fixing my energy level and health. Stay tuned for the new and improved healthier me updates! I will be taking nutritional supplements and managing my health both the traditional way as well as the alternative/complementary medicine way.

Humidifiers, Dry Skin, Baking Soda, & Organic Clothing

2007-10-31T19:08:00.000-07:00

Happy Halloween!

HUMIDIFIERS (DRY SKIN, ETC.)
If you are an allergy sufferer, you know all about “dehumidifiers” and air filters to reduce dust mites. What you might not know is that this time of year we might actually need “humidifiers” which put moisture back in the air.

It is colder now, so we are using heaters which can dry out the humidity we need. According to this article, the ideal humidity range for our health is 40% - 60%. Dust mites strive in humidity above 50%. Too low of a humidity is also not good. The web page below is a very interesting read.
http://links.jstor.org/sici?sici=0091-6765(198603)65%3C351%3AIHEORH%3E2.0.CO%3B2-Z

Dry hair, dry skin, sinus problems, static electricity to even certain viruses spread in less than ideal humidity. Below are two great links but you can get your humidifier or dehumidifier anywhere. The linked article above talks more about various viruses and bacteria in relation to humidity.
http://www.natlallergy.com/
http://www.allergybuyersclub.com/

If you don’t want to go the humidifier route, there are also humidity gauges available. They are like $24.99. Knowing about the humidity in your indoors can even help with mold control as well. There is a lot said about a healthy home since we spend so much of our time there. Little things can help our health so much!

BAKING SODA DETERGENT
If you have sensitive skin, you might want to try using Baking Soda Detergent. This particular detergent has really helped me. There are also things you can do like rinsing two times in your wash as well.

BAKING SODA IN BATHS
I also keep actual baking soda at home because I use it for some of my baths. Putting baking soda in my bath water helps my sensitive skin.

ORGANIC CLOTHING
I am going to research this more later but there are things like organic clothing that does not have pesticides used when growing fibers like cotton. Of course, there is still the elastic or latex but just knowing about these products is an awesome alternative if ever need be.

Indentifying Pills Very Easily.

2007-10-10T12:27:00.000-07:00

I am feeling better blog readers. Pain medication is a wonderful thing and I am healing finally. I have a couple very cool things for you for this posting. Pain killers are wonderful things but I hate that feeling of having a numb lip. Great info below though.

NURSE BLOG ONE DAY
When I am a nurse a few years from now, I am also going to start a nurse blog as well but will probably duplicate some things on both blogs as related or at least link to each of them for a paragraph here and there. The idea is that once I am a nurse, the cool things that I tell you as a Certified Medical Reflexologist, I will also tell you as a nurse on my future blog as well. I am getting back to my old self, can you tell? :)

IMPRINTS ON DRUGS
This is the coolest thing ever to a future nurse like myself and especially because sometimes pharmacists make mistakes like if the refilling of prescriptions is not automated. (Some pharmarcies have an automated refilling teller thing).

The below web site though will allow you to look up the number or numbers which are “imprints” on your medications if you want to verify a medication in your medicine vial, see what an old medication is, and/or to check behind your pharmacist(s).

I got to thinking pain managment so what better thing to talk about on my posting than how to identify pain pills. You need to click on "Accept" on the first link. The first is the terms and agreement to use the identifier thing which I like including just for the heck of it since I am posting on a blog. I want to send you to the welcome page first like their web site intended and so you would know about the welcome page of this identifier feature.
http://www.drugs.com/pill_identification.html
http://www.drugs.com/imprints.php

This is not considered medical advice but just as a person that was just recently prescribed three different medications and one being a pain killer to manage. I hate being on pain pills. Natural if you can you know.

ERGONOMICS VIDEO
This second cool thing is something like a PowerPoint presentation in that it talks about the ergonomics of being behind a desk. It is presented by 3M and is like a PowerPoint presentation but it reads it to you and plays automatically. I mentioned foot rests before so thought that this would be a great addition to my previous posting. http://solutions.3m.com/wps/portal/3M/en_US/ergonomics/home/advice/ergonomicseminar/

DIZZLER.COM
What did you think of Dizzler.com? Pretty cool right. Lol I knew you would love that web site.

My Recent Experience with Needing Massive Pain Management

2007-10-08T11:35:00.000-07:00

Hello blog readers! I apologize for just now having a chance to post to my blog again but I have been extremely busy and also just recently went to the doctor, and in some pain myself. Boy do I miss the reflexology my mother gave me. I cannot afford reflexology right now but could have used it very badly recently because I was in a tremendous amount of pain. More below.

MY RECENT EXPERIENCE
After about a week and a half or two weeks (no health insurance quite yet), I finally went to the doctor for what ended up being an infection that was causing me so much unbelievable pain. This was definitely a trial period for me in a manner of speaking.

When you are in pain your whole world stops and for a person like me that likes to make things happen, it was very hard on me. School in pain was no fun either, yet that is another reason I want to become a nurse. There are so many people without health insurance that it is ridiculous and nobody should have to go through what I just went through because they have no health insurance especially in the pain management area.

REFLEXOLOGY WOULD HAVE HELPED ME TREMENDOUSLY
Medical/Reflexology would have helped me tremendously recently. I kept trying to rub my own feet but it is not the same thing. When you are stressed out and in pain, rubbing your own feet is nothing like somebody else letting you relax and rubbing away your pain through your feet. I have first hand experience now in needing Medical/Reflexology but not being able to get it because I could not afford it at the present time. It would have helped me tremendously. $60 can cure so many things. I would have needed the doctor as well for the prescriptions of the antibiotics, but Medical/Reflexology would have helped me so much with all of the pain I was in.

Although Medical/Reflexology does not cure everything, it does take care of a couple infections on the report I have but not the infection I had unfortunately.

The Medical/Reflexology could have helped me with the pain that set me back in all that I want to get accomplished. If you are in pain, you owe it to yourself to get either Reflexology or Medical Reflexology. They are actually two different certifications and methodologies, but both help with pain management. More below on how you can help.

NURSES, NURSES, NURSES!
I should have thought of this before but after getting a call from a nurse that saw my blog online (my blog is cool isn't it . .lol), I thought it would be a great idea to post a blog in attention to nurses that want to help like this nurse does. Alternative and complementary medicine is definitely being accepted more and more and I am glad because I want to do the same thing when I am a nurse. Compassion and care!

There are special requirements to take this certification and I was able to take this class because I am a Pre-Nursing student but do want to let others know in the Raleigh area how they can also look into getting this certification. The more people helped, the better!

Medical Reflexology is a new concept and very much a pioneering form of Reflexology by a pioneering person that brought it to North Carolina. It is a great addition to Reflexology or just alone.

MEDICAL REFLEXOLOGY CERTIFICATION DETAILS FOR NURSES, ETC.
Like I mentioned above, there are special requirements to get this certification but if you want to look into providing Medical Reflexology for your patients for all kinds of things, here is the person you need to know about.

Frankie Mueller
Educator
P.O. Box 403
Siler City, NC 27344
Work: 919-742-2312

Frankie is dedicated into making people feel better that are in pain like she is and is a wonderful and compassionate teacher. Those that know pain first hand can be the most compassionate people to teach pain management whether they are nurses, or somebody like me that is a Pre-Nursing student and a person that also just recently needed Medical Reflexology myself that can identify.

SO MANY MORE POSTINGS TO COME
There are so many more postings to come and things I want to follow up on with my postings.

DIZZLER.COM
I will be talking about cool things like Dizzler.com (which is free) that can also be used for your web site or even as a desktop application (not necessary to be online during sessions. . desktop application feature). What a great option for selecting all kinds of inspirational music for your clients. You can even cater to your clients (separate Dizzler account required for each I am thinking. . they could create for their sessions and you could just play).

Of course there is always the Ipod but when you check out Dizzler.com, you will see that you can look up all kinds of songs for free (completely free in every way) that would really relax, inspire, and be customized to each of your clients. Who wants to hear the same songs over and over and/or buy a lot of CDs especially if money is a concern in starting your business.

If you want to check out my music selection, below is where my Dizzler is for now. You will love it! It is addictive because of the variety of music you can add to your online player or desktop player. My below account will give you an idea of the wide variety of music your clients can select for their healing sessions.

Foot Rests, Widget for your own blog or web site, etc.

2007-09-24T13:22:00.000-07:00

I am in New York now settling in! I am looking forward to checking out what New York has to offer in health care, and posting this information here as I have time in between school and so forth.

FOOT REST FOR ERGONOMICS
After sitting at my desk for hours and hours doing school work, I started thinking about foot rests. Foot rests help with lower back pain, circulation, muscle fatigue, etc. Below is a link on what Froogle.com has in search results. http://www.google.com/products?q=foot+rest

There are some good deals on them but I am sure you can get them anywhere. The idea is just to use a foot rest. This is not considered medical advice but just as a person who is on a quest for little things that make life easier and me feel better.

COMPLETE REFLEXOLOGY FOR LIFE BOOK NOW AVAILABLE
The book Complete Reflexology for Life is now available for ordering! So much to do and so many fun things to learn! As a future 21st century mommy years from now, tools like this book are going to help me naturally help my one day children and anybody else I want to help heal naturally.

As a child I had the colic, and was very sick with asthma so in case my genes years from now give my children asthma and so forth, I will be able to take advantage of what is known now about the natural medical benefits of reflexology.

The licensing requirements are different in New York and not transferable but I still plan to post to my blog as I learn new things that will help me as a one-day nurse.

2007-09-06T15:36:00.000-07:00

ONLINE INTERACTIVE REFLEXOLOGY WIDGETS & MAPS
I am moving literally this weekend to New York but to tide you over in postings, you will find some informative and interactive websites below! The web sites below have interactive Reflexology Widgets & Maps on them. The next time you get Reflexology/Medical Reflexology, you can then know which reflex points should be sore and what they are!

NEW YORK HEALTH EXPOS
I hope to learn even more cool stuff at various health expos in New York that I want to post about on here as well!

Reflexology Routines for Babies to the Elderly.

2007-08-31T12:10:00.000-07:00

MEDICAL BENEFITS OF REFLEXOLOGY REPORT
Because I will be relocating to another area and until I can post more on the medical benefits of reflexology I learned about from a report, thought it would be a good idea to provide you with the web site information to get this information for yourself. This report is a huge .pdf file and once you download it after purchasing it you can do a [Control] F for any and every keyword you want to look up. There are also summaries of the results as well in tables on four pages. This report is from actual proven studies and clinical trials using reflexology to address numerous health problems.

Findings in Research about Safety, Efficacy,
Mechanism of Action and Cost-Effectiveness
of Reflexology (Revised)
by, Barbara and Kevin Kunz
http://www.myreflexologist.com/
footcsc@swcp.com

An example is that there are 57 instances of the word “Diabetes” in this report. I am anxious to apply these findings up north once I get relocated. Imagine worrying about everything you eat. I could not imagine being on that much of a diet. I watch what I eat and average in weight, but the thought of me not being able to have certain foods would be terrible. If something as wonderful as reflexology can help Diabetes, why not give it a try!

COMPLETE REFLEXOLOGY FOR LIFE BOOK
I am very anxious to read a book that is coming out to stay ahead of the curve. The book is called Complete Reflexology for Life. It is not even being sold yet, but you can sign your email up to be notified when it is published, and available. It talks about actual routines for babies through 90 years old. These are the same people that brought us the medical benefits of reflexology report listed above and in my previous postings. I have signed up to be alerted when this book is available and look forward reading it and posting highlights in how this book can help you.

I am so glad to be in health care. I was a secretary for years and years and helping people is so much more rewarding and fulfilling. Sign up though to know about this book. Why get surgery if you don’t have to, why get stitched and cut up when there are simple and pleasurable things like reflexology to prevent and cure lots of things already.

Best posting yet! Aromatherapy & Hemi-Sync® CDs!

2007-08-27T16:07:00.000-07:00

I did not know which of these to list first, and wish I could have listed them horizontally, because I found them so fascinating! I think that both could be so helpful. I love cool things like this.

THE ART OF HEALING
HILDEGARD STARMER
THE MONROE INSTITUTE
HEMI-SYNC® CDS
This was one of my two favorite things at the Body, Mind & Spirit expo the other weekend! Fascinating! You will freak out when you read more on her web site. I have a flip out too of a 8-1/2 brochure with thumbnails of the CDs I can email you if you like. I got this while I was at the expo.

I am so glad to have found a supplier for CDs that address specific things and even uses technology. More about these CDs that use Alpha, Beta, and Theta frequencies is on the web site below. Just to give you an idea how cool these CDs are. . they have diagrams of parts of your brain being turned on and utilized because of the frequencies. I am going to get the concentration one and the pain management one first. One class in school bores me to tears. lol There are even ones for cancer, circulation, ADD/ADHD, and hypertension.
http://hildegardstarmer.com/hemi_sync_products.php

This link will take you to a linear list of what the CDs using this technology can potentially help you with.
http://hildegardstarmer.com/applications.php

NATURAL OPTIONS AROMATHERAPY
GEORGE COX
(PMS, HEADACHES, PAIN, FATIGUE, BURNS, ETC.)
I was so glad that I had a chance to attend this aromatherapy lecture because I learned so much! George Cox gave the lecture, and he really, really knows his stuff! He should because he has been doing it for eleven years. You should see his bio on his web site too. Trust me, you will be impressed by his products, his knowledge, and his web site.
http://www.naturaloptions.us/

I got the chance to smell all kinds of scents and learn about their uses! Smelling is believing I tell you. lol

LIVING ART DVDS UPDATE
I just got an email a few days ago that even more of these cool DVDs are going to be added to the Bed Bath and Beyond permanent display. Every six months they will be adding three new titles. They are also developing another web site (in the works), but it will be here! http://www.livingartdvds.com/

Just think about the people that cannot get out of their house as much as they would like, or how relaxing these DVDs could be. Whoever thought of this concept was an absolute genius.

WORKING MYSELF THROUGH PRE-NURSING SCHOOL
I am working myself through early Pre-Nursing school so I have a real interest in health care and learning. I have done a lot of research, read a lot and always finding great resources out there.

CERTIFIED MEDICAL REFLEXOLOGIST
I am a certified Medical Reflexologist and a Pre-Nursing student. I have over a year experience in providing Medical Reflexology services and years and years in the alternative and complementary office environment. I read a lot and constantly learning new things about health and wellness.

Reflexology Chair out of box and ready to go!

2007-08-22T11:54:00.000-07:00

MOBILE MEDICAL REFLEXOLOGY SERVICES
My nice white mesh reflexology chair is out of the box and ready to bring you Medical Reflexology services right to your house, apartment, office, or retirement home, etc.

THINK ABOUT YOUR PARENTS
What a great gesture to give your parents like a Medical Reflexology session! Whether they are in a nursing home, living with you, or just at home living by themselves, they would appreciate you taking such an interest in their health.

FEELING HEALTHY & GETTING HEALTHY RATES
Because my services are mobile and come to you, I can afford to charge less than somebody that would need to pay office rent. For this reason, you get a lot more. No tip is expected and desired because I should do a good job anyway. I hate the concept of tipping anyway. I should provide a good service just as anybody else should.

1 -1/2 = $50
1 Hour = $40
½ Hour = $25

Taking appointments now for Saturday and Sunday! I will be doing this on a part-time basis in addition to a full-time job so I can take appointments evenings and weekends unless otherwise notified.

GETTING YOUR BODY IN THE HEALING ZONE
Let me know your favorite movie and your favorite music because I want to cater to you as an individual in what might get your body in the healing zone. I believe in inspirational music like Hawaiian music, the Chariot’s of Fire soundtrack, great soundtracks from other inspirational movies like Rocky, to even music from The Monroe Institute that utilizes brain synchronization technology for meditation, etc.

My philosophy is that it is your hour or the time you purchase, so I should make the most out of it for you and your health. . down to even the music! If Hawaiian music will get your body in the healing zone, Hawaiian music it should be. If you favorite movie that inspires/inspired you was a certain movie, then that is the music you should listen to. Of course I am starting from the music collection I have now but what better way to build my future music collection than from what my clients actually want to listen to. Just think of the healing zone you can get your body into when you are fully relaxed, listen to what is comfortable to you, and that maybe gave you great memories and good feelings. I will later be getting The Monroe Institute CD's as well!

HEALTH UNIT COORDINATOR DAY (8/23/07)

Get your feet massaged, and acupressure applied to reflex points with something that is actually good for you. If you have any questions, please ask as well. I know that some might not know what Medical Reflexology is or some of the terminology.

Help your body's healing power. Appointments available.

2007-08-04T17:54:00.000-07:00

There are over 7,200 nerve endings in your feet. What does this mean? This means that at these points, we have the beneficial opportunity by way of Medical/Reflexology, to apply acupressure and massage to get rid of the little crystals that form in our feet. These crystals (also called grits) at the nerve endings stop our body's own awesome potential healing power.

Medical/Reflexology helps with things like endorphin release (natural pain killer), circulation (ask me about Diabetes), nerve supply, energy balance, relaxation (stress causes so many diseases), and so much more. Just ask how I can help you. The number to make an appointment is 919-286-7202.

Ta da. . trumpet call! Office space announcement!

2007-08-01T17:35:00.000-07:00

TA DA! TRUMPET CALL. . ANNOUNCING OFFICE SPACE!
I wish I had a trumpet sound for this. lol I am in a space now near Duke University's East Campus and only five miles from RTP.

Susan, the Office Manager, will be taking my appointments, so please use the phone number and email address below to help synchronize things through the office. You can definitely always call me too for questions, but to make things less confusing on my calendar, it is best if you call Susan at least first. She will be clustering appointments for me eventually, and it just makes things easier if you go through the office and her for efficiency purposes.

Office: (919) 286-7202

August Health Observations.

2007-07-30T13:14:00.000-07:00

NATIONAL MINORITY DONOR AWARENESS DAY (8/1/07)
August 1 is National Minority Donor Awareness Day. The below web site has great information. It is all about compatibility in donors (of course I will learn about all of that later). This particular link is a great read for this awareness day because it also talks about how to help.

The web site below goes to Minority Nurse and there are other articles as well from other sources. This particular web site though seemed to have good information on how to get involved, and explained why “minority” donor awareness is so important for compatibility in organs, etc.
http://www.minoritynurse.com/vitalsigns/aug05-2.html

CHILDREN’S EYE HEALTH & SAFETY MONTH (8/1/07 – 8/31/07)
The month of August is Children’s Eye Health & Safety Month. The below web site has a lot of great information including 1-800 numbers and an email address. This is not considered medical advice, but just as a person that cares about the eye health of children.

I remember being in school and overhearing a geometry teacher mention that one of her students was squinting and how impressed I was that she noticed that. I guess the point is that eye check-ups are one of those little things to think about too. This web site goes to Prevent Blindness America.
http://www.preventblindness.org/news/observe.html

CATARACT AWARENESS MONTH (8/1/07 – 8/31/07)
Speaking of eyes. The month of August is also Cataract Awareness Month. The same web site as above also has contact information for the Cataract Awareness Month. I don’t post every single observation day on my blog, but do like to highlight the main ones if at all possible. The web site for this observation goes to Prevent Blindness America.
http://www.preventblindness.org/news/observe.html

NATIONAL IMMUNIZATION AWARENESS MONTH (8/1/07 – 8/31/07)
The month of August is National Immunization Awareness Month. More can be found (including immunization schedules) on the following web site:
http://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/events/niam/default.htm

The web site goes to the Center of Disease Control & Prevention which is through the Department of Health & Human Services.

Here is another link but about the Vaccines for Children (VFC) Program.
http://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/programs/vfc/parents/default.htm

This is not considered medical advice but rather just pointing out the observation day and neat resources.

FREE OR LOW COST HEALTH CARE SERVICES
The web site below will take you to the Bureau of Primary Health Care. You can search for free or low cost health care services on this web site for you and/or your children if need be.
http://ask.hrsa.gov/pc/

MEDIC ALERT MONTH (8/1/07 – 8/31/07)
I am verifying this information but I believe August is also Medic Alert Month. It is on the Internet, but not on some resources I like to verify it against.

The link below will take you to the MedicAlert® web site. All kinds of things could be added to a MedicAlert® bracelet or necklace, etc. If you are allergic to anything, including medications, and of course if you are Diabetic, or have heart problems, etc. I am only a certified Medical Reflexologist of course, but do like to post things I think might remind you to think about, because I also enjoy organizing as a hobby.
http://www.medicalert.org/home/Homegradient.aspx

MORE TO COME
So much more info is yet to come, on great products for healthier and less acidic water, more cool products, and of course, postings about the medical benefits of Reflexology/Medical Reflexology.

Have a great week!

Update! Seeking space to offer Medical Reflexology services!

2007-07-02T07:48:00.000-07:00

CERTIFIED MEDICAL REFLEXOLOGIST SEEKING SPACE
I just got confirmation today of what I had already been told and read. I am exempt from having a business license because I am only Medical Reflexology. With having said that, I am looking for a space that has a good ratio, a good rent rate and just a great place to offer my Medical Reflexology services because I am just starting out. If you have a place or know of a place, please definitely contact me!

INDEPENDENCE DAY
Without sounding too much like a Mother Hen, I hope you have a great and safe July 4th! Here is an interesting link that talks about the United States and her Independence Day as well as other countries as well! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Independence_day

God bless America. . .the land of the free! We live in such a great country!

Stay tuned though because I should be in a space soon. It is definitely hard just starting out financially, but I enjoy a challenge anyway.

Golf Balls at Dollar Tree for a $1.00!

2007-06-19T19:12:00.000-07:00

GOLF BALLS IN FRONT OF MY COMPUTER
Have you had a chance to get a set of golf balls to roll under your feet? While sitting in my computer chair, I am surprised by how tender under my feet are when I first start to roll the golf balls under my feet. I love using the golf balls every day. It is very addictive and very relaxing. I have found that I sleep a deeper sleep now that I roll the golf balls under my arches and under my feet everyday. I scrunch my toes with them too as well.

GOLF BALLS AT DOLLAR TREE
Dollar Tree is a great and neat place. They have in stock now two golf balls for $1.00. It is a pack of two golf balls, and that is of course one golf ball for each foot. I have had my golf balls for about a week now and just love rolling them with my feet while I am at the computer.

COMING UP

Lots of neat web sites
More neat articles
The latest with my space of where I will be settling in.

Great heel articles and seeking space this week.

2007-06-18T20:54:00.000-07:00

9TH STREET ACTIVE FEET
This information is worth repeating because you can get customized tennis shoes for your medical condition here. 9th Street Active Feet returned my phone call because I left them a voicemail after hours. I found out about their place from a pamphlet.

His voicemail said that they do leg discrepancies (paraphrasing here) or something like that all of the time, and 7 days a week. He was very nice in the voicemail. I have been very busy and did not have a chance to return his call but, I will be visiting there once I get some clients coming in.

Their hours are from 10:00 AM – 7:00 PM, 7 days a week. You can find out even more information by visiting their web site or by visiting them in person of course! Their address is 725 Iredell Street, Durham, NC. Their phone number is 919-286-5101 and their web site is http://www.9thstactivefeetinc.com/index.htm

NATIONAL NURSING ASSISTANT’S WEEK (6/14/07 – 6/21/07)
It is still National Nursing Assistant’s Week so don’t forget about CNAs this week!

HEEL SPURS
Below are links to great articles, visuals, and some novelty products.
http://orthopedics.about.com/cs/generalinfo2/a/heelspur_2.htm?terms=heel+spur
http://www.healthscout.com/ency/68/224/main.html
http://heelspurs.com/index.html
http://heelspurs.com/cgi-bin/c/store/commerce.cgi

FDA MEDICAL DEVICE APPROVALS, ETC.
Because I like collecting web sites, and will be in the Pre-Nursing program, I like reading about the approvals and recalls of medical devices. As one friend to another, I would like to mention that the web site below will allow you to subscribe for email updates. The reason I am mentioning this is because a shock wave therapy is now approved for treating Plantar Fasciitis.
http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/index.html

HEEL SHOCK ABSORBERS
Below is the same link as for the heel spurs link above but wanted to separate the two for other reasons you might think about getting heel shock absorbers.
http://heelspurs.com/cgi-bin/c/store/commerce.cgi

GOLF BALLS USED DURING CHILD BIRTH FOR REFLEXOLOGY
Here is one great article on the use of golf balls for reflexology during labor. I have others that I will be posting on here as well. I read the articles before I post them and haven't had a chance to read the other articles completely yet. http://www.fourweeksmag.com/youtoolsfeet.htm

CERTIFIED MEDICAL REFLEXOLOGIST
I am certified in Medical Reflexology and currently looking for a space to offer my services.

CERTIFIED MEDICAL REFLEXOLOGIST SEEKING SPACE
I am looking for a space like in a doctor's office, hospital, retirement home, medical spa, or a great environment that would have potential traffic for my Medical Reflexology services. I will also be a Pre-Nursing student! My goal is to have 15-25 clients per week. I can take all the appointments that want Medical Reflexology but want a place where there will be at least a minimum of 15 clients per week if at all possible. I can sit there and read/study so I am not worried about going back and forth if I get a call for a client. I plan on studying in between clients and will be aggressively marketing once I get settled in a space to help as well.

Tons of fun and interesting information!

2007-06-16T19:02:00.000-07:00

DANCING MOON VISIT!
Where do I begin? lol Everybody will love this place. As you walk in, it is like an enchanting forest. You will think you just stepped in a mystical place or storybook fairy tale. There is soul quenching music playing over the speakers, wind chimes, aromatherapy (Loving Scents), and tons of other great products from angelic beings to even Egyptian figurines. There is even a pretty good eclectic music selection in case you thought you had to order this kind of music online. They already have it to choose from, right there in their store.

They offer various classes too. Below is a link to their web site. http://dancingmoonraleigh.com/.

Believe me that, as soon as I get some clients and money coming in, I will be going back there! Really neat fantasy type place. They are located at 1840 Wake Forest Road. Below is a link to detailed directions there.
http://dancingmoonraleigh.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=15&Itemid=45

THE HEALTHY BACK STORE VISIT!
Another neat place! I never went into this store before because I did not have a need but now that I am a certified Medical Reflexologist, thought it would be important to know about healthy backs as well. Your feet, and your back all have to do with alignment.

They have fancy back recliners, massage devices, inversion contraptions, lumbar support products, and even an over the shoulder product for carrying things with the back in mind.

Last but not least, they have business cards of nearby massage therapists but of course I recommend going to New Beginnings off of Six Forks Road. Here is a link to the The Healthy Back Store web site in case you want to look online too at their products. http://www.healthyback.com/

9TH STREET ACTIVE FEET!
While at The Healthy Back Store, I picked up some business cards and a couple brochures I thought would be good to read and learn from. One of these brochures that really stood out was on the Proper Shoe Selection. The company that left this awesome informative brochure was called 9th St. Active Feet, Inc. They are located at 725 Iredell Street, Durham, NC. Their phone number is 919-286-5101. Here is their web site as well!http://www.9thstactivefeetinc.com/index.htm

I left 9th Street Active Feet a voicemail because I called them after hours, but this place does custom fit shoes! Their brochure even talked about "The Overpronator" (feet roll inward), and "The Oversupinator" (lack of normal inward rolling of feet). I am really curious if they can customize a shoe for me without a prescription. What a great idea! They do customized tennis shoes for athletes and/or people with medical problems, etc.

LIVING ART DVDS (BED BATH AND BEYOND)
There is more below in the Bed Bath and Beyond section but, you must see these DVDs! Bed Bath and Beyond has DVDs of nature scenes. Talk about relaxing! The distributor is Mood Distributors, Inc. in case they either run out of these or you want to buy them later when they are no longer on display, etc.

Here is the link to the distributor web site just to have as well. Too cool!
http://www.mooddistributors.com/

BED BATH AND BEYOND
Lots of neat products! My absolute favorite thing there though was the DVD collection of Living Art that I talked about above. They had DVDs of a fireplace going, an aquarium, a couple beach ones, one with animals, and even one of a waterfall in a forest. I got one for my father and it was of birds on a beach. It was called Beach Birds. I am going to go back there and get more for me later too. Loved these!!

FEET WARMERS WITH AROMATHERAPY (BED BATH AND BEYOND)
Another category of products you might love and appreciate for its functionality at Bed Bath and Beyond are their feet warmers with aromatherapy. They have a boot like version and another version as well. How cozy. Oh, you can even microwave at least one version of them for heat and aromatherapy. Talk about pampering your feet. lol

SALT LAMPS
These are so neat and on my wish list. Salt lamps help you breathe easier, natural ionizers, help you sleep, and are good at “protecting you from harmful electromagnetic radiation given off by modern conveniences such as cell phones and computers” as well.

A web site of one of the suppliers of salt lamps is below. I just did a search on salt lamps and this was the first one in the results, and they looked like they had a great selection. Wherever you get the salt lamps, I think it would be something neat to have and I will be getting one for myself as well sometime in the future too.
http://www.natural-salt-lamps.com/saltcrystallamps.html

GOLF BALLS FOR REFLEXOLOGY
Here is a great article about using golf balls for reflexology on the hands for things like headaches, allergy headaches, digestion problems, and of course, relaxation. Golf balls can even be used during childbirth. More about this later.
http://www.reflexology-research.com/golfball.html

GOLF BALLS FOR PLANTAR FASCIITIS
Golf balls are also great for getting blood flow to the arches and to help relieve Plantar Fasciitis pain. More articles tomorrow on the various uses of golf balls in Reflexology though. I want to spend more than one day's posting talking about their uses because there are so many.

Speaking of Plantar Fasciitis. You might also want to check out FootSmart.com because they have products especially for Plantar Fasciitis. There are 92 products and the link above will take your right to the search results for Plantar Fasciitis.

NEGATIVE HEEL TECHNOLOGY (SMARTFOOT.COM)
I get these catalogs because my mother has Plantar Fasciitis and because of course, I am a Medical Reflexologist. I want to know all I can about taking are of the feet. On page 61 of the Summer 07 catalog is something they call Negative Heel ® technology. It also labels them Earth® shoes. The catalog states: “Earth® shoes help correct posture, alleviating back pain, muscle aches and joint problems. . .” Since I love knowing about products that make peoples lives better, I thought I would share this information with you.

Here is a direct link to this product. Earth® Negative Heel ® Technology

There might be six other products with the same technology as well but thought this would at least give you a start because this is the one that was showcased in the catalog.

COMING UP

More articles about the benefits of golf balls.
Heel shock absorbers information

GOLF BALLS FOR FEET
Golf balls are great for reflexology on your hands or feet! I sit at my computer and just roll the golf balls under my feet. I will post some links to articles about this tomorrow though.

REALLY STYLISH HOT WATER BOTTLES
(I.E. PMS, ACHES & PAINS, ARTHRITIS, ETC.)

I am mentioning this just so that I am providing you as many options as possible.

CONTINUATION OF MY UNEVEN LEGS RESEARCH
As I mentioned on a previous posting, one of my legs is slightly longer than the other so I felt that I should share this information in case anybody else out there is having the same problem.

Aromatherapy Certification Home Study Course, etc.!

2007-06-13T13:25:00.000-07:00

YOU HAVE TO GO HERE BELIEVE ME! (NEW BEGINNINGS MASSAGE)
This place has such a great atmosphere and feel. Pleasant smells, pleasant environment, beautifully decorated, warm and inviting, and very soul/spirit friendly. The aura of New Beginnings massage which is in the Georgetown’s Office Condominiums off of Six Forks Road, was absolutely magnificent. The inside was done with boutique-like decorating of angels and art, and where you absolutely must go for a massage. They are located at 6612 Six Forks Road, Suite 204 and in the Georgetowne Office Condominiums. There web site is nbmassage.com. This place is the top of the line in every way possible. I am planning on going to her once I get my business going because I loved the ambiance there so much.

Rita, who is a LMBT (licensed bodywork and massage therapist) was also my first paying client today but the treat was all mine because it was so peaceful there. It also probably helps that she is on the second floor. Okay, can you tell I loved this place? lol If you want somebody that knows about a lot of different things, you owe it to yourself to go there because not only is she very knowledgeable, but it is also a very warm environment as opposed to a cold spa where you are just a number. She is so educationally vested in her practice that you will be really getting a treat going there. Place to be and place to go kind of thing.

AROMATHERAPY CERTIFICATION (HOME STUDY COURSE)
Because I am just starting out, I cannot afford to take this elite course but if I get 5 people to take this course, I can take this class for free. It is through the Aroma Science Institute which is based out of California by a Dr. Poran. She has a Ph.D. in Chemical Ecology, Univ. of California, MS in Immunology and BS in Horticulture (flowers). As you can see, this course is not only aromatherapy based but science based and from a person with a doctorate. The web site addresses are as follows: http://aromascience.net/ (main web page)
http://aromascience.net/courses/skincare.html (aromatherapy home course)
Her email address is DrPoran@aromascience.net.

Oh, by the way, “in June 2002 she co-organized the first international aromatherapy Expo and Conference on the East Coast. Dr. Poran is a popular speaker and teaches worldwide.” (Aromascience.net) The East Coast expo was actually here! Can we say pioneer?! Here is a link to the expo that took place early this month here! http://www.aromascience.net/expo/public.html

As you can see, a certification in aromatherapy from her would definitely be something to brag about for your practice. Massage therapists get 15 NCBTMB continuing education credits for this course and if I get five people to take it, I can get a certification in this earlier instead of waiting until I have the finances to take it!

If you sign up for this course, please let me know so I can keep track of my count to 5. My email address is medicalreflexology@gmail.com.

NATIONAL CAREER NURSING ASSISTANT'S DAY (6/14/07)
NATIONAL NURSING ASSISTANT'S WEEK (6/14/07 - 6/21/07)
CNAs work very hard. Don't forget that tomorrow is National Career Nursing Assistant's Day. It is actually also National Nursing Assistant's Week as well until 6/21/07.

AROMATHERAPY OILS (DANCINGMOONRALEIGH.COM)
There is a place called Dancing Moon right here in Raleigh that also sells oils like Lovings Scents! Dancing Moon is located at 1840 Wake Forest Road. I am going to visit there as soon as I get a chance! Like totally groovy. Their web site is http://dancingmoonraleigh.com/.

AROMATHERAPY CLASSES (LOVINGSCENTS.COM)
Besides letting me know about Dancing Moon, Loving Scents also emailed me, to let me know, that they come to Raleigh to teach their classes as well! Good news, good news. More about this in my future postings!

SPACE QUEST (ACADEMY STREET CHIROPRACTIC!)
Even though Academy Street Chiropractic is in a small cozy house on the corner, do not let the outside fool you. Be prepared to be educated and expect only the best. As you sit in the lobby area, there is a huge poster with pictures of the corresponding areas of the spine to the organs that they are associated with. You will also find in the lobby lots of pamphlets about alignment, your nervous system, and health. Of course, my favorite is the fact that they display foot levelers! They are located at 8511 Chapel Hill Road in Cary. You can call to make an appointment by calling them at 919-461-3933. They are near City Hall. Below is a link to a page on their web site with the chart that is on their wall. I appreciate visuals and education, and here there are not just one or two pamphlets, but many there. Did I mention that they have foot levelers on display too? lol

AROMATHERAPY QUEST
I went to the mall today and went to Bath and Body Works, The Body Shop, Crabtree & Evelyn, and a center stand called something like All Natural. Crabtree & Evelyn was not very friendly and was taking personal calls. The Body Shop was pretty cool in that the person from corporate was actually there. Although the things at The Body Shop were not for massage per say, it reminded me that I need to get a diffuser. The best place by far of where I went today was Bath and Body Works. The girl there was very friendly, and there, they do have “massage oil”. In other words, they have more than just oils, scents or lotions. All Natural's products were nice and for things like exfoliation, etc. I wanted to look at all of the shops I could and just gave them a quick look.

EUCALYPTUS SPEARMINT AROMATHERAPY PLUG FOR STRESS
This was so cool! I got a plug-in type thing (looks elegant and not grocery-store like), with the Eucalyptus Spearmint scent. This specific scent is for stress relief. It plugs right into an outlet just like the others do but with aromatherapy and stress relief in mind.

AROMATHERAPY (LOVINGSCENTS.com)
There is a place in the Triad area called Loving Scents that I will talk more about later but their web site is LovingScents.com.

OFF THE SUBJECT BUT INTERESTING - VARIATIONS OF LEG LENGTH
As one friend to another, I would like to mention something I wish I knew about years ago. One of my legs is slightly longer than the other and if my theory is correct, this has been causing me to be out of alignment and a few problems that go along with that. More about this in future postings as well.

SPACE APPOINTMENT TOMORROW
I am excited about tomorrow because I will be looking at a space that I think would be a great place to offer my Medical Reflexology services. I got a lot of responses to my inquiries and advertisements I put up, looking for space, but the one tomorrow sounds like a really good match. Stay tuned!

Aromatherapy Educational Quest!

2007-06-10T18:53:00.000-07:00

AROMATHERAPY QUEST
Apparently, Aroma Therapy is not on Glenwood Avenue any more. I was hoping that today I could talk about my experience in visiting a business or two dedicated to just aromatherapy but will have to save that to another day’s post.

I also tried calling Aromatherapy Center but the phone number said that it was not taking calls so I am not sure if it is out of business or moved because I am not from this area. I have not given up on my aromatherapy quest though yet. More tomorrow!

AROMATHERAPY WEB SITE
I hope you found the previous posting to the aromatherapy web page for stress as interesting as I did. Here is the link again just because I think it is such a great resource!

Aromatherapy for a stressful work environment?

2007-06-09T18:43:00.000-07:00

LAST DAY OF NATIONAL HEADACHE AWARENESS WEEK
Today is the last day of National Headache Awareness Week. Hey, it is Saturday so you probably don’t have a headache. lol

SPEAKING OF WORK AND HEADACHES (AROMATHERAPY)
Have you tried aromatherapy at work? A subtle scent might do the trick. I am really looking forward to taking aromatherapy classes just because there is so much to what we smell. This might be helpful though if you are in a stressful work environment.

Tomorrow I will also be going to an aromatherapy supplier and doing more research. In the meantime, below is a very neat web site that lists the type of stress and the aromatherapy for it. I just did a search for aromatherapy and this web site came up.
http://www.aromaweb.com/essentialoils/emotional.asp

CPR/FIRST AID CERTIFIED
Yippee! I am CPR/First Aid certified now. I took that class because I felt it was important to take because I will be a mother one day, and also because it will be a requirement for the Pre-Nursing program. There is another Father's Day gift idea for you. CPR/First Aid classes. Of course, a fishing rod is another idea too. :)

CHIRO CLASSES
Did you know that some chiropractic offices offer free classes you can attend? I am planning on taking all of the classes that I can for educational purposes.

CERTIFIED MEDICAL REFLEXOLOGIST
I am a certified Medical Reflexologist in Raleigh, NC and would love to help your aching feet feel better. I am also actively looking for a great space to offer my Medical Reflexology services. Have a great weekend!

Happy Friday! I have some fun information today!

NEXT WEEK IS NATIONAL MEN’S HEALTH WEEK
Next week is National Men’s Health week. Buy your loved one a gift certificate for Medical Reflexology for no other reason than that. Better yet, what a great Father’s Day present!

FATHER’S DAY
June 17 is Father’s Day which is just around the corner. Show you care about your father’s health by giving him a gift certificate for Medical Reflexology and/or a massage. I am only a Medical Reflexologist but, the idea here is to give the gift health!

RED CROSS PRODUCTS
This Saturday I will be taking CPR/First Aid so, I have had Red Cross on the brain. I subscribe to their emails anyway, but in this particular email, there are some cool products you might want to check out. Too cool.
https://www.redcrossstore.org/dp.aspx?pgid=-1

RED CROSS CLASSES
Below is the web site to the Triangle Area Chapter of the American Red Cross. There is a red button on the left-hand side for the CPR/First Aid classes. You can also just call them at 919-231-1602, ext. 412. http://www.trianglearc.org/ (Main Web Site)

UNITED HOLISTIC PRACTITIONERS
This web site is awesome and a membership to their organization would definitely be beneficial. http://www.unitedhpa.org/

You can become an affiliate member and really reap the benefits from this pioneering organization in that you will also be able to have your own web page, and be listed in their directory. An online presence is where it is at.

Peppermint Oil for your headaches. Medical Reflexology for your stress & headaches.

2007-06-07T15:14:00.000-07:00

One more day and it is the weekend!

PEPPERMINT OIL FOR YOUR HEADACHES
I want to talk more about headaches because so many suffer from stress headaches and because it is still National Headache’s Awareness week.

Peppermint oil is beneficial for headaches and numerous other ailments. “Applying peppermint oil in diluted form on the forehead is known to remove headache.” (Organicfacts.net)

I am not certified in aromatherapy yet, but believe me, it is on my to-do list. lol

Below though are some great articles about the numerous benefits of Peppermint including getting rid of a headache.

IONIC CLEANSE® AT THE SPA OF HEALING ARTS (9203 Baileywick Rd., #101)
Yesterday I was talking about acidic & alkaline. There is a spa here in Raleigh that takes this to the next level. The Spa of Healing Arts is very ahead of the game in that they have a wonderful ionCleanse® foot bath. In the words of the brochure, "millions of ions enter your body and begin to neutralize these tissue acid wastes"! (ionCleanse Pamphlet) You should see the all of the gunk that comes out in the picture they have on this brochure!

The Spa of Healings Arts is located at 9203 Baileywick Rd., #101, in Raleigh, NC across from the YMCA. To make an appointment, their number is 919-518-1495. They are off of Strickland Rd. near Lowe's Food and across from the YMCA.

SEEKING SPACE IN A PAIN MANAGEMENT SETTING, SPA, ETC.
I am looking for an office so I can get my business started. I am hoping to find a place close to where I live that is on the Glenwood Avenue side, or near RTP. I am also open to other areas as well. I am taking this week, and next week to look at different places. If you have a great space for me with a lot of potential for traffic for Medical Reflexology alone, please definitely contact me. I have this certification and ready to use it. lol

Links and more links!

2007-06-06T19:53:00.000-07:00

Because I had a hard time thinking of a good topic to talk about today, I thought I would just post some of the great web sites I have compiled that you might find interesting here. Remember some of my background is in IT as well, so I am wearing the "IT" hat in this instance some.

I am no where near becoming a nurse yet, but did want to provide you with some web sites I know about as one friend to another.

WANT TO LOOK UP A DIETARY SUPPLEMENT? IBIDS
This link is to the National Institutes of Health, Office of Dietary Supplements USDA Agricultural Research Service, National Agricultural Library's web site. It is the IBIDS, or International Bibliographic Information of Dietary Supplements. You can look up all sorts of dietary supplements there. More than you want to know really. lol
http://grande.nal.usda.gov/ibids/index.php

ANIMATIONS OF 240+ DISEASES
This link you will need at least DSL to view. With dial-up, the animations get stuck, and you will not be able to see the complete animation.
http://health.discovery.com/tools/blausen/blausen.html?click=dhc_leftnav&clik=health_leftnav

DRUG INTERACTION CHECKER
Here you choose the medications you are on and then it will tell you the interactions between the medications.
http://health.discovery.com/webapps/drugchecker.do?&jspLetter=A&checkInteraction=false

PH TESTS (ALKALINE AS OPPOSED TO ACIDIC)
Also as one friend to another, I would like to talk about pH strips. The health of your body can definitely be affected if your body is too acidic. Cancer can even be formed in an acidic body. The first link is more information on a healthy alkaline body as opposed to an unhealthy acidic body. The second link is more information on the product itself.
http://www.asktheherbalist.net/ph-balance.php

Below is another supplier of the pH strips (Best Lab Deals).

Health Care Management, Speaking of National Headache Awareness Week

2007-06-05T20:16:00.000-07:00

INDIVIDUAL HEALTH CARE MANAGEMENT
Because I also enjoy organizing, I want to make use of this blog by sharing some thoughts and ideas I have on making people’s lives easier in the area of health care.

MEDICALERT.ORG
One example of organizing would be a MedicAlert bracelet or necklace. Because I will be taking a CPR/First Aid class this week, I have emergency preparedness on the mind. If you are allergic to any medications, this could also be something indicated on your bracelet or necklace.

I am only a Medical Reflexologist but because I will be taking more Pre-Nursing classes, I think from that side of the brain as well. http://www.medicalert.org/home/Homegradient.aspx

SPEAKING OF NATIONAL HEADACHE AWARENESS WEEK
Because 6/3/07 – 6/9/07 is National Headache Awareness Week, I thought it might be a neat idea to provide you with a couple web sites. One is to the The National Migraine Association’s web site and the other is to the National Headache Foundation's web site.
http://migraines.org/
http://www.headaches.org/

MEDICAL REFLEXOLOGY SERVICES
Of course, if you would want or need Medical Reflexology services, please definitely feel free to get in contact with me by way of my contact information below.

Have a great day today!

National Headache Awareness Week (6/3/07 - 6/9/07)

2007-06-04T07:33:00.000-07:00

How are you feeling today?

NATIONAL HEADACHE AWARENESS WEEK (6/3/07 - 6/9/07)
I will also be posting even more great web sites of information on a daily basis but today I would like to mention that it is National Headache Awareness Week.

COMPILED A LOT OF HEALTH RESOURCES
Over the last year or so, I have compiled a lot of health resources because of my interest in health care and will be integrating this with my daily posts.

BENEFITS OF MEDICAL REFLEXOLOGY
Of course, I will also be talking about what I have seen, and what kinds of benefits my clients have after I give them Medical Reflexology.

Have a great day!

CERTIFIED IN MEDICAL REFLEXOLOGY
I have over four years experience in the Complementary Medicine environment as an Office Manager and have just recently become certified in Medical Reflexology. My background is actually in IT and as an Executive Assistant but I am very glad to be in the health care field now as a certified Medical Reflexologist.

PRE-NURSING STUDENT
Last but not least, I will also be attending Pre-Nursing classes so as you can see, health care is something of great interest to me.

LOOKING FOR A SPACE
At this time I am looking for a space to offer my Medical Reflexology services.

PROACTIVE & PROFESSIONAL TREATMENT OF CLIENTS
Because of my administrative background, I will be using things like PowerPoint presentations for potential clients, my Palm Pilot, sending out my vCard, and welcome emails. I will also be using programs like Outlook (and then eventually ACT) for contact management, and just knowing about tons of health resources I have compiled, etc.

If you have any questions, I will be glad to answer them as well.
