Hi, Marry from NYC here. I’m interested in getting EMSELLA treatments to help with my pelvic floor muscle strength and urinary incontinence. Still, I’m concerned about whether there are any side effects associated with the treatment. I’ve had negative experiences with other medical treatments, so I want to ensure that EMSELLA won’t cause discomfort or complications. Can you tell me if there are any common side effects or risks associated with EMSELLA treatments, and if so, how serious they are?   [End]

Are massages really good for you? Why or why not? Blood flow is key to the health of any cell. When a muscle along with the surrounding tissue is lubricated and loose, the fibers are primed for flexibility and strength training. When a joint is relieved of muscle tension it can stay properly aligned. These are the main physical benefits of massage therapy. If someone has an injury or disease that increases blood clots, a systemic swelling condition like rheumatoid arthritis, or arterial plaque build-up; the extra blood flow does much more harm than good so massage should b ...

For internal scar tissue, I am not sure... I though serrapeptase would be the answer, but other replies say not so... for external scar tissue, check out a product called biosil.

I have been taking 120,000 serrapeptase, quite a high dose, for quite a long time, twice daily and it has not had any noticeable effect on a scar on my face. I have upped the dosage from 80,000iu which I was using previously for quite some time and nattokinase before that. I take these for other reasons and not specifically for the scar. That is why I suggested using DMSO and using serrapeptase/nattokinase type enzymes topically. Adding vitamin c and collagen amino acids should enhance the effect and promote rebuilding.   [End]

Lugols 5% liquid iodine is the gold standard for removing scar tissue, or lesions. I removed a terrible looking skin lesion with iodine, and fresh new skin was the result.

Serrapeptase, Nattokinase and Lumbrokinase might be helpful but not really directed enough when taken orally. Using DMSO on the skin would be helpful but needs to be handled carefully because it is a solvent which causes anything on the skin to enter into the skin. That includes bacteria and anything else on the skin. Therefore the skin would need to be cleaned thoroughly and the area sterilized before using DMSO. Do not use a finger to apply! Use some other implement such as the handle of a sterilized spoon or something like that. Combining DMSO with the previously mentioned enzymes might ...

Just a little helpful advice for the injury prone out there (like myself). As much as we all love heat treatments such as warm baths ( i love love love them), hot water bottles, etc. they won’t actually help heal any soft tissue damage you may have (ie. torn tendon, torn ligament, pulled muscle, etc.). Heat does relax the muscles; however, in order to heal, heat must be promoted from below the dermal layer. Our bodies work really hard to maintain a constant internal temperature. Picture for instance being outside in +30C or -30C temperatures, you will feel cold or hot on the surface, bu ...

Dear All,  After doing some research on fasting and exercise the understanding is that while fasting we should only fast. Still, I feel massage or related light activity might help. But the following fact is not supporting my view: While fasting our body diverts all the energy to heal. If any physical activity is involved, the healing process will be interrupted as muscle is used and consumes energy, and more muscle may be burned instead of fat. Contemplating further on the healing process: If the healing is happening, and for few people it takes two to t ...

Infant Massage By  Jane Sheppard | Published  07/18/2004 The Benefits and Joys of Infant Massage Some of the most precious memories I had as a new mother were giving my baby massages. I recall cradling my daughter in my lap while leaning back in my rocking chair with soft, melodic music playing in the background, and gently massaging her soft skin. While massaging her, I could feel her entire body relax as I felt my own body and spirit fall into a quiet peace, letting my tension and stress disappear. Benefits for Baby Touch is a primal need ...

Baby massage has many great benefits, including sense of wellbeing and helping with illnesses/afflictions. It has even shown, in older children, to positively benefit conditions like asthma and ADHD. Here some basic instruction on baby massage http://www.makewayforbaby.com/massages.htm An interesting short excerpt about ayurvedic baby massage http://www.sanatansociety.org/ayurvedic_massage/ayurvedic_baby_massage.htm (Incidentally, it mentions that at one month old you may begin using hands for massage (they use a soft dough ball from newborn to that time) A good ...

My experience w/ putting oil on wounds, (I’ve only used vitamin E oil), is that it tends to make the wound scar even worse. (I scar pretty badly b/c of the melanin in my my olive skin.)I’d use honey instead. But that is just me. If your son is very fair skinned, the results of the vit. E treatment could be different.   [End]

Do not massage until cut and deeper tissue is healed, massaging could irritate the tender tissue and cause the hematoma (blood trapped in body tissue)to enlarge. The body will break it down naturally and gradually so the body can dispose of it A light coat of Vitamin-E is enough. Vitamin-E penetrates several dermal layers naturally to speed healing and prevent the area from drying up and forming scar tussue.   [End]

My 4yo cut his chin 9 days ago. It was pretty deep and required three stitches. I took the stitches out on day 4 and did some things, (CS, coconut oil, Vit. E, cayenne), that were suggested to reduce scarring. Well, three days after removing the stitches the cut opened in the center and bled pretty much for a week old cut. I think the bandaid I put on his chin to hold the Vit E in and to keep the cut from rubbing open during his sleep, was too tight and loosened the cut. Tonight I put some more Vit E on it and noticed that the cut is hard underneath. Should I massage the cut to ...

Funny title. It got my attention. Not having seen the show, but keying in on ”body work” and ”she was moved” I thought of Feldenkrais right away. Could this be it? Here’s a description taken from a glossary of massage therapy site. ”FELDENKRAIS METHOD Developed by Russian-born Israeli educator Moshe Feldenkrais, this method establishes new connections between the brain and body through movement re-education. One of two formats of instruction is used: Awareness through movement and functional integration. In the one-on-one functional integration session, a teacher uses hands-on ...

Jerry Hall in a Hut! Can anyone please help? There was a program on BBC2 about various types of therapies that Jerry Hall was trying out (Mick Jagger’s ex wife). The treatment that she got the most out of was from a middle aged blonde man in a hut, who performed therapeutic bodywork on her. She was ’moved’. I want to know where the man who treated her is based and what his name is or the name of the television program, or if it actually was therapeutic bodywork?? I hope someone can help, it was over a year ago that the program came on television. it was a sunday morning probab ...

I also use massage exactly as you described it to relieve severe stomach and back pain that I get from a congested liver/gallbladder. When I hear and feel those gurgles I smile from ear to ear!! I have done around 20 liver flushes, but still experience pain (much less that I used to), so I think the massage is a valuable tool, I often get stones coming out the morning after an ”attack” of pain when I massage. I have also done the arise and shine bowel cleanse twice and Bernard Jenson’s bowel cleanse twice, so I feel it is definitely worth using massage and best of all intiution to assis ...

Keep flushing every 2-3 weeks till all the stones are gone. Instead of stopping for some months. After that you can do it twice a year. Johanna   [End]

Thanks for sharing that. It was very interesting and I am glad that you are feeling better. Are you doing bowel cleansing too??? A Master Cleanse might be good for you to do too.   [End]

I thought this might be helpful to anyone with headaches related to liver/gallbladder congestion. Sorry this is so long, but I think it requires a little background. I’ve had chronic headaches most of my life, as did my mother and grandmother. They’re multi-faceted, connected to hormone fluctuations, tension, structural misalignments, dental issues, bowel toxicity, lymphatic congestion, yeast & parasite infection, liver/gallbladder congestion, and probably some psycho-spiritual elements, as well. I’ve been working on all those aspects, and have found them ALL to be interconnected. I’ve ...
