1). DON’T FORGET THE OBLIQUES. Rotational injuries such as swinging a golf club or a baseball bat are a sign that the oblique muscles are weak. The lower back and pelvis, to which these muscles are attached, can be locked up, putting a bigger demand on these muscles and resulting in hip injuries.

Clear the Sludge

Every home owner has had the experience of a backed-up sink preventing water from going down the drain. Sometimes a bottle of “Draino®” does the trick (temporarily at least), but there are times when you have to call the plumber to “rod-out” the PVC pipes due to the hair, dirt, soap scum, etc. that collects over time.

You know, our bodies are very similar. As a result of the toxins that build up in our system, we may experience temporary “backs-ups” from time to time. Sometimes it manifests as constipation or a bloated gut. But if this “sludge in the pipes” gets stuck for too long, often chronic symptoms such as headaches, painful muscles and joints, or sinus congestion can develop. Even an inability to lose weight can be traced to a toxic body.

Has Your Identity Been Stolen?

There is a lot of talk these days about identity theft. It is a major crime punishable by law that can cause the victim countless lost hours to restore it, and huge headaches (in the process).

SCOLIOSIS IS ONE EXAMPLE OF HOW YOUR HEALTH, AND THUS YOUR IDENTITY, CAN BE ROBBED FROM WITHIN.
