Health-Massage-Bodywork Tips
“…medical therapy has been and is a main cause of the epidemic number of people suffering and dying from coronary artery disease (CAD), heart disease, diabetes, heart attacks, stokes, and obesity.” –Dr. Bruce West, Founder of Health Alert
The thick layer of bacteria lining the intestines (gut) is flora. Once this gut flora is damaged or altered (termed “dysbiosis”), the immune system weakens which allows our bodies to be susceptible all types of health problems and diseases. Initially people will suffer from indigestion, gut problems, allergies, headaches, menstrual problems, and much more. Next, people go to the doctor and they are prescribed drugs and/or antibiotics. The initial problems go away. Then, later when the discomfort comes back though, typically people repeat the cycle of doctors and drugs until the discomfort goes away again (termed “chronic doctoring”). The cycle repeats whenever pain is felt, ultimately the gut gets worse and the immune system weakens more. Lastly, we combine the above conditions with the Standard American Diet (SAD) of processed, sugar-laden foods, it is no wonder that so many people are suffering from serious health conditions like cancer, infections, severe learning disabilities, emotional problems, diabetes, etc.
A solution? Fix the underlying cause of the problem (which is almost always ignored) – fix the gut!
How can you start feeling better? Here are some ideas:
- Get hydrated with water, minimally half your body weight in ounces, daily. Occasionally supplement with electrolytes especially if you feel muscle cramps, headaches, etc.
- Explore juice fasting with fresh vegetable and fruits. My March 2012 e-newsletter discusses juice fasting with additional resources.
- Eat whole foods like your grandparents used to eat – fresh, unprocessed, and in their natural state. Minimize eating CRAP – candy, refined food, alcohol, processed foods.
Do one healthy change at a time and make it habit. Do another healthy change, then another. Within a year, you should be feeling much better!
“With serious disease, whether it be physical, immune, or emotional,
first, I fix the gut.” –John Parks Trowbridge, MD

About What I Do
Do you identify yourself by the discomfort you are feeling lately?
Are you dependent on pain medications or considering splints and other supportive devices (like canes, shoe inserts, etc.), shots (like cortisone, steroids, etc.), and surgery to alleviate pain?
Are you tired of chronic pain, tingling, numbness, always getting injured, experiencing stress fractures, and lack of strength anywhere in your body?
Do you want improved movement, better range of motion, and restful sleep?
If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, I can help you with the connective tissue massage-bodywork therapies I use during sessions.
My website is very informative, so please visit to learn more about my services, session prices, and my schedule along with massage-bodywork benefits and tips for before, during, and after your sessions.
I would like to partner with other health practitioners (orthopedic surgeons, dentists, naturopathic doctors, chiropractors, psychological counselors, athletic and life coaches, acupuncturists, movement instructors/practitioners), health facilities (gyms, exercise studios (karate, yoga, dance)), and small businesses in the city of San Diego. My sessions with clients do complement these services to bring about more health and well-being to people. If you have any recommendations, please connect us by sending them my e-newsletters and contact information, OR I would be happy to contact them directly!
I can provide demonstrations and classes about health and massage-bodywork to businesses and their employees. Review My Calendar for the talks and health/wellness events I’ve completed in the past in the San Diego community.
If you have any questions about my services and would like to set up an appointment, please, call or email me. I look forward to working with you at your next appointment!
