This video casts an exact analogy to my work as a deep tissue manual therapist. I know exactly where to tap on the soft tissue, so my patients tell me. Knowledge is valuable 💥 pic.twitter.com/lktb9PFYAm — Arjan de Raaf (@AJdeRaaf) August 20, 2018

How Rockefeller Founded Big Pharma Western medicine has some good points, and is great in an emergency, but it’s high time people realized that today’s mainstream medicine (western medicine or allopathy), with its focus on drugs, drugs, radiation, drugs, surgery, drugs and more drugs, is at its foundation a money-spinning Rockefeller creation. People these days look at you like a weirdo if you talk about the healing properties of plants or any other holistic practices. Much like anything else, politics […]

Our bodies require a whopping 4700 mg of the mineral potassium every day. It’s actually in most foods we eat but because the requirements are so high, people rarely get enough. A banana only has 440 mg so that barely helps. The risk of chronic low potassium is heart failure. You could end up in the ER. Your heart especially needs potassium to work properly. In addition, if you take HBP meds or other medications, it can tap out your […]

I get that question a lot from patients when they can feel their muscle adhesion roll around like a marble, it’s tender, or it’s making noise. The contracted muscle tissue is quite noisy; as noisy as your joint adjusting (cracking). This is when the patient on the table needs to calm their imagination. It’s not a tumor, a bug, a parasite, or some kind of monster. It’s your flesh. Your flesh is muscle and blood so your muscle knots (adhesions) […]

Cannabis, or marijuana (Cannabis sativa) is known for its psychoactive properties and its illegal recreational use to get “high” or “stoned”. The main psychoactive chemical in cannabis is tetrahydrocannabinol, commonly known as THC. This was isolated in 1964. Another important component, nonpsychoactive cannabidiol (CBD), was identified in 1963. All together, there are more than 60… “The Chinese used marijuana more than 4600 years ago for ailments such as cramps, joint and menstrual pains. But, it wasn’t until the 19th century […]

Injury or contraction to a muscle, organ, or bone sends a signal through the muscle to the nerve that innervates it and then to your brain. Nerves flow throughout your body into every corner with axoplasmic fluid and tiny blood vessels. That fluid speaks to the muscles and thus the blood and into the CNS or central nervous system. The CNS is the brain and spinal cord. If you hurt a bone, the pain signal is sent into the muscle […]

“Drinking water and staying hydrated alleviates pain time and time again as dehydration causes histamines to react in areas of pain in the body. One of Big Pharma’s biggest dirty secrets is that most medications are in fact, antihistamines that treat the localized symptoms of pain – but not the cause.”-Craig Stellpflug Check out this great link for the full story.

Last I heard, big pharma is already sticking their nose into the weeds as usual and trying to synthesize cannabis for pharmaceuticals. They’ve done that with all of our plants. I say “our plants” because I’m a professional herbalist. Most pharmaceuticals that you are prescribed or buy over the counter are synthesized from plants. They take the strongest components of the plant, extract it, throw the rest out and it then sledgehammers your body into submission. All the medicine in […]

I want to change the name of my business to, “It’s the Muscles” because when it comes to pain and resistance or trouble in the body it starts with muscle adhesions and snowballs down from there. It’s still amazing to me as a bodyworker that the two most abundant and powerful aspects of the body are not medically understood or treated medically by the healthcare profession. You can’t plant seeds or plants with roots by raking the top of the […]
