What about the flu shot? I use Chinese herbs to build immunity instead

February 8, 2018 by Lisa T.

FB friends and patients, please put your thinking caps on here and read this article. Holistic practitioners have been trying to educate the public for years about this issue but we’re in competition for your attention from the Feds, big media, and big Pharma. They all have big bucks to make and we here on the front lines are just trying to make a living by doing the right thing and helping people trust their body. Look at the facts. […]

The Biology of Belief

February 3, 2018 by Lisa T.

I read Bruce Lipton’s great book several years ago and it knocked me out back then. Bruce has a Ph.D. in Cell Biology and has done cutting-edge work in understanding how the cell membranes actually function. The scientific emphasis with regard to cells has always been the DNA and RNA which are nucleic acids found in the nucleus only of all of our cells. But Bruce has found that the nucleus of our cells does not set the agenda for […]

The Well-Documented Placebo Effect

January 27, 2018 by Lisa T.

I’m enjoying reading “The Science Delusion” by noted author and Ph.D. scientist Rupert Sheldrake. The title of his book can be misleading. He works in the field of science and supports REAL scientific rigor. This book points out what is rational scientific rigor and what is not! I recommend it. He says, “In several clinical trials, Prozac was no better than the placebo…The drug company, Eli Lilly, did not publish the results of unsuccessful trials which were revealed only because an independently […]

Why Influenza Likes Winter Weather

January 11, 2018 by Lisa T.

This is a very informative link. The Flu in the Winter The Flu virus thrives in cold, dry air. That’s why we see an uptick in cases in the winter. But you can shore up your own immune system and not get sick, even though it’s likely you carry the virus. We all carry a host of pathogens in our body that our immune system can effectively get rid of on its own if we just support our body. I […]

What is Qi? (Chi)

December 26, 2017 by Lisa T.

Part of my work at Deep t.Issue Massage Therapy is Energy balancing or Qi balancing. I use Reiki to do it. Qi or Ki is Life Force and is intelligent and orderly. All of nature is intelligent and orderly. Humans have been aware of it from antiquity, just as they’ve been aware of blood in the body. It’s a natural force. Qi is natural to all things around us and in the Universe. Qi has no religion, dogma, no book, […]

Candidiasis in the Body

December 15, 2017 by Lisa T.

I have first-hand experience with this as I was addicted to sugar and baked goods for the first half of my life. Sugars, simple carbohydrates and wheat feed the yeast and it gets overblown in the body. I was raised to be this way by my family as many of us have been. I’ve only been holistic for the last twenty years so I was out of alignment for thirty-four years. Food habits are taught and modeled. In my family, […]

The Stages of Inflammation and Herbal Treatment

December 14, 2017 by Lisa T.

What are the stages of the Inflammatory reaction? The inflammatory reaction is the combination of a number of overlapping reactions within the body. Although a lot of these occur simultaneously a certain order of events may be seen: 1. Tissue Injury Tissue damage may occur from trauma such as a tackle, collision or from an awkward fall. However, quite commonly tissue injury is as a result of overuse, commonly known as microtrauma. 2. Release of Chemicals When tissue cells become […]

What is the difference between Manual Therapy and Massage Therapy?

December 7, 2017 by Lisa T.

The level of education. Professional Manual Therapists are trained in either Naprapathic, Osteopathic, Physical Therapy, or Sports Therapy tradition. I am trained to be a Naprapathic Doctor, but it is only licensed in two or three states in the U.S. I have 2400 hours of training (4 years at Blue Heron Academy) and 25 years of experience. Manual therapy employs tactile assessment, body mapping, soft tissue structure assessment, deep tissue folding, and only liniment to warm the tissue before treatment. […]
