Dr. Patrick Garrett is a chiropractor and clinical nutritionist who specializes in using lifestyle and dietary changes to reverse chronic health conditions. He believes that food can have a significant impact on mood, citing studies that have found many people with depression to be deficient in vitamins, minerals, omega-3 fatty acids and other nutrients found in whole foods like fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds. Specific mood-boosting foods he recommends include cashews, citrus fruits, dark leafy greens, fatty fish and foods containing zinc, magnesium and B vitamins. His message is that making healthy dietary choices focused on nutrient-dense, whole foods can help improve mood and mental wellbeing.
This document discusses the relationship between nutrition and mental health. It provides an overview of common medications used to treat mental health conditions like depression and anxiety. It emphasizes using a whole-foods, nutrient-dense diet and supplements like omega-3, multivitamins, and herbal remedies as part of an integrative approach to mental health. Testing methods and resources for making healthy food choices are also outlined. The document is presented by Dr. Ric Saguil to promote an alternative perspective on mental health treatment focusing on nutrition and lifestyle factors.
The document discusses how to naturally achieve health, happiness, and hormonal balance. It suggests that Americans often seek happiness through food instead of making lifestyle choices consistent with longevity. Happiness comes from balance, movement, social interaction, imperfection, and eating to support hormone function instead of exhausting hormones. The pursuit of hormonal balance involves reducing stress, eating for hormone health, and removing harmful substances. The document is authored by Dr. Patrick Garrett, a chiropractor and functional medicine practitioner who specializes in reversing conditions through lifestyle changes.
This document discusses proper nutrition versus stress and its effects on health. It covers the three dimensions of stress, positive and negative biochemical stress examples, tips to increase positive and reduce negative biochemical stress through diet and lifestyle choices. The risks of poor eating habits like obesity are also summarized, including increased risks of diseases, health conditions, and even death. Chiropractic adjustments are mentioned as a way to help dissipate biochemical stress in the body.

It covers topics like the causes of chronic illness (toxicity and deficiency), the effects of stress on the body, the role of diet and lifestyle in gene expression and health, and offers recommendations like managing stress, daily exercise, a whole foods diet, drinking clean water, and chiropractic care to improve overall health and wellness.
Lifestyle diseases are caused partly by unhealthy behaviors and partly by other factors. They include cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, stroke, cancer, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, depression, and musculoskeletal disorders. The document outlines the causes and risk factors for each disease as well as recommendations for prevention through diet, exercise, avoiding tobacco and alcohol, managing stress, and maintaining a healthy weight. Unhealthy lifestyle behaviors like poor diet, smoking, physical inactivity, excessive alcohol consumption, and not managing stress or weight can significantly increase the risk of developing lifestyle diseases.
This document discusses herbal medicines, over-the-counter (OTC) medications, and dietary supplements. It notes that while herbal medicines and supplements are widely used, they are not approved by the FDA for safety and effectiveness. Some popular herbs like kava kava, St. John's wort, and ginseng can interact adversely with prescription drugs or have side effects like liver toxicity. The document lists 12 herbs that should be avoided and provides safety tips for using herbal medicines. It describes what OTC medications are and how to use them safely, including reading labels and consulting a pharmacist when needed. Dietary supplements are meant to supplement rather than replace the diet and may not be regulated like drugs.

Dr. Garrett and Sherry Clark discuss how food allergies and sensitivities can cause leaky gut, leading to inflammation and weight gain. Leaky gut occurs when the intestinal lining becomes porous, allowing undigested foods to enter the bloodstream. It is caused by factors like antibiotics, poor diet, stress, and food sensitivities. This leads to a process called molecular mimicry where the immune system attacks the body. They recommend identifying and avoiding food sensitivities, managing stress, and following an anti-inflammatory diet to repair leaky gut and restore hormone balance.

Diet is classified into eliminative, soothing, and constructive phases to cleanse, soothe, and rebuild the body.

Lifestyle changes like dressing in layers, exercising, and reducing caffeine/alcohol intake can help mild cases. Herbal supplements like black cohosh have not proven effective, while prescription options include low-dose antidepressants or hormones like estrogen, though risks must be weighed. Diet, stress relief, and prescription medications may control moderate to severe hot flashes.
1) Many people have made consuming drugs a daily habit similar to eating food, as pharmacies are filled with various tablets, capsules, and suspensions in different colors and flavors.
2) A journalist asked about an expensive drug prescribed to his wife that could not be identified in any pharmacology references. It was found to be a dietary supplement containing a chemical similar to the hormone estrogen, though studies show it does not have the same effects and may increase breast cancer risk.
3) There are now hundreds of unknown pill and suspensions being prescribed and sold based on claims of supporting health in various ways, but most are introduced as natural to falsely imply safety despite lack of evidence. Proper action needs to be taken to

Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

1. Complementary and
Alternative Medicine
Perhaps you have seen a bottle of an herbal medicine in the
drugstore and wondered if it might help get rid of your cold.
Or you have thought about going to a chiropractor (KEYE
ruh-PRAK-tur) to treat your back pain. If so, you are not
alone. Every year, millions of Americans try some form of
complementary and alternative medicine—practices and
products that are different from those normally used by your
family doctor.
But you may wonder: Do these treatments work? Am I wasting
my money? Most important, are they safe? Health experts
are still trying to answer these questions. More research will
hopefully shed light on the real benefits and risks of these
alternative treatments.
What is complementary and
alternative medicine?
The treatments used by most doctors
are considered conventional medicine.
Complementary and alternative medi
cine (CAM) consists of a group of health
care practices and products that are con
sidered out of the mainstream.
An “out-of-the-mainstream” treatment
is considered complementary if you use
it along with conventional medicine. An
example would be using acupuncture
along with painkilling drugs to reduce
labor pains. A treatment is considered
Complementary and Alternative Medicine
367
2. alternative if you use it instead of conven
tional medicine. An example would be
using acupuncture as your only treatment
for headache.
This chapter will help you learn about
the major CAM treatments and how
they might benefit you. Also, just as im
portant, it will tell you about the risks
of certain CAM treatments and what to
watch out for.
Who uses CAM?
Research shows that 40 percent of
women in the United States use some
form of CAM. If you include prayer for
health reasons and taking large doses of
vitamins as types of CAM, that number
rises to 69 percent. CAM is used more
by:
l
l
l
women
people with more education
people who live in or near cities
Why do people use CAM?
People try CAM for a variety of reasons,
including:
l
l
l
Although something can be said for all
of these reasons, you should be aware of
some of the downsides of using CAM
treatments, such as:
l
l
Conventional medicine has not helped
solve their medical problem.
They believe that products derived
from nature are healthier and safer
than prescription drugs, even though
they may not be.
They like the holistic approach taken
by CAM therapists. A holistic ap
proach involves paying attention to all
of a client’s needs to help her regain
and maintain her health. These include
not just physical but also emotional,
social, and spiritual needs.
368
l
No CAM treatment has been proven
to work beyond a shadow of a doubt.
Some CAM products, although de
rived from plants, can cause health
problems. For instance, ephedra, a
Chinese herbal product, was be
ing sold in the United States to help
people lose weight and to enhance
athletic performance. Because ephedra
increased the risk of heart problems
and stroke, the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) banned the
sale of ephedra.
Some CAM products interfere with
how prescription drugs work. For
instance, St. John’s wort, which some
people take to treat depression, can
The Healthy Woman: A Complete Guide for All Ages
3. interfere with the actions of drugs for
treating HIV, cancer, and other diseas
es. It may also reduce the effectiveness
of birth control pills.
l
l
Some herbal products, such as black
cohosh, are unsafe to use during preg
nancy. The safety of many other herbal
products, either during pregnancy or
breastfeeding, has not been studied.
Some people might use an unproven
CAM treatment that may not work or
may carry risks, instead of a conven
tional treatment that is known to be
effective.
If you choose to try a CAM treatment,
be sure to discuss it first with your doc
tor. Your doctor should know whether
the therapy may be helpful and is safe to
try along with your current treatments.
Some people don’t mention their use of
CAM treatments to their doctor because
they think that their doctor will have
negative feelings about CAM. If you are
in this situation and would like to try a
CAM treatment, perhaps you may want
to find a doctor that you feel more com
fortable talking to about this.
Complementary and Alternative Medicine
CAM Treatment Categories
• CAM treatments found in nature
• energy medicine
• therapies that adjust the body
• mind-body medicine
• whole medical systems
CAM treatments found in nature
Some CAM treatments use substances
found in nature, such as herbs, vitamins,
and minerals. The idea that natural sub
stances might be used as medicines is
not new. Practically since the beginning
of time, people have used parts of plants
and animals to treat diseases. In fact,
some conventional drugs come from na
ture. For instance, aspirin is derived from
a substance found in the bark of the wil
low tree.
Some CAM products are sold as dietary
supplements. These are products taken
by mouth that are intended to supple
ment, or add to, the diet. They come in
many forms, including tablets, teas, and
powders.
369
4. Label Regulations
The FDA regulates dietary supplements as foods
rather than drugs. The laws about putting foods (including supplements) on the market are less strict
than the laws for drugs. For instance, a manufacturer does not have to prove that a supplement is useful for treating any health problem before it is sold.
Some dietary supplements have been shown not to
contain what was listed on the label. In some cases,
pills did not contain as much of the supplement as
the label said they did, or they contained more. In
other cases, supplements were found to be contaminated with toxins, bacteria, or other substances. To address these problems, the FDA
has issued new regulations requiring that:
• a dietary supplement contains what its label says it contains and in the dose listed
on the label
• supplements are not contaminated
The new regulations took effect in August 2007 and will be phased in over 3 years.
Below are some CAM products found
in nature that have been tried for various
diseases and medical conditions:
to a few cases of hepatitis (inflammation
of the liver), but it is not clear whether it
caused the problem.
Black cohosh and other plant products for
treating menopausal symptoms
Black cohosh is often used for treat
ing hot flashes and other menopausal
symptoms. Research has generally shown
that black cohosh by itself has little to
no effect on menopausal symptoms.
But one research study found that black
cohosh combined with St. John’s wort
was somewhat effective in treating these
symptoms.
Research studies have followed women
taking black cohosh for only 6 months
or less, so it’s not known if the herb is
safe to take for periods longer than 6
months. Black cohosh has been linked

The Healthy Woman: A Complete Guide for All Ages
5. Other plant products that have been
used for treating menopausal symptoms
include:
l
l
l
l
l
Red clover. Research has not shown
red clover to be effective in reducing
hot flashes.
Dong quai (doong kweye). Research
has not shown dong quai to be ef
fective in reducing hot flashes. It also
contains substances that may cause
cancer.
Ginseng. Research has shown that
ginseng might help menopausal symp
toms such as insomnia, depression, and
feeling tired. But it does not seem to
reduce hot flashes.
Kava. Kava may decrease anxiety but
does not seem to reduce hot flashes.
The FDA has issued a warning about
kava because it can damage the liver.
Soy. Research on the effects of soy on
hot flashes has produced mixed results.
When taken as a food or dietary sup
plement for short periods of time, soy
appears to have few if any serious side
effects. But taking soy extracts for sev
eral years may cause thickening of the
uterine lining. This can cause abnormal
vaginal bleeding.
Cranberry
We normally think of cranberry as a
food. But research suggests that cran
berry can also be used for its health ben
efits. Cranberry—in the form of juice or
tablets—may be able to prevent urinary
tract infections in women. Cranberries
contain a substance that prevents bac
teria from sticking to cell walls in the
urinary tract.
Complementary and Alternative Medicine
Echinacea
Echinacea (EK-ih-NAY-shuh) is com
monly used to prevent or treat colds, flu,
and other infections that affect breathing.
Research suggests that echinacea is not
effective in preventing or treating colds
in adults. One research study showed
that echinacea was not effective in treat
ing colds and similar infections in chil
dren but reduced the chances that the
children would develop them again later.

6. Magnetic therapy
Magnets have been used at least since
the time of the ancient Egyptians to
treat medical problems. The magnets
that we are most familiar with are static
magnets. These are usually made of iron
or steel, and their magnetic fields are
static, meaning that they do not change.
Refrigerator magnets are a type of weak
static magnet.
FrESh gIngEr
Ginger
Research suggests that ginger can relieve
the nausea and vomiting of pregnancy.
Researchers studied pregnant women
who were given about 1 gram of ginger
per day, which is about the amount com
monly used in cooking. They took the
ginger for up to 3 weeks. No serious side
effects occurred using ginger in these
amounts and for this length of time. But
some herbal medicine textbooks caution
against using larger amounts of ginger. If
you are pregnant and considering using
ginger, discuss it with your doctor.
Energy medicine
Some CAM therapies involve using dif
ferent types of energy to treat illness.
Some of these therapies use energies that
everyone agrees exist, such as the energy
field surrounding magnets. Other thera
pies claim to use a “life energy,” which
may or may not exist.
372
Static magnets have been used to treat
painful conditions, such as painful men
struation. Typically, magnets are placed
directly on the skin or into products that
come into contact with the body, such as
bandages.
Research studies on the use of static
magnets to relieve pain have produced
mixed results. Some experts say that
research studies that have shown pain
relief have used stronger magnets than
those that have not shown pain relief.
Another type of magnet is the elec
tromagnet. Electromagnets consist of
an iron core surrounded by a wire coil.
When electricity flows through the coil,
the iron core produces a magnetic field.
When the electricity is turned off, the
magnetic field goes away. In general,
research studies using electromagnetic
therapy to reduce pain have produced
more positive results than those using
static magnets.
“Life energy” therapies
The idea that a special type of “life ener
gy” flows through people’s bodies is com
mon among cultures around the world.
For instance, the ancient Chinese called
The Healthy Woman: A Complete Guide for All Ages
7. In other research, energy healing did not
seem to be effective. These research stud
ies showed that energy healing:
l
l
had no effect on the nerve pain that
can occur in diabetes
had no useful effect in people recover
ing from a stroke
Therapies that adjust the body
Some CAM practices involve handling,
pressing, or moving parts of the body.
Examples include:
l
l
l
it qi (chee), whereas ancient Hindus
called it prana (PRAH-nuh). Also com
mon is the idea that certain “healers” can
treat illnesses by passing their life energy
into others. They do this by holding their
hands on or near a person’s body. In Ja
pan, this is known as Reiki (RAY-kee).
In Western cultures, it’s called therapeu
tic touch, laying on of hands, or polarity
therapy. Some researchers have claimed
to detect a unique form of energy given
off by healers. But the findings of these
research studies are controversial.
In research studies, energy healing
seemed to:

muscles, bones, and joints

Complementary and Alternative Medicine
chiropractic
osteopathy (OSS-tee-OP-uh-thee)

Chiropractic
Chiropractors believe that the body has a
natural healing ability that is controlled
by the nervous system. They also believe
that if the bones in the spine are not sit
ting on top of each other correctly, they
put pressure on nerves along the spine.
This can disrupt the flow of nerve signals
to parts of the body. If a body part does
not receive its normal supply of nerve
signals, it becomes diseased, according to
this theory.
To make the spinal bones line up
straight, chiropractors make one or more
“adjustments.” A chiropractic adjustment
involves applying a sudden controlled
force to a joint.
Research suggests that chiropractic ad
justments may offer short-term relief for
low back pain. However, most cases of
short-term low back pain get better in
several weeks no matter what treatment
is used.

Osteopaths receive training in conven
tional medicine as well as osteopathic
medicine. Because of this, osteopaths can
prescribe drugs and perform surgery.
Research suggests that osteopathic ma
nipulations may be useful for treating
low back pain.
Chiropractic adjustments for low back
pain are generally safe. But there have
been cases of stroke following neck ad
justments because of the tearing of arter
ies leading to the brain. There has also
been concern that some chiropractors
overuse x-rays, which may increase your
risk of cancer.
Massage
Massage therapists press, rub, or move
muscles and other soft tissues of the
body. Most people use massage to reduce
muscle soreness and tension and relieve
stress and anxiety.
Osteopathy
Osteopaths believe that the bones and
muscles of the body need to be posi
tioned properly so that blood and other
body fluids flow as they should. This is
thought to help ensure health. An os

to find tense muscles and joints that do

Also, research has shown that preterm
infants who receive daily massage treat

show fewer stress behaviors than those
who do not receive these treatments.
Mind-body medicine
Perhaps you have noticed that your
mood can affect whether or not you get
sick. If you feel well, you are less likely
to get sick. If you feel bad, you are more
likely to get sick. In fact, research has
shown that mood can affect your health.
For instance, in one research study,
people who were energetic, happy, and
relaxed were less likely to develop a cold
even though they were infected with a
cold virus than were people who were
sad, tense, and angry.
Mind-body medicine is a branch of
CAM that seeks to understand how
your mind and body affect each other.
Mind-body therapies attempt to use this
information to improve your health. Two
examples of mind-body therapies are
biofeedback and hypnosis.
Biofeedback
Biofeedback allows people to control
things about their body that they ordi
narily would not be able to control. These
include heart rate, skin temperature, and
muscle tension. During a biofeedback

session, therapists apply electrical sensors
to parts of a client’s body. These sensors
measure something about the body that
would be useful to control. For instance,
someone who gets tension headaches
because of increased muscle tension in
the head would have sensors on the head
to detect muscle tension. When the
muscles become more tense, this is made
known to the client by a beeping sound
or a flashing light. The client learns to
turn off the sound or light by relaxing
head muscles. This helps get rid of the
headache.
Biofeedback has been shown to be help
ful in treating a variety of medical condi
tions, including:
l
l
l
high blood pressure
hot flashes
irregular heartbeats
Hypnosis
Hypnotists try to produce a mental state
in which you are more open to sugges
tions. To hypnotize someone, a therapist
will first get them to relax and concen
trate on an object. Then the therapist will
tell them something such as, “You will
not feel pain when you give birth.”

Chinese herbal medicines
The part of traditional Chinese medi
cine that has been studied the most in
terms of its health effects is acupuncture.
Acupuncture was developed in China
more than 2000 years ago. According to
ancient Chinese beliefs, disease is due
to a blockage in the flow of qi energy
through the body. Inserting needles into
acupuncture points unblocks qi to restore
health, according to this theory. Modern
scientists think that acupuncture may
work by causing the release of natural
painkillers in the brain.
Research has shown that acupuncture
may be useful for reducing:
reducing anxiety before medical or
dental procedures
treating tension headaches

Not everyone can be hypnotized. Re
search suggests that people who can be

ing, listening to music, or daydreaming
have a greater ability to be hypnotized.

Whole medical systems
Whole medical systems are health care
methods that have evolved separately
from conventional Western medicine.
Each medical system involves several ther
apies that are often used in combination.
Traditional Chinese medicine
Traditional Chinese medicine includes:

acupuncture, a treatment that involves
inserting thin needles into specific
points on the skin

11. Also, research suggests that acupuncture
plus moxibustion may cause a breech
baby to move to the head-down posi
tion, which allows for a normal vaginal
birth. Before birth, most babies are in
this head-down position in the mother’s
uterus. But sometimes the part of the
baby that is down near the vagina is the
buttocks or the feet. When a baby is in
one of these positions before birth, it’s
called a breech baby. Doctors often de
liver breech babies by cesarean section.
Compared with acupuncture, less re
search has been done on the health ef
fects of Chinese herbal medicines. But
drugs for treating malaria have been
developed from one Chinese herbal
medicine.
Ayurveda
Ayurveda (AH-yur-VAY-duh) is one of
the world’s oldest systems of medicine.
It started in India more than 5000 years
ago. Ayurveda involves many different
treatments, including:
l
herbal medicines
Warning
Some Chinese and Ayurvedic herbal
medicines have been found to contain toxic metals and other harmful
substances. Some Chinese herbal
medicines have also been found to
contain prescription drugs that were
not listed on the label. before taking
any Chinese or Ayurvedic herbal medicines, you should talk to your doctor.
For information about new FDA regulations to address problems with dietary
supplements, which includes these
medicines, see page 370.

meditation
yoga (a system of exercises designed to
help you gain control of your body and
mind)
Research on Ayurvedic treatments is
still in the early stages. But a number of
Ayurvedic herbs and spices are showing
promise in treating various diseases. For
instance, tumeric, a spice that is often
used in Ayurvedic treatments, contains a
substance that may help treat Alzheim
er’s disease.
Homeopathy
Homeopathy (HOH-mee-OP-uh-thee)
is a medical system developed in Germa
ny in the early 1800s. It is based on the
idea that drugs that produce symptoms
similar to those of a disease can help
cure that disease. Homeopathic products
contain these drugs in very small doses
dissolved in water or alcohol.
Homeopathic products have been tried
for many health issues, including meno
pausal hot flashes and premenstrual
syndrome. A few research studies have
shown homeopathic products to work
for some conditions. But many experts
question these results because homeo-

pathic products contain such small doses

Tips on selecting a CAM therapist
Selecting a CAM therapist is much like
selecting a conventional doctor. You want
someone you feel comfortable with and
who will help you with your health con
cerns. Below are some tips for choosing a
CAM therapist:
l
Talk with your primary care doctor
about your interest in trying a CAM
therapy. Discuss possible benefits and
risks of the therapy. Ask if the therapy
might interfere with your conventional
treatments. Also, ask your doctor to
378
l
Some large medical centers have
CAM therapists on staff. Check to see
if there is such a center near you.
Contact a national association for the
therapy that you are interested in and
ask for a list of certified therapists in
your area. To find CAM associations,
ask your local librarian for directories
that you can look in.
Some states have agencies that regu
late and license certain types of CAM
therapists. The agency may be able to
provide you with a list of therapists
who meet their standards.
Find out if your health insurance com
pany will cover your visit to a CAM
therapist. Most CAM therapies are
not covered by insurance.
After you choose a CAM therapist, go
to your first visit with a list of ques
tions that you want answered. Also, be
prepared to discuss your health history
and the other treatments that you are
receiving.
A final word
Be sure to mention any CAM therapies
that you are considering trying with
your primary care doctor. Your doctor
will be able to tell you about the possible
benefits and risks of the treatment. Also,
when it comes to CAM therapies, it is
probably best to steer a middle course.
Keep an open mind but, at the same
time, be skeptical. n

13. one woman’s Story
I
have found massage therapy to be a very
valuable complementary therapy. As a single mother, raising four children, I have over
the years worked through periods of extreme
stress. This overload of stress has contributed
to severe headaches and shoulder and back
pain. I have found that getting a good massage is the single most effective intervention
to reduce stress and relieve the muscle tension resulting from too many hours in front of
a computer.
Massage therapy
has been a safe
and effective
complementary
therapy for me.
Several years ago, while sitting at a red light
in my car, I was struck from behind and suffered a whiplash injury to my neck. I suffered
terribly for months with pain, and none of the
typical treatments provided relief. not content
to spend my evenings doped up on painkillers and muscle relaxers and unable to participate in my children’s lives, I visited my massage therapist, who also was trained in cranialsacral therapy, which involves adjusting bones in the head and spine. After just a few
sessions of cranialsacral therapy and massage, the pain from the whiplash injury went
away and has never returned.
Massage therapy has been a safe and effective complementary therapy for me. If we all
had biweekly massages, perhaps we as a nation would be healthier!
