ROJ Republic of Julie – a great runner’s blog by a passionate Ohio ultra-runner, drug & alcohol counselor, baking/cooking fanatic, lover of crafts and all around fitness enthusiast. Here is what she wrote about Naturally Pain Free:
A runner writes a book review for Naturally Pain Free: “Letha Hadady covers a large range of ailments and how they can be treated using herbs or foods. I was immediately drawn to the idea of fixing a variety of ailments without needing to ingest pills, especially since some of these pills can actually work adversely against the body when it comes to athletics. . . Chapters on “Home and Field Injuries” and “Sports Injuries” contain useful information for athletes. Tips on ways to reduce inflammation from training to issues one might encounter from spending a lot of time on the trails in nature, there was a lot to cover. One thing that jumped out at me in particular was the discussion of heat vs. cold for injuries. I’ve always advocated “ice, ice, ice, ice!” for myself and for the runners I coach.”
July 1, 2012 is the launch of my new book Naturally Pain Free (sourcebooks) It is featured by One Spirit Book Club. Based on ten years of field research taken from my health clients my own experimentation with foods, herbs, baths, massage, laser acupuncture, PRP and stem cell injections and more–the book offers a practical reader-friendly guide to healthy home care, prevention and treatment of everyday pains and injury, surgery and recovery. Treating common discomforts with enjoyable and affordable methods brings the family closer, facilitates communication and protects against depression, infection, and serious illness.
Steep a pinch of these Chinese medicinal flowers in hot water for 3 – 5 minutes and you have a delicious, cooling, healing summer beverage recommended for headaches, cloudy vision, dizziness, hypertension, and heat stroke prevention. For tired computer eyes, burning eye lids and blood shoot eyes: Steep the tea and strain it through a cone with coffee paper (as though making coffee) Then pour some cool tea onto sterile cotton balls and apply them to your eyes for at least fifteen minutes — a nice thing to do while sitting on the porch sipping the delicious tea, or soaking in a bathtub. Splash your face with the strained tea. It’s refreshing, cooling and naturally sweet not sticky.
What is vocal fry? You have heard it and cringed. Researchers at Long Island University believe it is a trend begun by young women who want to affect relationships with their vocal quality. Imagine girl slang that becomes mainstream—-Awesome! The Journal of Voice article reports: Working with what they acknowledged to be a very small sample — recorded speech from 34 women ages 18 to 25 — the professors said they found evidence of a new trend among female college students: a guttural fluttering of the vocal cords they called “vocal fry.” A classic example of vocal fry, best described as a raspy or croaking sound injected usually at the end of a sentence, can be heard when Mae West says, “Why don’t you come up sometime and see me,” or, more recently on television, when Maya Rudolph mimics Maya Angelou on “Saturday Night Live.” . . . If this is a relationship trend as well as a vocal trend, you wonder what sort of relationship these girls want.
Sometimes a cold is a nice excuse for staying in bed, reading a good book and eating lightly to rest from ordinary exhaustion. Other times it marks the beginning of a miserable time of runny nose, fever, cough, and aches. Here are natural approaches to preventing and treating colds and flu. Protect yourself and family this flu season and all year round. At the first sign of aches, fatigue and discomforts take Chinese patent remedy Gan Mao Ling or Cold Away pills from Health Concerns. Drink a cup of warm cinnamon tea to sweat out chills. Stay inside and rest. Drink lots of Pu Erh tea, recently shown to help reduce flu symptoms.
Driving through beautiful, swampy north Florida and Georgia, everything was budding and blooming. I had to wipe thick yellow pollen off the car windshield. As we made our way home to snowy New York, I experienced spring allergies: Runny nose, pounding headache and low energy. Driving in a car through the South, I could not take the usual precautions to reduce exposure to pollen. I didn’t have my usual remedies on hand either. They include homeopathic apis mel. 6x or 30C for allergic coughing and swollen throat, a choking feeling that sometimes comes from breathing an irritant. Or a homeopathic combination for hayfever. Instead, I applied a cooling menthol roll-on called Stop Pain, intended for arthritis pain, to my forehead, above the eye brows, at the 3rd eye between the eyebrows, at the temples, at the back of my neck at sensitive points and at the center top of my head. It seemed to reduce swelling pain. I applied pressure to Lung 7 acupuncture point near the wrist known to redirect energy inward, downward – i.e., to reduce inflammation. At home and when I am unpacked I will start my spring cleansing routine with stimulating and bitter cleansing greens and herbs. That should reduce allergies whenever spring appears in New York.
Chrysanthemum Flower Tea Is the heat getting to you? Do you stare at a computer screen for hours then watch television to relax? Is your vision cloudy from overwork or summer hazy weather? Rubbing your eyes is not the answer. A cold shower gives only temporary relief. If your eyes are red, tired, and overworked, increase blood- and moisture- circulation to the eyes with a delightfully cooling summer tea made with Chinese chrysanthemum flowers.
The International Association for the Study of Pain (IASP) founded in 1973 is the leading professional forum for science, practice, and education in the field of pain. Membership in IASP is open to all professionals involved in research, diagnosis or treatment of pain. IASP has more than 6,500 members in 123 countries, 83 national chapters, and 14 Special Interest Groups. The biennial World Congress on Pain, the world’s largest pain-related gathering, is international and multidisciplinary. Plenary sessions, workshops, poster sessions, and refresher courses comprise the program, and attendees can receive continuing medical education credits. The 13th World Congress on Pain will take place in Montréal, Canada, from August 29 to September 2, 2010. Here are details. If I had endless money and time, I would travel to nearly every corner of the globe to study pain at these international gatherings of multidisciplinary health professionals. Here is the amazing 2010 schedule. (The Beijing conference in late October — East/West approaches to pain solutions–is intriguing, but so is the Nice, France conference on the same dates.)
