How to Get Rid of Stress - today I’ll give some Natural Pain Treatments that really work! Of course I say this with 15 years of naturopathic experience with a huge emphasis on nutrition and body work!

1.  Have you ever tried magnesium for stress and pain relief? There are many brands I find good (many are total rubbish - some simply are a waste of energy).  Why magnesium?  When we are stressed we chew up a huge number of minerals and vitamins at the speed of light.  We use heaps of magnesium, potassium and calcium, lots of B vitamins just for a start.  When our body is running on adrenalin, noradrenalin and cortisol we also can get quite acidic bodies (probably due to losing our minerals) which leads to chronic disease and chronic pain.  Our body used magnesium, calcium and potassium to help our bodies stay more alkaline, if we are deficient in magnesium and other minerals (like 70-80% of the human race) than our bodies slowly but surely start to be more and more acidic, which is linked to heart disease, cancers, arthritis and dementia!

Scary huh?  However, it’s easy to add magnesium.  I recommend a product called Metagenics Fibroplex or CardioX which both have an easy-to-absorb magnesium which gets into the cells pronto!  It makes us more alkaline, helps our nervous system heal faster, helps in reversing insulin resistance (a side-effects of long-term-stress) and much more!  It’s also excellent for Frozen Shoulder, Back and Shoulder Pain, Sciatic Pain and more.  It was originally developed for Fibromyalgia and it is fantastic for that long-term health problems! AND - if your body is magnesium deficient it can take up to 4 months at high doses to get enough into your system so that you’ve re-established levels in your muscles, bones, nerves and blood supply.

2.  Let’s briefly look at diet - the D word!!!  What does diet have to do with stress??  So Much!!!  Doctors really miss the boat here - there are connections with every hormonal  issue in our bodies… if we are not getting enough good fats (fish, avocados, LSA - linseed, sunflower and almonds) for essential fatty acids), green leafy vegetables for anti-oxidants and minerals, healthy organic and free-range meats, eggs and dairy products for protein, than we don’t have the ingredients to make our hormones.  If we eat too many carbohydrates - grains, starchy vegetables (potatoes, pumpkins, carrots - yes carrots!), sugars - natural and refined) than our body releases a lot more insulin, which increases adrenalin and cortisol (our stress hormones), makes us more acidic and throws our blood sugar levels into chaos.

As a general rule of thumb, for a long and healthy life, we need to have approximately even amounts, per meal of:  Fats + Protein = Carbohydrates…  Sound easy??  If we need to lose weight, we need to use the Keto Diet see www.ketodiet.com.au

I have found it is 100% possible to get Immediate Pain Relief for Back and Shoulder Pain and Frozen Shoulder with Frequency Specific Microcurrent - I’ve been using Frequency Specific Microcurrent in our pain clinic now for some time, and am very impressed with how quickly and immediately long term (and acute) pain symptoms can be relieved.  We use 2 Frequency Specific Microcurrent machines simultaneously - which may be why we get such good results.  Back and shoulder pain is often eliminated or improved with only 1 hour of treatment, and is compared to about 5 hours worth or remedial massage therapy, which the body would of course, be unable to tolerate.  Back and shoulder pain issues such as calcification, tendonitis, ligament damage, tearing of the muscles can all be helped with Frequency Specific Microcurrent.  Calcification of the joints and arthritis can be reduced dramatically quite quickly so that long-term issues such as Frozen Shoulder can be eliminated.  One such client in his early 70’s had 1 treatment on his frozen shoulder - barely unable to lift his arm to shoulder height on the day he walked into our clinic, the next day popped in to hold his arm above his head to let us know how well he was doing.  Fantastic results!

A few weeks ago I did several massage treatments with some difficult clients (health issues, not personality issues) and as a consequence had throbbing pain down my right arm for 4 hours or so.  I used the Frequency Specific Microcurrent, for 80 minutes which completely resolved the pain and it has never returned.

I also have a massage therapist in my clinic who does deep remedial massage and uses the machine at the end of a big day to repair ligament and tendon problems before they become long-term health problems, which she has suffered from in the past.  We use the machine to help solve Emotional Pain as well - we have used it for grief, anger, tears and depression, hormonal issues, self-esteem issues and fear… all with fantastic results.  So try to find a local Frequency Specific Microcurrent Practitioner - preferably one who uses two machines simultaneously to save you time and money and get a healthy, Natural Pain Treatment today!!

We have had many other types of pain relieved with Frequency Specific Microcurrent, many cases of Immediate Pain Relief for Back and Shoulder Pain and Frozen Shoulder, Knee Problems, Spinal Cord Pain, Fibromyalgia etc etc etc

Australia is needing Natural Pain Remedies more than ever before.

According to reports, back and shoulder pain is causing misery to 8 out of 10 Australians. They experience it from the time they wake up; sometimes they could not sleep at all because of the pain. Their work would suffer, as well as time for hobbies and sport activities.

Australia is not spared from the worldwide chronic pain problem. Worldwide, it is pegged at around 80% of the Earth’s population. Statistics have shown that one in every five person in Australia suffer from chronic pain once in their lifetime. 10 percent of those would suffer from debilitating pains. Everyone knows that people suffering from chronic pain would have sleepless nights and might miss work. Simple things such as lying down and sitting for a long period of time could be painful for them.

Musculoskeletal and connective tissue problems account for 45% of the long term pain in the country. 15% of Australia’s population is reported as suffering from recurrent issues with back and shoulder pain, as well as in the neck and spine area. Of this percentage, 39% is said to have suffered from work related conditions. In 2005, 31% of those suffering from pain resulted because of injury.

43% of the correspondents have reported that their back and shoulder pain comes weekly and 41% would suffer debilitating pains. The top ten reasons for back and shoulder pains in Australia are:

• stress/tension;
• injury;
• working in front of the computer;
• bad sleeping position;
• manual labor;
• bad posture;
• spinal problems;
• aging;
• overweight; and
• history of repetitive movements.

Back and shoulder pain can cause people to be irritable, frustrated, and easily distracted. At least 50% of those questioned said that it causes them to be depressed as well.

As for pain caused by depression, Australian government statistics tell us that everyone suffers from it once in their lifetime. This is similar to the statistics gathered in the United States and U.K. After heart disease, depression is the number killer in the world. We all know about the relationship of depression with pain. The two are relatively close with each other.

Treatment for pain and depression is available in Australia. There are many Natural Pain Treatment types that can cater to a client’s condition. There are various treatments readily available for Australians. They could try the natural methods such as massage, frequency specific microcurrent therapy, fantastic natural remedies, and other detoxification processes. Or they have the choice to try medical and scientific way of pain relief such as shock wave therapy, electric, and drugs. There are also self-help remedies such as exercise, meditation and deep breathing. There are ways to control your mind in order to help you relieve your pain.

Pain ranks high in the prevalence ranking in Australia, the first being visual disorders. Because of that, the total cost of chronic pain across the nation is pegged at around 34 billion dollars and still raising.  50% of the cost is being paid by the patients while 25% is through Federal and State governments. The amount is alarmingly high and funding should be made to address the needs of clients in pain.
