Introduce yourself, a new approach to healing has reduced or eliminated the huge Fibromyalgia symptoms sometimes in less than three minutes. That seems an unusual claim to be especially if you have tried everything and nothing works. However, a growing number of Western doctors of EFT's realised usefulness. Eric Robins, MD States:

"One day the medical profession will wake up and realize that unresolved emotional issues are the main cause of 85% of all diseases." If you do it tools are healing one of their primary EFT... as it is for me. "

EFT is a new technique, which lends the much-heralded discoveries of Albert Einstein (everything including your body consists of energy) and the ancient wisdom of Chinese acupuncture. EFT is essentially an emotional version of acupuncture except needles are not necessary. Instead certain release points are stimulated by tapping you with the fingertips. Further, the basics of EFT can be learned by anyone and can be self-applied (in minutes).

EFT is sanft-- for people with fibromyalgia
Who can be very sensitive to touch.

Everyone with fibromyalgia, knows that emotional turmoil and stress symptoms only make worse. EFT is so perfect for people with fibromyalgia. EFT is deals with hopelessness, often in connection with the illness and the unresolved emotions from the past. If these emotional components are resolved, the pain of Fibromyalgie-melts-often permanently.

From a specific case on the EFT website

By Gary Craig

For about nine years, Janet was almost constant pain of fibromyalgia when we met in a Conference of EFT. EFT was sporadic for a few weeks and has improved; instead of the constant pain, your pain would come and go. She was looking for total relief.

I agreed to work with Janet and I concentrated on doing EFT for emotions that your Fibromyalgia can be fueling. Fibromyalgia (and most other physical discomfort) are only physical manifestations (symptoms) of unresolved fear, trauma, denial, anger, guilt and other emotional causes for me.

We spent 40 minutes together to do EFT an intense emotional theme from their past. Just thinking about the problem was difficult disturb. She felt calmer after 30 minutes of EFT. She knew that you had made, significant emotional progress and your body easier felt, when you went. Janet felt like you had a good start and training tap on committing emotional problems in addition to the painful symptoms.

Some time after the Conference, I heard from Janet, who said: "the EFT is just working great for me, it's night 13 fall asleep without the pain for the invisible chronic illness (fibromyalgia) and this is a phenomenal record for me." Since 1991, the outbreak of the disease, I have two pain didn't free nights in a row. "Janet reported occasional minor stiffness in the morning that remotely taps with EFT." It is painless all day and all night!

Addressing Janet gave their a level of both physical and emotional relief emotional problems with EFT has experienced for many years. No drugs, injections or side effects, either. Here in EFT country, this kind of thing happens all too often, call it coincidence.

Please note that, in addition to improving the symptoms of fibromyalgia with EFT, there has been a consistently effective healing tool for hundreds of other physical, mental and emotional disorders .While a full description of EFT on beyond the scope of this article free EFT get started package, including free download is can learn, all the basics of the EFT Manual (it includes all the basics).

Best of natural sinus congestion relief

If you’re one of the millions of people who suffer from chronic sinus headaches, today’s column is for you. Several weeks ago my wife was in the throes of a severe sinus headache that had lasted several days. Nothing we tried seemed to help drain her sinuses at all. That is, until she came across a home remedy on the Internet that was attributed to one Dr. Lisa DeStefano. Prior to trying it out we were both highly skeptical. But that soon changed. My Healthy Monday tip of the week is to apply rhythmic pressure to your ethmoid and vomer bone in order to promote sinus drainage. Details to follow.

After witnessing the seemingly miraculous effects of this simple exercise I decided to try to track down Dr. DeStefano. I needed to know if this was a fluke experience or perhaps just a placebo effect. To be honest I still wasn’t convinced that the information we tried out of desperation was legitimate. I was pleasantly surprised to find that Dr. DeStefano was in fact an authority in osteopathic manipulative medicine. In fact, she is the chairperson and assistant professor at the Michigan State University College of Osteopathic Medicine. That initial communication lead to the following interview.

JP - Can you please give us a brief overview of the anatomy of the sinuses and how it relates to sinus headaches?

Dr. DeStefano - There are four pairs of paranasal sinuses each is named for the bone which they are in. The largest is the maxillary sinus located in the maxillary bone or cheekbones under the eyes. This is typically where most people experience pain when they have a sinus headache. The ethmoid sinuses are located between the eyes and nose. The sphenoid sinuses are located further back in the head behind the nose and eyes. The frontal sinuses are located above the eyebrows in the forehead. Each sinus is lined with soft tissue that produces mucous. All the sinuses drain into the back of the nose and into the throat. If the sinus cannot drain properly it becomes congested and signals to the brain that there is pressure within the sinus which can be interpreted as pain.

JP - How does applying rhythmic pressure to the ethmoid and vomer bone affect sinus congestion?

Dr. DeStefano - In the living person all the bones of the face have a varying capability to be deformed under pressure. Much like your rib cage can move if you press on one of its bones. Gently pressing the area between the eyebrows deforms the frontal bone and the ethmoid which sits right behind it. Alternately thrusting the tongue upwards on the hard palate deforms the maxilla and the vomer which sits right above it. This rhythmic volleying of subtle gentle motion allows the other bones that surround the sinuses to begin to billow a bit. It might be a small amount, but this motion is often enough to push fluid out of the sinuses. 20-30 seconds of gentle rhythmic billowing is all that is necessary.

JP - Is this exercise something you feel comfortable recommending in your own practice? If so, what type of success have you found?

Dr. DeStefano - I do suggest this in my practice; from my experience most everyone has some short increase in post nasal drainage as a result of this technique. Not everyone has relief however. Much of the success depends on the overall plasticity of the bones in the face and the degree of mucous membrane inflammation.

JP - Are there other natural techniques that can provide additional support when needed?

Dr. DeStefano - When my patients have chronic sinus problems I begin by treating them using cranial osteopathic techniques thus giving them the capability to naturally drain their sinuses. I often will suggest they stop using drying agents such as Sudafed because of the risk of rebound congestion and because it is very difficult to dry a chamber that is meant to be moist, often times what is left is sludge which will attract more moisture from the mucous membranes. I like salt water sprays and Neti pots as they will gently decongest the nasal membranes allowing the sinuses openings to become wider. These however cannot affect the sinuses themselves.

JP - Do you incorporate dietary or environmental interventions as part of a holistic treating plan?

Dr. DeStefano - Diet plays a huge role in congestion of the body in general. High inflammatory diets can have a detrimental effect on one’s sinuses if they have a predisposition to sinus congestion issues. I suggest my patients eat a low inflammatory diet regardless of their condition. Environmental factors also play a large role in sinus problems, but often are more difficult to control or eliminate. In these situations one must eliminate the global inflammatory influence on the body by eating a low inflammatory diet.

Saline Nasal Irrigation May Reduces Sinusitis Symptoms

Source: Arch Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg. 2007;133(11):1115-1120. (a)

Dr. DeStefano also offered this concise, step-by-step guide to applying her technique: “Forget Sudafed. An easier, quicker, and cheaper way to relieve sinus pressure is by alternately and gently thrusting your tongue against the roof of your mouth, then pressing between your eyebrows with one finger. This rhythmic pressure causes the ethmoid and vomer bone, which runs through the nasal passages to the mouth, to rock back and forth. The motion loosens congestion: after 20 seconds, you will feel your sinuses start to drain.”

Modern science likewise supports incorporating neti pots and/or saline irrigation into natural sinus care regimens. The latest study on the matter was published in December 2009. It found that saline nasal irrigation provided significant improvements in the quality of life of children with acute sinusitis. The authors of the study noted symptomatic amelioration of cough, natural congestion, rhinorrhea (runny nose), sleeplessness and throat itching. (1,2,3)

While researching Dr. DeStefano’s comments about the utility of anti-inflammatory diets I discovered a scientific paper that suggests that alternate day fasting (ADF) may be a good way to promote sinus health. Researchers from Louisiana State University Medical Center report that rapid improvements in chronic sinusitis are often found in patients who adhere to an ADF program. Hopefully, future studies will continue to validate the link between diet and sinusitis scientifically. In the meantime, it’s good to know that there are safe and viable tools available courtesy of fine physicians such as Dr. Lisa DeStefano. (4)

Update: November 2010 - The concept of an anti-inflammatory diet is the focus of an upcoming edition of the Journal of Obesity. An advanced review of the paper points out three dietary changes that have occurred the over the past 30 years: a) increased consumption of refined carbohydrates; b) higher intake of refined vegetable oil (a source of omega-6 fatty acids); c) reduced consumption of long-chain omega-3 fatty acids, such as those found in fish. The authors of the piece, which include the famed integrative physician Dr. Barry Sears, propose that this specific dietary shift has elevated the levels of “silent inflammation” in the population at large. They note that this eating pattern almost certainly results in higher post-meal blood sugar and insulin production, increased cardiovascular risk and obesity. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg. In short, the researchers define this modern diet as “The Perfect Nutritional Storm”. If you want to avoid getting caught in this downpour, consider cutting back on your intake of refined foods and emphasize whole foods that provide a more natural proportion of omega-3 to omega-6 fatty acids instead.
