DEFINITION OF RIT/PROLOTHERAPY & PROLOZONE®

Regenerative Injection Therapy/(RIT) also known as prolotherapy or sclerotherapy is an interventional pain management technique that repetitively provides a mild neurolytic effect followed by a complex restorative process with biochemically induced collagen regeneration. It is also called Reconstructive Therapy, It is a non-surgical ligament reconstruction that accelerates the rate of cartilage growth. This therapy is effective because it addresses and eliminates the cause of chronic pain arising from connective tissue such as ligaments, tendons and cartilage. It is an injection technique that has been shown to cause growth of cells and tissue to stabilize and strengthen weakened joints, cartilage, ligaments and tendons. It rebuilds and strengthens the complete joint structure even in patients with no cartilage. This therapy may eliminate the need for joint replacement which usually takes three or more months to recover and costs thousands. Some  family doctors prescribe pain killers, NSAIDs and Cortisone shots which offer only temporary relief.

The term prolotherapy is derived from the word prolo, short for proliferation, as the therapy is intended to proliferate tissue growth

in the damaged area. This is also called Regenerative Injection Therapy (RIT), since it is recognized that it extends beyond the proliferative stage-now understood as only the second stage of regenerative healing process. The idea behind this therapy dates back more than 2000 years to Hippocrates, who used it to treat soldiers with injured shoulders. Instead of

injections Hippocrates used a hot poker, which he speared into the shoulder joint, causing and stimulating the body to repair itself of inflammation.

The injection is placed into the damaged ligament or tendon at the point where it attaches to the bone. The injection produces an inflammation, which increases blood flow, swelling, and pain. The body then launches a course of repair and healing. The inflammation tricks the body into thinking another injury has occurred, so it sends in macrophages, which are cells that ingest and destroy the irritant solution. These cells clean up the area. The body then sends in fibroblasts, which are cells that help build fibrous tissue. The fibroblasts excrete collagen, a protein that makes the ligaments denser and stronger. The stronger ligaments provide more support for the joints and alleviates  the pain.

An Introduction to the Benefits of a Professionally Supervised Fast

By Dr. Alan Goldhamer

When the body is provided with the requirements of health, including appropriate diet, environment, activity and psychology, optimum health can be maintained. If these requirements are not adequately provided, health will be compromised.

Often, the best means of facilitating the restoration of health is therapeutic fasting. It allows the body to create a unique physiological healing response that is unparalleled.

Therapeutic fasting is defined as the complete abstinence from all substances except pure water in an environment of complete rest.

There are no substitutes. When therapeutic fasting is indicated, nothing else can be considered “just as good.”

Going without food ­-­­ even for a few days ­­- while working, exercising, worrying, etc. is not therapeutic fasting. A noisy, high stress and/or non-supportive environment will not provide the body the opportunity to maximize the self-healing mechanisms. To maximize the benefits of therapeutic fasting, complete rest is essential.

Eating only certain foods or drinking only juices is not therapeutic fasting. The physiological and clinical impact and benefits are different. This is not to say that juice diets or so-called elimination diets do not have a role. But they are not the same as therapeutic fasting.

Comprehensive lifestyle changes including a better diet and more exercise can lead not only to a better physique, but also to swift and dramatic changes at the genetic level, U.S. researchers said on Monday.

In a small study, the researchers tracked 30 men with low-risk prostate cancer who decided against conventional medical treatment such as surgery and radiation or hormone therapy.

The system in which you invest yourself is the system in which you believe or in which you come to believe.

Because investing into a system of thought, or paradigm, challenges an identity and forms a future identity, some personal narrative could be beneficial. My father is a somewhat of a holistic dentist in the suburbs of Atlanta whose free-thinking mind and spirit has been one of his greatest gifts. I grew up on a ten-acre lake with 16 acres of woods and pasture land with cows along with a vegetable garden. My parent’s house, built on the cusp of the energy crisis in 1980, had passive solar heat and light. My mom made clothes and fresh-milled bread for our family. Daily wholesome nutrition and supplements were also important items in our household.

Weight Management
Preoccupation with weight control is reaching new heights as the obesity crisis is approaching epidemic proportions. The prevalence of adults who are officially considered to be overweight is at an all-time high. Approximately 65% of American adults are overweight, and around 30% are officially obese. The danger in being overweight comes from the complications of carrying excess weight, which include increased risk of developing heart disease, diabetes, cancer, high blood pressure and high cholesterol. People often look toward fad diets or quick solutions in order to lose weight, but it is often longterm lifestyle changes involving sensible dietary changes and exercise that help to support lifelong weight management. As weight control becomes an ever-larger concern, more attention is being directed toward the effects of yoga on long-term weight management. When people begin taking up yoga, they often notice that they are able to lose weight through a regular practice….
