ManyLevels of Healing – Decreasing Inflammation and Acidity

Dr. Ken Best Chiropractor Los Angeles, presents a holistic chiropractor approach to pain and inflammation at the Saturday ManyLevels of Healing workshop.

We live in a country which has a pro-inflammatory diet.  This is because bad fats from meats and poultry produce inflammatory hormones in the body called PG-2.

PG-1 and PG-3 are anti-inflammatory hormones are produced from the ‘good’ fats which come from fish, flax seed and other cold weather nuts.  Omega 3 is converted directly to PG-3, so you fat from Salmon has great benefit to reducing inflammation in the body.  Omega 6 which is now more common in the American diet as we are trying to use ‘good’ vegetable oils, now far out ways the ratio of Omega 3 to 6.  Some say it should be equal and others say 1 to 3 respectively, however, our diets are more like 1 to 20.   This can cause blood clotting and hypertension issues.

I personally only supplement with Omega 3 as we usually get more than enough from out diets.  Barleans manufacturers a smoothie flavored Omega 3 in either fish or flax seed oil base, in lemon or strawberry flavor, and taste great and you shouldn’t get that repeat taste the whole day.  I personally take 1 tablespoon per day.  Studies show that eating lower doses from Salmon actually produce higher blood levels of Omega 3,  than from supplementation, so best to eat the real thing if you can!

Decrease the amount of your ‘bad’ fats while increasing the amount your Omega 3 fats, balanced or course with Omega 6 intake.

Watch your intake of night shade vegetables as in some individuals they create inflammation.

Allcat testing can be used to find particular foods that may be increasing inflammation in your body, ask our office about it.

Acidity:  if you wake up in more pain and feel better as the day goes on or after taking a shower, then you are probably too acidic.  Pick up some pH paper to test your salivary pH.  It should be around 7.4 pH.  A pH of 6 is 10 times too acidic and 5.0 is 100 times too acidic.

Increasing alkalinity to reverse  the acidity in your body:  eat more fruits and vegetables (except starches and night shades); decrease the amount of proteins, simple carbs, wheats, grains, cheese

Take 1 tablespoon of Braggs Apple Cider Vinegar in 8 ounces of water 1 to 2 times per day.

Cucumber salad:  cucumbers are very alkaline, use a good ‘fat’ and apple cider vinegar dressing

Add chlorophyll to your water; or get a water alkaline machine, check out my website with IonWays http://www.manylevelswater.com – I have the Athena in my home and my Dads.  If you have questions call my office.

ManyLevels of Healing – The Five Rites to the Ancient Secrets of the Fountain of Youth

Saturday Dr. Ken Best Chiropractor Los Angeles held the first “Ancient Secrets of the Fountain Youth” presented in ManyLevels of Healing.

The 5 rites can be found in Peter Kelder’s book of the same name.

The first rite  is spinning in and clockwise direction.  Arms are stretched out to the sides and parallel to the floor.  Start spinning clockwise while keeping your focus on your right thumb pointed up.  Goal 11 to 21 reps.  Turn at a speed that is comfortable for you and don’t rush.  When finished place hands palm together like a prayer pose at the base of the sternum close your eyes and feel the spin inside your body and feel the energy move up through all your chakras.

2ND Rite:  Start in downward dog, then breathe in and move into upward dog, flow with your breath, don’t hold it, and then breathe out as  you move back into downward dog and repeat.  Goal:  11 to 21 reps. (an odd number preferred for all exercises)

3rd Rite:  While kneeling upright with the body, place chin on chest, breathe in and as you do so, move your head back into an arch while opening the chest up towards the sky.  The arch is opening through the thoracic region, not the lumbar.  Hands support you by being placed on the back of your thighs.  Really pinch the scapulas backward and down to open up the heart chakra.  From the arch back position breathe out and return to the starting position and repeat.  Goal:  11 to 21 reps.

Take rest in child’s pose, this is good counter pose to the previous to extension exercises.  Rest there for 30 to 60 seconds.

4th rite:  Table pose:  start seated with legs out straight and body in 90 degree position and the hands next to the buttock, fingers forward, close to the greater trochanter.  As you breathe in head come back to neutral position as the hips rise up and the knees go into a 90 degree position to the lower legs and thighs (forming a table) arms also 90 degrees to the body.  Breathe out and return starting position.  Goal 11 – 21 reps.

5th rite:  If you have a hot, painful low back or disc problem, use the modified position (I always use the modified position, which is the knees slightly bent).  Start lying flat arms at the side hands palm down and next to buttocks or slight under them if necessary.  Raise the head to bring your chin to the chest, then breathe in as you raise the legs up and preferably over the head, bring the feet over the head.  You can use arm push to help you.  Bent knees if you have a low back problem, or omit this until your back feels strong enough to handle this exercise.

Breathe out and return to the starting position and rest head on floor.  Always remember to  bring chin to chest before starting.  Goal:  11 to 21 reps.

That finishes the 5 rites.
