Natural Treatments Are Time Consuming – What’s the Big Deal?

Friday, May 25th, 2007

People who have been loyal to drugs and medicines have one good reason to criticize natural treatment methods. They say that obtaining well-being in a natural manner is a time consuming process and doesn’t complement their busy life schedule. It’s a pity that people don’t have the time to reclaim their lost health in a natural way.

Apart from some patients, health experts too publicize allopathic medicines as the easy way to get rid of various health issues. In fact, the way these health experts laud allopathic medicines above everything else has encouraged people to give less importance to natural healing methods.

Most people suffering from high blood pressure choose traditional medication rather than natural exercises and treatments. According to them, it is easy to follow the traditional route of medications, as it completely matches their way of living a busy life. Blood pressure is not the only issue, as people suffering from other problems too have their own valid reasons to rely on medicines.

Greeted By A Bear!

Thursday, May 24th, 2007

I’m back in Loveland, Colorado. After over a month on the roade, I’m back at the Rocky Mountains High. What a good feeling.

I told you a few days ago that I’ve been camping in a beautiful forest  in Pennsylvania for the last couple of weeks. But I didn’t tell you about the highpoint of the trip.

I was greeted by a real black bear!

Every once in a while on these camping trips, we see a bear from a distance. But never have I been so close that I could almost touch him.

I was walking alone pretty deep in the woods when he came galloping towards me. He obviously didn’t notice me till he was around 30 feet away from me. When he did, he completely stopped and looked me straight in the eyes.

Let me tell you something about black bears. They look so real, they almost do not fit into their surroundings. Remember the old 50’s  movies. The background was often pasted in in such an obvious way that the characters didn’t really fit in there.

It was a little bit like that with the bear. He was more real than the trees around him. I know this doesn’t really make any sense but that’s the only way I can describe it. His black shiny fur was darker than anything I’ve ever seen before. Darker than a night.

So what do you do when you’re faced with a 560 pound black bear?

Well, as you may have surmised, I was fascinated, not scared. Black bears are not dangerous at all, unless you threaten them. So what did I do?

The same as I do when greeted by a good friend. I said “Hi, how is it going!”

The bear looked at me for about a minute and then galloped away. Didn’t say a word :-)

End of story… almost end of story!

When flying back to Colorado today, I began to think about this experience. And as I thought about it, a new idea crossed my mind. An idea that could maybe help eliminate worries and depression and also insomnia.

I’ve been studying these conditions a lot throughout the years. They are of course closely related to many of the issues I address in my health guides, such as snoring and sleep apnea, TMJ and bruxing, stress and  hypertension and other conditions.

Those of you that have read some of my posts and used my programs know how much believe I’ve in positive thinking. And how the mind creates either positive or negative health flow in the body.

Your body, for example, takes in and processes many times the amount of oxygen when you  think positively versus negatively. This is one of the key factor in curing Fibromyalgia.

Anyway, the idea I got to day is totally different from any positive thinking exercise or visualization method I’ve ever heard of before. It forces the BODY into a positive flow, which then changes the mindset. Hard to explain, especially since I haven’t really understood it completely myself.

But if it becomes a reality, it could drastically change how people deal with depression, worries and the tension that keeps millions of people up all night, every night.

You’re at the grass roots.

I’ve never shared an idea at such an early stage before. It’s only because of the positive vibrations I’ve felt from everybody reading this blog that I’m mentioning it so early. I would love to hear where YOU would like me to focus this method on. Please comment below.

Plus… have you ever seen a bear?

Warm regards,

Update On Migraine And Headaches.

Tuesday, May 22nd, 2007

I published a detailed article last Saturday on the cause of migraine and headaches and how to cure these painful conditions. If you didn’t read it yet, you can find it at…

http://christiangoodman.com/?p=27

I got great responds from this article. Many folks said it helped them a lot.

What got me to write today’s update on this previous article was that several people asked the same  question on a common misunderstanding about migraine and headaches.

It was about tension headaches. Or should I say muscle tension headaches.

You see, tension in the muscles around the neck and the head is one of the most common trigger of headaches. Tension headache is however migraine, just like any other typer of headaches. My stop snoring program and TMJ program are very effective in dealing with this type of headaches.

In fact, it was because of the great responds I received from clients who had used these programs that I decided to research the migraine problem. My exercises often gave great headache relief (plus eliminating the conditions they were designed for), but there was something missing.

Little by little, I began to realize, the muscle tension that caused headaches was only a small part of a big problem. I discovered 4 other factors that had just as much impact on migraine, or even more.

That brings us to another question I received several times this weekend, related to the same subject. Does my migraine and headache program include the same techniques as my stop snoring and TMJ program?

The answer is mostly NO!

There are a few exercises in the migraine and headache program that are also found in the other programs but it is 95% different.

The migraine and headache program is mostly focused on small lifestyle changes that cause big changes in your overall well being. These small changes permanently eliminate headaches from your life.

Hope this was helpful,

Christian Goodman

Headaches and Migraine –Underlying Cause and Treatment

Saturday, May 19th, 2007

Both headaches and migraines have the same root cause. However, most people suffering from headaches are not aware of this. If the frequency of headaches is higher, you can easily place yourself in the category of patients suffering from migraine. The main aim of this article is to make you familiar with the underlying cause of frequent headaches and migraine.

Where Does It Start?

Our brain has many different parts, and the hypothalamus is one of them. It is a small part of the brain where headaches are often triggered. The hypothalamus acts as the central control unit that controls different activities in the body without involving the other parts of the brain. For example, regulation of body temperature, various metabolic processes, and even the emotions and sense organs are under the control of the hypothalamus.

Triggers Responsible for Headaches

Technically termed triggers and certain actions performed by the human body or by the surroundings are responsible for headaches. The hypothalamus considers these triggers as threats to the human body. This means that the hypothalamus is an acutely sensitive part of the brain.

How to Obtain Natural Well-being

Tuesday, May 15th, 2007

Have you ever wondered how people in the past used to work out, when there were no gyms and sophisticated workout machines? It was the time when there were no huge clusters of concrete buildings, and more acres of land were ruled by the Mother Nature. Greenery and fresh air have an irresistible appeal that gives a natural boost to one’s overall well-being. Even today, the significance of working out in a natural backdrop can’t be beaten by exercising with machines and in gymnasiums.

Health experts who regularly come up with health improvement programs often get their ideas from natural workout campaigns. If you personally meet a health program maker, he or she would talk endlessly about the significance of jogging or cycling in a park. I have known a number of experts who actually camp in the woods to obtain a regular dose of good health.

But you don’t have to go to the forests for natural workouts- though doing so once or twice a year is wonderful. Your own backyard garden or a public park is the place to let nature make your workouts effective. Green grass, plants and trees, and blooming fresh flowers contribute to the usefulness of a natural workout.

Using Medicines to Fight Depression

Monday, May 14th, 2007

Many physicians and medical scientists consider depression medications as the possible alternative to deal with attacks of depression. Experts consider such medications necessary, since multiple lives are in serious danger due to intense or clinical depression.

Death and Disability Due to Medication

Recent reports released by the American Medical Association indicate that no less than one million Americans were victims of pharmaceutical drugs. Many of them suffered from major disabilities.

Medical Ads Dominating Media

The print, electronic and web media are so dominated by medical ads that almost all of us are subjected to blatant pharma promotions. No other sector of the commercial world has been able to use the media as well as Big Pharma.

Things You Are Not Aware about Snoring

Wednesday, May 9th, 2007

It is unfortunate on the part of snoring treatment programs and program providers that they don’t highlight some important things that a patient must know. For example, you may not be told about the time frame within which snoring usually occurs. The main underlying causes and some effective treatments for snoring too are unknown to many people suffering from this condition. Let us learn about all these things one by one.

Early night snoring is most common among the people. Besides, people often snore during REM sleep, which is commonly referred to as ‘dream sleep’. This is the time when people dream, mainly about the happenings during the day. An individual might go into the dream sleep twice or thrice a night, and each period is long in duration. Also, REM sleep occurs during early morning hours. As such, people mainly snore between early night and early morning.
