Life Wave Energy Patches

Thanks to LifeWave patches, I now have something in common with David Beckham, Donovan Bailey and several other world Olympic Athletes. Although I can’t score goals or set athletic records, I do have increased energy thanks to this leading edge technology which is setting the sports and health worlds on fire. Enhanced and balanced energy are giving these athletes an edge and now the general public can benefit too.

Created by inventor David Schmidt who began working on the LifeWave phenomena ten years ago, this nanotechnology causes the non-invasive patch to communicate with the human body and re-direct energy through various acupuncture points. This breakthrough technology has been coined “software for the human body”. Comprised of amino acids, oxygen, and water, the patches are placed directly on the skin. The sticky surfaces of the patches cling to the skin, lasting up to three and four days at a time. Though nothing actually passes through the skin, the patches go to work almost immediately, with increased energy and better physical performances being noted very quickly.

Athletes such as Beckham, Bailey, and Sam Cassell of the L.A. Clippers are playing their sports with more stamina and better results. Olympic Coaches such as Richard Quick are instructing their entire teams to patch up, with stellar results. The US FDA has done tests on LifeWave products and approved use of these patches for Olympic and pro sporting events – athletes love them because there are no chemicals involved and no scandals to worry about.

After wearing the patches for several days, I took samples to my naturopath and asked her to test the patches and let me know her thoughts. Upon reading the history of LiveWave and the product information sheet, she responded that these patches might not just benefit the general public, but could help patients with more fragile immune systems. She also noticed the change in my own energy (something I had been working to increase for several months) and offered suggestions on where best to place the patches for optimum results. I no longer feel drained, like I must fall into bed at the end of the day – that alone is proof enough for me that these patches work.

Controlled studies of LiveWave have also shown that the patches contribute to fat burning, up to as much as 20%. Testimonials from athletes and active individuals talk about having more energy, better performances, increased weight loss, and improved health.

LifeWave patches can be purchased in Canada through Winning Team Solutions, a direct marketing company based in Whistler, B.C. Orders can be purchased online www.winningteamsolutions.com and arrive within 10 days. Each box of patches lasts 30 days and costs approximately $100. LifeWave has a 100% satisfaction guarantee.

Salt Therapy for Respiratory Diseases

The benefits of salt therapy (Halotherapy and Speleotherapy) are well known in Europe. In fact, it is a treatment that has been practiced in the old salt mines of Eastern Europe since the early 19th century. Halotherapy uses dry aerosol micro particles of salt to treat respiratory diseases and replicates the conditions of speleotherapy. Salin Plus, developed by a Romanian inventor, Constantin Pascu, reproduces the speleotherapy micro environment in your home and brings new hope in the natural treatment of chronic respiratory diseases.

The device is an air salinizer using forced ionization of the indoor air by salt sublimation. It places tiny salt micro crystals and negative ions of salt into the indoor air which penetrates deep into the lungs and clears the respiratory system. Salin uses only natural middle Miocene salt from the Transylvanian Praid salt mine, untreated by processing technology.

Clinical studies have shown that the inhaled saline destroys bacteria, helps fluidize the mucus, absorbs water, and has antiinflammatory properties. It restores normal transport of mucous and unclogs blockages in the bronchi and bronchioles leading to rapid elimination of the residual tar and foreign allergens.

Edema of the nasal mucous membrane is diminished, leading to widening of the airway passages, improving sinus drainage and reducing snoring. Edema of the eustachian tube, which causes ear infection, is also diminished, leading to better drainage and better aeration behind the tympanic membrane.

Additionally, the salt therapy is beneficial in the treatment of: Asthma and Chronic Bronchitis; COPD; Allergic Rhinitis (Hay Fever); Cystic Fibrosis; Sinusitis; Ear Infections; Smoker’s Cough; Various acute or chronic respiratory diseases.

This product has also been shown to reduce snoring and activate better sleep due to better blood oxygenation from clearer airway passages. It also boosts the immunity of the whole respiratory system against infections, flu and allergies.

Historically, salt therapy has been found to humidify the bronchial secretions, reducing broncho-spasm and facilitating elimination of residual tar, phlegm and other allergens, and at the same time improves the quality of indoor air.

Salt therapy is a natural therapy that does not involve any risk and can be adapted to any living space; however; this is not a substitute for medical treatment and should only be used as an adjunct, helping to improve quality life, reducing antibiotics, steroid intake,  and decreasing the frequency of asthma attacks.

Ayurvedic Triphala Formula Revitalizes and Detoxifies

“When in doubt, give triphala”, could easily be the Ayurvedic motto because it has so many medicinal properties that there’s no condition that won’t benefit from its use. Triphala (meaning “three fruits” from the harad, behada, and amla trees in India), is a favourite formula of Master Herbalist Francis Ashwaganda. He compares its influence to that of a mother or nurse in its healing actions.

According to the book Planetary Herbology, the specific value of this plant lies in its action as a regulator of elimination and a revitalizer of the entire body, both of which are greatly needed in our constipated and fatigued Western society. Regular daily use of Triphala will promote good digestion, increase red blood cells and haemoglobin, and aid in the removal of undesirable fat (in Eastern medical traditions, body fat is considered as mucous, and one of the stronger actions of triphala herbs is removal of mucous from the tissues). Triphala can also eliminate what is called “deficient heat” in Chinese medicine – a feeling of heat and burning in the chest, legs, palms, and soles of the feet, which in Western medicine often indicates a B vitamin deficiency. Taken regularly, triphala promotes the absorption and utilization of the B vitamins and will completely relieve the symptoms of deficient heat.

Considering triphala’s tonic, cleansing, and blood purifying actions, it has one more important application – as a strengthener of the eyes. It may be taken daily as an eyewash, which strengthens the vision, counteracts many eye defects, and eliminates redness and soreness.

Of interest to women is the fact that, while triphala is not specific for female complaints, it is unsurpassed in the realms of ridding the body of old amassed ama (mucous), which makes it useful for menstrual problems. By clearing stagnation from the liver and uterus, it gets things flowing smoothly again.

In Toronto health food stores, customers can choose from Triphala in two different forms:
1) 108 vegecaps by Ayurveda Organics distributed by www.rawelements.ca; or 90 vcaps by Pukka Herbs
2) certified organic  powder  200 grams by advantagehealthmatters.com. One book recommends a 1/2 tsp of the powder at night, just before bed, as a daily regimen if you can stand the taste. For those who prefer not to taste its astringent bitterness, 1-2 capsules or tablets per day is recommended.

Available at The Big Carrot Wholistic Dispensary in Toronto (416-466-8432) and at selected health food stores across Canada.
