S.H.I.N.E. Away Your Pain
New This Week: October 24, 2012
Dear Readers,
With my "How to Stop the Pain" segment on The Ricki Lake Show scheduled to air this Friday, I thought it would be a good time to review a few thoughts you should know about on natural approaches for managing pain.
The first thing to always remember is that pain is not your enemy! Just as your car's dashboard lights up to tell you it needs an oil change, pain can be a helpful early warning that your body has a health issue that needs attention. Annoying though they may be, both signals are a way to get your attention so that you can deal with a situation before it becomes worse. So feelings of pain can actually be your friend.
The difficulty comes in when you can't identify the root cause of your pain. The sting from a paper cut has an obvious source, but other pains — particularly when they're chronic — can be the result of very subtle heath issues that aren't so easy to pinpoint. This is particularly true in folks who have fibromyalgia or chronic fatigue syndrome, and it's one of the reasons I created the S.H.I.N.E. protocol.
Remember that S.H.I.N.E. stands for Sleep, Hormonal support, treating Infections & inflammation, Nutritional support, and Exercise. When you take proper care of yourself in each of these fives areas, you create a truly holistic approach to helping your body avoid unnecessary pain from hidden causes. Let's briefly review each and remind you of a few natural alternatives that can help you stay pain free.
Love & blessings,
Dr. T

Dangerous Driver
As a senior citizen was driving down the freeway, his phone rang. Answering, he heard his wife's voice urgently warning him, "Herman, I just heard on the news that there's a car going the wrong way on 280. Please be careful!"
"Heck," said Herman, "It's not just one car. It's hundreds of them!"
