Foot Reflexology Chart: Map for Healing

Of all the natural means available to help with fibromyalgia, which do you see as the most rewarding? I have not tried reflexology, so I'll give it a go. Because I have a bad hamstring, near the groin, and a hiatal hernia, I am awfully reluctant to do strenuous exercise. Even walking long distances can cause my leg to hurt, and I've had so many cortisone shots in it that I have finally given up on them. I do a relaxation technique that I call letting go. Also, I do try to meditate similar to you, where I attempt not to think about anything. It's still not very easy for me. I'll keep trying. So much to think about in regard to diet, stress, exercise, herbals, medications, etc. It's a lot to take in. I sure wish I had some help. I'll keep coming back to see what more I can learn from you. Thanks.

My son experiences hearing loss, like that of being under water, when he does squats with heavy weights. It lasts for more than several weeks.

Dear Ellen, It is interesting that I just came across this website yesterday regarding a simple small device which shoots air into the Eustachian tube to help to equalize the air pressure. It was originally developed by a medical doctor for children with ear problems, because a growing child has a smaller Eustachian tube which can create problems with recurring ear infections for which antibiotic treatment is ineffective in most cases. This new device was also recommended for people who go scuba diving and do underwater sports. So, if your son's hearing loss is not due to any more serious problems such as blood pressure etc, then you might want to visit this website to find out more about this simple effective method:> Ear Popper.

Can hurting heal spur pain cause my shoulders to ache?

Dear Don, heel spurs are caused by a laying down of extra calcium deposits in an area where calcium is not supposed to be. Often times, trauma, injury, flat feet, or inappropriate shoes can cause this problem. Because of the strategic function of the foot with it's immense weight bearing load, it is a common medically observed phenomena. If there is no overt cause, such as mentioned with trauma, flat feet, or inappropriate shoes, then it could be that you may have a tendency to lay down calcium in soft tissue areas and joints. This can be due to an error in metabolism of calcium breakdown, either too little calcium or too much calcium, or lack of an enzyme to dissolve the calcium, or an excessive intake of inorganic calcium, or improper dietary sources creating an alkaline environment in the body which predisposes to this condition. If you are concerned about calcium deposits in your shoulders, you might want to visit your doctor for a complete check-up, examination, and testing.
