Review of The Gabriel Method: The Revolutionary DIET-FREE Way to Totally Transform Your Body -By Simon Freedman

It seems that every day, somebody is coming up with some kind of new solution to the problem of obesity.

I was doing some unrelated research on the internet when (quite accidentally I assure you) I stumbled upon The Gabriel Method. I had no idea what it was about (I didn’t even know it had to do with weight loss until I read further on).

I was getting ready to throw it into the pile of products that promised so much only to deliver the same old rehashed systems, programs and products that everyone else is trying to sell us with some new marketing edge, or a 30 minute infomercial, when some of the characteristics started to catch my eye: ...no dieting? ...fat switch? ...FAT? Anyway, since The Gabriel Method is an inexpensive book at Amazon I decided to buy it. After all, what did I have to lose …10 bucks?

I got the book about a week ago and started reading it. It does shed new light on the problem of obesity giving us a thorough understanding of what makes us fat and how we can reverse the process by giving the body what it really needs to be more efficient at burning it. I saw it as a breath of fresh air for those of us who have been trying to lose weight with little or no success, so that is how The Gabriel Method in Review was born.

What Makes This Book So Special?

In the book, Jon Gabriel clearly explains why you are fat and what you can do about it. He seems very interested in making his readers successful in their weight loss endeavors. I guess it’s because he was once in our shoes. But on that tragic September 11, he suddenly realized the marvelous gift of life that he had been abusing for so long. He was scheduled to board one of the planes that were hijacked on that fatal day, but there was a last minute change of plans and he boarded another flight instead. This was an awakening for him and he suddenly felt disgusted at how he had been treating his body …at one time, he actually weighed over 400 pounds! He then started doing research and his discoveries helped him achieve his ideal weight in over 2 years ...without dieting! Bear in mind, though, that 'without dieting' does not mean eating just anything you want and expecting to lose weight. He refers to eating foods that really satisfy the body, consequently reducing your cravings for foods that make you gain weight.

The Key to the Whole Method

Like a high percentage of Americans, Jon was caught up in what he calls the Famine and Temperature, or FAT – trap. By studying biochemistry, Gabriel learned that our bodies have an internal logic that determines how fat or thin we will be at any given time and it is impossible to lose weight effectively without understanding and working with this logic. You can make your body want to become thinner, and struggling to make yourself lose weight is not the answer. This struggling actually produces stress which can make you gain weight instead instead of losing it.

With The Gabriel Method, you learn:

That your body has a reason why it's holding on to weight--and it's not your fault.
How to eliminate the emotional and mental reasons your body holds on to weight in just 10 minutes a day.
That fat is a protective barrier that our mind believes is helping to protect us.
That if you can change that belief, you can change your body
How to choose healthy, nutritious foods that nourish the cells in your body, not starve them.
How to make delicious shakes and smoothies, and super-power supplements, that can jump start your success.
The simple way you can train your mind and body to work with your goal of health, not against it.

It only took Jon two-and-a-half years to lose 225 pounds. He went from 409 pounds to 184, without suffering, dieting, or worrying excessively about his body. Also, his skin tightened up instead of flubbing and now he looks like a person who has been thin his whole life.

Conclusion:
I felt I should write The Gabriel Method in Review as this method was a real eye-opener and I notice that I am more in control of what I eat and how I think about food. The problem of obesity for most of us is that what our bodies are craving is one thing and what we are feeding it is another. The result is that we are always hungry again after a short while. It is important to give your body what it really needs and not what you think it wants to stop the vicious cycle. The book also teaches you how to deal with stress and I can now say that eating no longer controls my life. I used to have an internal debate and feelings of guilt every time I wanted to eat something. In the end, I would end up eating it anyway. Today, it is becoming less and less of a problem.

The Gabriel Method has started a revolution in the weight-loss industry, because it focuses on the actual mechanisms that make you fat, such as nutritional famine and stress. It is a way of learning to give your body what it really needs to feel satisfied and put a stop to the vicious food cycle.

Smoker Suffering from Cluster Headaches?

noreply@blogger.com (R.Cardos) — Mon, 09 Jun 2008 11:32:00 +0000

I started getting these terrible headaches ...again!

...So I read through the symptoms for cluster headaches:

sharp intense pain (not throbbing) above then around one eye
pain comes without warning
redness and wattering in one eye
attacks come in clusters or cycles (several times a day for days or weeks in a row -usually at the same times of day)
pain can last anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours (45 min. is the average)
the pain often wakes the person up from their sleep
person suffering cannot keep still (usually pacing)
person can be driven to extreme measures (pounding on walls, etc)

...And guess what?

These symptoms fitted me like a glove!

So, I went to the doctor and he told me that one of the main causes of cluster headaches is SMOKING and drinking beer. As a matter of fact, I also noticed that when I had even one beer, the pain would become even more intense.

So basically, I have seriously pondered quitting smoking. As for the beer, I love beer, but I'm not any kind of alcoholic and only drink occasionally when I go out for a meal, so that's not a problem.

My big bout is with cigarrettes. I don't know whether my doctor was actually helping me or not when I asked him for a way to quit. He mearly said: "just quit" and added "I quit 4 years ago and I've been thanking myself for it till this day".

It's funny how we tend to complicate things more than they really are. Myself, I started smoking when I was 18, then quit smoking at 28, and then started up (like an idiot) at 38 due to personal problems (well, at least that's the excuse I'm using). What I really wished the doctor would have said was that there's some miracle solution that requires no effort on my behalf, but that's some fantasy that goes through your head, because let's face it: people who smoke a pack a day or more DON'T LIKE SMOKING, WE ARE JUST ADDICTED!

Is it possible to quit smoking? DEFINITELY, YES! Heck, I did it once, so I can tell you first hand that all it takes is will power and being honest with yourself (no cheating!).

Would you rather buy some nicotine chewing gum or patches and be addicted to them instead? That would even be a more expensive habit. Just remember, the actual addiction to nicotine disappears after about a week, the real problem is the psychological addiction. If you're married or living together with another smoker, or if you go out frequently, you will have a greater desire to smoke. So my suggestion is to modify your habits, but not exchange your smoking for eating, for example.

Some people say that accupuncture works, but honestly I don't know, because I haven't tried it. But if you give up smoking, you will be thanking yourself for the rest of your life!

Update:

After a failed attempt, which lasted for four days in Oct. 2008, I have finally been successful in quitting smoking. I have not had a cigarrette since November 2, 2008. I am living proof that it is possible to kick the habit and get on with a smoke-free life!

Welcome to PainAid

Introduction

People nowadays are paying more attention to health care than ever before. Only fools abuse of their bodies and think that the doctor can magically repair anything they've done wrong to them. For this reason, more and more people nowadays are turning to natural remedies to solve their health problems. Does this mean that we're going to fire the doctor and look for some health guru to take his place? I certainly hope not! Conventional medicine undisputedly has its importance and, as a matter of fact, there are more and more doctors today recommending natural remedies instead of prescribing hardcore pharmaceutical drugs.

Pain is a warning sign that something is wrong in our bodies. But anyone suffering from a chronic pain knows it's not easy to live with and some are even willing to sell their souls in order to make it go away.

This blog is about natural pain remedies for people seeking alternatives to conventional pain killers, and their undesirable side effects -even simple aspirin, if abused of, can cause ulcers if you get used to taking them on an empty stomach. It's always better to take the time to find the root cause of the pain and treat it as naturally as possible, instead of just covering it up with pain killers and hoping it doesn't return.

My opinion is that we should try the eclectic approach to treating health problems, i.e. take what is best for us from what there is to offer, be it conventional or natural medicine, but always after seeking professional advice. If something can be cured through Natural Remedies, why not try these first?

One thing is certainly true: if we aren't treating the root of the ailment, we are just setting it aside for another day by taking pain killers.

About This Site:

I have grouped the products presented in this site according to the problems they are designed to resolve, although some products are more generic. In this case, they are grouped mainly according to their title.

I will be adding more natural pain remedies products as time goes by, so your opinions can be of great help in the selection of more useful ones for yourself and other visitors to this site.

Top 6 Arthritis Symptoms
By Bob Alter

Your shoulder is bothering you and someone mentions arthritis. Scared, you turn to the internet in hopes of finding out the "real" symptoms of arthritis Arthritis symptoms can be hard to detect because we normally don't listen to our bodies. Other people say "I think I'm starting to get arthritis, my knees are killing me after a long day at work".

The most common arthritis symptoms are persistent pain in one or more joints. Most people will overlook these arthritis symptoms and just tell themselves it's overuse. Other folks will head straight to the doctors office to find out for sure.

What category do you belong too?

Education is a key ingredient in helping you determine if you indeed have arthritis or simply arthritis symptoms. Below are the most common arthritis symptoms and later we will briefly explain each one in great detail.

6 most common arthritis symptoms

* constant joint pain in several places

* redness, swelling and stiffness

* specific pain in specific spot

* decrease in range of motion (flexibility)

* your joints start to deform

* always feeling tired, extreme fatique and weakness

Please remember, arthritis symptoms are usually associated with a joint. Don't get it confused with muscles that surround the joint. A great example of this would be your back. Oftentimes the muscles that run top to bottom, are the ones that cause the pain, not the vertebrae.

* constant joint pain in several places is a warning sign and should be investigated quickly. Age is not a factor in arthritis because we have a friend who's daughter is fighting arthritis at the tender age of 13. Like her father, she has specific pain in certain joints and has a difficult time playing sports. With the help of some awesome doctors at Children's hospital in Seattle, she is able to play a lot more than last year.

* redness, swelling and stiffness are usually noticed in your hands and feet. This is a great indicator of arthritis and one that can be seem easily with the eye. Spouses are excellent at recognization of this because they know you so well and see you everyday.

* point tenderness usually makes you jump when someone touches this area. Again, don't confuse this with muscles because your joints are surrounded by muscle tissue. Sometimes the way you walk, will trigger this arthritis pain and sometimes it's simply contact with an object that creates that burning feeling.

* decrease in range of motion (flexibility) is a normal process as we age. However, rapid loss of flexibility is not normal. Only you can detect the decrease in your range of motion and it is something you should (stretching) do daily to help all aspects of your body. A great self checker is trying to keep your legs straight and touch your toes. Go ahead and give it a try, how far can you make it?

* your joints start to deform. Not much needs to be said about this, YOU will know if this happens. If you are a spouse please understand the person who is watching their body start to deform, is feeling lousy. They believe their body is failing them and could go into a mild case of depression. So be careful and help them understand what is going on.

* always feeling tired, extreme fatique and weakness. This is a tougher one to detect because there are so many variables. Things like sickness, overwork or a couple of days working in the yard the first day of spring can make detection nearly impossible. What you should look for are these signs away from activity. Usually after a few days of recovery the body will heal itself, but in the case of arthritis it continues.

I sincerely hope these 6 arthritis symptoms are not a part of you. If they are, don't panic because there is a ton of help. I personally believe in healing yourself from the inside out, which includes 3 solid meals containing a lot of vegetables and fruits, lots of liquid and supplementation. Water will also make your kidneys very happy and hopefully you've never had kidney stones, they hurt.

If you are considering supplementing be sure to get our free report on the top 7 arthritis treatment ingredients that is known to help reduce arthritis.

Best Wishes for a pain free day.

Bob Alter has lived with arthritis in his family for an entire lifetime. He is a coach and athletic trainer for over 24 years and believes strongly in healing yourself from the inside out.

Review: Overcoming Gastritis

noreply@blogger.com (R.Cardos) — Tue, 19 Feb 2008 04:07:00 +0000

Overcoming Gastritis
Author, Sean Glen, can help you discover Effective All-Natural Methods to overcome Gastritis.

Are you experiencing any of the following symptoms?

You have pain in your abdomen - a mild ache, a persistent pain or maybe a stabbing sensation or pain that feels like it cuts through your body - that came on all at once or build up over time
You get hungry, but after only a couple of bites your desire to eat disappears and the food holds absolutely no appeal to you - even your favorites do nothing for you.
You might find your stomach sometimes uneasy or unsettled, and just a few bites of something calms things down... bringing relief, for a while at least.
You have the disconcerting need to belch a lot, but this brings, if anything, only temporary relief from the pain in your stomach.
You might be suddenly intensely nauseous and running to vomit - bringing up a colorless substance, something that's a mix of green and yellow or a streaky, bloody mix.
You glance in the toilet and notice your stools are black, tarry looking or smell particularly bad. Something's definitely different - enough to make you catch your breath, afraid.
You might find yourself sweating more than usual - you're always damp and clammy all over yet there's no discernable cause.
Your heart might race or pound in your chest, a nerve racking, distressing feeling that is truly frightening - you might wonder if you're having a heart attack.
You feel lightheaded and short of breath, or you feel as if you're going to faint - maybe you have, waking with the floor underneath you, wondering what just happened.
You're exhausted all the time - as if every drop of energy has been sucked from your body. You can't even remember a time when you weren't run down and exhausted... without energy.
You've lost more weight than you realized, and can also be silently struggling with nutritional deficiencies that sap your strength, impact your ability to heal and affect your overall health.
You're facing the prospect of uncomfortable, embarrassing testing, or have heard terms like colitis, Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) or worse to explain your symptoms.

Sciatic Relief

noreply@blogger.com (R.Cardos) — Tue, 19 Feb 2008 03:50:00 +0000

Featuring: Stop Sciatica Now! - by Pamela Kihm

SCIATIC NERVE PAIN - CAUSES AND TREATMENT

Whether it is acute, chronic or episodic; finding Sciatic pain relief is your number one priority! Today, many patients look beyond mainstream medicine to alternative therapies to reduce sciatic pain.

Sciatic Nerve pain is a symptom and not the problem in itself, therefore we would first need to know the root problem before proceeding to to its possible solution.

According to Jean-Jacques Abitbol, MD, FRCSC, Orthopaedic Surgeon from the California Spine Group, MC in San Diego, CA; the six main causes of sciatic Nerve Pain are:

a bulging or herniated disc (disc material can press against an adjacent nerve root, compress delicate nerve tissue and cause sciatica)
lumbar spinal stenosis (often brought on by activities such as standing or walking and relieved by sitting down. Nerve passageways become narrow or clogged causing nerve compression)

spondylolisthesis (one vertebra slipping forward over an adjacent vertebra, i.e. a slipped disc)

trauma (spinal problems caused by accidents)

piriformis syndrome (pain caused when the piriformis muscle irritates the sciatic nerve through compression)

spinal tumors (when they develop in the lumbar region, there is a risk for sciatica to develop as a result of nerve compression.)

As you can see, various spinal disorders are the main cause of sciatica, which is a consequence of Sciatic nerve compression from herniated discs, slipped discs, tumors, etc. But also, Piriformis syndrome is named for the piriformis muscle and causes pain when the muscle irritates the sciatic nerve (i.e. muscular compression of the nerve).

In summary:

Sciatic Nerve pain is NOT a disorder, but a symptom of a disorder.

Sciatic Nerve pain occurs mainly when something, be it bone, muscle, etc., is pinching the sciatic nerve.

Possible Treatments:

Medication

Taking pain killers can give you temporary Sciatic pain relief, but the root problem is not being treated. Do you really want to have to depend on drugs for the rest of your life? Also, drugs can cause addiction; or even worse, as your body can become unsensitized to them and you can end up needing larger doses or stronger drugs to relieve the pain.

Surgery

In the case of some trauma (accidents, or due to violence), there may be no other choice but to submit a patient to surgery, but in many other cases, this is not the best option due to the delicate nature of these operations which could even leave the patient worse off than before.

All surgery has a risk factor and our spine is a very important and delicate part of our bodies which we do not want to tamper with unless we have had a second, or even a third expert medical opinion on the matter. In most cases, medical doctors (and also common sense) will advise us to examine other options before taking chances on surgery.

Chiropractic Treatment

At the core of chiropractic care are spinal adjustments. Spinal manipulation frees restricted movement of the spine and helps to restore misaligned vertebral bodies to their proper position in the spinal column. But remember also that Sciatica can be caused by other disorders beyond the scope of chiropractic practice, so we must first get a proper diagnosis of the root problem before proceeding.

Natural Remedies

People nowadays, more than ever before, are shying away from drugs and taking unnecessary risks with their health. Certainly, YOU are going to know best if something has worked/is working for you, or not. No one else can tell you that you aren't feeling pain when, in fact, you are.

These methods include the use of herbs for Sciatic pain relief. special comfort pillows or aids, and special exercises designed to strengthen muscles and educate your body to move painlessly and increase your efficiency.

The use of herbs for pain relief is similar to the use of pharmaceutical drugs in that they do not cure the root problem and it is just a matter of time until the pain returns to hound you. Comfort pillows and other orthopedic aids can help you in certain positions, but you do not want to spend your time in bed or sitting down all day. Being that mobility is important, you need to learn what it is you can be doing wrong and how you can correct it, thus avoiding those dreaded Sciatica attacks.

What if you were able to train yourself to move throughout the day in a way that you would no longer have those dreaded attacks? There is an ALL NATURAL method that does not consist of dangerous, painful exercises!

Introducing The Feldenkrais Method® of Somatic Education

Who is Dr Moshé Feldenkrais?

Dr. Moshe Feldenkrais, D.Sc., (1904-1984) was a distinguished scientist, physicist and engineer. He earned his D.Sc. in Physics from the Sorbonne and was a close associate of Nobel Prize Laureate Frederic Joliot-Curie at the Curie Institute in Paris, where they conducted research together. He was also a respected Judo instructor and author of many books on the subject.

Living in England in the 1940’s, Feldenkrais found himself unable to walk after suffering a serious injury. He began an intense exploration into the relationship between bodily movement, and healing, feeling, thinking, and learning. As a result, he restored his ability to walk and made revolutionary discoveries, culminating in the development of the method that now bears his name.

What is The Feldenkrais Method® of Somatic Education?

The Feldenkrais Method is a form of body awareness that is often thought of as alternative or complementary medicine. As designed by Dr Moshé Feldenkrais, in the 1960s, the goal of the Feldenkrais Method was to take a holistic approach to movement. This method uses sensory motor learning to ease aches and pains and enhance skills. It is an innovative approach to achieving dynamic health and well-being.

How can This Method Help You?

Feldenkrais practitioners have obtained positive results with people diagnosed with carpal tunnel syndrome, chronic and acute back pain, sciatica, headaches, neuralgia, arthritis, foot, knee and hip pain. Their clients report increased vitality. The negative aspects of stress are reduced and movement becomes pleasurable. You will be able to improve your enjoyment and performance of pursuits including riding, skiing, martial arts, tennis, golf, racquetball, swimming, running, walking, yoga and weight-training, besides your regular daily activities.

Where Can You Find More Information About This Revolutionary Method?

Pamela Kihm, a Feldenkrais practitioner for many years, was urged by some of her patients to write a book which could help other sciatica sufferers find what they themselves discovered through her teaching and practices.

It was then that "Stop Sciatica Now!" was developed. Based upon The Feldenkrais method, the award winning book, "Stop Sciatica Now!", has helped thousands of people to find permanent Sciatic pain relief in the comfort of their own homes.

Stop Sciatica Now! is a practical, fool-proof, step-by-step, medically proven program where you will start feeling better ...even within a couple of hours!

Here's an article I found lately. Do you ever feel like this?

Missing A Few Pieces -- Migraine Headaches by: Suzi Batta

I suffer from migraine headaches. Plagued for many years, I do not know why I get them and the doctors have a wide variety of opinions. Today's migraine was a doozy. If you have every had a migraine you know. If you are not sure if you have had one, here is a brief rendition of a bad one... I dropped my daughter off at nursery school. I had a few hours to get through my list of errands.

First stop was Sears to take care of some billing matter. I was in the store for quite some time and they had floruesant lighting. This is a known culprit for causing a migraine headache. There is something about the flickering pattern of the lights that goes unnoticed by most people. The zigzag patterns and flashes of electric light started echoing in my eyes. No one else can see them except me and other migraine sufferers. When the zigzags start it makes it difficult to see clearly. I was happy to get out of there, but not happy that I had a migraine coming on.

The next stop was Kmart. I only had one item that I needed to buy, but I would have liked to comb through the store and do some shopping. The flickers of electric light intensified in my eye sockets. This reminded me to get what I came for and get out of there as soon as possible.

I was hungry, so I thought that might be aggravating the migraine (another reported cause of migraines - low blood sugar). I stopped to get something to eat. I still had some grocery shopping on my agenda, so I ate lunch quickly. I watched the clock and tried my best to out run the inevitable. Migraine Triggers synopsis from http://www.NYM.org

A wide range of events and conditions can alter conditions in the brain that bring on nerve excitation and trigger migraines. They include, but are not limited to the following:

- Emotional stress (although the headaches often erupt after the stress has eased).

- Intense physical exertion.

- Abrupt weather changes.

- Bright or flickering lights.

- High altitude.

- Travel motion.

- Changes in sleep patterns.

- Low blood sugar has been known to trigger headaches and fasting can often precipitate migraines.

- Chemicals found in certain foods may trigger headaches in some people. More than 100 foods have the capacity to trigger migraine headache. See http://www.nym.org/healthinfo/docs/097/doc97nonmedic.html#triggerfoods for a list of foods that may trigger migraine headaches.

At the supermarket, my migraine headache was in full swing. My patience was wearing thin, my list of items was not near complete and the numbness started in my left hand. By the time I got to the check out counter I was nauseous. The numbness had moved from my left hand, across my face and was tingling my right hand. The woman at the counter asked if I was ok as I flexed my right hand trying to regain feeling. I was afraid and unable to talk at that point I just shook my head, no. Once I get to that stage of the migraine my speech is impaired. I am unable to speak in complete sentences, so I did not even try to answer her.

I made it to the car in a complete panic. The supermarket was only a few minutes drive from my house. I pulled in the driveway, dropped my pocketbook at the door and left the groceries in the car. I yelled to my husband to pick up my daughter and get the groceries. I took a few aspirins and went straight to bed. A cold compress and sleep is the only remedy that works for my migraines.

Three hours later, my husband woke me up for dinner - God bless his soul. He knows my migraine routine all too well and took care of the kids while I was on sabbatical. It took about an hour after waking up to fully recover. The migraine was gone, but I did not have much of an appetite. Your brain also feels like it has voids. Empty spaces that need to come together before you feel normal again. It is an unsettling feeling not being in control of your mind. The aftermath is like trying to do a jigsaw puzzle, but you are missing a few pieces.
