Blah Blah Blah Brimhall

I'm back at the river house and so I'm slapping these photos up from the seminar. This is Dr. Tyran Mincey. I managed to capture him in his cowboy look this time!


There was a whole group of doctors up along the wall doing this exercise when Dr. Mincey walked in. So he tried it. You can see a bit of the laser to the right. Without getting too technical (really, as if I could!) it speeds up the healing process. It stimulates the mitochondria (energy factories) of the cell to produce more ATP (energy) in the cell. It really is the miracle tool. Great for injuries, pain & inflammation & a bevy of other symptoms. What could your cells do more of if they had more energy?

Lasering in different positions increases flexibility.

OK, on to Dr. Mincey's brother, Riley. He is one of the most positive people on the planet! When he was 2 months old, he had a botched needle procedure done on his leg and it got infected. They amputated starting at the knee and eventually they took his whole leg. They also wanted to take one of his arms. ????? Afterwards, everyone associated with the incident disappeared from the hospital. This was in 1968--can you imagine if that happened today? So this is Riley's little trick:

Hahahahahaha!

The seminar was sponsored by the Mincey Bros (Nutriwest PA) & was taught by Dr. Brett Brimhall. He's kind of a cross between his dad, (Dr. John) and Dan Murphy. The science stuff just flies off his tongue & sometime right over my head. But WOW! Awesome stuff!

Me & Dr. Brett

Chiro-sister Ruthie & Dr. Brett horsing around.

I learned a great new percussor technique from Dr. Cliffton Brady having to do with digestion and the colon. I worked on another doc there who had some shoulder pain. As I was working on him I was engulfed in a cloud of chlorine smell. He used to be a swimmer. Dr. Brady says that when you start doing percussor, you experience some pretty weird things. Yup. So it was a really great weekend--lots of learning and laughing. My favourite!

Mighty Mitochondria

I'm back from blogging vacation and do I have many blog-worthy tales-to-tell! I'm starting with Dan Murphy, tho, because this past weekend seminar was my most recent adventure. WOW! He makes me want to be a doctor. I think I'll take a topic a day for the week or rest-of-the-month because otherwise this post would be way long. So here goes:

MITOCHONDRIA
Essentially, the mitochondria of your cells are the factories that produce energy. I know a little about cells from massage school and of course, Bruce Lipton. Here's what I missed: you don't just have a single mitochondria in your cell. You can have MANY. Not only that, you can create more. What does this mean in practical terms? It means more energy. So this is the part where those who know me are going to laugh: one of the easiest ways to create more mitochondria is to exercise. Regularly. That's why when you exercise, you get more energy even tho you're expending energy. [The only caveat to that is that if you get wiped out from exercising or have chronic fatigue, then you have to get evaluated for adrenal exhaustion.] The next part of the equation is diet. Which is tomorrow's topic. What Dan says will blow your mind. Think you know what's healthy? Stay tuned....in the meantime, I'm going for a walk.

In the Finally Dept. but Oh! Where to Begin???

Anyone who knows me, knows that I am a big fan of Dr.'s Brett & John Brimhall. I would not be here today if I'd not gone to The Brimhall Wellness Center 3 years ago. I also have had the good fortune to be able to attend seminars with Dr. John because I worked in my husband's office. In the process I've made my way back to health & wellness and learned a tremendous amount about holistic healing. My boss, John Morgan, will sometimes say to me as I'm blathering on, "You say this stuff as if I know what you're talking about."

Doesn't everyone know about cold-laser technology? Doesn't everyone know that miracles happen everyday with alleged terminal illnesses? That a diagnosis is not a death sentence? That even if you're in a wheelchair, you can get back out? That if something in you gets worse, it can also get better? No? This is what I appreciate about Brimhall doctors: they don't accept limitations. "We don't promise miracles, but we expect them," Dr. John likes to say.

So last weekend, I had the good fortune to attend another seminar with my chiro-sister Ruth, taught by Dr. David Lee. Yay! He says, "We get miracles in the office because we ask for them." I think another thing I appreciate about this work is that there is always something new to learn, because he & Dr. John are always learning new things. This work continues to evolve and just gets better and better.

Dr. Lee tells the best stories--too many to tell here. Dr. Lee, get a blog!!! However, here are a few tidbits from the weekend:

• You've got to alkalize your body to energize. Things that contribute to an acidic body: Emotional stress, too many starches, and the wrong drinking water. There's a 4th thing, but he digressed into a story about pigs.
• PIG STORY: Get ready to say Eeeewwwww! In China, pigs are raised in cages that sit 5 on top of each other. They put food in the top cages...and there it filters down. So you know what the other cages underneath are eating....The top 2 levels the Chinese use for food. The 3rd level is USDA & those pigs are imported as food, the 4th is for research, & the bottom are pigs they donate.
• Handy way to fix a hiatal hernia: drink a gallon of water. Stand on a chair. Jump down.
• 4 ways the body detoxes: 60% through breath, 30% through skin, 7% colon, & 3% bladder.
• Decide: means to seperate into 2 sides that can't be put back together.
• L.I.G.H.T. Let In God's Healing Light. Title of his book he's writing. Awesome.

Anyway, more that I could write, but I'll sign off with a few pictures:

Me & Dr. Lee :-)

Dr. Bruce Carrick with my sister Ruthie teasing me with greenpepper. Eeewwww!

The New Jersy Table: Dr. Jesse Liebman & staff. Dr. Jesse ROCKS!

P.S. And I don't know how I left the weekend without taking a picture of the Mincey Brothers!
