Sounds like a rock band. Introducing The Free Radicals!!! In a conversation with Debbie today about inflammation and oxidative stress I mentioned free radicals. Do you know what a free radical is?

 The name of this disease sounds elusive to me. What the heck is mixed connective tissue? Sounds like a box assortment of chocolate or nuts. Information on MCTD diagnosis, symptoms, treatment options and pain relief is hard to find.

It's always wonderful to see a healthy baby. In the 13 years I've spent practicing bodywork, I've managed to have my hands on about 100+ babies. If I see 250 adults in a year, I'll only see about 10+ babies in any given year. But out of the 100+ babies I see, I only get to work on a few that are fully healthy, well developed, and need no adjustments in any way. Babies are only sent to me when something isn't right.

I swear to God this book will get done. It's a peculiar process, writing a book. Debbie Karch signed on years ago and agreed to help in the arduous task. Yet it is fun, because the conversations and ideas that have arisen and become hot topics of the day. These topics I just happen to love yammering on about... daily. Poor Debbie... but really, she loves it too.

I can’t believe it’s already 2012. The years go by faster and faster with no end to its acceleration in sight. I’ve been fortunate, steadfast, and trusting of the path I’ve set to venture. This past year was no different.

I am not a yogi. There. I've said it again. I've never been enamored by the practice, I've never been sway by a teacher of yoga where I would consider changing my life for the practice, move to India, visit India to find enlightenment, or spend years of my life learning from someone who thought the only way to enlightenment was through the practice of yoga. I'm not bashing those who do mind you, and in fact I honor and praise those who go the distance, devote not only years but a lifetime to the practice to keep true the "what truly is" the "practice" of yoga in its purest form.My best friend Kara Thorsen and one of my most esteemed colleagues Jill Miller have done just this, and I love them dearly for doing so.

It may sound like hocus-pocus to many. For me, I've gotten the title of "voo-doo Sue" as my ability to somehow know and sense things about my clients and help them out of pain seems unexplainable. Some call it intuition, some call it a gift, and when they ask "how do you even know that" my reply is frequently, "don't ask".

I was asked by a not-so-deep woman the other day, “MELT makes me feel better but can it help me lose weight?”

As if it’s not enough for me to get people to understand why pain exists and I happen to have a method to get you out of it, let me tell you how MELT can also help you to lose weight…

I had someone email me regarding how tissue actually repairs especially when it comes to an organ. Because our organs are vital to our existence, this type of tissue has an amazing repair rate. In fact, organs are repairing all of the time, all cells are dying and being produced literally all the time.
