My Neck Was Sore After A Night Of Sleep On The Traction Pillow

Soreness after the first night on a new neck pillow is normal. That's why we recommend using the pillow gradually. It's even recommend to use the gravity sided gradually first. Now, don't take me the wrong way, you can be sore from using the gravity side also. We have found that this side is slightly easier to get used to than the "V" side. Soreness can actually be a good thing; then we know we're making change. I have a family member who feels like she's getting a neck hump or hunch-back. I told her along with the pillow, to start doing some head retraction exercises. I explained the to her - I don't know if she got it though? At least she's got the traction pillow...

Turmeric - A Big-Time Healer!

The fact that it reduces inflation helps to reduce pain also. Inflammation is one of those things that contribute to many disease processes. So reducing inflammation not only may reduce pain but can help one to stay healthy.

Biomechanically speaking inflammation typically puts pressure on nerves or a particular nerve and causes pain.

Pain is your body telling you there's a problem. One tricky thing however is that we can have pressure on a nerve or nerves in a particular spot that doesn't detect pain. Hence you can have a disease process building and not even know it's there...

As another note, they have found that taking the turmeric with black pepper helps to activate it. Curcumin is the active component in turmeric.

Are Carbonated Beverages Bad For You?...

The reason I thought of this is because I hear there may be some competition between the 'Sodastream' company and 'Green Mountain'.  'Sodastream' is the company who has been doing it and the Keurig machines may soon do it to.

The answer to: "Are Carbonated Beverages Bad For You?" is NO.  You may have heard that they contribute to leaching of calcium and other minerals from the bones; but that's not really true.  Now we know soda definitely isn't good for you.  It's carbonated, but that's not the problem.  It's the very high sugar content.

Now is it good to drink carbonated drinks all the time - I would't... It's like any thing else - drink in moderation.  I would drink flat water most of the time, when you are given the opportunity.
