Though reflexology shares much in common with acupuncture, it has its own unique properties and origins. In the early 20th century, you might have been able to identify patients coming from a reflexology appointment by the clothespins on their fingertips. Today’s reflexologists generally carry out their treatments by hand in a wellness clinic or a massage studio, but the principle remains the same: apply pressure to specific points on the hands, feet, or ears, prompting responses in organs throughout the body. Similar to acupuncture and acupressure, the practice posits that energy pathways run throughout the body. Reflexology’s system, however, is a bit simpler than Chinese medicine’s complex map of meridians. Envision vertical lines running from each toe up through the leg, joining lines running from each finger up the arm toward the neck and coming together in the head, and you have the body divided into 10 attractively slimming reflexology zones. Within each zone on the palm or—most common in reflexology sessions today—the sole, certain pressure points are thought to correspond to organs, joints, or other tissues elsewhere in the same zone. Dr. William Fitzgerald—originator of the clothespin technique—began practicing what he called “zone therapy” in 1915. While research has yet to find a concrete link between modern medical thought and the millennia-old idea of imperceptible bodily energy, that doesn’t mean reflexology can’t be relaxing. Patients can expect the benefits of a treatment to include at least those of a good foot massage: increased circulation, relieved muscle tension, and decreased stress and susceptibility to tickle attacks. Even early proponents of the technique accepted that results might vary from person to person. Writing in 1928, physician Bernard Lust was content with claiming that “the adoption of the method is attended with absolutely no danger or disagreeable results, and may be the means of lengthening short lives and making good health catching.”

Mumio

Aside from the fact that Shilajit has almost all the elements in the periodic table, the thing that truly sets it apart from other natural supplements is how it was formed. Over millions of years, at the highest peaks of remote mountains, ancient plant matter of the purest origins has broken down to form large organic deposits as a result of complex natural processes. When moisture condenses on or runs down the mountain slopes, it seeps through these organic deposits, collecting many minerals, organic acids and other beneficial nutrients until finally precipitating inside caves, crevices or rocks as a black-brown resin - Shilajit.

Research is currently being done in Europe to determine their potential in cancer chemotherapy and in Germany, extracts of European mistletoe is sometimes used as a treatment for certain types of cancer.

In Europe the plant is used in oncology therapies under the trade names Iscador® and Helixor®.

The German Commission E has approved it as a treatment for degenerative and inflamed joints and as a palliative therapy for malignant tumors.

The closely related species American mistletoe (phoradendron leucarpum) is rarely used medicinally. Some herbalists believe that it has an opposite effect from the European mistletoe (viscum album).

What Are Soil-Based Probiotics?
Martin J. Bl**er, chairman of the Department of Medicine and a professor of microbiology at the New York University School of Medicine states: "Germs make us sick, but everyone focuses on the harm. It’s not that simple, because without most of these organisms we could never survive."4 - See more at: http://www.prescript-assist.com/intestinal-health/soil-probiotics/ .aMsJkM52.dpuf
