Wisdom from .physiotherapy about Barefoot strength training ✔️
Consider taking your shoes off when you train. It can offer a variety of benefits:
▶️ Taking off your shoes and going barefoot allows your body to get more sensory input from your feet. You get a much better FEEL for the ground beneath, how balanced and stable you are, and what your weight distribution is like.
The improved feel alone is why many people prefer barefoot training. It allows for a much better ‘connection’ when performing exercises on your feet. The feet are your body’s base/foundation after all!
▶️ Barefoot strength training also allows you to get better use of your foot musculature. Your feet can sense and grip the ground much better.
Anything that impedes your foot from working naturally can get in the way of its optimal use:
- If your shoes are narrower than your foot (most are), then foot gets compressed and cannot function as well.
- If you have an elevated heel in your shoe (most do), then you are loading your body differently compared to being flat.
- If your shoe is stiff (most are), it won’t let your foot and toes naturally bend and articulate during exercises that require it to (lunges for example).
Eliminating your footwear allows your feet to function more naturally so you can get better use of them!

FYI

n 1934, the University of Southern California appointed a Special Medical Research Committee to bring 16 terminal cancer patients from Pasadena County Hospital to Rife's San Diego Laboratory and clinic for treatment. The team included doctors and pathologists assigned to examine the patients, if still alive, in 90 days. After the 3 months of treatment, the Committee concluded that 14 of the patients had been completely cured. The treatment was then adjusted and the remaining 2 also were cured within the next 4 weeks. On November 20, 1931, forty-four of the nation's most respected medical authorities honored Royal Rife with a banquet billed as "The End To All Diseases" at the Pasadena estate of Dr Milbank Johnson.

"I can assure you that no one, not even myself, could help but be astounded at the results we are now obtaining with the assistance of our new Rife machines and our new band of MOR's.(Mortal oscillatory rate)" (Letter from Dr. Johnson to Dr. Gruner (copy sent to Dr. Rife) dated, November 4, 1936."


But by 1939, almost all of these distinguished doctors and scientists were denying that they had ever met Rife. This complete reversal was the result of pressure from the drug companies on them. 'Pressure' is a very nice way of saying it. On the eve of a press conference to announce the results of the 1934 study on Rife's cancer therapy, Dr Milbank Johnson, former president of the Southern California AMA, was fatally poisoned and his papers "lost". Also, after a failed attempt by Morris Fishbein to buy the rights to Rife's healing instrument for the medical drug industry, Rife's labs were destroyed by arson and sabotage. Dr. Nemes, who had duplicated some of the work of Rife, was killed in a mysterious fire which destroyed all his research papers. A similar fire also destroyed the Burnett Lab, which was validating Rife's work. Royal Rife himself was killed in 1971 by an "accidental" lethal dose of Va**um and alcohol at Grossmont Hospital.

1970
Rife dies. He has been hospitalized for intoxication. Records show he is given an extra (overdose) of Va**um. A mixture of Va**um and alcohol is lethal. He is 84.

1980
" The AMA is found guilty by a U.S. Court of Appeals of 'conspiracy to restrain competition. . . New methods of health care have been discouraged, restricted and in some instances eliminated."

1985
The Sloan-Kettering Cancer Institute finds the Rife-Livingstone-etc. organism (virus) in all blood cultures of cancer patients. They conclude that the organism comes from outside contamination and bury the report.

The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe.
If you try it, you will be lonely often, and sometimes frightened.
But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself.

Fasting accomplishes several things:

First, it is the very best way to control glucose and insulin. Without the constant spikes in glucose and insulin, the body burns its own stored fat for fuel. In turn, testosterone levels remain sound. Each time we eat, testosterone levels plummet, which spike glucose and insulin, all of which power inflammation and aging. Bodies learn to feed from themselves and maintain optimal glucose levels.
The second accomplishment: Autophagy. Autophagy (or “self-eating”) is the process by which the body naturally removes cellular debris. Bad cells (which are not able to adapt to using fat for energy) die off because the body “eats” the bad cells and proteins first. Autophagy has been connected to shrinking tumors, of magically erased skin tags, dying viruses, and more. All these massive benefits can occur when autophagy kicks into high gear.
A third reckoning: Epigenetics—turning the bad genes to good, powering on the good ones, and shutting off the bad ones. Whether by the force of one-day fasts or elongated fasts, genetics start to maneuver into their natural state, altered healthily and hugely affected by our dietary choices.
Finally: Hormone sensitivity. Like before, gear up your body to listen to those hormones by putting it through a fast, cleansing it, and making room for that physical change. A weekly mini-fast revolves around a simple idea: Optimizing hormones is not about gaining more hormones, but about becoming more hormone-sensitive. Hormones like testosterone, or any that affect healing, are dramatically amped during a fast.

The Three Percent

It is estimated that three percent of people are those who just take action and live their lives from “cause.” They intuitively know that everything in life comes from something. This knowing drives them to always look deeper, and even to look to themselves for the answers so they can make the necessary changes to affect their outcome. They rarely look to blame, and it is these 3%ers that are most successful in the majority of things they do in life. The remaining 97% seem to have a lot of reasons why they will not do something and live their lives from “effect” not considering that there is always a cause. Most blame others or simply think life is random and therefore, do not take action to make changes. The best part is we can learn to be 3%ers. It is a daily choice. Empower your clients to be a 3%er, take control of their health, and help you help them achieve whole-body health.

Toxic Beauty
One of the highest exposures of BPA is toxic beauty products. Certain red colored lipsticks contain very high amounts of lead (lead is added for a smooth texture), and it is estimated that women eat 32 tubes of lipstick per year! With foundation or eyeliner that contains BPA, those tissues around the eye are highly absorbent and, therefore, extra vulnerable.

There are approximately 518 chemicals in make-up, body products, deodorant hair care, etc. that many people use in the morning, and approximately 125 ingredients are suspected of carcinogenic activities. Out of the 125, here are five that are in practically every personal care product used today. If your client is unwell, look for these items in their beauty regimen:

Diethanolamine (DEA) is found in over 600 home and personal care products such as soaps, lotions, cosmetics, bubble baths, laundry, and dishwashing detergents, and more. DEA is used to provide a rich lather in shampoos and maintain consistency in lotions and creams.
Propylene Glycol is a substance used in antifreeze solutions and hydraulic fluids as a powerful solvent. Ironically enough, it is also found in childhood vaccinations, cosmetics, toothpaste, shampoos, deodorants, lotions, and even processed foods (including pet food). Propylene glycol helps products retain moisture, and when used on your skin, helps it stay soft and moist. That’s why it is found in most baby wipes and skin lotions.
Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) is perhaps the most common of the three chemicals and by no means any less toxic. SLS is used as a surfactant to break down the surface tension of water. Therefore, it will break up grease and is used in concrete floor cleaners, engine degreasers, and car wash detergents. Unfortunately, the same degreaser is being used in practically every soap, shampoo, and toothpaste on the market today.
Phthalates are dangerous chemicals found in plastics that cause endocrine disruption and cancer. Phthalates are also found in baby care products. A study testing the urine of 163 infants between two and twenty-five months of age found 80% of the infants had at least seven phthalate metabolites in their urine. All infants in the study had detectable levels of at least one phthalate metabolite. Almost all of the mothers had used baby wipes, and over half of the mothers had used baby shampoo on their infants within 24 hours of the urine collection.
Nanotechnology is a newer technology that involves the manipulation of materials at the scale of atoms and molecules. To provide a visual an idea of how small a nanometer is, a human hair is 80,000 nanometers in diameter. This technology is entirely unregulated, and almost no testing has been done for its health effects. Nanotechnology is of a concern because it is now being used in virtually all personal care products from makeup to toothpaste and perfume. Without a phone call to the companies that manufacture personal care products to ask if they use nanotechnology, there is no way of knowing if those products contain nanoparticles. Companies are not required to test nanoparticles or label them.
Oxybenzone is a chemical found in the majority of sunscreens because it absorbs ultraviolet rays. When this potent chemical is absorbed by the skin, it causes hormone disruption by acting like estrogen, which may lead to cancer. Oxybenzone has also been linked to endometriosis in older women, as well as low birth weight in infant girls. (Source (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.)
Fortunately, there are many non-toxic beauty products that can be purchased from health stores (Gabriel, Rejuva, Afterglow, and many other brands). In order to avoid these toxic beauty products, we must encourage our clients to review the ingredients of the products they are using and remove the source of the exposure.

The last couple of sentences are never brought up in the quarantine scenario.

Environmental Toxicity
Clinically speaking, general toxicity is a broad entity of environmental toxins encompassing every toxin in our lives. Since World War II, the world has been inundated with more than 80,000 chemicals, and out of 15,000 new chemicals introduced per year, 10 or less are tested for neurotoxic effects. None of these chemicals are tested for synergistic effects with each other, which is unfortunate because many chemicals are used together in products treating our food, water, and homes. The EPA estimates that indoor air - the air circulating inside of our home environments - is 5-7 times more toxic than outdoor air. In new construction homes, the air is estimated to be 100 times more toxic than outdoors (41, 42).
We have already covered mercury, lead, and biotoxins. This section includes the top offenders in environmental toxins: glyphosate, beauty and cleaning products, and water.

Neurodegenerative Diseases
Alzheimer’s, dementia, and autism are neurodegenerative diseases that are on the rise, not just in America, but around the globe. Most people - including many in the medical profession - believe these are hereditary diseases, and that there is little to nothing that can be done to prevent us, or our family members, from a potential diagnosis. Throughout this module, however, we have uncovered how bad genes - including those that turn on neurodegenerative diseases - can be turned on, and that it is, in fact, possible to change our DNA, preventing or reversing these gene expressions.
