Natural Cures For An Embarrassing Problem!

                                     Stop The Gas Attacks! 

If you're a fan of the hit ABC show-"Dancing With The Stars"
then you're well aware of the embarrassing problem Witney Carson and
her partner  Von Miller are going through.
The embarrassing problem- Gas.

It's gotten so bad for Ms. Carson, she now fines him for every butt toot.
If Ms. Carson really wants to help him, don't fine him, give him the following
natural tips... 

a) Sip Cocoa Without Milk-
Not the sugar-laden variety that passes as hot cocoa, but a good organic brand.
(Mr. Miller can afford it). And one more thing- add hot water to your mug and not milk,
as milk may cause the gas problem, (blame the lactose)
b) Watch The Sweets-
As in sweeteners.  Artificial sweeteners fuel the growth of  bacteria in the large intestine
making it inevitable gas will follow. Cut back on them until you find out how much
you can have without causing gas attacks.
c) Head to the Drugstore-
And pick up Lactaid or Lactrase, both help with gas triggered by dairy,
Or pick up Beano, which helps with gas caused by beans and carbs.
d) Eat Slowly- 
Yes, eating too fast can cause gas attacks. eating too quickly causes you to swallow 
air along with the food. This also goes for drinking too quickly.
e) Save Your Heavy Meal- 
For later in the day, and if you do eat heavy, take a walk for 10 mins. and
work out a lot of that gas before arriving to the dance rehearsal.
e) Watch These Foods-
Whipped creams, soda, souffles, beans, onions, bananas,
cheese puffs, popcorn, highly processed carbs and certain greens, ( Cabbage)

That's it- hope this helps Witney and all the other girlfriends, wives or 
dance partners who are under siege, a gas siege.

Good Luck!

A Natural Remedy For a Male Star!

                                        Natural Rx For Back Pain! 

If you're a fan of the hit ABC show "Dancing With The Stars" then you may 
have watched as dancer Mark Ballas went down with a back injury.
He may have pulled something or slipped a disc and if you too, are going through
similar problems, you may want to try something organic and natural. 

Word of caution to those who are suffering from back pain...
It's still best to talk it over with your doctor, but let's not dismiss the medicine our
ancestors used for hundred of yrs. 
And the type of natural medicine we're prescribing is reflexology.
You know, massaging certain pressure points on your hands and feet to bring blessed relief.

To get started on your path toward ending back pain- take a comfortable chair or sit
on the floor, bring one foot over to the opposite leg, and starting at the heel, use your
thumb and massage all the way up to the big toe. Do not rush it, stay on each part
of the foot for a good 15 to 20 seconds, as you move upwards.
Stay on the inner most part of the foot for a few minutes.
Do both feet for a few minutes at a time and see if this helps put an end to the
unbearable back pain.
One man (A long distance truck driver) found this alternative method of healing
and did it for less than a week, and was able to say no thanks to back surgery
that was scheduled. 

Some other tips:
* If you're unable to maneuver your feet to the opposite side, ask a loved one to do the
massage. (Go gently, too much pressure may cause further damage). 
No one around to help and your also inflexible? Massage the hands, same spots, 
start at the base of the thumb, and move right up to the top of the first finger.
Or do a combination of the two--hands and feet.
Another tip for hands: take all 4 fingers of the opposite hand and dig into the innermost
spot of the other hand and dig in. Do this for 30 to 45 secs.
* Want more info on reflexology? Go to Google.com and type curing back 
problems with reflexology in the search bar.
* Also while you're at Google.com, type in Ellen DeGeneres/back pain/Supermarket
Rxs! click on it and read the post.
(Ellen has occasional flareups) it too. has a number of things other than self massage
you can do alleviate your back pain--like changing your thoughts, 
(positive, not negative) and diet changes, (say no to the white stuff-- flour and sugar)

So, if you're a regular guy or gal or a top dancing star, this ancient medicine
(about 500 yrs. old) may be of some help to you. (or a loved one)
Hey, it's a worth a try and it's certainly cheaper and safer than a scalpel.

Good Luck!

Hit Show's Rx For Better Moods!

                              Dance, Dance and Dance Some More! 

In about 3 weeks another winner will be crowned on the hit show--"Dancing 
With The Stars" and then, you'll have to wait for September to watch the new season again.
But for those who not only enjoy watching it, but also enjoy doing some of the moves,
continue doing so for your brain's sake. 
Brain's sake, what?

According to research that's been out there for a few years now, dancing (any type of 
dancing) will quickly brighten your moods.
How so?
Dancing gets blood pumping to your brain, revving alertness and increasing happiness
by triggering the production of of feel-good endorphins, while your favorite music raises
mood-elevating dopamine in your brain.

And something more impressive:
Dancing may work better than running, weightlifting and pilates at boosting moods.
With those exercises, you may have to drive somewhere, wait for equipment
or get into the mood (running) by warming up and stretching, but with dancing,
you just need a room, a park, or a stairwell and some music.

So, next time you need a mood booster or you're feeling down,
get up and boogie.

Good Luck!
