Localized Contrast Hydrotherapy works very well on chronic pain, stiffness, chronic cough or illness, soreness and areas that are not healing well.

There are a few variations of Contrast Hydrotherapy.

The most commonly used form of Contrast Hydrotherapy is: Localized use of alternating hot and cold water.

When to use Localized Contrast Hydrotherapy:

• For conditions that have not just occurred. 
• Example: If you rolled your ankle, you will apply ice for the first couple to three days. Then, you will do Localized Contrast Hydrotherapy. 
• Wait 2-3 days after acute injury before applying contrast hydrotherapy.

Cautions with Contrast Hydrotherapy

• Diabetics: If you are losing feeling, have someone feel the water for you and use a timer when you are doing the therapy. Prevent getting burned or frozen.
• Asthma: Do not use too cold of water; rather just make it tap water cool. If one uses hot water and then uses very cold water following the hot, this may trigger an asthma attack in those with asthma.

Procedure for Localized Contrast Hydrotherapy:
1. Determine if the affected body part can be immersed in a bucket. If the affected body part cannot be immersed in a bucket, then hand towels will be used. If hand towels have to be used, you will need 3 hand towels for hot and 3 hand towels for cold. Buckets will still be needed to put the hand towels in. Body parts that often need hand towels instead of buckets: neck, chest, back, shoulder, upper thigh, cheeks, etc.

2. Obtain two buckets that are large enough for the affected body part. I frequently use medium size garbage cans (kitchen size) and also bins the size of cat litter boxes. (What tools, eh?)

3. Fill one bucket with filtered hot water. I say filtered because there is no benefit to inhaling noxious chlorine gas while trying to heal. Ensure that the water is as hot as you can comfortably stand. If you are diabetic and have neuropathy, have someone test the water temperature for you to prevent burning (and freezing).

4. Add about 1 pound of Epsom salt to the Hot water bucket. You can purchase inexpensive epsom salt from an animal feed supply store. They usually have 50 pound bags for about $30 or so. That is where I obtain mine. Ask for 'Magnesium sulfate'

5. For greater effect in healing, add a minimum of 1/4 liter of Moor Mud to the hot water bucket. Various sizes of Moor Mud can be purchased at HealthEGoods.com
- Depending on the size of the bucket and the ailment, 1/4 liter of moor mud is enough.
- For wrists and hands, 1/4 liter of Moor Mud is plenty.
- For ankles and feet, 1/4 liter of Moor Mud is enough if the pain or tightness or swelling is not too bad.

6. Fill the other bucket with cold water. There is no need to add ice and is not recommended for various types of issues so let's leave ice out of it. Just use cold filtered tap water.

7. Once you are ready to begin Localized Contrast Hydrotherapy, begin with the Hot water first. Immerse the affected body part into the Hot Water Bucket for 3 minutes. Or - use the Hot Water Hand Towels. Wring out the hand towel well and apply to the affected area. Cover immediately with a blanket.

8. After 3 minutes, remove your affected body part from the Hot Water Bucket and place it into the Cold Water Bucket. Leave it there for 1 minute. If using Hand Towels, remove the existing now-warm hand towel from the affected body part and apply a fresh wrung out Hot Water hand towel quickly. Then, wring out the hand towel that was sitting in the cold water bucket and get it ready. Remove the Hot Water hand towel and immediately place the Cold Water Hand Towel onto the affected area. Cover immediately with a blanket. Let the Cold Water Hand Towel remain for 1 minute.

9. Alternate between the Hot Bucket/Hot Hand Towels and Cold Bucket/Cold Hand Towels three times.
- 3 minutes Hot
- 1 minute Cold
- Repeat 3 times
- End with Cold
- NOTE: If you have an autoimmune condition such as Rheumatoid Arthritis or Raynaud's, end with Warm water, not cold.

10. If your Hot Water Bucket is cooling off, have someone provide you with hotter water. A teapot with boiled water in it usually can heat up the Hot Water Bucket pretty well. Drain some of the water out of the Hot Water bucket and then pour in the boiling hot water from the teapot. Make sure your body parts are not in the bucket at this time!

11. Repeat this Localized Contrast Hydrotherapy procedure daily for best effect.

12. Apply Castor Oil to the affected body part after the Contrast Hydrotherapy is you are attempting to reduce pain and swelling.

13. Stretch and massage the affected body part if it is tight directly in the hot water bucket if you can. Also adding a tennis ball in the bottom of the hot water bucket is great to massage the soles of the feet. (for Plantar Fasciitis.)

While the 4th of July is an impressive display during a brilliant time of year, there are some things you should be aware of.

Concern #1: While fireworks are fun, brilliant and gorgeous to watch, the smoke they create is not healthy at all.
Solution: Be upwind from the smoke as much as possible. Hold your breath when the smoke comes billowing your way. Taking a capsule of N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine supports your liver's ability to remove inhaled chemicals and compounds from the fireworks.

Concern #2: July 4th is usually a lot of partying and drinking. Beer definitely goes down well on a hot summer's evening while relaxing watching fireworks.
Solution: Prevent a hangover the next day by drinking plenty of fluids, eating and taking N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine to process the toxic by-products of alcohol.

Concern #3: There is a lot of BBQ'ing on the 4th of July. Those lovely grill marks signal a perfectly grilled steak, hot dogs, chicken, eggplant (ever BBQ those?! You should!). BBQ'ing meats causes cancer-causing heterocyclic amines to be created and absorbed into your body.
Solution: Grill to perfection. Lose the grill marks. Grill on lighter heat for longer times so you can prevent grill marks. Also, take N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine to reduce the harmful effects of heterocyclic amines.

Am I making this up? Nope. From research:
"Cooked meat contains many mutagenic/carcinogenic heterocyclic amines (HAs), including 2-amino-3-methylimidazo[4,5-f]quinoline (IQ) and 2-amino-1-methyl-6-phenylimidazo[4,5-b]pyridine (PhIP).....N-acetylcysteine was by far the most protective of the agents investigated."

Protect yourself after this 4th of July with N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine by Seeking Health.

More Information about N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine:

How to take N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine:
Take 1 capsule in the AM with a small snack and another capsule in the evening before bed with a small snack. A great small snack to take would be almond butter and celery. This way the N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine is more effectively absorbed. Drink with 8 oz of filtered water.

Who can take N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine?
Breast feeding mothers may take N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine.
Pregnant mothers may take N-Acetyl-L-Cystein if they are in their 3rd Trimester.
Exception! If known to have a baby with Down's Syndrome, do not take N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine while pregnant.
Children from 6 years and up can take 1 capsule with a snack and a glass of water.
Children aged from 3 to 5 can take 1/2 capsule in some applesauce.

Why should one take N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine?
Anyone breathing air, eating food or drinking water absorbs toxins into their body on a daily basis.
This nutrient is a crucial one in supporting our liver's ability to eliminate toxins from our body.

How often should I take N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine?
I recommend N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine to be taken on a daily basis along with a potent multivitamin, pure fish oil and a quality probiotic.
This combination is highly effective in supporting your body's function and eliminating toxins on a daily basis.

I recommend Optimal Multivitamin by Seeking Health for adults and Kid's Optimal Multivitamin for ..well...kids.
ProBiota 12 capsules as a probiotic for those 3 years old and above.
Optimal Fish Oil Liquid for all ages.
We also have Optimal Fish Oil capsules for those who experience belching after consuming fish oil.
This one won't cause fish oil burps as it contains fat digesting enzymes!

Who shouldn't take N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine?
Pregnant mothers before their 3rd Trimester.
Infants to 2 years old unless otherwise ok'd by your physician.
Those undergoing chemotherapy discuss with your physician.

Why take N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine by Seeking Health and not some other brand?
Great question and a number of answers.
First, it comes in a vegetarian capsule which dissolves easily and provides your body the N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine. Tablets are rocks and don't dissolve well. Avoid them.
Second, our capsules do not contain any flow agents such as titanium dioxide or magnesium stearates.
Third, 500 mg of N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine is a great amount so you can give it to your child aged 6 and above with a snack and some water.
Fourth, the capsules open up easily allowing you to put 1/2 capsule into applesauce for a child aged from 3 to 6 years old or those who cannot swallow pills.

Have a great 4th of July! And a healthy one with N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine! Preventing disease and optimizing health is what we like to do at Seeking Health!

Dietary fiber is the term used for the materials in plants that are indigestible and that absorb water while moving through your body. Fiber is classified as soluble or insoluble.

Insoluble fiber has water-attracting properties that help to increase bulk, soften stools and shorten transit time through the intestinal tract. Foods high in insoluble fiber include whole-wheat breads, wheat cereals, wheat bran, rye, rice, barley, most other grains, cabbage, beets, carrots, Brussels sprouts, turnips, cauliflower and apple skin.

Soluble fiber is typically found in the pulp of fruits and vegetables and is responsible for supporting our healthy gut bacteria called flora or probiotics.   Soluble fiber dissolves in water and ferments as it is not fully digested and this process produces gas but also byproducts that are necessary for a healthy body.  These byproducts have many beneficial functions such as acting as a prebiotic (feeding the healthy bacteria which make some B vitamins and fend off bad bacteria), balancing blood sugar, cholesterol and gut acidity (ph) as well as improving the gut wall barrier and immune system. Foods high in soluble fiber include oat bran, oatmeal, beans, peas, rice bran, barley, citrus fruits, strawberries and apple pulp.

Dietary fiber may promote a feeling of fullness by slowing digestion leading to an overall decrease in calorie intake. When eaten regularly and in high enough amounts, fiber has been associated with increased diet quality and decreased risk of many diseases.  Nutrition experts recommend between 20-35 grams for the average person, per day, as a minimum amount.  With children recommended eating at least their age in fiber plus 5 grams.  According to National Academy of Sciences, Institute of Medicine, Americans eat on average only about half this amount or 12-18 grams.

 
Many commercial fiber products and claims about the content of oat bran and wheat bran  (muffins, chips, waffles) actually contain very little fiber. They also may be high in sodium, pesticide residues and chemical additives if not organic.  So, reading labels carefully and choosing more fruits, veggies, whole grains, nuts, seeds and berries (plants!) is highly recommended in order to obtain more fiber and better health.  Careful though, too much fiber and increasing too quickly can irritate the system.  Lastly, grains are not for everyone, so make sure you are able to digest them well and try different types such as Millet, Quinoa and Amaranth.

Jeanne Achterberg, Ph.D. came to my medical school last Friday - a small woman with graying hairs and slightly funky clothing. Her appearance was not strikingly powerful. Yet when she stepped up to the podium and began speaking, all eyes were focused on her. She is an eloquent speaker with much to say.

When asked "why do research on imagery as imagery has been used successfully for centuries?" she stated: "I am a scientist in a scientifically driven society. Yes imagery works and we know it works. Science simply backfills what we already know. If we want to change how medicine operates, we must prove that these other options are effective."

She is with all the big wigs of medicine and those who currently shape it: 'Andy' Weil as she calls him, federal government health committees and world famous healers. Interesting mixture...

She stated that 60% of cancer patients are able to look back 16 months and locate a significant life stressor that may have triggered their cancer. She also stated that within 5 years of retirement, many people become ill and die as life loses focus, direction and meaning. Some women become ill when the kids move out of the house for good (I cannot understand that one as my mother was ecstatic!)

So if one can pinpoint a significant stressor in their life which leads to a worsening of their health, then there must be a way in order to reverse that. If we can cause disease manifesting in our bodies, then why cannot we manifest health????

That is a huge statement and one I find extremely powerful. We experience this every day; We see a policeman in our rearview mirrors and get a sick feeling in our gut. We get stressed at work leading to a migraine headache. Someone yells at us and we lose our appetite.

So why cannot we embrace someone and reduce blood pressure? Why cannot we meditate and lose the migraine headache? Why cannot we imagine our immune systems embracing cancer and remove it?

Well - we can. Our ability to perceive allows us to obtain health...and obtain illness.

Imagine this: Your significant other dies. You retire one year later. Your kids are moved out. Two years down the road, you are diagnosed with cancer of your bone marrow. Kids visit you every now and then and bring you flowers. You sit in a nursing home eating, drinking and conversing with folks believing that their last moments are near.

The cancer moves fast and involves many organs. You have no desires. You have no desire to live. Cancer moves on and the treatments only make you feel more ill.

Along comes Jeanne Achterberg, Ph.D. She spends an afternoon with you. This is what she might say and do to help you use the power of imagery:

What I'd like you to do is dive inside you bone marrow and find the cancer. What does it look like? How did it get there? Go inside yourself and see. Close your eyes and go.

You're afraid but you do it. Moments later you open your eyes widely and say you don't want to do that again.

What did you see?

"I saw angry women."

What were they doing?

"They were yelling at me."  So this patient wanted to go to counseling and find out more. The counselor asks:

What do you think will quiet the angry yelling women inside your bone marrow?

"A man."

What type of man?

"Well, there is this brute guy who really knows how to handle angry women. He is a fine orator and women respect him."

Ok. So what does this brute do? How will he go inside your bone marrow and talk with the angry women?

"He won't talk with them. He will embrace them until they stop yelling."

That sounds great. Now go inside your bone marrow and have Brute embrace the angry women.

 Now isn't that powerful? Another powerful imagery tool is to draw. For example, the patient might be instructed to draw the cancer, draw the body's immune system fighting the cancer, draw the treatment fighting the cancer.

Those three images together speak volumes of how motivated the patient is to live. This simple tool shows with 100% accuracy patients who will die within 2 months. This has been researched.

For example, a patient drew a mountain range for the cancer. Then they drew fish for the immune system. Those two don't flow well together. The patient was told this and desired some assistance. It is then the counselor may step in and help strengthen the patient's imagery.

Cool.

I need to learn these tools and apply them to my patients. Finding the cause of the cancer and treating the cause is the treatment. Pouring chemicals down a throat or in a vein will not treat the cause. If harmful emotions played a part in causing the cancer, they must be addressed. Chemicals don't remove harmful emotions. We do.

In health,

Dr Ben

To obtain a useful tool to improve your skills in imagery and have a professional guide, I highly recommend Dr Achterberg's Intentional Healing Audio Set. (I receive no compensation for this - just thoroughly recommend it).

Anyhow, I need something to help with this feeling so down. Tried the St. John's Wort. Didn't do well in my system. I am very chemical sensitive.  Thanks so much."

I would start out with Magnesium Plus by Seeking Health and Pantothenic Acid by Seeking Health.

Both of these should help quite a bit with neurotransmitter support.

If you do not eat much protein, I urge you to eat every two hours - even if just a bit of protein. This is key to balancing blood sugar and providing nutrients for your brain so it can make the right neurotransmitters.

If you don't have the time, I then recommend Whey Slim by Seeking Health - take 1 scoop in a smoothie with Fish Oil. I recommend 2 grams of EPA/DHA a day for those experiencing depression, and purified fish oil is my preferred source.

For depression symptoms:

Magnesium Plus:

Consider taking 2 capsules in the AM and 1 capsule in the evening before bed.  To learn more about what functions magnesium performs in your body, I would suggest looking at the Learning Center.

Pantothenic Acid:

Consider taking 2 capsules in the AM and 2 capsules at lunch.

Whey Slim:

Consider taking 1 scoop in a glass of water or make a smoothie with frozen berries. Blend the berries and water first, then add the Whey Slim. Blend only for a few seconds. The longer you blend it, the more the beneficial proteins break and get destroyed. So mix by hand or blend for a very short amount of time.

For fibromyalgia symptoms:

The Magnesium Plus and Pantothenic acid will help quite a bit.
Supporting the adrenals helps reduce depression and also reduces fibromyalgia symptoms. These two products do this.

Add D-Ribose.
Take 1 scoop of D Ribose two to three times a day. Mix in 8 oz of filtered water. It tastes good. Those who take Ribose with fibromyalgia usually get quite significant relief.  You might be interested in reading the results of this pilot study using d-Ribose for treating Fibromyalgia:

Use of Ribose in Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Fibromyalgia

These suggestions should help you significantly.

Keep me posted and ask if any questions.

Do Probiotics need to be kept cold while travelling or during shipping?

If refrigeration is not available for an extended period of time, probiotics will stay viable at normal room temperature for some time.  ProBiota has been tested in real time for potency loss at different temperatures:

Because of the high cost of shipping materials, we unfortunately cannot offer free cold packs and insulating wrap with all of our probiotics.  But as the graph shows, in most climates, the probiotics will remain potent for some time during cooler months without refrigeration.  

If the climate you live in and the area between where HealthE Goods is located (Bellingham, WA) has daytime temperatures above 80 degrees, we do recommend adding Ice Pack w/ Foil Wrap to your order and selecting Priority, 3 Day, 2 Day, or Overnight Shipping.  

There's no cold pack with my probiotics/the ice pack is thawed.  Will my probiotics be alright?

The cold packs generally thaw out after 24 hours, but the foil wrap does help to maintain the contents at a cooler temperature even after the pack has “melted.”  The ProBiota line of probiotic supplements has been tested to verify that potency is maintained during cold shipping.  

As an extra measure, all ProBiota 12 products, Probiota Infant, and Saccharomyces Boulardii by Seeking Health are formulated with ”overages,” extra probiotic organisms are added to ensure that these products will be outstanding probiotic supplements when they arrive at your door.

Any other tips for handling probiotics so they stay good?

Yes.  If you can, keep them refrigerated with the lid tightly closed.  Avoid handling capsules with your bare hands; it’s best to pour them into the cap and then pour the extra back into the bottle from there.  Use a clean, dry, spoon to measure powdered probiotics.  Moisture from your hands being introduced into the stored products can damage it.

News article just came out stating BPA showed up in every urine sample taken from more than 80 preschoolers in two states. That is unacceptable and frightening.

I am going to tell you right now how your child - and yourself - can reduce your exposure to BPA.

We can reduce our exposure of BPA by not:

• drinking bottled water
• eating canned food
• handling receipts (yes - very loaded with BPA)
• heating and eating from plastic containers

BPA is everywhere. It is in your blood, and if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, it is your developing baby's blood.

How can you reduce your risk to BPA besides trying your best to avoid it?

PROBIOTICS.

Specific probiotics, Bifidobacterium breve and Lactobacillus casei are two beneicial bacterial strains that bind BPA and eliminate it from the intestines.

Researchers found two types of probiotics that bind BPA and carry it out of your digestive system and into the toilet. While this is awesome for you, it is not awesome for the fish or those that drink tap water. BPA just gets right into the fish or right into some other person a month or so later after the water is 'treated.'

Probiotics are excellent at binding BPA so this tells me that all pregnant women need to supplement with probiotics which contain Bifidobacterium breve and Lactobacillus casei on a nightly basis. Why nightly? Because probiotics have the best chance at establishing residence in your digestive tract after dinner. This is because stomach acid is not as caustic and you are not going to eat for another 8 hours or so giving the probiotics time to attach to your instestinal wall and form colonies.

It also tells me that Infants, Toddlers, Children and Adults need to take probiotics on a nightly basis in order to prevent absorbing this insanely harmful estrogen mimic chemical into the bloodstream.

Why do you need to take, and your baby and children, probiotics every night? Why not just for a week or two? Because beneficial bacteria do not reside in your intestines forever. They stay there only for a short amount of time before they are 'used up' or excreted in the feces. The bulk of stool is not food. The bulk of your stool is bacteria. Ever wonder why when you fast and have not eaten for a day or two days you still have large stools? It is because the bacteria are still in your digestive tract and forming the bulk of your stool - not the food.

Now that you know two strains of beneficial bacteria, Bifidobacterium breve and Lactobacillus casei, bind BPA and toss it into the toilet along with themselves, you also understand why you need to take it, and give it to others, on a nightly basis. You need to replenish the beneficial bacterial colonies so they can bind tomorrow's exposure to BPA, and the day after tomorrow's.

I should also point out while we are on the topic of probiotics binding BPA, that is not all probiotics do.

Other beneficial aspects of probiotics, not a full list but the ones off the top of my head:

• bind the carcinogenic heterocyclic amines (love to BBQ? Hello heterocyclic amines)
• bind lead and cadmium which are widespread in drinking water and food
• bind aflatoxin which is in your cereals, nuts and seeds
• reduce mercury exposure which you get from fish, dental amalgams, water and air pollution
• neutralize harmful bacteria's toxins from bad food, water or those living in your intestines
• prevent over colonizing of yeasts
• support and provide over 70% of your immune system
• reduce skin problems in infants
• reduce colic in infants
• improve absorption of nutrients from food
• reduce constipation
• reduce diarrhea
• reduce allergies in newborns if mother takes probiotics during pregnancy

I recommend three types of probiotics which have a significant amount of Bifidobacterium breve and Lactobacillus casei. When I say significant, I mean Billions. I like products to work.

Infants to 2 year olds: I recommend ProBiota Infant. Give 1/4 teaspoon each day in the evening after breastfeeding, bottle-feeding or dinner. One quarter teaspoon of ProBiota Infant, which naturally tastes great by the way so keep it high in the fridge so kids don't grab it and chow on it (yes, it happens), contains 10 billion beneficial bacteria in a base of chicory. There are no flow agents, preservatives, colors, tablets or anything that I, an expert in envrionmental medicine, would want my own babies and boys to consume.

For Children 2 year old to 4 years old: I recommend ProBiota 12 Powder. Give 1/16 a teaspoon which contains 25 billion beneficial bacteria in 12 strains, including billions Bifidobacterium breve and Lactobacillus casei.

For Children 4 to Adults: I recommend ProBiota 12 capsules. One capsule contains 25 billion beneficial bacteria in 12 strains, including billions of Bifidobacterium breve and Lactobacillus casei. In fact, it is just the same as ProBiota 12 Powder, except in vegetarian capsule form. There are no magnesium stearates, flow agents or anything artificial in this product.

I sure would like to hear your thoughts on this article. The power of probiotics is awesome.

Prevent absorption of BPA in you, your kids, your unborn and your loved ones with probiotics.

In health,

Dr Ben.

I am nursing, my baby is 8 month old and dairy free, what would you recommend for protein shake?

I assume the protein powder is for you – not baby?

Nursing is enough for your baby at the moment unless they're asking for more foods. If they are asking for more, you’d feed them steamed mashed organic vegetables.

If you want protein powder for you, I recommend Whey Slim by Seeking Health as it contains highly absorbable forms of amino acids and L-Carnitine which is beneficial for you and your developing little one.

There is no lactose in Whey Slim so if you have lactose intolerance, that is not an issue here.

Do not give baby any Whey Slim as it is a dairy product. We don't want baby eating any dairy until they are at least 1 years old, preferably 2.

I also recommend that you add 2 teaspoons of Optimal Fish Oil by Seeking Health to your smoothie as well. Makes it quite creamy.

The Optimal Fish Oil tastes quite good, free of metals and provides you and your little one EPA and DHA which is highly important for brain development.

I also recommend you take 5,000 IU of Vitamin D3 a day as breastfeeding mothers need to supply themselves and baby. Vitamin D3 is often quite low in mothers and in babies. Your baby will get the vitamin D3 and other nutrients via your breastmilk.

Research shows that infants taking probiotics from birth have less skin problems, improved immunity and digestive function. I highly recommend you consider giving your baby ¼ teaspoon of ProBiota Infant once a day after breastfeeding. Research also shows that babies taking probiotics absorb less toxins such as pesticides, herbicides, BPA, toxins from molds and bad bacteria to name a few.

Given that you are breastfeeding and need to remain healthy as well, I highly recommend you consider taking ¼ teaspoon of ProBiota 12 Powder after dinner. It is important that you don’t absorb toxins and metals from foods and the environment via your intestines because what you absorb goes into your breastmilk and into baby. I should also state that 70% of our immune system comes from our beneficial bacteria.

If your baby is suffering from colic, ear infections, teething, eczema or other ailments, do let me know. I’m well versed being a father of three boys and a physician.

Should you have any further questions, do let me know.

In health,
Dr Ben
