You all have cancer! Now- what to do about it!
YES! READ THIS AND PASS IT ON, I'VE BEEN SAYING THIS FOR 5 YEARS NOW!
John Hopkins Update
AFTER YEARS OF TELLING PEOPLE CHEMOTHERAPY IS THE ONLY WAY TO TRY ('TRY', BEING THE KEY WORD) TO ELIMINATE CANCER, JOHNS HOPKINS IS FINALLY STARTING TO TELL YOU THERE IS AN ALTERNATIVE WAY.
Cancer Update from Johns Hopkins :
1. Every person has cancer cells in the body. These cancer cells do not show up in the standard tests until they have multiplied to a few billion. When doctors tell cancer patients that there are no more cancer cells in their bodies after treatment, it just means the tests are unable to detect the cancer cells because they have not reached the detectable size.
2. Cancer cells occur between 6 to more than 10 times in a person's lifetime.
3 When the person's immune system is strong the cancer cells will be destroyed and prevented from multiplying and forming tumors.
4. When a person has cancer it indicates the person has multiple nutritional deficiencies. These could be due to genetic, environmental, food and lifestyle factors.
5. To overcome the multiple nutritional deficiencies, changing diet and including supplements will strengthen the immune system.
6. Chemotherapy involves poisoning the rapidly-growing cancer cells and also destroys rapidly-growing healthy cells in the bone marrow, gastrointestinal tract etc, and can cause organ damage, like liver, kidneys, heart, lungs etc.
7. Radiation while destroying cancer cells also burns, scars and damages healthy cells, tissues and organs.
8. Initial treatment with chemotherapy and radiation will often reduce tumor size. However prolonged use of chemotherapy and radiation do not result in more tumor destruction.
9. When the body has too much toxic burden from chemotherapy and radiation the immune system is either compromised or destroyed, hence the person can succumb to various kinds of infections and complications.
10. Chemotherapy and radiation can cause cancer cells to mutate and become resistant and difficult to destroy. Surgery can also cause cancer cells to spread to other sites.
11. An effective way to battle cancer is to starve the cancer cells by not feeding it with the foods it needs to multiply.. *CANCER CELLS FEED ON: a. Sugar is a cancer-feeder. By cutting off sugar it cuts off one important food supply to the cancer cells. Sugar substitutes like NutraSweet, Equal, Spoonful, etc are made with Aspartame and it is harmful. A better natural substitute would be Manuka honey or molasses, but only in very small amounts. Table salt has a chemical added to make it white in color. Better alternative is Bragg's aminos or sea salt. b. Milk causes the body to produce mucus, especially in the gastro-intestinal tract. Cancer feeds on mucus. By cutting off milk and substituting with unsweetened soy milk cancer cells are being starved. c. Cancer cells thrive in an acid environment. A meat-based diet is acidic and it is best to eat fish, and a little chicken rather than beef or pork. Meat also contains livestock antibiotics, growth hormones and parasites, which are all harmful, especially to people with cancer. d. A diet made of 80% fresh vegetables and juice, whole grains, seeds, nuts and a little fruits help put the body into an alkaline environment. About 20% can be from cooked food including beans. Fresh vegetable juices provide live enzymes that are easily absorbed and reach down to cellular levels within 15 minutes to nourish and enhance growth of healthy cells. To obtain live enzymes for building healthy cells try and drink fresh vegetable juice (most vegetables including bean sprouts) and eat some raw vegetables 2 or 3 times a day. Enzymes are destroyed at temperatures of 104 degrees F (40 degrees C). e. Avoid coffee, tea, and chocolate, which have high caffeine. Green tea is a better alternative and has cancer fighting properties. Water-best to drink purified water, or filtered, to avoid known toxins and heavy metals in tap water. Distilled water is acidic, avoid it.
12. Meat protein is difficult to digest and requires a lot of digestive enzymes. Undigested meat remaining in the intestines becomes putrefied and leads to more toxic buildup.
13. Cancer cell walls have a tough protein covering. By refraining from or eating less meat it frees more enzymes to attack the protein walls of cancer cells and allows the body's killer cells to destroy the cancer cells.
14. Some supplements build up the immune system (IP6, Flor-ssence, Essiac, anti-oxidants, vitamins, minerals, EFAs etc.) to enable the bodies own killer cells to destroy cancer cells.. Other supplements like vitamin E are known to cause apoptosis, or programmed cell death, the body's normal method of disposing of damaged, unwanted, or unneeded cells.
15. Cancer is a disease of the mind, body, and spirit. A proactive and positive spirit will help the cancer warrior be a survivor. Anger, un-forgiveness and bitterness put the body into a stressful and acidic environment. Learn to have a loving and forgiving spirit. Learn to relax and enjoy life.
16. Cancer cells cannot thrive in an oxygenated environment. Exercising daily, and deep breathing help to get more oxygen down to the cellular level.
Oxygen therapy is another means employed to destroy cancer cells.
1. No plastic containers in micro.
2. No water bottles in freezer.
3. No plastic wrap in microwave. Johns Hopkins has recently sent this out in its newsletters. This information is being circulated at Walter Reed Army Medical Center as well. Dioxin chemicals cause cancer, especially breast cancer. Dioxins are highly poisonous to the cells of our bodies. Don't freeze your plastic bottles with water in them as this releases dioxins from the plastic. Recently, Dr. Edward Fujimoto, Wellness Program Manager at Cast le Hospital, was on a TV program to explain this health hazard. He talked about dioxins and how bad they are for us. He said that we should not be heating our food in the microwave using plastic containers. This especially applies to foods that contain fat. He said that the combination of fat, high heat, and plastics releases dioxin into the food and ultimately into the cells of the body. Instead, he recommends using glass, such as Corning Ware, Pyrex or ceramic containers for heating food You get the same results, only without the dioxin. So such things as TV dinners, instant ramen and soups, etc., should be removed from the container and heated in something else. Pa per isn't bad but you don't know what is in the paper. It's just safer to use tempered glass, Corning Ware, etc. He reminded us that a while ago some of the fast food restaurants moved away from the foam containers to paper. The dioxin problem is one of the reasons. Also, he pointed out that plastic wrap, such as Saran, is just as dangerous when placed over foods to be cooked in the microwave. As the food is nuked, the high heat causes poisonous toxins to actually melt out of the plastic wrap and drip into the food. Cover food with a paper towel instead.

I'm back!
Sorry all you obsessed golfers!
Hey, so since I've been gone for a while, looks like winter snuck up on me!
So here's is what I recommend to start a successful winter:
GET INTO THE GYM AND GET WITH YOUR INSTRUCTOR TO CREATE A WINTER LESSON PLAN!
That's right! Get in to see me, then get with your instructor and tell them you want a winter instruction plan that will guide you to leading the 2010 season off with a bang!
You see, the PGA tour players are doing just that. They are working on their fitness and weaknesses/struggles they had with their game during the season...right now!
So get after it, and if you need help, let me know...I'm here for you!

Sorry it's been a while!
Since we last visited we finished up helping out the players at the Mens Colorado Open, we've been to another TPI certification, except this time I got to participate in the teaching of the class...definately a blast! We went up to the beautiful Red Sky Ranch and put on a 3D full day experience, and the participants loved it!
We have also been out to the Denver Bronco Kids day out at Green Valley Ranch, and helped the players out at the Denver Open, where more of Colorado's best golfers participated in a great tournament that benefitted the Fellowship of Christian Athletes. We definately support this great ministry and the impact it has on our next generation!
Today we were out at a golf tournament that benefitted the Denver Academy which helps kids that struggle in school...another great cause to support!
Tommorrow we will be out at GVR again for the last of the Colorado Open's, this time it is the Seniors trun to "take a whack" at the course, and we will be out there helping them play their best as well!
I hope you have all played well this summer and look forward to the fall golf that's ahead!

My dream facility for you
So let's consider this post an "outward" prayer or desire...
And that is my "dream facility" that, so far, exists only in my head! Course I do know one day it will come to fruition, but here's a snapshot of my madness...
First, the entire space would be about 10,000 sq ft and is broken down to,
1. A 40w X 100L space with 18-10 ft ceilings for an indoor driving range with 8-10 practice areas, and to do 3D Motion Capture.
2. A 40 X 60ft office space area with a large office for me, a waiting room, and 4 smaller offices for massage, MAT, chiropractic, etc.
3. A 60 X 60ft gym area
4. A curtain net that could be pulled back and open up the driving range area to be used for junior golf clinics and allow for indoor sprinting, throwing, kicking etc.
5. And don't forget about two big garage doors on the gym side that can be opened!
There! Now it's out there, and I hope you get excited about as well, and maybe one day we'll be blessed with the opportunity to open Colorado's only indoor driving range, 3D Motion Capture system, and golf conditioning center!
Keep training and playing hard!

Stop Whining!
Ok, for those of you who already participate in a golf fitness regimine of some sorts, well, you already know this...for the rest of you, if you really love the game and aren't considering the fitness side of golf, then you are missing the boat!
It is such a bummer how prevalent this problem is! Golfers love the game soo much, yet complain just as much about pain, scores, their high handicap, not improving and all the others that they love to whine about!
I mean really! What other sport our there is there such an attitude like this by amatuer players? Seriously, think about it! Can you think of any sport where a majority of the amatuer players struggle as much as with golf?
I can't.
Which leads me to my point. GET YOUR BUTT INTO THE GYM!
If you start working on making yourself have better posture, flexibility, stabilty, mobility and strength, then YOU WILL be a better golfer!
So suck it up and get started, the benefits are endless and it's only for a half hour a day for gosh sakes!

Don't Succomb to the pressure!
Today, my collegue Isabel De Los Rios wrote a great blog post on diet, so I wanted to post it for your enjoyment and use!
__________________
It never seizes to amaze me that the people in our lives we think would be the most supportive of our health and fitness goals sometimes are the ones that sabotage us the most.
You know who I'm talking about. Those family members and friends that tell you:
"Oh, just have one piece."
"Oh come on, you only live once."
"Are you really not going to eat any of this?"
We all have these "bad food" villains in our lives and if losing weight wasn't hard enough, this does not make the situation any easier. (I know you can agree with me on that one.)
Trust me, I've heard it all. In all the years that I have been eating healthy, I don't care to repeat some of the ridiculous statements that have been said to me by my family and friends (Love you guys).
Here are some ways you can deal with these "bad food" villains, I mean loving family and friends while still maintaining your cool and achieving all of your health goals.
1.) Remember most of the people who are trying to sabotage your new healthy eating plan are just jealous or upset that they do not have enough determination, will power and commitment to do it themselves. Please be compassionate. If we want people to be compassionate with us, we must show compassion towards them (yup, now we're back in kindergarten). Respond to them with statements that only describe you, not them. You do not want to offend anyone or hurt anyone's feelings (or at least I hope you don't).
Try statements like:
"I really feel great eating this way. It's made such a difference in my life already."
Or
"I know I am doing something great for my health and I feel awesome about it."
Or
"I really want to be a good role model for my family and my children. I want to show them all healthy habits."
Who can say anything negative to that? (I know, I'm sure you've got at least one person). What you have done however, is not attacked them at all and you have kept it positive. No sense in resorting to childish antics like "Nani Nani Poopoo, I'm healthy and you're not." Come on, nobody wants to hear that.
2.) Next are those situations where you are in someone's home and you do not want to offend them. If this is a dinner party, just do the best you can. I promise you, you will not be sabotaging all of your good efforts by eating one meal that is not part of your plan. It might actually be a good break from your routine. Here's where most people go wrong. They think if they had one bad thing now need to throw in the towel all together. One meal is NOT enough reason to give up on your health goals. Make your grandma happy by eating her lasagna (or whatever the meal may be) and don't go overboard. One piece is enough and you have not offended anyone. Wake up the next day and move forward with your healthy food, like nothing ever happened (Lasagna? What Lasagna? I didn't see any Lasagna.) Don't torture yourself, or reflect on the meal. Telling yourself you have failed and then harping about it is actually worse than eating the bad food. No more beating yourself up!
3.) If you find that there are just some people who are super negative about what you are doing no matter what you try, don't talk to them about your eating. I would love to tell you to avoid these people, but sometimes they are people who are the closest to us. Show them the wonderful side effects of healthy eating just by your actions alone. Your results will speak for themselves. I gave up on trying to convince certain people of the true benefits of healthy nutrition a long time ago. It was just too exhausting and I'm pretty sure they are now well aware of all the wonderful benefits just by my own results and actions.
Listen, don't let anybody tell you that you can't do anything, especially reach the health and weight goals that you want. Show them what you've got by your amazing results and that will be enough to keep most people from trying to knock you down.
In health and happiness,
Isabel De Los Rios

Trust me, I've heard it all. In all the years that I have been eating healthy, I don't care to repeat some of the ridiculous statements that have been said to me by my family and friends (Love you guys).
Here are some ways you can deal with these "bad food" villains, I mean loving family and friends while still maintaining your cool and achieving all of your health goals.
1.) Remember most of the people who are trying to sabotage your new healthy eating plan are just jealous or upset that they do not have enough determination, will power and commitment to do it themselves. Please be compassionate. If we want people to be compassionate with us, we must show compassion towards them (yup, now we're back in kindergarten). Respond to them with statements that only describe you, not them. You do not want to offend anyone or hurt anyone's feelings (or at least I hope you don't).
Try statements like:
"I really feel great eating this way. It's made such a difference in my life already."
Or
"I know I am doing something great for my health and I feel awesome about it."
Or
"I really want to be a good role model for my family and my children. I want to show them all healthy habits."
Who can say anything negative to that? (I know, I'm sure you've got at least one person). What you have done however, is not attacked them at all and you have kept it positive. No sense in resorting to childish antics like "Nani Nani Poopoo, I'm healthy and you're not." Come on, nobody wants to hear that.
2.) Next are those situations where you are in someone's home and you do not want to offend them. If this is a dinner party, just do the best you can. I promise you, you will not be sabotaging all of your good efforts by eating one meal that is not part of your plan. It might actually be a good break from your routine. Here's where most people go wrong. They think if they had one bad thing now need to throw in the towel all together. One meal is NOT enough reason to give up on your health goals. Make your grandma happy by eating her lasagna (or whatever the meal may be) and don't go overboard. One piece is enough and you have not offended anyone. Wake up the next day and move forward with your healthy food, like nothing ever happened (Lasagna? What Lasagna? I didn't see any Lasagna.) Don't torture yourself, or reflect on the meal. Telling yourself you have failed and then harping about it is actually worse than eating the bad food. No more beating yourself up!
3.) If you find that there are just some people who are super negative about what you are doing no matter what you try, don't talk to them about your eating. I would love to tell you to avoid these people, but sometimes they are people who are the closest to us. Show them the wonderful side effects of healthy eating just by your actions alone. Your results will speak for themselves. I gave up on trying to convince certain people of the true benefits of healthy nutrition a long time ago. It was just too exhausting and I'm pretty sure they are now well aware of all the wonderful benefits just by my own results and actions.
Listen, don't let anybody tell you that you can't do anything, especially reach the health and weight goals that you want. Show them what you've got by your amazing results and that will be enough to keep most people from trying to knock you down.
In health and happiness,
Isabel De Los Rios

Get a team!
You know... as a certified TPI professional, one of our beliefs is...
"We do not believe there is one way to swing a golf club, in fact we believe that there is an infinite number of ways to swing a club. but we do believe there is an effecient way to swing a club and it is based off what the body can do."
I mention this because I have recently been asked by numerous people questions and issues about their swings.
Here's the deal. After years of testing clients in order to create flexibility and conditioning programs and seeing their positive affects on their game; from almost 15,000 amatuer and 1400 tour pros being tested at TPI...the conclusion is...your body affects your swing more than anything else that will prevent your from the success you desire!
So PLEASE, don't just listen to your golf instructor as the ONLY professional that you take advice from to create and perfect your game!
Please know that your body issues will negatively affect your game if you don't address them! Consider a team approach!
Ok, this isn't just about Golf, regardless, you should have a great chiropracter, a great massage therapist, a great golf fitness coach, a great PGA qualified golf instructor and great equipment.
Together this team will not only help you be the best athlete you can be, but the best golfer you can be! Afterall it is the exact team that TPI recommends and it is the same one that I use for my PGA tour winners!

Get your life back!!
Sorry it's been a week!
I didn't know that Arron was going to be here for four days, so I am a little behind!
But, the coolest thing happened while he was here, and I tell you this because I want to encourage you to continue to persue your fitness and performance goals no matter what they are!
Arron came into town down in the dumps about where his body was. It was sore, tired, and his wrist surgery he had last august was still very painful.
But I scheduled him for his appointments to see one of my Chiropracters that I use and he had used before, Doc Trisha Shaar. She found that his hand (left) was contributing to a lack of nuerological communication from the hand and arm to the brain. Knowing this, she referred him to Doc Paul Thom who is a Chiropracter that specializes in extremity adjustments, and let me tell you, he went thru Arron's hand and elbow and adjusted 3 hand bones, and made 2 elbow corrections.
Immediately Arron could move his elbow and hand into positions he couldn't before and with out pain!
Now, the second important part.
I performed my extensive testing and created a program for him (that took 3.5 hrs BTW!), and I got a call from Arron today telling me how great it feels to feel the strength and stability coming back into his arm, shoulder and hand!
So, in the end, even if you have pain or lack of performance...just know that it is happenening to the best of the best athletes in the world, and all you need to do is seek out a great "body" team and be persistant with your care and conditioning program and you to, can live a life that you desire!

Swing Fault- "Sway?"
Defined-
A sway is any excessive lower body lateral movement away from the target during the backswing that forces the weight to the outside of the back foot. This fault makes it very difficult to develop a proper weight shift during transition and the downswing. If there is no stable platform to drive their weight off of during transition, golfers will lose power and inadvertently try to develop speed in an inefficient manner.
Causes-
1. Right Hip Internal rotation- is paramount for full rotation into the right hip without any lateral sway for a right handed golfer. If the body is unable to rotate around the right hip due to joint or muscular restriction, lateral movements will dominate the pattern.
2. Separation of Lower and Upper body- Separation of lower and upper body allows the lower body to laterally stabilize while rotating during a large shoulder turn. Limited trunk to pelvis separation is usually caused by reducing spinal mobility and shortened lat flexibility.
3. Glute Strength- The ability to stabilize the right leg during the backswing is directly proportional to the strength and stability of the glute muscles (your booty!) When it comes to lower body lateral stabilization, the glute medius is the king! It helps the right hip from elevating and shifting laterally during an aggressive coil into the right hip.

Remember, I believe that the way to permanently get rid of swing faults is to find out what causes them, address them with a strong golf fitness program, while simultaneously seeing your golf professional for drills!

My kid will beat your kid!
Parents, do you want your young golfer to be successful?
How about the best in the state, or get a golf scholarship?
Then if they are under 12yrs old, they should NOT be on the range hitting golf balls!!!!!
They should NOT be on a structured lesson plan with an instructor!
They should NOT be playing only one sport, golf!
"What," you say?
That's right, the above statements are true and have sound research behind them!
In fact, the golf industry is not friendly to the junior golfer. It is still geared towards adults and teaches kids those adult tendencies. This is NOT how we need to teach our kids to be successful and long term golfers who love the game!
If your kid is under 12, they need to be focusing on the "fundamental movement skills" that all great athletes learn when they are between the ages of 4 and 12. All great professional athletes became great athletes as kids, not as pros!
Here's what I mean. If you kid only plays golf from 5yrs old, they may be good young, but they will be surpassed by those who started later and who played other sports. That's right, my kid will beat your kid everytime!
Here's the solution...kick 'em out the door and make them play. You also need to bring them to athlete development clinics for long term athletic development, and make them play at least 3 different sports till they're 12!
Our T.A.R.G.E.T (Teaching athletes required golf exercise techniques) program will teach your kids how to be great athletes FIRST, THEN great golfers...and that is how you make great high school, college and PGA players!
