Angels in my life Osteopath Jason Brandow

As the worries for Megan falling back into old patterns of uncontrolled menstrual periods hits home I take a moment to think about Jason who actually got Megan to the point last June where she was healthy for 9 months.

Time can make you forget details and I had totally forgotten that when I first brought Megan to wonderful Osteopath Jason he discovered 2 things that could be accounting for the odd bleeding patterns that Megan encountered.

First he discovered that an area in her brain was slightly blocking her pituitary gland which as a result blocks her hormones from working through her body correctly.

Second he discovered that her uterus was twisted…this can also account for strange reactions in her menstrual cycle.

The last treatment that Megan received was in May 2010. There has been 9 months for her uterus to revert back to its twisted state and her pituitary gland to be blocked again. This is so logical to me and I now have a lot of hope for Megan as she returns to visit Jason tomorrow for a treatment.

Ultimate Sports Therapy in Mississauga Ontario absolutely are angels in my life.

Tomorrow I will share the difference Brandon has made to our lives but today its about Jason.

I was unemployed when I met Jason. He is in final stages of his study of osteopathy. This clinic really wanted to help Megan and they did it out of their hearts.

Osteopathic Manual Therapy (OMT) is a holistic form of hands-on therapy or “Manual Medicine”. This means that any part of the body that is in pain or dysfunction can benefit since OMT’s goal is to restore proper function to the body. An Osteopath practices OMT by applying very gentle but powerful techniques to realign the body and stimulate its inherent natural ability to heal itself. The results of Osteopathy are often fast and long-term!

I am a believer , Megan was dealing with extreme vertigo, extreme mentstrual periods and fatty liver disease when Brandon introduced us to Jason. Over 4 or 5 treatments Jason took Megan from a child who was unable to walk, always in pain, and bleeding uncontrollably to a child who spent 9 months being a normal teen. Walking, running, dancing at her grade 8 graduation.

Brandon clearly made a difference as well with ensuring she was eating the right foods and allowing her to take her anger out on him!

If you ever get frustrated with the medical community, if you ever get tired of taking all those pills that seem to be masking a problem or creating a new one…consider osteopathy as part of a holistic complete therapy package….

I might just have to consider a treatment for myself on that note!

Wishing all the powers of Osteopathy and Jason bring Megan the relief she needs again!!

Thank you Jason, thank you ,thank you ,thank you!

Progress on other levels!

I continue to move forward with my exercise, and my nutrition, went to my family doctor for a physical and she is absolutely thrilled with my blood pressure, and all my blood results except for one little number that will be resolved with my new lifestyle soon.

My coaching is also looking at the self defeating habits and teaching me to view things differently. I am in a processing mindset right now ,some of it hurts and makes me cry, but all of it is correct and its time i lived the life I am entitled to without all the baggage of my past.

Now for what is really on my mind!! My daughter Megan is the key to my getting healthy, she has been a sick child and I have to model for her the right eating and exercise for her to start getting healthy too.  She is currently dealing with extreme dizziness, stomach issues, and general pain throughout her body. I knew after the traditional medical system was unable to find answers for her and prescribed anti depressants and physio that she had been written off.

So I have moved into the Alternative medicine world for her, she saw an osteopath on Tuesday this week. He spent an hour with her and found that her uterus is twisted like a corkscrew , which is likely the cause of a lot of her pain. her liver is covered with fat and is not functioning at a good level which in turn will not properly detoxify her body and is  causing more of the pain. Her brain does have some overlapping that has blocked her pituitary gland as well. Some of this may be related to the dizziness but there are no promises it will resolve that. We can look forward to relieving some of her pain, and a side effect could be an improvement in her ability to walk.

This gives us HOPE again. We had hope when we went to Sick kids and it was destroyed. I have faith in my team now and megan feels validated for the first time in 2.5 years of illness!!

I know we have made the right decision for Megan and I am praying that we can finally get her the relief she so desperately needs to be a normal 13 year old girl!

This is a thinking week, a processing week, a learning week….I am growing!

I found a simple test to ensure your vitamins are effective try this:

TESTING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF YOUR CURRENT VITAMINS

Few people know that the majority of vitamins and supplements on the market today fail to fully dissolve after consumption. This is largely due to a process known as compression, which compacts the contents so tightly that they cannot breakdown during the digestion process. As a result, most of the nutrition simply passes through the body, without you receiving the full – or any – of the intended benefit.

A simple test can show you the difference between good multivitamins and the other leading brands. Mix one-half a cup of warm water with one-half cup of white vinegar (this liquid will mimic the acidic conditions within your stomach). Drop the brand you’re currently using into the mixture  Wait 30 minutes and then look at the differences.

1. The supplement has not dissolved – in fact, it looks almost like it did when you placed it in the mixture. In this case, you are likely to excrete all of the contents of the supplement, which means you’ll not get any of the promised nutritional benefits.

2. The supplement has only partially dissolved, and is now floating on top of the mixture, possibly stuck to the side of the glass. In this outcome, you are likely to excrete most – if not all – of the contents of the supplement, thereby depriving your body of the promised nutritional benefits. Not only that, but you’re likely to experience an upset stomach.

3. The supplement has mostly dissolved, but the contents have sunk to the bottom of the glass. As in the second case, you are likely to excrete the contents of the supplement, depriving your body of the promised nutritional benefits.

4. The supplement has fully dissolved and is floating on top of the mixture. This is the result you should expect from your supplement, and it means that your body will benefit fully from the included nutrients.

Hope this helps you ensure that your vitamins are helping you….if your vitamin is not effective get in touch with me for one that is!!

Have a great week!
