When your knees chronically hurt you are told they are a sign of aging and degeneration, which is very true … but did you know there is a method of treatment to regenerate your knees? Prolozone therapy results in about 75% of chronic pain sufferers to become permanently pain free. Chronic pain occurs in areas of the body that are especially vulnerable to the effects of decreased oxygen utilization and aging. Prolozone therapy with procaine, natural anti-inflammatory medications, vitamins & minerals and ozone gives the tissues what they need to heal. And as they heal, the circulation to the knees is re-established.

A therapeutic dose of light applied to injured tissue leads to a cellular response that reduces pain and inflammation and speeds up the healing process! The primary target is the cytochrome c complex which is found in the cell mitochondria. Cytochrome c is a vital component of the electron transport chain & as laser light is absorbed, cytochrome c is stimulated, leading to increased production of Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP)/energy within the cell. Nitric Oxide is also produced which improves microcirculation in the damaged tissue, delivers oxygen, vital sugars, proteins, & salts while removing wastes. WHERE THERE IS BLOOD FLOW & ENERGY THERE IS HEALING.

Q: Can contact lenses melt on your eye?

A: No, contact lenses don’t do that. Some contact lenses actually protect against UV light. Contacts don’t really liquify in heat like other plastics do, and they’re not really biodegradable or dissolvable. Exposure to heat (like from an oven or furnace) can make the contact lenses and eyes feel much drier, and this would require plenty of lubrication to feel better.

Considered the parasympathetic nerve, the vagus nerve is essential to relaxation. Reaching many organs, some of its key roles involve the digestive system, heart rate, blood pressure, and inflammation. Of course, these are all important to calming you down after an event; that’s why the parasympathetic nervous system is the “rest & digest” part of your autonomic nervous system, as opposed to the sympathetic nervous system, the “fight or flight” part. Often, your vagus nerve is not stimulated enough, which tells your brain to stress and remain active in case an emergency arises. Ask us how you can strengthen your vagus nerve, so you can feel calmer.
