Most referrals occur not because family doctors are uncertain as to whether a patient has had a seizure or not, nor because they are seriously concerned in every case about the possibility of serious underlying disease, but for the following reasons:

Posture – that is how the various parts of your body are positioned at a given time – will greatly affect how much pressure is exerted upon your spine as well as, perhaps more importantly, how that pressure is exerted.

Using magnetic sources to influence the body’s state of health is, of course, not a new idea, but what is new is that today’s ever more sensitive electronic instruments can now track down and confirm the various effects. From this modern research into an ages-old therapy has emerged confirmation that some types of pain can [...]

Your mind-body system has been working all night, preparing the most urgent deposits for disposal. Your bowel should be full, despite the fact, that you cleansed it thoroughly only a few hours ago and that you have not eaten anything that night at all.
