Last year Pat emailed me asking for help – she and her husband Dan wanted to get back on track with their health: Dan is taking too many prescriptions! He would like to get off as many as possible. A Marine, he ran 18 marathons and climbed 20 something 14’ers over his lifetime, plus Mt. Kilimanjaro. Up until last October, he was walking 3-4 miles per day until he tore his meniscus. He had a knee replacement 4 months ago and is disappointed that he is not doing better, although he has done all the PT. He has arthritis and stenosis of his lower spine. I just reversed osteoporosis to osteopenia, and would like to keep it that way, or… [Read More]

A Family Success Story
Trouble: What Can I Do? Last month, Laurin, a mother of two, called to ask me if vibration could help her son Michael with his allergies. She told me that he had developed allergies as a small child and that over the years they had tried all kinds of over-the-counter drugs, prescription medications, and natural products without significant relief. Now he is a senior in high school, and for the last three years his allergies have been worse; for three years his nose has been so stuffed up that he’s been breathing through his mouth. Laurin was worried how Michael would cope at college next year. There are, in fact, many effects of Whole Body Vibration which can help to… [Read More]
Chronic Headaches & Sinus Congestion
Peter called me in December 2013 wanting to get started with Whole Body Vibration. He had been hearing about its many anti-aging and empowering benefits, such as brain and neurological stimulation, increased bone density, human growth hormone, testosterone, and serotonin levels, and lowered pain and inflammation, all wrapped up in a quick, effective workout. He said he was 63 years old and in good health with no problems, and he wanted to stay that way as long as possible! I sent him a vibration machine and he got started, but just days later he emailed me to say that it wasn’t working out very well – he was feeling worse instead of better! Peter turned out to have had chronic… [Read More]
Get Moving and Enjoy Your Life !
Nancy P. had to stop exercising because of chronic lower back pain. She was also feeling drained and stressed, with low energy, incontinence, and moodiness. She had tried many natural approaches as well as western medicine but with little effect. Two weeks after starting her Whole Body Vibration (WBV) program with me, along with a low-carb diet and a few natural supplements, she was thrilled to find her back pain much better, enough so that she could start walking again after months of inactivity. In addition, her energy level had increased, her bladder problem was better, and her mood great. Whole Body Vibration stimulates every system in your body and has many health promoting effects that help to support the… [Read More]
Losing Weight with Whole Body Vibration
When I met Sophia, she was in her mid-50s and wanted to lose at least 40 pounds. She also had high blood pressure, cholesterol, and triglycerides (which had been treated with medications for many years), and numerous digestive system symptoms (gas, bloating, heartburn, and constipation). She had tried numerous diet programs, sometimes lost some weight, but always gained it back. She was discouraged and wanted to get off her drugs. Gentle Whole Body Vibration (WBV), plus a targeted diet and supplements to address a gut flora imbalance combined to help Sophia lose 40 pounds in 6 months and to keep that weight off for years afterwards. Also, her blood pressure, cholesterol, and triglycerides all dropped dramatically. By the end of… [Read More]
Side-Lined by Nerve Pain
Dick After the 2012 Boston Marathon When I met Dick in 2007, he was a long-time runner who had been forced to give up running entirely since 2000 due to the severe pain and lack of function in both feet. In his 30 years of running before this life-altering situation side-lined him, he had completed 30 marathons. Totaling up all his miles, he liked to tell you that he had run around the world. Dick had been to numerous doctors and neurological specialist who had tried drugs and surgery with no improvement. In fact, he sometimes ended up worse. The final diagnosis was incurable nerve degeneration due to unknown causes, likely to worsen as he got older. At his first… [Read More]

Get Smarter with Whole Body Vibration
A Potent Anti-Depressant Effect Whole Body Vibration raises serotonin – the major anti-depressant neurotransmitter (natural chemical) in your brain. This effect happens very quickly – many people report a better mood, greater energy, and better sleep by the next day, some report they are calmer and happier by the time they get off the vibration plate. Higher levels of serotonin leads to greater focus, motivation, and self-confidence. Many people suddenly finish projects they have been avoiding, everything from cleaning houses to writing projects. Exercise Builds your Brain In Jogging Your Brain, a New York Times magazine article published on April 22, 2012, the author, Gretchen Reynolds, states unequivocally, “For more than a decade, neuroscientists and physiologists have been gathering evidence of the beneficial relationship between exercise and… [Read More]
Detoxing with Whole Body Vibration
What is detoxing and why do you need it? Our environment is loaded with thousands of toxins, including heavy metals, environmental toxins, prescription medications and antibiotics. It is estimated that there are over 30,000 chemicals in common usage today in the US. As much as we try to avoid them, if you eat, drink and breathe you will have built up levels of all sorts of toxins in your body as well. In an PBS TV special several years ago Bill Moyers, as a typical healthy person, had his blood tested at Mt Sinai School of Medicine. 84 different and highly toxic substances were found in his blood and body. Toxins have been linked to many chronic diseases. Detoxing is the process of your body ridding itself of… [Read More]
