Most patients with high blood pressure who wish to try complementary therapies don’t know how to go on about finding someone to consult. Whichever therapy you choose to try, be it Western or complementary medicine, the most popular thing is to find someone who is adequately qualified. At the moment, there is little to prevent someone with minimal training - or even no training at all - setting themselves up in business as a practitioner and treating clients. In untrained hands, complementary therapies can do harm.

One of the biggest concerns with most diets and other types of programs out there is that many of them are very hard if not almost impossible to maintain over a very long period of time. Many people worry about the bounce back effect that they experience after being on an especially restrictive diet. Others start a new workout program with all of the best intentions, but find themselves back to the way they were within a few weeks. So it would seem that the secret to lifetime fitness is not in small cycles of effectiveness and then longer periods of no progress. Instead, we need to focus our time and efforts on lifestyle changes,

variety, and constant intensity to achieve lifetime fitness.

THE LEG I DIDN’T HAVE JUST KEPT ON HURTING

“I don’t know how this works, but it does.” Those were the words of Bill twelve weeks after his first visit to Healthy Visions Wellness Center where hypnosis was used to teach Bill how to control his Phantom Limb Pain. Prior to this, Bill was taking pain medicine two to three times a week. Sometimes the pain was so unbearable that he went to the emergency room for intravenous pain medication.

On a beautiful fall day fifteen years ago Bill went deer hunting at a favorite spot in the mountains near Huntsville, Tennessee. As he reached the area where he would set up his deer stand he was taken down

by a severe deep cramping and burning pain in his right leg. A pain so severe that it brought tears to his eyes and a scream of agony from deep inside. A pain so intense that he was unable to walk or even stand. He was down and lying on his back with the only way down the mountain was to use his rifle and good left leg to push himself inch by inch. Moving only a few inches with each desperately painful push for what seemed an eternity. “I pushed with my rifle just like I learned to do in the army when crawling
under machine gun fire,” Bill said. “Of course crawling under that machine gun fire and concertina wire wasn t nothing compared coming down that mountain thinking I was dying of pain.” The pain was unrelenting and after what seemed to be a life time he finally reached where he had parked his truck.

I m originally from South Wales my father was a scratch left hander, my mother also a left hander shot in the low eighties consistently.

If you are not going to be a serious golfer, and just play as a social thing to do with friends and business associates don t try to play with a full set of clubs, trying to pick the right club to play a specific shot ruins more games

for the casual golfer than anything else.
