Fixing Frozen Shoulder? We'll see.

Frozen Shoulder is a challenge indeed. And one I must say is an inconvenience.
To overcome it, I have found takes eating alkaline to completely reduce the pain it delivers to your biceps, your shoulder, your sudden movement- the kind you take for granted.

When I am eating alkaline I feel completely different. I start getting back a larger range of motion.
It sure beats the not being able to raise my arm above 4'oclock hand position on a clock.

I came across this link for the standard understanding of Frozen Shoulder.

Dr Udo Erasmus speaks about inflammatory problems and how they are the most common symptom of many diseases. He explains the benefit of essential fatty acids in preventing diseases.

Magic of EFA's

Udo's Blend Oils

Just as a member of a large family has many roles, essential fats serve many functions in the complex workings of the human body. Taken in the right amounts and ratios, and taken from the right sources, essential fats help establish and maintain health as follows . . .

Increase energy, performance, and stamina. EFAs enhance thermogenesis, help build muscle, prevent muscle break down, and speed recovery from fatigue;

Strengthen the immune system. EFAs make hormone-like eicosanoids that regulate immune and inflammatory responses. Omega-3s have anti-inflammatory effects and can slow autoimmune damage;

Lower most risk factors for cardiovascular disease. EFAs (especially n3s) lower abnormally high levels of blood pressure, triglycerides, Lp(a), fibrinogen, tendency to clot formation, and inflammation;

Improve brain function: mood, intelligence , behavior, and vision. Our brain is over 60% fat. EFAs are important components of the entire nervous system. They are necessary to make the neurotransmitter serotonin. Depression and other brain diseases show decreased levels of omega-3;

Aid in weight reduction. EFAs help keep mood and energy up and suppress appetite, thereby aiding in weight loss. More recently, they have been found to block the genes that produce fat in the body (saturated and Trans Fat do not have this same effect) and increase thermogenesis;

Regulate organs and glands. Liver and kidneys, adrenal and thyroid glands, and the production of male and female hormones need EFAs;

Speed recovery and healing. EFAs are necessary for cell growth and division. They form all cell membranes and regulate vital cell activity;

Support healthy child development. For nervous system development, a growing fetus needs optimum EFAs from the mother's body. Mothers become depleted of EFAs during pregnancy, and need optimal EFA intake for their health and their children's optimum development;

Improve digestion. Poorly digested foods tie up the immune system and can cause gut inflammation, leaky gut, and allergies. Omega-3s improve gut integrity, and decrease inflammation and "leaky gut";

Decrease infection. EFAs have anti-fungal, anti-yeast, and anti-microbial properties, helping to protect against infections;

Keep bones strong. EFAs aid in the transport of minerals that keep bones and teeth strong, helping to prevent osteoporosis;

Protect genetic material. EFAs regulate gene expression, and omega-3s inhibit tumor growth;

Ease PMS. Studies indicate that omega-6 (GLA) intake was voted, by women, among the top three most effective PMS treatments. Omega-3s may be even more effective;

Produce beautiful skin, hair, and nails. Some of the first signs of EFA deficiency are dry, flaky skin, dull hair, and brittle nails. omega-3s can help skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, and acne. Also, GLA (omega-6 derivative) administration is useful for some patients with atopic eczema.

Today I felt armed and ready to fight the inflammation going on inside my body. To live with any pain is not an option I want to live with. Last night I was carrying a couple of cold drinks up to my daughter and caught the stairs wrong, in a huge effort to save the drinks, my left arm (bad arm) came down naturally to try and break my fall, while the other arm tried to save the drinks from spilling.
An enormous wave of pain shot down my left arm (bad arm), I dropped one drink and managed to keep the second one standing. All I could to to recover was walk quickly around the house in circles with my arm limp at my side, walk it off, walk it off, walk if off. It took a few minutes to begin to calm down. And it did.

Waking this morning, I set out to pick myself up some natural anti-oxidants/anti-inflammatories from Vitamin Shoppe. I posted what I picked up in the previous post.

They say how you feel is a direct result of what you eat, so today I focused on juicing and drinking alkaline. Drank as much as I could drink; alkaline water, alkaline water with pHour Salts.

About 6pm I fixed my girls dinner and ate a vegetable kabob with juice.
To help with underlying pain, I took 2 Tart Cherry Extract capsules.
Then took an epsom salt bath.
Hydrotherapy is a known secret to faster recovery, so I put my huge garden tub to good use:
I stretched my bad arm and my good arm as it floated and relaxed in the epsom salts.

Then just before bed, I began using my new infared heating pad from Sharper Image. The magic of in- fared!!

Result: I feel less pain than yesterday! That's progress!
Summary: I really like the hydrotherapy version of exercising, working that bad arm is no fun on the wall or counter. Less stress, less pain. Hydrotherapy seems to produce greater range of movement I think! Least is feels that way tonight!
