How Your Joints Can Heal Themselves

Cancer Defeated Publications

How Your Joints Can Heal Themselves
If you have arthritis - or know someone who does - you're going to love this new arthritis-reversing discovery that puts an end to joint pain without drugs and makes replacement surgery unnecessary.
A famous M.D. tells me he's created a revolutionary non-drug treatment that halts joint inflammation ... rebuilds cartilage ... and restores mobility in 30 days or less. I have high respect for this doctor and his discovery is definitely worth a look.
It's not some "miracle" supplement, doctor- administered procedure or unsubstantiated gimmick. On the contrary, hundreds of scientific studies prove that arthritis, joint pain and degenerating immobility can indeed be reversed with this remarkable all-natural approach.
Most orthopedic surgeons will tell you it's not possible because they're only taught about painkillers and joint replacement.
But here's what one surprised doctor reported after viewing the x-rays of a patient who underwent this new arthritis-reversing treatment:
"This patient displays a remarkable recovery. His x-rays show new cartilage where there was very little just one year ago..."
All this is laid out in Dr. Stephen Sinatra's book; the 30-day plan that leads you step-by-step to an arthritis healing lifestyle.
Day by day, you'll see how to get off all those drugs and control your pain naturally, and actually re-grow soft, cushiony cartilage in your joints and between your vertebrae.
Best of all, it really works!
Arthritis Interrupted describes how you can be pain-free and actually reverse your arthritis.
If you don't feel a dramatic improvement in that time, return the book and we will refund your price with no questions asked.

Your Plan for Sculpted Abs
You're tired of the beer belly.

You want your love handles gone.

You dream of what it would be like to have a six pack.

On top of being less than attractive, excess belly fat increases your risk of diabetes and heart disease. While your midsection is one of the most difficult areas of the body to trim and tone, it can be done!

But it's going to take some work.

If your abs are completely hidden under an oversized belly, it takes more than just crunches to reveal toned muscle underneath. To burn off this extra layer of fat, you'll need to increase the intensity and consistency of your workouts and cut the junk out of your diet.

Get 30 to 60 minutes of challenging exercise five days each week. Call or email me to make your workouts more effective.

In addition to your regular workouts, include an ab workout every other day. What should your ab-centric workout look like?

Check out the exercises below to find what you should add to your ab routine. Choose four to eight of the following exercises and perform 15 to 20 reps of each.

The Bicycle
One of the best ab workouts that also works your obliques (side muscles) and back is the bicycle. Lying on a mat, put your hands behind your head and gently support your head with your fingers. Lift your knees toward your chest and lift your shoulder blades up off the floor. Twist your body toward the right, bringing your right elbow toward your left knee as you extend your right leg out straight. Switch sides by bringing your left elbow toward your right knee and extending your left leg. Continue in this pedaling motion.

The Crunch
A classic exercise known for effectively toning abs, the crunch starts as you lie on your back, bend your knees, and keep your feet flat on the floor. Bend your elbows and cross your arms over your chest. Keeping your lower back on the floor, use your ab muscles to lift your head and shoulders off the floor. Hold for three seconds, lower back to the starting position, and repeat.

Reverse Crunch
Targeting a tough area to tone—your lower abs—the reverse crunch is another great abdominal muscle workout. Lying on a mat, keep your arms at your sides with your palms facing down. Lift your knees up toward your chest until your knees are bent 90 degrees. Using your abs and avoiding a rocking motion, curl your hips and lower back up off the floor, lifting your legs toward the ceiling. Hold for several seconds and then lower your hips down. Repeat.

Trunk Rotation
To do a trunk rotation, you'll need a dumbbell or medicine ball. While sitting on the floor, hold the weight near your body, lean back slightly, and bend your knees so your heels touch the floor. Twist your body to the right, hold for a second, twist to the left, and then repeat, twisting to the right next.

Front Plank
Planks work your abs as well as your back. Lying face down on the floor, place your forearms on the floor. Lift your body up on your forearms and toes, keeping your elbows under your shoulders. Using your core muscles, hold yourself up for as long as you can until lowering to the floor. Practice your planks until you can hold yourself up for 60 seconds or longer.

Bird Dog
Another exercise that works both your abs and back is the bird dog. In a kneeling position with your hands and knees on the floor, raise your left leg up behind you until it's parallel to the floor. At the same time, lift your right arm up in front of your until it's parallel to the floor as well. Hold for a second, lower your leg and arm back to starting position, lift your right leg and left arm, and repeat.

Remember that your diet plays a huge part in getting flat, sculpted abs. Cut out all the junk from your diet by eating wholesome, real foods and drink plenty of water.

Want flat abs faster? Call or email me today and I'll get you on the fast track.

5 Steps to Sculpted Abs
  1. Stay Hydrated. Drink water throughout your day, rather than calorie-filled drinks.
  2. Cut Your Carbs. Eliminate bread from your diet, as well as carb-filled snacks like pretzels or chips.
  3. Exercise Your Abs. Perform the above ab exercises every other day.
  4. No More Sugar. Eating sweets is the easiest way to gain fat, so avoid sugar.
  5. Make Exercise Count. To make sure your exercise routine is effective, call or email me today.
Roasted Chicken and Veggies Dinner
Roasting a whole chicken with veggies is a wonderful meal and is much simpler to prepare than you might think. Make this recipe on the weekend and then enjoy nutritious leftovers throughout your week. Servings: 5

Here's what you need...
  • 3 bulbs garlic
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • salt and pepper
  • 4 Tablespoons coconut oil, gently melted
  • 1 Tablespoon each minced, fresh rosemary, oregano, tarragon
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • zest and juice from one lemon
  • 4 large organic carrots, cut into 1 inch pieces
  • 3 organic zucchini, cut into 1 inch half-moons
  • 1 cup pearl onions, ends trimmed
  • 1 cup Brussels sprouts, halved
  • 1 hormone-free, organic chicken
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 Tablespoon coconut flour
  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  2. Cut off the tips of each section of the garlic bulbs. Place the blubs in a small glass pan. Brush the tops with the olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cover the pan with aluminum foil and set aside.
  3. In a small bowl combine the melted coconut oil, fresh herbs, minced garlic, lemon zest and lemon juice. Set 1/3 of the mixture aside for the veggies.
  4. In a large bowl combine the carrots, zucchini, pearl onions and Brussels sprouts with 1/3 of the herb mixture. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
  5. Rinse your chicken and pat dry. Carefully slide your hand between the skin and the breast and liberally rub some of the herb mixture. Rub the rest of the herb mixture over the top of the chicken. Season the chicken with salt and pepper and tie the legs together with kitchen string. Place the chicken on a large roasting pan, and surround it with the veggies.
  6. Roast the chicken and veggies for 30 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F, pour 1/2 cup of chicken broth over the chicken and veggies, and place the garlic pan in the oven off to the side.
  7. For the next 90 minutes, pour 1/2 cup of broth over the chicken and veggies every 30 minutes as it cooks at 350 degrees F.
  8. To see if the chicken is done, poke the tip of a sharp knife between the leg and body and see that the juices run clear. Transfer the chicken and veggies to a large platter. Add a couple of the roasted garlic bulbs to the chicken platter, reserving one for the gravy.
  9. To make gravy: Pour all of the roasting pan juices into a skillet and bring to a simmer. Remove the garlic cloves from one of the roasted blubs and smash with a fork. Add garlic to skillet. Mix in the tablespoon of coconut flour, and whisk the gravy as it simmers. Cook for 10 minutes, or until desired thickness. Season with salt and pepper.

Depleted Firebirds Wilt Down the Stretch in 76-71 Loss at Mercy

February 2, 2013


DOBBS FERRY, NY – The Firebirds led by as many as six at the mid-point of the second half but crumbled down the stretch as they fell, 76-71 to East Coast Conference foe Mercy on Saturday afternoon.
With just two substitutes at his disposal, head coach Jeff Ruland's District of Columbia squad had three starters play all 40 minutes and one starter, senior guard Keith Brooks (Journalism – Queens, NY/Monsignor McClancy), played 31 minutes despite not being 100-percent. The loss drops the Firebirds to 2-17 overall (1-10 ECC) while Mercy improved to 3-16 overall and 2-9 in the league.
Junior transfer guards Michael Terry (Criminal Justice – Philadelphia, PA/Boston U) and Quasim Jones (Business Management – Philadelphia, PA/Johnson CC) led the Firebird attack with 20 and 19 points, respectively. Jones also handed out three assists while Terry grabbed a team-high seven rebounds. Junior transfer swing player Ralph Watts (Sociology – Peekskill, NY/UAlbany) also recorded 12 points, six rebounds and a team-high four assists, and Brooks pitched in with 10 points and three rebounds.
Joseph Pope led all scorers with 21 points on 9-of-19 from the field (3-of-6 from long-range) to go along with seven rebounds. Kirk Bailey was also a huge force for the Mavericks inside with a double-double of 18 points and a game-high 15 rebounds.
Bailey made his first two shots of the game for the game's first four points and Chaz Morrish knocked down a three-pointer to cap a 9-2 Mercy run to begin play. Terry then started and put the finishing touches on an 8-2 Firebirds surge with two three-pointers, the second of which pulled District of Columbia within one, 11-10. Twice Mercy extended its lead to five, but the Firebirds would force three ties at 17, 20 and 22 with three-pointers by Brooks and Jones and a layup by sophomore forward Florent Pontens (Business Management – Tarbes, France/Cheshire Academy). After the Mavericks regained the lead with a three-pointer by Remi Mignotti at the 7:46 mark, District of Columbia answered with back-to-back two-point baskets to take its first lead of the game, 26-25 with 6:20 to play before halftime. A tie and six more lead-changes would ensue before Mercy wounded up taking a narrow, 38-36 lead into the intermission.
Brooks buried a three-pointer for the first points of the second half, putting the Firebirds in front 39-38 nearly a minute into play when the action resumed. District of Columbia out-scored their hosts 8-2 in the opening two minutes to take a 44-40 advantage following Brooks' second trey of the half. Though the Firebirds would surrender the next four points and allow Mercy to tie the game once more at 44-all, District of Columbia never relinquished the lead for a period of 11:19, going up by as many as six points (61-55) after an and-one layup by Terry at the 10:21 mark.
But that is precisely when Mercy got a move on, beginning with a three-pointer by Morrish just before the 10-minute mark. That three-pointer ignited an 18-3 Maverick run that catapulted the hosts into a 73-64 advantage with just under five minutes to play. With little left in the tanks, the Firebirds tried to fight their way back into the game, pulling within five after a pair of free-throws by Jones at the 1:27 mark, but that was the last of the scoring on the day for either team.
After the two teams were dead even at 16 in points in the paint in the first half, the Firebirds were outscored 26-12 in the second half. District of Columbia had also shot slightly better in the first half (46-percent to 44-percent) but Mercy shot a blistering 59-percent (17-of-29) from the field in the second half compared to the Firebirds' 44-percent (11-of-25) shooting. The Mavericks also shot better from three-point range for the game (10-of-22 to 10-of-27), making up for the fact that they did not make a single free-throw (they were 0-for-3 for the entire day). District of Columbia, which was 0-for-6 from the stripe in the first half, began to make amends by making 9-of-11 in the second half, but it was too little too late. The Mavericks also had the edge in the assist/turnover ratio (17/12 to 11/11).

District of Columbia Mauls Mercy, 94-46 to End Three-Game Losing Skid


 
February 2, 2013


DOBBS FERRY, NY – Eleven different Firebird players entered the scoring column including five in double-figures as the University of the District of Columbia walloped winless Mercy, 94-46 in East Coast Conference action at Mercy Gym on Saturday afternoon.
The Firebirds put the brakes on their three-game losing streak as they improved to 8-13 overall and 3-8 in league play with today's win. This also marked their first conference road victory of the season in six tries. Mercy fell to 0-19 overall and 0-11 in the ECC.
All 12 Firebirds players made significant contributions as District of Columbia posted its highest scoring output and most lopsided win in nearly two years. Senior guard Janelle Junior(Administration of Justice – Riverside, CA/La Sierra HS) shot 6-for-8 from the field including 4-of-6 from long-distance to lead all scorers with 18 points. Sophomore guard Denikka Brent (Mechanical Engineering – Chesapeake, VA/Booker T. Washington HS) added 14 points, eight rebounds and a game-high four steals. Freshman forward Tiara Goode (Forensics – Brentwood, NY/Brentwood HS) notched season-highs of 12 points and eight rebounds, freshman forward Tatyana Calhoun(Environmental Science – Disputanta, VA/ Sussex Central HS) posted 11 points and seven rebounds, and junior guard Julissa Anderson (Criminal Justice – Greensboro, NC/Southeast Guilford HS) pitched in with 10 points.
Other notable performances came from senior reserve guard Ty Abilla (Mass Media – Galloway, NJ/Absegami HS) and freshman reserve guard Tajruba Baldwin-Kollore. Abilla did a little of everything for the Firebirds, stuffing the stat sheet with eight points, seven rebounds, a career-high six assists and four steals. Baldwin-Kollore scored eight points and grabbed three rebounds.
Mercy was led by two double-figure scorers – starting forward Aysha Williams (16 points, five rebounds, four assists) and starting guard Maria Narduli (13 points, five rebounds, three steals).
District of Columbia's Anderson made two three-pointers in the opening 2:11 to help the Firebirds to an early 6-2 lead. Then, following a Danielle Losee three-pointer to bring Mercy within one (6-5), District of Columbia raced out to a 12-1 run highlighted by two consecutive three-pointers by Junior, and the Firebirds, who made four of their first six three-point attempts of the game, had an 18-6 lead with 13:40 to play in the first half. Mercy scored the next two consecutive baskets to cut the deficit to a manageable, 18-10 at the 12:38 mark, but that was as close as the Mavericks would get the rest of the way. District of Columbia, already ahead by 13 (30-17) with 4:18 left before intermission, closed out the half on an 8-0 run to take a commanding, 38-17 lead at the break.
A little over a minute-and-a-half into the closing frame, Mercy's Nardulli connected on a three-pointer to pull the Mavericks within 19, 42-23. But the Firebirds' shut-down defense held their hosts to two points over the next 6:18 while they went on a 25-2 surge and put the game out of reach with a 69-27 lead at the 11-minute mark. Head coach Lester Butler, Jr. emptied his bench in the second half, and still the Firebirds maintained a lead of 40 or better for the final nine minutes of regulation. Abilla would score all eight of her points, Baldwin-Kollore six of her eight, and juniorSnezana Blagojevic (Business Management – Kragujevac, Serbia/Towson Catholic HS) knocked down both of her two three-point field goals, all in the second half as the Firebirds' bench totaled 41 points in the second half (58 for the game).
District of Columbia out-shot their hosts 49-percent to 25-percent from the field and dominated on the boards, 56-31. The Firebirds outscored the Mavericks, 46-14 in the paint, and they turned 23 offensive rebounds into 24 second-chance points while holding Mercy to just three second-chance points. District of Columbia was also the much more efficient passing team (19 assists/19 turnovers), forcing Mercy into 27 turnovers while the Mavericks posted just eight assists.
