Running

[treelizard]

Actually, this thread is NOT about running, and you were making fun of homeopathy.

Hard practice everyday(except for saturdays) these past weeks. I scored a quick 50 second pin on wendsday and a third period tech fault last night. My opponent had 6 points, all from escapes(me letting him up), i had over 20 points but the ref let us continue until the end up the third period even after i got the tech. My record is 4-0 so far. 3 pins, 1 tech.

Besides team practice in the mat room, Ive been doing alot of situps, pushups, stretches and squats(with no weights) on my own time, plus working out in the weight room.

They use potentized poison to treat poison, yeah. I'm taking arnica and rhus, for example, in potentized forms, but if I ate arnica and poison ivy, I would die.

They don't use the same amount of poison to treat poison, because that's like hitting yourself in the head twice, but they use a more moderate amount to simulate the response needed from the body.

I used some arnica (200c) last time I literally dropped a weight on my finger--was expecting a huge bruise and just got a teeny tiny one.

Believe in it or don't, I really don't care, all I know is that my chiropractor was extremely impressed by how quickly my injury is healing, and I didn't ice for twenty minutes three times a day like he told me, and one of the stretches I was supposed to do, I was doing wrong, and ice, acupuncture, and everything else I'd tried before didn't have this kind of effect.

Ice is not used in Chinese medicine--they say it pushes the injury deeper and creates problems in the area later in life.

Homeopathy sometimes uses ice but only to treat frostbite--they often use the law of similars. Mild heat is used to treat burns, inflammation, etc. Like cures like.

The question is, what is the real nature of the injury, and how do you treat that, instead of just icing something to palliate the pain... or treating swelling by constricting the tissue, even though the swelling is there for a reason.

In any case, I had no luck with icing when I was icing, and chiropracty with homeopathic rhus, ruta and arnica are definitely doing the trick, so I'm happy.

My chiropractor said I'm doing way better! He's like, "Remember last week when I used way less pressure than I am now and you almost killed me? Remember when you couldn't move your hand this way at all?" I guess the homeopathic and chiro combo is working! He recommended another week off and then a half-intensity week...and more stretching. And ice, which I won't use, but whatever. Anyway, he's good, I'm happy, and I have an excuse to take another week off.

I mean, even our relatively well-adjusted semi-hippie tree is moderate on one of those...

No way....

I found this clip from a documentary on the marines.



If you're ever unmotivated, this will do the trick!
