Injectable Gel May Be Long-Term Solution to Chronic Low Back Pain 

https://www.painnewsnetwork.org/stories/2026/1/25/injectable-gel-may-be-long-term-solution-to-chronic-lower-back-pain

"An experimental hydrogel continues to show promise as a long-term treatment for chronic low back pain caused by degenerative disc disease.

Findings from a feasibility study, recently published in the the journal Pain Physician, show that 60 patients with low back pain had significant improvements in physical function, low back pain, and low leg pain a year after Hydrafil gel was injected into their damaged discs....

Patients Are Much More Ill, and They Continue to suffer from a lack of Proper Medication

..."For more than a decade, the United States has been running a vast, uncontrolled policy experiment in medical care. Under the banner of “opioid reduction” and “overdose prevention,” regulators have steadily restricted, stigmatized, and in many cases effectively eliminated access to stable, physician-supervised treatment for pain, anxiety, and other chronic disabling conditions."

CHRONIC PAIN PATIENTS ARE NOT ADDICTS! JUST like INSULIN..YOU ARE PHYSCIALLY DEPENDEBT NOT ADDICTED TO INSULIN! UBAULSIN ANE NEED IT B IRDER TI REPir what the body acks!

Post from Facebook... The difference between PHYSICAL and METAL DEPENDENCE/ADDICTION

I SHARE THIS... THIS MORNING DUE TO A REMARK MADE ABOUT THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A CHRONIC PAIN PATIENT..NOT ADDiCTED TO THEIR MEDICATIONS..THEY MENTALLY DO NOT NEED IT..BUT PHYSICALLY THEY DO! THEIR IS A HUGE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ADDICTION" AND "DEPENDENCE"...
It is like someone eith High Blood Pressure needing their medications. They arw NOT ADDICTED, but their BODY IS DEPENDENT on it..same thing!
Furthermore, I would give anything to throw away medications and not need them!

There are ways we can reduce or eliminate the body's need for certain medications. BUT. Some are needed. UNTIL your body is in homeostasis, and things are not balanced due to diet, sedentary lifestyle, lack of sun, lack of some vitamins, and so on...

Here is what happened to me...

PAIN PUMP PAIN DOCTOR AND GASLIGHTING...

I had my pain doctor NOT get my meds called in, time and time again. I had a pharmacy that "shorted" me. The tech was terminated for that one. She was taking a few pain pills from mine, and I bet others. They tried to say I was to blame. Then they caught her after I was shorted 4 months now! There are MANY LEGITIMATE reasons pain patients can be shorted their meds. I appreciate you speaking out.🥰🥰 I had a pain doctor who was GASLIGHTING patients! He would not get our meds sent in as they should. I would have to call their office 5 or 6 times, and they always had an excuse. After research and a stunt he pulled on me on a pain pump surgery that I decided to NOT allow him to touch me".(after my first visit with him, he insisted my pain pump needed to be REPLACED.. he has tried to fill it then reset so it appeared like it was time for replacement but I had another YEAR before it shouod have been reolaced and it was working fine until he messed with it))... (I had a pain pump for 12 years, and I CHOSE to have it taken out after the gaslighting stunt)) I found out he had been in trouble and lost his license in CA for GASLIGHTING!! He comes to TX and does the same thing! After the pain pump stunt, he SUDDENLY EFT THIS AREA!! After I SAID I WOULD NO LONGER HAVE HIM AS A PAIN DOCTOR) He sent me a letter stating I did not follow orders! GUESS WHAT!? He is still practising in TX, less than 75 miles away, under the same darned clinic name! THE ONLY reason I had to go to him is that I had been seeing my Pain Specialist for 20 years, who has retired.🥲🥲 This gaslighting one was the only doctor close enough to refill my pump! HOW THE HECK CAN HE STILL BE PRACTICING again IN TX??? PLUS, it took me 4 MONTHS to find a new pain specialist! I WENT THROUGH ALL KINDS OF NOT MENTAL but PHYSICAL withdrawals from not having my medications!!! My pain level was so HIGH, and I was so ill. Due to that, it set my Lupus, RA, and entire immune system because A GASLIGHTING DOCTOR WANTED MONEY FOR A SURGERY I DID NOT NEED. PLUS, I have heart problems to boot, so you can imagine being in severe pain and setting off my immune system, how ill I was).🥲🥲😡😡😡

My Business card.. leave me a Message or and Me an E-mail

 I'm working on getting Podcasts, and I am still taking classes. I am thrilled to be nearly finished with classes and have my certifications...

I am happy to receive any comments... if you have something you feel would be crucial for me to talk about, I am thrilled for your input...

MINDSET is crucial for you to remain healthy, ENJOY LIFE EACH DAY, AND BE GLOWING!..

THROW the WORD "DIET" out of your vocabulary. It's antiquated, AND IT gives people a STIGMA, ESPECIALLY WOMEN.

Instead, use the word or words, "change the way you eat" your eating habits"... although the word habit can be a lousy word to use...

You can control when you eat, how you eat, what you eat, and where you eat.

Each of the above affects your health and your happiness.

You may or may not have a weight issue. Again, the word "weight" should be thrown out of your mind. Your goal is to find balance in all you do.

A positive and LOVING ATTITUDE TO YOURSELF and others goes a very long way!

If you are an early riser, step outside at dawn and let the sun shine on your face and body.

Sunshine brings a good feeling, provides Vitamin C, and helps you sleep by setting your internal clock (circadian rhythm)as needed. It allows other supplements and vitamins to work effectively.

"NOTE: I am NOT a Western medical doctor and cannot diagnose diseases. I can do you LAB WORK TO DISCOVER THINGS THAT CONTRIBUTE TO YOUR HEALTH ISSUES AND HELP WITH the way you eat, sleep patterns, and how to exercise correctly and not hurt yourself. Over-exercising is as bad as not... YOU MUST MOVE YOUR BODY DAILY.

I'd like to let you know that more TIPS TO COME TO HELP YOU. BE WHOM YOU WANT TO BE IN EVERY WAY!!! Often, I can help better than Western Medical doctors to restore homeostasis (balance of health, mind, and spirit).

"Your Heath cheerleader."

Introduction of what my practice and scope of treatment am offering... possibly more to come...

I will be offering some Lab Work if necessary... I WILL NOT REPLACE YOUR DOCTORS, BUT WORK WITH THEM...

I want to introduce myself to physicians with whom I need to have a relationship for patients. I'll introduce myself and let them know my scope of pract38ce.

Happy Holidays 2025 and Have a Wonderful New Years!

 Wishing you a Blessed, Healthy, and Magical Christmas and a New Year full of Joy, Hope, and Love!

My Functional Medicine Certifications are 78% complete...

 My Functional Medicine Certifications are 78% complete...

I'm proud to announce I've made great strides in getting my certifications completed, as well as having a site set up for lab work, ordering discounted supplements, and my business cards will be here in a few days. 2 of my doctors are on board to help sponsor a group or help get patients involved. I also have several ladies in my hometown, as well as online, who are very interested in my expertise.

I'm currently working on finishing my certifications (of course, one of which, and possibly more, is autoimmune-related). I'll be helping to tackle Lupus, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Sjogren's, Raynaud's, MS, Hashimotos Thyroiditis, and other AI issues.

I'll work with your physicians to help finish homeostasis in your body.

I'll be posting a lot of information here in my blog to help with different health-related problems, from sleep issues to eliminating inflammation in the body through diet, healthy types of exercise, and mindset. Mindset is a huge factor. YOU MUST correctly find your mindset in order to see that your body is reacting IN A POSITIVE WAY. 

The Mediterranean way of eating is excellent for reducing inflammation, heart-healthy, and full of delicious, easy recipes. Plenty of fresh fruit, vegetables, olive oil, nuts, seeds, legumes, limited dairy, like low-fat Greek yogurt (if you are NOT dairy limited), meats, such as chicken and turkey, LIMIT RED MEAT AND PORK are great for protein.

If you have not been exercising, begin walking outside, weather permitting, or inside if necessary. YOU MUST MOVE the body to rid the lymphatic SYSTEM OF TOXINS, 

Without exercise, you cannot feel or be healthy. It does not mean causing harm to the body by overdoing it, but doing something to get moving. 

A New Strain of Superflu going Around and Hitting N. Central Texas...

A New Strain of the Superflu is rearing its head in North Central Texas.

https://www.yahoo.com/news/us/article/a-new-flu-variant-is-creating-surging-cases-earlier-than-expected-and-causing-severe-illness-experts-warn-what-you-need-to-know-001640989.html

Technically, it's known as..." influenza A H3N2 or the subclade K variant."

Take plenty of Vitamin C and Zinc. Get lots of rest. Drink plenty of fluids, such as water or decaffeinated no-sugar drinks, take precautions in public by wearing a mask if you are immunocompromised or chronically ill, and eat healthy.

If you run a high fever, have a bad cough, notice chest pain, severe body aches, have not had a flu vaccine, and usually do, are over the age of 65 & have other health issues such as heart or lung problems ...

"Experts previously predicted that this flu season would be more severe than some previous ones, due to genetic changes to the virus that made it easier to infect people. And with the Southern Hemisphere seeing a rise in the flu subvariant this summer (which is the Southern Hemisphere’s winter, when the flu tends to circulate), experts believed that the same could happen here once our chillier months arrived. Australia, for example, broke its national record for flu cases this year, amid vaccine hesitancy..."

My Functional Medicine Certifications are nearly completed- Taking Patients After the New Year

 I am 65% finished with my Certifications, so I will be able to take patients after the first of the New Year!

Once they are completed, I'll post, and everyone can contact me via email, through Facebook Messenger, or by posting to let me know you are interested!

My NUMBER 1 priority will be autoimmune issues! One of my areas of expertise is Autoimmune Issues. I am taking these courses and getting certified to help others with autoimmune illnesses, syndromes, and problems, and to show you how WE can get you back to optimal health (homeostasis).

I've spent over 20 years with autoimmune diseases, syndromes, and issues myself. During that time, my research has been extensive. Due to WESTERN MEDICINE failing me and each of you, I've wanted to find a way to help others put these ailments into remission.

Last January, I took a Masterclass on Thyroid issues. When I delved into this, I discovered I have a wide range of ways I can help you feel well!

I've tried every biologic and medication available for Lupus, RA, and other AI issues. NONE of them has worked. The Western medicine field has failed EVERYONE! It failed our physicians. They have no clue about optimal lab ranges, not those of sick people.

When you have a doctor tell you about your lab ranges, they are going off of what the labs take from everyone in your area, old, young, sick, well, chronically ill, and more. They average all OF THOSE! That is not how you want your labs read!

Our doctors were not taught properly in college. They were taught to wait until we are ill, then prescribe medications to mask symptoms. 

Big Pharma, the government, and the entire Western Medical system are completely fractured. The government, Big Pharma, and the like would go broke IF WE WERE WELL.

I'LL BE YOUR HEALTH CHEERLEADER™!

Four Types of Processed Foods...

     Not all processed foods are BAD for you        

 We are deceived by the complexity of processed foods. Not all processing is a bad thing. When you see more chemical-type names on a food label, that is the one you should walk away from. For instance, next time you go by the freezer section of your market, check out the "whipped topping. You will not see once ounce of "food" labeled on there. It is all manmade chemicals.

Knowing what you eat, how you eat, when and where you eat, and why you eat is crucial to optimizing your health based on your nutritional needs. Remember, each person has a different way in which food, vitamins, minerals, and other necessary items are produced, and energy is produced by cells.
