Methuselah

• In ancient times, people may not have worn shoes.

• Walking on stones was a ready-made health insurance.

• If I walked on smooth stones daily, would it encourage better health in my body?

• The 7200 nerve endings in your feet say, “Yes!”

Alternative and Complementary Healing

• Healing the problem does not mask the symptoms.• Medications mask symptoms, but do not cure the

underlying illness.• Sickness breeds apathy, sadness, lack of

motivation, and resignation to age-related aches and pains.

• Alternative and Complementary therapies show us that we do not have to feel so bad at “our age.”

• Time is necessary to heal and cure—alternatives take more time, but the results are more lasting.

Marie Writes

• For years I have been off balance when walking. I would veer to the right and could not walk in a straight line. As I left my first reflexology appointment in April 2008, I was amazed to be walking in a straight line to the car.

• My legs felt lighter and easier to move, which gave me more get up and go in the morning. My legs improved with each treatment and have been holding.

• I have a constant pain behind my right ear, which was diagnosed as a nerve pressure, but doctors were not able to relieve the pain. Since having reflexology treatments the pain has diminished.

• Reflexology has helped me get around better. I want to get up and go now instead of just sitting. I always say to Connie, “Just keep me on my feet until it’s my time” and she is doing that.

The Great Toe

• The Thyroid may have a direct effect on several diseases including: diabetes, fibromyalgia, and some cancers.

• Taking good care of the thyroid may help ward off many diseases. It is difficult to prove because you do not get the disease if it is prevented!

• Taking good care of the thyroid may help diabetics control their diabetic complications, such as diabetic wounds. (See Case Study)

Reflexology and Diabetes

• Diabetics may have wounds that will not heal, amputations, loss of sight, and many other complications from being diabetic.

• Weight control is difficult for many diabetics.

• Medical implications for diabetics are astronomical and costly.

• Does reflexology help these issues?– Mom– Case Study

Walking on Stones

• Creating an atmosphere of well-being in the body’s systems by walking on stones—a theory. 

• Treatments are best, but when you cannot get a treatment, try walking on stones.

• Buy 10 bags of smooth stones at a dollar store, or discount store.

• Lay them out on the floor in a pile and walk around on the stones. If the stones stick to your feet walk around on the stones that stick.

• Work your own reflexes this way and begin to experience reflexology’s benefits!
