Comment on ASEA Water – A Briny Review by Susan

Susan — Sat, 19 May 2012 16:24:46 +0000

I just purchased 2 bottles from my vet to use on my aging golden retriever. My vet wasn’t prescribing this but shared with me how she felt this product had good results with some of her other dog patients. I jumped on the opportunity to give this a try before any agressive and expensive treatment is rendered. My dog has 2 abdominal tumors surrounded by increased abdominal fluid, enlarged gallbladder & an ulcerative area on her leg that she constantly licks. She has also been on anti- seizure Meds for the past 6 years. She has trembling and muscle weakness (symptoms of distress due to other various conditions?)
I do know this so far, I applied the Asea to her leg and within just 24 hours, the redness, rawness and irritation has greatly diminished, thus she has stopped licking at it. I should have taken a starting photo. I’ll repost when I have something to report on her health condition.

Comment on Talent is Overrated: Summary and Reaction by sayed ibrahim

I got inspired by” In order to become great, you must understand how a few became great” Frankly what i read from “Talent is overrated, what really separates” could wake up the power inside me and psyched me up for success. I advise every one to read this book so as to uncover and release the unconscious obstacles that hold them back from creating the life they desire.

Comment on The Sleeper Stretch: Essential to Shoulder Health by Dan Blewett

Jack,

I wish I could help, but I’m not really sure. I do have a very high awareness and some conscious control of many of my shoulder muscles, but I can’t say I’ve experienced that tightness or strange feeling you describe. You could try some soft tissue on the tight spots – working a baseball or lacrosse ball into the spot as a self-massage. Sorry I couldn’t be more help, but thanks for reading. Dan

Comment on What To Do After Pitching by Dan Blewett

Alan and I simply have different philosophies, and it depends on what the rest of the week’s schedule looks like. You could do everything I mentioned after a long toss session just the same as after a start. I advocate the large workload after pitching because it gives maximum rest time before the next outing; for long toss, being fresh for next time may not be a concern at all.

Dan,

Do you suggest the same process following long-toss? If yes, why do you suppose that Alan Jaeger has the arm circles – stretching – arm exercises BEFORE long tossing, and only recommends a light set of arm circles and exercises afterwards? If you don’t recommend this process after long-toss, why not?

Thanks!!

You have a awesome blog, so helpful and well informed. I have a minor shoulder injury from serving in tennis. I got an MRI and everything was fine except for some very minimal inflammation. My shoulder does not hurt, but it just feels strange, not quite right. I have been doing the blackburns as shown on your blog and they seem to be helping a bit. I went to a PT and she said my shoulder didn’t look too bad but that my supraspinatus was very tight and even slightly contracted and she recommneded these stretches. I just started doing them and now it seems that strange feeling might be GIRD as you stated above. I don’t have pain but something feels off and when I do those sleeper stretches I am super tight and right after I do these stretches that strange feeling seems more noticable although not in a bad way. Do you think that it is possible a feeling of tightness is what is making my shoulder feel strange but I just don’t really recognize it as tightness because I am not as aware of the muscles of my rotator cuff the same way I am with a something like my hamstrings? You seem to have lots of experiecne in this area so I would really appreciate your opinion and any advice you can offer.

Yeah, that was supposed to be “skippy” not sloppy!!! Lol

As an aside, me being in the veterinary field an all, I went online to research if I could give this to my 13 yr old Pekingese mix dog. I figured, if it helped me, and the redox signaling molecules are the same no matter the species, WTF? So I have been giving it to him as well. He can’t tell me if he feels better, obviously, and he HATES it, but his skin allergies have definitely improved and he is faster going up and down the stairs. Take it for what you will. I am pleased with the stuff, anyway…

There was a double blind crossover study done at NC State Human Performance Laboratory, results of which were just made public. This study, done by an independent lab, showed athletes who drank Asea before exercising had a shift in 43 metabolites. Fatty acids were released in the blood for muscle metabolism before exercise even began, Which spared muscle glycogen and amino acids. According to this study, Athletes can go harder for longer periods, recover quicker, and use fat stores instead of muscle. You may not have felt an obvious difference, but this study proves scientifically and without doubt Asea is not just chlorinated salt water. I did my own study because I am in the veterinary medical field and was sure this was just BS snake oil medicine. I have horrid tendinitis in my ankle, and with working 13 hr shifts on my feet AND being overweight, I could hardly walk down the stairs to my apartment after work. I took Asea twice daily as recommended for a week. Not only did my ankle feel netter, but my knees and upper back didn’t ache. I stopped taking it, attributing the change to new shoe inserts I got. I stayed off it for 2 weeks and was back on the NSAIDS like they were candy. I started Asea again and could see a remarkable difference in 3-4 days. Do I think Asea will work for everyone? No. Body chemistry, attitude, etc. I am sure play a part. But if it works for me, damn sloppy I am going to tell people about it…
