The year was 1970 and I was a freshman in High school. It should have been an exciting time but instead it was depressing. Why? You guessed it. I had bad acne problems.

It got so bad some days I didn’t want to go to school. My grandmother came to my rescue. She shared with me an old home remedy for acne.

But before I tell you about what this 100% all natural product is let me tell you that it has no harsh chemicals that leave your skin red, irritated or swollen, not to mention some of the other side effects listed below.  It will help heal the scars from picking at your face. It will help get rid of black heads.  This home remedy will transform your to skin silky smooth and soft.

Commercial acne products (proactive, accutane) not only can harm your skin but they are EXPENSIVE!  And in cases where the customer experiences dryness they recommend you buy another product: an oil free moisturizer.  You can also experience red itchy bumps, dark spots or red blotches. The makers of proactive recommend still three more products a cleanser, toner and repairing lotion.

Some users can be very sensitive to Benzoyl Peroxide (main ingredient in acne formulas) and may experience swelling, irritation, redness or peeling. If these symptoms persist you are recommended to consult a physician. MORE MONEY SPENT. I don’t think I would even want to experiment with these chemicals.

Other side effects that are common: Chapped lips (90%),  Dry skin and itching (80%), Dryness of nose, mild nosebleed (80%), Irritation of the eyelids and eyes (40%), Joint and muscle pains (15%), Temporary hair thinning (10%), Rash (7%), Intestinal symptoms (5%), Urinary symptoms (5%), Headache (5%), Increased sensitivity to sun (5%), Decreased night vision (<1%), Depression, thoughts of suicide (<1%).

Okay….are you ready for me to reveal my grandmother’s secret handed down home remedy?

Banana! Yes you read that right. What you do is go to your health food or grocery store and ask for over ripe bananas. The ones that are turning brown and they take to the back of the store and throw away. All you need is one banana. If you are at a health food store get organic bananas. If they don’t have any that are turning brown…buy the regular bananas and let them sit on your kitchen counter for a week or two. Once they turn pretty brown and start to ooze put on a small plate. Cut a small piece about 1/3 of the banana and mash with a fork. Put the mashed banana on your face like a face mask and ideally leave on all night. In the morning rinse off in the shower.

I would usually do this about an hour before bedtime. By the time I was going to bed it was pretty dry. In the morning you take a shower and it all comes off with warm water. If you absolutely don’t want to sleep with it on your face,  leave it on for at least two hours, then rinse off. You will begin to notice a change in your skin within a week. Try it…it’s safe, inexpensive and all natural. Go bananas with it!!

Do Magnets Really Work For Pain Relief?

Back in 1994, I was involved in a pretty bad car crash. I was driving south down a busy street and the light turned yellow as I approached the intersection. I had the right of way and proceeded to cross the intersection. Another vehicle which was traveling in the opposite direction (north) decided to take the turn in front of my vehicle.

All I remember is hearing a very loud crash, metal crushing and glass breaking. The next thing I  remember was I heard a siren in the distance. I had been unconscious for approximately 5 minutes. When I opened my eyes I could see a crowd of people gathered at the corner of the intersection and some people were pointing towards my car. There was quite a bit of commotion as me having been unconscious for that length of time might have had people thinking I was dead.

The seat belt kept me from hitting the steering wheel but the impact was so hard it knocked me unconscious. I had an abrasion on the side of my neck and a swollen bruise on my chest from the seat belt. My knees hit the dashboard and I suffered a severe whiplash injury to my neck. After months of therapy my left knee still bothered and in fact got worse. As a Chiropractor the last thing I wanted was to undergo a surgery. I went ahead and scheduled arthroscopic surgery for a torn meniscus (cartilage) with a local orthopedic surgeon I knew from playing tennis.

The day before my surgery I received a G-mail and was instructed to go to the tennis club and look for my friend Juan, a tennis instructor. Ross Walker, who was the club director there at the time, saw me limping through the club and asked me to look at something. He pulled out a notebook and showed me some testimonials from different doctors and therapists on the use of magnets.

I asked Ross how he found out about this. I told him I had heard magnets were being researched while in Chiropractic School but that there was not much information available yet. Ross told me there had been an anesthesiologist who flew into El Paso to play in a Tennis Tournament a few weeks ago. In between one of his matches he was sitting on a bench rubbing his elbow with a small apparatus. It turned out to be a magnetic massaging device called a Magboy.

I explained to Ross I was scheduled for surgery the next day but that I would be more than willing to cancel my surgery and try out the magnets.

To make a long story short…. after only one week of usiong the magnets I was able to walk without limping or pain. I could put pressure at the point where I had the pain and still feel some pain but not like before. Three more weeks of using the magnets and I was completely out of pain.  I never had the surgery.

I will be posting a link to a company I buy my magnets from. There are many imitators of magnetic products. Just like everything I recommend, I try the products first on myself and then I try them on my patients to see how they respond. Buyer beware.

Magnets work! You just need to get good quality magnets and wear them the right way and for long enough time. Some people may require longer times to heal than others. People who smoke generally take longer time to heal. If you are in poor health you may also take a longer time to heal. You may have to do a few other things if you are slow to heal with only the magnets.

Be patient and persistent.

Drug makers Johnson and Johnson have expanded their recall of some of their over the counter drugs.

The list of drugs now includes batches of regular and extra-strength Tylenol, children’s Tylenol, eight-hour Tylenol, Tylenol arthritis, Tylenol PM, children’s Motrin, Motrin IB, Benadryl, Rolaids, Simply Sleep, and St. Joseph’s aspirin.

FDA officials critized Johnson & Johnson’s delayed action in recalling the drugs, stating that the agency knew of the problem since early 2008 but only made a limited investigation.

This is typical of drug makers, quick to profit slow to recall. History is full of examples where it took thousands of innocent people dying before drug makers recalled their products.

Did you know that Tylenol was developed because of the stomach irritation and gastric bleeding caused by aspirin. If you think you’re safe because you only take a baby aspirin read on.

Although Tylenol (acetaminophen) is contained in over 200 medications, most of them do not have the name “Tylenol” on their labels.

According to many websites, doctors and drug makers, Tylenol most likely does not cause serious liver damage in recommended doses. It can cause elevations of liver enzymes in the blood suggesting injury to the liver. That “most likely does not cause serious liver damage”  becomes “will cause serious liver damage” if you drink alcohol (even one drink!) or take other over-the-counter (OTC) and or prescription drugs.

In a study done, even recommended doses of Tylenol given to healthy subjects for two weeks caused mild to moderate reversible liver injury. Tylenol, like all other medications should be used cautiously under a doctor’s supervision with monitoring of liver enzyme levels. If your doctor is not monitoring your liver enzymes, for whatever reason, you are at a potential risk of serious liver damage.

With so many natural alternatives to Tylenol, ibuprofen, aspirin or even prescription drugs why would anyone risk so many side effects, many times serious, and even risk dying because of taking these drugs?

By the way, that little aspirin pill that has been promoted by thousands of doctors to prevent a heart attacks has been the cause of thousands of cases of deaths due to bleeding ulcers. You take it to prevent a heart attack but then die from a bleeding ulcer. I think the better approach is to prevent a heart attack by living a healthy lifestyle. Makes much better sense to me.

According to  A. Mark Fendrick M.D.,  “People should realize that even a baby aspirin is not free of dangerous side effects. Aspirin is not benign. Thousands of people die each year in the United States from complications related to taking aspirin and other NSAIDs.

“When you take aspirin, the level of stomach protection is decreased and you’re more likely to bleed. Thus, people who take aspirin regularly – even in a buffered or coated form – will have roughly double the likelihood of having a perforated ulcer or bleeding in the GI tract,” explains Fendrick.

“Relatively little attention is paid to this problem that kills more people in the U.S. each year than asthma or cervical cancer,” he continues. The risk of stomach bleeding is increased substantially if aspirin is combined with other NSAIDs (both over-the-counter and prescription strength).

As for me and my family we will continue to remain drug free.

I ordered this machine because I was curious what I would get for the price.

It is a very decent and solid machine.  It took less than thirty minutes to assemble.

I have used many different types of Inversion machines and I honestly have to say that it is well worth the price.

It’s simple to set up and sturdy. You can adjust the strap to whatever desired angle you want. I weigh 220lbs and it holds my body very nicely. I use it at about a 40 degree angle and it works fine.

I personally don’t feel comfortable hanging completely upside down as it tends to bother my ankles. I have had patients use it while completely upside down and they  feel fine. It’s a matter of you got to try it and see for yourself.

Some people feel good in that position and some don’t. Those that do not feel comfortable hanging completely upside down set it at around 40-45 degrees like I do.

Hanging upside down is great for back pain, disc herniations, muscle spasms, scoliosis, neck pain facet syndrome, gravitational fatigue and increasing blood flow to the brain. It also has other anti-aging benefits as well.

Inversion Therapy is a well kept secret that many doctors don’t want you to know about. If at first it doesn’t produce the desired results be patient. Be consistent. I recommend at least three sessions a day of one to three minutes each time. Don’t sit too long and don’t bend over the wrong way.

Try it, you’ll love it! Any questions email me at drcmgonzalez50@yahoo.com or post your comments at the bottom. Thank you and Happy Hanging!
