This week, we are hosting a 4 Week BootCamp at our office (every Sat. At 7:45am) focusing on essentials #2 and Essental #5.
Burst or Surge Training, a type of Exercise, consists of short/high intensity bursts of exercise with minimal rest periods.
A typical routine would look like the following:
Routine :20-sec-spike 20-sec-recovery 20-sec spike 20-sec-recovery 20-sec-spike 2 min-recovery(3 sets)
For example: if you were going to perform jumping jacks as your exercise, you would do jumping jacks as fast and hard as you can (with good form) for 20 seconds, then you would take a 20 second rest, then 20 seconds of exercise, then 20 seconds of rest and finally one more 20 seconds of exercise then take a 2 minute rest. You would then repeat this 2 more times for a total of 3 sets.
The great thing about this type of exercise is that it can be completed in 12 minutes a day, you can perform any type of exercise (ie curls, squats, running in place, jump rope, spinting, etc.), and it can be done right from your home!!! What else could you ask for!!!
The biggest excuse that i run into with people about exercise is " I dont have enough time for exercise!!!" When the truth is you simply don't make enough time for exercise; exercise is not a priority in your life. If it were, you would schedule it in, just like you schedule your work, every week for the rest of your life.
What does it take to help people to realize that we were only blessed with one body, and we must consistantly (on a daily basis) do everything possible to keep it healthy???
Start exercising todya and reap the benefits for years to some!!!

When the Cure is Worse Than the Disease
"One way to build an income in private medical practice is to hook patients on drugs that continually require re-examination, testing and prescription renewal. Blood thinners, for example, require prothrombin tests to determine how long it takes the blood to clot. Blood pressure pills require monitoring of blood pressure. And once patients start taking acid-blocking medications, they will find it is nearly impossible to stop taking them -- withdrawal will provoke rebound acidity with throat-gripping pain.Critical examination of the effectiveness of prescription drugs reveals convincing data that most prescription drugs are not only ineffective but may worsen the condition being treated. Some of these medications appear to be designed to create life-long dependency upon the drug, since drug withdrawal exacerbates symptoms. Even some long-standing drugs that are the hallmarks of modern medicine have begun to lose their biological punch.The major classes of prescription drugs are failures. Most drugs are never designed to address the underlying biochemical causes of disease -- and they may intentionally be designed to create life-long dependency." (Source: Mercola.com)
Dr. Dustin's Thoughts: "In 2006, when my father was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer, we were told that he would have to rely on a daily blood thinner injection that cost $155.00 per shot. That would equate to $1085.00 per week, $4340.00 per month, and $52,080 per year. WOW!!!
The ultimate goal of reaching your maximun health potential is to never get to that point in which my father did. Act like you have heart disease everyday, act like you have cancer everyday...what i mean is do everything in your power to avoid these diseases..with your nutrition, with your exercise, with your lifestyles, with every aspect of your life!!!

Do Drugs Cure You?
Do you truly believe that the more drugs that you take in a lifetime, the healthier you are??? I would dare to say that 99% of you would answer that question with a big NO. Why then, when you go to the doctor with a sick child, with a hurt back, with depression, with any ailment...why do doctors only prescibe you medicine!!
Look at like this...when you child has a fever, ask the question: why does my child have a fever?? BECAUSE your child was given and blessed with something called an immune system, a defense system to fight various infections. SOOOO, if a fever is occurring to fight off an infection, why in world would you give your child a drug (tylenol, etc) to lower that fever...you are robbing your childs ability to fight that infection (by lowering the temp). NOw, I know what you are thinking, what about high-high temperatures...and yes..if the temp is 104-106--that can lead to brain issues..so that might be a time to take a drug...But 99,100, 101...come on..let your childs body do the work, let your childs body fight, and i promise you that your child will be stronger in the future, they will be able to fight off future illnesses better......Think about it!!!! Are you helping or hendering yourself, your child, or your family when you are constantly giving them medication!!!!
So, to answer the above question..drugs do not cure anything..they simply relieve (or cover up) symptoms. And if you really think about, symptoms are not your problem (your headaches, your fever, your digestive issues, etc)..the problem is what is causing your symptoms. "You do not heave headaches do to a lack of Advil inyour body...You do not have depression do to a lack of Prozac in your body"....get my point!!! Hopefully
PS: My children have never any drug (including vaccines) put into their body. Now if there is a life threatening emergency, im not ignorant, then a drug might be appropriate. However, drugging our society on a consistant basis to achieve health is an insane pracitce!!!!

Why is Health Care Failing Drastically????
The word Doctor comes from the Greek word "to teach." Some people ask why can't all doctors prescribe medicine. BECAUSE doctor does not mean Medicine, it means teacher...their are doctors of philosophy, doctors of religion, doctors of chemistry and so on.....
The bottom line...if you think you are NOT healthy, if you take medication, if you are over weight, if you eat fast food more than once a week, if you exercise 1 time per year and so on..... Your doctor better be TEACHING YOU How TO BECOME HEALTHY...or you are simply slowy dying. Bottom Line.
This Blog.... from this point forward will cover controversial/mainstream/historical Health Care Topics with the intention of helping you and your family live a long, healthy, and abundant life!!!
Many Blessing!!! DrD
