Dynamic healers coming to town: Michael Buck & Blakely Parent




"Customarily recognized as a folk modality, the Art of Vedic Thai-Yoga Bodywork, also called Nuad Borarn, is producing results that parallel in sophistication the results being produced by ANY other medical modality including psychiatry and surgery" Michael Buck Founder/Director Vedic Conservatory.

Buck, a world renowned bodywork therapist with over ten thousand students in seven countrues is also a 2007 inductee into The World Massage Therapy Hall of Fame, says that some of his clients are referred to him by [medical professionals that feel as if these patients aren’t even aware of their bodily existence.

“Looking back at the history of massage you’ll see bodywork has always been a part of medicine,” explains Buck. “It wasn’t until the underworld got a hold of it and turned it into something sexual that it began to separate. It truly is a sacred medical art and medicine and massage are now coming back together as people realize – or remember --the healing potency of emotional release.”

“With over 2,700 negative and unresourceful human emotions that can get in the way of our awareness of who we are, Vedic Thai-Yoga bodywork uses technique and theory to clear issues that may be constricting',” explains Buck. “We are seeing issues disappear within moments.”

“When we’re congested it’s as if we’re locked. When the body is cleared it’s essentially a ‘returning home’ process that offers an expanded awareness of who we are, as if unlocking the body’s own vortex,” he says.

Buck travels the world teaching classes, offering private sessions, and certifying teachers of this powerful healing technique. Blakely Parent, a certified instructor of The Vedic Conservatory will be returning late August to Albany’s Kai Yoga Arts, this time with special guest Michael Buck. This dynamic duo will be offering a three day intensive workshop together that will be most unique to this region.

This class is recognized with national credentials for continuing education offering 24 units for massage therapists. The class is highly recommended also for yoga instructors as well as those simply desiring to share this ancient art with family and friends.

“Anyone regardless of profession or path is encouraged to attend this class so they may offer this healing art to their loved ones, children and partners,” says Parent. “My experience with this modality has renewed my practice as both a licensed massage therapist and certified yoga instructor. It has also sharpened my awareness for the natural healing power of the body. I have found it to be a way for the body to heal itself.”

“The body is so much more than physical parts. The client and the therapist can actually feel the energy moving during a session. It’s especially nice for those needing some body awareness,” Parent continues.

Beverly Burt, owner of Kai Yoga Arts says, “It’s such an honor to have these two healers here at my studio. I highly encourage everyone -- at the very least -- get a session while these two are in town. It’s like having someone do yoga to you. It’s the best ever – very relaxing and energizing!”

This three days course in Albany will be August 28 – 30 from 9am – 6pm each day. Participants are encouraged to reserve their spot as soon as possible. Kai Yoga is offering a discount as an early bird perk for those that sign up prior July 15th. For more information on this class please visit www.kaiyoga.net or call 888-2345

Vitamin D ~ Does the body good

Got Milk?
Cow milk contains blood & pus!
HOLY COW!!!!


href="file:///C:%5CDOCUME%7E1%5COWNER%7E1.GRE%5CLOCALS%7E1%5CTemp%5Cmsohtml1%5C01%5Cclip_filelist.xml">

“My personal experience,” Abell continues, “in testing thousands of samples for Vitamin D and treating hundreds of patients agrees with this and now I am seeing levels increase to ranges between 60 and 80 consistently, but only with these higher doses, and most patients starting levels are between10 and 30 to start with.”



“Other areas that Vitamin D has shown importance in include the immune system -- hugely important -- asthma, hypertension, bone health, fall prevention with the elderly, Multiple Sclerosis...the list goes on,” says Abell.




Common warning signs that Vitamin D may be lacking in your body may be: bone pain and/or soft bones, frequent bone fractures, bone deformities or growth retardation in children. Be aware if you have limited exposure to sunlight for any reason, whether it is geography, heavy use of sunscreens, or wearing protective clothing while outdoors.




Obesity is also associated with vitamin D deficiency. Since vitamin D is fat-soluble, it can be potentially less available to the body’s metabolism because it can be taken into fat cells and stored.




One study supports that production of vitamin D may also be reduced in obese individuals. When normal and obese subjects were exposed to the same amount of natural sunlight, obese subjects only produced 55% the amount of vitamin D as normal weight subjects.




Luckily Vitamin D can be obtained by proper food sources, proper sunlight and supplements.

Dr. Abell carries two different drops in his office. “One is a water soluble at 600 IU per drop that mixes in water. The other is 5000 IU per drop - 5 drops per day and the bottle should last 6 months. Two drops per day for a 50 pound child and the bottle should last a year!”



The highest ranking concentrated food sources of vitamin D include salmon, sardines, shrimp, cod, and eggs. Baked or broiled Sockeye salmon ranking in as packing the best punch with a whopping 739.37 IU of vitamin D per 4 ounces. Chinook salmon is another excellent source providing 411 IU per 4 ounces.



Sure the campaign says milk does the body good but it’s also one of the top five major food allergens. It’s not recommended for those with asthma or anyone that doesn’t want the extra mucous it will create in your body. Cow milk is best for cow babies just as nature intended it.

Summer is here and the temperature is rising. Baked Salmon in a sundress might be an excellent plan but don’t forget your supplemental drops to insure your body is getting exactly what it needs!
