As I haven't blogged much lately, I thought I'd share some interesting correspondance and my reply: [Bracketed comments are mine.]
Hi Ed-
I just wanted to check in with you regarding my rebounding. I really like
the workout, but overdid it initially and had some pretty strong cleansing
reactions. I backed off and am adding a minute or so per day-am doing
about 15 minutes twice per day. My lymph nodes have gone down and my
lower back feels much better. I also noticed that another fingernail is
normalizing from red to light coloration, something that I thought was
parasites-one of the books mentioned "trapped blood proteins" which may be
another explanation. I was actually gearing up to plunge into yoga and
meditation, but this is much more fun and less work/control.
The video [the Immune System DVD that is included free with the rebounder] was excellent. I have a background in biology so it was not
difficult to understand it. The footage of cellular functions was great;
it is always good to visualize cellular dynamics to understand an obscure
concept. When the DVD started and mentioned "cell food" I thought it was
going to be an infomercial regarding glyconutrients, but was pleased that
there was nothing for sale. I am curious though, what nutrient
supplementation that you use, if you don't mind sharing.
Regards,

Brian,Thank you so much for the feedback. Are you starting and ending every rebound session with 3 to 5 minutes of the gentle health bounce? When I redo my website I want to add letters like yours to show people how amazing rebound exercise really is.Glad you liked the video. You don't need a science background to understand it. That's the true beauty of it. Carter's healthy cell concept is so simple and makes so much sense. When it comes to nutrition, he didn't know as much as we know now when he made the original tape, circa 1988. Glad you asked about supplements, Carter was pushing Km at the time,but that was edited out of the DVD. I take no supplements. One of the things I learned from 20+ years of observations of what other people were doing wrong, is that more often than not, the pills, powders and potions people take in their quest for health, generally interfere with it. I think a lot of people need to have something exotic and expensive to believe in. When these things work well, it is probably due to the placebo effect more than anything else.I believe there is no better way to get your nutrition than from living plant sources -- locally grown and organic as much as possible. Also, I think distilled water is the best choice. As to specifics, I find if you eat a variety of colors over the course of the year, you get everything you need. Look for foods that appeal to you. Just as with rebounding, listen to your body. Living Nutrition Magazine is probably the best source of information along this line. Most of the other "raw" groups have evolved to selling exotic, overpriced placebos. Another good website: rawfoodinfo.comContinued success to you. I don't know how old you are, or what kind of shape you're in, but I can tell you I was a fat, unathletic person when I started rebounding in my mid-thirties. I look and feel so much better now, in my sixties, and as far as I can tell, it's still getting better with time! We've not only been misled all our lives about health and disease, but also about aging.Ed
