Where did November go?
 
I finally feel like I can breath a little bit.  The last 5 months have been crazy for me.  The appendectomy, followed by recuperation time, then politics & lots of letter writing, then 2 teaching gigs, then getting my lectures sorted for Brazil, oh and the preparation for Brazil (Visa's, hotels, tours, etc.), has had me in a whirlwind since the beginning of July!  So, despite the 'Christmas Rush' being upon us, I am actually feeling like I can get a wee bit caught up, and throw in some enjoyment time as well!

So speaking of enjoyment, last Sunday and Yesterday, I have engaged in the process of making Kombucha.  Now before I get hate mail for being a Granola Hippy Tree Hugging Nerd, I actually DO like Kombucha!  So, this is sort of exciting for me.  Last week I set up the process to make the SCOBY  (symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast), and she grew this past week, allowing me to make the Kombucha batch yesterday.  Oh nerd, oh nerd!  I'm pretty excited.  If all goes well, then next Sunday I can bottle it and do the second fermentation.  Then voila!  I'm in production baby!!!

Alrighty, enough about me!  Now onto YOUR learning for this week!

P.S. Are you looking to include SHOCKWAVE in your practice?
I have just the thing!  I highly recommend the unit that I have and use at my clinic.  And now, I can bring it to you!  

Check out this page:  http://fourleg.com/Shockwave   for more information.

And if you're interested, give me a shout and I'll happily send along all of the details.  
RADIAL SHOCKWAVE rules!  I am loving it as an adjunct to my other therapies, and am seeing amazing results with it when used on osteoarthritis, tendinosis lesions, and lumbosacral disc disease.  (There are more things it can treat, but these three things keep it hopping at my clinic!)

The price is right (in Canadian Dollars), and I can ship anywhere in North America.  (For those of you overseas, I can put you in touch with local distributors nearer to you!)

Okay... so check it out if you've ever been interested!

 P.S.  Helpful Hints for NEW Members...

1. If you are new to FourLeg and happen to be having issues with watching the videos, you will want to cut and paste the following URL into your browser bar:
Sometimes after people sign up on the secure page on FourLeg, their computer remembers the secure address for the website (i.e. https:// etc), and it takes them to the site with THAT prefix.  The rest of the site isn't 'secured, only the sign up page.  So, the website thinks you are trying to watch a video from unauthorized site.  


2.  As a member, if you want to search a particular topic, then find the little white search bar on the upper right hand corner of the page (after you log in as a member).  Type in your search and be given a full listing of content related to your search words!


3.  And, if you have any issues, check out WWW.FOURLEG.COM/Help  to address any FAQs regarding the website or membership difficulties!
