Frankincense Myrrh Neuopathy

Finally found a product that is easing my neuropathy!

Frankincense Myrrh Neuropathy rubbing oil gave me instant relief.
I am looking forward to applying more tonight before bed.

I mostly tried it because St. John's Wort (Hypericum perforatum) applied topically is supposed to calm nerves and am hoping it will eventually have a healing effect too.  For now the relief is immediate but mostly temporary.

ETA March 2018: 
I believe my nerves are healing slowly but surely!
It may be a combination of my treatments and Neuropathy rubbing Oil.

Another Hexagon recommendation

I have not tried this one myself and suspect my Chinese hexagon has a looser bounce.
However, the reviews are pretty good and the price very reasonable.

This newer version has a single roped cord already attached and arched legs for more stability.
It may be larger than the previous version which is still sold cheaper at stores like Walmart.


Also found this on youtube

Leslie Sansone and MUsic

I have been visiting Leslie Sansone Walks more since subscribing to the Walk-at-Home monthly series.  The website also enables streaming any of the monthly routines without installing the app.  I do own most of the dvds already but find this website and app much more appealing than setting up a dvd.  Plus the website has offered 4 of the new walk 15 routines although 2 have also been released on youtube so I may continue the subscription after the free trial.

I have also edited most of the dvds to have music only.
When streaming a walk, I can mute it and play my own music if I do not want the cuing.
I really enjoy the dancing that Michael does in the background of some walks so watch him and add my own tweaks.  Most moves are easy to follow without cuing and most can be modified to higher or lower intensity.


This article emphasizes the importance of walking:

Just 20 minutes a day of brisk walking and healthier food choices can prevent inflammation which causes Coronary Heart Disease and insulin resistance.

Article about Strength Training for Cancer Patients

A blog reader requested that I share this article:
https://mesothelioma.net/top-5-benefits-strength-training-exercise-cancer-patients/

Just as there are diet debates, there are exercise debates.
The best exercise you can do is what you will do
Find what feels good and keep moving (or in my case, bouncing)
