 The next day her legs begin to feel prickly and warm. She is astonished to find she can wiggle her toes. As she examines her legs, she notices that her right knee is no longer deformed. She throws off her braces and stands. In astonishment, she runs through the house, shouting in excitement, and even bounds up a flight of stairs. Her various doctors conduct examinations and tests, which reveal that her brain no longer shows the telltale lesions indicative of MS. Her legs have normal reflexes even though tendons have been severed. |

 In one study, the walking capacity of patients with intermittent claudication—a painful cramping sensation in the muscles of the legs due to decreased oxygen supply—improved significantly when they were given oral L-carnitine. In another study, patients with peripheral arterial disease of the legs were able to increase their walking distance by ninety-eight meters when supplemented with carnitine, almost twice what those given a placebo were able to do. Congestive heart failure patients have experienced an increase in exercise endurance on only 900 mg of carnitine per day. |

 He pinned his arms in front of him and tied his legs together. He knew at that moment that he was visited by an alien force. Let's put all that in its proper context; during birth there was a lack of oxygen and sense of strangling with the accompanying pressure on the chest. The arms were pinned in the fetal position and the legs were locked as they are in a birth Primal. The sense was alien, so it was then projected as an alien force—aliens. No therapist can interpret that experience. We would not even know where to begin.
I must hasten to add a caveat here. |

| Consider the following examples of medical anomalies: þ A woman suffering from the debilitating effects of decades of multiple sclerosis (MS) is confined to a wheelchair, her legs structurally deformed so that she can stand upright or walk a few steps
12 only while in full leg braces. Her pain worsens until her doctors are forced to sever the tendons to her kneecaps. Over time, some of the tissues and nerves of her legs become irretrievably impaired, her right kneecap slips off center, and her ankles and feet become paralyzed. |

 They have hard shells and ten legs, two of which have developed into pincers. Although considered a gourmet food today, lobsters were so plentiful in the nineteenth century that they were used as bait for fish or even as fertilizer in the fields. Lobsters have firm, rich meat in their bodies, tails, and legs. You can also eat the lobster's liver (known as "green tomalley") or its roe (known as "coral").
Ounce for ounce, lobsters are somewhat similar to shrimp in nutritional value, with a few differences. |

 But classical physics or biology could not account for such fundamental issues as how we can think in the first place; why cells organize as they do; how many molecular processes proceed virtually instantaneously; why arms develop as arms and legs as legs, even though they have the same genes and proteins; why we get cancer; how this machine of ours can miraculously heal itself; and even what knowing is ?how it is that we know what we know. Scientists might understand in minute detail the screws, bolts, joints and various wheels, but nothing about the force that powers the engine. |

 Humans started walking on two legs so we could cover distances between water and food faster than we could on four legs? Yeah, right—ever race a cheetah? Even some of the slower quadrupeds can outrun us. We lost our hair because the males got too hot chasing antelope? So why do females have even less hair than males? And what about all those other hairless animals running around the savanna? Oh, right, there aren't any. Every hairless mammal is aquatic or at least plays in the mud—think of hippos, elephants, and the African warthog. But there aren't any hairless primates. |

 A column of blood this tall would place tremendous pressure on the veins of the lower legs and feet if not for special valves that shut closed to prevent flow of the blood in the direction of the feet. The muscles in the legs contract when we walk, pushing blood upward and past the open valves toward the heart. These valves carry blood only one way, and
Suffering with a hiatus (hiatal) hernia is so common that people think it comes with age. Many years of straining on the toilet eventually push the stomach up into the chest. |

 Other pain is described as chronic bearing-down pain and pressure on the lower back and pelvis, sometimes radiating down the legs. Other less common complaints include pain with urination and bowel movements and bleeding from the nose, bladder, and/or bowels. Endometriomas, enlarged areas of ectopic endometrial involvement on the ovaries, are found in two out of three patients with endometriosis.1
Early research as to the source of infertility initially led to the concept that endometriosis was a "working woman's disease. |

 Sitting in an armless chair with your legs planted on the floor, experiment with lifting the jugs from the floor along the sides of the chair or in front of you, first to eye level, then to above your head. Add enough water so that you can do it only three or four times. þLeg lifts: Lie on the floor with a rolled towel placed under the small of your back. Lift one leg and then the other about 12 inches off the floor and hold it as long as you can. If that's too intense, do one leg at a time. Repeat until it's impossible to hold them up. It won't take many. |
| We physicians currently like the public to think that if your coronary arteries have crud in them, there's a strong likelihood that arteries in your brain, legs, and every other part of your body do as well. Logical, yes; accurate, no. Along with most of my colleagues, I was taught this simplistic approach, but if it is so right, why have you never heard of someone having a "nose attack"? That's right, if this crud is building up all over the place, in every artery, why doesn't a patient's nose drop off?
Ridiculous? |
| How about your leg arteries: sure, you can't walk or run because of the pain in your legs. All are perfect ways to cut you off from your food supply and make you a target for predators.
THE REAL CAUSE OF ALL OUR MODERN DISEASES?
Did you know that hypertension simply doesn't exist in societies that don't eat the Western diet or lots of refined grains? But in our culture, after we eat such foods for about twenty years, hypertension rears its ugly head. What happens if hypertension goes untreated? |
| Whenever I return from a run with my three dogs, the first thing they do is lick my legs. No, not because they like me or I smell particularly '"ripe," but because they're after the salt in my sweat. They have to replenish their "tank" every chance they get as well. Deer and cattle stampede for salt licks out on the range. From your genes' standpoint, salt is good, and the odds are that you will eat more of everything to which salt has been added. But, of course, too much salt is not good for you. Our genes could never have foreseen the amount of salt in the modern diet. |
| She could barely breathe, her legs were swollen, and her mental function, to be charitable, would be described as Alzheimer's-like. Mark had gotten into an argument with her cardiologist, who had guaranteed them that this was the best that could be expected and that the end was near. Mark assured me that they were ready to try anything.
Despite being an avid and excellent tennis player, Mark carried the telltale "beer" gut signifying that killer genes were activated in him as well. |

 As I sit here writing, I am recovering from a "run-in" with one of these additives—sulfur dioxide—and I now have hives on my face, arms, and legs. Although my reaction these days is very mild compared to when I first discovered the allergy, it is still unpleasant. I remember as a young girl getting a strange rash on my face, arms, and legs and being diagnosed with sun sensitivity; I was told to stay out of the sun and given large doses of vitamin A. No one ever asked me what I had eaten and there was definitely no talk of additives. |

 Sheer Bronze Tinted Self Tanning, for legs ($29.50for 4.4 ounces) contains pigments to turn skin a sheer golden bronze color (with shimmer) instantly, while the self-tanning ingredient DHA develops a "tan" over a couple of hours. Although this is a good option from the neck down, it's basically a superfluous addition to the Clarins self-tanning lineup.
© Tinted Self Tanning Face Cream Very High Protection SPF 15 ($28 for 1.7 ounces) lacks the UVA-protecting ingredients of titanium dioxide, zinc oxide, avobenzone, Tinosorb, or Mexoryl SX, and is not recommended. |
| SPECIALTY PRODUCTS: © Bare-It All legs ($9.99) sells itself (though not blatantly) as liquid hosiery in a can. This aerosol spray is designed to conceal minot skin flaws such as tiny veins. Essentially, it's a spray-on foundation that allows you enough time before drying to blend it thoroughly. After a couple of minutes it sets to a silky matte finish, although it's not transfer-resistant, as claimed. Fabric brushing against it will transfer the color and compromise wear, as will friction from skin (think of thighs brushing together as you walk), and it comes off on furnirure. |
| Because of the relentless advertising pushing this erroneous concept, women stay tied to the belief that the eye area, throat, chest, legs, and hands all have different skin-care needs. Even more bothersome is the fact that most cosmetics companies give you only a tiny amount of the so-called specialty product, and then chatge you a lot more for that tiny tube of product than they do for a large tube of face cream, despite the similar formulations. Moreover, many eye products don't contain sunscreen. |

| You're probably aware of the worldwide epidemic of Type 2 diabetes, which kills by thickening and clogging arteries, leading to heart disease and deadening the nerves to the legs, which can ultimately require amputation. All are great ways to polish off those who take more than their fair share.
Diabetes is just the beginning. How about arthritis? Easy. If it hurts to walk, you won't go get food, or you can't run to avoid being someone else's food. Cancer? In a macabre way, having your own cells eat you alive is a fast way to exit life. |

| Dandelion leaf extract works great for the water retention of PMS, and Stengler routinely uses it for edema of the lower legs and ankles that he sees in elderly patients (edema is swelling or bloating caused by fluids in the extremities). Dandelion also contains two hormone-balancing constituents, taraxerol and tarax-asterol. "It's one of the premier herbs recommended for hormone-related conditions like PMS," says Stengler. Because it's a natural diuretic, dandelion leaf is a wonderful aid in reducing high blood pressure. |

 The United States has long had two legs to its structure of consumer protections: regulation on the one hand, and a receptive legal system on the other, giving citizens the right to pursue redress in the courts as a means of obtaining both compensation and punishment for damages to their or their community's health and environment. The EU has few similar legal mechanisms; citizen standing on liability cases is limited, and damage awards are generally small. In Europe, government is generally presumed to be the first and last line of defense. |

 In the International Nifedipine GITS Study: Intervention as a Goal in Hypertension Treatment (INSIGHT), there were eight times as many patients who developed a swelling of the legs or arms while on a calcium channel blocker as those on a diuretic.2 A study of the entire Swedish population showed that if you took calcium channel blockers you were more likely to kill yourself by as much as fivefold. They didn't find that to be the case with any of the other antihypertensive drugs after adjusting for use of other cardiac drugs, including beta-blockers.3 In general, however, suicide is fairly rare. |
