Rejuvenate Thyroid Function: Protocol of Vital Chi Skin Brushing System and Alternate Hot and Cold Shower
Bruce Berkowsky, N.M.D., M.H., NCTMB
The thyroid gland, a small structure normally weighing only one ounce, has a disproportionately immense influence on the human organism. Hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid) is so prevalent in this era that symptoms of nearly every chronic disease are, to varying degrees, linked to abnormal thyroid activity.
Located in front of the trachea, just below the larynx on either side, the thyroid gland produces several hormones, including thyroxin (T3) and triiodothryonine (T4) which help to regulate the metabolism of carbohydrates, mobilization of fats and synthesis of proteins. Calcitonin, another hormone secreted by the thyroid gland, helps to regulate calcium and phosphate levels and is required for uptake of calcium by the bones. Hypothyroid women are frequently found to have inadequate levels of the follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH): a thyroid-modulated hormone that initiates maturation of the egg cells in the ovaries. The developing egg cells, in turn, produce estrogen. Hypothyroidism often plays a role in infertility, menstrual disorders and in some cases may be the cause of menopausal hot flashes.
Hypothyroidism and hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) are closely related disorders. Notably, hypothyroidism may also play a significant role in diabetes (high blood sugar). Also, over time hypothyroidism may cause the adrenal glands to shrink.
Other symptoms of hypothyroidism include: anxiety; nervousness; depression (including post-partum depression); irritability; suspiciousness; anger; introversion; low energy levels; chronic fatigue; hypersensitivity; chilliness; cold hands and/or feet; fluid retention; slow wound healing; mental dullness and failing memory; insomnia; weakened immune system; puffy face and eyelids; devitalized hair, skin and nails; heart palpitations; digestive weakness; poor appetite; constipation; inability to tan; loss of bone mass; muscle soreness; neuralgia; joint pain.
Supporting the Thyroid Gland Using Vital Chi Skin-Brushing System
and Alternate Hot and Cold Shower
The Vital Chi Skin-Brushing System
Vital Chi Skin-Brushing can sustain or reestablish the skin’s functional integrity and youthful glow. The skin is as major an organ as the heart, lungs and kidneys. Its primary functions include: respiration, excretion, blood and lymph circulation, immunity and the conduction of chi. Thus, Vital Chi Skin-Brushing is a particularly powerful therapy which can positively impact the entire body.
Variations of skin-brushing have been practiced for thousands of years. My Vital Chi Skin-Brushing System, which required hundreds of hours of research and experimentation to develop, evolved from my training and teaching experience in anatomy and physiology and various bodywork disciplines as well as the Oriental healing arts. I designed this system to support blood- and lymph circulation, the immune system, the movement of chi along the acupuncture channels, all the major physiological functions of the skin as well as to enhance skin beauty
Why Various People Like Coffee Hot
Is it the same feeling you get when you aren't able to have your coffee in the morning before you leave for work or school or anywhere for that matter? If your answer is "YES," then it is certified: you my friend are a coffee addict!
But don't you worry young coffee junkie, for you are not alone. You are but a speckle in the vast ocean of coffee addicts all around the world. They too have been called to be forever in the hunt of the ultimate coffee experience.
Like you and me, these people have been inflicted by a taste so good, so unforgettable that living without can mean fate worse than death. To be addicted to coffee is to never get away from the taste, the smell, and the full-bodied flavor of caffeine.
A different kind of coffee
Traditionalist, purist, and coffee enthusiasts all around the world have become more and more demanding over the recent years. These people have begun seeking other forms of enjoyment that they can get from their usual cup of coffee.
That was the driving force behind the revolutionary leap that the brewing of coffee made. Since time immemorial, man has been serving coffee hot. Few people would actually drink coffee that has been blown over by the passing breeze. Hot coffee was the standard of coffee drinking everywhere.
Because of man's insatiability for many things (coffee included), he constantly experiments and researches for different things that might make his existence more meaningful and as some would have it, exciting. Not far from this influence is the way coffee is served.
Before as mentioned coffee was always hot, cold coffee was considered an insult to the coffee itself and people took pride in their brew. Nowadays, coffee can be seen sold to hundreds if not thousands by the day in tumblers that are filled with beads of condensation. Nowadays, coffee is best served cold.
Eventhough the new standard in coffee drinking has been changed one thing still remains the same, people still have a hard time starting their day without coffee. People still have a hard time relaxing after a hard days work. Some of the standards may change, people may change, but some things will always be constant no matter what. People may put ice, people may put spices but coffee will always be coffee and to change that will be more than impossible. So coffee addicts need not be afraid for they will have coffee forever.

If Cold Calling Works for You
I receive e-mails on a regular basis from people who state that cold calling is working perfectly well for them and that they’ve become quite successful by it. That's fine - as I've always said, if it works for you, then keep doing it. My materials are for people who either are not getting results from cold calling, or who simply do not enjoy it and do not want to do it anymore.
If you feel that cold calling is working just fine for you, this chapter is for you. The problem with being satisfied with the results of cold calling is that you fail to see cold calling’s biggest flaw and why it imposes strict limitations on your sales production.
Here’s something to think about. Even if cold calling is working for you, you're failing to use the amazing power of LEVERAGE to your advantage. What I'm getting at is the fact that as a cold caller, you can only make one call at a time or knock on one door at a time. Add into that the fact that you must also fit appointments and other work such as generating proposals into every business day, and your ability to make a large number of quality cold calls diminishes rapidly.
Here’s the pattern I typically see – and that I experienced myself – with people who rely on cold calling for generating business, and who feel that it’s working for them:
Month 1: Sales are down. Most free time is spent cold calling. Leads are generated and plenty of first appointments take place but the salesperson falls short of quota for the month.
Month 2: Numerous second appointments take place and proposals are presented. The salesperson spends lots of time working to close sales and is successful. Quota achievement is far in excess of 100% this month.
Month 3: The salesperson spends plenty of time on customer service issues this month, and following up with all the customers who bought last month. After all, it’s normal to be busy with these issues after a huge month. By the end of the month, everything is taken care of, but sales are in the gutter and far below quota this month because most time was spent taking care of all those issues, and to make matters worse, the pipeline is now empty and there are no more prospects to work on. The cycle starts all over again with month 1.
As you can see, this cycle of cold-hot-cold guarantees failure and is one of the key reasons why cold calling rarely, if ever, results in success. If anything, it allows salespeople to make quota every third month, barely avoid probation, and therefore keep their jobs.
By contrast, systems of self-marketing allow you to use the power of LEVERAGE. Let's say you do well at cold calling and continue to make, say, 30 calls a day. What if you could put systems into place that effectively made an additional 300 calls per day while you're free to do other things? If your 30 calls per day generated one hot lead, wouldn't a system that performs the equivalent of 300 calls generate 10 hot leads in a day?
This is the power of leverage, and this is where those who rely solely on cold calling are missing out. If cold calling works for you then keep it up, but doesn't it make sense to add to it and increase your number of leads exponentially? Then you'll be so busy with all the appointments that you really will drop cold calling after all – you won’t have time for it anymore with so many people calling you, ready to buy!

The Benefit of Having a Handy Ice Pack and Hot Pack
For a hot pack I would run a cloth under hot water burning my hands doing so or burning them when I rung out the towel. Not to mention it would only stay warm for about 3 minutes so I would repeat the whole process. What a pain- literally.
Now with newer advanced gel packs things are so much simpler. You can just leave the ice pack in the freezer and take it out whenever you need it. Thaw it and put it in the microwave for minute you’ve got a hot pack. I leave one Dual Comfort hot/cold pack in the freezer and leave one in the cabinet. This way I always have a cold pack ready to go and the hot pack is ready in just 1 minute.
Best of all, it holds the cold and the heat in for long periods of time. So I don’t have to freeze or scald my hands every few minutes or worry about making a mess and soaking our couch with water.
Another great benefit is that the gel is flexible and soft. You can sit against it, lie on it, drape it over your shoulder, you name it.
We’ve come a long way from that hard block that you don’t have to hold against the back of your neck or burning yourself with a hot cloth to get some pain relief and relaxed muscles. Click here for more information on heat and ice therapy.
