Shoulder pain is a very common complaint responsible for millions of doctor visits each year. Shoulder pain can result from literally hundreds of causes and affects every age group.Because it is common to have some shoulder pain with certain activities and sports like pitching, swimming, etc. it can be difficult to tell the difference between benign shoulder pain and shoulder pain that is trying to send you a message that something is really wrong. This can be difficult at all levels including professional athletes- highlighted with the recent episode involving professional pitcher Stephen Strasburg. For overhead sports like baseball, the margin of error can be very small and a benign appearing pain can quickly become a career ending injury. Nerves are ultimately responsible for signaling pain and the shoulder is surrounded by a rich network of nerves- many are on their way to other sites in the body- sometimes pain or injury in one area of the body is actually felt in another area. This is sometimes called referred pain. Some common sources of referred shoulder pain include but are not limited to pain or disease in the gallbladder, liver, lung, diaphragm, heart, and neck...more

There is absolutely nobody that wouldn't benefit from having pure filtered water in their home. It seems to me that not enough people are taking seriously the evidence as to the potentially deadly levels of toxins and carcinogens in our reservoirs. One of the reasons could be that a lot of the information posted about this contamination notes that the chemicals in our water are only present in "trace" amounts.Trace amount can add up pretty quickly when there are 80,000 individual chemicals present in your groundwater system. Things seem even worse once you find out that two chemicals that encounter each other in the water boost each others strength by as much as 1,000 times. Now consider that you are ingesting as many as 9 different "pumped up" chemical agents in every glass of water you drink, and you might get a clearer picture of the situation.Maybe these facts present the necessity of having pure filtered water in your home better than some of the information you have previously read. The contamination of our reservoir system has reached a critical point, where if you do not take action to ensure the health of you and your family, it could possibly come back to...more
