hey guys it’s me again we’re going to do

another before and after now we have

someone with wrist pain your right wrist

bothers you so tell me just a little bit

about what’s going on with your wrist so

I’ve had tendonitis for several years

and it’s you know I need to do yoga to

keep my back in check and that helps but

it’s hard with the wrist so it’s it

doesn’t go back all the way and I can’t

put pressure on it so I can’t do the

planks and the push ups in that kind of

position and the downward dog all of

that it just makes it really difficult I

can just do it for a much shorter amount

of time and hold it and then the pain

comes in also chopping vegetables and

using my hands just it just gets really

tight and sore and you know I can’t

vacuum because that’s sort of in and out

just like it’s like too much but it’s

just this right wrist here and I’ve done

a lot I’ve done the physical therapy

even went as far maybe I think 10 years

ago to do radiation and I do I do these

stretches that that help but it just

doesn’t go away so anytime yeah anytime

I’m like doing you know the type of

thing that I want to be doing which is

like exercising on the floor push-ups

that type of thing yoga it just it

flares okay so what we know for sure is

that there has to be something else

going on with this there has to be

something else going on so we’re going

to go a little deeper and so I have a

question do you have digestive problems

yes I do have a history of that I’m on

it with with diet but I know that

there’s still some lingering issues I’m

really in control with die and

probiotics but there is still some

lingering issue so definitely yes okay

so the first thing I’m gonna do is I’m

gonna do a little before because it

doesn’t really hurt when she doesn’t

move it it’s like when she moves it or

activates it so go ahead and try to like

do like a little push up or resistance

and tell me if you feel something yeah

so I mean if I put my weight on it I’ll

definitely just like a push up position

so you can see it won’t go as far as

this hand in terms of the angle and and

it just begins to feel like it’s going

to give way yeah it’s kind of like a

weakness yes okay so unstable weakness

and and yeah unstable weak and very

tender and painful yeah okay so what we

want to do is we want to rate that 10

being fully strong zero being completely

weak give me a number um I would say six

okay so what we want to do is we want to

isolate it now the first thing I’m going

to check before I do anything is the

gallbladder why because the gallbladder

is a source of a lot of problems it’s it

creates the nerve that goes up to the

the nerves of the neck which happen to

connect to the hand

I’ve had people come in with splints on

the hand the thumb the fingers and

they’re like ah what’s wrong they get

therapy nothing happens so let’s just

see if the gallbladder is involved I’m

going to do a little tiny little test so

I’m going to have you lay on your back

with your head over here

so if you’ve watched some of my other

videos you probably see that there’s a

lot of hidden pain syndromes from

gallbladder so I’m just going to kind of

gently kind of stimulate the flow of the

gallbladder so it can drain a little bit

and tell me if that’s is it sore a

little bit yeah

right there yeah again are not pressing

on the gallbladder the soft tissue

around the gallbladder which is

connected to the gallbladder and I’m

just and you can even do this to

yourself

you work on this little area right here

you find out where the tenderness is

yeah right there good morning and I’m

just going to hold this for about an

hour now looks good

I’m doing this for about two minutes

here and pressing up into this area

right here so the next thing we do is

just compare so now let’s have our set

up let’s have you sit right here

and then go ahead and do the same thing

you did before and let’s just compare it

was a six tell me what’s going on now

hmm hmm feels a little bit more um

flexible how about the stability factor

or the strength it was a six what is it

now um yeah it definitely does feel

stronger the pain is still there but

it’s definitely um like I feel a little

bit of pain in the wrist but it’s

definitely it feels um a little bit more

stable and a little bit more like it’s

bending that bending 90 degrees but yeah

cuz it doesn’t usually go as far as this

one so it does Wow yeah cool now let’s

let’s have you lay back again I want to

just check something okay so now what

I’m going to do is I’m going to come in

here a little bit more into the liver

area right through in here now she did

tell me she did kind of go off for

eating for a little bit and there’s a

some insulin resistance up so there’s a

little bit of a blood sugar thing so

we’ll what I’m going to advise and I’m

going to show you you know one of the

challenges when you do the eating plan

is you add more fat which is hard hard

to digest if there’s a gallbladder issue

so I’m going to recommend as a simple

no-brainer is some outside of vinegar

plus are you taking that that is an

acidifier for your stomach that will

release your own bile so when she takes

it before a meal like four before meal

the stomach will release by out it’ll

digest so much better it’ll take the

pressure off this gallbladder and it’ll

make it easier to stick to the program

and improves insulin resistant

and it will help the gallbladder and I

think that pain thing will go away

especially if it’s related to the

digestion so so we talked before this

and we are like okay how do we

completely fix this

well once we find what’s causing it by

what we’re doing now we’re testing

something see what gets a fast change

and then we’re going to focus on the

gallbladder improving the digestion

that’s we want to do like keep your diet

and keep these other thing yeah and then

really help the digestion and that’s

going to fully resolve this issue with

the hand because like it affects your

writing you’re a teacher and you know

this whole thing so now I’m going to

come a little lower yeah

so now we’re right on the heart of it

right - and there says like gall stones

no I think she has the gall stones I

think it’s just a sluggish gall bladder

and there’s a little duck there that you

drain stuff out that’s a little

congested and that comes from eating

poorly sometimes in your past you have a

history of eating poorly change my day

about nine seven years ago but before

that before that it was very high carb

very high crackers and right right

high carb crackers pasta join the club I

was there for 28 years so I know what

you’re talking about

so now let’s reduce recapping okay go

ahead and do that same same thing again

yeah it feels very similar to this one

to the left one and it still feels a

little bit of pain but it definitely

does feel more stable and less weak and

less and more more able to bend 90

degrees which I have never been able to

bend 90 degrees so but it does I still

feel a little bit of pain okay it’s not

as like it’s not as easy to do it as

this one but it’s definitely

I’m just feeling more stable on it which

is weird I usually feel like I it’s

going to give way awesome just sit right

here so the other thing you do for wrist

pain is you work on the opposite side so

we’ll take this side and we’ll just go

into the muscle to here and when you

press on the if it hurts on the wrist

like it hurts right here then you you

work on the muscles connected to the

wrist but on the opposite side right

through and here and this will be a

little bit sore as you work this out but

that’s how you kind of get rid of that

pain component because it’s been

compensating you probably support this

side and you put more pressure on this

side as you work out right right right

right absolutely like right here this

thing and I have these weird bumps that

they look like like all over my hands

actually of my arms until my elbow area

so let’s look at those bumps in a second

I’m going to just I want to just okay so

now go ahead and just reaches the same

thing let me touch no time is happening

with the pain

hmm the pain is still there it’s a

little bit less um but again feeling

stable feeling yeah I mean because I’ve

never been able to to bend at ninety

degrees so it feels like it’s a it’s

doing it and it feels stable but there’s

a little bit of pain not not much but

there’s definitely pain here and here

here maybe because it’s stretching

farther than it’s been stretched a very

long time so that’s the pain here but

the pain that’s there is yeah is um it’s

it’s less but it’s it’s still there but

it’s definitely less and it feels more

stable awesome so so this is because

it’s coming from the digestion we just

have to work more on the digestion

because this is the symptom and this is

the cause so just a matter of getting

this once this is better the pain will

probably completely go away probably

have to work a little bit on here but

your problem is not in your wrist and

that’s why the physical therapy did no

work because they put radiation in your

wrist okay now so that’s cool are you

happy with that yeah okay good so now

show me those bumps okay so you can you

don’t if you can see it it’s a little

blue but you can feel it yeah yeah

elbows and nobody has been able to tell

me what they’re they wanted to have a

biopsied and I was a little bit scared

to do that but my side of that and I

have them all up and you can see my

rushed upon from my liver but I have

them here so here’s the thing these are

like little tiny little they’re kind of

like little tiny little bumps type

things were growing on the skin anything

with skin is related to vitamin A

deficiency and guess what it takes to

digest vitamin A bile bile yes so by oh

yeah and every year I’ve been doing it

for the past three years and I was just

this last year when I did it a month ago

they said that I was borderline a

deficient which was the first time

because all the fat soluble vitamins

before were good the DKA but this time I

was a vitamin actually D was borderline

and a was

ding-ding-ding-ding so yeah so skin is

all about the fat soluble vitamins and

you always look to her gallbladder

that’s digesting those so she doesn’t

have enough bile

so with you probably some upset of

vinegar Plus before the meal and maybe

one gallbladder after to get the fat

side with vitamins in there and the skin

will be really nice so vitamin A

deficiency is create acne bumps little

goose pimple bumps anything with skin is

the vitamin A but most people get enough

on the diet they just can’t absorb it

and guess what all the remedies for in

the anti-inflammatory remedies are the

omega-3 fatty acids they’re all fat

related so even vitamin D deficiency

will cause pain so again it’s a matter

of that digestive system getting that

thing back that’s why a lot of our thrit

ik type stuff and pain in general is

liver and it’s connected to the

gallbladder so so this is this is what

we’ll do we’re going to strengthen the

gallbladder you probably do it a little

bit acupressure each day this will

totally be cleared probably take maybe

two weeks at the very most and I think

you’re good and then you just have to

keep your eating in just keep really

really standard and then if you tend to

one cheat have some healthy junk food

without this sugar but we want I think

you’re going to have to add a little

more fat with the meals with the gall

bladder will help to allow you to go

longer without eating and and because

you cannot fix insulin resistance

without fat so like we have but the

problem is like it might be hard to

digest so don’t go crazy just a little

bit and then gradually increase that

you’ll go longer without eating

you drop insulin you’ll heal the insulin

resistance digestion will do better so

it’s a sonico plan yeah absolutely yeah

that makes sense okay awesome well thank

you very much thank you okay
