I’m the clinic director of the Egoscue Clinic in Austin, TX. I started with Egoscue years back as a client. Since we opened our clinic in 2003, I’ve worked with several clients with varying levels of RSD. If someone asks me if Egoscue can ‘cure’ or resolve their RSD, my answer is that I don’t believe RSD is postural in origin, and I don’t think we are the answer to RSD’s full resolution.

Now that said, what I DO see is that to the degree posture is compromised, that will literally take the RSD experience and amplify it, make it worse. Now the individual is dealing not only with the RSD, but the increased friction and inflammation that one experiences using mispositioned joints. Anything we can do to help these folks find ways to move that they can symptomatically tolerate is a very good thing for the reasons the article above states.

If I can answer anyone’s questions about Egoscue, I’d be happy to do so. Feel free to email me at the Austin clinic. If you are on a journey that includes dealing with RSD/CRPS, I wish you all the best.

DGL stands for De-Glycyrrhizinated Licorice, which is licorice root with glycyrrhizin removed. Glycyrrhizin is the main sweet tasting compound found in licorice that naturally occurs. Higher does of glycyrrhizin or glycyrrhetinic acid can increase the half life of cortisol which is typically known as the “stress hormone” within the body. This can lead to fluid retention issues. As such glycyrrhizin has been removed from this product hence the name de-glycyrrhizinated licorice (DGL).

Licorice has been used as a digestive aid for centuries and has recently been implicated in the healing of gastric and duodenal ulcers. Licorice has been implicated in digestive health issues including dyspepsia (indigestion), one hypothesised mechanism is though licorice’s anti inflammatory affect on digestive tissues that may inhibit certain cytokines from signaling, however further research is required to further reveal it’s mechanisms of action.

Each high strength DGL chewable lozenge has 400mg of a 12 X strength extract of licorice root. This product is naturally sweetened 2 grams of fructose, xylitol (a dental health promoting sugar), L-glycine (a sweet tasting amino acid) and stevia (a zero calorie super sweet herb).

Debra,

Every quarter we have new specials so it is best to view the current specials. The chi machine appears noisier because I recorded the video in my basement. It uses 28 Watts, view more information and specifications on our products page. Dr. Inoue was only involved in the development of the Original Sun Ancon Chi Machine. I do not reside in Orlando, but am from Clearwater, Florida currently living in Indiana.

Have a Blessed 2011 as well.

I believe this Sun Ancon Chi Machine is the one to get. What is the price for it?
However I am wondering what the watts are on it? When I watched your video I noticed it was noisy. My ears are very sensitive than most people. Bummer but it could be worse 🙂 so I always feel blessed with what I have:-)
I see you are a dist. for Sun Ancon, so I thought you maybe able to find out about the ? below?

But I am also wondering if you know if Dr.Shizuo Inoue had anything to do with the ENERGAIN 308 DL Chi Machine?

Have A Blessed 2011 & May The LORD Guide You Where He Needs You In Helping Others

Look Forward to Hearing From You

Hugs Debra
