Workshop for People Seeking Relief for Common Aches and Pains by Lynne Donahue
According to a report from the Institute of Medicine, more than 100 million Americans suffer from chronic pain at a cost of around $600 billion a year in medical treatments and lost productivity.
Holistic practitioners Lisa Medley of Soulistic Arts and Lynne Donahue of Fresh Plate Health are offering an inspiring, instructive, and informative workshop as an introduction to the MELT Hand & Foot Treatment. This workshop will teach chronic pain sufferers how to actively partake in a simple 10 minute per day treatment that has decreased symptoms of pain and stress in many people.
The MELT Hand & Foot Treatment is simple self treatment, using specialized techniques and small balls, that teaches how the connective tissue in hands and feet becomes dehydrated, the common aches and pains it causes, and how to rehydrate this essential system for vibrant health and pain-free movement.
This workshop will also offer powerful information about cellular hydration that is key to slowing the aging process, restoring youthful vivality, and supporting total health.
The MELT Method is an innovative self-treatment program that has been featured on the Dr. Oz Show and the NY Times Bestseller list.

PRESCRIPTION DRUG ADDICTION IS CLIMBING WITH NO END IN SIGHT! by Dr. Vera A. Brown , DMD
The problem begins here: in a 2009 study by the National Survey on Drug
Use and Health found that nearly two million Americans were dependent on
or abusing prescription pain relievers — nearly twice as great as the
number of people addicted to cocaine.
Secondly, “over the past 20 years, the number of prescriptions for opiate analgesics in the US has gone from 40 million to 180 million” said Nora Volkow, director of the National Institute on Drug Abuse.
And, thirdly, the unintentional poisoning deaths involving psychotherapeutic drugs, such as sedative-hypnotics and anti-depressants, grew 84 percent from 1999 to 2004. Between 1995 and 2005, treatment admissions for dependence on prescription painkillers grew more than 300 percent.
Are you in a ‘fog’ from taking prescription painkillers? Do you know a loved one who has been died in their sleep from taking too many pain pills?
“Pain has an emotional component that must be addressed for complete healing.” Dr. Vera A. Brown, DMD.
I believe a more complete evaluation of the client is critical and requires time that most healthcare providers do not have.
A thorough medical history is important as well as a physical examination, and the critical part that is currently being ignored, is the emotional status of the client. This is where I bring my years of medical expertise and alternative healing techniques to provide complete healing of pain.
Pain may be emotional and manifest itself in the physical body. This is quite common, in fact, much more common than anyone cares to admit.
You must first see a healthcare provider who understands all aspects of pain, he/ she must be willing to spend the time to do a thorough medical history, examination and emotional exam.
In order to relieve physical pain we must take the time to evaluate all the components that make up pain, the physical body and emotional body. In addressing each part we can develop a complete treatment plan and get relief much faster with long lasting results.
You may need a decrease in the amount of pain medication you take, do physical therapy or bodywork, and receive emotional support to feel like the wonderful you again.
Regaining your life from chronic pain is a process and the great news is that there is hope and you can become pain free!
Dr. Vera A. Brown, DMD is a dentist and alternative practitioner. She has over 13 years experience in treating chronic pain and suffered from chronic pain for over 9 years. Dr. Brown is head of the Los Angeles Chiropractic College department for diagnosing and treating headaches, TMJ, and neck and arm pain. She is a sought after teacher for head and neck anatomy and how to treat head and neck pain.
