Coping with Life during COVID-19

Humor

Find something funny to laugh at every day. Laughter keeps things in perspective, and even boosts the immune system!

Set a self-care routine and stick to it

Go for a walk with your loved one, your dog, or yourself, and breathe some fresh air. Its been shown that the soil microbes that are wind borne make it harder for other infective diseases to stick to surfaces and can inhibit infection. Not to mention the value of being outside in the sunshine! (Just keep a distance of 6 feet. Wear a mask if you have symptoms)
Get up and put on your most cozy clothes! There’s a joke about “ I’m working at home, and now have daytime pajamas and nighttime pajamas.” While funny, it’s important to feel as if you are connected to others by dressing the part

Instill habits that defeat the virus

Drink warm drinks, not cold ones. Even if you crave cold drinks, it is possible to delay viral replication by keeping your drinks warm
Take your antivirals and immune-boosting supplements. This can get old, but this is your best way to prevent getting a viral infection.
Avoid ibuprofen while science studies the effects on this virus.

Connect with others

What Doctors Say

Christine Staub, M.D., a family physician with a special interest in the treatment of chronic pain, has seen the Bowen Technique "unlock the door" for patients who reached an impasse in their pain treatment. "I am thrilled to have Bowen Therapy as a resource for myself, family, friends and patients," she said.

Gerry Townsend, M.D., offers the Bowen Technique to acute and chronic patients who have not responded to traditional treatment for myofascial pain syndrome, back pain, fibromyalgia, arthritis or fractures. Although skeptical at first, C.S. Whitman, M.D., an orthopedic surgeon, now regularly refers patients to her program.

Mitchell R. Mosher, DPM, claims that the Bowen Technique is one of the most powerful physical medicine techniques he has learned in 24 years as a podiatrist. He routinely uses the Bowen Technique to complement his treatment of various foot and ankle injuries.

Audrey Butko, M.D., considers the Bowen Technique to be a blessing in her practice because of its simplicity, results and patient satisfaction. It has nearly eliminated her need to use cortisone injections.

Clinical Study on Brain Injury & Homeopathy

A study led by a former Clinical Instructor at Harvard University School of Medicine demonstrated that homeopathy significantly lessens the symptoms and improves the functioning of individuals with mild chronic head injury. In 1999, a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of 50 patients, with a four-month follow-up, was conducted at Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital. It concluded that not only was the use of homeopathic medicines effective and safe, it found homeopathic treatment resulted in a significant improvement in the "Ten Most Common Symptoms Scale" of mild traumatic brain injury and a highly significant improvement on the "Difficulty in Situations Scale."
