SCIENCE ESSENTIALS

While it is essential to life, oxygen can also have a detrimental effect on your health. As your body’s cells use oxygen to create energy, they also create a potentially damaging byproduct called free radicals.

 

WHAT ARE FREE RADICALS?

Free radicals are organic atoms or molecules that have an unpaired electron in their outer cellular ring. Since electrons have a tendency to exist in pairs, free radicals become unstable and latch on to electrons from other atoms and molecules in your body. This cycle creates a biological chain reaction that can damage cell membranes, accelerate the aging process, and contribute to certain ailments. Stress, lack of sleep, a poor diet, UV radiation, exercise, and pollution can all contribute to the formation of free radicals.

These unstable atoms can lead to a physiological imbalance in your body called oxidative stress. When this occurs, your body is unable to counter the damaging effects caused by these rogue molecules. This can be demonstrated by cutting an apple in half. As the fruit is exposed to air, it starts to turn brown. On a cellular level, the oxygen in the air is interacting with the cell wall of the apple’s tissues, creating free radicals.

 

WHAT ARE ANTIOXIDANTS?

Antioxidants are molecules capable of preventing free radicals from damaging healthy, functioning cells. By donating an electron to these unstable molecules, antioxidants help terminate this chain reaction before crucial damage occurs. Though your body inherently creates some antioxidants, these life-protecting phytonutrients are generally found in richly pigmented fruits and vegetables. While thousands of antioxidants are found in nature, polyphenols and flavonoids (a class of polyphenols) are two of the most effective.

 

WHAT ARE POLYPHENOLS?

Polyphenols are natural chemicals responsible for the color, flavor, and scent in fruits and vegetables. Deeply pigmented berries such as açai are especially high in these antioxidant compounds. Found mostly in the outer layer of fruits, polyphenols offer protection from harmful bacteria and ultraviolet light. In humans, polyphenols protect your body from oxidative damage and support cardiovascular health.

 

POWERFUL NUTRIENTS FIGHT AGAINST AGING

The MonaVie premier juice blends contain powerful nutrients that aid your body in the fight against aging and other symptoms of oxidative stress. In fact, just four ounces provide you with the antioxidant capacity of approximately 13 servings of common fruits and vegetables.

You must know this about your flexible flatfoot problems

Everyone has or knows someone with pain in their knees, or what some call "flat foot" problems which have been attempted to be treated with orthotics or bracing. If yours or your family or friend's foot problems meet very specific criteria, we will soon be able to offer a minimally invasive flatfoot correction technique to improve symptoms associated from talotarsal displacement in patients with flexible deformity. A company called HyProCure is training the doctors of FFLC to perform this cutting edge procedure in select patients who are candidates for such a correction.

- Dr Timm

Excerpt from their website:

HyProCure^® is a lifetime solution to the devastating effects of partial talotarsal dislocation, a foot imbalance that throws both the foot and the entire body out of alignment. It affects people of all ages, and it is the direct cause of many symptoms and secondary conditions, including: flat feet,overpronation/hyperpronation, bunions, plantar fasciitis, knee pain, hip pain, back pain, and even problems in the neck and shoulders.HyProCure^® is a permanent, minimally invasive solution that corrects talotarsal displacement at its root, realigning both the foot and the entire body. Discover how this unique medical breakthrough can stop and even reverse your symptoms, and how it can help you take back your quality of life.

In principle, anyone older than 3 years of age suffering from the effects of partial talotarsal dislocation can and should be considered for the HyProCure^® procedure. The primary requirement is that the individual has a flexible deformity versus a rigid one. This can be determined by moving the foot and artificially forcing back the ankle bone back to its normal position on the hind-foot bones. If you are able to do so, then the HyProCure^®procedure is a possible solution. If the ankle bone can be repositioned back to its normal alignment on the hind-foot bones, then HyProCure^® can be inserted to maintain that alignment. Fortunately, the vast majority of people suffering from talotarsal displacement do indeed have a flexible deformity. However, the longer this deformity goes untreated, the more likely it is to become a rigid, non-reducible deformity.

The HyProCure^® procedure has been performed on patients of all ages, from age 3 to 90 and above, and activities level, including distance runners, basketball players, ballerina’s and more. Check out ourTestimonials page to hear their stories.

Additional Considerations

It is often possible that other deformities, such as deviated metatarsal bones, ligamentous or tendon laxity or contractures, can be present which may or may not need to be addressed along with the HyProCure^®procedure. Your foot and ankle specialist will be able to determine this during your examination.

Who Isn’t a Candidate?

Some people may have a partially flexible or rigid deformity. Unfortunately, these patients are not good candidates to benefit from HyProCure^® because their feet lack the necessary flexibility to adapt to the corrected shape. These patients will need other types of treatment in order to improve their condition.

Check Yourself

The majority of people affected with partial talotarsal dislocation are candidates for the HyProCure^® procedure. In order to confirm if you may be a candidate, first check and make sure that your foot is flexible.
