How to Stay Safe and Avoid Spinal Cord Injuries
Thousands of people are affected by spinal cord injury (SCI) every year. This can be vast, affecting both friends and family. A barrier most face on the road to recovery, who are researching spinal cord injury treatment, is in learning more about their injury, and of the best way to consider treating it. For some, it may seem like being back in a school classroom; learning new words such as lumbar vertebrae, or even lower motor neurons. Having a decent understanding of SCI will benefit patients when in discussion with their doctor. It can help them to ask questions, and challenge treatment options (if appropriate to do so).

Healing with Gemstones
At the expense of shooting myself in the foot, I will say that gemstones are not a substitute for medication, a doctor’s care, or insulin. Gemstone healing is merely a funny aside for me, although it is an interest I have as well. Some people believe that gemstones have healing properties when you put them on your body or hold them in your hand. Black tourmaline has helped me bounce other people’s negativity off my energy field, at least that experience made me see there is something to this gemstone business after all. And some say that it “takes a conscious effort to open your heart and mind to the power of crystal healing.” Source.
