I never tested before late in 1987, though I was " infected " many years before

that. I received my early death sentence on Jan. 7, 1988. Without early

medical intervention (which might extend my life a year), I was given two

years to live. Had I listened to the doctors, I probably wouldn't have seen

the 90's.

I do not take, nor do I recommend ANY supplements. I get my nutrition from

living organic whole foods. Mostly fruits. Perhaps if you eat a mostly

cooked, dead, devitalized diet, there may be some benefit from supplements,

but eating good foods, that nature intended us to eat, is a much more

pleasant, economical and ecological way of getting nutrition. If I really

felt like I needed something " medicinal, " I might consider fresh squeezed

wheat grass juice, but that's about the limit.

Your friends obviously believe in the virus theory and have faith in doctors.

From my experience, if you want to keep your friends AND your health, it's

probably best not to tell them what you're doing. When they notice the

marked improvement in your health and ask you what you've been doing, then

you can tell them.

Your skin problems could very well be a reaction to the toxicity of all the

stuff you've been taking. An easy way to tell would be to stop for a few

days and see what happens. If you fast, juice, or eat a mostly raw vegan

diet it is possible your symptoms will get worse before you get better. Your

body is getting rid of toxins through the skin. Once they are out of the

body, the body heals quite nicely (and if you're rebounding, amazingly

quickly, too.)

I guess one of the side effects of taking control of your health is losing

some friends who aren't ready to do the same thing and don't want to admit

that they are responsible for their own disease. Sometimes it's necessary to

get negative influences out of your life. If it's any consolation, I've made

at least five new friends for every old one I lost. And the new ones are

generally younger, happier, more attractive and more successful and positive

people. (Not to imply that there's anything wrong with being old, miserable

and decrepit losers. The world is full of such people. Imagine how boring

life would be if everyone were young, beautiful and successful.)

Anyway, , the answers are all out there for anyone willing to look. Too

many people are afraid to ask the right questions. That's the hard part.

Once you realize the truth, you want to share it with everyone you know, with

everyone who is needlessly suffering or living in fear. You'll be surprised,

frustrated and saddened when you see how many people don't want to hear the

good news.

,

I lent my book out with the specifics, but I think it was something like 22

minutes of rebounding was equivalent to 40 minutes of jogging. In any case,

it's really not equal. Rebounding is far superior. Jogging on a hard

surface (unless you run like a cat) produces shock that can do damage to the

feet, the arches (was my problem many years ago), shins, knees, hips and

back. Rebounding eliminates that and in addiition, since it's a vertical

exercise and gravity is a vertical force, it pumps the lymphatic system more

effectively than jogging and the fluctuation between weightlessness and extra

g-force works to strengthen every cell in the body.

30 minutes a day (can be split up into several sessions) is excellent. Many

people have to build up to that, starting out with maybe 5 minutes the first.

Listen to your body. No pain no gain is NOT the rule here. If you feel

pain, slow down, try to vary your exercise to something not painful, or stop

and rest until the pain goes away and then get on again. VERY IMPORTANT:

You should always warm up and cool down with the gentle health bounce (where

both feet remain on the mat). Jumping (both feet off the mat at the same

time) should only be done when you are in fairly decent shape. It builds

more strength, but is not necessary for health benefits.

Cheap rebounders are dangerous. (And no bargain as they generally end up in

the trash or taking up space in the basement or garage.) If something tears

or breaks while you're on it, you can suffer serious injury. More commonly,

cheap rebounders start to sag over time (2 weeks with ones I've tried) and

don't provide firm lateral support causing the ankles to pronate (turn under)

and injure the ankles, knees, hips and back. They also absorb less shock and

are much less fun. If it's fun, you tend to stay on longer. The more you

do, the more the benefits. Doing it to your favorite music really makes a

difference.

I understand you were concerned you might not stick with it and bought a

cheap one. That's why I offer a 30-day return privilege with mine. (In over

20 years I only had to honor it once. The unit was purchased for a cancer

patient to start using when she got out of the hospital. Unfortunately the

she didn't get out of the hospital alive.)

If you still have HIV on the mind, you might want to contact Dr. Ellner from

HEAL. (212-873-0780 or revdocnyc@...). I think he may have an audio

hypnosis tape to correct that.

Regards and good luck...

Even five minutes a day of the simple health bounce,

which yields the most reps per time unit, has results

that someone can describe. It's your own experiment,

and we can use your results reported here to gauge

what to try in our experiments.

I've heard of people doing more than you but not

many. More shorter sessions rather than one

marathon session of the same total minutes might

be better, but we really need to hear from people

to find out.

Are you doing the aerobic routines, or using hand

weights?

When combining with other exercise, rebounding

should come last to clean up.

Have you seen Kangoo boots?

I have had wonderful experiences that indicate

my liver is getting cleaned up after using rebounder,

milk thistle and dong quai, and Rich 's

bowel cleanse. Everything goes together.

I bought a Needak rebounder last year from Tropical Traditions. I like

using it. I do what is called a soft bounce - my feet never leave the mat.

When I first got it I could only do 2 minutes 3x a day. I worked up to 8

minutes 4x a day. I felt pretty good. Then I hurt my knee (NOT from

rebounding) and had to stop.

I haven't used it for several months because I had arthroscopic surgery and

still have slight pain in my knee. The doctor said when the pain is

completely gone I can go back to doing it as long as I don't have any pain.

Hope this helps.

Im reading about rebounding right now, which is a form of exercise that is

supposed to help build all of our cells stronger including building bone

mass.Its called Rebound Exercise- The ultimate Exercise for the New

Mellenium. I got it at Piccadilly Books, where they publish Bruce Fifes

books.I am the worlds biggest couch potato but i think I could bounce on a

minitramp a couple of times a day.

[Guest guest]

I like my rebounder very much. When I first started I

couldn't do more than a soft bounce because of a leaky

bladder issue. Now I can go 10 minutes and actually

jump with no leaks. Dee, if you aren't a vegetarian

you should try collagen peptides for that knee. They

sure did help my hip pain.

Carolyn,

Go to a sporting good store if you want to get one to try. You can get one for 29.99 - 39.99 I think. Don't get one from wal-mart, K-mart, or stores like that because they are very cheap. If youfind you like the one from the Sp Goods store then you may want to look into a more expensive one like I have called a Needak 1/2 fold. The legs fold down and the rebounder folds in half so youcan store it under a bed. It also has a softer bounce which makes bouncing more enjoyable.

I wouldn't think it would harm your asthma, but instead help it. Rebouding against gravity helps every cell in the body pump out toxins and cleanse out the lymphatic system which should improve your condition over time. When my kids have a cold and are having a hard time getting the gunk out through coughing I will make them go down and jump 100 times. After that they will have a good productive cough and get all the junk out.

wow, we could use that around here... not only have i had asthma all

of my life, but one of my sons seems to be developing it as well

::sigh:: anything that helps to keep the lungs clear is

wonderful. i was just wondering if all of the bouncing would make

me lose my breathe too fast, too soon. so, do you find that you get

an exceptional cardiovascular workout from it? i mean, if it is hard

cardio for you (or anyone else without asthma) then it would probably

be impossible for me.

i suppose that there are different bounces that i could use to lessen

or intensify the cardio effect as needed??

The expensive one is actually about $219 at this site. http://www.bouncewell.com/rebounder-catalog/needakhalfPD.htm This is the rebouder I have. I'd like to get some rebounding videos. As I continued looking I noticed there is much to look at and concider. The 29.99-39.99 one was the U.S. price back 5 years ago. I couldn't allow my hubby to jump hard on it because it was the cheaper one, but if he jumped on it some it would stretch it out enough for me to get a softer bounce. If you have any of the messangers we will have to get on together sometime to discuss the whole rebounding thing.carolyn says: i was just wondering if all of the bouncing would make me lose my breathe too fast, too soon. so, do you find that you get an exceptional cardiovascular workout from it? i mean, if it is hard cardio for you (or anyone else without asthma) then it would probably be impossible for me.

Only if you try to olympic train on it right away LOL. Here is some info on what rebounding is good for.

http://www.healingdaily.com/exercise/rebounding-for-detoxification-and-health.htm or http://www.healthbounce.com/march-newsletter.htm scroll down on this last one to get to the info

Carolyn says: i suppose that there are different bounces that i could use to lessen or intensify the cardio effect as needed??

You begin with a gentle bounce called soft bounce, health bounce, or whatever. It doesn't make you breath hard but after about 5 min you will definately feel a clearer head. Even with my PF foot problem It improves after doing this soft bounce. My problem is I get stupid and start wanting to have more fun doing all my other exercises which then puts me off my foot for a while.

I know the rebounding discussion was awhile back but just wanted to comment.

I went to my new chiropractor last week. He is not your typical chiro, he

does acupunture and a variety of other " alternative treatments " , he has a 6

month waitlist for new patients and has great success treating a variety of

problems, not just spine related stuff. Well, I have not been going to him

long but I am hoping the 6 month wait is an indication he is GOOD. Anyway, I

asked him about rebounding and he felt it was pretty much the best exercise

you could to for bone health. He also said it is great for draining your

lymphatic system which is the system that cleans out the body. So for what

it is worth rebounding definately got two thumbs up from him.

Anyone know some good rebounding DVDs??

there are a few but it seems that the most popular thing to do is just get

on there and bounce, run, etc, to your own music. there is the 'urban

I called Homefit and Fitness Depot in Kitchener regarding rebounders.

Fitness Depot carries one for $39.99 and Homefit has a Canadian made model

called " SUNDANCE " for $279.

The first one doesn't sound like it would be very good quality but the

second one looks promising. I think it was Katy who gave the link on the

folding model, which looks great. Though the guy at Homefit didn't recommend

a folding model. Probably becasue they don't sell one.

Mabye Katy could comment on this SUNDANCE one.

However, since I don't use the treadmill, stability ball, yoga mat and free

weights that I already have I probably should just forget the rebounder idea

for awhile anyway. HAHA!

well, lisa and i are in canada so if we order from amazon.com, the price

will be higher and the shipping will not be free, but costly... and border

customs will definitely catch that size of a parcel and charge us a duty

fee, plus sales taxes. so, it wont end up being much of a bargain for us.

unfortunately the canadian version of amazon does not sell it.

while rebounding is 'zero impact' exercise, it still increases the

capacity of the heart and lungs.

here are some specific benefits of rebounding.... (from

www.healthbounce.com). if your knees hurt while doing high impact

moves on the floor, then a rebounder could be an ideal solution.

you might want to visit a sporting goods store and jump on one for a

while to see what you think of it. maybe take your HRM with you.

just to be clear, i should add that you can either just do your own

freestyle routine on the rebounder, or you can use it with your

high-impact floor aerobics videos... doing all of the same moves,

just doing them on the rebounder instead of on the floor. this

works great as long as the video doesnt require alot of space. for

example, it is hard to do proper grapevines on the rebounder as the

mat is not large enough, but it is also easy to modify pretty much

any aerobic move to fit/make substitutions.

that is exactly what i do.... i do all of the low impact stuff on the

floor and hop on the rebounder for the higher impact stuff. while

new to rebounding, the sensation of getting off can feel weird, but i

got over that quite quickly.

different rebounders have different degrees of bounce. mine is quite

firm (as are most, if not all rebounders, i believe). it does not

have alot of 'give' like a big trampoline that you may have used at

school.
