		<description><![CDATA[What is Gluten and what foods contain it? This article contains the definition of Gluten, some Gluten foods,  reference links for more information and some food substitutes.
A brief definition of Gluten:
A protein composite of gliadin &#38; glutelin found in foods processed with Wheat (Gliadin) and/or other grass related grains such as Barley (Hordein) and Rye (Secalin). It helps hold dough together and give it elasticity, rise and shape. It is also added to products otherwise considered low in protein. <a class="more-link" href="http://chronicpainjournal.wordpress.com/2012/02/01/what-the-heck-is-gluten-what-is-it-in/">Continue&#160;reading&#160;<span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a><img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=chronicpainjournal.wordpress.com&amp;blog=13782792&amp;post=998&amp;subd=chronicpainjournal&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

http://news.nationalpost.com/2012/01/23/illegal-drugs-feeding-off-pharmacy-supply-chain-these-drugs-are-killing-a-lot-of-people/

    Many of you know I am an advocate for a balance of Eastern &#38; Western medicine, when living with and treating Chronic Pain. Although, I strongly suggest using ANY therapy that may work, I also understand Opiods are a necessity for many of us. I am a Canadian and benefit from a universal health care program, but it does NOT cover acupuncunture, naturopaths, physiotherapists, massage therapists and many other Non Westernernized Medicinal techniques. This leaves many, without any releif other than from narcotics.   <a class="more-link" href="http://chronicpainjournal.wordpress.com/2012/01/23/national-post-article-stolen-opiods-a-big-problem/">Continue&#160;reading&#160;<span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a><img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=chronicpainjournal.wordpress.com&amp;blog=13782792&amp;post=971&amp;subd=chronicpainjournal&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Ok, so went last Monday and had 25 more of these Bio Puncture treatments. They are certainly not as painful as botox. I told my Naturopath about the response my body had and he said that is "Good".

This round, is supposed to start to clear out more of the "Junk' my body is still holding onto around the injury sites. Then I might have more pain again and it might make me tired again. <a class="more-link" href="http://chronicpainjournal.wordpress.com/2011/12/12/done-round-2-biopuncture-pain-treatment/">Continue&#160;reading&#160;<span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a><img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=chronicpainjournal.wordpress.com&amp;blog=13782792&amp;post=938&amp;subd=chronicpainjournal&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last week I had injections done in the above locations. They are natural supplements that are supposed to heal the tissue and nerves. My body doesn't know how to control itself, so it needs to be restarted, I guess.
I can't say if this is working or not, but I know aside from masking the pain through medications and band-aid treatments, I need to try to heal the injury. Until then, it is never going to go away. <a class="more-link" href="http://chronicpainjournal.wordpress.com/2011/12/01/new-treatments-for-pain/">Continue&#160;reading&#160;<span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a><img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=chronicpainjournal.wordpress.com&amp;blog=13782792&amp;post=928&amp;subd=chronicpainjournal&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

AND....while we are working towards that......please use the resources available that are free, anonymous and empathetic. Sites like Chronic Babes, Wellsphere and all the other remarkable Bloggers out there like Phylor. You can also rate your Doctor or Medical Practitioner - rating can be done anonymously and it helps for other patients to know what they are all about. You can also sign petitions - like Pain is Real - to get our message out there to everyone.

You are not alone. You are not crazy. You are not worthless and including yourself in the communities out there in cyberspace can help others and help you.  <a class="more-link" href="http://chronicpainjournal.wordpress.com/2011/11/16/920/">Continue&#160;reading&#160;<span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a><img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=chronicpainjournal.wordpress.com&amp;blog=13782792&amp;post=920&amp;subd=chronicpainjournal&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A few months ago - someone called animal control because they heard barking from a house. Animal Control came and found 3 dogs left alone in a house. 2 dogs upstairs and a 5 and half month old puppy in the basement. The puppy was very sick and was taken to the Veterinary Clinic. They weren't sure if he was going to make it.
On paper he looks like a mess. Many people would pass him up. Too much in Vet bills. Too risky for health issues. Too much work.You know, he is the easiest dog I have ever had. He is completely toilet trained. I have a thing about dogs in the dining room. It took 2 nights before he was lying on his bed during dinner - no corrections. He is good on the leash - sometimes he gets wobbly - but hey who doesn't? He is a survivor . <a class="more-link" href="http://chronicpainjournal.wordpress.com/2011/09/28/pet-therapy-chronic-pain/">Continue&#160;reading&#160;<span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a><img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=chronicpainjournal.wordpress.com&amp;blog=13782792&amp;post=836&amp;subd=chronicpainjournal&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
