Symposium in Los Angeles, California in 2015, and was a speaker at
the Florida Chiropractic Physicians Association (FCPA) in Orlando,
Florida in 2016 on Clinical Applications of Musculoskeletal
Ultrasound.

Movement Disorders through the Carrick Institute in 2012,’16, ’17,

and teaches, as well as certifies, these methods to doctors around
the world.
In this episode, Dr. Lieurance opens the show by talking about
my recent visit to his clinic. First, we dive into what we need to
understand about back pain. When someone has back pain, the pain
isn't the problem. Instead, it's what is causing the pain is the
problem. If you're suffering from pain, then it's critical to get
down to the root cause. That way, you can start getting proper
treatment. We chat about TRT treatment, AVACEN, and PRP injections
for back pain. Plus, we talk about the importance of fasting and
why you want to consider taking a NAD supplement.

[01:50] Understanding Back Pain
- Anybody that has back pain, their problem isn't the pain.
Instead, the problem is what's causing the pain.
- Chiropractors are taught to look at structural aspects of the
spine. When you make an adjustment on a patient, you're actually
improving the mechanical movement of the spine.
- When people have back pain, they’re convinced something is
wrong with a disc. However, it may not be a disc at all.
- That’s why Dr. Lieurance likes prolotherapy. It’s a procedure
where a natural irritant is injected into the soft tissue of an
injured joint. Temporarily, you'll have relief from your pain. If
the pain goes away, then the person needs to do a series of
injections to heal the core of the problem.
[07:50] Healing The Body With TRT Treatment
- TRT (tissue regeneration technology) can help heal your
body.
- The depth of penetration of this machine can treat hips and
lower backs; it is really exceptional.
- TRT will stimulate stem cells and improve circulation. Dr.
Lieurance will use that on a lot of patients with neuropathy.
- Any area where there's damage in the body, we can use TRT
treatment to enhance significant healing in the body.
[10:10] How The AVACEN Works
- The AVACEN works on the sympathetic, parasympathetic nervous
system.
- There's an incredible amount of representation of the hand in
the brain.
- So, giving stimulus to the hand can have very powerful effects
on the autonomics. Your autonomics are really the area of your
nervous system that are taking the stress when you are in
sympathetic.
- Basically, the AVACEN will switch people more into the resting
and digesting mode.
[13:10] Getting PRP Injections
- The PRP injections are done around the ligaments. The PRP goes
in as a liquid, and there's a little bit of an anesthetic in there.
Very shortly after, it turns into a solid, like gelatin.
- Basically, it's grafting where the damage is in your back.
- The process is quick, but it is not enjoyable.
- PRP shots will help remove some of that fatty tissue in the
back. These fatty tissues will develop in the back when those
muscles aren't getting activated enough.
[20:20] The Feast-Famine Cycle
- Calorie intake is what dictates this feast-famine
signaling.
- You're signaling your body to grow and repair, or you're
signaling your body to clean and recycle.
- We have access to unlimited food, all season, all day, all
night, and we take advantage of that.
- When you're feeding, you're inhibiting your body to actually
clean and repair itself. So, we want to balance that out. That is
why intermittent-fasting and fasting have become so popular.
- People are finding that fasting is mitigating a lot of
diseases; they're literally able to reverse diabetes. Plus, fasting
can improve cancer, autoimmune diseases, degenerative neurologic
diseases, and all sorts of things.
- If you look at a lot of diseases, it’s happening because there
is too much growth.
- Overall, balance is the answer.
[34:15] About NAD (Nicotinamide Adenine
Dinucleotide)
- NAD is a substance that the mitochondria use to make energy,
and it becomes depleted very quickly.
- When you provide NAD you're giving a lot of energy to the
mitochondria. Sadly, every twenty years, you get a 50% decline in
your energy levels.
- If you're not sleeping, you're drinking alcohol, or you have
chronic stress, then you are greatly depleting your NAD.
- Lieurance created NAD+Max. Each suppository contains 500mg of
NAD+, 250mg of NR (Nicotinamide Riboside), and 250mg of NMN
(Nicotinamide Mononucleotide).
- You can find it here: https://www.mitozen.com/product/nadmax/?v=7516fd43adaa.
[38:45] How The Microbiome Will Benefit From
Fasting
- Fasting is a stressor to the microbiome.
- You have all these critters in your gut. When you take away
food, then you are taking away its nutrients. So, it will be doing
the same thing for them that it is doing for you – clearing the
weaker bacteria.
- Once you start to refeed, that's when the microbiome can
actually come back stronger.
- You will have a more robust gut, and you will have stronger
bacteria.
[43:35] What To Do After The Fast
- After the fast, you want to signal the body to go and do
repairs.
- For the most part, we want to signal mTOR after a fast, and the
best way to do that is with protein.
- Lieurance is a big fan of essential amino acids as a
supplement.
- If you really want to support your microbiome in its repair and
regeneration, then take high-dose melatonin.
