The Subjects and Experiments: ISb Week 1

Generally my experiments occur in doctors offices since I usually have appointments to 3 different specialists 3 times a week and my primary every 2 weeks so I know these people pretty well and they know me better than I’d like them to lol

I’m always very up-close and personal with each specialist so experimenting with them is pretty easy… no way to be out of range!

The Subjects:

Massage Therapist (MT): Discovered she’s a very bad guinea pig so she’s not included but she is part of the story. She’s very talkative, open and honest to begin with so I don’t even try to pick out differences with her. That would be next to impossible!
Session Time: 1 hour
Activity: Deep Tissue Massage

Chiropractor: Perfect test subject. He’s very profession, as any doctor should be, but he’s only a few years older than me, he’s good lookin, and usually on his game, so I figure what the hell…
Session Time: between 15 and 30 minutes
Activity: Complete Spine Adjustment

Physical Therapist (PT): Another chatty one but she’s more stand-off-ish. Strangely enough, I think she’s a little put off by my injuries and doesn’t want to touch me lol So I’m working on IO and IH with her. Not included in this experiment.
Session Time: between 30 and 45 minutes
Activity: Upper body range of motion/low impact strength training, muscle retraining

Primary Care Physician (PCP): Another perfect subject. Chatty but professional.
Session Time: between 30 minutes and 1 hour
Activity: General health reviews, consultations/referrals, follow-up care

This week I dosed up right before I left the house for each appointment. I always have MT immediately followed by an adjustment. Since I already know that the MT will not be effected in the least by mones I feel confident that my hour with her winds the dose down enough as to not upset the chiropractor, which is my main objective… especially since he’s the only male doctor I have.
I dosed 3 of ISb, 2 to the chest, 1 split to the wrists and 1 Instant Shine to the hair. I layered this with some pretty smelling body splash to tone down the neroli scent.
Chiropractics is almost intimate in itself. It’s hands-on bone moving so there’s no personal space. Anyway, he was upbeat and happy despite my complaints… odd. Usually he’ll slip write into med school talk and start explaining things to me about my condition but that was sort of a side concern for him lol So he adjusts my back and moves on to my neck, which is always fun :roll_eyes:
I’m laying on the table, eyes closed and he says, “When did you get this?” And proceeds to touch my eyebrow :open_mouth: Huh? Not that I minded, it was just unusual. I hadn’t had my eyebrow ring on in forever and he goes and touches it lol It gets better though! That was the first appointment this week. The second one same dosage, I’m layin on the table, eyes closed, he’s about to adjust my neck again and he’s talkin, while tellin a personal story he’s brushin little stray hairs away from my face… :open_mouth: Such strange behavior! But I believe those are hits.

Today with the PCP I wore Instant Shine, 3 to the chest and IH, 1 between the back of the wrists. The first thing she said was, “You look great! You look like you’re feeling much better!” She then referred me to a neurosurgeon lol She was very honest with me about her concerns with my latest CT scan results and thought it best to get a consult from another specialist.

Finally, I’m getting somewhere in my recovery and with the mones. Now, as physicians go, they should always be honest but I started to get the feeling that I needed a second opinion. I’m just really glad my PCP saw it too… at last! Anyway, I got the impression that the comments by the PCP were hits simply because I look like I haven’t slept in days lol

So as far as ISb goes, it seems to be working for me. Next week I’ll try to observe in more detail.

Any comments?

Zianaiz :slight_smile: I love your post! LOL I cracked up so much… What happened to you, were you in a car accident or something? I hope you get well and fully recover very soon. :wink:
As for you experience w/IS(b), I like this one too… Although I don’t have any evident hits or even self effects from it, I find IS/b to be pleasantly light… it diffuses well and I don’t seem to notice the Neroli scent as much while wearing IS/b. I will be ordering it in Grapefruit this coming weekend and hope to finally have some fun stories to tell you guys… :stuck_out_tongue:
Keep us posted! :slight_smile:

Mia, yeah. I was in a car accident in April which caused my upper spine to curve out of alignment and a bulging disc in my neck… hence the neurosurgeon. Numbness, tingling and weakness in my arms and hands. No fun. I’m much better than I was but I’ve stopped progressing so my PCP is worried. But, life goes on!
I can safely say without a doubt that I’m definitely an ISb girl. I agree that it is pleasantly light… good description. I keep reading that a lot of people really like the grapefruit scent but I’m not really into fruity so much. Let me know what you think of it when you get it. I’m more of a light floral, soapy, powdery type girl… if that makes sense lol
Thanks for the well wishing too :slight_smile: I’ve taken the weekend off from mones, but tomorrow starts another round of appointments! Will be posting probably Friday :slight_smile:

Wow, poor thing you! I’m so sorry, but I’m sure you’re on your way to a fast recovery! :wink:
I know what you mean about clean/powdery/floral (Cool Water?)… I’m all about fruit though lol, so I’ll update you on how I like Grapefruit scented IS/b. :roll_eyes:
