Celebrating the last year of the decade
Religion and culture annually
merge in December however in
2019 in the same week simultaneous
celebrations of Hannukah,
Christmas, Boxing Day and
Kwanzaa will close out the last
year of the decade.
Blockbuster movie openings
of “Cats,” “Star Wars: The Rise
of Skywalker” the Radio City
Holiday Spectacular, Twas The
Night Before Christmas at Madison
Square Gardens, the annual
Kwanzaa concert at the Apollo
Theater, and a myriad of holiday
offerings, they transform the
period to make every day this
week seem like a holiday.
Hannukah with its Dec. 22
arrival unites Jewish families for
eight days until Dec. 30 beginning
with the daily lighting of
the menorah.
The dedication commemorates
the festival of lights which
recall a miracle and victory of the
Maccabees over the Syrian Greek
army when one vial of oil lasted
eight full days.
Dreidels, foods and gifts are
all part of the Hannukah celebration.
Christmas Day on Dec. 25
returns the Christian tradition
of gift giving, family feasts and
gatherings, and most importantly
the Biblical tale of the birth of
Jesus Christ.
British Commonwealth countries
relish Boxing Day, the day
after Christmas.
The name has no relevance to
the fighting sport.
It is the day in the 1800s
Queen Victoria of England decided
she would declare in honor of
the poor. History dictates that
the royal and the rich boxed up
gifts to give their servants. On
that day, workers were also gifted
with a day off from work.
In the English-speaking Caribbean
and Africa, beach-goers
clamor to enjoy the extra holiday
. Foods and treats extend the
previous day’s commemoration
which throughout is usually
marked by attendance at church
services in honor of the journey
of the Three Kings who centuries

Did You Know Doctors Make These Common Mistakes
Using Xray or MRI To Diagnose Bone-On-Bone Arthritis?

ago took gifts to the newborn
king.
Kwanzaa begins on Boxing
Day to mark a weeklong, African-
American, cultural celebration.
Regarded as the harvest of the
first fruits, the celebration hails
African heritage and culture with
unifying principles to adhere.
Beginning with the lighting
of a candelabra called the
kinara, daily recitation of the
Nguzo Saba detail a cultural
roadmap which started in 1966.
Each principle conceived by Dr.
Maulana Karenga outlines positive
African enhancements to
unify the embattled race which
was deprived of its own practices
and cultural traditions when
slavery forced Christianity as the
primary religious practice.
They are – Ujima (collective
work and responsibility), Ujaama
(cooperative economics), Umoja
(unity), Kujichagulia (self-determination),
Kuumba (creativity),
Imani (faith) and Nia (purpose).
Each year since Kwanzaa was
introduced, festivities have been
held to mark the celebration at
the American Museum of Natural
History and the Apollo Theater
in Harlem.
Following a week of impeachment
hearings with two articles
charging President Donald
Trump with violating provisions
of the U.S. Constitution and the
advent of the New Year reflection
provides a litany of good and bad
recall.
Jamaicans are still jumping
for joy over the recent triumph of
Toni Ann Singh being crowned
Miss World. Ironically, 2019 is
the year every major beauty pageant
winner is of African descent
– Miss World, Miss Universe, Miss
America, Miss USA and Miss
Teen USA.
Grenadians registered cheer
from their nation’s positioning in
the sports/boxing arena.
And not to be overshadowed
are the deaths of Zimbabwean
president Robert Mugabe, Barbadian
songwriter Irving Burgie,
Jamaica’s reggae singer Louis
Rankin, fashion designer Karl
Lagerfeld, actors Tim Conway
and Doris Day, rhythm and blues
crooner James Ingram, film
director John Singleton, rapper
Nipsey Hussle, WBAI-FM radio
producer Jesse “Dred Scott” Keys
and Pulitzer prizewinner Toni
Morrison.

This One Thing Can Lead You To Freedom From Knee
Pain and Save You From A Knee Replacement…
You feel frustrated and sick and tired of feeling like
you are in your 90’s when you are trying to enjoy your
early retirement. Now you’re walking down the stairs
sideways step-by-step like a baby afraid your knee will
buckle. Popping Solgar No.7 vitamins and Glucosamine
pills for breakfast, has you feeling frustrated, because
the gel shots, the braces and the icy hot and Physical
Therapy is making things worse. The pain is so bad that
the sleeping is getting harder. 9 haunting words from the
knee specialist you saw echo in your head “Maybe you
should consider the knee replacement surgery soon…”
WAIT! DON’T GIVE UP… NEVER
GIVE UP HERE’S WHY…
I agree with you and it’s not your fault that the old
fashioned way of treating knee arthritis with the same
old rooster shots (hyaluronic acid injection) FAILED
YOU – just a short term bandaid! Yes, even if they
tell you they use ultrasound guided and fluoroscopic
precision xrays to put the injection in the exact place
where the bone is touching bone, it’s still the same old
placebo potion delivered in a fancier way. Ok…it helps
for some, but for you it was a waste of time… am I right?
YOUR KNEE ARTHRITIS IS
COMPARED TO A “TOOTH DECAY
CAVITY” YET THAT’S NOT THE
TRUTH…
I want to ask you a really BIG question…ok? Do you
really think that there is science backing the theory of
gel shots? Your answer was “I dunno”! The only thing
that is backing those shots, is science that Medicare
pays some money for the doctor’s appointment to
examine you! Those shots cost $500 to you! These
shots are as guaranteed as hitting the lottery!
VITAMINS DON’T WORK AND
HERE’S WHY…
Do you really think that glucosamine will reach your
joint? Honestly, you are swallowing a water pill and
you need to know that there is a huge placebo effect.
OK THIS IS A PROMISE OF A REAL
SCIENTIFIC SOLUTION NOT A
WATER PILL…
I agree with you that the Traditional Physical Therapy
DID NOT WORK! Actually it worsened your condition
especially when you were told to ride the bike, right?
SO WHAT! COME ON I AM A DOCTOR OF PHYSICAL
THERAPY AND I AM TELLING YOU THAT TRADITIONAL
THERAPY JUST WON’T WORK! I DO KNOW WHAT
WORKS.
ACTUALLY 387 REAL PATIENTS WITHIN THE LAST 5
YEARS HAVE CALLED ME PERSONALLY TO CONSULT ME
FOR A SECOND OPINION TO HAVING KNEE SURGERY
BECAUSE MY PROPRIETARY SYSTEM GETS RESULTS …
NO THIS IS NOT STEM CELLS!
Stem cells cost $5,000 and get zero results, because
there is zero proof that they work. Don’t do it! NO NOT
PRP SHOTS! Taking blood and spinning it in a centrifuge
these $1,000 injections can heal your arthritis. PRP
works for other issues just not arthritis. I know because
I spent the last 3 years being mentored by the top Sports
Medicine PRP and STEM CELL experts in the country
and I saw with my own eyes what works and here it is…

WHAT IS KNEE DEROTATION AND
REALIGNMENT TECHNOLOGY?
Forget what you just read! Let’s focus on the next few
lines below…
Your hip is like the axle of a car, your knee a shock
absorber and your foot the tires… make a mental image,
close your eyes so you can picture it now.
Can you drive a car with a flat tire? Yes, sure you can,
but you know after sometime what will happen is the
shock from the street will destroy the shock absorbers
between the axle and the tire, as the car rolls over the
pot holes… Can you drive a car with a misaligned axle?
Sure you can but after sometime the car starts to pull in
one direction and the shock absorber begins to wear out.
THAT’S YOUR KNEE! IT’S A SHOCK
ABSORBER!
KNEE DEROTATION AND REALIGNMENT TECHNOLOGY
uses a non-radiation-based laser scanner that instantly
analyzes your hip, knee and ankle alignment looking
for the exact misalignment angle. Traditional xrays
look only at the knee joint and don’t take the hip and
ankle into account causing Doctors to misjudge what is
really the true cause of the bone-on-bone in your knee.
Whether it’s your hip, or your foot and ankle, our scanner
shows us the exact measurements telling us how to
derotate your hip—based on kinesiology (the science
of muscles, bones and nerves). A few centimeters of
derotation will decompress and realign your hip, turning
on a critical small muscle deep in the buttock called the
short rotator. We do this while we gently pull your hip
with a decompression pulley device. Simply put, we
activate your weak unused hip muscle.
Arthritis Research and Therapy 18 Article 255
Functional electrical stimulation of gluteus medius have
shown that once the muscle is turned on the hip levels
out and unpinches the inside of the knee during walking.
Unicompartmental arthritis is what doctors call the pain
on the inner part of your knee and worn out meniscus.
This is exactly what we attempt to decompress using
this derotation method. During the derotation, we use
a tool called deep muscle stimulator to break up the
scar tissue in the inner knee while the hip is stretched
and derotated. And let me tell you it works and it lasts.
