Title: Why You Really Hurt: It all starts in the foot.
Author: Dr. Burton S. Schuler
"The foot bone connected to the leg bone,
The leg bone connected to the knee bone......."
This book has been brilliantly written, with the sincerest of purposes. To help people through the use of preventative measures. To give hope to the millions of people who suffer daily, whose lives are in upheaval while they search for magic to stop the pain, to sleep, to walk, just to feel better.
Dr. Dudley Morton, first wrote about the devastating effects of a shortened 1st metatarsal bone in the 1920s. He actually patented the first form of the Toe Pad and taught hundreds of his fellow medical peers his theory. One of whom, was Dr. Janet Travel, who not only became the White House physician for President Kennedy and Johnson but went on to research Myofascial Pain Syndrome and how the domino effect of a Mortonīs Toe could cause it.
Simply explained, a Mortonīs Toe means that the 1st metatarsal bone, which attaches the big toe to the rest of the foot, is shorter than the 2nd metatarsal bone. This causes the 2nd toe to be longer than the big toe. You might ask yourself, how can 1 short bone cause such damage? To understand the answer, I strongly urge you to read this informative book. It is believed that a simple, inexpensive, homemade Toe Pad, may alleviate a major portion of related chronic conditions, avoiding years of pain, medications and even perhaps surgery.
The author, Dr. Burton S. Schuler details many outcomes that could be caused by this condition and the benefits of the Toe Pad. He advises some cautions when first wearing it and the reason for the use of heat, which increases blood circulation. He writes some preventive suggestions in regards to sports activities and wearing high heels. As he says, "Feet and all other injuries are easier to prevent than repair." The book is written for the layperson, simple vocabulary, yet very detailed. It includes pictures, X-rays, humorous cartoons, index and glossary. Doctor Schuler has been in Podiatric healthcare for over 30 years, practicing in Panama City, Florida. He is a long time professional member of the American Diabetes Association and is a Certified Wound Specialist. This is his second published book, along with numerous articles and interviews. I have only mentioned a few of his many achievements.
As a recipient of titanium-coated implants in both big toes, I can say with all honesty that I wish I had read this book 20 years ago. I do intend to try the Toe Pad to see if it would still help with other chronic problems. I am honored to have read and reviewed this book and I Highly Recommend Why you Really Hurt.
