Re: DLPA, etc.

[Guest guest]

High blood pressure was the only issue I recall reading about ... it

is not indicated for folks with high BP.

Sorry I forgot to mention it earlier. I don't have high BP so that

factoid didn't stick in my head so strong.

As for your question ... I would have to go back and read the articles

to know. And I would actually suggest if you are considering using

DLPA you should do a little online research/reading yourself, always

better to go to the source than to get it second hand from me or

others speaking from memory. I always do a ton before trying

something new. It makes me feel better.

Peace,

Jaxi

Me, too, I'm with you there!!

Thanks for the hint, though - it always helps to have an idea of a direction to

start in...
