How long does it take to stop slouching, or stop herniating a disc, or stop paying money to eat food that is bad for your health? It takes as long as you want to continue injurious ways.

"A few days after you left for your conference, something in the news caused me to start thinking you should be in the news…….
"In other news today, scientist Dr. Jolie Bookspan is prescribing doses of Personal Responsibility and Activity for various joint pain conditions. Her work along with regular doses of PR & A will result in curing many forms of back pain, knee pain and foot problems. She has also gone so far as to suggest its off-label use may cure non joint ailments as well.
"Since PR & A is neither a pharmaceutical nor a medical device, companies that normally engage in the distribution of free pens have not found the financial benefits of PR & A.
"Many doctors have not seen PR & A in their patients or on pens, and therefore are not familiar with its indications. "

- It is up to the person's view of their own body - do they want to stop damaging themselves and do beneficial things, or must they have others change them with constant treatments, sessions, therapies, adjustments, "somatics," (etc). Get free exercise of body and mind by taking personal responsibility for your own slouching. How are you sitting right now? Do you slouch waiting for your pain treatments or back exercise class?
- Instead of causing common health problems, then spending time and money on drugs and treatments, stop causes and do good instead. Ongoing treatments are not short cuts, but a long, indirect route.
- If you throw trash, it is no mystery when the place is trashy. Stop doing unhealthy things and you feel better.

Dear Dr. Jolie,
The methods you are introducing is natural and very effective. It may take a longer time but the final result is the best. This has been proved for thousands of years in Asian countries.
I am always inspired by your wonderful work.

Dear Dr Jolie,
You are absolutely correct. We do have control over our bodies.
I've taken up yoga this past year to complement 10 years tai chi -- there are a couple of us in our tai chi group who read your column and books and your advice has helped us immeasurably. And I use your advice for yoga poses -- so valuable, thank you!
I'm a physician, and when I try to get patients to help me help them ("At least, cut down on the smoking, please!"), their eyes glaze over and they change the subject. It's a rare patient who wants to do the hard work, and it IS hard because you are re-training your body after years of being lax.
I was a sloucher -- still am a sloucher when I'm not paying attention. Fortunately, I'm much more aware of what I'm doing incorrectly thanks to you.
Please keep up the good work, you help more people than you will every know!

Dear Dr. Jolie,
I was recently diagnose with a tear in my medial meniscus and the orthopaedic doctor suggested surgery was my best option. I was in pain a lot of time, even when walking for short distance.
I discovered your blog shortly and began to apply your methods for knee strengthening and it works.
There's minimal pain now and soon I can start running again.
Thank you for all those helpful advice.
