Not about Migun Massage Beds
Edit to add link to Migun World
Well, not yet at least.
I stopped by to visit my parents on my way to the Migun Massage Beds. It’s always fun — we trade rants and get each other whipped up to thrilling frenzies. Pretty much like things around here.
They’ve been sorting through the stuff that’s piled up in the basement. And it sounds like they’re getting close to the bottom because last night Dad asked me if Popular Science magazines from the 1940s are worth much. And today my mom gave me the San Francisco Chronicle from the day I was born.
I was hoping to find tons of interesting facts, but most of the best of it has disappeared or been eaten by mice. The papers banner has survived (but nothing else from the front page) — on the back this intriguing headline, “Jailers Acknowledge Diabetic Note Sent” — what in the world do they mean by that?
- There are pictures from the Patricia Kennedy/Peter Lawford wedding the day before.
- A notice that NBC is halting the full coverage of the Army/McCarthy hearings. They’ve lost too much money after a week of full-time coverage and are ready to get back to the commercial shows.
- The weekly Television log is mostly Radio. The Television portion fits into about a quarter of each page (Shows the day I was born: You Are There, Life with Father, Mr. Peepers, What’s my Line, Toast of the Town, Walter Winchell, Liberace, The Loretta Young Show)
- But the most interesting was this survey of Average American’s
- Both sexes believe that men are smarter than women
- They want their sons to go to college but are split about whether daughters should go. Executives and Professionals want their daughters to go to college
- Although only 1 person in 3 goes to church regularly, 9 in 10 believe in God. Women are more devout. And Successful people are more religious than unsuccessful people.
- Educated people trust their fellow man more than uneducated people
- And the majority of people (2 out of 3) do not feel that they belong to “the great middle class” they identify themselves as “working class”
And some really nice shoes ($9.95)
Then it was on to the Migun Massage Bed store. Where they have ten heat-massage beds lined up and filled with middle age suburban men and women napping. For free.
I was there for 45 minutes. I’ve graduated to the acupuncture setting and I think I want to move into the place. I feel great, totally relaxed. It’s supposed to help blood sugar, blood pressure, arthritus and stress.
Has anyone else tried it?
Just 4 Today: February 23, 2006
Just 4 Today I’m going to drink my 2 liters of water and test my blood sugar with great regularity (just now, 1/2 hour after breakfast – 7am, it’s 150). I wish I could promise vist the Migun massage beds, but they’re just too far off the highway and I know I won’t do it.
But for those of you close to one of their storefronts — it’s well worth a visit (FREE!)
Thermomechanical Message for Type II Diabetics and Hypertension, or, “Hot damn, does this thing work?”
Have you heard of Migun massage?
It started in South Korea, it’s a mechanical massage bed, it’s free, and it purports to alleviate a lot of different ailments, including hypertension and diabetes.
Does it work?
Beats the hell out of me, but it sure feels good.
Here is what researchers from the Department of Anatomy and Neurobiology, University of California, Irvine, the Undergraduate Biological Sciences Students at the U of C, Irvine, the Sherman Chiropractic College, Spartanburg, S.C., and the Charles W. Scmidtt college of Science, Boca Raton, Fl. have to say about it in a summary paragraph of the abstract they wrote following their study of it:
“Hypertensive subjects exhibited significant decreases in systolic, diastolic, and pulse pressures after commencing Migun thermomechanical massage. Type II diabetic subjects exhibited significant decreases in both fasting and 2hrPP blood glucose levels after commencing Migun theromechanical massage. Hypertensive/type II diabetic subjects exhibited statistically significant reductions in systolic, diastolic, and pulse pressures after commencing Migun thermomechanical massage. A possible mechanism of action is proposed for the pathways affected by Migun thermomechanical massage relative to the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal cortex axis.”
Okay, but what is it, really?
