Ever notice how many people cannot do a simple hamstring stretch without feeling pain and stiffness?

Perhaps you’re one of these people. If so, I have some very good news for you.

Whenever you stretch your hamstrings, you create a sense of calmness. You unwind your mind. You de-stress and decompress.

And the further you’re able to stretch your hamstrings – the further you stretch your mind.

You let go of fear.

You let go of the past.

You start going places you’ve never gone before.

When you stretch your hamstrings in the proper way; a way in which you let all the air out of your unnecessarily inflated balloon – you don’t just cause a physical change in your life. You cause a change in your mind and body.

You open yourself to greater possibilities. You stop holding back. You get up and go.

Making even a 1/2 inch improvement in your hamstring stretch can be a huge marker in your ongoing development. And the day you can toss your foot onto a tree branch to stretch your hamstrings, the way you see me doing here your friends will be amazed.

You, on the other hand, will simply be relaxed and loving life.

Yes, life is a lot better when you’re loose, limber and flexible – all the way around.

So make sure you give yourself some of the flexibility your body/mind wants, needs and deserves.

This morning, while in dream state, I had a conversation with Joe, a long-time customer, who received a Purple Heart for his service in Vietnam.

One afternoon, Joe called and began to rave about one of my products like a man who’d just had a triple espresso.

“You’ve got to tell people about this,” said Joe. ”

“About what?” I asked.

“About your cure for tinnitus.”

“What cure for tinnitus?”

“The one in your Combat Stretching program.”

“I don’t have a cure for tinnitus in that program,” I said.

“Oh, YES you do. And I know this for a fact. I’ve had tinnitus since I returned from Vietnam. A grenade went off very close to my head, and I’ve had ringing in the ears ever since. But after doing your neck stretching exercises in your program, the ringing stopped.”

“Huh?”

“Yes, it’s true. And get this: I went to the VA to visit a couple friends who were in the war with me. They also had ringing in the ears. I taught them your neck exercises and the same thing happened. Matt, you’ve got a cure for tinnitus and don’t even know it. That’s why I had to call. I had to tell you myself.”

“That’s amazing,” I said. “Thank you so much for letting me know.”

“Matt, you’ve got to get the message out,” said Joe. “There are millions of us with this issue and we’re tired of being told there’s nothing we can do.”

After I got up this morning a friend came by to train with me. I told her the story of Joe, and what he told me years ago. Well, unbeknownst to me, she also had ringing in the ears.

“Well, let’s fix that,” I said. I gave her the exercises to do and both of her ears popped open. She could hear much better immediately.

My friend, as your mentor, I must confess that I failed to put the message out about tinnitus, as Joe suggested to me so long ago. No excuses. I got busy with “other things” and his call to action slipped through the cracks.

So I appreciate the reminder I received this morning, in deep R.E.M. sleep. And I’m not making this mistake again. I am NOW letting you know that the neck exercises in Combat Stretching may heal your tinnitus, if you suffer from it.

At the very least, they’ll remove stress, tension and weakness from your neck – and how many people suffer with that?

Even more, the other exercises in the course may fix umpteen other aches, pains, weaknesses and imbalances.

This means it’s time to Get to work on mending your body and putting all the pieces back together.

And so, if you want to Live life with gusto and enthusiasm – then start or end your day with Combat Stretching.

Best,

Matt Furey

Three weeks ago I worked on Clarence, a 26-year old former college football player and fire fighter, who told me he needed to have hip
surgery.

“Why” I asked.

“Because of all the car wrecks I had in football.”

“Car wrecks?”

“Yeah, playing college football at the level I played, it’s like being involved in 40-60 car wrecks per game. And my hips are really in pain because of this. I can feel all kinds of junk obstructing the area. I need to have a procedure to get the joint vacuumed out”

“Well, why don’t you let me work with you and see if we can avoid surgery,” I said.

“I’m game,” said Clarence.

Later that evening, Clarence and I got together. I put him through an array of hip loosening exercises that I’ve learned over the years
through my study of Chinese internal martial arts and healing methods.

At first, I was amazed at how weak Clarence was on these exercises. How can a 6’4″ 290 pound man who can run a 4.6 40-yard dash, have such a glaring weakness when his muscles were so big and strong.

Once again, this goes to show what I’ve been saying for years. Just because your muscles are big and strong, doesn’t mean your tendons, ligaments and joints are in good condition. Not to mention your organs.

Anyway, even while Clarence was doing these exercises with me, he felt a change taking place within.

Something was happening internally with these movements to clear the pain.

After his brief 20 minutes with me, he went home. It was about 9 PM when he left.

The next morning, not even 12 hours later, Clarence wrote me to tell me he was already 60% better. A week later – 90%. And this past weekend he toldme he was completely out of pain.

Now, how much were the exercises I gave him worth?

For one, they helped him avoid hip surgery. Second, he can now train again at the level he wants. And third, all day long he is pain free in his hips. He can walk, run and just stand around without pain. All of those seemingly simple tasks were difficult for him before he began doing the exercises I taught him.

How’d you like to learn the exercises I taught Clarence, as well as all the secrets in my Combat Stretching course.

As your mentor, I’ll guide you through exercises from head to toe, designed to free you of pain, weakness, stiffness and irritability. Exercises designed to unlock the energy within your body, freeing you to live life to the full.

Go and place your order NOW.

P.S. You’ll also receive a number of bonuses for being one of the first 50 to place your order today. In addition to these bonuses, I’m also going to make sure you get to see one of my newest videos, wherein I’m teaching a class on the exact exercises I gave to Clarence. I’ll have this video set up on-line for you to view later this week, in a private “members only” website. So don’t hate yourself for missing out – order NOW.

In the fall of 2004, I visited the world famous Shaolin Temple in China for the first time. While there I received a private audience with one of the head monks at a local school.

He and his students exhibited their amazing strength and flexibility for an entire hour. Afterward I sat with them and asked numerous questions about how they developed their skills.

And what I learned was amazing. At the same time, what they discovered about me was equally stunning.

Even though they knew I won a world title in China (1997), in the oldest style of kung fu (shuaijiao), the tour guide made the classic mistake of assuming because of my stocky, muscular build, I was inflexible.

“Unlike yourself,” the tour guide said, “these monks have muscles that are very flexible.”

My Chinese brother-in-law then began to laugh. “Ta de ji rou zhen hen ruan,” he said. Translation, “His muscles are truly soft.” (By the way: “Soft” muscles in China means that your muscles are flexible instead of tight.)

More than a few eyebrows raised when the monks heard I was flexible – so a demonstration was in order.

I stood up and fell over backwards into a perfect bridge. From this position I kicked over and back a few times, showing the flexibility in my spine and shoulders, as well as the strength in my core.

After this I slid into the splits. Then I spread my legs wide and flattened my chest on the ground like a pancake.

And from there I maneuvered onto my stomach with my hands grasping my ankles. I began bouncing off the ground from this position, just by using my stomach muscles.

At this point “the proof” was conveyed.

“Zhei ge lao wai zhen de hen li hai,” said the translator to the head monk. Translation:

“Our foreign friend is really good.”

Inflexible Muscles Equal Pain and Old Age

After I left the temple that day, I couldn’t help but think about all the people who automatically assume that I’m tight and inflexible because of the way I’m built.

Moreover and more importantly, these people could greatly benefit from the unique system of stretching I teach.

So listen to me now and believe me later: If your muscles are stiff, your joints are tight and you have aches and pains all over your body – then the very words you’re reading right now may be the very catalyst that turns your life around. In fact, these words may even represent the moment in time in which you stopped growing older and got out of pain.

Yes, flexibility and aging tend to go hand-in-hand. Show me someone who is stiff and inflexible and I’ll show you someone who is aging far faster than necessary.

On the other hand, show me someone whose muscles and joints are loose, pliable, supple and flexible – and I’ll show you someone who is defying gravity, someone who’s turning back the clock and living a life of high energy and vitality.

To view the incredible special I’m having on the best-selling product, along with several photos of me stretching in various countries of the world, go here right NOW.

P.S. I have three awesome gifts for the first 50 people to hop on this offer today – make sure you’re one of them by going here right NOW.

Today I’m going to tell you something I’ve never mentioned before in an email – or in writing, for that matter.

And that is: My top students consider me to be a “healer.”

Now, before you get all freaked out or “woo, woo” – stay with me for a moment. Several of my students are medical doctors. In fact, two are surgeons. And these people, above all my other students, really, really want to know how I do what I do.

Even so, I’ve been reluctant to do any sort of training on healing – much less mention it. Not only that, if someone comes to me and requests a healing, the answer is almost always, “No, I don’t do that.”

On the other hand, if I volunteer to help someone, chances are 100% that something amazing will take place, and you’ll be healed of your pain.

That’s one heck of a claim, I know. At the same time, these physicians, as well as other health and fitness practitioners have watched me do “my thing” on numerous occasions.

One time, a lady in Manhattan showed Dr. Trevor Neal, a foot surgeon, her toes and asked his opinion. “What’s wrong?” she asked.

“You have a bunion,” he replied.

“How to fix it?” she wondered.

“Surgery.”

I then blurted out, “ILL FIX IT.”

A moment after doing so I consciously wondered, “What are you talking about? How you going to fix her foot?”

But something was guiding me to say what I said, so I knew she was going to get healed if I laid hands on her and directed my intention toward that end.

After a minute of back-and-forth, the lady agreed to lie down. I closed the curtain so no one else could watch or interfere, and two minutes later her toes were completely straightened.

Not only that, but her foot glowed like that of a 20-year old (she was mid-50’s).

I called Dr. Neal inside to see what just took place. He was stunned. Meanwhile the 50-something, still unaware of what happened, continued to say, “I’m too old. I’m too old.”

“Your foot sure doesn’t look old,” I blurted out. “LOOK.”

As she looked she still couldn’t accept what had happened – so I left the building. Three months later, when I saw her again, her foot was still in good shape.

I’ve done the same with shoulder pain, back pain, foot pain, elbow pain and so on.

I’ve even helped a woman who couldn’t read, drive or focus – due to vertigo – get over it within minutes.

Now, as great as you may think the above is, the truth is I’ve done FAR more good creating specific programs on DVD that you can use at home to heal and fix your self. And this trend will continue in the future.

As of right now, I have the following products online and available for you to grab onto:

How to Eliminate Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Pain Within 30 Days

How to Eliminate Plantar Fasciitis and Heel Pain in 2 Minutes a Day

How to Eliminate Elbow Tendonitis

In the near future, I’ll be releasing some other products that teach you how to use your body/mind to heal yourself.

And this month, members of the Furey Faithful will receive a DVD showing you how I got a former college football player out of hip pain.

Clarence, only 26 years old, kept telling me how he needed hip surgery to remove debris and fragments from the hip joint. Finally, I got tired of hearing him brag about needing surgery – so I told him to meet me so I could give him some exercises that would heal him.

Less than 12 hours later, the man wrote me to say he was 60% better. And this was just from a few “rinky-dinky” easy exercises.

Five days later Clarence reported being “90% better.”

90% better in five days. I’ll take that any day, won’t you?

Now he can run like lightning once again. Imagine a 6-4, 290 pound man running a 4.59 40-yard dash, and I think you get the picture.

One last thing: In the fat-burning secrets seminar I’m going to be holding first week of October, I’m also going to cover a lot of information on healing.

When I make the announcement to “be there” – make sure you’re ready to enroll at once.

Rise Up!

Matt Furey

P.S. If you’ve got knee pain, check out my friend, Dr. Bill Stillwell – who had a 90% “no surgery needed” patient rate at his clinic in NY. He’s got a terrific DVD that teaches you how to avoid surgery and eliminate knee pain within 30 days. It’s terrific.

P.P.S. Yes, you can heal with your mind alone – but the best healers are those who are strong physically and mentally – and spiritually. Let me know if you’re interested in more on this subject.

Last week I upset a few folks.

Whenever I tell people that cardio is not the fat burner it’s touted to be, a lot of feathers get ruffled. After all, there’s a lot of dough and time invested in the activity – so it stands to reason that some get upset.

It’s not easy giving up those long, long walks. It’s not easy to stop pounding your joints into putty with distance running. And it’s difficult to believe that endurance training is bad for your heart.

Do I respect distance athletes? Hell yeah.

But I don’t follow their lead. Instead I follow the routines that have always worked for me lightning fast. Those are the workouts that got me out of breath, huffing and puffing – in 30 seconds or less. Those are the workouts that strengthen your lungs and heart.

In my Combat Conditioning book and DVDs I continually emphasize lung power.

Why?

Because the more powerful and robust your lungs, the stronger your heart, immune system and entire body. Not only that, but the more oxygen you bring into your body, the more fat you’ll burn and muscle you’ll build.

This fat burning effect only takes about four minutes. But not four consecutive minutes. Just four minutes of heavy breathing out of 15 or 20.

I’ll be covering this in incredible detail in a fat burning secrets seminar I’m holding in early October – wherein I will reveal a great many secrets that you most likely don’t know. And what you don’t know can hurt you as well as cause you countless wasted hours of time.

To get ready make sure you follow the exercises in Combat Conditioning and Combat Abs – even though this event will transcend those programs in a major way.

This last weekend I was on the beach in Clearwater guiding a couple dozen students through some running drills.

One of them told me the following before we got started: “I can’t run because I’ve got plantar fasciitis.” I looked at him and said “I have a DVD that teaches you how to heal plantar fasciitis in 2 minutes a day.” He smiled and said “I have that DVD.”

I replied: “You may have it but you haven’t been using it. If you were you’d be out of pain.” He smirked and said: “Actually, you’re right. I was almost completely out of pain, then I stopped.”

This is a classic case of someone taking action to solve a problem, but as soon as the problem begins to go away, he stops taking action. Then the problem returns.

We see this tendency with diet, workout programs and every other endeavor. If you’re guilty of doing this yourself, change this tendency.

Eliminate your plantar fasciitis now – and don’t ever let it return. Go to www.heelpainfix.com.

Best,

Matt Furey

P.S. If you have carpal tunnel, wrist or elbow pain you can heal that too by going to www.carpaltunnelfix.com.

You may think I’m showing my age on this one – but the truth is I’m showing my memory.

That’s right. It was the rematch of Roberto Duran v. Sugar Ray Leonard.

And it was supposed to be the fight of the century, pitting two of the greatest prize fighters the world has ever seen.

Duran thought he’d make mince meat out of Leonard, once again – but such was not the case. Leonard taunted Duran and pounded him into submission. So much so that in the 8th round, the Panamanian fighter known for his “Fists of Stone” – gave up while chanting “No mas. No mas.” to the referee.

So now that I’m back from China (where I tune out almost all media), I’m hearing all this rumbling about a proposed Mosque being built near Ground Zero in Manhattan.

And surprise, surprise, “No Mosque. No Mosque.” is being chanted all over this fruity and nutty plain. Meanwhile I’m sitting here doing my Zen breathing exercises – observing how this whole joke of an existence we live in continues to play itself out.

It’s only natural that you’ll get tired watching this charade turn into a fiasco. It’s also only natural that another sarcasm is getting in line, right behind this one. In fact, there’s a parade of them.

So what you gonna do?

If you’re going to use your energy to protest and fight, you better have a back-up plan that allows for rejuvenation. And the best way to rejuvenate is by doing exercises that get you winded – FAST.

Instead of doing awful aerobics or contemptuous cardio – you’ll be far better off expanding your lungs and strengthening your heart the way nature intended.

Animals in the wild do NOT go for long-distance runs, day in and day out. Instead they do body weight exercises and survival sprints or food foraging hikes. And the rest of their day is spent eating and rejuvenating.

Picture the cheetah. Once a day – he does a 70 mph sprint to secure his lunch. Then he’s free to eat, sleep, stretch and meditate the better part of an entire day.

What a way to live?

Well, your body is no different. If you do exercises like those taught in Combat Conditioning you’ll quickly understand that the way of the cat is the way for humans too.

Get yourself out of breath FAST. Get to the point each day where you say, “No Mas. No Mas.”

And mean it.  Then let your body/mind recharge.

Believe me, you’ll come back stronger and healthier. And you’ll be grateful for it all day long.

Wake Up,

Matt Furey

P.S. By the way, thanks for the replies about the dangers of diet sodas. I’ll have more in the near future on this subject.

P.P.S. And speaking of curing cancer, I’ll be releasing a CD program on this next week that I did with a cancer survivor. So it’s very important you stay tuned into the Fure-cat and all his Cheshire musings :)-.

Yesterday I was at the ball game, Rays v. Orioles, and was proud to see the Iowa lad, Jeremy Hellickson, win his third-straight.

As you can imagine, food at the ball park ain’t necessarily “healthy” – but I must say that where I sit, it is. Even so, one row beneath me, even when there are plenty of healthy choices, a mid-50’s mom and pop – make me shake my head a time or three.

For example, the couple get up from their seats and go into a small buffet molesting room. But instead of returning with something wholesome and fresh, they come back with a plate loaded with pie, cookies and cakes. Once in a while this is fine by me – but they do this at every game. And it shows.

After returning from two months abroad, each person looks a good 20 “el bees” heavier. That’s Fureyese for “lbs.”

At first I assumed I knew why they were so much heavier. I figured it was the pies, cakes and cookies. But when I saw what they were drinking, a brighter light went off inside.

“I’ll have a diet coke,” said the woman to the waitress.

“I’ll have one, too,” said her hubby.

A diet coke?

You may think this isn’t such a bad idea – but think again. Do you realize what goes into a diet soda? If you did you wouldn’t drink one – EVER.

People have been conned to believe that artificial sugars are better for you than sugar.
But this is totally false. No, I”m not saying sugar is good for you. What I’m saying is that sucralose, aspartame and so on are bad, bad news.

Some years ago I began writing about the dangers of diet soda and people began to dump them down the drain in droves. At the time I thought that they contribute to many problems: migraines, seizures and so on. But now I know they are even WORSE than I thought.

Back in February I interviewed a cancer survivor, Ted Nicholas, who told me he is certain that diet sodas and artificial sweeteners gave him bladder cancer. And he’s not an isolated case. There is no possible benefit in dumping a 12-ounce can of chemicals into your body – no matter what the advertisements say.

If you drink coffee or tea – drink it straight. And if you don’t like the taste, use a sweetener like honey or stevia – not the sweet and blow you see in the pretty yellow packages.

Incidentally, I am getting more and more thrilled by the day with the new program I’ll be releasing very soon. So thrilled that I continue to add to it – and I’m planning a fitness seminar in early October that will smash the doors down and turbo-reverse the aging process like nothing else I have ever released before.

Not only that, but you’ll get leaner far faster than anything else you’ll ever do. I’m living proof as I spent the entire summer perfecting this program – and upon my return everywhere I go, people are STUNNED. And that’s saying a LOT.

Stay tuned for information on this forth-coming seminar – which you WILL want to attend – no matter what.

In the interim, dump the diet cokes and artificial sweeteners. Read the labels of everything you want to purchase. You’ll be amazed, I think, that crap is even put into most so-called health supplements.

Wake up,

Matt Furey
