Hamstring injuries are one of the most common sports injuries, however a complete Proximal Hamstring Avulsion (PHA), where the hamstring tendons tear away from the bone, is a rare injury. I recently sustained a full PHA, chose surgical repair and am now on the slow recovery path. In my experience, there is little information available about recovery from PHA surgery. I write about my experience hoping that this information will help others. Not surprisingly, PHA recovery involves the same biochemical healing cascade and collagen development phases for soft tissue repair as for advanced skin care.
Near-Infrared Light Identified and Eliminated Irregular Chest Tissue by Deborah Tosline
I hope that sharing this personal information may be beneficial to someone. In 2017 I built a Do-It-Yourself (DIY) Near-Infrared (NIR) light spa and have continuously used it on a weekly basis to experience benefits identified by National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) research and additional co-benefits. In 2021, my NIR light spa exposed irregular tissue, caused cell death and reduced the irregular tissue to a benign condition as evidenced by laboratory imaging.
Reduce Skin Inflammation and Irritation and Optimize Wound Healing and Collagen Production with Zinc Oxide by Deborah Tosline
If you’ve read a few of my articles, you may have gathered that I use advanced Do-It-Yourself (DIY) skin care practices on an almost daily basis.

Subcision to Treat Scars and Wrinkles by Deborah Tosline
I recently acquired a 2-inch scar that runs down the middle of my forehead and as a result, learned new (to me) information on skin care as I researched “laceration healing progression” and “atrophic scar management”. Atrophic scars are those scars that form a depression in the skin surface and may result from acne or trauma.
Subcision is a simple medical procedure that uses a sharp needle to release connective tissue beneath a scar.

Dermarolling to Rejuvenate Lips by Deborah Tosline
For decades, I obeyed the recommendations of skin care specialists and avoided using strong Do-It-Yourself (DIY) products and devices on eye, neck and lip skin.
Over time, I noticed that my eye and neck skin were not improving or even maintaining good health when compared to the skin exposed to DIY advanced skin care methods. When I noticed this difference, I made a choice to treat my eye and neck skin the same as my facial skin and began applying strong DIY active ingredients and dermarolling treatments to the eye and neck skin. As a result, my eye and neck skin is slowly rejuvenating.
Despite my revelation to treat eye and neck skin the same as facial skin I continued to neglect my lips.

Its time to ditch some “products” and treatments, save some hard earned bank, reduce waste, promote personal health and reduce synthetic chemical exposure by avoiding processed foods and material goods that are easily replaced with whole natural products straight from the Earth.

Yes, Do-It-Yourself Advanced Skin Treatment Devices Work. The Science of Increasing Collagen by Deborah Tosline
Initiating a biochemical healing cascade (BHC) in the skin results in rejuvenation and better skin health. The BHC strives to maintain balance in the little biome universe of us.
