Wow! The past couple of weeks since the crew came back from tracking the route
across the country has flown by! Tellman’s upping the barefoot mileage this week
and he’s run barefoot in some local races. This weekend, he’ll run the Shaker
Seven in New Hampshire. Ben, the Navigator, has been putting the route on the
map. Soon we’ll be able to share it with you via Google Maps. We’ve been putting
together a kick-butt PR team, following up with some awesome leads on doctor/
acupuncturists, and shopping for RVs.
By the way, any motorhome enthusiasts out there? We’re looking for a rig that
sleeps 10 people. I’ve been looking at Class Cs, Coachmen Freelanders and the
Fleetwood Jamboree. Any other advice?

Hey Everybody - As you probably know I am preparing
to run across the USA starting on September 9th…
We have a crew of about 10 people that will be
helping make all this possible, but there is
one key person that we need to help pull this off…
We need a Medical Doctor on the run with us - and
I REALLY want a MD who is also a great Acupuncturist…
Ideally, I am looking for a fairly new MD who
is fairly young (maybe early 30’s) who can go on
the road for 3-5 months with us on the bus across
the country.
Especially someone who LOVES RUNNING!!!
That probably means someone who either isn’t married,
or who doesn’t have kids… and absolutely loves
crazy adventures!
If you know of someone that might be a good canidiate,
please reply to this blog post and give us the contact
info of both yourself and the person you are suggesting
(name, email and phone)
Don’t worry - we won’t publish your comments, but we
will follow up with you and see if we can find
the right person.
Thanks in advance for helping me out with this!
Shabambo!

I do know of a great Acupuncturist, but he is much older and would probably not be able to go on the road. But if you visited him he could change your life. He lives in Cupertino, CA, Dr. Song is a Chinese herbalist, Acupuncturist, he has helped us with many problems. If you would like to go see him let me know and I will send you his address and number.
Tellman, I already forward your announcement for medical doctor, young, never married, no kids. He,comes from Indonesia. Take your adventure ,get many miracles . Good luck
Would love to help out but I live in Australia in a small town and all our MD’s are married with families. Suggest you ask at hospitals if any new MD’s are interested to go along with you on the run. To a successful run…Cheers. Anke
It is a very interesting idea. I would love to see it happening soon.
I am an excellent acupuncturist and herbologist in US, a physician in China. I could be the perfect guy for this job. I love running and run 3-6 miles everyday, Sunday 8-10 miles, and i would love to go with all of you. But the reality does not allow me to do so. I am training for 1/2 Marathon in Columbus, OH this October. Maybe i could run with your guys when you are passing OH.
Keep me posted.
Tellman: First: Congratulations on your marriage to Jodi!! I feel your happiness. I have a call into my Naturapath regarding your rea
quest for your run. I will pass those results to you.
I need your help: I started the List Building Club back in December of 2008. Then came the need to wind down what had consumed my life for the past 3 years. My Mother being diagnosed with dementia, shutting down her business, 5 million in anual sales, selling her property, finding an assisted living home for her, after trying to care for her myself
and I could go on and on abount what has transpired duning that time: however, I will only tell you what has remained during all of this as stable and balance for me. Your emails daily I did not respond to, but, they have been very important in keeping me going. You always say Tellman: You Can Overcome Anything!! Somehow I know that is the truth and that you are telling me the truth. I do need your special help now, as I need to know if I can generate enough income from the internet to keep me going or If I need to get a “Job” . And by the way it does not do any harm to anyone to ask you this: Would you and Jodi like to take sort of a honymoon in Phoenix? I would provide your airline tickets(as my daughter is a pilot for Southwest Airlines) , healthy food, a clean enviornment, people to help you train for your run, (
Such as Brain State Technoligies) and you could help me set up at least 2 to 3
thousand a month coming in to support our efforts. Tellman: Tell me what you think

I read the request and was intrigued but you have so many amazing responses, I am clearly outmatched. I am a doctor of philosophy, a physical anthropologist. I understand the body as well as anyone I know, taught medical students gross anatomy. I have researched the musculoskeletal system as much as any human alive and I have trained top-caliber athletes for 30 years and know running from the perspective of a trainer and a runner. I know sports injuries from the perspective of a trainer and from that of someone involved in rehab…and keeping athletes “running” or whatever else they were doing.
While I am not in my 30s, I am always up for an adventure, having traveled all over the world as an anthropologist, and for months at a time. I was also an emergency room orderly while in school and was a US Army medic…I am a disabled veteran.
I can run my business from any laptop and my kids are grown and my wife wouldn’t mind.
But you clearly have some really cool people wanting in on this, so I will offer my assistance but for this project you have others below that, if they check out, will be awesome. Best of luck to you Tellman. If you are in a pinch. give me a call!
Good luck Tellman! Your cause is honorable and amazing.
You should definitely consider what Dr. Kay Grail said in regards to chiropractic. Nothing has a greater influence over our health and human potential than a nervous system that is without interference.
Chiropractic removes that interference.
I wish it were a few years earlier. I am a chiropractor and I do acupuncture. If you are coming through Raleigh, NC, let me know. I would love to help.
Healthfully yours, Dr. Cheryl Hanly
I am letting loose my opinion regardless.
Have you consulted any sane health professionals or
trainers about this plan?
You will run a marathon a day for how many days?
Barefoot?
I don’t have all the facts about your training, and
so I risk sounding like a jerk who “rains on parades”, nontheless,
put my $50 on day one for serious breakdown and $100 on you never finishing day two.
It will take more than a medic/acupuncturist to keep you running.
Yes, I spent considerable time before deciding to actually post this comment.
Not you, nor anyone else should run a mile, let alone across the country, with generic shoes that are not adapted to your individual arch. FEW PEOPLE KNOW HOW TO DO THIS ACCURATELY. You are inviting disaster by putting your body through such an extreme, grueling test without the base motor units aligned, namely the foot and ankle.
Formerly a chiropractor and naturopath, I gave up on these systems as unworkable in 1988. Have had no visits to medical doctors in 50
years and seen no chiros or NDs since 1988. Using my Priority Balancing techniques I usually get same day results with back , hip, knee, ankle, neck and shoulder pain, sciatica, plantar fasciitis and shin splints. Willing to put my money where my mouth is.
Regards,
Robert Lorne
What you need is a podiatrist. You need healthy feet to run. It all starts from your sneakers, foot orthoses, and proper blister treatment! You also need a massage therapist to loosen your muscles up after your run. I am a board certified podiatrist, unfortunately, I am attached to my practice, and my family. Good luck. Email me if you have further questions.
Please contact Georgetown School of Medicine and Creighton School of Medicine…
Ask for the Dean of Students at both Universities
It is always best to go straight to the source!
Also…They ALL have just taken boards so…You’ll get a NEW doctor maybe if one is interested…
Or…The Dean is ALWAYS best to inform you of bright candidates in the field.
If you still need assistance…
Be back in touch with me…As a travel nurse…I have TOO many ideas!
But try these deans first….Great Schools…Excellent results!
Happy Travels….

Hello Tellman,
It may works for you: http://www.emofree.com/
Is an owesome technique that you can apply yourself, based on acupunture. Please review it before you make a judgement of it.
Cheers!
Ricardo.
PS. It´s just for helping you. I don´t qualify nor I want to run!… Take care of your knees, please.
Do you know that Lance Armstrong, Tiger Woods, Wayne Gretzke, Celion Dion and even Arnold Schwarzenegger relay on CHIROPRACTORS to make sure that they are playing at the TOP of their game!
How about advertising for a Doctor of Chiropractic. We are the ones who remove interference so your body can work at it’s best!
Have an amazing adventure!
Dr. Bonnie Kay Grall - Harmony Chiropractic Appleton, WI
Tellman, I know of a few doctors that might take you up on this adventure. I will be at a doctor’s appointment this week and will find out about who can and who can’t. I will be back in touch with more info on friday.
I do wish you the best for your run and pray that all goes well. God help those feet!
Hi Tellman,
I know of a fellow who is both an MD an Acupuncturist. He’s older but very athletic - has had a lot to do with basketball. Only problem is that he’s in Australia!
Could be up for it but would need to be contacted though.
Good luck,
Carol
Tellman, Actually I do know an acupuncturist who is quite a sportsman
too but unfortunately he doesn’t fit your criteria. He is married with a kid and is over 35.
Sorry I can’t help.
Amelia.
I’ll forward this via email to a friend who co-owns http://www.AIAM.edu The American Institute of Alternative Medicine. They teach acupuncture as well as massage…etc. There may be someone in the mists who would like to run with the wolves!
To your constant realization of your worthy ideal!

I am not a MD but i am a qualified acupuncturist and member of the British acupuncture council. I am 24 years old with 3 years of clinical experience, i am a keen all round sportsman leading an active lifestyle including running on a daily basis. This would be an amazing opportunity for me as i am always looking for new adventures and challenges. I would assume that you already have an appreciation for what acupuncture can do to help you to achieve your goal of crossing America, however, these benefits can be further enhanced by having a practitioner who’s sole profession is as an acupuncturist. With a deeper understanding of the theory and with more experience of practicing acupuncture the advantages can be far greater. Thankyou in advance for your consideration.
As the founder of the ‘I Am Magic’ foundation, a network of complementary and alternative therapists who donate their therapies to children with cancer and other illnesses. Working with medical doctors, we bridge the gap between traditional and complementary therapies such as acupuncture, hypnotherapy, massage, etc. I have access to a number of acupuncturist.
I will send your request throughout our network.
Our new site with studies from U of Michigan, Princeton, Harvard, etc. on the effectiveness of complementary and alternative therapies will be available July 4th. iAmMagic.org
I am a Gerontologist, AcuMed Practicioner (acupunctue without needles}
and probably one of best Licensed/Insured Massage Therapists in the US. I also wrote a book about preventing pain. My clients are or have been Robert Kyosaki Author of Rich Dad Poor Dad, Dr. Promisel who brought the use of Titanium to the world. The Mayor of Port St. Lucie, Ms. Feinbloom who’s husband invented contact lenses, Mr. Polard who ran with Jessi Owens in the Olympics etc. My wife is also a Massage Therapist who would be also very beneficial as there is nothing like a medical four hand massage. She is 33years old in exellent shape and would be interested in this adventure as well. Does this run end in Forest Gump tradition? With kind regards, Tom
Hi Tellman,
I have someone who might be interested. She has been an acupuncturist for a while and is also a massage therapist. She’s AWESOME! I have sent her the link to your post and she will reply if interested. She may also know someone, if it’s not something she wants to do.
soaking your feet in “ice cold” water is the VERY wrong thing to do at first. : war water first, then a little cooler, and again cooler.
You place your body under more stress having to deal with the enrmous temperature difference. i.e., if you are in the desert, you don’t drink ice cold water, but warm tea or something else warm - to balance the temperature difference.
And - yes, I’d know one of the best acupuncture MD’s in the world - he sits in Munich/Germany. I suppose you could afford to fly there.
Hi Tellman, got your e-mail, I don’t think I can help you get a Doctor, I live in Canada about 45 minutes from the US - New York Border.
Wish you the best on your run and to find a Doctor that will comply with your wishes, it may be a little hard because aren’t most Doctors really really busy, they certainly are in Canada.
Wishing you the best and start taking care of those feet right now to harden them up or you will for sure be in enormous pain.
amazing ifno could be reached through David Wolfe” <dave@longevitynowprogram.com

If you want a great Chiropractor/Acupuncture Practitioner–the best I ever knew was Ke Zang when he was at New York Chiropractic College. Last I heard he moved to Austin, TX. If you can locate him and he is available, he is the best. Otherwise, I would suggest you contact New York Chiropractic College–they also have an Acupuncture Program–and they will let you post a notice on the website. Current and past students use that site to see what is available. More and more Chiropractic students are also getting their acupuncture degrees so there could be many opportunities to connect with someone there. The website is http://www.nycc.edu. Good luck.
I don’t know of a Doctor per se, but I do know of an herbalist that helped a friend of mine exceedingly well. My friend had a bicycle accident and seriously injured his shoulder. He saw a Doctor, and was told his injury would put him out of commission for weeks.
My friend then contacted this herbalist and was given an herbal formula that immediately, and drastically reduced his pain, and practically, and miraculously healed him in a couple of weeks. I suspect this herbalist can help you.
I’m trying to contact my friend now, to get this herbalists contact info, and as soon as I do, I’ll pass that info forward to you.
Can’t help with the MD, but intrigued by your project and may be able to offer some other help. Undertaking a run of this nature will put enormous stress on your joints and general wellbeing. I am an independent distributor for a range of totally natural products, which can help with protecting your joints, improving your metabolism generally and increasing your energy levels. We also have great products for blisters and a skin cream which not only act as sun block, but also nourishes the skin at the same time, even a great one if you burn! If you think these products may be of benefit to you, (I know they will), let me know and I’ll put together some information for you to take a look at.
Go cat go, I wish so bad that I could be the one you were looking for to join you on your run. I love what you are doing, of course you could be doing anything you want but no, you step up like a man, to help others. I have been working on the New Orleans Fire Dept. for the last 35 years, we see a lot of runaways here in New Orleans, in fact I have felt the last beat of their lives on some of the medical incidents we respond to here. To go up to your patient and check for a pluse or a breath and to feel the last one or two of that persons life, well you can just about imagine how that would make you feel. Of course we use all our skills, training, power, and gear to give them (all) another shot at life, and living the best they can. When you put yourself in a runaways shoes or shoe less feet, or in exact same place of a homeless person, you can really understand the difference of living the best life you can. It may just be a pair of clean socks, and a handful of change like I gave this guy the other day.
Yeah it would be so great to be with you on that run, but you know all of us are with you, all of us who post here, are caring, loving people, who run with you in spirit, as we take care of our family’s needs. Spirit hun? As I watched that video from the Best Western in Parker, AZ I noticed the picture of the Indian hanging on the wall behind the young woman. As you run out west mabey you will feel, see, or just know in your heart and soul more deeply that even you ever thought you could at the impact yours having with this run to help others. I know it has touched me. I guess because I deal with those in need so often. Including my family who depends on me, from my parents to my grandkids. Here It is on Dadsday and as I write to you I cant help but wonder where are those Dad’s who children are on the street?? If you talk to them and ask them you world really be surprised at the different answers. I know how easy things can go wrong, and put you on the street. My own sister died from living on the mean srteets. This was years before Hurricane Katrina, she would not ask for help, she did not want to bother anyone, finding out to late, and watching her die in the hospital made me know how easy it could happen to anyone. She died with a cross in her hand, and a prayer book, voted most likely to suceed in the High School year book.
Sorry, but to all of you check on your family everyday, with just a phone call to make sure their OK.
I know you have heard this before but I have to say it in text, HIP HIP HOORAY for tellman, your doing good, Go cat go. Yours for the success of those in need. Captain Gustave Ysaguire isagusgus@aol
Just to express my admiration for what your doing to promote a very honorably cause. Thank you!
As a social services professional with a long career in the humanities field, you and the disenfranchised youth of the world will have a special place in my thoughts throughout your selfless adventure.
Hi Tellman, much to my desire to help you out with your required MD/Acupuncturist, I might be incapable at the moment, but will try to check it out with my friends at the chinatown. will keep you posted. ragards.
Bryn Walsh is a brilliant acupuncturist.
I don’t know if she would be interested at all to work with you, but you can find her through her website http://www.brynwalsh.com
Hi Tellmann, I have relatives that are doctors, but not available to travel. If you want to win, you should use the products that were used by people in World and Historical events like the US Ski Team and the US Snowboarding recipients, the piilot that made the longest human powered flight and traveled 72 miles across the sea powered by a drink called “Performance”. This company also provided NASA with a rehydration beverage for the Shuttle Astronauts.
You will see 3 products on the website for Joint and Muscle pain and another one that Enhances Range of Motion and Flexibility.
Wishing you lots of success, health and happiness,
Nancy
Dear Sir, I am Reflexologist also an advanced Herbalist, But before I go any further I am to old for your escapade, but I can give you the name of an ingredient which should help your stamina & you would not eat as much food, but this ingredient gives you more energy & you take two level table spoons per day it expands in your stomach so you could take it morning & night, it has six times more calcium in it than milk, also fifteen times more magnesium in it than broccoli, it also controls your blood sugar & blood pressure, it also has many more ingredients which are essential for your body I also have many more remedies for the feet which probably you could get elsewhere. thanking you I have given the best advice anyone can give.
Sorry, I can’t think of anyone I know of, but my suggestion is Sports Doctors.
Now that I think of it I know of one who helped me when I tore a rotator cuff in my shoulder. He might be just what your looking for. He is young and athletic
and does a lot of running. I’ll try to find him again. I saw him at Scripps Clinic in Rancho Bernardo, San Diego, CA a few years ago. I don’t remember his name right now, but I will look for him. Hang in there.
I think what your doing is fantastic, but why no shoes? That just might be your un-doing. Think about it. Best of Luck, Peggy
Tellman That’s an awsome project - running across the whole USA! I don’t meet any of the criteria for who you are looking for, but I’ll watch out for news of your progress. And the great thing about internet marketing is that it won’t stop all the time you are (literally) on the road.
Although I’m a sports med based chiropractor, runner, barefoot running advocate, and focus on running injury prevention and rehab, I unfortunately can’t take off for that long Tellman. I’ll keep my ear to the ground for you. Thanks for getting my feet wet with yours and Shawn’s program. I’m revamping my site and adding a product page of sports med and back rehab self-help videos. Good luck on your journey mate.
I’m not a med or Dr. or an acupuncturist. My life would be the ideal one for you because I have hitchhiked across this country back when it was safe to do so. Unfortunately, I can’t make the trip with you, I have throat cancer and even though they think it is gone, ther seem to be some complitions and I have to stay around so they can find outwhat the hell is going on.
Sounds like a great adventure. I haven’t had a real adventure for some time. Thanks for the invite, but I just can’t help as much as I would like.
Good luck and the spirit of an old “left-over from the sixties goes with you,
Take care on your journey and keep me posted if you can.
Sincerely,
J.W.Mauldin III
Dear Tellman,
I have not a qualification you need, but I have many good friends there in America, Who can help for you. I send letters and have a hope , they send
answers to you. Stay in Hope:)
Tellman,
A guy who would be perfect woudl be Phillip Maffetone. A terrific chiropractor from Mahopac, NY who also incorporated acupressure and nutrition - and as far as I know, quit practicing to write and do the book tour thing.
Oh yeah - he is an avid distance runner.
If you can find him, maybe through his publisher, he would be your guy.
Say hello from me.
Have you heard of Dr. David Woolfe? I saw an interview between him and our ‘good buddy’ Frank Kern yesterday. He might have some suggestions for your preparation for your run. He might even join you! But you’ll have to ask him.
Hi there. Love to help, but I’m a Doctor of Chropractic living in Australia.
I know an awesome DC living in Plano , Texas[ who just happens to be my daughter, Dr Sue-Ellen Hegel] but she couldn’t leave her two young children. Maybe when you get to run around Australia!!!!!
Every best wish
Joanne
Ahhuhm… you said “Don’t worry - we won’t publish your comments, but we
will follow up with you and see if we can find
the right person.” But? All the comments are posted LOL
I was just thinking about the doctors at Veterans Hospital, is a Teaching Hospital in Ann Arbor, Michiganl
Many of them are young doctors just starting out, and it may be possible for one of them to take the time off to be of assistance.
Tellman, You had me scared half out of my wits!!!!!!!! Before I could quickly read your e-mail, I had begun to think of all the bad things that had happened to you……………
Sorry but I do not know of anyone that meets your criteria. The closest that I can come is that “I heard there is a great Acupuncturist…
But I will be thinking of you on your ‘run’ and praying for your safety.
I am an acupuncturist (CA). Although I’m not a runner now (I did run cross country in h.s.) I do teach Tai Chi. I am older than mid-30’s, but am single and can travel. Would like to talk with you about this opportunity.
I can do better than a doc:
1. I have a product that will keep the inflammation down even before it causes a problem. See http://www.themiracleenzyme.com
2. I have an enzyme that improves oxygen/carbon dioxide exchange OxySorb See http://www.goodhealthusa.com/pd_oxymoxy.cfm
3. I have the best electronic Acupuncture device in the world HealthPoint that you can use on your self even when you have a rest stop for 30mins. See http://www.Dovehealth.com
4. I have a D-Ribose formulation to speed recovery of the tissue.
What do you think?

logan chiropractic is a college here in st.charles mo. look at their website and contact them directly they might have a student graduating that could possibly use some money they graduate with $100,000.00 in debt after 4 years of study
I’ll check it out. But seriously for the days you don’t want to go on —- think about putting me on call —-for life, mental, spirit,
goals coaching. Hey it’s an idea. I know some doctors it will just be if they are willing.
Interesting. I’m a former RN but have been out of nursing since about ‘95. You might post an ad on the Raleigh-Durham, NC Craigslist. We have both UNC and Duke medical centers here and, I believe, there are some acupuncturists in this area, especially Chapel Hll area. Good luck!
I know a very accomplished martial artist who is a Doctor of Acupuncture.
I don’t know if he would have time for the road, but might be able to recommend the right person. His website is:
I would be happy to help, but I’m on the other side of the world
from the US, I live in Australia.
I’m sure there will be a lot people in Americ who would be interested
to accompany you and your team on this challenging journey.
I’m not an MD, but I am an Emergency Room nurse with 14 years experience- with all kinds of alternative tips and tricks for health maintenance (bet no one has told you how much magnesium you are going to need, have they). Check out my website above.
I have also crewed for extreme athletes as well, helping a friend do Primal Quest- the North American equivalent to ecochallenge as well as helping him through the Badwater UltraMarathon across Death Valley.
Not only do I come with my own 40 ft RV that we could use if you don’t already have one to use (and you pay for the gas bill!) But I also come with a highly skilled massage therapist who specializes in tendonitis relief! Check out HIS website at http://www.tendonitisexpert.com
We have no kids and work our own schedules and live in the abovestated RV and both are working on (soon to be) successful websites and would love to blog about these adventures on the way while working on our websites.
Let me know if we interest you as a team and give us more details.
I don’t know any doctors/acupuncturists that can take that kind of time away but I do have something that will definitely help you keep your body in shape and make sure you finish what you started (without tearing muscles or destroying your joints). Endurance athletes around the world have been using our programs for years to improve performance and avoid injuries.
And you’ll be one of the first to get this new DVD series that I’m happy to send out to you to make sure you STAY HEALTHY. It’s a Yoga format that’s physical therapy based called Yoga Tune Up and we’ve created customized routines that get sent out each month to subscribers. You can learn more about it at http://yogatuneup.com but just have someone get in touch with me if you’re interested.
Sounds like an awesome adventure… and we need to keep you alive and well on that journey so you can come back and keep teaching us!
My suggestion would be to contact Duke Center for Integrative Medicine, and ask to speak to the MD in charge of acupuncture. They should be able to give you the names of some eligible MDs. You may want to ask for Dr. Sam Moon, and feel free to let him know that Dr. Sue Parkerson referred you. Hope this helps!!!! I am former Duke Med Faculty, and a friend of Dr. Moon.
BTW, Duke Center for Integrative Med (a part of Duke University Medical Center) is a FABULOUS wholistic medical facility. CHECK IT OUT!!
Tellman, please think of taking some Nopalea with you. It is based on the prickly pear cactus and is fantastic for reducing inflammation and helping your body to heal. You can read testimonials here: http://www.nopaleaworks.com.
Hey Tellman… I don’t know a doctor who can take that kind of time away, but I do have a great program that can help you keep your body prepared for that type of incredible wear & tear on your muscles and joints. We’re just finishing up and preparing to launch a customized Yoga based DVD program - it’s more of a physical therapy based Yoga format that has been a GREAT asset to endurance athletes around the world in helping to stay out of pain and avoid injuries.
Let me know if you’re interested and I’m happy to send you out the DVDs… you’ll be one of the FIRST to see them as they’re not even completely finished yet! You can see more about it at http://www.yogatuneup.com
Congratulations on what is sure to be an AWESOME adventure!!
Best,
Robert

Thank you for your e-mail. Unfortunately I am not medicine doctor and I do not believe for acupuncture. It could work probably on the Chines because they weight only 50 kilogram. I am sorry I can not run whits you because I 62 years old and it is not good for old peoples to run. I am happy if I can walk Halsy peoples, I get message from the Free Lotto that I win 1 500 000 dollars, it is only in theory not in reality.In Latin languish is a sentence: NOMINEM PUCINIA DIVIDENTUM FACIT. If you know somebody in your area who can Latin so it could be easy for this person to translate to English. For me it is difficult to translate from one foreigners languish to another foreigner languish.
Most everyone will make me million er i dollars on Internet emails I received every day. I am promised win Ferrari, I do not want Ferrari because I believe it is Jung car. I do not want have a big house wits golf green outside. Because it is not comfortable to walk from one room to another one way 100 meter and 100 meters back. The peas on the earth its most important for every one who lives on this planet. I do not forget the US Air force bombed Serbia and killed innocent civilian peoples women and children. Just protect Muslims in Kosovo. Because same idiots us Bleir, Solana and the president of US they want too do it.The friendship whits Islam you get pay for in September 11 on attack on World Trade Cent rum, London, Madrid.Americans are most religions christian country in the world. Haw it is possible that president of US is Muslim which is even not born in USA.
HISTORIA EST MAGISTRA VITEA. You learn from history. The antic Roma was collapse too.The Latin languish which have only 30 000 words desperate because all Romans was killed and then despaired their “culture” It was Vandals who did it. The wana languishes has 300 000 world and peoples who can speak wan languish can make about 9 000 000 new words of their languishes. English has only 240 000 words because it is undated languwich.
You can only thing whits words.Close your eyes and do it.
Hi, wish I could help you but my acupuncturist is way past in age to being able to jog. Another of your post, a Julie Woods, suggested EFT. You shoud look into, it’s a great system for self maintence and very helpful when it comes to stress and pain. (www.emofree.com)
I don’t know an MD, but I would like to suggest that you also look into EFT (www.emofree.com). It is emotional acupuncture without needles and can really help.
First thank you for doing this you rock, and Good Luck!
Second, DON’T get an MD you will be MUCH better off with an Osteopathic Doctor D.O. read more and post your request at http://www.osteopathic.org
Third, I have a gift for you my Fellow Vermonter Internet Marketer guy with Scandinavian Genes. email me and I will hook you up with this gift. I promise you will LOVE it

As a health practitioner my self I work with MD’s and other colleagues but not familiar with one that will fit the category you want. They are all established in their profession. As a certified nutritionist I can tell you that you and everyone needs a healthy body and eating properly is not sufficient — you need supplementation.
For your run across the country you will need something that will hydrate you with electrolytes and Gatorade is not the best. I put people on a nutrition program and guarantee that if they will use these 4 products faithfully for 3 months and if they tell me (even lie) they did not feel better I will refund every cent they spent in the 3 months. Crazy — no, because the products I use are all clinically tested at independent universities. I have not had to issue refunds to date.
If you want a program that will give you stamina, endurance, keep you hydrated with electrolytes all you have to do is email me, or call and I will give you a program of what it takes. I do not charge for information or putting programs together, disease programs or such — I only charge for products.
I work with many cancer patients and will get a 95% cure rate with no chemo, radiation or surgery. I have more than one web site but you can open the cancer one to give you an idea of Dr. Kelley’s work. I write, edit and publish their books. Dr. Anderson is one of my colleagues.
Hi Tellman,
What a great adventure! Ill keep my ears open. Dont know of anyone offhand but who knows what the universe has in store.
Best of luck to you.
I love your emails i read most of them i am on so many lists i cant keep up. I think your best bet would be to find a acurpuncturist ,Md and a chriopractor all from the region you are going to vewnture into and i also recommend you hire yourself a top-notch guide to keep you safe.
Hey Tellman, I can’t think of anyone right now but I will check into my connections with the magazine I am in,You can also check into the Chamber of Commerce in the directory for people.Take care,Lorraine C. Van R-
Hello tellman,
I know a doctor acumpputurista, is that even my doctor, but he is already over 50. I can make contact with him tomorrow to see if he knows someone who can fulfill your requirements with an interest in participating.
Regards.
Tellman - I do have a couple of MD’s - and I’ll query them for you. In addition you should have one of our E-MedSticks for your run. Ideal. Check out our web site http://www.e-medstick.com
Thanks,
Larry
Hey Tellman,
Would love to be your doc on the trip…but I’m a middle aged doc working hard to set up my online biz to sponsor my work with needy orphans.
I’ll look around fer ya.
God Speed
P.S. Keep well hydrated and practice some yoga before you start…check out mindfulness…Kabat Zinn’s videos…mental fitness will also be a challenge to your daunting goal
You may want to look at the volunteer search &rescue groups scattered
throughout the US (I have been a member of http://www.sjsar.org for 20+ years).
Most of these groups are unpaid volunteers with great skill levels, including
medical and they are always looking for ways to raise funds for their units
needs.
Maybe you could putg together a program benefiting you as well them,
sort of getting ‘handed off’ from one group to the next as you move
along your planned route.
Just a thought. Thanks for listening.
Bob.

Hey there Tellman,
Everyone that I know is either an acupuncturist or an MD. I do know of this one woman though who just got her MD within the last two years. I knew her in my past and have a friend who still keeps in touch. If I remember correctly she runs, she is into alternative stuff and so on. I will check into that for you.
thanks for all the e-mails…. love hearing from you….. truly
wish you were running with sneakers.. your poor feet…… i think of you every mile….. runtellmenrun…… your friend and student . marygarder
I love you and what you are doing for runaways. I was a runaway and let me tell you - it’s even worse than you might think.
There are so many people looking to take advantage of you and much of the time it seems there is NO hope, nothing good, and drugs (and death!) seem the better out.
Some of the sweetest, gentlest, best kids i’ve known have been runaways only to end up completely lost, and even worse, dead. And they HAD to run away because of terrible step parents or just horrible parents in their lives.
Horrible! It’s so sick.
i only got out because of a church… i was lucky. do you know how many aren’t?
People like you can make ALL the difference in the world. i hope you find your doctor soon! Thank you thank you thank you!!!!!!!!
I don’t know anyone who fits that description but…if you think it could be useful in addition to your traditional health care, I do a type of energy healing. It’s beyond energy healing but that is the term most people understand.
It can be done remotely with great success. If you want more info on it you can read my sales page at: http://www.theintentionproject.com/thankyou.html or read Dr. Eric Pearl’s book The Reconnection.
Sure wish I could help,but I don’t know many doctors and those I do know don,’do accupunture. Iwish you the best on your run. Stay safe. from orphansal47
I live in New Zealand but get all my daily supplements and health tips from an American MD who TALKS SENSE! You can check him out on his website: http://www.alsearsmd.com/content/index.php. Whether he will be “free” to run with you I don’t know, but he might be able to refer you to someone and you will benefit greatly by looking at his supplements to help you through your trip. You have trained and must be very fit yourself, but it might help you to take a look at his book where he discloses his research on the effects of different methods of fitness training. http://www.alsearsmd.com/content/index.php.
There is another supplement you might want to look at that could benefit you and anyone else on your team to help speed up sports injuries. It is a new natural supplement which triggers the bone marrow to release your own body’s stem cells to help repair injuries. My dad had a stroke a year ago and we started with this treatment (unfortunately only 6 months later). Since he started taking high dosages (recommeded by the scientists who developed it) he has shown incredible improvement. You can find more information on Stemenhance at http://stem_cell_enhance.stemtechbiz.com/Default_US_EN.aspx. The product that will help you is http://stem_cell_enhance.stemsport.com/. (None of these links are affiliate linkis - since I live in NZ, I can only be an “email” rep for Stemenhance, which means I don’t receive commissions, because Stemenhance is not yet available in NZ.) I recommend these products and Dr Sears because it is WORKING for me and my family!
Good luck to you and your team!
Dr. Kokayai is a facinating man. A medical docor who then went on to do all the other studies, ie. chinese meds, acupuncture, herbology, etc. when I am a successful entrepreneur like you I will continue working with him again. He most probably know of someone if he is not interested.
As a non-athlete with Olympic athlete beloveds, I hope that my eclectic knowledge is useful to what you want to accomplish.
[1] I strongly urge you to have a ROLFER (not Feldenkrais, Soma, or any other Rolfing offshoot) with you. A sprain that can have you out of commission for days or weeks (with standard Western medicine help OR acupuncture support) can be “fixed” in a matter of hours, even MINUTES, by a great Rolfer. I know the woman who was the Rolfer for the US Olympic team when the Olympics were in Los Angeles. She was called their “secret weapon”. Rolfers are OFTEN secret weapons of some of the greatest athletes and action hero actors for a good reason! I can provide support, scientific AND anecdotal, about why a Rolfer will significantly improve your cross-country [literal! ;-))) I'm proud of you! ] running experience. I can also help you find a GREAT Rolfer (not just a good one.)
Next, I strongly urge you to find an MD who is ALSO a naturopath and/or homeopath. That way, you’ll get effective NATURAL support, boosts, and healing that is only AUGMENTED by pharmaceuticals (with dangerous side effects). Part of the goal, I hope, is for you to be as healthy and happy as possible both during AND after your beautiful, miracle-producing run. Having the right KIND of MD will help ensure that. Again, if you want support of knowledgeably vetting an actual health-oriented MD, I’m delighted to support your process.
Please look into Cell Food. It’s the #1 oxygen-uptake enhancer in the world; it is completely non-toxic (so you can take as much as you need); and it is a particularly potent performance enhancer, both mentally and physically. It also happens to speed minor injury healing. I speak from intense personal experience. I’ve had 2 VietNam POWs say they’d rather go back and be tortured than endure the pain that I underwent for 29 years. I was on double the amount of pain killers they give to terminal cancer patients when they’re at their end stage… Cell Food helped reduce my pain by 40% IMMEDIATELY. More if you’re interested and helpful.
Please look into all of the Boiron blue tube homeopathic remedies that would support your healing. Arnica is a primary one because it rapidly can reduce any pain. (you take it orally and topically; when doing marathons I take it AND put it on every few miles — AMAZING how well it works!)
Please also look into EFT. ( http://www.tryitoneverything.com/cmd.php?af=958656 ) It is potent self-care that will help ensure your GREAT mindset AND catalyze powerful physical healing, all with ease actions you can do on your own. I teach an augmented version of EFT that is, at least anecdotally, over 2x as effective as standard EFT. I’d be happy to share it with you. EFT is — and I need to stress this — a POTENT healing accelerator AND health support based on proven science and acupuncture meridiens.
These techniques/products — and others I will share if you want — are all candidates for a very specific kind of sponsorship for which you may be eligible. This kind of sponsorship would let you passively promote athletic health, as you cross the country, while also giving you a significant financial boost AND get you the products you need (more than likely) for free. Something to consider. Once again, I havealready helped someone get pending sponsorship from one of the leading cosmetic manufacturers in the world.
Each one of these modalities of health support, individually, will significantly enhance the caliber of your pilgrimage. Together, they’ll synergistically blow your frigging socks off! [that's a technical term! ;-))) ] I know a lot of non-theoretical, EASY performance enhancement techniques (which is why athletes listen to a non-athlete like me.) Too long a tale to tell of why that’s true. I’ve even helped a rock drummer get into the Guiness Book of World records and shatter a 15-year old speed record. That same person credits my counseling with helping him become one of the 3 best, FASTEST drummers in history. It’s my bliss to empower people to empower themselves and it’s been true for decades! ;-)))
I do have more suggestions, yet I don’t want to overload you here. If what I’ve said is of interest, I’d love to speak with you in more detail about how to implement what I’ve suggested and whatever else would be helpful. Even if don’t hear from you, Tellman, know that there’s an Urban BizBliss Shaman in MA who is holding you and your good work — both in IM and on this pilgrimage — in her prayers. I really am proud of you, Good Sir. It’s a pleasure and privilege to be on the planet with you.
I do hope I hear from you and that what I’ve already said is helpful.
I am a Holistic Health Practitioner specializing in peak performance for athletes. There are several world champions among my clients. Although I am not an MD, I am an expert in the mind-body therapy called Qigong, which is the basis of Acupuncture and the entire Oriental Medicine. Before I got ordained as a Tibetan Lama, I served as a sergeant in the Soviet Special Forces and currently look into developing resiliency training for the US military.
I would be available to go on the road with you to provide an additional support that virtually no-one else in the US would be able to offer. I would hope to continue doing my work during the adventure, as I can write my books and do phone coaching almost anywhere.
For more information about my work, please visit my site http://www.qidao.org or check out my book The Art of Being in the Flow.
I look forward to running with you.

Hello Dear Tellman!
I thank for Ferrari, but for me it is not real!!!!?????
For travel I have become outdated and to offer
Nominee I can not - with anybody almost
I communicate!!!! Greetings of Casey and Ebenu!!!!!
Excuse Sincerely Anatoly Silkin.
I know just the guy (casually) but I am having a senior moment and can’t remember his name! He spends several months each year around the world donating his services wherever he can help the most and is also into fitness, running, mountain climbing, etc. You guys would probably be great together. It will come to me but in the mean time I have written his good friend, my daughter to get the details which I will forward to you when I get them. I remember when you wrote about your upcoming run some time ago but I have slept since then and don’t remember why you are doing it - only that I wanted to go (if you plan to run really slow - I am very good at barefoot
Even if the good doctor can’t make this event, I think you two should get to know each other for friendship and whatever other symbiosis may come…
see scientology website look for scientology handbook and look for “assists for injuries and illnesses” you need to know this cold BEFORE YOU GO ! assists that will help you for endurance and injuries that will certainly occur YOU NEED TO STUDY THIS! IT’S A SIMPLE TECHNIQUE THAT WAS EMPLOYED ON THE ATHLETES IN GEORGIA AT THE OLYMPICS IT’S BIG IN LOS ANGELES YOU CAN CALL BRIGDE PUBLICATIONS AT (323) 580 5513 AND ASK FOR REBECCA OR MIYA ISREALI THEY CAN SELL YOU THE BOOKLET THAT SELLS FOR AN ASTONISHING $5.00
This is my daughter’s website. She is “Colorpuncturist”. It is like accupuncture, only no needles used. She uses a method with color which is more powerful than accupuncture.
She is also a “healer.”
You can check out her website then email her if you like.
She is in Hawaii right now, but will be back this Monday, June 22.
This is your friend Shelly from the BNI Days…..I wanted to speak to you personally and was wondering if you could contact me in the next few days. I am living down the road from you off from High Street.
Shelly
P.S. I will keep my ears open for the doctor you are looking to go on your road trip.
Hey Tellman,
you might want to check with Tom Jones who did a similar thing in 2000, running from California to New York. 120 consecutive days, running a marathon each day and on the final day running the New York Marathon in under 4 hours. You can read about him here: http://adrianarmstrong.mymaxsystem.com/athletes.php
He’s probably got some tips and possibly connections to the kind of Doc you’re looking for.
Looks like you could use EVP!

Chuck Dale of the Run Tellman Run road crew is in Parker, Arizona…
known for its heat and the river…planning the last legs of Tellman’s
barefoot run across America to benefit teenage homelessness. The river is
a welcome relief this time of year…but will it be in December
when Tellman is running through?
Hey it is Chuck…I’m here in Parker, Arizona. Hi!
I am here talking to Danielle, she works here at the Best Western. It is
an awesome hotel. We’ve had much success with Best Western all across the
country, but this has been the best so far because we have Danielle here.
So, tell us what you think about Tellman and his venture across
the country.
Danielle: I think he is crazy to do it barefoot first of all, but it is
a charity so go for it!
Chuck: Are you a runner?
Danielle: Nope. I walk.
Chuck: Do you get many runners coming through here?
Danielle: We do when there is the triathlon through here.
Chuck: Awesome. Tell us about the river
Danielle: There is nothing better than the river. Everybody asks how we
can stand it getting so hot around here…120 degrees all the time…
we’ve got the river!
Chuck: Woo Hoo!
Danielle: Woo Hoo!
Chuck: What river is it?
Danielle: The Colorado River.
Chuck: Awesome. Can you get in there in December?
Danielle: It is going to be cold, but yeah, you can get in there any
time you want.
Chuck: Okay, any other things you want to tell Tellman before he takes
off on his run?
Danielle: No athlete’s foot!
Chuck: Are you going to be here when we get here?
Danielle: I sure hope to be!
Chuck: Did you check out the website?
Danielle: I did! Very cool…very interesting…very cool…check it out!
Chuck: OK, thanks for the interview!
Danielle: No problem, bye!

HEY THAT’S ME! I AM NOW FAMOUS! THANKS DALE. GOOD LUCK TELLMAN. I WILL BE FOLLOWING YOUR PROGRESS AND THINKING ABOUT YOUR POOR FEET.
Success! Most of the crew made it to Santa Monica Pier last night. Libby was
dropped off early in Phoenix so that she could get back to the office. The route
is complete! We’ll be posting some new video as soon as we can, as well as videos
we didn’t have time to upload before.

Hi tellman yes i have had to catch 2 hummingbirds on 2 seperate occassions they were inside of a building and if they get between the pearlings they will not drop down to get past them. They will keep flying until they have hardly any strength. hummingbirds are hard to catch with a cap but it can be done.
The Run Tellman Run crew takes a pie break and are determined they will
stop here again when Tellman is running barefoot across the country to
benefit teenage homelessness with Virgin UniteVirgin Unite charities.
Take care of your knees, please.
