This is a great story, one that I can pull a bunch of positive learning opportunities from, and simply great education.  Check out this abbreviated version from a well known CrossFitter employed by CrossFit Headquarters. FULL STORY HERE CrossFit is Dangerous??? And How It Very Literally Saved My Life. For years I have said that CrossFit has changed my life!  I have said over and over again that it SAVED my life because of how it changed me as a person and brought such a passion back into my days. Well, now I can say it LITERALLY… CROSSFIT SAVED MY LIFE!!! […]

Change.org = controversial.  There are some things that come across this email system that I do not agree with.  But I sometimes  find great value in their efforts.  This is one of those. The timing is SAD, because the BPA restriction happened awhile ago in so many other countries (Canada is one), but  in the USA there was a push back, and so many “experts” came out and said “it is too early to say that BPA is bad”.  I wonder if  the time that was given was just enough to allow the major food companies to get it out […]

article by Kimberly Roberto (West Cobb Chiropractic, Co-Author of Maximized Living Nutrition Plans) Each year, summertime brings fun-filled cookouts, parades and festivals. But just how much danger is lurking in your favorite summer foods? Who doesn’t enjoy a burger fresh off the grill and neighborhood potlucks with jello, potato salad and homemade ice cream? Summer may be known as a time to relax, but if we relax our food awareness too much, we can wind up ruining all of our summer fun. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) recently issued a warning that our (United States) “war” on obesity was […]

It was only a few weeks ago, when one of my patient families was sitting in the hot seats, and I thought “I’m glad they are here, it is always good to get this family adjusted”, and as the kids filtered through, their mother shared with me a tragic story that she was right in the middle of. Her “away at school” daughter (Emily Sue), 20 years old, was in a major accident… this is from her daughter’s care page: Emily is a student at SAIC in Chicago, IL. On Sunday, July 8th, She fell 30 feet and sustained major […]

In the past I have written about the importance of sleep.  The necessity of getting a good nights sleep, and what it does for your health.  Personally, I have always found myself to be one who could function on little sleep, though I do not believe that allows me to reach my greatest health potential.  So at 6-7 hours of sleep a night, I am under what research suggests is wise. Fortunately, I am in a “period” in my life that will come to an end, and I will get more!  I guarantee it.  But for now, I am going […]

From Dr. Eric – we like Natural News, it takes some effort to keep up with all of their articles, but this is a great one, and you should subscribe to their newsletters.  Read it, think about it, get motivated to be active!  God Bless you in your pursuit of knowledge and TRUTH. From Natural News – July 8th (NaturalNews) U.K.-based pharmaceutical giant GlaxoSmithKline (GSK), a corporate “person” in the eyes of the federal government (http://blog.timesunion.com/occupyalbany/corporations-are-people/394/), has pleaded guilty to criminal charges in what even the mainstream media is calling the largest healthcare fraud case in history. And though the […]

What??? Whoever thought they could incorporate spinal hygiene, forest life and personal hygiene all in one post?  Ridiculous I tell you!  Outlandish to say the least.  So lets get to it! The summer is fun, lots of activities… a little crazy, but still fun.  One thing I do not do a lot of during the summer months, is forest bathing.  The term comes from an article that a patient brought to me to read.  Nice read that brings out the value of spending time in the forest (thus bathing in the positive energy, aura and oxygen of the outdoors).  I […]

February 23, 2011 Reprint 07-16-2012 There have been some great studies over the years on Chiropractic and Quality of Life. I stumbled across this reference, and thought about the simple approach to health that we take in the chiropractic health model, and how that simple approach is still the absolute most effective. “A study published in The Journal of Vertebral Subluxation Research in August 2004 shows that a healthy spinal column can improve posture, reduce stress and increases range of motion when performing various exercises. People who undergo regular chiropractic treatment sessions may also take better care of themselves by […]

Many of you know that we do Christmas in July every year.  Not only is it the time that we offer any new patient a chance to be checked for free (we rarely do free, but will offer the $25 special regularly).  We do this so that anyone inside the office can have children checked, and spouses checked without having any reason not too.  But the promotion side for our office is only a small part of why we do Christmas in July. I personally love the music.  Two weeks of nothing but Christmas Music… what an awesome experience in […]

So I am not 100%, but I am close, and I am well enough to adjust anyone and everyone.  So I will!  In the last three months, my business has suffered.  Of course it has, I have been slow to heal, and how do you adjust with a bum shoulder? So, over the coming few weeks, I want to make sure that I help everyone get back on track, and if there is anything that I can help with, that we focus on that. This is important.  Your spinal health is still the most important aspect of your health.  Your […]
