Mitch is WELL again!

I love telling chiropractic stories, so this one is still in development really, but why not give you an early snapshot?  I have been taking care of members of the Fossier family for over 7 years now.  Rick (dad) played hockey with me back when I was still playing.  His sons, Mitch and Zach were little kids back then (teenagers now). Recently Rick moved himself and Mitch up to Detroit for the winter hockey season.  Yeah, I know, sounds kind of weird, but with dad being an ex Yale University and Michigan State hockey player, the sport is deep in this […]

Gluten Free Bad?

I was just watching ABC Nightline, and I am dismayed. I have nothing against gluten, other than it happens to be one of the most inflammatory proteins in existence.  Especially for people who have ANY kind of leaky gut syndrome, and has been shown to be one of the most important proteins removed from the diets of MANY autistic individuals around the country.  I still eat gluten, not much, but I do. So where this moment of rage is coming from, is the “Expert” that they chose to speak about the dangers of a gluten free diet, was clearly an […]

A Medical Professor Reviews the System

This is an interview excerpt by Discover Magazine with Nortin Hadler M.D, a professor of medicine at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The full interview can be found here: http://discovermagazine.com/2005/jun/discover-dialogue Bypass surgery belongs in the medical archives . . . No Western European nation has as high a rate of bypass surgery and angioplasty as we do—and they live longer Under what circumstances do you think bypass surgery is appropriate? H: None. I think bypass surgery belongs in the medical archives. There are only two reasons you’d ever want to do it: one, to save lives, the […]

Organic or Natural?

The dilemma should have part 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 etc… but for now I will just focus on the poultry dilemma.  So first off, let’s consider chicken.  In our pursuit of the healthiest possible foods to eat, we should eat organic first whenever we can.  When it comes to produce, be sure to follow the dirty dozen guidelines as your first choice in organic.  So why is organic different than “All Natural”?  Well, sadly all natural really means nothing according to this Doctor’s research on the USDA, and the USDA guidelines are what matter.  If the term all natural […]

Common pain meds can put you in a world of hurt

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/37341523/ns/health-pain_center/ A few hours later, doctors diagnosed the problem — rhabdomyolysis, a potentially fatal precursor to kidney failure. Though dehydration and overexertion contributed to Ehret’s condition, doctors told her that the 12 ibuprofen pills she’d taken during the 24-hour race had pushed her kidneys into the danger zone. When used properly, over-the-counter pain medications can be a godsend. Acetaminophen (Tylenol) can tame many pains. And non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like ibuprofen, aspirin, and naproxen can reduce pain and swelling in the first few days following an acute injury like an ankle sprain. The trouble comes, doctors say, when people, like […]

LEPTIN!!!

LEPTIN!!! So Leptin is a BIG deal.  I was reading a formal paper on leptin this evening, and it just blew me away to see the number of receptors that are somehow influenced by Leptin.  When reading about purchasing leptin lab tests for use in a clinic (I cannot, because in GA a chiropractor cannot draw blood), the selling point is to test every infertile person you come across for LEPTIN! Beyond that, there was this piece… In male mice, it blunted the starvation-induced marked decline of LH, testosterone, thyroxine and the increase of ACTH and corticosterone. In female mice, […]

Teachers Sick Over Shots!

I am reporting “hearsay”, but I believe we will find that it is very substantial in the near future, so I am reporting it now!  Teachers at Hasty Elementary and Avery Elementary were visited by the Health Department last Thursday, as they provided shots for the teachers.  Currently the reports are that EVERY one of the teachers who received the pneumonia shot, were seriously ill afterwards. I know of one teacher who blacked out in the shower, and woke up in a pool of vomit.  The side effects of a bad batch of vaccine are worse than the side effects […]

Cancer is a Preventable Disease

A new research paper entitled: Cancer is a Preventable Disease that Requires Major Lifestyle Changes – is an extremely valuable piece of medical research, from very recent times.  Published in the Journal Pharmaceutical Research, it has all the clout of any other modern piece of research, and it completely echoes what we have been yelling for years! http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2515569/ The gist of this article (and I highly advise that you read the whole thing), is that cancer is more tied to your lifestyle than anything else, with only 5-10% of all cancers having a predicated genetic component!  That is huge, even […]

When Drugs Cause Problems They Are Supposed to Prevent

The following article is available at NY Times’ web site, the link is below the image.  We recommend you visit that site to see the additional links that are available there, and to read the full article.  We have been preaching this for years, and the chiropractors before us… for years before us!  Trusting science to have uncovered the full depth of any chemical, is risky, because history has proven it will fail us.  Margarine becomes the best source of fat, then years later we find that the TRANS fats that margarine was built upon are deadly.  Drug, after drug, […]

Be MADLY In Love!!!

Love. It is the thing that this life is built upon.  Christ spoke so often about love, and said of the commandments to the pharisees, loving God is the greatest and loving your neighbor as yourself is next (paraphrase).  I believe that He was saying a little more than, “God wants you to love Him”.  I believe He was also saying, “the key to a happy life, is love”! PASSION, is part of an enlightened life.  Passion is what takes you from sleepy and tired as you wake up in the AM, to wildy excited for your day, whistling to […]
