Water Fluoridation

Water Fluoridation by Dr. Mark Richards Most people are aware of the fact that there is fluoride added to our water supply. I would guess most people don’t think much of it, and view it as just one of those things that is there and we just go along with it. I was reading through this article “50 Reasons to Oppose Fluoridation” and it makes you wonder why we still continue this practice. I’ll summarize some of the article. In my opinion the two graphs above are reason enough to not fluoridate our water. They quite obviously show water fluoridation […]

Mumps Outbreak in the NHL

Follow this story from the ABC News desk along with ESPN, read a small portion of the report, then lets discuss what it means – http://abcnews.go.com/Sports/mumps-outbreak-puzzles-nhl/story?id=27568696 The recent outbreak of mumps has emerged as one of the most bizarre yet compelling storylines of the 2014-15 NHL season. Multiple teams have been affected, several players have been sidelined, and meanwhile, we are all left scratching our heads about what exactly it all means. Unless you were permanently scarred from that fateful visit to the doctor’s office as a child and have purged the memory entirely, you might recall the term “mumps” […]

Off the Straight 60

    By Dr. Mark Richards I’ve been off the straight 60 for a few weeks now. Thanksgiving has come and gone. During this time I have not kept the diet, nor have I tried the graduation rules. I have been watching my weight carefully though. So I’ve watched it slowly creep up a bit. Don’t worry, not  much, and I know I will recover it. So what’s my plan from here? I told you before, my plan was to not gain weight through the holidays. So that is still my plan, but since I’ve gained a bit back I […]

Flu Shot Failure

CDC Says Flu Shot is Ineffective! We have shown you year after year how the real experts have slammed the flu vaccine – such as written in this article here – Johns Hopkins Scientist Slams Flu Vaccine; yet this year the vaccine is even more ineffective than ever.  Our recommendation is that you NEVER get a flu shot.  The ultimate effect on your immune system is bad, simply because the ingredients have deleterious long-term effects on the immune system.

More Reason for Correction

If you are patient here at Healthsprout you are well aware that our goal is correction of the spine. You should also know the main reason for this is to allow the brain to communicate with the rest of the body with as little interference as possible. Quick refresher: the brain (most amazing thing in your body by far) controls all function in your body. The brain communicates with the body through the spinal cord and nerves exiting the cord between each vertebrae. Perfectly aligned spine allows for optimal communication between brain and body which equals optimal function. Misalignment, or […]

Toxic Child?

I recently did some testing on a young child; just like we do on an adult, we can send hair samples off and have them tested for toxic metals.  The primary toxins that we are addressing are Aluminum, Lead, Mercury, Cadmium, Uranium and Arsenic.  The test results came back positive for all elements. This is a rare situation.  It is rare that I find an adult with all of these, much less a four year old with all.  I asked my wife about it (names kept private of course), “can you think of where these toxins might come from?”  She […]

A Week of Straight 60

Many times I am asked, “What do you eat on this diet?” My response is usually, “The simplest thing I can.” You see, I don’t cook… Much. I mean, we can conjure up some serious meals, but be aware, this list of daily diet closely mirrors my kids diet too, so simple is in.  They eat grains still when the family is ON the diet, I am Biblical in my approach, so we don’t avoid them completely with the kids, and only for corrective periods with ourselves. But if the whole house eats simple, then life is… simple! I have […]

Sore Sleep

As you head into this fantastic Holiday week of Thanksgiving, you might just find yourself with more time to sleep in than your usual. I already have, and in doing so, re-visited that soreness that I am not so familiar with. Many of you know what I am talking about, some of you have yet to experience this (under 35 you probably haven’t had much of this yet). I am referring to that soreness that accompanies a long night of sleep.  You wake up, realize almost immediately that you slept too long, and everything is sore because of it. First […]

Thanksgiving 2014

I looked back to see what I wrote last year for Thanksgiving, and I decided to simply re-share this.  But I wanted to add one thing.  I have been more thankful this year for God’s commitment to validate my work.  I sometimes share the story of 2008, when we had 300 lifetime prescriptions stopped in our patient base in that one year.  Many times when I share it, I find myself missing the days of a busy HealthSprout.  I know many of you think it is busy today.  But the top days lately, have been 150 adjustments, as compared to […]
