Homeopathy, Lasers, Allergies and the BAX3000

times-square-ny — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 18:08:01 +0000

According to The National Center of Complimentary and Alternative Medicine(NCCAM), homeopathy is based on “the principle of similars (or "like cures like") The principle states that a disease can be cured by a substance that produces similar symptoms in healthy people.” If you expose a person to a high dose of a substance and they negatively react, exposing the same person to an extremely low dose will alleviate their symptoms. Homeopathy is the largest complimentary health care system in Europe and the largest health care system in India. Although homeopathy is used to treat a wide range of ailments, one of its more popular uses in the United States is for the treatment of allergies. The developers of the BAX3000 created a machine that combines the technology of homeopathy, lasers, acupuncture, classical conditioning, and energy medicine to reduce body stress and common stress related conditions such as allergies. The digital energy signature(vibration) of an allergen(substance that causes an allergic reaction) is created and transformed into a series of laser pulses. The laser pulses are then passed over several acupuncture points and meridians exposing the body to a low homeopathic dose of an allergen. Furthermore, the infra-red laser light causes the release of endorphins. The low dose allergen exposure and our body’s reaction to the infra-red laser light reduce stress and the allergic symptoms by a painless, non-drug means. Classical conditioning dissociates the allergen to stress and then associates the endorphin release caused by the infra-red laser light with the allergen. Your body is then reprogrammed. The potential of this new technology is enormous and exciting. The technology honors the research and achievements of the developers of homeopathy, energy medicine, acupuncture, classical conditioning, and chiropractic, and merges these health care disciplines and techniques with 21 century technology.

Relief From Allergy and Asthma Symptoms

east-centennial-co — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 15:15:19 +0000

Tired of living with allergy symptoms?

Here’s how to find out exactly what your body can’t tolerate – and relieve your symptoms once and for all.

An estimated 50 million Americans (1 in 5) suffer from all types of allergies including indoor/outdoor, food & drug, latex, insect, skin and eye allergies. Allergy prevalence overall has doubled since the early 1980s. Allergy is the 5th leading chronic disease in the U.S. among all ages, and the 3rd most common chronic disease among children under 18 years old. In fact, 1 in 17 children under the age of three has a food allergy. Unfortunately, these statistics are getting worse - not better.

But there is hope—and relief.

By adding to his office what some are describing as a modern medical miracle, Craig Burns, D.C., can now dramatically reduce—and in many cases permanently eliminate—any reaction to any known allergen that you might be experiencing. This past September he purchased the FDA-approved BAX-3000 Laser Allergy System to include among the wellness offerings at his Maximized Health Allergy Relief Center in Centennial. Since then he’s treated more than 100 patients with allergies, and, he reports, not one has since complained of having symptoms or reactions. “I have done a tremendous amount of research on the results that stem from this device,” Dr. Burns says. “The things that it can do are astonishing. There is a big misconception out there regarding the origins of most allergies. People don’t realize that they’re ingesting large amounts of chemicals through milk, meat, eggs, as well as, hair and skin products. In fact, most of our toxicity begins in the soil our foods are grown in. This exposure throws our bodies out of whack. The result is that many allergy symptoms stem from inadvertently over-indulging in chemicals.” But, he’s quick to point out, there are many people legitimately suffering from allergies to certain items.

The BAX-3000 takes on both causes.

Here’s how it works: First, a quick, noninvasive, painless scan is performed to discover exactly what you’re allergic too—and it’s often not what you think. “You may believe that you’re allergic to cats when in fact you’re allergic to cat urine,” Dr. Burns explains. “Or you think seasonal allergies have taken hold, when in reality it’s lawn chemicals.” Treatments are done in stages and each takes about five minutes. They’re painless and are performed using a Class II laser and frequency. “We can only treat one allergen per session, so the number of treatments depends on the number of things that show up on your test,” he says. The BAX-3000 identifies the allergen in your body (cats, for example) and then exposes the body to that allergen while at the same time neutralizing it. The result is something Dr. Burns calls “reprogramming,” which means the body has been permanently reprogrammed to think that the once offending allergen is no longer a threat. Most patients notice a dramatic improvement after just one visit and treatment is safe for everyone, regardless of age. Ultimately, we strive to minimize your symptoms. “It used to be that to isolate the body’s reaction to certain allergens; a scratch test had to be performed. Hundreds of tiny scratch marks were made on the body and each was exposed to a product to test for a reaction,” he grimaces. “Can you imagine having to do that to a child? With the BAX-3000, there is no blood drawn and there are no scratch tests. In fact, nothing even touches the skin during treatment. It’s completely painless and it works.” But perhaps more thrilling, he says, is that the BAX-3000 can also address the symptoms of asthma, autism, ADD, Asperger’s, irritable bowel, hormonal issues, digestive problems and various skin conditions. “I’ve had tremendous success treating patients with fibromyalgia as it relates to food allergies,” he comments.

“The goal is to dramatically improve your tolerance to the things you’re allergic to.”

“It is very uncommon to have to repeat a procedure,” he says. Patients find they no longer need allergy shots and there is no follow-up required once treatment has been completed.

“Most patients notice a dramatic improvement after just one visit and treatment is safe for everyone, regardless of age.”

Hope For Milk Allergy Sufferers

east-centennial-co — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 11:14:04 +0000

According to the Mayo Clinic, milk allergy is one of the most common food allergies in children. Although cow's milk is the usual cause of milk allergy, milk from sheep, goats and buffalo also can cause a reaction. And, some children who are allergic to cow's milk are allergic to soy milk too. The Mayo Clinic continues explaining that a milk allergy usually occurs a few minutes to a few hours after you consume milk (IgG reaction). Signs and symptoms of milk allergy range from mild to severe and can include wheezing, vomiting, hives and digestive problems. Rarely, milk allergy can cause anaphylaxis — a severe, life-threatening reaction. It is interesting to note that milk allergies can be caused by more than just the milk. Many components in cow's milk and related substances such as sheep, goat, and even buffalo milk can cause a hypersensistvity reaction. Be sure that you and your family are clear of these hypersensitivies using the BAX 300 techniligy. This can lead to a more healthy robust life!

Lactose Intolerance people finding relief without medication

doraville-ga — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 15:44:18 +0000

I have a 17 year old female patient that is lactose intolerant. For the last 10 years when she eats any dairy products such as whole milk, any sort of cheeses, she immediately has to run to the bathroom doubled over in pain with severe diarrhea on and off all day. After treating her with the BAX3000 machine from Bioveda wellness center of doraville Georgia, she has been able to eat pizza and have cereal in the morning with milk without any symptoms of stomach pain or diarrhea. She is so excited that after only 3 treatments she actually saw these results. She understands that she has other sensitivities that are stressing her nervous system and that by finishing the rest of her treatments she is on her way to a better life without medication or painful symptoms that come with this debilitating disease. If you have a friend or loved one that is lactose intolerant, let them know about the Bax3000 machine and biovedawellness centers.

Chiropractic Included At Vancouver Winter Olympic Games

BioVeda of Richardson, TX — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 15:12:24 +0000

For the first time in the history of the Olympic Games, the 2010 Winter Games in Vancouver, Canada, include chiropractic care inside the Olympic Village Polyclinic, a multi-disciplinary facility offering comprehensive healthcare and medical services. While DCs have historically been included on the Olympic medical staff, this year’s events mark the first time that DCs from the host country will be treating athletes and officials from around the world directly inside the Polyclinic. “This is an historic event not only for the chiropractic profession, but also the athletes who will now have access to the care that will help them prepare their bodies for competition,” states Michael Reed, DC, MS, DACBSP, and team USA’s medical director (USOC). “These athletes train hard and endure significant physical demands. Sports-focused DCs, along with other members of the sports medicine team, are specially skilled to assist them in reaching peak performance.” Chiropractic care has experienced several major moments in Olympic history, dating back to Leroy Perry, DC, who provided chiropractic care to athletes representing Antigua during the 1976 Games in Montreal, Canada. During the 1980 Winter Olympic Games in Lake Placid, NY, George Goodheart, DC, became the first official chiropractor appointed to the U.S. team. With each subsequent Olympic Games and Pan American Games, the U.S. teams — along with a growing number of other national teams — have included at least one doctor of chiropractic on their medical staff. “Inclusion inside the Polyclinic is another major milestone for the chiropractic profession, and we are grateful to the host city of Vancouver, the head of medical services at the Polyclinic, Jack Taunton, MD, and to Robert Armitage, DC, who helped make this possible,” says USOC Director of Sports Medicine Clinics, Bill Moreau, DC, DACBSP.

Fibromyalgia, Stress Reduction, BAX 3000 link...

Dr. Jeremy Johnson — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 20:12:33 +0000

Chronic pain, problems sleeping, extreme fatigue, digestive problems (irritable bowel syndrome), anxiety, depression.... Does this sound like you or someone you love? Fibromyalgia affects million of Americans each, the majority of which are women. This condition can be both physically and emotionally distressing to the person suffering with the condition as well as the family. The exact cause is unknown but evidence has shown the following factors may contribute to Fibromyalgia:

chronic pain may be associated with abnormalities in the endocrine system and the autonomic nervous system.
Physical or emotional stress or trauma
Genetics may be a factor since Fibromyalgia tends to run in families
Musculoskeletal pain may be caused by the central nervous system being sensitized - which increases the amount of pain felt

It is quite possible that there is no ONE cause but several factors that may influence the possibility of developing Fibromyalgia. Studies have shown that alternative treatments such as biofeedback helps reduce stress on the nervous system resulting in decreased or elimination of symptoms. The BAX 3000 (also known as Neurological Stress Relaxation Therapy) exposes the person to various substances and then measures the stress levels. Cold laser therapy is then used to reprogram the autonomic nervous system to respond to stressors in a positive manner. Patients treated with the BAX 3000 have reported reduced or elimination of symptoms following treatments. Stress affects our lives in so many ways. The BAX 3000 is based on the fact that stress causes health-related conditions or worsens them. A dysfunction in the autonomic nervous system, that is activated by stress, causes excessive hormones to be released. These hormones sensitize pain receptors, causing increased pain and tenderness. Pain is a stressor all by itself; however, other stressors worsen fibromyalgia. The goal of the BAX 3000 is to measure the body's reaction to different stressors and then to reduce or eliminate the stress on the autonomic nervous system. Resulting in a reduction of pain. Dr. Jeremy Johnson at Back To Health Family Chiropractic in Spring Hill, TN has added the BAX 3000 to the menu of services offered.. Call today at 931-489-5979 to schedule an appointment. The BAX 3000 is here and available to help you.

Chiropractic Care Helps Fibromyalgia Patient - BioVeda of Richardson Reports

Bioveda Wellness Administrator — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 19:11:21 +0000

- by Dr. Ray Nannis, BioVeda Health and Wellness Center of Richardson, TX

Chiropractic care is often thought of only in terms of relief from a back or neck injury, perhaps suffered in an auto accident or in lifting a too-heavy weight improperly. But the plain truth is that case studies suggest many different health problems may respond to a regular program of chiropractic care. According to a recent case study, the condition known as fibromyalgia, a neurological disorder characterized by pain and a lack of coordination in muscle movements, was resolved following a regimen of chiropractic adjustments.

“There are certainly no guarantees with any course of care,” said Dr. Ray Nannis, a Richardson-based chiropractor who strives to keep current with the latest research and developments in health and wellness. “And every case depends on the specific factors associated with that case. But we see, from time to time, individual case studies that give rise to hope for many.”

Dr. Curtis Fedorchuk, the Georgia chiropractor who conducted the study, says fibromyalgia is a widespread pain syndrome of unknown cause affecting an estimated 1% to 4% of the U.S. population. It is diagnosed based on two factors being present: (1) pain lasting more than 3 months in multiple upper and lower body locations; and (2) pain created by applying less than 4 kilograms of pressure to 11 of 18 trigger points in the body.

“Common symptoms include persistent fatigue, problems with sleeping, and depression,” said Dr. Nannis, “and women are 10-20 times more likely to be affected than men.”

The 40-year old female in this particular case had been experiencing fibromyalgia symptoms for eight years and had been taking both prescription and non-prescription medications, with little success in treating the problem or its symptoms. The patient underwent a thorough chiropractic exam, and a trans-neuronal dysfunction to the right cerebellum was noted and a diagnosis made. Subluxations were also noted as a result of the examination.

“A subluxation is a misalignment of the spine that disturbs normal nervous system function,” said Dr. Nannis. “Many chiropractors, including myself, have non-intrusive technology allowing them to conduct Surface Electromyography (sEMG) and thermal imaging tests to assist in locating where such conditions exist.”

According to the case study, reported last fall in the Journal of Vertebral Subluxation Research,

This patient received chiropractic care for . . . nine months. Objective, reliable, and valid findings of subluxation reduction were demonstrated through radiographic analysis, sEMG, and thermography readings. This patient’s reduction in subluxations correlated with increased quality of life in seven of eight measured domains of wellness . . . . This patient also experienced reduction in her fibromyalgia-related symptoms of widespread pain, fatigue, depression, and headaches.

“This is just one case study,” Dr. Nannis emphasized, “and more studies are needed before any absolute conclusions can be drawn. But as chiropractors, we believe that the nervous system is the master-controller of the systems and functions of the human body. It stands to reason, then, that improvement in nervous system function, which is what we do as chiropractors, can have a beneficial effect on overall health.”

Chiropractic Care Helps Fibromyalgia Patient

Health Care Policy Reform vs Patient Diet Reform

Bioveda Wellness Administrator — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 00:32:26 +0000

- by Dr. Corey Kirshner, BioVeda Health and Wellness Center of Allentown, PA

The following letter was sent in response to a local newspaper article supporting health insurance reform.

Doesn’t Matter Which Health-Insurance Program is Passed. This is a response to Joel Mitton’s article in Wednesday, March 3, 2010 Morning Call edition.

To recap his article, he makes the argument on why we should pass health care reform now. His reasoning is that the only beneficiaries of not passing the bill are the insurance companies. He goes on to state that the US economy spent 17% on our healthcare and that the next closest countries in health care spending is Switzerland, France, Germany, Canada and Great Britain. What his article fails to to recognize is why we’re spending a significant portion of our economy on healthcare. His argument is from a shortsighted straight economic viewpoint. An interesting comparison between the countries mentioned would yield some interesting information.

Currently 10% of health-care expenditures are on obesity and obesity related diseases. In a comparison of 34 countries, the United States is 33rd in juvenile obesity with 25% considered pre-obese and 7% obese. The rest of the countries mentioned in his article ranks from the best which is Switzerland at 9% obese 2% pre-obese to the worst which is Canada at a 15% obese and 4% pre-obese. Currently United States spends 10% of its health-care dollars on obesity and obesity related issues. It estimated that by the year 2018 that number will jump to 20%. These estimates are based only on obesity and its complications such as diabetes, heart disease and other cardiovascular problems. These estimate are not based on those lifestyle choices that lead to obesity. If you start to add up the cost of the lifestyle choices that lead to obesity, and those related health issues the total health cost escalates.

To solve any problem you first need to clearly state what the problem is. The problem discussing national healthcare is first to realize we do not have a health-care system. We have a disease care system. Nowhere in the discussion of health-care reform, on both the Democrat and Republican side, is the root cause of many of our healthcare problems ever discussed. Necessity is the mother of invention. It is out of necessity resulting from our poor health choices that the “invention” of our current healthcare/disease care system has developed.

A case in my office a month ago illustrates on a microcosm level the problems we have in our current healthcare/disease care delivery system. A woman came into the office complaining of fatigue, inability to sleep, weight gain, inability to lose weight, and constipation. Any healthcare provider reading this list of symptoms would start to formulate certain ideas about what was wrong with this individual. Her medical doctor ordered bloodwork, the gastroenterologists performed a G.I. scope, the endocrinologist performed more bloodwork, and rheumatologist perform additional work. The team of physicians were trying to rule out cancer, thyroid problems, G.I. problems, arthritic problems. After all the test came back inconclusive she was referred to a psychiatrist because it was deemed her problems must be in her head.

On her first visit into this office she was asked for a diet diary. She broke down in tears as she was asked for this. She related to me that none of her other physicians ever asked her this. None of her physicians asked her how she was fueling herself. How was it possible for her to improve her health if she continued to fuel herself with junk.

What this one case illustrates is a number of problems we have in the whole health care\disease care system. It begins with the patient who has no clue, or has not been educated on what constitutes a healthy lifestyle and continue to make poor health choices. This continues with the doctors looking to label conditions in order to have a billable diagnosis. Add to this the marketing done by pharmaceutical companies to convince us we have the disease that their drug can fix. Nowhere along this line is health care ever discussed. The only discussion is disease care.

Going back to Mr. Blake’s article, frankly it doesn’t matter which health-care package we go with. If we keep on making the choices of consuming harmful obesity creating foods, and keep on raising our children on unhappy meals of french fries we will continue to feed our Disease Care Model. We as a nation have been making terrible choices. When the top three products consumed are sugar, tobacco and alcohol and we keep dumping these into our bodies we will continue to look for that elusive combination of medications to make us feel better. As long as we continue to believe the myth that help comes from a pill or a drug then the inevitable financial escalation will continue to occur. I hold no hope on a health-insurance bill based on personal responsibility. The the only choice we are left with is taking personal responsibility for our own health. I will continue to educate those who are willing to take responsibility for their health. I have the illusion that if enough of us will are willing to make the proper choices. If we don’t start making better choices in our own personal health collectively, our healthcare expenditures will continue to skyrocket.e can make a difference. As a side note the patient mentioned in this article, after changing her diet and adding a few inexpensive supplements, no longer had the symptoms which caused her to seek help.

A connection between stress and allergies: Nerve Growth Factor

times-square-ny — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 22:32:44 +0000

Emotional stress is known to increase the severity of an allergic reaction. Until recently, we did not know the reason. According to a May 19, 2000 paper published at John’s Hopkins University “scientists have discovered, to their surprise, that a nervous protein may have a significant role in asthma, hay fever and other allergies.” The protein, Nerve Growth factor(NGF) , is an internally synthesized substance that causes the nervous system to proliferate hypersensitive nerve endings and produce an inflammatory chemical called Substance P. Substance P causes increased pain, smooth muscle contractions, acute inflammation and modulates the production of antibodies associated with allergies. During times of stress, the brain instructs the fight/flight portion of its nervous system(sympathetic nervous system) to produce more nerve growth factor causing nerve endings to be hypersensitive and increasing the susceptibility and severity of an allergic reaction to occur if an antigen is present. An allergen causes the body to invoke a stress response. The BAX3000 works by disassociating our body’s stress response to a known allergen.

13-Year old boy was headache sufferer for four years

BioVeda of Richardson, TX — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 21:05:32 +0000

Chiropractic Care Offers Benefits Beyond Easing Neck and Back Pain March 8, 2010, Richardson, TX. According to a case study published late last fall in the Journal of Pediatric, Maternal & Family Health, a course of chiropractic care was successful in completely eliminating headaches a 13-year old male patient had been experiencing at least five hours a day for four years. “Headaches are a common disorder affecting two-thirds of the world’s population,” said Richardson-based Dr. Ray Nannis, D.C., “but we are still in the dark about all the causal factors and, in many instances, the most effective treatment options, which often depend on the mechanics of the specific type of headache presented. Experts have recognized 14 distinct types of headache.” This particular case study concerns what is know as a cervicogenic headache, likely caused by poor joint function impacting the cervical spine and causing a malfunction of the nervous system. This type of headache presents symptoms such as “recurrent moderate to severe headaches arising from the neck . . . .” The cervical spine most often shows reduced range of motion, which causes pain spikes with certain movements of the head and neck. The initial chiropractic examination of the patient involved in this case study noted problems with posture and range of motion, along with “subluxations” in the thoracic and cervical spine. “A subluxation is a misalignment of the spine that disturbs normal nervous system function,” said Dr. Ray Nannis. “Many chiropractors, including myself, have special, non-intrusive technology that allows them to conduct thermal and Surface Electromyography (sEMG) tests to assist in locating where such conditions exist. Because we know that the nervous system is the master controller of almost all bodily functions,” Dr. Ray Nannis continued, “we are not surprised when improvement of nervous system function contributes greatly to normal bodily function in a wide variety of areas.” After just six weeks of chiropractic care, the patient’s posture and range of motion improved significantly. More important to the young man, he was headache free for the first time in four years. “There are certainly no guarantees with any course of care,” said Dr. Nannis, who strives to keep current with the latest research and developments in health and wellness. “And every case depends on the specific factors associated with that case. More research is needed, but we see, from time to time, individual case studies that give rise to hope for many.” Editor’s note: Anyone wishing more information may contact Dr. Ray Nannis, whose office is located at 1600 North Plano Rd.

Another Vitamin D Study

allentownpa — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 20:45:12 +0000

The following study is another confirmation on the importance of Vitamin D. The one problem I have with the article is as the end they indicate how much Vitamin D is needed. The only way to know how much Vitamin D is needed is by testing. In my own practice, I have found about 80% of my patient's are Vitamin D deficient. This is needed in any immune and autoimmune condition such as allergies. I have seen cases dramatically turn around with this one nutrient. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/35762978/ns/health-diet_and_nutrition/

Allergy Treatment Inspires Bay Area Doctor to Change Lives - What is his personal story?

BioVeda of San Ramon — Sat, 06 Mar 2010 18:35:47 +0000

[caption id="attachment_163" align="aligncenter" width="300" caption="This anti MSG neon sign commonly hangs in restaurants around the nation making a bold statement, "we do NOT use MSG"."][/caption] Living as a victim of allergies is not what nature intended. How was it that Waterman Chiropractic and Allergy Relief Center got involved with treating allergies? Dr. Waterman used to suffer from an allergy to the controversial flavor enhancer and preservative MSG. This substance is in many processed foods like canned foods, spices, chips, and Chinese cuisine. Dr. Waterman's allergy progressed as time went on, getting worse and worse. Eventually, his tongue and throat would swell becoming life threatening. Dr. Waterman had no choice but to inject himself with epinephrine to counteract the reaction. Dr. Waterman was first introduced to allergy elimination about 16 years ago through a technique called N.A.E.T. This method completely eliminated his allergy to MSG. He specifically remembers sitting down after his treatment with an MSG covered food and was able to take a bite with NO REACTION! He was now back in control of his life and was no longer a victim. Being so intrigued by his life changing experience with allergy elimination, Dr. Waterman has devoted his life to change yours as well. What would your life be like without allergies? At Waterman Chiropractic and Allergy Center, Dr. Waterman has been successfully using the Bax 3000 that uses a painless computer laser to eliminate reactions to foods, medications, and environmental substances. Waterman Chiropractic and Allergy/Migraine Relief Center has been serving the San Ramon, Danville, Alamo, Walnut Creek and Dublin area for the last 30 years. Within the last two years Dr. Waterman and his associates have been providing relief for those who suffer from migraines, food allergies, seasonal allergies, peanut allergies, pet allergies, dog allergies, cat allergies, eczema, rosacia, IBS, celiac disease, colitis, shingles, ADD, ADHD, Autism, Asthma, ASPERGER’s with the bioveda allergy technology.

In a comparison of 34 countries, the United States is 33rd in juvenile obesity with 25% considered pre-obese and 7% obese. The rest of the countries mentioned in his article ranks from the best which is Switzerland at 9% obese 2% pre-obese to the worst which is Canada at a 15% obese and 4% pre-obese. Currently United States spends 10% of its health-care dollars on obesity and obesity related issues. It estimated that by the year 2018 that number will jump to 20%. These estimates are based only on obesity and its complications such as diabetes, heart disease and other cardiovascular problems. These estimate are not based on those lifestyle choices that lead to obesity. If you start to add up the cost of the lifestyle choices that lead to obesity, and those related health issues the totol health cost escalates. To solve any problem you first need to clearly state what the problem is. The problem discussing national healthcare is first to realize we do not have a health-care system. We have a disease care system. Nowhere in the discussion of health-care reform, on both the Democrat and Republican side, is the root cause of many of our healthcare problems ever discussed. Necessity is the mother of invention. It is out of necessity resulting from our poor health choices that the "invention" of our current healthcare/disease care system has developed. A case in my office a month ago illustrates on a microcosm level the problems we have in our current healthcare/disease care delivery system. A woman came into the office complaining of fatigue, inability to sleep, weight gain, inability to lose weight, and constipation. Any healthcare provider reading this list of symptoms would start to formulate certain ideas about what was wrong with this individual. Her medical doctor ordered bloodwork, the gastroenterologists performed a G.I. scope, the endocrinologist performed more bloodwork, and rheumatologist perform additional work. The team of physicians were trying to rule out cancer, thyroid problems, G.I. problems, arthritic problems. After all the test came back inconclusive she was referred to a psychiatrist because it was deemed her problems must be in her head. On her first visit into this office she was asked for a diet diary. She broke down in tears as she was asked for this. She related to me that none of her other physicians ever asked her this. None of her physicians asked her how she was fueling herslf. How was it possible for her to improve her health if she continued to fuel herself with junk. What this one case illustrates is a number of problems we have in the whole health care\disease care system. It begins with the patient who has no clue, or has not been educated on what constitutes a healthy lifestyle and continue to make poor health choices. This continues with the doctors looking to label conditions in order to have a billable diagnosis. Add to this the marketing done by pharmaceutical companies to convince us we have the disease that their drug can fix. Nowhere along this line is health care ever discussed. The only discussion is disease care. Going back to Mr. Blake's article, frankly it doesn't matter which health-care package we go with. If we don't start making better choices in our own personal health collectively, our healthcare expenditures will continue to skyrocket. If we keep on making the choices of consuming harmful obesity creating foods, and keep on raising our children on unhappy meals of french fries we will continue to feed our Disease Care Model. We as a nation have been making terrible choices. When the top three products consumed are sugar, tobacco and alcohol and we keep dumping these into our bodies we will continue to look for that elusive combinations of medications to make us feel better. As long as we continue to believe the myth that help comes from a pill or a drug then the inevitable financial escalation will continue to occur. I hold no hope on a health-insurance bill based on personal responsibility. The the only choice we are left with is taking personal responsibility for our own health. I will continue to educate those who are willing to take responsibility for their health. I have the illusion that if enough of us will are willing to make the proper choices we can make a difference. As a sidenote the patient mentioned in this article, after changing her diet and adding a few inexpensive supplements, no longer had the symptoms which caused you to seek help.

Allergy Relief Without Needles Or Pills?

times-square-ny — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 17:32:57 +0000

A story by Stephany Fisher, CBS Atlanta Anchor, posted 3:24 pm, EDT September 22, 2009 claims that a new device with the strange name of BAX3000 is peaking interest in Georgia. The BAX3000 is able to identify substances that stress your nervous system leading to possible sneezing, watery eyes, coughing, and wheezing. After the BAX3000 identifies the possible allergens, a red cold laser light blinking at the frequency of the allergen is passed over acupuncture meridians. The red laser deprograms the nervous system stress response. This severely blunts an allergic reaction from occurring. People who were previously negatively affected by allergens have now found relief through a non-drug, non-traumatic way.

What's The Dish on Fish...Oil?

BioVeda of Bethlehem — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 13:29:27 +0000

What are Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs), and why are they important? Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids constitute the two families of EFA’s. EFA’s are considered "essential" because they are needed throughout the human life cycle, cannot be manufactured in the human body, and therefore they must be obtained through our diet on a daily basis for optimal health and wellness. The body must receive a constant and balanced supply of EFAs to ensure proper prostaglandin production. Prostaglandins are beneficial hormone-like compounds that affect virtually every system in the body. They regulate pain and swelling, help maintain proper blood pressure and cholesterol levels, and promote fluidity in nerve transmission. Good fats vs. Bad fats? The "bad" fats are trans-fatty acids and saturated fats from animal products. Trans-fatty acids should be avoided completely; this includes margarine, shortening, and processed foods. Meat and dairy products contain high levels of saturated fat, and should be eaten in moderation. The "good" fats include polyunsaturated Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs). EFAs are considered "essential" because they are needed throughout the human life cycle, cannot be produced in the human body, and therefore must be provided through the diet. Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids constitute the two families of essential fatty acids. Omega-6 fatty acids include corn, soybean, safflower, and sunflower oil. While it is important that your diet include both of these essential fatty acids, it is becoming clear that balance is the key to good health. Benefits of Fish Oil 1. Less Pain and Inflammation. Omega 3 fatty acids, particularly EPA, have a very positive effect on your inflammatory response. Through several mechanisms, they regulate your body's inflammation cycle, which prevents and relieves painful conditions like arthritis, prostatitis, cystitis and anything else ending in "itis." 2. Cardiovascular Health. Omega 3 fatty acids have also been proven to work wonders for your heart and the miles and miles of arteries and veins that make up your cardiovascular system. They help to lower cholesterol, triglycerides, LDLs and blood pressure, while at the same time increasing good HDL cholesterol. This adds years to your life expectancy. 3. Protection from Stroke and Heart Attack. When plaque builds up on arterial walls and then breaks loose, it causes what's known as a thrombosis, which is a fancy way of saying clot. If a clot gets stuck in the brain, it causes a stroke and when it plugs an artery, it causes a heart attack. Research shows omega 3 fatty acids break up clots before they can cause any damage. 4. Better Brain Function and Higher Intelligence. Pregnant and nursing mothers can have a great impact on the intelligence and happiness of their babies by supplementing with fish oil. For adults, omega 3 improves memory, recall, reasoning and focus. You'll swear you're getting younger and smarter. 5. Less Depression and Psychosis. Making you smarter is not all omega 3 does for your brain. Psychiatry department researchers at the University of Sheffield, along with many other research studies, found that omega 3 fish oil supplements "alleviate" the symptoms of depression, bipolar and psychosis(Journal of Affective Disorder Vol. 48(2-3);149-55). 6. Lower Incidence of Childhood Disorders. Just to show how fish oil fatty acids leave nobody out, studies show that children (and adults) with ADD and ADHD experience a greatly improved quality of life. And those with dyslexia, dyspraxia and compulsive disorders have gotten a new lease on life thanks to omega 3 oils. 7. Reduction of Breast, Colon and Prostate Cancer. And finally, omega 3 fish oil has been shown to help prevent three of the most common forms of cancer - breast, colon and prostate. Science tells us that omega 3s accomplish this in three ways. They stop the alteration from a normal healthy cell to a cancerous mass, inhibiting unwanted cellular growth and causing apoptosis, or cellular death, of cancer cells. What are early signs of EFA deficiency? • Fatigue • Poor memory • Immune weakness • Dry skin, eczema, or hair loss • Heart problems • Reproductive problems (men and women) • Mood swings or depression • Poor circulation Where can I get a direct source of EFAs ? Omega-3 fatty acids, EPA and DHA, are found in cold water fish such as sardines, mackerel, anchovies, and cod liver. GLA, an Omega-6 fatty acid, is abundant in borage and evening primrose oils. What’s the difference between fish oil and flax seed oil? Omega-3 fatty acids fall into two major categories: plant derived (flax seed oil, yielding alpha linolenic acid, or ALA) or marine derived (fish oil, yielding both EPA and DHA). The human conversion of ALA to EPA and DHA is somewhat slow and can be inhibited by various conditions such as a diet high in linoleic acid (Omega-6), trans-fatty acids such as fast foods and baked goods, alcohol intake, certain health conditions, and vitamin and mineral deficiencies (B3, B6, C, zinc, magnesium). Fish, on the other hand, is a direct source of EPA and DHA. The general consensus is that only about 15% of ALA converts to EPA, and it may not convert to DHA at all. How soon will I see results? It will vary depending on the concentration of the fish oil, your current nutritional state, dosage, and current health. We often will hear that our customers "feel better" and experience "clearer thinking" and "an enhanced well being" within 2 weeks. For better results, we recommend you take EFAs daily for at least two months to evaluate their benefits, and reduce your intake of hydrogenated and trans-fats. Are there any side effects? Generally, none. Consumers typically report having more energy and greater mental clarity while taking EFAs. If you experience repeat (burping) or a bad taste, your supplement may be rancid (oxidized) or your body may not be manufacturing enough lipase, the digestive enzyme our bodies make to digest fats and oils. If you haven't ingested fish oils for a long time, it might take a week or so for your body to adjust and make more of this enzyme. Is it safe to take EFAs derived from fish? I’ve heard that fish oil contains mercury and other environmental toxins. Fish oils may contain environmental toxins that accumulate in a fish during its life span. Potential toxins can be virtually eliminated given the use of high quality raw materials, and a technologically advanced refining process utilizing the very latest distillation technologies. You must make sure your fish oil is molecularly distilled, this is a process that utilizes a leading edge enzymatic process where any potential heavy metals and dioxins are removed. Third-party testing documents the complete absence of heavy metals and dioxins (where heavy metals are tested down to 25 particles per billion and dioxins down to 0.5 particles per trillion). What should I look for when purchasing fish oil?

Investigate the manufacturing process. How is the fish oil manufactured, and what are the manufacturing standards?
Smell. Does the fish oil smell fishy? If it smells fishy, the fish oil has most likely been exposed to oxygen and is becoming rancid.
Taste. Does the fish oil taste fishy? The freshest fish oils should not taste fishy. Avoid fish oils that have really strong fruit flavor added to them because they are most likely trying to hide the fishy flavor of rancid oil.

In our clinic we carry Nordic Natural products. Based on my research Nordic Naturals the purest and highest quality fish oils. To get more information on Nordic Natural products go to www.nordicnaturals.com

Another Questionable Drug Under Attack – Avandia

BioVeda of Richardson, TX — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 01:42:59 +0000

Yet another questionable drug came under attack this week, when Avandia, a popular diabetes medication, was linked to a potentially significant increase in the risk of heart attack and heart-related deaths, according to a 2007 report from the FDA. This time, though, a Senate report also complained that the FDA sat on this revelation, even though the FDAs own drug safety oversight committee voted narrowly, 8 to 7, against recalling the drug. In fact, consumer advocacy group Public Citizen called for a ban on Avandia, as a result of clear evidence of increased risks of heart attacks, heart failure, bone fractures, anemia and retinal edema with vision loss. Even the American Diabetes Association recommends avoiding the drug. I found reports on the FDA MedWatch website from 2001, directing manufacturer GlaxoSmithKline to include such warnings on the label, but the Senate report, including the input of a bipartisan team of Senators Baucus and Grassley, suggests that they put public safety at risk because the FDA has been too cozy with drug makers and has been regularly outmaneuvered by companies that have a financial interest in downplaying or under-exploring potential safety risks. Judging by how timid such reports usually are, you can imagine just how bad this is. The FDA has known Avandia was hazardous for nine years, and the evidence continues to mount for lack of one more vote on their committee, how many more people will suffer or die from their foot-dragging? I’m not alone in being fed up with the public welfare being ignored or abused for profit — what will it take to commandeer this runaway train and get control of the widespread poisoning and devastation being perpetrated upon so many of us, in the guise of health care? It should be obvious that dangerous drugs should not be allowed on the market, but without more responsibility on health consumers part in adjusting their lifestyles to reduce the need for such interventions, drug companies have a point if the only choices are to die from blood sugar issues or take a perilous drug, most would take the drug and hope for the best but there is another option, to begin wellness-driven lifestyle habits early in life to minimize drug use except when really required. This paradigm shift is gathering momentum people want a better quality of life and more longevity, and they’re finally accepting that there’s no free lunch. As more drugs are found to have too many strings attached, more people will realize that there’s something they can do to decrease the need for such violent and unnatural solutions. That’s why movements like Eight Weeks To Wellness, Creating Wellness and Discover Wellness are already making a difference in thousands of lives, foretelling a future of personal accountability, better lifestyle decisions, and medicine only when truly appropriate. This is not an anti-drug position it’s an anti-bad-use-of-drugs position, one it will pay to consider, for ourselves, our families, our patients, and for the greater good. Please alert your patients and your sphere of influence, not only about Avandia, but also the need to shift our behaviors toward wellness. Dennis Perman DC, for The Masters Circle

ADD/ADHD amd Allergies... A Connection? hmmm...

Dr. Jeremy Johnson — Thu, 04 Mar 2010 22:17:31 +0000

Parents are often heard to use the following to describe their child:

hyperactive
mood changes
problems with sleeping
abdominal pain
bedwetting
temper tantrums
eczema

Does this sound familiar? Your child may be suffering from ADD/ADHD associated with food allergies. Based on 25 years of studies, scientists concluded in 1999 that ADHD may be caused by foods and food additives. A large number of ADHD children may be having a negative response to food (Anthony Kane, MD 2004-2008 ADHD and Food Allergies). 60-75% of ADHD children with behavioral symptoms are also affected by foods. The questions parents then begin to ask are "How do I find out what my child is allergic to? "What do I do to fix these allergies? " "Medications have side effects, so what can I do besides giving my child shots, drugs, etc?" Allergies, sensitivities, intolerances, eczema, sinusitis, asthma, ADD/ADHD/ headaches, low energy and even autism are examples of symptoms and conditions that can be caused or made worse by normally harmless substances. These conditions and symptoms can be traced to nervous system responses. The nervous system triggers a reaction or series of reactions because of something it has sensed in the environment. Laser therapy stops the reaction and allows the nervous system to become less stressed so the body can begin to heal. Every person is unique and reacts differently to any given substance. That is why some people have allergies, sensitivities, or intolerance to certain substances (food, chemical, or environmental) and other people do not have that same response. Most substances are harmless but can have a negative impact on the body of a person whose nervous system is stressed Dr. Jeremy Johnson, D.C. at Back To Health Family Chiropractic in Spring Hill, TN has used the BAX 3000 to successfully treat patients with allergy symptoms, sinusitis, ADD/ADHD/Autism, skin conditions (eczema, psoriasis, rash, shingles), digestive problems, headaches, and more.... The BAX 3000 (Neurological Stress Relaxation Therapy) has been shown to be effective long term based on the facts:

more than 85% of diseases and health-related conditions are attributed to stress.
The brain associates stress with substances (emotional, genetic, hormonal, environmental, food, chemical) that result in allergy-like symptoms.
Stress reduction can lead to a decrease in symptoms or completely alleviate the condition.

The BAX 3000 is an alternative, holistic treatment that measures stress in the nervous system, identifies substances causing the stress levels to rise and introduces a positive stimulus through the use of a cold laser. This positive stimulus releases endorphins and enkephalins that gives the body that "feel good" feeling. The laser relaxation therapy trains the nervous system to NOT become stressed when exposed to the offending substance. Many conditions that people suffer from all their lives can be reduced or eliminated with NO drugs, NO needles, NO diets, and NO avoidance of certain offending foods. The BAX 3000 does NOT treat or diagnose any specific condition. It reduces stress on the nervous system which allows the body to respond positively ane heal itself. The BAX 3000 treats the person with a condition, not the condition itself. Back To Health Family Chiropractic is located at 1010 Crossings Blvd in Spring Hill, TN. Call 931-489-5979 to make an appointment and make 2010 the year you and your loved ones will be symptom free from many health-related conditions.

Food Sensitivity Testing and Treatment: A Holistic Breakthrough with Unbeatable Results

east-centennial-co — Thu, 04 Mar 2010 18:18:44 +0000

Question: Why are the statistics for allergies and asthma getting worse every year? Why do more kids than ever before have allergies? Answer: The #1 reason for increased rates of allergies and asthma is that more people than ever before are becoming FOOD SENSITIVE, i.e. they are developing “unknown” food sensitivities to otherwise harmless foods. Question: Why are people (and parents) so quick to accept that allergy and asthma symptoms are something they will have to “learn to live with”? Answer: Because they don’t know that there are highly effective holistic solutions to detecting and correcting these troublesome food sensitivities.

Food Sensitivity Testing and Treatment: A Holistic Breakthrough with Unbeatable Results

Imagine having a stomach ache or upset tummy after eating a seemingly harmless food like eggs or fruit. Imagine not being able to eat what you like, when you like because you are afraid of the consequences. Imagine not knowing what causes your digestive trouble and having to tip toe through life hoping what you put into your mouth is not going to “react” later. This is how many people live their lives. And guess what… they have come to accept it! People must learn to live with such troublesome issues when they and their doctors fail to recognize the underlying cause of the problem. Worse yet, they are forced to rely on Pepto Bismol, Tumms, Ibuprofen, and other offending substances that offer a long term side effect that is worse than the original condition itself, like osteoporosis, stomach ulcers, and kidney dysfunction. So, where does it all end? What is the solution to such a common problem that is getting worse year by year? Rest assured the answer will never be found unless we decide that there must be another way, a better way to treating these conditions.

The True Underlying Cause of Many Digestive Symptoms

There are many reasons why people have digestive problems, but perhaps the most common of all is the substance association stress response. The substance association stress response is what takes place when a person eats something that they are hypersensitive to, i.e. allergic to. It is the trigger that initiates a cascade of events that inevitably leads to troublesome symptoms. It is the defining difference between the person that is “OK” eating eggs and the person that is “NOT OK” eating eggs. Whatever you might be hypersensitive to, eggs – you name it, is not the real problem. Instead it is the abnormal way in which your body “reacts” to the substance. The substance association stress response is a neurological event that is orchestrated by the central nervous system, specifically the autonomic nervous system. To put it simply, it is a faulty wiring and timing issue within the body itself that if left uncorrected will always led to the same outcome, i.e. symptoms and misery. To put it another way, it is an abnormal reflex response that the body has when it comes into contact with a particular chemical or substance. Remember when you first touched something hot as a child and jerked your hand away? Probably not, but you do know the theory behind how your body learned to develop reflexes or habits that protect you. You also know that these reflexes eventually become unconscious and automatic. Well, interestingly enough, your body can acquire bad reflexes too. In short, the substance association stress response is a great example of an unhealthy reflex. And, as many people know it can be a bad, abnormal, unnecessary, untimely reflex at that. What if you could break that reflex and establish a new one, a healthier reflex to eggs, fruit – you name it! What if you could break the reflex that makes your body react to something that many other people do not react to? What if you could go from being “NOT OK” with certain foods, chemicals and substances to being “OK” with them like other people are? Would that be a better life, a more enjoyable life? You bet it would!!

Can’t I Just Use an Avoidance or Elimination Strategy?

You could, but would that be the best thing for you to do? If you have an obvious abnormality in the way your central nervous system works – why wouldn’t you want to fix it? The truth is allergy symptoms and the substance association stress responses are just the tip of the ice burg. They are a physical manifestation of an underlying problem within your central nervous system. Your central nervous system is like your body’s super computer. You don’t want ANY underlying problems, glitches, malfunctions, etc. The result of an abnormally functioning nervous system is always dysfunction and dis-ease. By the same token, the result of a healthy well functioning nervous system is health without the presence of symptoms.

Can Underlying Food Allergies Cause Other Allergy Disorders?

Yes. It is well accepted that underlying food allergies may in fact drive other allergic disorders like asthma, skin conditions, seasonal allergies, etc. The more substance association stress responses a person has the greater the symptoms and condition. For instance, a person could have several “unknown food hypersensitivities” that magnify or fuel the one “known” allergy. It works like this. Your central nervous system can only handle so much stress before it crashes like a computer and produces symptoms. The more “unknown” sensitivities you have the more neurological stress you ask your body to deal with on a regular basis. In a way your body remains on edge or close to a tipping point, and you don’t even know it. So when that cat enters the room, or the seasons change, or that food is consumed – your central nervous system and immune system crash and you have an allergic reaction. So then, is the real problem what you see, the tip of the iceberg? Or is the real problem what goes unseen, what lies beneath the surface? Could it be that allergy and asthma symptoms are getting worse year after year because we are only focusing on what we see on the surface, paying no attention to the true underlying cause of the condition? Statistics and simple logic, as described above, would suggest so.

What Should a Person With Allergy and Asthma Symptoms Do?

To put it simply, stop treating the symptoms as if they are the condition. Try and find the true underlying cause of the condition, and fix it once and for all. Then and only then will your body be free from the substance association stress response, and thus be symptom free. Remember, reflexes and habits both good and bad can be easily built and easily broken. The key is finding the right doctor to help you do just that. In my opinion, nearly every allergy and asthma patient has 2 choices:

To learn to live with their condition and rely on man made medications to manage symptoms, thus leaving the bodily dysfunction to worsen with time.
Or, to learn more about their body, to improve it for the sake of their future well being and allow it to work as God designed it to.

"I Can Eat Like A Normal Boy!"

Dr. Jeremy Johnson — Wed, 03 Mar 2010 21:09:00 +0000

Testimonial: "All my life I have suffered with numerous food allergies (I am 11 years old). Since I was a small child, I have been hyperactive and have a short attention span. My parents brought me to see Dr. Jeremy Johnson at Back To Health Family Chiropractic in Spring Hill, TN. " "I started receiving treatments with the BAX 3000 laser therapy. After the 1st treatment, I felt so much better. I started sleeping 10-12 hours at night. My parents say that is wonderful! " "I have always loved eating fruit, especially apples, but had to avoid them because I would have an allergic reaction to the apple. Following treatments, I can now eat an apple and I don't have to avoid other foods when I go to my friend's house. " "My schoolwork is much easier because I can focus better. I am much more calm and relaxed. " "Thank you Dr. Johnson and staff for bringing the BAX 3000 to Spring Hill, TN. Each treatment is fast and easy. And best of all, NO shots, NO medications."

A Stress and Allergy Connection - Seriously!

Dr. Jeremy Johnson — Wed, 03 Mar 2010 17:44:28 +0000

Spring is coming and with that comes allergies to pollens, pesticides, lawn chemicals, flowers, grasses, trees, etc. People who have a very stressful life may find their allergies are made worse with increasing stress levels. Life changing events such as change in jobs, family difficulties, financial burdens, moving to a new house/city/state, new addition to family, divorce, or marriage can put additional stress on a person who is already susceptible to high stress levels. Scientists suspect stress affects the immune system and heightens the allergic response. Scientists at Ohio State University performed a study subjecting allergy sufferers to a skin prick test to measure their response to allergens. One day the subjects gave speeches to a panel and then had to solve math problems in their heads. On another day, they had less stressful tasks, like reading magazines or watching television. A day after the stressor, the most anxious subjects continued to show severe symptoms, suggesting a lingering response from the anxiety. Their conclusion was that the study showed psychological stress can increase and possibly prolong allergic responses. Dr. Jeremy Johnson, D.C. at Back to Health Family Chiropractic, LLC in Spring Hill, Tennessee uses the BAX 3000 laser therapy to reduce stress on the nervous system; thereby, reducing or eliminating allergy symptoms. The BAX 3000 laser therapy is based on the facts that:

Stress causes 80-85% of disease or illness related conditions
Decreasing stress levels reduces or alleviates symptoms
The brain associates stressful events with normally harmless substances which can lead to health related conditions

The BAX 3000 measures stress in the nervous system, identifies substances that cause stress levels to rise and introduces a positive stimulus that causes the release of endorphins and enkephalins that makes the body “feel good.” The BAX 3000 assesses the patient's response to common allergens, environmental substances and food. The assessment is fast, safe, and completely non-invasive. Following assessment, Laser Therapy is used to condition the patient to react normally to these otherwise harmless substances. The BAX 3000 does NOT treat or diagnose any specific condition. It reduces stress on the nervous system which allows the body to respond in a positive manner when exposed to a specific substance. The BAX 3000 treats the person with a condition, not the condition itself. The philosophy at Back To Health Family Chiropractic is for the patient to not avoid known allergens but to provide an effective alternative method of therapy to help alleviate numerous auto-immune related conditions. These conditions may include seasonal allergies, food allergies, environment allergies, asthma, digestive problems such as celiac disease, gluten intolerance, IBS, skin conditions such as eczema, rosacea, and psoriasis as well as childhood neurological disorders such as ADD, ADHD, and even Autism.

Can A Crooked Spine Cause Disease?

yardley-pa — Tue, 02 Mar 2010 23:31:24 +0000

An interresting study was done by Dr. Henry Windsor, a medical doctor from the University of Pennsylvania. In the study, he was interrested in finding out whether there existed a relationship between curvatures in the spine (bones out of place) and diseased organs. Here is what he did. Dr. Windsor took 50 cadavers from the pathology department, dissected them and looked for diseased organs. In the 50 cadavers, he found 139 organs that were in various stages of disease. He found diseased hearts, livers, gall bladders, etc,etc. He then did something very interresting. He took the nerves from the diseased organs and traced them back to the spine. Here is what Dr. Windsor found. "Therefore, in 50 cadavers with disease in 139 organs, there was found curve of the vertebrae belonging to the same sympathetic segments as the diseased organs 128 times, leaving a apparent discrepancy of 10 in which the vertebrae in curve belonged to an adjacent segment to that which should supply the diseased organs with sympathetic filaments" The author then notes that the 10 "apparent discrepancies from adjacent segments" can be accounted for by "nerve filaments leaving the spinal cord and traveling for a few segments." The author then states that if he included the cadaver with "faint curve and slight visceral pathology" that the correlation was 139 out of 139 for 100% So basically, here is what happens:

Bones shift out of place, and the spine becomes misaligned
This results in nerve irritation
The nerve irritation leads to increased sympathetic tone,vasomotor spasm and reduced blood flow.
This leads to organ disease (visceral pathology!)

Windsor goes on to state... "The disease appears to precede old age and to cause it. The spine becomes stiff first and old age follows. Therefore, we may say a man is as old as his spine, the arteries becoming hardened later from constant vaso-motor spasm, following sympathetic irritation." After reading this article, one realizes the importance of regular chiropractic care. Not just for pain, but for an optimally functioning spine and nervous system. Chiropractors lead the way in re-aligning misaligned spines. Dr. Parkes is the owner of Bordentown Chiropractic clinic and Bioveda Health and Wellness Center of Yardley.
