LOW BONE DENSITY? THIS MAY BE WHY..
This is not the first time I’ve addressed bone health and I’m pretty certain it won’t be the last. I’m just not sure why my message hasn’t yet changed public policy as it relates to bone health.. Here’s a little secret…

AVOIDING THIS IN FOODS WILL RAISE CHOLESTEROL
It’s funny. We think about what foods to add to lower cholesterol such as raw nuts and fish oils. We think about what foods to avoid to lower cholesterol such as omega-6 containing oils (sunflower, soybean, peanut…

DO YOU ADD THIS TO YOUR FOOD?
Variety is the spice of life. They certainly got the spice part right on this one. It amazes me how many people miss an opportunity to add culinary delight to meal after meal by adding spices. When we talk “spice” it…

WANT TO LOWER RISK OF DEMENTIA BY 91%?
Let’s get one thing straight. Just like diabetes, most of the cases of Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s are because of the choices we’ve made in our lives. To some, this may sound harsh, but the research continues to support…

BONE FRACTURES = HEART DISEASE?
I’ve always contended that the human body cares not one squat about the artificial delineations we have created in Westernized medicine. The body does not recognize that “cardiovascular” problem independently from an…

SHOULD I TAKE ASPIRIN FOR MY HEART?
There are a few things in society today that can be repeated with an almost mantra like quality when it comes to preventing heart attacks. The first is that we need to lower our intake of sodium. The curtains on this…

CAN I REVERSE MY DIABETES?
There has been a clear push in the US to increase activity levels. Heck–even Ronald McDonald is moving around like Richard Simmons these days. All the recommendations from our national agencies promote more physical…

THE “WAR ON DRUGS” WAS LOOKING AT THE WRONG DRUGS
In 1971, President Nixon declared a war on drugs. Unfortunately for our country, that war was limited to illicit drugs. For the next several decades, drug overdose deaths were largely attributable to these drugs…

THIS COMMON CONTAMINANT CAN AFFECT FERTILITY
I realize that my office is a single isolated system and by no means does it reflect the entire picture of what happens outside of my office. With this in mind, I can honestly say that I have never had a patient who…

HAD A SPINAL FUSION? WAS THIS MATERIAL USED?
I would have to say that in all but the most astute, few dug deep enough into their surgical procedure of fusion to find out how the surgeon was going to help the bones fuse together. As a chiropractor, obviously the…

MEN–IS YOUR WATER BOTTLE GIVING YOU BREASTS?
So this is not the first time I’ve brought up the toxins in our environment. However, the label of your bottled water certainly does not indicate that every case comes with a training bra, but maybe it should. Many…

IS YOUR THYROID WORRIED ABOUT BURSTING INTO FLAMES?
Ok. I understand that burning to a crisp would not be a fun way to go. I also do not recall anyone personally who has been killed in any type of fire, although I’m sure there has been someone. MAYBE this is because we…

INCREDIBLE TREATMENT FOR EPILEPSY REALLY THIS SIMPLE?
Few neurologists, as a front line discussion, will bring up the ability of anything other than medications to alter seizure susceptibility. There is rarely discussion of stress management, exercise, targeted…

WHY DON’T WE REACH FOR THE BROCCOLI WHEN WE’RE STRESSED?
Let’s face it. When we’re stressed it goes one of two ways. We forget to eat and starve ourselves, leading to loss of muscle mass and all the problems that go with it (about 40% of us). Or, we drive through the Dunkin…

PAST 25 YEARS OLD? HAVE YOU HAD YOUR BONE DENSITY CHECKED YET?
For several years now our office has used an in-house DXA scan for bone density of the wrist. We strongly promote anyone over 25 to have their bone density checked. Much like everything else in this country, we wait…

DID YOU RECEIVE A SCRIPT FOR THIS MED? IF SO, YOUR DOCTOR WAS TRICKED
I call them the “drug of the week.” I’ve been in practice long enough to see patterns of patients that come into my office. There are times when it seems like every other patient coming into my office is on a hot new…

WHY NOT ALL FIBER IS CREATED THE SAME
As devastating as it is for human health, few I have come across truly understand the difference between a whole grain or refined carbohydrate. The typical answer include white sugars and flours. The real answer is far…

MORE RATIONING OF BREAST CANCER TREATMENT
You may have heard the news hoopla recently when the FDA withdrew the approval of Avastin for the treatment of breast cancer. The world was floored. The news screamed rationing. The comments following all the news…

PRESCRIPTION DRUG USE DURING PREGNANCY ON THE RISE
From my perspective, the use of ANY prescription medication during pregnancy is of concern. However, with time it seems like society and medicine are becoming increasingly accepting of its use. Environmental Working…

INFLAMMATION LEADS TO DEPRESSION IN ELDERLY
Psychological problems seem to be everywhere in today’s society. The knee jerk reaction is to medicate. The problem with these drugs is that they really don’t hold up to well against placebo. As a matter of fact, for…
