Is it time for an adjustment or a massage?
How a nerve moves when you move matters if you want to be or stay pain free. Imagine if there is interference from a misalignment or trigger point (buildup of metabolic debris and lactic acid or calcium deposits) …

My epiphany this morning: The more someone looks for validation from the outside , the farther away they’re from their true inner self.

Do you suffer from FATIGUE?
The number one reason for fatigue is Anemia.
There are hundreds of different types of anemia.
Most are caused from food sensitivities.
Food sensitivity causes protein reaction which causes INFLAMMATION which causes FATIGUE.
There are kits (DNA, Saliva, Stool) you can order to test what you’re sensitive to, which foods are inflaming you.

I experienced peripheral neuropathy after the birth of my third child. I was in my mid thirties, afraid that the increasing numbness and tingling in my hands would force me to shout down my practice. I went to see many medical doctors and did a great many tests… but nobody was able to help me. Being a chiropractor by trade, trained to investigate and pursuit the CAUSE of any health problem, I was desperate to figure out what possibly could cause my symptoms. I was not going to accept that I had to live with this incapacitating dis-ease. It took me several years… and ironically one of my patients at that time helped me figure it out.
I eliminated the cause of my numbness and gradually my nerves seemed to heal. Today I am in my fifties and in better health than I was in my thirties. I feel blessed that- me being a doctor of chiropractic- I had the conviction to investigate. I’m thankful that I was able to identify the culprit, eliminate it and let my body heal.
More than ever I am convinced that pharmaceutical drugs should be used for emergencies and not as subscriptions to an illusion of health. Wellbeing is a result of being mindful to the needs of your body and being patient to allow it to heal.

Amazing alternative to chemical oven cleaners: soak the peels of oranges for several weeks in vinegar. Just pour on the hard baked-on crusty oven drippings and let it soak. Soon you will be able to easily wipe it clean.

As I am getting older, I’m focusing on increasing the protein while reducing the carbs. Normally we would have roasted the asparagus by itself and then serve them with a meat and a grain. I decided to wrap the asparagus up in protein and make that them the center of a paleo-keto meal. There you have it: a simple Asparagus-Bacon-Cheese Cordon Bleu. 😋

Why you should always grate your own cheese…

You can use any syrup, as long as it is all organic or home made with real ingredients. Syrup in itself has been made for centuries in order to preserve fruit and juice. There is no need for preservatives or artificial colorings and flavorings.

Have you ever noticed that a drug is introduced in commercials for one specific illness… and six months later it is being promoted for a seemingly completely different illness?
In chiropractic as well as in Eastern (Chinese) Medicine, we don’t fancy big names for diseases because we believe that dis-ease is merely a lack of flow of nerve impulses or chi (life force). A loss of chi can materialize into many different signs and symptoms. It doesn’t really matter what you call the sign or symptom. The more important factor is to restore the flow of chi or nerve impulses to restore balance and health.
I have been highlighting to my patients that on the continuum from health to disease and back to health, one single nutritional (protein) sensitivity could indeed cause every single disease that you see drug commercials for. For example gluten protein can cause antibodies/immuneglobuline chain reactions that can materialize into skin, gut, joint or nervous system issues. Start paying attention to commercials! Discover how many drugs are being promoted for skin issues and six months later for joint, gastro-enterological and/or nervous system issues. Just another indication that it is important to have a holistic approach to health;)
Oh and yes, you are what you eat! If a protein causes symptoms of Crohn’s or Psoriasis, wouldn’t it make more sense to eliminate that protein from the diet instead of using drugs as a bandaid…? 🤔🧐😉
