I have Vit D3 available from Nutrition-West in two sizes;
5000iu and 2500iu with probiotics

A large randomized controlled trial supported by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) examined whether vitamin D affects cellular aging by measuring telomere length in white blood cells. The analysis was part of the VITAL trial, which followed nearly 26,000 adults over five years. More than 900 participants were included in the telomere sub-study, with half taking 2,000 IU of vitamin D3 daily and the other half taking a placebo.

After four years, participants taking vitamin D showed significantly less telomere shortening, losing about 140 fewer DNA base pairs compared with placebo. Since telomeres shorten as cells divide and age, researchers estimate this difference could equal up to three years less biological aging. The findings were published in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition and suggest vitamin D may help preserve genetic stability as we age, though researchers note replication is still needed.

This PubMed article follows 3 cases of MIGRAINES from neurologist to chiropractor. As some of you know, my profession is quite beneficial!

This case series illustrates an integrated model of care for migraine that combines standard neurological care with chiropractic treatment. For each patient, we describe the rationale for referral, diagnosis by both the neurologist and chiropractor, ...

Removal of the GALL BLADDER increases the risk of cancer!
Particularly cancer of the digestive system such as colon, liver, pancreas, oral cavity, biliary tract and also leukemia.

Contradictory findings on the association between cholecystectomy and cancer have been reported. We aimed to investigate the risk of all types of cancers or site-specific cancers in patients who underwent cholecystectomy using a nationwide dataset. ...

Did you know that Vitamin A can assist the healing of stomach ulcers?

The effects of vitamin A were studied on the basal and maximal gastric secretory responses of 12 patients; and on healing in 60 patients with chronic gastric ulcer. The effect of vitamin A on ulcer healing was evaluated by a multiclinical, multicentre, randomized, prospective study in which the pati...

A new study published in iScience reports the discovery of a previously unknown lymphatic-like network in the brain. Using advanced imaging, researchers identified structures that appear to help drain waste and support immune function. The finding builds on earlier evidence from glymphatic research but provides clearer anatomical proof. Scientists say this could reshape understanding of disorders like Alzheimer’s that involve impaired waste clearance. The study marks a significant shift in how we view the brain’s connection to the body’s lymphatic system.

A New Form of Life Hidden Inside the Human Body
In a discovery that could rewrite our understanding of biology, Stanford scientists have identified a completely new and mysterious RNA-based form of life living inside the human body. They’ve named these strange entities “obelisks”, and their origin and purpose remain unknown.
Unlike bacteria, viruses, or fungi, obelisks don’t fit into any category of life we’ve studied before. They are made up of RNA, the molecule that carries genetic information, but they don’t behave like traditional viruses. Instead, they seem to exist in a shadowy middle ground, replicating, surviving, and spreading inside us, yet not clearly linked to disease or health.
So far, researchers have found these obelisks in the mouths and guts of thousands of people worldwide. Their strange, rod-like genetic structure is unlike anything seen before in nature. Some scientists think they could represent an entirely new branch of life that has been living undetected within humans for millennia. Others suggest they may influence how our bodies function in ways we haven’t yet realised.
This discovery is more than a scientific curiosity, it challenges one of the biggest assumptions in biology: that we already know the major players in human health. If obelisks turn out to play a role in immunity, metabolism, or disease, they could transform how we diagnose and treat countless conditions.
For centuries, humanity has looked outward, exploring the stars in search of alien life. Yet here we are, finding something alien-like within ourselves.
Imagine what else might be hidden inside the human body, waiting to be revealed, entire biological worlds still unknown, reminding us that the frontier of discovery is not just out in space but also within.

Institute of Clinical Evaluative Sciences (ICES) Study (2001/2008) suggests similar percentags of patient leaving visits of primary care physicians and chiropractic care have strokes. Oddly primary care visits have no spinal manipulation!

The current evidence suggests that association between chiropractic care and vertebrobasilar artery (VBA) stroke is not causal. Rather, recent epidemiological studies suggest that it is coincidental and reflects the natural history of the disorder. Because neck pain and headaches are symptoms that c...

🎉 Big news from the State of Ohio! 🎉

Governor Mike DeWine and Lieutenant Governor Jim Tressel have officially proclaimed September 2025 as DRUG-FREE PAIN MANAGEMENT AWARENESS MONTH! 🙌✨

This recognition highlights the importance of safe, effective, and drug-free approaches to managing pain—especially chiropractic care that helps people live healthier, fuller lives without relying on opioids or unnecessary drugs. 💪🌿

Together, we celebrate the progress being made in the fight against opioid abuse while raising awareness of the power of natural, drug-free solutions for spinal and musculoskeletal pain.

Let’s spread the word and keep Ohio moving toward a brighter, healthier future! 💙🤍❤️
