Chiropractic Focus – bra fitting

Posted on 12/26/2015

Experts estimate that more than 85 percent of women are wearing the wrong size bra! The problem: Ribs are a semi-flexible structure to allow for lung expansion during inspiration and expiration and rigid enough to protect the lungs and the heart. Women are advised to wear a bra or brazier to protect and support their breasts but if they have a wrong fit, it can cause problems with the rib cage. Many times, when a woman comes in for a chiropractic…

Wellness Focus – Probiotics

Posted on 09/20/2014

We normally think about Probiotics after taking a course of antibiotic therapy. At least one would hope that is common knowledge simply because the antibiotic kills both harmful and friendly bacteria. One might be asking if the probiotic is safe and that is a good question. Fortunately the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality assessment of the safety of probiotics, partly funded by NCCAM, concluded that the current evidence does not suggest a widespread risk of negative side effects associated…

Wellness Focus – USANA Supplements

Posted on 06/14/2014

It is common for a chiropractor to make dietary recommendations including micro-nutrient supplementation. Problem people run into is where to get reliable, quality food supplements in Asia when any such recommendation is made? My patients would run to the local “Health Food Store” and buy supplements but they just weren’t getting the expected results. Apparently, in Asia some companies use fillers in their products to lower their costs, and because of the lack of government oversight and enforceability on these…

Wellness Focus – The Cholesterol Question

Posted on 01/25/2014

Paul Welling is a successful businessman and that means he often takes business lunches and dinners at nice restaurants; so over the years he has become stout and a recent blood test revealed that his cholesterol was high. Naturally (actually unnaturally) the doctor prescribed a Statin drug to lower these levels. Now Paul is not a cynical person but he happens to be conservative about running to the drugstore to fill a prescription, and this was the first time he…

Mary heard from a friend how she lost 10 lbs quickly by drinking a slimming tea. Who wouldn’t want to do that? So several days later Mary starts to suffer allergic and gastrointestinal symptoms. She really wanted to reach her goal so she overlooked the body’s warning signs and continued another week on the slimming tea. She had to be rushed to emergency for severe headaches, muscle and abdominal pains. Turns out she was dehydrated and had lost minerals that…

Fat, Sick & Nearly Dead

Posted on 05/20/2013

In our journey towards a Well Life we need to expand our exposure to new ideas and be motivated by exceptional individuals who stand out of the crowd with their achievements. On May 30, 2013 in Manila I attended a seminar by one such individual who has reversed his physical standing where the risk of experiencing Diabetes has been virtually eliminated, if his progress is sustained. Australian businessman Joe Cross tipped the scale at 310 pounds when he realized he needed to…
