The more chiropractors were concentrated in a community the greater the improvement for the health outcome reviews, and that comes as no surprise. What is unexpected is that, in comparison to an equal increase in other doctors that had little to no effect on cancer death rates, it was documented that for cancer deaths and increasing…

Metabolism in Weight Management

Posted on 08/22/2015

Now the goal becomes focused on filling the energy glass vs. constantly trying to empty the glass full of fat. A Radical change in thinking, I will admit to that, but…

Heat – Ice – Heat

Posted on 08/08/2015

In an earlier blog we discussed if you should use heat or ice for self-care and for first aid. Believe it or not there are times when you should be BOTH heat and ice. Interesting eh?

Teenage growth

Posted on 05/02/2015

Children undergo natural growth spurts under the timing of their body’s hormonal system and guided under the watchful nervous system.
