Parlor sink Radiculopathy Martha Welling has become self-conscious about the way her hair has looked these days so she has visited her hair dresser more often – like almost weekly. She then started to experience an increase in neck pains, pain and numbness running down her arm and an in crease in headaches. These are signs of parlor sink radiculopathy. All these problems had already been successfully controlled by earlier chiropractic care, so she wondered if there was a connection between…
It is now proven beyond any doubt that certain processed meats cause cancer. Processed meats – such as bacon, sausages and ham – do cause cancer, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). Its report said 50g of processed meat a day – less than two slices of bacon – increased the chance of developing colorectal cancer by 18%. the report is based on research that an estimated 50-gram portion of processed meat you eat increases the risk of colorectal…
Today’s cultural eating habits have been trumped and redesigned by the “Big Food Industry” which consist of the multinational companies that manipulate the world’s markets in food supply and by the growing number of fast food franchises. To speak plainly, consumers have been manipulated, their foods have been manipulated, altered and packaged to best serve to bottom line of Big Foods. One unfortunate side effect of this commercial manipulation is the rapid rise in the occurrence of Type 2 Diabetes.…
In an American study on the impact in communities that have added more doctors, one interesting finding is worth mentioning for this blog community. 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…
Diets create a lose / lose scenario where the glass is constantly seen as half full, of being denied things. When we replace the word Energy in weight management, meaning Energy Management, we are now dealing with a win / win scenario where the glass now becomes half full. 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…
With so many Call Centers in operation in the Philippines it is not surprising that an industry focused on International telecom service solutions recognizes the need to address repetitive postural stress aspect of their workforce. This week the Philippine College of Science and Technology invited me to present information on Posture and Ergonomics to their students, to their faculty and to the corporate partners in Industry. In the same week I was approached by the makers of BackJoy to work…
It was almost exactly one year ago that I received a text from Jam that he was diagnosed with lung cancer. As his Chiropractor, he asked me if I knew of natural methods to treat cancer as he didn’t want to undergo chemotherapy and to find a less toxic way to heal from the cancer. I recommended a consultation with a couple naturopathic doctors for their advice. In his case, the cancer was already too advanced and medical care was…
The current medical model does not help people get healthy or stay healthy for the simple reason that is not why those professions exist. Medicine exists to test, diagnose and treat disease. We will transgress from the topic of disease management and shift into a true health care discussion. There are two main things that we all have that keeps us healthy: a properly functioning nervous system and an efficient metabolism. How to maintain these two sides of the coin…
This year I will dedicate a monthly blog to Medical Doctors (MDs) on topics related to Chiropractic that relates to their medical practices. Since Doctors of Chiropractic (DCs) are educated in separate universities than medicine and that DCs do not work out of hospitals, there are few occasions for MDs to become familiar with their local DCs or Chiropractic in general for that matter. I pray this blog will reach doctors focused on caring for their patients, that they look…
HAPPY NEW YEAR! To all our faithful reader, fans and followers, may you realize all the blessings and benefits of making all the right choices and actions in 2015. Last week we touched on the alternative life scenario whereby one denies themselves 20 good years of living by failing to avoid all the wrong things and by avoiding to do all the right things. Life is a gift, a special gift God gives us to share love with others, to…
