In the healthcare world today we find that the career trend in medicine is to push most doctors into specialty care. A specialist is someone who knows more and more about less and less, and this is all good except that when too many doctors are becoming specialists, who is going to be the family doctor? The other intended effect of medical specialization is the increase in prescription of the more expensive drugs. As much as there is a need…

Chiropractic care lowers cancer death rates
Posted on 09/05/2015In 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…

Metabolism in Weight Management
Posted on 08/22/2015Diets 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…
Children undergo natural growth spurts under the timing of their body’s hormonal system and guided under the watchful nervous system. But growth means the body needs more materials to build itself up. Food is where we get these building blocks and by the time the digestive system processes the foods we eat they all break down into Proteins, Fats, Carbohydrates, micro-nutrients and water we add to our bodies.

docMIKE Blog 2nd ANNIVERSARY ISSUE
Posted on 03/13/2015
Happy 2nd Anniversary docMIKE Blog! This month we will reach 160 blogs published for the benefit of our followers. Every month we take note of the different topics asked by our patients and the community at large to plan out which blogs to write that month. Sometimes a different conversation puts one subject ahead of the line and we post that same week. As time goes on we are finding that our chiropractors are now referring to docMIKEblog daily as our patient…
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…
Merry Christmas to our readers! Jesus is King, we know it and love Him for it. The 60 to 70 Year Life Story is the one that ends up in an early demise. We have the same genetic potential to live until the oldest member of our ancestry. Merle Barwis was the oldest person in Canada. Last year she celebrated her 113th birthday two days before Christmas. This week she isn’t with us having passed away just a month ago. There are…

Living a long life – What it is and what it is not
Posted on 11/15/2014My 100 Year Lifestyle Coach, Dr. Eric Plasker, wrote this article I wish to share with our readers. In case you don’t know yet, I plan on living up to 100 and more. You could too. Centenarians, people who are living to 100 or more, are one of the world’s fastest growing age groups. Living to 80, 90 and above has become the norm. Will knowing that you may live a century or more lend urgency to your desire to…
How long do you see yourself living? 70’s? 80s? 90s? 100?
