CBC News - Montreal - 'Epidemic' of vitamin D deficiency: MUHC study: "- Sent using Google Toolbar"
Vitamin D functions more like a hormone than a vitamin, affecting a wide variety of body functions. The problem is that most people tested today are seriously deficient. The good news is that this can easily be fixed. First, go get some sun! That's the best and thriftiest way to get Vitamin D. If you find that you're very deficient you may need to get a good supplement. Biotics Labs makes excellent Vitamin D drops.

People have such a hard time understanding that chiropractic care itself does not cure anything. The body provides the cure. When there is full transmission between the brain, spine, and end organs there is optimal health. Sometimes there is blockage between the brain and end organs and when that happens there is dysfunction and eventually disease. Chiropractic care simply removes that blockage and the body then knows what to do.
From BJ Palmer, the son of chiropractic's founder: " We release the prisioned impulse, the tiny rivulet of force that emanates from the mind and flows over the nerves to the cell and stirs them into life."

Why always the skepticism? If the skeptics understood how the body works, whether human or otherwise with a brain and spine, then there would be acknowledgment instead if ignorance. And there would be much better health in the world. Sometimes it's so simple we don't get it.

This test was not large enough to be conclusive. The children who were not affected either way by the diet should be tested for mercury and aluminum toxins. There is another good lab test for autistic kids which measures brain neurotransmitter levels. Often these chemicals are out of balance, either too high or low, and can be corrected with a dietary and nutritional program.
There are also brain exercises which can increase brain pathways and boost natural production of neurotransmitters.

Why Doctors Hate Chiropractors
Why Doctors Hate Chiropractors: "- Sent using Google Toolbar"
I've worked in harmony with many medical doctors. There is still much misinformation in the medial field about chiropractic and how it helps people. I don't like the back pain box because I know what I do does more than that. Chiropractors need to be thoroughly versed in neurology because that in fact is what chiropractic is. And they need to be able to explain what they do in medical terms if they want medical referrals. Research has improved vastly in the last 10 years but lags very much behind. This is the key to mutual cooperation. I also believe that the younger MDs are more willing to go CAM than their older counterparts.
Most doctors don't hate chiropractors. First they don't know what it is. Secondly they don't know any chiropractors to refer to. The time is ripe for education! The patients are tired of pills and surgery. They're tired of being told "you just have to live with it" or "no one really knows why you're in pain". We have the answers and the world needs to know.

Why are your kids acting up? Why can't they sit still and focus? Why can't they learn? It may not be their fault.
Their sensitive and rapidly developing nervous systems are under assault from environmental toxins such as pesticides. These organophosphates are designed to kill bugs by disrupting their nervous systems. When they're sprayed they reach the food, the soil and even the water. Eventually the animals we eat are also loaded with these poisons. So they're involved at every level of the food chain.
Everyone must adapt measures to detoxify on a regular basis. The body has several ways in which it naturally detoxes. First is the liver with two phases. It's kind of like moving day. Phase One boxes up the garbage and in Phase Two the moving men come and load the boxes on the truck to be transported away. If either or both of these phases is not working the liver and the body will be overburdened. It's easy to assess this problem with the right lab test. From there diet and nutrients can be prescribed to facilitate detox "moving day".
Next is the digestive system. Is overeating a problem? Is overload of junk food including natural and artificial sweeteners a problem? Is there gas, constipation, loose bowels, or incomplete evacuation? Is urine dark and does it smell bad? These are major problems! But they can be fixed with some changes to diet and lifestyle. Keep in mind that the GI tract is home to 80% of the immune system! Toxins will break down the ability of the GI tract to function properly.
Emotional stress can impact the GI system very quickly. In this scenario there are connections from stress and emotions to the GI tract to the immune system to the nervous system and soon to the whole body.
There's much more to discuss. The bottom line is that everyone of us is in the line of fire from environmental toxins to the degree that they can affect our physiology and behavior. The good new is there are defensive and corrective measure which can be taken. The trick is finding a well trained doctor/coach to guide you through the process to better health.

Canned Food May Expose People to BPA
Canned Food May Expose People to BPA
BPA is a chemical which mimics sex hormones and can disrupt the neuro-endocrine system. That can cause "cancers, early puberty, and developmental problems". It can also cause women to be more male-like and males to become feminized.
It gets more and more difficult today to avoid environmental toxins. This makes it necessary to incorporate a detoxification program as part of your regular regimen.

The immune system works on memory. Foreign invaders are identified, dispatched, and memorized for future cases. The immune system doesn't forget. If vaccines are designed to stimulate the immune system into an immune response then how could it be that a booster would be needed? Maybe it never worked in the first place? Or maybe the drug companies need to increase sales?

How to Save Your Skin
Let your food be your medicine and your medicine be your food.*
Specific compounds found in broccoli sprouts were found in experimental mice to decrease the damage caused by UV radiation to skin thus decreasing the likely hood of developing skin cancer. Skin tumors that did develop on some of the mice were up to 70% smaller than those that developed on the mice that were not fed the broccoli compounds.
Cruciferous vegetables, like broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage and Brussels sprouts, contain high levels of the active plant chemicals known as glucosinolates. These are metabolized by the body into isothiocyanates, which are known to be powerful anti-carcinogens. The main isothiocyanate from broccoli is sulphoraphane.

Biological link between stress, anxiety and depression identified
Through chemical signals in the brain stress can lead to anxiety and depression. We are all faced with stress and some of can actually be good for us. Today, however, we have stress from just too many angles. Poor diet and sleep habits, overuse of electronics and exposure to electromagnetic fields, lack of economic and societal stability, environmental pollution affecting everything we eat, breathe, and drink, and....and....and....You can probably add a whole lot to this list. The key is to modify our ability to handle the stress. An already stressed system exposed to more chronic stress will, without a doubt, succumb given enough time.
This study shows on a biological level how stress turns into anxiety and depression. We want to head off the anxiety and depression and need for meds and therapy. The first key is to decide what's really worth stressing about. Then it's very important to test your cortisol and other hormones and neurotransmitters to find out how your body is handling all this stress. Usually it's not so good. When this information is gathered you can be put on a nutritional program which will boost your ability to handle stress.
Next it's really important to determine your ability to detoxify and choose appropriate nutrients and diet. A prescription of 7 hours sleep a night is mandatory in order to restore your sleep wake hormones which have been depleted due to bad habits.
Water is the next key to helping your brain and body. So many people are simply dehydrated, both from lack of water intake combined with excess consumption of caffeinated beverages which act as diuretics.
After all this is accomplished a plan of excercise can be drawn up to build cardio vascular integrity and restore lost muscle mass. Along the way this will also help normalize blood sugar, reduce fat, strengthen the heart and other inner organs, and drastically reduce the chances of all the major diseases.
Best of all you'll feel good and enjoy life! Why not?

Sit still, Lose Muscle
Loss of muscle begins in the 30s as Testosterone and Growth Hormone begin to decrease. Muscle loss also occurs due to inactivity and disease. Some people face this triple whammy and by the time the reach their 50s or 60s they are already in severe physical decline. The good news is that this trend can be reversed at any age at least to some degree. Sedentary geriatrics in nursing home have been given a weight lifting program with light hand weights and have shown marked improvement in muscle mass and strength in just a short period of time. The right nutrients can also add to the effects. Certain amino acids will help build muscle by releasing the natural Growth Hormone which is stored in the brain.

Cancer Linked to Other Chronic Illnesses
This is not surprising to integrative practitioners. Why? Because it's all about inflammation and a high degree of acidity. The body is on fire. This is the common source of all these diseases. Detoxification is critical to increase salivary pH to 7.0 and to decrease systemic inflammation. Other good practices towards this goal are to drink 2-3 liters of water per day with cut up lemon and orange slices, sleep 7 hours in a dark room, exercise, and eat plenty of fruits and vegetables as part of an anti-inflammatory diet. Learning how to handle stress is also very important. Frankincense from Ethiopia is a very powerful anti-anxiety and depression medication when inhaled. Get the oil and put some on your forehead and neck. You can even put it on your pillow at night.

Dark Chocolate May Improve Metabolic Stress Response Say Nestlé Researchers
Dark chocolate to the stress rescue! What could be better news? Dark chocolate actually reduces elevated cortisol levels. Cortisol is also known as adrenaline and is elevated in response to stress and anxiety. When the stress is chronic cortisol levels can be high for so long that they become depleted as the adrenal glands can longer produce it. If the stress is still there this can be a dangerous situation.
In these cases we need to give the adrenal glands the nutrients they crave in order to function properly in response to stress. Dark chocolate, green tea, and dry red wine fit the bill! Make these items part of your daily diet.

In this study V8 vegetable juice was used to help subject lower blood pressure. V8 has a problem in that it's loaded with sodium which is known to raise blood pressure.
A better solution is to buy a VitaMix machine. This is not a juicer. Juicers separate the valuable pulp from the juice. The VitaMix purees the entire vegetable. In this way you get whole vegetables and fruits for the health benefits and you need much less produce when compared to a standard juicer. That saves you money.

Long-Term Use of Osteoporosis Drug May Cause Bone Fractures
Patients taking Fosamax, a drug that was designed to help protect against osteoporosis, is increasingly being linked with bone fractures. There are better ways to build bone strength. Bone is not static like stone as some people think. Bone is constantly breaking down and remodeling. There are specific bone cells which perform each of these functions.
Bone can be weakened in both men and women due to changing hormone levels . Bone can also be weakened in people who have a low body pH, or in other words have systemic acidity. People may have low pH due to poor dietary choices, stress, environmental toxins, and inactivity. Colas will pull calcium from the bone as will all high acid foods like excessive meat, grains, and sugars.
To build healthy bone most people think calcium, especially from dairy. This is not your best choice and especially not from Tums, an antacid that bills itself as a calcium supplement. Calcium is best absorbed in the stomach, which has a normal pH of about 2. That's VERY acid! An anti-acid like Tums is exactly the opposite of what's needed for calcium absorption.
Your best bet to maintain healthy bone is to start off with a good bone mass in adulthood. Do this by weight bearing exercise, even walking. Sleep 7 hours a night. Modify your stress. Eliminate Colas and go easy on your consumption of high acid foods. According to Dr. Balch's Prescription for Nutritional Healing eat plenty of dark leafy greens,broccoli, chestnuts, dandelion greens, flounder, hazelnuts, kale, kelp, molasses, oats, salmon, sardines, sesame seeds, tahini, turnip greens, and wheat germ. Be sure to include food high in sulfur content like garlic, onions, and eggs.
Make sure to take a quality supplement with a wide array of mineral, not just calcium. Your supplement/s should include calcium, magnesium, boron, silica, B Vitamins and Vitamins A, C, D, E, K.
Many calcium supplements are nothing more than chalk also known as calcium carbonate (found in Tums along with neurotoxic aluminum). Stay away from this! I prescribe calcium citrate for patients. One excellent product I use is Osteo-B-Plus from Biotics Labs. This is only available by prescription.

Autism disorder treatment, without medication | KIDK CBS 3 - News, Weather and Sports - Idaho Falls - Pocatello - Blackfoot, ID - Idaho Falls, Pocatello, Blackfoot - Idaho | Local & Regional
This is great stuff! With ADHD patients it's important to check both sides of the brain for function. Since there are two cerebral hemispheres they may be functioning on different levels. If medications are given it will bring total brain activity down. The problem is that it will not only bring down the problem side but it will also bring down the good side. The idea is to increase function of the problem side while maintaining the level of function of the good side. Brilliant! This can be down with exercises specific to the problem side of the brain.

Tremors disappeared after a visit to the chiropractor
NBC NEWS CHANNEL 30 - Another life changed! 3 year-old Tray Wainman was suffering from daily muscle twitches and tremors. The medical doctors have not medical explanation what was wrong with Tray. After a visit to the chiropractor the tremors disappeared. Chiropractors ...work with the nervous system. Chiropractic is based on the premise that the body is a
self-healing and self-regulating organism and the nervous system is the master control of all the systems in the human body. Anything that interferes with normal nerve function, like a subluxation, is bad.
Anything that reduces disturbance in the nervous system, like an adjustment, is good. Chiropractors are the only ones qualified to locate and correct nerve interference.

HOSPITAL acronym for 8 inefficiencies in Healthcare
I created this acronym to help folks in the Healthcare environment recall the 8 inefficiencies that exist in all medical facilities. There are a few medical facilities, such as Miami Children’s Hospital and Baystate Medical that are using this … I’m wondering which others are also using.
We briefly review this during our free Online Healthcare White Belt Program … at www.Lean2020.com I thought I’d share here as well.
H = Halting or waiting. Patients wait in “Waiting Rooms”, doctors and nurses wait for test results, organizations wait for payments … the list goes on.
O = Overproducing. Data is entered in multiple locations/databases, extra tests are performed (defensive medicine), and patient information is written in multiple places.
S = Slips or errors. Miscommunication, medicine errors, data loss/errors
P = Processes which are non value added. Redoing X-Rays or Lab tests, Triage, writing prescriptions.
I = Inventory. Too much inventory is costly, running out causes other issues, too many patients is also a form of inventory.
T = Transportation. Movement of patients from one area to another, chasing approvals (transportation of a requisition), data hand-offs.
A = Action or motion. The physical movement within an area (not moving a patient or thing through the process) … going to make a copy, searching for a patient’s chart, locating supplies or equipment (bed linen, pill crushers, etc.)
L = Lack of employee engagement. Failure to engage the workforce in solving problems. Not educating, including on teams, or soliciting ideas to address issues.
Lean is about identifying, then reducing/eliminating these inefficiencies. I’d welcome feedback and thoughts about this. I’m certain that this group could list many more examples of each of these … finding the issues is a big part of resolving them.

Gut health linked to excessive weight gain during pregnancy
People still don't know what probiotics are. We all know about antibiotics though. So what do those words mean? "Pro" means "for" or "in favor of" and "biotics" comes from "bios" meaning life. Of course we know what "anti" means. We usually take antibiotics when we have a bacterial infection, hence they are against life in order to kill the offending bacteria. On the other side of the coin we have our probiotics, something in favor of life. So what are probiotics? They are essentially "good bugs" that colonize your digestive tract and they're critically important to your health!
About 80% of the immune system is located in the GI tract! Did you know that? Probiotics play a huge role in immunity and detoxification of the body. They can be easily depleted due to taking antibiotics, drinking chlorinated water, stress, poor sleep and dietary habits, and environmental toxins.
Most people today must be on a good probiotic formula in order to recolonize the gut.
In this study pregnant women with good levels of beneficial probiotics gained less weight than those who did not. Those who gained more weight during pregnancy had higher levels of the E. coli, a bacteria abundantly present in feces.

Ritalin Boosts Learning By Increasing Brain Plasticity
Here's an interesting piece of research which seems to fly in the face of all the bad press this drug has received. Increasing brain plasticity is a great goal. Even though Ritalin seemed to help in that regard there are still well known unwanted side effects. Brain plasticity can also be increased by specific exercises and nutrients.

Low levels of vitamin D linked to muscle fat, decreased strength in young people
59% of study subjects were deficient in Vitamin D, which functions more like a hormone than a vitamin. A Vitamin D insufficiency is linked to many diseases. Here is another good reason to get tested for your Vitamin D levels and then do something about it if you find that it's low. The best way to increase your Vitamin D levels is to get some daily sunshine.

A Common Herbicide Turns Some Male Frogs into Females: Scientific American
A Common Herbicide Turns Some Male Frogs into Females: Scientific American
This is very much a human problem. Men and boys are increasingly suffering the effects of estrogenization. Male fertility is declining. 100% of the human population is affected by endogenous toxins. Plastics and a pharmaceutical soup are in our water supplies. The air and soil are also dumped on with hundreds of thousands of tons of chemicals and pollutants every year. The human body often has no way to break these toxins down so they either circulate perpetually or get stuffed in joints and fatty tissue. Think brain problems today. Think about the rise in brain related diseases and breast cancer, both largely fatty tissue. Think cancers and auto-immune diseases.
It is imperative for everyone of us to do whatever we can to detox. Avoid chemicals as best as possible. Look into a detox diet and nutrients.

Suffocating head lice works in new treatment
People have tried many ways to kill head lice including attempted suffocation with various oils like mayonnaise and petroleum oil. Lice are remarkably well equipped to combat this treatment. They simply take a deep breathe and batten down the hatches by closing their spiracles, the entry point to their breathing system. In the meantime they have become resistant to the many drug treatments that have been thrown at them.
But now a new way to suffocate them has been developed and it's 92% effective. Even better it's non-toxic. By using benzyl alcohol lotion stuns the spiracles and prevents them from closing. This allows mineral oil and other ingredients to enter their breathing apparatus and kill them.

New Synthetic Magnesium Supplement Improves Memory And Staves Off Age-Related Memory Loss
Researchers have developed a new form of magnesium. What's so special about it? This one crosses the blood brain barrier, a selective barrier the brain uses to keep certain molecules out. We want magnesium in our brains to promote plasticity and boost brain function. Most of us are magnesium deficient and most magnesium supplements today are not worth much im comparison to this new form.
This new magnesium has not yet hit the market. In the meantime get it the old fashioned way " by eating lots of green leaves, broccoli, almonds, cashews and fruit."

Napping Boosts Brain Power
The researchers found that an hour's nap can dramatically boost and restore brain power: it not only refreshes the mind, but can make you smarter, they suggest.
Napping Boosts Brain Power
I would like to know what their levels of neurotransmitters were before and after the nap. These days we're always pushing ourselves beyond normal limits with not enough sleep and too much stress. Our brains never have an opportunity to rest. This is critical towards good health.

Debug Yourself Naturally
An excellent article on improving your immune system.
Ronald Goldman, MD, co-founder of the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine: "Chronic infection is a vastly underestimated cause of disease and disability. The public needs to be mindful that low-grade infections are estimated to potentially reduce the healthy human lifespan by up to 20 years, robbing them of a lifetime of bountiful energy, productivity, and happiness. Bacteria, fungi, viruses, and parasites may well be the single most important yet undiscovered cause of premature aging and the chronic degenerative disorders of aging that now plague Americans."

Study Links Sugary Soft Drinks to Pancreatic Cancer - Cancer - FOXNews.com
Artificially sweetened diet drinks also raise insulin levels and provoke the pancreas, maybe even more than sugared beverages. Sweeteners like Sucralose are far sweeter than sugar and trigger huge releases of insulin. Insulin, besides regulating blood sugar, also is a fat storage hormone. The more insulin you have in blood circulation the fatter you'll be. That's the cruel joke of "diet" drinks. When was the last time you saw someone lose weight drinking diet soda?

New Treatment For Chronic Pain Condition
Here's a very interesting study involving pain. Patients usually are driven into the office by some sort of pain or discomfort. They often logically ask how long it will be before they feel better. This is difficult to say for me as the doctor for many reasons. Sure I could spit out some statistics but I prefer to view everyone as a unique individual. Everyone will have a different response unique to themselves.
According to this study some pain patients will experience pain so severe after the injury has healed that they request amputation of a limb! And even then the pain does not leave with pain medications being no help either.
This study backs up the most difficult lesson I try to teach my patients. Pain is not an indication of what sort of condition you're in. One could be healed of an injury and be in tremendous pain. Or one could be totally pain free and have an insidious cancer growing inside of them.
What you should be most concerned about is function. To find out how you're functioning you need to work with someone who knows how to evaluate and demonstrate your function to you. This will tell you where you're currently holding and where you might be headed. You will be able to notice immediate differences.
