Synapses In Lab Mice Rejuvenated By Exercise And Caloric Restriction: "- Sent using Google Toolbar"
"Harvard University researchers have uncovered a mechanism through which caloric restriction and exercise delay some of the debilitating effects of aging by rejuvenating connections between nerves and the muscles that they control."
This seems to be the opposite of what most of us are doing. Instead of physical activity and and sensible eating we are sedentary and overeat too often! There goes the brain!

Honey is a sweetener which may actually help with diabetes and obesity. It's already known as an anti-germicidal. Honey found in Egyptian sarcophagi thousands of years old has been found to still be edible.
Date syrup is a sweetener which does not raise blood sugar! Interesting, huh?
The message here is that foods found closer to their natural state are usually better for us. Another message is that if you are already diabetic or borderline this information does not give you the freedom to now go crazy on these sweeteners. You must still be under medical care and incorporate these into your diet under supervision.

So you think, "What can I do? My blood sugar is out of control. My blood pressure is high. My cholesterol is through the roof and my doctor says I can die from a stroke."
You should know there are diet and lifestyle changes that will help reverse these problems. The catch? You have to be involved! You must be in touch with yourself and have the right person coaching and encouraging you along. You have that choice. If you take this route you will be amply rewarded, beyond what you put into it. The right nutrition is powerful medicine without the side effects...like death.
If you take the drug route all you have to do is pop that little pill. The one with the lousy covered up results that will endanger your life.
You also have an opportunity to do a combination of prescription medications and nutritionals. Find a good doctor, one who is not quick to prescribe. Most MDs know little of nutrition. If yours does that's great. More of the younger doctors are getting some of this training. If you like your doctor but he doesn't have much knowledge in this area find a good clinical nutritionist. More and more chiropractors also serve as board certified clinical nutritionists. Check www.CBCN.US for a listing in your area.

Brain Atrophy Responsible For Depression In People Battling Multiple Sclerosis
Brain Atrophy Responsible For Depression In People Battling Multiple Sclerosis: "- Sent using Google Toolbar"
People with MS face an additional challenge of depression brought on by atrophy of the brain's hippocampal region. The hippocampus helps regulate mood and memory.
"The researchers also found a relationship between this atrophy and hyperactivity of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, a complex set of interactions among three glands. The HPA axis is part of the neuroendocrine system that controls reactions to stress and regulates many physiological processes. It's thought that this dysregulation may play a role in the atrophy of the hippocampus and the development of depression."
My question is which came first, the disease or the stress? Many people today suffer from the effects of too much chronic stress from many sources. This is combined with environmental toxicity, poor dietary and sleep habits, a state of chronic dehydration from a lack of drinking adequate water, and a sedentary lifestyle. These factors are a killer. they don't kill right away because the body can put up with a lot. It may take decades but if the person is living this way by the time they've reached their 30s or 40s they are at risk. Remember that dysfunction (those little nagging symptoms) leads to disease! Dis-ease leads to disease.
Is brain atrophy from the MS or was it there before? The brain can atrophy for many reasons. Chronic lack of water, lack of sleep, lack of use, lack of exercise, lack of oxygen, or disease. We all know that muscles atrophy from disuse. Have you ever known someone who had a cast or a stroke? What happened to the muscle on the affected side after not using them for a while? "If you don't use it, you lose it!"
It's not too late for someone diagnosed with MS or any disease to start a healthier lifestyle.
*7 hours sleep
*2-3 liters or 64-80 0z of filtered water per day
*Include fruits and veggies in your diet! Eat plenty of greens!
*Get active, physically and mentally! Walking, swimming, biking, hiking, light weights....reading, chess, learn a new language, etc.
*Acquire a health care team including a M.D. knowledgeable in natural medicine, a clinical nutritionist, a chiropractor, a sports trainer, a massage therapist, and perhaps an acupuncturist

Dark Chocolate Lowers Blood Pressure
Dark chocolate lowers blood pressure, research finds: "- Sent using Google Toolbar"
I'm sure that most of us are now aware of the benefits of dark chocolate in lowering blood pressure. How does this work? Chemicals in dark chocolate called flavonols help produce nitric oxide which causes vasodilation of blood vessels. A relaxed blood vessel has better blood flow. Theoretically this would also help men who have ED.
This article does not say how much dark chocolate must be consumed, but that consumption can lead to as much as a 5mm Hg systolic decrease leading to "and could theoretically reduce the risk of a cardiovascular event by about 20% over five years."
Textbook normal BP is 120/80. Now that has changed. The new norm is less than 120/80. 120/80 is now considered to be pre-hypertensive.

Why Mercury Is More Dangerous in Oceans
Why mercury is more dangerous in oceans: "- Sent using Google Toolbar"
This finally answers a question people ask all the time about the dangers of eating fish. Is is safe to eat fish if there is a suspicion of mercury in the water?
Here is the article broken down for you. Freshwater contains higher levels of mercury than seawater. But the mercury in freshwater is also less toxic since it more readily undergoes chemical conversion to a safer form of mercury. The mercury in seawater is in a lower concentration but it remains more toxic because it bonds to the salt in the water and remains in it's more dangerous form.
Therefore marine fish like tuna, mackerel and shark, are generally more laden with toxic mercury than are freshwater fish and are more dangerous to eat.
There is still a theory that the mercury in large ocean fish is bound tightly to the proteins and will therefore not be bio-available to the person eating it, thus making it safer to eat.
When eating large marine fish proceed with question. Even though they are inherently healthy they come with their share of toxins. This brings be back to my big point. Everyone of us must make detoxing a priority in this day and age.

Facebook | The Integrative Health Center: Trust Your Doctor
Facebook | The Integrative Health Center: Trust Your Doctor: "You pick a Doctor, and trust him or her, precisely because you have not gone to medical school. And if you indeed do not trust your Doctor, or think you know better , do yourself and the Dr. a favor--go away, and find another Doctor.
Because if you do not trust him , if you think he is not knowledgeable enough , or that he has an agenda (such as money or kavod)--well , as Moshe Rabeinu put it—“Ribbono shel Olom: This won't work.” Because you will find 101 things to complain about , nothing he does will satisfy you , you will kvetch and complain about how he treats you--because you are missing the basic element of trust. You don't trust him.
By Rabbi Chaim Malinowitz - with permission from the ‘Chadash’ Beit Shemesh Weekly
Yes, maybe he has to earn your trust--that's ok. And yes, he should allow you to ask questions , and he should answer your questions as best as he can , and explain as much as he can. And yes --very
important-- part of trust is that you trust him to admit when he doesn't know something ,and will consult with a more expert doctor and find out the answer for you. But certainly expect that at some
point , he's going to turn to you and say--Sir, Madam, I went to medical school, spent years and tears (EDITOR---THIS IS NOT A TYPO!!) studying and interning--trust me , or , find a Doctor whom you will
trust.
And when you find a Doctor whom you trust--you will trust him with all your medical issues.You will ask him which is surgeons you can trust , which pharmacy you should use---all your medical questions
will go to him.He will answer you,or he will refer you to someone who knows the answer.You are secure-you trust him. And if you don't---it won't work, just go away. The foundation of the relationship must be one of trust.
And why have medical referral services sprouted? Because the world of medicine has grown by leaps and bounds, there are specialists for just about every limb and every illness imaginable ; we intuit that our doctor can't keep up with all that knowledge , and the reality is also that trust between patient and Doctor has broken down (thanks to the world of medical insurance), and most people have never had the experience of a true 'family Doctor' who knows them, they know him, and they simply trust him.
Excerpted from http://groups.google.com/group/jerusalemkosher/browse_thread/thread/dd6ac466cc22b1e3#
The chiropractor is the doctor of the past and the future, the one who takes the time to listen, and explains what might be the problem. That future is now.

Just like cortisol and other hormones have a normal cycle, so does insulin. With cortisol testing we now take four samples over the course of the day and compare the results to the normal curve. From this information the doctor can prescribe the correct nutrients to normalize function at the precise time of day the body needs it.
The standard method of testing is with a single blood test after a 12 hour fast. That's OK but limited. That's like taking a snapshot. It's static. Hormonal cycles are dynamic. The four sample test is also dynamic and gives a far more accurate picture of what really is going on.

Why Chiropractic & Why The Integrative Health Center
You have many health care options. First of course is the care provided by the excellent doctors at the various Kupot Cholim. After that it becomes a blur for many. There are many alternative therapies, all of which are provided by some very talented and caring people who deliver effective care.
In most people's minds the medical doctor is thought of as "the doctor", the one with the highest level of education, and they have certainly earned that reputation.
What about the chiropractor? He also uses the title doctor as conferred by his degree. Is the chiropractor a "real" doctor? Take a look at this link
from my website comparing medical school to chiropractic school:
http://drrosenberg.net/
As you can see chiropractic education is very similar to medical education. Each has a different emphasis. MDs get more training in pharmacology, immunology, general surgery, pathology, and other areas specific to the care they provide. DCs get more training in anatomy, physiology, neurology, and orthopedics.
Chiropractic is no longer "alternative" care. It is complementary care.
The chiropractor is the one most like your MD in level of education! He is highly educated and qualified to be on your health care team as an expert in spinal hygiene, posture & ergonomics, neuromusculoskeletal problems, injuries due to sports or accidents, and nutritional issues.
Why The Integrative Health Center? Top 10 reasons:
*Advanced post grad training in neurology and nutrition
*Offering a wide variety of modalities
*Regular spinal manipulation & gentle techniques
*Treat the person and not the problem!
*10 years experience
*Worked with many MDs and can communicate with your doctor
*Reasonably priced expert level service
*Gives you the time you need
*What I do is fun!
*Bottom line: Great results! Ask my patients! http://drrosenberg.net/whatourpatientssay.aspx
Be well & be healthy!

DCs get more training in anatomy, physiology, neurology, and orthopedics.
Chiropractic is no longer "alternative" care. It is complementary care.
The chiropractor is the one most like your MD in level of education! He is highly educated and qualified to be on your health care team as an expert in spinal hygiene, posture & ergonomics, neuromusculoskeletal problems, injuries due to sports or accidents, and nutritional issues.
Why The Integrative Health Center? Top 10 reasons:
*Advanced post grad training in neurology and nutrition
*Offering a wide variety of modalities
*Regular spinal manipulation & gentle techniques
*Treat the person and not the problem!
*10 years experience
*Worked with many MDs and can communicate with your doctor
*Reasonably priced expert level service
*Gives you the time you need
*What I do is fun!
*Bottom line: Great results! Ask my patients! http://drrosenberg.net/whatourpatientssay.aspx

Overtreating earliest cancers — but which ones? - Yahoo! News
Overtreating earliest cancers — but which ones? - Yahoo! News: "specialists say more tumors actually are being found too early.
"...specialists say more tumors actually are being found too early."
How can a tumor be found "too early"? Wouldn't you want to know about it as soon as possible?
Many people develop some cancerous cells throughout their lives at some point and never know about it. The immune system does its job. If early detection reveals cancer, all the better. Appropriate treatment can be started including lifestyle changes and nutritional advice. A measurement of salivary pH is a must and will almost certainly reveal a very high acid/low pH level. Cancers love this acidity and they help create it. A detox program is a must!
Early detection is the best detection!

Middle-Aged Men Lose Testosterone and Sleep: "- Sent using Google Toolbar"
There is a whole neuro-endocrine circuit at work here. Natural aging decreases testosterone. But when we pile on stress and unhealthy habits the problem is compounded exponentially. Testosterone levels can be normalized and even enhanced with natural nutritional methods. Stress management and sleep hygiene must be enforced to normalize the body clock.
Middle aged men who have spent years being sleep deprived and over stressed will begin to experience decrease of muscle mass, increase of fat especially around the middle, an increase in pains, decreased brain function, increased risk of diabetes and heart disease, and increase in blood pressure, and decreased libido and ability to perform sexually. Not a pretty picture. They present to my office usually when they hit a wall and cannot function any more.
All of this is not normal aging! It is the body breaking down after years of abuse. It DOES NOT have to be this way. My suggestions:
7 hours sleep in a dark room
Bedroom should be only for sleeping and sex, no eating!
No eating withing 2 hours of bed
Drink 64-80 oz/2-3 L of water every day, this excludes any other drinks
No diet anything foods or drinks with artificial sweeteners
Eat your fruits & veggies! Lean protein OK, reduce or eliminate simple carbs....white flour & sugar
Get at least a multi-vitamin for your nutritional deficiencies
There's more but this is a good start!
Get an endocrine panel done...brain chemicals, testosterone, cortisol, thyroid, etc.
Get a checkup every year!
Once you establish the state of your internal health you can begin to take specific measure to improve and correct the situation! Are you really living? Or are those little nagging things becoming more frequent? Listen to them and do something about it!

Depressed Mood Increases The Perception Of Pain
Depressed Mood Increases The Perception Of Pain: "- Sent using Google Toolbar"
Oh wow, this is really fascinating! Researchers have linked depressed moods with an increased perception of pain in the body. I've been working with a combination of techniques that verify this and work very powerfully to decrease pain and negative moods and emotions. Patients can see and feel the results right away, even during the treatment itself. So much of body pain is induced by stress and negative emotions. Of course we have always known of the mind body connection, but now we have a little more evidence.
One patient came in with his neck flexed forward and completely stuck. He was unable to move a drop in any direction. He was in fear as well, and understandably so.
I quickly realized that I would be unable to give him a neck adjustment so I laid him down on his belly and did some gentle stretches. When I finished he was actually worse and fighting back tears. I considered sending him to the ER.
I decided to try this new approach for the first time. Earlier I established with him that he had no particular stress in his life. Happy marriage, great kids, and his own business in the creative arts which he enjoyed.
I got to work and started asking him about past experiences. It turns out that as a soldier he had to kill two people about to perpetrate a terrorist attack on a beach. This was some 2o years ago. When this was revealed I had him contact the emotional point on his forehead and his neck at the same time. While he was doing this I held a bottle of oil of Frankincense/Levonah/Boswellia under his nose as he inhaled deeply.
When Frankincense is inhaled it hits the olfactory bulb of the brain and triggers the brain to produce powerful anti-anxiety/depression medications. Natural medications with no side effects!
In two treatments this person's pain and stiffness completely disappeared. I was as shocked as he was and almost as happy. All of this was done without a chiropractic adjustment. Now he comes in for regular adjustments to maintain his status.

66 Million Deadly Medication Mistakes
Medicine - Jones & Bartlett Learning: "- Sent using Google Toolbar"
Do you take medications? Probably so.
Listen to this. Last year there were "more than 66 million drug mistakes a year. Of those, about 325,000 are wrong-drug errors serious enough to cause potential harm to patients, including long-lasting injury or death. That equates to at least 1 death per day due to a medication error."
Be very careful. It's better in most cases to consider natural medicine first. That doesn't mean to the exclusion of a visit to the family doctor, but when he wants to put you on a medication it might be best to ask about alternatives such as diet, exercise, and other lifestyle modifications.
Consider acupuncture, nutrition, and chiropractic. These days it helps to have a team of healthcare providers. Don't exclude the M.D., just start thinking about including natural medicine in your healthcare arsenal.

Resistance Training Improves Flexibility, Too
Resistance Training Improves Flexibility, Too: "- Sent using Google Toolbar"
Flexibility is an extremely important component of health. How many of us can bend and touch our toes? Or raise our leg straight up when lying on our backs?
Many of us sit all day, and in an ergonomically incorrect fashion. This tightens the hamstrings, draws in the shoulders, and causes the head to move forward all leading to increased postural deformities. Canadian scientist Hans Selye said, "Postural deformities are the beginning of the disease process." We need to take this seriously guys!

Adrenal Recovery Soup Recipe
In today's world people are facing a multi-pronged stress attack, taxing the adrenal glands. Many people just feel burned out. Tired when they wake and they catch a second wind sometime after dinner, but exhausted so much of the time they don't know what normal energy should feel like anymore.
The adrenal glands are two small glands that sit on top of the kidneys. One of their most important jobs is to help you respond to stress. Some stress, in fact is normal and healthy. Most people however are under stress from many sources; poor dietary habits, dehydration, lack of sufficient sleep, environmental pollution, personal issues, job related stress, etc.
Here is a soup recipe that does its part to help restore adrenal function. Enjoy!
A vegetable soup recipe that has proven helpful in restoring adrenal function. This high energy soup called “Taz” comes from Dolores S. Downey’s “Balancing Body Chemistry with Nutrition” seminars.

Cows get injected with growth hormones eat grain based diets instead of their natural grass and plant based diets. Farmers even put ground up animals and fecal in the feed. Think Mad Cow disease!

An 88 year old woman ate 2-3 pounds of the vegetable bok choy every day for several months and was admitted to the hospital nearly comatose "unable to walk or swallow and barely able to breathe." She thought it would help her diabetic condition but as it turns out bok choy inhibits thyroid function and she already had and underactive thyroid. The thyroid is a master gland and it's function is critical to much of the body.
The take home of this story is that:
1) food and nutrients have a powerful effect on the body.
2)everything in moderation
3)check with a doctor before reading something and putting yourself on a program
How does anyone eat 3 pounds of veggies a day, much less an 88 year old woman? Was she eating anything else??

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."
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.

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.

'Autism Diet' May Not Improve Symptoms
'Autism Diet' May Not Improve Symptoms: "- Sent using Google Toolbar"
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.

Study finds no link in cell phone use, brain tumors - CNN.com
Study finds no link in cell phone use, brain tumors - CNN.com
This study was partially funded by the cell phone industry. Does that affect it's veracity? What about the other studies that do show a link between cell phone use and brain tumors? It's better to err on the side of safety. Limit cell phone use, do not hold it to your ear, use the speakerphone or an airtube, and don't let kids anywhere near them.

Back Pain Relief :Ways to Relieve Pain Without Surgery
Failed low back surgery is actually a medical diagnosis. I've had patients with this very unfortunate problem and have been able to offer a measure of relief. The total damage cannot be undone. Watch this video for very good advice. Ask your doctor pointed questions and get other opinions. Do not be afraid of hurting the doctor's feelings! He should welcome and suggest that you get other opinions. Most importantly do everything you can to avoid surgery first! A chiropractor, especially one specializing in neurology, offers an expert opinion.

BBC News - Meningitis C vaccine 'wears off in early teens'
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?
