Heading to the Standard Process Farm

May 16-19, 2013, my assistant Melissa and I head to Wisconsin to visit the famous Standard Process organic farm! It will be great to see for ourselves how they grow the beets, kale, brussel sprouts and more that go into their whole-food supplements. We’ll find out how 25 pounds of produce get condensed down to fit into one small glass bottle. What we like about Standard Process is this:...

You can Beet it! Chiropractic and Nutrition

Over here at Chiropractic Advantage, chiropractic and nutrition are the big topics of conversation. We’re always trying to get people to eat their vegetables. And we don’t mean two or three sprigs of broccoli. We are hoping you’re going to go for the Full Monty and have some cauliflower, kale, collards, brussel sprouts and beets! I don’t intend to try convincing you of the nutritional benefits of the beet...

Thanks for 2012

On my way to work today, I found myself wishing 2012 was not coming to an end! It was a great year for many of the patients who come to see me at Chiropractic Advantage. There were people who got off painkillers. Some got away from taking antibiotics every time something wasn’t right. Others found out they could feel much better by changing their diet. The lady who made...

You’ve been good and you’ve already put some new lifestyle changes in place this year that you’ll follow through with in 2013.

A Pain in the Arsenic

Recently there’s been some warnings in the news that rice may contain excess arsenic. Would you like to know how it got there? It’s the chicken. As you might have heard from me previously, I am not a fan of our patients eating industrially-raised chicken. In Dr. Gregor’s video here, he explains how chickens are fed arsenic to kill parasites. Later, the chicken by-products find their way into fertilizers...

Chronic Constipation–Medical Breakthroughs and Chiropractic Common Sense

LOL, I recently read an article on Medscape, a well-respected online medical educational site, about chronic constipation. Here’s the synopsis of the article: a lot of people get constipated. They try home remedies such as water and fiber supplements. When that doesn’t help, medical doctors want to know what else they can do besides prescribing polyethylene glycol, which can help temporarily by inducing diarrhea. One new medical breakthrough is...

Eating to Cure Multiple Sclerosis–Healthy Nutrition

What if…you found your way out of your wheelchair by eating healthy food? That’s exactly what happened for Dr. Terry Wahls, who describes her quest to recover from multiple sclerosis in the above video. Since making this video, she’s gone on to do clinical trials involving diet and multiple sclerosis. The results of her trials were, in her words, “amazing.” We’re reaching a tipping point today in terms of...

Headaches? Joint Pain? Make a Juice Garden Run and ask for “Vampiro”

Back when I worked in retail, a co-worker announced one day that he was making a run to Oki Dog, and would anyone like him to pick up something? Sure, I said, still innocent at that point of the fact that an Oki Dog contained two hot dogs, pastrami, chili beans, and melted cheese inside a giant flour tortilla. My usual diet being mostly coffee and Cheetos at that...

Expensive Vitamins

For the past 20 years, my parents have consistently taken the vitamins and other supplements I have provided them.  So far, so good! My mother, who was born in 1936, takes no medicines–the doctors can’t find anything wrong with her.  She once had osteoporosis, but she was able to regain her bone density naturally by taking Metagenics Cal Apatite Forte bone supplement and following the McDougall diet.  Recently I...
