A recent study says fish oil "causes prostate cancer." I find this a ridiculous statement. What will they conjure up next? Maybe that organic vegetables cause pimples? Dozens of previous studies have shown fish oil decreased risk of prostate cancer and this “thing” wasn’t even a randomized, controlled study. The men in the “study” hadn’t been taking fish oil but [...]
Saturday evening I went to a fun event sponsored by the Slow Food Group which promotes local, organic food cooked slowly and eaten joyfully. At the event, I met many organic farmers who are desperately concerned about GMOs. They realize that this practice may forever ruin our food supply. So what are GMOs? A genetically engineered food [...]
Central Ohio is full of pollen and pollutants – both cause itchy red eyes, a runny nose and inability to enjoy the finally decent weather. What are the normal solutions? Well as always drugs – anti-histamines and decongestants that either put us to sleep or hype us up and so out of it we don’t really care. Or weekly [...]
Are you old enough to remember Suzanne Powter – that crazy blond women who had some weight loss scheme and used to scream “STOP THE INSANITY”? This is how I feel everyday – no not the spikey hair but the sentiment. We have lost our minds. We pay more for healthcare than any other nation yet our [...]
The American Psychiatric Association needs to STOP THE INSANITY! They admit there is no research but have now classified more everyday behaviors as pathological (so more drugs can be developed to treat). Yeah more drugs!!

Do you have a wellness program at work? Is it being run by an insurance company or hospital? If it is, then it probably isn’t about wellness but illness because that is their focus. Our focus is not covering up your ache or pain with a pill or getting you started on drugs but about helping you feel [...]
What happens when the oil light or the check engine light turns on in your car? If the mechanic tells you there is a quick cheap fix for it and offers to turn off the light, would you do that? NO- of course not – we know the car has an intelligence system and it is using [...]
Everyone calls this season “Cold and Flu” season. Although we are inside more, viruses don’t suddenly appear or become more virulent in the fall and winter. It is more likely that our immune systems have a harder time fighting off infections at this time of year; mainly because our Vitamin D levels are at their lowest. Vitamin [...]
Last week we talked about how important Vitamin D is for your immune system. Let’s talk about another important way to keep your immune system strong – chiropractic adjustments. Yes – chiropractic adjustments. Numerous studies show that immune cells increase in number and effectiveness following a spinal adjustment. In these studies, blood is drawn before the adjustment [...]
December and the whole holiday season is synonymous with giving. Whether it is presents for the kids, bonuses for employees, homemade treats for the neighbors, toys for tots or food for the needy, we are all in the giving mode. But what about receiving? Most of us feel uncomfortable about receiving. Whether it is a lavish gift, [...]
