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!! By redefining : grief, gluttony, distractibility ,worry, stress, memory lapses and crabbiness in kids as illnesses or pathological, the door is wide [...]
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.

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.

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, [...]
The media will hype both of these illnesses, continually milking them for all they can. Fear is a big ratings builder! When questioning the "specialists," their only answer is to spend billions on either a drug or vaccine that will "save" you. Do you really want to be a guinea pig on a drug that is rushed [...]
I keep reading about the right to health care. Of course health in our current system is not caring for our health at all but rather managing disease. But with all rights come responsibilities. Somehow we have gotten the idea that health care should be free, available to all, quick and easy. Seriously – where did we [...]
There are two huge billboards on Rt. 315 by Ohio Health saying they only do spinal surgery when necessary. Their idea of necessary and mine are very different.
