We Met The Vancouver Canucks Green Men!
As some of you may know, my family loves hockey. I was fortunate enough to have a dad who purchased a couple of front row seats to Game 5 of the Canucks/Nashville series. It was my first NHL in 5 year, so it was a blast sitting in such amazing seats. The fact that we sat 5 seats away from the Green Men, Force & Sully was also excellent. I was surprised how quiet they were during the play. You would expect them being complete morons the entire game if you were to listen to Glen Healy, but they couldn’t be better fans. It seemed...
read moreEven More Concerns About Mercury in Dentistry
Mike Adams, editor at Naturalnews.com, just posted another fantastic article about the continued use of mercury in dentistry, and the unwavering support of the FDA, AMA, and the top officials in dentistry. Mr. Adams concludes that the use and support of mercury amalgams really comes down to a money issue, as the substance is extremely cheap. While I don’t seem to run into too many youngsters with “silver fillings” which seemed to be the norm growing up, I do find it startling that mercury is a component in any type of health...
read moreOur Fixation On Getting Fixed
One of the biggest concepts that I take for granted being a chiropractor is the fact that I am never looking for the next health “fix.” It is not because I don’t understand the concept, or haven’t been ingrained with the same commercials and media that everyone else has. In fact, I often have to fight the idea, so I know many others must be struggling with it as well. Thanks to Dr. Brandie Nemchenko, a King of Prussia Chiropractor, I was reminded of how damaging this idea of “fixing” our health problems...
read moreCommon Meds Linked to Hearing Loss According Denver Chiropractor
An amazing thing happened today. I actually found a moment to read through some of my friends and colleagues blogs, after months of adjusting to life with two children. While we don’t have it down pat yet, we are getting there and enjoying every minute of it. As most of you know, the chiropractic profession was not founded due to neck pain, back pain, or headaches. Chiropractic was born via a cervical adjustment delivered to Harvey Lillard, by D.D. Palmer in hopes of restoring Mr. Lillard’s hearing. The process was a success,...
read morePfizer Recommends Seeing a Chiropractor?
If you don’t already subscribe to Dr. Gerry Clum’s, The Latest Stuff From Gerry, you’re missing out on these chiropractic gems. It was brought to Dr. Clum’s attention that the pharmaceutical drug company Pfizer has been recommending that seeing a chiropractor is a vital part of treatment for Parkinson’s disease. Chiropractic and the Alexander Technique, which will also be helpful to many patients. Kudos to Pfizer. I cannot guarantee that I won’t criticize you in the future, but it is nice to see a large...
read moreCholesterol Drugs Help 1 out of 100 Users
Just another reason why people should question what they are told by commercials and the pharmaceutical companies that produce them. Not only do the statin drugs prescribed to lower “bad” cholesterol have serious side effects, the drugs may only have an effect in 1 out of 100 users. It would be extremely interesting to see the double blind study on the short and long term health results of the 99 users that the drugs had no beneficial effect. The fact that drug companies are now targeting children with these same drugs is even...
read moreMiracle or Anecdotal: Chiropractor Helps Child After Head Trauma
If I was to choose one thing that bothers me the most about being a chiropractor, it would be the amount of times I have heard the term “anecdotal”. As in anecdotal evidence. For those of you familiar with this term, it is an easy way for a person to discount the effect of a chiropractic adjustment on the body. It also removed credit from the potential that the body can heal itself. The video above is a prime example of what would be considered anecdotal evidence of the effect of chiropractic. Naysayers would simply chalk up...
read moreSeattle Chiropractor Discusses America’s Obesity Epidemic
Thanks to chiropractic researcher, Dr. Gregory Plaugher, I became aware of a recent review of U.S. government’s decision to decrease the obesity epidemic in America. As a Seattle Chiropractor I do see this issue in Washington State, but notice it so much more whenever I travel to other cities. According to the Centers of Disease Control and prevention, the adult obesity rate in the 1960′s was 13%. As of 1999 that number rose substantially to 30%, and have no doubt risen since. Unfortunately, the health objectives set forth by...
read more94 Year old Chiropractor, Jack Lalanne at the top of his game
Jack Lalanne really is an inspiration. I only found out he was a chiropractor a few years ago, when he was on the cover of a magazine. Here he is hamming it up and speaking truth about nutrition: I saw him receive an award on ESPN a few years ago, I believe it was during the Arnold Classic bodybuilding competition. I had no idea what he was going to say in his speech, but I couldn’t believe it considering who the sponsors and television advertisers were. Joe Weider and EAS, both popular supplement makers, were the sponsors of the...
read moreBrand New Seattle Chiropractic P90X Challenge
Boy, what a terrible yet fantastic years 2009 and 2010 have been. I have been off the radar for much of 2010: No exercise, No sleep, No blog updates, and plenty of excuses. Here are just a few: Starting in August of 2009 I was punched in the nose during a hockey skirmish. I attempted to shrug off the stuffed up aftermath, and went ahead with my life. Within a couple of weeks I was dealing with my first ever sinus infection. I attempted my P90X challenge in the midst of it, but my body quickly began a decline I couldn’t figure out. ...
