Chiropractic & Mental Health: The Story of Jeff I had just opened my first office on a shoe string and was having my starvation period. I lectured to everyone, gave out cards on the street, advertised as much as I could afford and ever so slowly my practice began to grow. At this point, mental health wasn’t on my mind. I was able to avoid a real starvation period when the local pizza guy became…

My Brother’s Asthma Attacks I remember it well. The heavy wheezing, laboring for every breath, concerned voices, phone calls in the middle of the night, rushing to the hospital. My youngest brother, David, was having an asthma attack. My parents returned home with him after he got emergency medications. Few people had asthma then, but that was changing. Soon millions of families would experience that terror. According to WHO (World Health Organization) estimates, 235 million…

The Perfect Diet for Humanity: Part 2 The “Charles Darwin” of Nutrition In our previous post about nutrition we were introduced to Weston A. Price who, with his wife Florence, traveled extensively in the 1930s to examine the health of native populations in isolated parts of the world that still were largely untouched by modern conveniences and foods and most importantly, still ate traditional foods.   Being a dentist, Dr. Price knew how the teeth,…

The Perfect Diet for Humanity: Part 1 For Me It Began with A Simple Question Is there a perfect diet for humanity? How can we find it if it exists? I’m sitting in my dentist’s office and wondering, “Why do so many people need their wisdom teeth removed today?” My parents didn’t have their wisdom teeth removed. My grandparents kept theirs. Why suddenly do we have a generation where their teeth don’t fit in their…

Chickenpox parties and, “Can I watch TV now?” We brought our kids to a chickenpox party. This is how it works: someone’s child has chickenpox and they invite people to bring their kids. So, off we went with our children, Seth, then 11, and Shayna, then 7, to the party. Why would we do such a thing? For a very good reason. The children get chickenpox now, at an age when they are supposed to…

Want to have healthy grandchildren tomorrow? Don’t vaccinate your child today. During my talks on vaccination, I’ll ask the audience, “Why are they called childhood diseases?” People wonder if it’s a trick question. It isn’t. We call them childhood diseases because you usually get them during childhood. That’s why they aren’t called newborn or infant or adult diseases. That’s the way nature intended it because at that age the person is best able to recover…

An Accidental Discovery “Can you help me?” A doctor asked. I could barely hear him, he spoke in a whisper. “What?” I said. “Can you help me?” “Why are we whispering? That is, why are we whispering?” Leaning in so I wouldn’t miss a word, he told me his story: Thirty-five years ago, my brothers and I were horsing around and my oldest brother put me in a head lock. I don’t know what happened…

Lahnstein, Germany: emu-Verlag,1994:297. 1.

Measles is a mostly benign condition that leaves a healthier child in its wake. Deaths from measles had almost completely disappeared before the vaccine was in mass usage. A vaccine was never needed and is unsafe. Here are 6 measles myths you need to know! 1. Myth: Measles is a dangerous disease.     Fact: Measles is mostly harmless.  Measles is a short-lived viral infection that begins with a fever that lasts for a couple of…

What cancer is more frightening than brain cancer? How did it get there? What do you do to address it? Sen. John McCain of Arizona was diagnosed with a mass of abnormal cells growing in his brain – a brain tumor. His type of tumor, a glioblastoma, is considered the most dangerous because it is aggressive. About 12,400 Americans each year are diagnosed with it. Survival in Months Because it is such a deadly tumor,…
