Office hours will be different the next couple of weeks as I will be out of the office. Dr. Pearson will be covering the office Friday and multiple days next week. I will be working today and tomorrow and will be back seeing patients on 12/23 and in the mornings of 12/24 and 12/26. Massage services will continue daily while I'm gone and are an amazing stocking stuffer (hint, hint, hint). Merry Christmas everyone!

Went down the salt rabbit hole today. Salt is very important to our health and please don't believe the low sodium diet nonsense. Reduction on those diets reduces blood pressure by less than 1% but causes other health issues. A study of 181 countries found countries with lower salt consumption have shorter life expectancies. Chronic sodium depletion has been linked to fatigue, dizziness and insomnia and unfortunately leads to hyponatremia and an increase risk of death.

Unfortunately we have also contaminated our salt sources and I was a bit shocked to find testing earlier this year demonstrated lead and mercury contamination in Morton Salt. A 2018 study documented that 36 out of 39 brands of sea salts had microplastics contamination. Consider using Redmond, Maldon and if you want fancy, Hawaiian Sea Salts. You can apply to food, but consider putting a pinch in a glass of water and just drink it.

Stay salty my friends!

Excited to offer Incrediwear here at the office! The technology is just amazing and effective. The germanium, a semiconductor, releases electrons when heated by the body. This creates increased blood flow to the region by 22%, cutting pain levels in half. As always, we’ll have the best prices. 🤫

Welp, sorry fellas. The next generation of women are possibly going to get crazier, but it's going to be your fault. Male Covid infected mice produced higher anxiety female offspring due to alteration of the RNA in their s***m. The good news? It only showed significant in one generation. So there's hope. It'll be back to the normal levels of crazy after that. lol

Whether paternal pre-conceptual SARS-CoV-2 infection impacts s***m RNA content, or effects offspring phenotypes, has not been previously investigated. Here authors report changes in s***m noncoding RNAs in SARS-CoV-2 infected sires and increased anxiety-like behaviors in offspring.

I have a couple of patients that are battling breast cancer and there are studies showing dose dependent responses to vitamin D on chemotherapy treatments. One researcher recommended pushing vitamin D levels over 100 ng/ml for those battling cancer. I HIGHLY recommend getting your vitamin D levels checked every year as it will wane as your body ages. Those with higher vitamin D levels were more likely to have complete resolution and better long term outcomes. I might extrapolate the data and say you'd be less likely to get cancer in the first place if the immune system were working properly and not compromised by a vitamin D deficiency. We have liquid D3 in the office. It's easy to do every day!

1 year follow up data from 8.4 Million Covid vaccinated Koreans:
-Increases in thyroid, gastric, colorectal, lung, breast and prostate cancer.
-For mRNA vaccines specifically (Pfizer, Moderna), increases in thyroid, colorectal, lung and breast cancers
-For heterologous vaccines (JNJ), increases in thyroid and breast cancers
-For males, more vulnerable to gastric and lung cancers
-For females, more vulnerable to thyroid and colorectal cancers
-For those under 65, more vulnerable to thyroid and breast cancers
-Boosters increased gastric and pancreatic cancer risks

I’m seeing a lot of ignorant comments about the warning coming out about Tylenol during pregnancy causing the children to become autistic or developing ADHD. The correlation is real and anyone arguing that hasn’t read the studies or are a pharmaceutical shill. Isn’t it prudent, given the data that we already have, to do further studies before we potentially harm more children???

To every pediatrician that mandated complete vaccine compliance, otherwise patients were dismissed from your practice, blood is on your hands.

• The Hepatitis B birth dose increases autism risk (Gallagher & Goodman).
• Vaccination increases odds of autism by at least 4.2x (Mawson).
• Preterm birth + vaccination increases neurodevelopmental disability by over 12x.
• Vaccination + no breastfeeding increases risk 12.5x. Vaccination + C-section increases risk 18.7x (Ho**er & Miller, 2021).

Go ahead and skip this post if you don't want to hear my usual rant about patients not receiving proper chiropractic care. It's just soooo damn frustrating to watch people not get the help they're paying for.

New patient on Monday, who was treated for over 3 months at a chiropractor down the road, following being the victim of an MVA. Patient left in worse pain after every visit and it took her 3 days to recover from each session. The chiropractor also chose to ignore the poor healing of the massive hematoma (bad bruise) to her lower leg. No referrals out. No soft tissue work. Nada. Again, and you've heard this before, she picked the close chiropractor, that sent her to the close attorney, but that's a topic for another day.

Today, she reported relief after the one adjustment, had no soreness from treatment, and pain was gone. She was also able to double the length of her walk with her son yesterday. I was able to get her lower back to move even better today now that we were able to get the inflammation down. (The other DC could never get anything to "pop" for 3 months, but I'm sure didn't miss running up her bill)

Real chiropractic is an athletic event. If you consider baseball, only 1-2% of college baseball players ever make the MLB. Now apply that thought to chiropractic.

As many of you know, I like to fish. Admittedly, I was sliding out early Thursday to do so when I received a call. A patient leaving from a neurosurgeon’s appointment who I’ll leave nameless. The patient was experiencing shooting pain 9-10/10 down his right arm. Neuro surgeon never examined the patient and stated they’d get an MRI and schedule surgery. Luckily the spouse had been watching Gonstead videos and found me. I stayed late and did my neuro examination and recognized there were no motor or reflexive changes, which is a good sign that if we could get the patient out of pain, no surgery would likely be required. His ER CT did show some compression at C5/C6 and I am pretty sure that’s all the neurosurgeon looked at. We did our normal Gonstead evaluation including X-rays and did a full spine work up. The patient had never seen a chiropractor before. On the adjustments to lower back he started laughing. He didn’t even realize how bad that was. When I adjusted his T6 a lightning bolt feel went down his right arm. There’s something called T4 syndrome that I’ll let you research, but it goes to show, you can’t just trust imaging. I followed up Friday and patient’s pain had reduced to 3-4/10 in one day. I made another friend and still caught a couple of keepers that night too!
