DID YOU HAVE AN MRI FOR LOW BACK PAIN?
There are definitely times when knowing less is a good thing. It occasionally happens where a patient who has signs and symptoms of a disc herniation presents to our office. Based on an exam and the history given by the…

STRESS PASSED FROM THE FATHER?
Wow! This article just floored me. Had to read it several times just to make sure I got it straight. We know that a pregnant mom’s stress levels actually affect the unborn child’s ability to deal with stress after the…

BUT CHIROPRACTORS WANT YOU TO COME BACK IN FOREVER…
As a chiropractor, I obviously have an opinion on this one. My profession has had a tendency to get dirt flung at it in the past. We’ve always been treated as the red headed stepchild of healthcare despite very strong…

MORE EVIDENCE THAT INSULIN CONTRIBUTES TO DIABETES
When it comes to hormones, there are levels that are optimal and levels that wreak havoc. Certainly insulin falls into this category. This is confirmed by the ACCORD trials, where diabetics used insulin more…

ANOTHER NAIL IN THE COFFIN OF MAMMOGRAPHY?
Talk about an emotionally charged topic. I’ve certainly addressed this in recent posts, but I’m going to add further evidence supporting the idea that mammography has little effect on breast cancer outcomes. This…

BRESTFEEDING STILL NOT SUPPORTED IN HOSPITALS
I think we’ve long gone past the acceptance that nothing is better for the baby than breastmilk. For many years, those groups such as the La Leche League were ostracized and viewed as crazy people. Fast forward decades…

CHICKEN POX VACCINE IS AWESOME!!
This particular review looks at just how incredibly effective the chicken pox vaccine has been for our children. The rates since 1995, when the vaccine was first introduced, have dropped dramatically (88% overall)…

THE HOSPITALIST MOVEMENT–IS IT GOOD?
Some time a few years back, there was a migration of primary care doctors and internists into the hospital setting to provide “hospitalist” care. I think many of these were fed up with private practice and insurance…

BUT I EXERCISE…
We certainly live in a society that is supportive of physical activity, whether or not we are actually active or not. Heck–Ronald McDonald promotes physical activity. There are “get out and play” campaigns endorsed…

LUNG CANCER RISKS FOR NON-SMOKERS
I recently had a short discussion with an old high school friend who was raising money for a national lung cancer advocacy group. The initiating connection was that another high school friend had been diagnosed with…

WHY YOU SHOULD EAT BROCCOLI WITH YOUR FISH
Many people consume fish because of the mistaken idea that it is good for you. While this can be true, in many situations this is just not the case. There are several concerns when it comes to fish intake that you need…

DID LIPITOR LOWER YOUR CHOLESTEROL?
If you took a statin and it lowered your cholesterol, my first response would be “So what?” What does that REALLY mean? And does anyone really give a squat about their cholesterol, or is it really that they don’t want…

ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION?
Need I say more? You’d think that this problem, above almost any other besides kidney stones, would drive a male to change their lifestyle. Unfortunately, I think that there is, once again, an education gap in society…

BUT I DON’T HAVE DIABETES, RIGHT?
I know I’ve covered this ad nauseam in previous posts, but it’s important enough to stress again. It doesn’t matter if you have or have not been diagnosed with diabetes. A large chunk of the US population (likely >60%)…

WANT TO LOSE WEIGHT? DON’T EXERCISE…
Ok. So maybe that’s not the best way to title the post. For some reason, maybe because of society, we like to lean towards exercise to lose weight. While this is important, diet plays a much stronger role. That’s not to…

CONSTIPATION INCREASES RISK OF THIS???
There are some who say that death begins in the colon. They’re really not too far off the mark. True health is not possible without a healthy gut. There are two issues with constipation. First is the consequences of…

CRANBERRY VS ANTIBIOTICS FOR UTI
Cranberries are one of those natural remedies that come to mind first thing when someone mentions urinary tract infections. Usually, when a recommendation like cranberries for UTIs has passed the test of time, it’s…

DIABETIC MEDS DON’T CONTROL BLOOD SUGAR
I think that many diabetics do not fully understand just how dangerous the condition is. The level of understanding of how damaging the prediabetic state is for our health is even lower. There are a few important…

SIMPLE VITAMIN HELPS PANCREAS
A little background here. Personally, I think there is nothing more important to the human physiology as managing the relationship between our cells, glucose, insulin and our pancreas. There is nothing more crucial to…

DRINK THIS TO LOWER CHOLESTEROL
I know most of you were hoping the answer here was beer, but to date no one has developed a high-resveratrol beer. Sorry. If any company gets close to developing one–buy stock. And although wine has been shown to raise…
