Hot Town Summer In The City
Medical researchers are growing increasingly excited about a wonder drug that may significantly reduce your risk of heart disease, cancer, diabetes and many other diseases -- sunshine.A recent study found that men who are deficient in vitamin D, which your body produces in response to sunlight, have more than double the normal risk of suffering a heart attack.In fact, men with vitamin D levels below 15 nanograms per milliliter had 2.5 times the risk of having a heart attack or dying -- even after controlling for all other possible risk factors such as hypertension, obesity and high lipid levels.
Another study found that low levels of vitamin D increased the risk of diabetes, and yet another linked vitamin D deficiencies to an increased risk of dying from breast cancer.These findings all join a growing body of evidence indicating that an adequate level of the vitamin, which many people can get from 20 minutes in the sun each day, is crucial to maintaining good health.

New Study: Chiropractic care lowers blood pressure. Can this be true??
In the study patients under Chiropractic care (through adjustments of their upper cervical spine), saw marked decreases in blood pressure. The average drop in BP was an amazing 17 points (the same affectivness as taking 2 medications).
What does this all mean? Is Chiropractic a cure for high blood pressure? Can I stop taking these drugs?
As my patients already know, Chiropractic doesn't cure anything!!!! Not low back, pain, headaches, neck tension, asthma, cancer, etc.
However, the miracle of Chiropractic is it removes interference in the nervous system, thereby it improves the funtion of your nervous system, and your body works better. Chiropractors have been screaming this in the Unbited States for over a century, and occasionally a study like this comes out and MD's everywhere look skeptically and scratch their head.
Here is the link http://i.abcnews.com/GMA/OnCall/story?id=4520614&page=1
What baffles me is that for each of these great Chiropractic stories that comes out, at the end they always quote some supposedly all knowing Medical Doctor, to interpret the results. To go to your medical doctor and ask questions about how Chiropractic works is as ridiculous as asking your favorite carpenter a plumbing question. They simply are not trained to answer the question intelligently. If you would like to prove this ask your MD how much Chiropractic training they received in medical school (theory, technique, the whole shabang). It is the same amount of surgical training I received in Chiropractic school. ZERO!!
If you want your body (or that of your family and friend) to work better have them checked by a Chiropractor to see if they can help. It is a drug free way to better health.

Chiropractic Kid in California
Is Chiropractic for kids? Yes, but don't take my word for it. I don't know this kid or her dad, but it is always great to see a child describe their experiences. This girls sentiments ring true with me. I have gone to the Chiropractor my whole life and I still get adjusted once a week to this day. Like the girl in the video says, "It feels good and makes you healthier". I couldn't have said it any better myself.
