Dr. J's Crafty Commentary:
 
Dear Practice Members:
 
An old adage sometimes carries a lot of truth to it.  For instance, "an apple a day will keep the doctor away."   Apples are high in vitamins, minerals, fiber, energetic carbs and just plain good for you.   In theory, eating things that are good for you will keep you healthier.  How about "a stitch in time, saves nine?"  This basically means if you take care of the job now, it will save you work later.   I have a new adage I would like to try out on you.   If your spine is in line, you'll be fine.  
 
When the vertebra of your spine are adjusted periodically, as in wellness or maintenance care, the nervous system, the muscular system and the skeletal system all function at a higher, healthier level.   For instance, removing spinal nerve irritation with adjustments, improve nerve flow to all the organs and systems in the body.  Spinal adjustments also prevent friction on the vertebra from wearing down the bone and causing accelerated arthritis.  In addition the motion from the adjustment to the spine balances the musculature and maintains range of motion or flexibility.   So, just like the apple a day, spinal adjustments are good for you and like a stitch in time, taking care of yourself now, before you have a problem, will save you work, time and money later.  If your spine is in line, you'll be fine is an adage that works for the entire family.  It is never to late to start your children on the healthy benefits of regular chiropractic care, not only will they be healthier, but you will be teaching them an important lesson about taking care of there health.
 
Health Tip Of The Month:  Vitamin B6 is essential for a healthy nervous system.  It is also known to enhance mood, and help make red blood cells.  Plus, it has been shown to lessen PMS symptoms.  B6 is found in liver, kidneys, beef, milk, eggs, wheat bran & germ.  They also sell it in a handy, dandy capsule at the health food store.
 
Baby Report:  My wife is doing much better.  No more sickness, the blood clot has healed and her blood sugar readings have been very good.  The sad news is that she
has some sort of severe, inflammation or tear of a muscle that connects the uterous to the pubic bone.  She can't move due to the pain and is stuck in bed or the couch, where she has been since the end of February.  We just crossed the 20 week barrier.  The baby, a girl, is doing fine and is kicking up a storm all day long.
 
Movie Review:  Stuck on you, the comedy about conjoined twins, started out goofy, but there was a story in there, somewhere, so it was worth a watch and provided some laughs.  Love Actually with a huge cast of British actors, including Hugh Grant was very good.  Billy Bob Thornton plays the US President and gets served by  Hugh Grant, the Prime Minister.  Good movie.  Big Fish, didn't live up to the hype of the TV commercials, but was enjoyable, it just wsn't the mesmerizing film of the year we were led to believe.  Scary Movie 3, same as the first two.  It would have made a good 5 minute skit, but not a 2hr movie.  Paycheck.  Ben Affleck plays an inventor who has his memeory erased.  Enjoyable.  Suspend belief and you will like it.   Out of Time with Denzel Washington  was very good.  a lot of plot twists in this murder mystery, the cool thing was that you could guess  them before they happened.  It doesn't make for a good movie to be able to do that, but it makes you happy when you are right.
 
Joke Of The Month:
 
Blonde And Chimps

A blonde motorist was two hours from Sydney when she was flagged down by a man whose truck had broken down. The man walked up to the blonde's car and asked, "Are you going to Sydney?"

"Sure," answered the blonde, "do you need a lift?"

"Not for me. I'll be spending the next three hours fixing my truck. My problem is I've got two chimpanzees in the back which have to be delivered to Taronga Park Zoo. They're a bit stressed already so I don't want to keep them on the road all day. Could you possibly take them to the zoo for me? I'll give you fifty dollars for your trouble."

"I'd be happy to," said the blonde.

So the two chimpanzees were ushered into the back seat of the blonde's car and carefully strapped into their seat belts. Off they went.

Five hours later, the truck driver was driving through the heart of Sydney when suddenly he was horrified. There was the blonde walking down the street and holding hands with the two chimps, much to the amusement of the crowd.

With a screech of brakes he pulled off the road and ran over to the blonde.
"What the hell are you doing here?" he demanded, "I gave you fifty dollars to take these chimpanzees to the zoo."

"Yes, I know you did," said the blonde, "but just as we arrived it looked like it was going to rain so we decided to see a movie instead."

That's all for this month.  Please e-mail me any comments or concerns.

Thank you.
