Dr. J’s Health Tip of the Week:   

I am going to try something different for this week’s health tip.  In the last week or two, there has been a lot of interesting developments in health news.  In this week’s column, I am going to rapidly fire through some of the biggest headlines to keep you abreast of the “healthiest news.”  Cure for Diabetes is on the horizon.  Type 1 , insulin dependent diabetes could be cured in the near future with the development of stem cell therapy that turns stem cells into insulin producing cells.  According to John Hopkin’s University director of Diabetes Center, “This is the real deal.”  New Treatment and Prevention for Cancer called the Metabolic Theory of Cancer involves attacking mitochondrial cell dysfunction with a ketosis diet and a drug that takes lactic acid out of the cell.  Results have been very promising and research has been effective on all forms of cancer.  Ketosis diet is basically a diet that involves zero non-fiber carbohydrates, high healthy fats and low protein, no sugar.  Wash your new clothes at least twice before wearing them.  New clothes look, well, new and clean, but research scientists have found that new clothes are far away from being clean.  Microscopic studies and testing have found respiratory secretions, fecal matter, vaginal secretions and dead skin cells on new clothes. Researcher also state that new clothes can transmit lice and scabies.  Most offensive new clothes were swimsuits, underwear and other intimate apparel.  Chemical and drug companies have started another big smear campaign against the vitamin industry.  The new attacks are aimed at making people think they are wasting their money and that there is no health benefit to taking vitamins or supplements.  These companies are paid sponsors on documentaries and news pieces you may see on TV in the upcoming months.  Why do they do this?  There is no money to be made if people are taking vitamins instead of drugs.  Non-stick cookware (think Teflon brand) and water repellant, stain resistant clothing are extremely toxic due to a chemical called  perfluorooctanoic acid.  The Dupont Chemical Company currently has 3500 personal injury claims filed against it from people whose health has been effected by this toxicity.  The National Institutes of Health (NIH) has issued a report stating that chiropractic care is unlikely to cause stroke as some opponents of chiropractic care have asserted. The report was based on a study published in the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics. The NIH report, starts by stating, "An analysis of Medicare claims data from older Americans who sought care for neck pain from chiropractors suggests that cervical spine manipulation is unlikely to cause stroke." This newest study adds to the growing body of scientific evidence that shows that chiropractic care is safe and does not increase the risk of stroke. More and More Children going to the chiropractor for health care.  1.8 million children between the ages of 4 years old and 17  years old were under chiropractic care last year.

In our office: 

Jason’s All Natural, Chemical Free, Non-Toxic Deodorant is in the office.  24 hour protection without the cancer causing chemicals!

Matcha Green Tea.  Matcha is the Japanese word for powdered.  Matcha green tea is one of the most powerful anit-oxidant containing teas with anti-cancer properties, cholesterol lowering properties, weight loss benefits and detoxifying properties.  I now carry Match Green Tea in the office as I drink as glass every day!! 

Are you suffering from Arthritis joint pain in your knees, shoulders, hands and fingers?  If you are, the latest joint supplement for the effective relief of arthritis pain is now available in my office without a prescription.  Hyaluronic Acid ( the main ingredient in those rooster shots that the orthopedist gives out) coats the joints and provides lubrication, easing pain.  I tested a bottle of liquid hyaluronic acid on my Father (who is a big arthritis sufferer) and after 2 weeks of use he was able to walk up stairs without knee pain, he had less joint noise and stiffness and less overall pain in his arthritic spots.  Two ¼ teaspoons a day for the 1^st 2 weeks then one a day.  A bottle will last over a month after the initial phase, 90% of the users report less arthritic pain.  The 10% that do not have relief can get their money back by turning in the empty bottle.  Our patients who are using the product are reporting joint pain relief!  Hyaluronic Acid is 100% natural and contains zero harmful ingredients.  It can be taken with medications and on an empty stomach.  

I now have Cold Laser Therapy in the office.  Cold laser therapy delivers extremely deep heat into the body’s muscles and ligament tissues, helping to increase circulation, decrease inflammation and reduce pain.  The laser does this without surface heat, thus the word cold.  You do not feel the laser.  Treatment last about 90 seconds to 3 minutes.  Cold laser works perfectly for tendonitis, bursitis and severe pain.  Treatments are $20.00 per session if not covered by insurance.

Oregano Oil:  Oregano oil is extremely anti-viral and anti-bacterial.  4-8 drops in a glass of water 3-4 times a day when you are starting to feel sick can stop you from getting sick.  If you are sick, it will cut the duration of your illness down considerably.  I am now carrying oregano oil in the office!!  This stuff is the goods.  I swear by it.

Vitamin D3 is and has always been available in my office!!  I have the highest quality at the lowest price!!

Do you have Fasciitis of the feet?  Our office offers the Runnersage.  Runnersage is a percussive, trigger point massage therapy designed to loosen up the plantar fascia on the bottom of the feet.  Patients report that 3-4 consecutive treatments have decreased foot pain and help the overall healing process.  Treatment is 10 minutes.  It is not usually covered by insurance, but only charge $10.00 a treatment if not covered by your policy.
