2009 Worst Cities for Fall Allergies

In many areas of the United States, October not only brings beautiful changing leaves and cooler weather, but also brings fall allergies. Each fall the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America puts together a list of the top 10 most challenging places to live for people with seasonal allergies and allergy symptoms.

To determine the most difficult places to live for people with fall allergies, the Asthma and Allergy Foundation looks at the following factors: the city’s pollen and mold levels; how long peak allergy season usually lasts; the number of allergy medications used by patients, such as antihistamines, nasal sprays, and oral drugs; and the number of allergy specialists in the area.

Here is a list of the top 10 worst cities in the United States or fall allergy sufferers:

1. McAllen, Texas

2. Wichita, Kansas

3. Louisville, Kentucky

4. Oklahoma City, Oklahoma

5. Jackson, Mississippi

6. Dayton, Ohio

7. Augusta, Georgia

8. Tulsa, Oklahoma

9. Knoxville, Tennessee

10. Little Rock, Arkansas

Dr. Bob Talks about Children and Chiropractic

Recent studies show that newborn infants are subjected to spinal trauma during the birth process. Under ideal conditions, it can be a difficult process for an infant that has been developing in the womb. A chiropractic check up for your infant after birth will show if any nerve interference exists. With the active life children lead, a periodic chiropractic check up can detect problems before they have time to escalate.

Robert Mendelsohn, M.D., was one of the most prominent pediatricians in the U.S. In his book, Confessions of a Medical Heretic, he discussed how babies in the hospital were six times more likely to endure distress during labor and delivery. The newborns were eight times more likely to get lodged in the birth canal, and four times more likely to require resuscitation, and thirty times more likely to suffer permanent damage. The chance for infection went up four fold also.

Doctors and researchers are trying to determine accurate ways of measuring damage to infants. It is a known fact that pulling on the neck during delivery can move bones out of place. The damage may not show up immediately, but in some cases it could cause a learning disorder. In one case study, the patients of 200 pediatricians was compared with 200 children that had been adjusted by chiropractors. The children under chiropractic care had less ear infections, lower incidence of tonsillitis, and fewer allergies. They were also less likely to require antibiotic therapy.

My name is Dr. Bob Moulas D.C., and I have been adjusting children for 24 years. The results have been amazing, and I truly love working with children!

L-Tyrosine For Mood Elevation

L-Tyrosine is an important amino acid that can be used to treat allergies, anxiety and depression. It also aids in function of the following glands: adrenal, pituitary, and thyroid glands.

L-Tyrosine acts as a mood elevator, suppresses the appetite and helps decrease body fat. A lack of tyrosine can cause the body to not produce the hormone norephinephrine. This in turn causes depression, and mood disorders. It has also been used for withdrawal from drugs.

L-Tyrosine is best taken on an empty stomach, and mixed with Vitamin B6. Wait one hour before eating.

Dr. Moulas on Building Strong Bones Part II

"Milk - it does the body good." But unfortunately many people have lost the ability to properly digest and metabolize dairy products. Milk allergy is one of the most common food allergies known. So, Milk isn’t for everyone! You have no doubt seen advertisements suggesting you take Tums “for the calcium you need”. Tums is an antacid which contains calcium carbonate. Ironically, when the normal acid secreted in your stomach is neutralized, calcium is very poorly absorbed. The digestion and absorption of other nutrients is also impaired. Calcium carbonate is a very cheap form of calcium, but it is not well absorbed by many people.
