This type of care helps restore normal function, and allows the body to start producing healthy cells. Corrective care entails more treatment, and will cost more then relief care. If you cover up your symptoms with drugs for long periods of time – you will be paralyzing your nervous system. Corrective care will fine tune the nervous system, and allow your body to heal itself.

Health Report Hot Flashes

HOT FLASHES

A CHIROPRACTIC CASE STUDY

The patient revealed that she had been experiencing hot flashes for the past four years. For the previous eighteen months she had used an estrogen patch which reduced the frequency of hot flashes from approximately once every twenty minutes to about four times per day.

During a baseline period of three weeks, the patient kept a daily record of the number of hot flashes she experienced. This practice was continued throughout the period of the study, during chiropractic adjustments.

The patient received eleven chiropractic adjustments. A decline in reported hot flashes occurred consistently throughout the duration of the study. However, a significant decrease from the beginning of the study was not apparent until the period following the second adjustment. During this interval the frequency of the hot flashes dropped significantly by 44%. Subsequent changes over the next nine adjustment intervals revealed significant decreases. The greatest percent decrease (90%) was recorded following the ninth and eleventh adjustments. 

In conclusion, the patient went from slightly over four hot flashes a day to almost zero during and after the period of receiving chiropractic treatment.

This study indicates that chiropractic treatment can offer some relief in regards to hot flashes.

While menopause is a natural life event, much of the attendant distress may be avoidable through the correction of vertebral subluxation. Progress in this area could enhance the quality of life for women experiencing this transition.

Wheatgrass VS. Cancer?

Wheatgrass is a highly nutritional food that was discovered by Dr. Ann Wigmore. It contains a large variety of vitamins, minerals, and trace elements. She claims that 15 pounds of fresh wheatgrass has equal nutritional value to 350 pounds of fresh vegetables. Dr. Wigmore also reported that wheatgrass along with living foods has been used to eliminate cancerous growths.

The structure of wheatgrass is very similar to human hemogloblin. Hemogloblin is the oxygen carrying part of the red blood cells.

In anemic animals, their blood count returned to normal in 5 days after wheatgrass therapy, according to one study.

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.

Age Spots

Flat brown spots that appear on the skin as the body ages are called age spots. They are a by-product of a waste build-up caused by free radical damage to the skin. Age spots are generally considered harmless, but in reality they are telling you that your body is toxic.

The cause of age spots are: excess sun exposure, poor diet, lack of exercise and poor liver function. B-complex vitamins, Vitamin C, Lactobacillus, and lecithin have been found to slow down the aging process. The herbs licorice, ginseng, and sarsaparilla have also been used to combat age spots.

Chromium For Diabetes

Soil depletion has rendered most of us chromium deficient. Processed food is another cause of chromium deficiency.

New diagnosed diabetics with mild glucose intolerance can benefit from chromium supplementation. Chromium helps to raise the HDL (good cholesterol). This in turn drives out the bad cholesterol.

Chromium is found in oysters, liver, nuts, brewers yeast and potatoes. The refining of sugar depletes chromium.
