Doctor, This white paper discusses the significance of the October of 2015 study published in the Journal of American Osteopathic Association called “Incidence in Somatic Dysfunction in Healthy Newborns.” An intimate relationship exists between the alignment and movement of the spine, and the function of the central nervous system. Chiropractic is known to help people with a variety of conditions, disorders, and symptoms due to the role of the spine on central nervous system function. But the benefits of chiropractic are not only for those who are suffering. Like a cavity, a small misalignment in the spine can occur before pain or symptoms arise. A popular question about chiropractic amongst healthcare providers and their patients center around the necessity of chiropractic care for babies, children, and adults in the presence or absence of symptoms. This study evaluated one-hundred newborns for the presence of somatic dysfunction, and the findings were remarkable.  ▪ T...

Botanist James Wong knows his onions, and he says eat the red ones If microwaved in a little water, for a short time, broccoli’s vitamin A and carotene levels increase by five It’s been a while, I tell the botanist and broadcaster James Wong, the author of How to Eat Better, since I’ve looked inside a cookbook (I mean, an aspirational cookbook, its cover luscious with fruit, with an aesthetically pleasing author) and found a recipe for macaroni cheese, containing loads of cheddar and Parmesan and a litre of milk. Yes, the pasta is wholemeal, but it feels verboten. I mean, are we even allowed to refer to “creamy, cheesy goodness”? “How scandalous! Dairy! And a litre of it!” exclaims Wong, feigning shock. However, having not included options for the “lactose intolerant”, the Kew Gardens-trained botanist — familiar as the face of programmes such as the award-winning BBC Two show Grow Your Own Drugs, and a regular on Radio 4’s Gardeners’ Question Time — admits to being “a bit wo...

Apple cider vinegar Numerous peer-reviewed studies have looked at the blood sugar, carbohydrate, and insulin management effects of consuming apple cider vinegar before and/or after a meal. For example, one study showed a 19% decrease in blood sugar levels when consuming 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar after a high carbohydrate meal. Another study in which participants consumed 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar before bed resulted in their morning fasting blood sugar levels decreasing by 4%. But what are the actual results of apple cider (ACV) vinegar on fatloss?  Well, there has only been one study conducted looking at ACV and weightloss directly, that being a 175-participant study conducted in Japan.  In the study, 175 obese but otherwise healthy individuals consumed either ACV or water daily for 12 weeks.  At the end of the study period, the ACV group lost 1 - 2 pounds each while the water group lost no wei...

Soothe the pain and suffering of IBS with THIS miraculous garden secret By Glenn S. Rothfeld, M.D. In my garden, it grows like a bully—scrambling for every bit of space and pushing the other herbs out of the way each spring. In my food, it adds brightness and a Mediterranean flare.

Take back your quality of life Dozens of studies have been perf...
