PREPARE FOR THE SEASON WITH A SUMMER ESSENTIALS KIT : PART 1

The season of summer plans is upon us. Wherever summer takes you, consider packing an essentials kit to ensure each day’s outlook remains fair, no matter what the weather.  Many of us pack sunscreen, insect repellant and basic first aid items, but what are some other smart additions to the packing list. 

SEASONAL CHALLENGES

With bees buzzing and seasonal changes at their peak, be ready for increased histamine levels with Antronex.  Antronex contains Yakitron, a liver fat extract discovered by Japanese researchers that supports the body’s natural detoxification mechanisms.  Antronex supports the liver and body’s natural histamine response function.

You’ll also want to pack a bottle of Cal-Amo, which can be combined with Antronex for more immediate support.  Containing compounds useful in supporting proper acid/alkaline balance, Cal-Amo supports normal cellular pH and respiratory function.

In case you do have a close encounter of the insect kind, you might want to keep a container of powdered bentonite clay on hand.  With its drawing powers, bentonite is able to absorb and to soothe.  Add water to make a paste, smear the paste on a cloth and apply it to an area where the insect encounter occurred.  Cholacol II is bentonite clay in tablet form that can be crushed into a powder form.

Cal-Amo, Antronex and Cholacol II are part of the Whole Food Supplement line available in our office.

WHETHER YOU’RE PACKING A BACKPACK OR STOCKING A CAMPER, A SUMMER ESSENTIALS KIT CAN ENSURE YOU’RE PREPARED TO ENJOY SUMMER PLANS COMFORTABLY.

Consult with Natural Healing Expert, Dr. Jeremy Hozjan to discover how he helps people with a wide range of problems, from those that are merely annoying to those that are life threatening.

If you don’t take the time for your health now, 

you WILL need to take the time for your sickness later.

Health Tips

All In the Wrist?

Pain in your wrist means there's a problem in your wrist, right? Maybe - maybe not.

Double Crush: Double Crush occurs when nerves going to or from the wrist are pressured in the carpal tunnel and the spine, shoulder, neck or elbow. Resolving carpal tunnel problems requires looking beyond the wrist.

The Tunnel: The 8 small bones that run from your knuckles to your wrist are called carpals. They form a "tunnel" for the nerves and tendons that control your fingers to pass through. If any of the bones forming this tunnel loses its proper alignment, nerve pressure, inflammation and pain can result.

Chiropractic May Help: In carpal tunnel cases, chiropractic adjustments often produce excellent results. If you have wrist pain, conduct this simple test. If the findings suggest further evaluation, email our practice using the link below, or give us a call: (704) 523-2367

Save Your Knees

A Canadian study found that 81% of joint replacement patients were classified as overweight or obese. But most knee problems can be avoided:

Lose Weight. Carrying around extra fat puts extra wear and tear on your joints, impairing function.

Strengthen Leg Muscles. Something as simple and inexpensive as walking or climbing stairs can do wonders to strengthen your knees.

Wear Supportive Shoes. When properly fitted, shoe orthotics help support the arches of your feet, giving your entire body a more stable platform.

Emotional Fuel

Giving positive feedback can be a powerful tool to reinforce a desired behavior. And it's a skill anyone can learn. Keep these things in mind:

Do it Now. Positive feedback is most effective when it is delivered as quickly after the desired behavior as possible.

Do it Publicly. While negative feedback should always be delivered privately, positive feedback is most effective when given in front of others.

Be Specific. Don't give a general, "Well done, Sally." Instead, identify the specific reason or detail that's prompting your acknowledgment. "Great presentation in the sales meeting, Sally," is much more effective.

Do it Often. Since positive feedback is "emotional fuel," don't neglect the small victories. Celebrate them too.

Be Authentic. Don't offer empty praise. Mean it when you say it!

Giving positive feedback takes practice. Today, be on the lookout and try to catch someone doing something great. You'll make their day... and probably yours, too.

If you don't take the tie for your health now, you will need to take the time for your sickness later on.

How Well Do You Adapt?

How Well Do You Adapt?

Have you ever thought about the difference between something living and something dead? What changes the moment that we, or our pet or a tree stops living?

Scientists know that one of the things that distinguishes something that is alive from something that isn't, is its ability to adapt to its environment. A rock doesn't adapt. Nor does a fence post. But we do if we're alive.

We generally take it for granted, but moving out of the path of an approaching vehicle, perspiring when it's hot or squinting in the bright sun are all adaptations. These and the many other ways we adapt to our environment are governed by the integrity of our nervous systems - the focus of your chiropractic care.

While many see chiropractic care as a source of neck and back pain relief, our interest in your spine is because it's the most vulnerable part of your nervous system. Nerve interference along your spine can wreak havoc with your ability to adapt, accommodate and respond to your environment.

If chiropractic helps you with an ache or a pain, we're delighted. Sometimes less obvious is its ability to help you adapt and optimally perform mentally, physically and socially... which is the true definition of being healthy!

Bones or Nerves?

We live our lives through our nervous systems. Whether it's enjoying a sunset, digesting dinner or warding off an infection, our nervous systems control everything. Better nervous system = better life.

Our culture is focused on blood, such as pulse, blood pressure and cholesterol. Yet these largely result from nervous system directions. So even the smallest nervous system disturbance can dramatically affect the way your whole body works.

Since the moving bones of the spinal column are in such close proximity to the spinal cord, and the 31 pairs of nerve roots that branch out from it, many people think chiropractic is all about bones.

But I see myself as a nerve doctor, not a bone doctor. The spinal column is merely where we find the vertebral subluxations that are often the source of nerve disturbances between the brain and body. Reducing nervous system tension allows your body to work normally so health can return. Simple, really.

The Healing Power of the Mind

Question: What do the spells cast by voodoo practitioners and researchers testing the effectiveness of the latest drug concoction have in common?
Answer: The placebo effect. The placebo effect means the more you believe you'll benefit from a drug or procedure, the more likely it is that you will experience a benefit.

From time to time we encounter skeptics who dismiss the sometimes amazing results our practice members receive. Writing them off as merely the placebo effect, these cynics virtually ignore the mind/body connection that most forward-thinking health care experts are finally starting to recognize.

Placebo (from the Latin "I will please") is often a sugar pill or some type of sham treatment designed to specifically invoke the beliefs of the practice member, and in double blind studies, the beliefs of the doctor. Some studies show that placebos are 30% to 40% effective.

And don't overlook the "nocebo" effect!

Nocebo (from the Latin "I will harm") is based on the effects of negative beliefs. Telling someone to get their affairs in order because they have two months to live is almost a death sentence! Being "scared to death" or "worried sick" can be equally powerful expressions of our self-talk.

Is the success that chiropractic practice members enjoy merely the placebo effect? Hardly. Chiropractic helps newborns, infants and even pets, for which the power of the believing mind is difficult to explain.

As you know from personal experience, chiropractic results are real. If you know someone you think could benefit, would you direct them our way? We'd love to help!

If you don't take the tie for your health now, you will need to take the time for your sickness later on.
