ASK DR. MIKE?

What is the best vitamin and mineral company, there are so many out there?

My views on vitamins and minerals are that you get what you pay for. There are hundreds of companies promoting that their company has all natural ingredients, but in many cases they are not. There are many cities across the country pulling out hundreds of pounds of undigested vitamins and minerals every month. The reason is due to the high metallic content of these pills. Metallic minerals like oyster shell, carbonates, oxides and dolomites have the consistency of crushed up rocks, which our bodies were not designed to digest. It is stated on page 1542 of the Physicians Desk Reference, "vitamins and minerals in the pill form are only 10% absorbed by the body".

Chewables, liquids, powders, and capsules increase the absorption rate between 80-100%. It doesn't take a mathematician to figure out that means for every $100 you are spending on nutrients, you may be flushing down the toilet about $90 if you are trying to save money by buying Centrum, One A Day, or generic forms of supplements. So..... what does the body need? Dr. Joel Wallach says that you need at least 90 nutrients daily; 60 minerals, 16 vitamins, 12 amino acids, 3 essential fatty acids, and water, or you will get a disease due to deficiencies. Dr. Wallach, as a vet, states, "we know how to cure and prevent diseases in animals with nutrition because there is no healthcare, medicare, etc. for animals". In many ways we are similar, and doing the right things in life will add many years onto your life. Our genetic potential is to live 120-140 years. Read the book or see the movie "The Lost Horizon" by James Hilton or the remake called "Shangri La" in 1968.

Dr. Li from China is regarded as the oldest man at age 256 who passed away in 1933, which is documented. Chief Bower from Niger, Africa was 126 and at his death had all his teeth and functions. The 1993 biosphere experiment sponsored by UCLA medical clinic concluded that these six subjects living within the dome in Arizona could live 165 years if they continued to live with clean air, food, water, etc.

  Sciatica: The problem that affects many and doesn't go away overnight!

This last month I have seen quite a few cases of sciatica, which involve intense leg pain... numbness... tingling or burning which usually begins in the lower back and may extend along the back of the leg from the buttocks to the inside of the ankle. When the sciatic nerve becomes inflamed or traumatized in any way, the result is agonizing because it is usually a bulging disc, misalignment of bones, jammed facet joint, strained ligament, or muscle spasms. It may be a pinching of nerves that are between layers of muscles.

It is important to note that recovery from sciatica is usually slower than recovery from simple back pain. While relief may be obtained in a short period of time, it is worth remembering that the severity of the condition may require longer treatment.

Studies show that after one month, 30% of people with sciatica recover with conservative management; 50% recover in three months; 70% recover in six months. The treatment protocol may be daily at first, then 3 times a week, then twice a week, etc. compared to 80-90% of simple low back pain resolved within one month.

What to do first? Ice should be used first along with loading dosages of manganese and minerals. It is important to stretch and start using heat every other hour for 15 minutes. Get adjusted as often as possible and a lumbar brace is often helpful.

Making Your Health Your Top Priority: Series Part 2

Tracking Your Health Results:

We’ve all heard that patience is a virtue and yet, it is often difficult to be patient when you’ve started working towards your “Health Goals”. It’s actually really easy to get caught up in wanting to hurry things along—cut to the chase, and be done with it, now.

Please see part I in June’s Newsletter.
When it comes to your health, it’s important to give your body time to heal.
You are on your way to health. Please note that gradual changes are usually the most effective. For example, this month please begin to add more room temperature (not cold) water to your diet.

A good rule of thumb would be to drink half your body weight in ounces of purified water. So if you weigh 100 lbs. you need to drink 50 ounces of water. We are over 90%

water. That’s a lot of water. Every organ, muscle, bone, skin, literally everyfiber of our being needs water for health. However, most Americans are in survival mode, when it comes to water. Imagine your organs being like a raisin.When you start drinking water, at first the water runs off. Reason being the skin is so hard. However after daily adding proper amounts of water to your diet, your raisin(organs) will start to look more like grape. Have you ever-watered grass for the first time? The water rolls off (just like the prune), just like us. The water rolls off at first. We will urinate more often, however if you keep drinking the proper amount of water your body will start absorbing the water, and you will start to urinate in the proper way. We are giving a lot of visuals about water because drinking proper amounts of water is very important. Have you ever seen a pool of water under a waterfall? How beautiful it looks? Fresh water constantly going in and out of the pool of water!

Now imagine a stagnated pool of water, 		with all the muck and guck. No fresh water going in and out. That is what we do to our bodies if we do not drink the proper about of water.

We believe that if you drink distilled or reverse osmosis water you should add minerals as the water is considered dead.
If you have questions or symptoms of concern— simply give us a call and consult with us before giving up and trying something new. 		Did you know?

That the shortest sentence in the English language is “I am”. And that the longest sentence is “I do”.

Omega-3 fatty acids are simple, unsaturated fats that break down in the body. Omega-3s are found in flaxseeds, canola oil, nuts, avocados, and cold-water fish-especially tuna and wild salmon

DHA is needed for proper brain development as well as visual and neurological growth.

EPA helps with inflammation and cardiovascular integrity.

Who needs DHA and EPA?
Everyone can benefit from DHA and EPA.

Pregnant and nursing mothers for proper brain and eye development of the child.

Adults and seniors who want to keep their mental agility, along with positive well being and inner harmony.

People who need additional support for their heart, immune system and/or joints.
