I have been a Chiropractor for 28 years and I have missed the big picture most of that time. I had it for a couple years back in 1990 and 91 but lost it somehow. I have been living and working under the false perspective that correcting problems will produce health. Never mind that my […]
One of my fondest memories of when I was growing up was going wild blackberry picking late in the summer in the big berry patches behind our house. We would take a long piece of lumber and drop it into the patch and then carefully walk out onto the lumber to reach the really good […]

Most every culture has some sort of spring equinox celebration. New life abounds and the earth warms and springs forth anew. The sun is out once again (at least […]

It is a little tougher to replace the products that are full of these oils like mayonnaise, dressings, bakery products, margarine, chips, […]
Do you have a loved one with Alzheimer’s or senile dementia? Are you concerned for yourself? Loss of your ability to think or remember is devastating. “You” literally cease to exist bit by bit, but your body keeps going on. Life as you knew it slips away because everything “you knew” is slipping away. Everything you […]
