Top Ten Supplements
We carry so many different nutritional products these days that I thought it would be nice to narrow it down to the best sellers that patients come back for again and again.  As with any supplement, please consult with me on how/when to take.
 
DSF (De-Stress Formula)
The adrenal glands are activated in times of stress.  Too much stress and over activation of the adrenal gland causes adrenal fatigue.  And... that is exactly how you feel when you have adrenal fatigue, FATIGUED!  So if your tired, worn out, or just beat, you might want to try some adrenal support.
 
Core Level Health Reserve (Great Multiple)
A complete multi nutrient.  Who needs a good multiple.  EVERYONE!  What you say.. you already take a multiple... this one is better!  That's how much faith I have in this one.  Nuff said.  This one is tops, tops, tops.
 
Total Upper GI and Total Enzymes (Digestion Support)
Indigestion anyone?  Hmmm wonder why that is?  Maybe you are cooking most of your foods.  And, in doing so, have killed all the natural digestive enzymes in your foods.  It can be pretty hard to digest your food without enzymes.  L-glutamine aids in healing the epithelial linings of the esophagus and stomach.
 
Total Virx and Total Multimune (Immune Support)
The one-two punch combination for a powerful immune system. 
 
Immuno Plus (Kids' Immune Support)
Kids hate to take supplements.  This is a tincture for immune support.  A few drops in your kids juice and they'll never know you just gave them a powerful immune supporter.
 
Whole System Histozyme (Allergy Support)
Supports you specifically in times of allergic response.  It's that time of year.  Have you seen all the pollen lately on your car?
 
Progesterone creme (Female Hormonal Support)
Painful or irregular menses?  Try progesterone support.  In these times, when our environment is so estrogen dominate, progesterone can make a huge difference.
 
Pro-Inflazyme (Injury Support)
Kansas City Chief's Chiropractor, Dr. Mladenoff, has a lot of experience with treating swollen and injured joints.  He formulated this awesome proteolytic enzyme product just for this reason.
 
Total Brain (Brain Support)
In my opinion, there is not a better brain-specific multiple nutrient available anywhere .  This one helps a lot!
 
 
Spring De-Tox
Spring is a great time to de-toxify the body.  Summer is right around the corner and more daylight hours allow for more play in the sun.  It's time to get the lethargy out of your body and start jumping for joy!  A common side effect of de-toxification is weight loss, so it's also a great thing to do if you want to fit into last years swim suit.  Here's a de-tox diet to follow is you are feeling really ambitious.  If you don't feel like making a huge commitment try doing just a few things on the de-tox diet, or try just DSF and Total Liver De-tox in combination.   Any way you do it, big time, or just a little bit, your body is going to like you for it.  Just get it going!
 
 
Going Extreme
Did you notice the Olympics had a few new sports this year?  Half pipe snowboard anyone?  How about a little snow cross?   As I was watching the Olympics, I was thinking about the draw of extreme sports and if they were actually healthy.  I thought about my own interest in extreme sports and wondered if it's a healthy thing for me.  I concluded, when we push our physical limits, and go little beyond of what we believe we are capable of, our spirit grows.  Life becomes more interesting.    However, reaching beyond our boundaries can cause injuries, so it's safer to set boundaries, and not throw all caution to the wind.   And, no matter how safe you think you are, some injuries are just unavoidable.  I remember one day I went beyond my boundaries while mountain biking.  As I was washing out the mud from the bed of my truck I was reflecting on how fortunate I was to not have been injured that day.  Almost at that exact moment, I slipped on the wet bed of my truck, and fell onto my back and head really hard.  It was totally unexpected.  I never thought I had to play-it-safe while washing my truck!
 
Another interesting point to ponder, is where extreme sports are going.  I remember 20 years ago watching On Any Sunday and thinking it was extreme to see a regular Motocross race and maybe a super steep hill climb competition.  Nowadays we have the likes of Travis Pastrama turning complete 360's in the air in Freestyle Motocross events.  Think back a hundred years when motorcycles looked more like bicycles with motors, with little or no suspension.  Do you think anyone ever imagined, at that time, we would see kids on motorcycles jump 60 feet in the air, do an upside-down 360... land safely... and not end up dead?  What's next?  One hundred years from now what will we be looking at in sports?  What will be extreme then?  Imagine that!  One thing is for sure, if we could see into the future it would seem very extreme. 
 
 
Can I treat without an X-Ray?
A couple weeks ago a patient came in with a TMJ problem.  I decided to take an x-ray.  I found a problem in the neck, ON THE X-RAY, that I did not find upon palpation (using my hands to feel).  A couple of adjustments to the neck and the TMJ problem was much better.  My palpation findings were just not enough.  Had I not taken a x-ray of the neck, in this case, I am certain I would have failed to help that patient.  Sometimes I need an x-ray and sometimes I don't.  It just depends.  Some new patients request to be treated without an x-ray.  That's not a problem if I don't find it necessary to take one.  However, I have turned a few people away over the years because I refused to take their case without an x-ray.  I'm nice about it, but firm, because the TMJ problem I shared with you above has repeated itself over and over again.
 
 
Natural Help for Allergies
A/SERT (Allergy Sensitivity Elimination and Reprogramming Technique)
This is the method I use to help patients with allergies.  Bring in any known allergens in a container of some kind (plastic bag, Tupperware, or?) and I will help your electrical field re-establish itself to the allergen.  I use the Accuspark and stimulate certain points in your body to strengthen your electrical field to allergens.  In the past, patients have brought in the hair from the pet they are allergic to, certain foods, or swiped pollen from the windowsill on a cotton swab and brought that in.  Whatever it is, just bring it in and we'll do the A/SERT method and provide you with Whole System Hystozyme.  I have had lots of success with many food and pet allergies, as well as pollen.
 
Thanks for the referrals
We have had many new patients in the last few months, and the new patients have great expectations!  It's really nice to be spoken of so nicely.   Thank you very much for your faith in our office.  I am grateful.
