The Trifecta You Don't Want To Cash In...

Miami Beach Chiropractor Dr. Todd Narson writes:

High serum glucose. High cholesterol. High blood pressure. This is a trifecta you definitely don't want to have. This combination of laboratory findings is known as metabolic syndrome, a new medical term that has been in existence for less than ten years. It's well-known that there is an epidemic of obesity in America. Two-thirds of Americans are overweight or obese. Thirty percent of American children are overweight or obese. The numbers continue to increase. The United States is also in the midst of an epidemic in diabetes. Eight percent of Americans over age 20 have diabetes - one in twelve people and the numbers are increasing - FAST!

Olympic Chiropractic - Don't You Deserve The Same Care as TEAM USA??

Miami Beach Chiropractor Dr. Todd Narson writes;

Chiropractic care has been extremely successful in helping 'Joe Public' regain their health since it's official founding in 1896. So well in fact, it's withstood the decades of negative attacks from orthodox medicine(which has since improved), slander in the media(which still goes on) and more. Chiropractic has been so successful that in spite of all the negative publicity, the athletes themselves demanded chiropractic be there at the Olympic Training Center and at the Olympic Games.

Why? Simply because joints that don't move - hurt, and people with joints that hurt, don't win.

Since Dr. Phillip Santiago's successes as the first sports chiropractor to officially be credentialed and admitted to the 1980 USA Olympic Medical Team for the Barcelona Olympics, there have been sports chiropractors at the Olympic Training centers and treating team USA ever since.

When you choose a chiropractic physician for your aches, pains and injuries don't you deserve a chiropractor who is qualified to deliver the same level of care that Team USA gets?

In order for a chiropractic physician's application to merely be accepted by the credentialing committee, you must have a minimum post graduate CCSP qualification. CCSP means Certified Chiropractic Sports Physician. It's an intense 130 hour post graduate program followed by a National Board examination. The CCSP credentials carry a lot of weight and bring with them excellent knowledge for any team or athlete needing a physician with a great understanding of the evaluation and management of sports injuries.

In order to maintain a CCSP, you must get an additional 12 continuing education hours per year in sports medicine related subjects and maintain an active CPR card

The only thing that trumps the CCSP, is the DACBSP. DACBSP stands for Diplomate of the American Chiropractic Board of Sports Physicians. In Florida, in order to say you "Specialize" in sports injuries / sports medicine, you must have a Diplomate. The DACBSP program starts with a CCSP certification and adds an additional 200 classroom hours, you must publish in a peer reviewed scientific journal, spent a minimum of 200 "on-field" hours with teams/athletes, pass a 2nd National Board written examination and pass an intense practical "hands-on" examination consisting of management of a spine injured athlete, evaluation and management of a head trauma athletes, radiology, athletic taping, evaluation & management of an upper extremity & lower extremity injury.

Once passed, you are considered a sports injury specialist. In order to maintain the diplomate, you must get an additional 24 hours of sports medicine education per year and maintain an active CPR card.

All this is above and beyond what is required to maintain your regular Doctor of Chiropractic degree.

Trans-Fats Lead To Heart Disease. Eliminate Them From Your Diet NOW!!!

--> The hydrogenation process produces synthetic trans fats which are, quite literally, metabolic poisons. These rigid trans-fats dramatically interfere with all cellular function including increasing LDL (bad cholesterol), while decreasing HDL (good cholesterol). They also damage arterial walls creating lesions that accumulate plaque, as well as prevent our bodies from acquiring the much needed "cis" essential fatty acids that are critical for proper metabolic function and good health.
The trans fats (aka hydrogenated & partially hydrogenated oils) damage the lining of your arteries, cause an inflammatory response, scar tissue heals these and along with plaque buildup try to repair the arterial wound. Cholesterol sticks to these plaque-adhesions and you get blockage.
It's trans fats that do it, not saturated fat, not mono or polyunsaturated fats, it's trans fats.
change your way of thinking about fats, good fats are: Saturated, Poly & Mono Unsaturated.
Bad fats are Trans fats.
Good fats come from nature
Bad fats come from man made crapola.

WHOLE FOODS PROMOTES MILITANT VEGETARIAN AGENDA

-----PRESS RELEASE FROM WESTON A. PRICE FOUNDATION-----

WHOLE FOODS PROMOTES MILITANT VEGETARIAN AGENDA

Has the Upscale Market Outlived Its Usefulness?WASHINGTON, DC. February 3, 2010: Whole Foods Markets has launched a nationwide "Health Starts Here" marketing scheme that endorses a low-fat, vegetarian diet, with promises that the diet will "improve health easily and naturally." The plan promotes the books and private business ventures of Joel Fuhrman, MD, and Rip Esselstyn, both of whom worked with Whole Foods to formulate the new guidelines. Customers now receive a pamphlet urging them to adopt a low-fat, plant-based diet and to cut back or completely eliminate animal foods. Many Whole Foods stores no longer sell books advocating consumption of meat, eggs and dairy products.

The plan will feature new Aggregate Nutrient Density Index (ANDI) labels for foods in the store; the index is designed to make plant foods to appear "nutrient dense" by favoring various phytonutrients in plants and ignoring many vitamins and minerals essential to health. "Whole Foods has stacked the deck against animal foods by choosing ANDI parameters that do not include a host of key nutrients, such as vitamins A, D and K, DHA, EPA arachidonic acid, taurine, iodine, biotin, pantothenic acid, and vital minerals like sodium, chloride, potassium, sulfur, phosphorus, copper, manganese, boron, molybdenum and chromium," says Sally Fallon Morell, president of the Weston A. Price Foundation. "Many of the phytochemicals that Fuhrman includes in the index he developed for Whole Foods play no essential role in the body and may even be harmful.""Animal foods like meat, liver, butter, whole milk and eggs contain ten to one hundred times more vitamins and minerals than plant foods," says Fallon Morell.

"Plant foods add variety and interest to the human diet but in most circumstances do not qualify as 'nutrient-dense' foods.""For years before becoming deathly ill, I followed the dietary suggestions in the Whole Foods plan," said Kathryne Pirtle, author of Performance without Pain. "I ate large amounts of organic salads, vegetables and fruits, lots of whole grains, only a little meat and no animal fat. I had chronic pain for twenty-five years on this diet, then acid reflux, then a serious inflammation in my spine followed by chronic diarrhea. Without switching to nutrient-dense animal foods, including eggs, butter and whole dairy products, not only would I have lost my national career as a performing artist, I would have died at forty-five years old! I am not alone in this story of ill health from a low-fat, plant-based diet, which does not supply a person with enough nutrients to be healthy and can be very damaging to the intestinal tract."

"Consumers can send a message about Whole Foods' misinformed scheme by voting with their feet," says Fallon Morell. "Most major grocery store chains now carry basic organic staples and a larger array of organic fruits and vegetables than Whole Foods markets. And citizens should purchase seasonal produce and their meat, eggs and dairy products directly from farmers engaged in non-toxic and grass-based farming. It's not appropriate for Whole Foods to promote a scheme that has no scientific basis and that bulldozes their customers towards the higher profit items in their stores." The local chapters of the Weston A. Price Foundation help consumers connect with farmers raising animal foods in humane, healthy and ecologically friendly fashion.

"The growing emphasis on plant-based diets deficient in animal protein also serves to promote soy foods as both meat and dairy substitutes," says Kaayla T. Daniel, PhD, CCN, author of The Whole Soy Story: The Dark Side of America's Favorite Health Food. "Soy is not only one of the top eight allergens but has been linked in more than sixty years of studies to malnutrition, digestive distress, thyroid dysfunction, reproductive disorders including infertility, and even cancer, especially breast cancer." "Low-fat patients are my most unhealthy patients," says John P. Salerno, MD, a board certified family physician from New York City. "The reason we are spiraling into diabetes and obesity is because of the low-fat concept developed by the U.S government decades ago. Low-fat diets have a low nutrient base, and phytonutrients in vegetables cannot be properly absorbed without fat."Fallon Morell cites recent studies from Europe showing that low-fat diets promote weight gain in both children and adults, and also contribute to infertility. A meta-analysis published January, 2010 in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found no significant evidence that saturated fat consumption is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease.

"Whole Foods CEO John Mackay has stated that eating animal fats amounts to an addiction. But in fact, animal fats are essential for good health," says Fallon Morell. "The nutrients in animal fats, such as vitamins A, D and K, arachidonic acid, DHA, choline, cholesterol and saturated fat, are critical for brain function. In the misguided war against cholesterol and saturated fat, we have created an epidemic of learning disorders in the young and mental decline in the elderly.""Perhaps the vegetarian diet has affected the thinking powers of Whole Foods management," says Fallon Morell. "It's time for the stockholders to insist on leadership devoted to increasing customer base, not promoting a personal vegetarian agenda.
