Your Scenario: You've tried every diet but still have stubborn weight to lose. Does this hit close to home?
Dr. Wayne's Solution: I recommend a doctor-monitored cleanse to rid your body of toxic buildup as your body, in its wisdom, wraps toxins in fat cells to protect itself. Stubborn, excess fat will remain so because your body knows that if it releases the fat cell, it will also release the toxin and risk making you sick. Our “whole-body”, 30-day, Doctor-monitored program safely pulls out the toxin and the fat cell follows. The products within this program plus acupuncture and the support of a coach will guarantee success for your weight loss goals, as well as your whole body health. Are you ready?

Sunshine in a Bottle
Why is Dr. Tompkins prescribing so much Vitamin D these days? Well, consider it sunshine in a bottle. Some of the same benefits you get from that big yellow ball in the sky can be absorbed by taking Vitamin D. In summary, it knocks down inflammation across the board. All diseases are the result of a cumulation of inflammation...cancer, arthritis, Parkinson's, you name it. So, if you "nip it in the bud" by taking Vitamin D, (among adopting other healthy lifestyle habits) you might just steer clear of these. Yes, some diseases are because of family medical history but your tendency to succomb to any of these is only 49%...the other 51% is because of lifestyle choices. It's up to you!!

IMMUNITY: A condition of being able to resist a particular disease...
Living in fear of catching a bug? Just want to type out some tools for you to boost your body's immunity during this cold and scary flu season. You know, your body does not HAVE to succomb to every bug you encounter. Here are some tools that could keep you from another round of antibiotics:
1. Drink enough water...(see Hydration post)
2. Wash hands regularly and use a saline rinse for your nose
3. Eat an apple/day.
4. Reduce sugar...it weakens your immune system
5. Get your regular chiropractic adjustment - if your nervous system is working optimally, your body can better fight bugs and viruses.
6. Get a massage - studies link human touch through massage increase serotonin levels and increases natural killer cells.
7. Take probiotics. Healthy digestion = healthy immune system.
8. Take a multi-vitamin. We cannot possibly get all minerals and vitamins in the food we eat that is grown in who-knows-where, and laden with chemicals.
9. Get enough sleep. Wind down those projects/TV watching before hitting the hay and pop some magnesium - it's a miracle mineral for sleep.
10. Move your body. The weather outside is frightful, we know, but figure out a way to pump your blood (think "out with the old, in with the new") in a way that fits your interests/lifestyle.
BE WELL!

Candles Come Clean
We all love the ambience that only candles can create in our homes. But, what if candles are doing our bodies harm? As they say, the majority of toxic exposure occurs within the walls of our very own home.
We are fortunate that we crossed paths with a local candle afficionado that makes clean, soy, made-in-the-USA (even the jar!) candles. Her reputation is spreading...she recently received a substantial phone order from New York! You go, Ondria, owner of Butterfly Kiss candle company!! And the candles offer 50 hours of burn time - if you trim the wick, that is.
Many patients are sniffing what's behind our front desk. Have you? Butterfly Kiss makes all kinds of sense/scents...pumpkin struesal, hot buttered rum, lavendar, christmas tree, and the list goes on. Read more at the new Butterfly Kiss website: www.butterflykiss.me.

Natural Solutions to Asthma
For those of you who have had to make a late-night trip to the ER because your little son/daughter was struggling to breathe...this is for you. This Question/Answer column regarding asthma was featured in the local Kidding Around Family Resource Guide:
Q: My son has been diagnosed with acute asthma. I am wary of the medications and breathing treatments that have been prescribed him, which may have an adverse effect on his body and even his personality. What options do I have?
A: Your son's first line of defense in fighting asthma is to ensure the nerve supply in the cervical and upper thoracic spine is being fully expressed to the lungs, bronchial tubes and entire respiratory system. Once this gentle, specific and effective treatment has been administered, it will allow the brain to fully communicate without interference. In addition, I would take time to address any food sensitivities that may be causing inflammation. Finally, I will employ needle-free acupuncture therapy to "wake up" poor circulation and sluggish organ function.
Testimonial:
"In March '08, we met Dr. Wayne. Our son Connor underwent a week of treatments and the change in him was amazing. His breathing seemed to get easier and his congestion cleared up. We took him off steroids because he was doing so much better." -Michaela, KS

The Answer to Exhaustion: Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate!
Beep, beep, beep beep. The dreaded sound of your alarm clock reaches your ears. It’s 6 a.m. and time to roll out of bed. Your body is faced with the daunting challenge of leaving a semi-conscious state and arriving at the point of conscious mental function and increased working capacity of every system in your body. This includes elevated blood pressure and heart rate, and higher brain function. Unless you’re one of those rare morning people who embraces the early hours with vim vigor and vitality, the need for a caffeinated beverage is almost overwhelming. So you stumble out of bed hoping your senses won’t fail you as you make your way to the coffee pot (or tea pot) for a steaming cup of brew. Ahhhh. The jolt of caffeine is just the answer your body needs to come alive and face the day. … Or is it?
Water and your energy level
Most of us sleep through the night without drinking a drop of water. This means we go 6-8 hours without any water intake IF we have a glass just before we go to bed and immediately when we wake up. Isn’t it a bit ironic that the first thing we reach for when we awake is a beverage that depletes our body of still more water?! Caffeinated beverages are diuretics, meaning that coffee, tea and many soft drinks stimulate urination and water depletion from our bodies. Most of us agree that when we’re tired or low on energy, we need more oxygen to our brains. The chemical formula of water is H20, meaning that there are two atoms of hydrogen and 1 atom of oxygen in every molecule of water. So…if you really want your brain oxygenated, reach for ‘natures ale’. It’s natural, low cost, and an effective energy enhancer.
How much water should I drink?
Here’s the easy answer. Take your body weight and cut it in half. This number equals the number of ounces of water you should drink per day. Example: Mary Jo weighs 150 pounds. 150 /2 = 75oz. Mary Jo should drink a little more than 9 -8 oz. glasses of water per day. This amount is very conservative and would need to be supplemented for strenuous exercise, exposure to heat, or pregnant and nursing mothers.
Do the 3 week challenge
Let’s face it: most of us want a more technical and complicated answer to vim, vigor, and vitality. We’d rather embrace a sensational sports drink or the latest energy bar with a catchy logo. The fact is, the majority of these are loaded with sugar and/or caffeine, which bankrupt our bodies of their energy stores. Try giving water the benefit of the doubt for just three weeks. If you go for style, buy a sporty new flask exactly the size of your required intake. Fill it up each morning and pace yourself throughout the day to have it finished by bedtime. Be prepared for some side effects however. Lowered blood pressure and cholesterol with significant weight loss often accompany adequate water intake. Drink up!
