Cleanse vs. Diet

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
