fMRI showing abnormal amounts of cortical brain activity.

Dr Johnson’s Notes: 

A new kind of MRI called a “Functional MRI” has shown that spinal misalignments at the C1 vertebrae can impair cortical brain activity.  Misalignments at C1 have the potential to act as an irritant to the brainstem and produce a cascading neurologic effect on the cortex of the brain.  The cerebral cortex governs reason, understanding, decision-making and a whole host of higher brain functions.

This sort of neurologic impairment can produce problems in susceptible children.  That is why all children suffering “ADD-like” disorders should be evaluated by a Doctor of Chiropractic.

HEALTHCARE SAVINGS

The following are excerpts from research articles that illustrate financially why you and your family should be treated by a Chiropractic Physician.  The workmen’s compensation information is an indicator why every employee should have access to this form of healthcare.

Oct. 28, 2008 — The National Cancer Institute has halted its $114 million study of whether vitamin E and selenium can prevent prostate cancer.

They can’t — at least not in the formulations and dosages used in the study, called SELECT (SELenium and vitamin ECancer prevention Trial). The safety panel for the 35,000-man study called for a halt when an early look at the data showed no benefit for the treatment.

At this point, most confirmed cases in the United States have been mild and there have been no confirmed fatalities. However, in Mexico there has been a high case fatality rate among young adults, 25-44, with atypical pneumonia, which has similarities with the 1918 flu pandemic.

One of the most important studies was performed by Ronald Pero, Ph.D., chief of cancer prevention research at New York’s Preventive Medicine Institute and professor of medicine at New York University. It showed the positive effect that chiropractic care can have on the immune system and general health.

Dr. Pero measured the immune systems of people under chiropractic care as compared to those in the general population and those with cancer and other serious diseases. His initial three-year study was of 107 individuals who had been under chiropractic care for five years or more. The chiropractic patients were found to have a 200% greater immune competence than those people who had not received chiropractic care, and they had 400% greater immune competence than those people with cancer and other serious diseases.

Intestinal Yeast InfectionINTESTINAL DYSBIOSIS

One of the things that can produce acute discomfort in an infant is something called “Intestinal Dysbiosis.” 

When people hear that we treat children with Chiropractic in this office they are often surprised.  For many it never occured to them to have their children looked at. 

One reason, is the cultural misconception that children don’t have joint pain, joint dysfunction, or sufficient reason to be treated by a Chiropractor.  This couldn’t be further from the truth.  Kids can hurt just as much as adults.  They fall down more, they get their little bodies into weird positions more often, they are more active.  But it really starts at birth…

“The bottom line is that we’ve shown important biological and metabolic differences between the two major sugars [fructose and glucose] in the diet,

A leading consumer product rating and survey publisher released the survey results of more than 14,000 Americans on April 6.

The survey rated doctors of chiropractic as the top practitioner, with survey respondents noting that they were more likely to be “highly satisfied” with the care received from their doctor of chiropractic (59 percent) than their primary care physician (34 percent).

Until the 1970s most of the sugar we ate came from sucrose derived from sugar beets or sugar cane. Then sugar from corn—corn syrup, fructose, dextrose, dextrine and especially high fructose corn syrup (HFCS)—began to gain popularity as a sweetener because it was much less expensive to produce. High fructose corn syrup can be manipulated to contain equal amounts of fructose and glucose, or up to 80 percent fructose and 20 percent glucose.² Thus, with almost twice the fructose, HFCS delivers a double danger compared to sugar.

Australian doctors tested the fatty acid, DHA, in premature babies to see if it reduces the rate of mental retardation, which is more common in babies born very early, according to a study in today’s Journal of the American Medical Association.

Amsterdam, 25 March 2009 - The journal Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications (http://www.elsevier.com/locate/ybbrc) (BBRC), published by Elsevier, will publish an important review this week online, by M. Daniel Lane and colleagues at Johns Hopkins, building on the suggested link between the consumption of fructose and increased food intake, which may contribute to a high incidence of obesity and Type 2 diabetes.
