    26-40 Why Not Give "God's Flu Shot" A Try?

    Episode 26-40 Why Not Give "God's Flu Shot" A Try? Walk  into any pharmacy this time of the year and you'll see a bunch of signs encouraging you to get a Flu shot. Why? Why do pharmacies heavily promote Flu shots? Is it because Flu shots actually prevent people from getting the Flu… or is it because the business of administering Flu shots is quite profitable? I'll let you answer that for yourself. I'll also ask you another question: Is there something better than a Flu shot? Something that does a better job at preventing the Flu? My answer is "Yes!"  There IS something better than a Flu shot. Something designed by God to help you avoid getting the Flu… or any other infection. It's called your Immune System and on this episode I teach you what you can do to strengthen yours. What you can do, naturally, to make your Immune System healthy and strong so that it can keep YOU healthy and strong. This is a timely episode as we are just now heading into "Cold and Flu" season and you don't won't to be left defenseless. So, if you want to avoid getting the Flu this year, give this episode a good listen. And, as always, please share it with a friend.   Thanks!  ———————- Want to learn more?

    26-39 You're Not Crazy… You're Out Of Alignment!

    Episode 26-39 You're Not Crazy… You're Out Of Alignment! Imagine walking around a Department Store, minding your own business, and a 22 pound box falls off of a shelf… landing directly on your head. The impact drives you to the floor where you lie dazed, confused and in pain. You're taken to the hospital and several hours later are told you have a concussion. You're also given prescriptions for a muscle relaxer, a pain killer, and an anti-inflammatory.  Several days later you visit a Neurologist who confirms the diagnosis of a concussion and tells you to continue with the medications. A few weeks go by and you're not any better. In fact, you're worse. Your daily headaches are turning into daily migraines… you have developed vertigo… you're experiencing tremors in your hands… and you are starting to feel depressed. To make matters worse, your Neurologist thinks you're "faking it" as do some of your family and friends… all of which causes you to question your sanity. Out of desperation, you turn to Facebook. Yes, Facebook. Specifically, a support group for individuals suffering with Post Concussion Syndrome. One of the members give you advice… advice that literally does more for you than any treatment you've received up to that point. What was this advice? I talk about it on this week's episode. Real advice, given to a real person with real problems… that resulted in real answers. Be sure to give this episode a good listen and, as always, share it with a friend.

    26-38 Help For Post-Concussion Syndrome, TMJ and Headaches

    Episode 26-38 Help For Post-Concussion Syndrome, TMJ and Headaches Very few Chiropractors, Medical Doctors and Physical Therapists receive training in the detection and correction of misalignments to the bones of the cranium (skull). Heck, very few Chiropractors, Medical Doctors and Physical Therapists are even aware that the bones of the cranium move and can become "misaligned," That's a shame because a misaligned cranial bone can be THE CAUSE of conditions such as Bell's Palsy, Trigeminal Neuralgia, Vertigo, Tinnitus, TMJ, Headaches, Neck Pain, Memory Loss, Brain Fog, Depression, Insomnia, and Impaired Vision. Although there are many potential causes of a misaligned cranial bone the most common one is head trauma. Yes, trauma to the head is the most common cause of a misaligned cranial bone and can be THE UNDERLYING CAUSE of the symptoms listed above. When this happens… when a person suffers head trauma and corresponding symptoms… it is called Post-Concussion Syndrome. For many sufferers of Post-Concussion Syndrome traditional care from a Chiropractor, Medical Doctor and/or Physical Therapist will provide relief. But not always. You see, there are some individuals with Post-Concussion Syndrome who WON'T get better from traditional care. Individuals who will continue to suffer for months, and even years, after the initial injury. This shouldn't be.  THESE individuals should be seeking out a doctor who is skilled in Cranial Therapy. Someone who knows how to detect and correct misalignments to the bones of the skull. On this week's episode I talk about Post-Concussion Syndrome… how it can cause the variety of symptoms listed above… and what doctors like myself do to correct it. Give this episode a good listen if you, or someone you know, has suffered with head trauma and/or the symptoms listed above. And, as always, please share this episode with a friend. Thanks! ———————- Want to learn more? Continue the conversation regarding this episode, and all future episodes, by signing up for our daily emails.

    26-37 A Natural Cure For Bell's Palsy And Trigeminal Neuralgia?

    Episode 26-37 A Natural Cure For Bell's Palsy And Trigeminal Neuralgia? Bell's Palsy is a condition in which the muscles on one side of a person's face lose their nerve supply and become weak. This weakness typically results in the eyebrow and corner of the mouth to droop on the affected side. The nerve involved is the 7th cranial nerve, also known as the Facial Nerve.   Trigeminal Neuralgia is a condition where a person experiences sudden and severe pain on one side of their face. The pain usually comes in bursts and can feel like an electrical shock. The nerve involved is the 5th cranial nerve, also known as the Trigeminal Nerve.   In both Bell's Palsy and Trigeminal Neuralgia a cure may be difficult to obtain through standard medical care. Fortunately, there are options beyond standard medical care. On this episode I explore one such option… an approach that I have used to help individuals who were suffering with Bell's Palsy or Trigeminal Neuralgia. Give this episode a good listen... especially if you, or someone you know, suffer with Bell's Palsy or Trigeminal Neuralgia. And, as always, please share this episode with a friend.

    26-36 Health Advice To A Doctor And A Preacher

    Episode 26-36 Health Advice To A Doctor And A Preacher One of the hardest things in life is knowing when to speak up… and when to stay quiet. Recently I was placed in such a position. I wasn't sure what to do. Ultimately, I chose to speak up. To say something to two really nice guys. One is a doctor and the other a preacher. I told them that I was concerned about their health. Specifically, I was concerned that they both had Insulin Resistance and that, left uncorrected, it would destroy their health and cut short their lives. Fortunately, they were receptive to my words which allowed me to tell them what I thought they should do to reverse their Insulin Resistance. And THAT'S what I share on this episode: The exact advice I gave this doctor and preacher. Advice I sincerely hope they take. Advice I hope YOU take… and then share with a friend.
