Tip to Sleep Better

Recent conversations with two of my patients reminded me of a basic action I recommend one do to improve one?€™s sleep. It?€™s as simple as this: don?€™t watch TV, especially before bedtime. I have always recommended little or no TV, especially for children. I also recommend not watching TV news programs. In addition to the actual news frequently being upsetting, the methods used to deliver news items on TV (and also radio) add to the upsetting quality of the information.

One of the women was having trouble sleeping for months. The last 6 days when she stopped watching TV before going to bed, she has gotten to sleep easily and slept soundly for 7-8 hours. It makes a world of difference to get a good night?€™s sleep! Try this and let me know how much it helps you.

Type II Diabetes

I just finished treating a patient whose blood sugar has tested elevated recently. Upon investigating more thoroughly for the underlying cause(s), there are several specific situations in this person?€™s body that are contributing to the malfunction of the pancreas (controls the blood sugar). Both the patient and I are so happy to know that the contributing causes can be addressed. We are both certain that with the treatments, supplements, and lifestyle changes that this ?€?Type II diabetes?€? can be resolved---without medications and in a way that will positively benefit many long-term health potentialities.

Symposium Update

My chiropractic internist gathering in Cincinnati two weekends ago was great, although intense. We had 24 hours of presenters in two-and-a-half days. PHEW!

I love being with this group of doctors. Many of them are from the group I studied with in Charlotte, NC every month for 2-and-a-half years in the mid-90?€™s during my original post-doctorate courses. All of these chiropractors are dedicated to being full-care natural physicians for their patients. It is very different for me compared to most chiropractic continuing education seminars which are much more limited in their scope. I feel like I am with my group.

There was a tremendous amount of information that I have already began to implement in my patients?€™ care. As I review and study my 10 pounds of notes there will be more to come to help people even more.
