The war on vitamins and supplements

There is another story out that says that antioxidants don't help you live longer, and another one yesterday on garlic's effectiveness in lowering cholesterol-negative stories about vitamins and supplements.

Forgive me if I don't rush out and toss all my supplements in the garbage, but whenever I see stories like that I wonder if there is a conspiracy to suppress all natural cures.

Sadly, I think there is an office somewhere funded by the pharmaceutical companies that is trying to get these stories into print-so the only alternatives to are their drugs .

Hey, and if you don't take supplements -take this health analyzer test and follow the recommendations.

Big Apple

I am off to NYC with my family to see the sights. My daughters want to go to the American Girl store in Manhattan. Hopefully there will be something manly to do in the neighborhood.

Tennessee

We have been getting a lot of patients coming from Chattanooga and the surrounding areas.

Sure, it's not that far from us (35 miles) - but it goes to show you that if you provide good service and treat people well, they will travel large distances.

We also have truck driver patients that will travel from Salt Lake City to see us. (OK, when they happen to be in the state)

I try to visualize people coming from all parts of the world to Dalton, GA to get aligned. I'll keep you posted on how it goes.

Excitement

It's wonderful to see a patient get so excited about chiropractic that they will call friends or family to "COME SEE THIS GUY IMMEDIATELY!"

When people are that enthusiastic, it is a pleasure to work on them. This has been happening lately at our office-maybe it's because I've been working on my own attitude.

Evil Cinnamon roll

I' m on the fourth day of the Master Cleanser-a fast consisting of ingesting nothing but lemonade, maple syrup, and cayenne pepper. So far so good, since I've made it past the dreaded day #3 -where you generally feel lousy from the detox process.

The only thing that almost sidetracked me was seeing this huge cinnamon roll in the refrigerator! (thanks, Xiomara!) Other than that, smooth sailing.

If you want to read the master cleanser book, you can find it at Amazon.com

Wardrobe malfunction

When I got in to work today I noticed I had two different pairs of shoes on. One brown and one black. Had to make a run to the Wal-Mart to buy some ugly (but both the same color) shoes.

Snow, sleet and Ice (oh my!)

I made it in to work this morning. If i had listened to the weather reports, I probably would have closed the office today-but I am in.

I just hope I don't get stuck in the office tonight!
