It is always a welcoming surprise to see chiropractic care and acupuncture on TV. Acupuncture has been mentioned on the Good Morning America Show and Opera. This week, Hell’s Kitchen showed chiropractic care. I love it! Keep your eyes open for more sightenings.
Last night I watched the best movie and it is called, “Facing the Giants.” It will revive your mind, body and spirit. I recommend that everyone see it.

Okay, so you’re probably not in the habit of ordering a la carte bread loaves at Subway, but there’s a good chance you’ve eaten at least a few sandwiches built on this bread. The good news is that Subway actually delivers on the nine-grain promise. The bad news: Eight of those nine grains appear in miniscule amounts. If you look at a Subway ingredient statement, you’ll find every grain except wheat listed at the bottom of the list, just beneath the qualifier “contains 2% or less.” In fact, the primary ingredient in this bread is plain old white flour, and high-fructose corn syrup plays a more prominent role than any single whole grain. Essentially this is a white-wheat hybrid with trace amounts of other whole grains like oats, barley, and rye.
So outside of the nine grains, how many ingredients does Subway use to keep this bread together? Sixteen, including such far-from-simple ingredients as DATEM, sodium steroyl lactylate, calcium sulfate, and azodiacarbonamide. But here’s one that’s a little unnerving: ammonium sulfate. This compound is loaded with nitrogen, which is why it’s most common use is as fertilizer. You might have used it to nourish your plants at home. And Subway does the same thing; the ammonium sulfate nourishes the yeast and helps the bread turn brown. What, did you think that dark hue was the result of whole grains? Hardly. It’s a combination of the ammonium sulfate and the caramel coloring. Seems like Jarod might frown on that sort of subterfuge.
Of course, in terms of calories, Subway’s still one of your best allies in the sandwich game. But here’s an even better idea: Whip up one of these 25 best sandwiches in America at home in minutes. You’ll save calories, money, and precious time.

As an ideal adjunct to chiropractic care, we use acupuncture when we see health problems that seem caused by disruption to energy pathways in your body called meridians. This centuries-old healing procedure focuses on the integrity of bodily systems, not specific conditions.
The most common question we get is about the needles we use. Most people have encountered hypodermic needles and sewing needles. Both types are gigantic compared to the ones we use. In fact, five of our needles could easily fit inside a hypodermic needle!
When we first insert these ultra-fine, sterile needles at special energy points on your body, most people report a small prick, like a mosquito bite. When there is discomfort it is usually created by vivid imaginations, not our needles!
No one knows for sure. We just know it does. Perhaps the best way to think about acupuncture is to imagine rivers of energy throughout your body, organized by meridians. These meridians can experience a “log jam” and energy flow is restricted. The needles help loosen the logjam and allow energy to circulate properly.
Acupuncture visits can take up to 15-20 minutes. Most people experience a variety of post-session feelings, which range from energized to a deep sense of relaxation and well-being.
One of the main goals of acupuncture is to maintain balance within the whole person, preventing illness and restoring health.
Though commonly used to alleviate chronic symptoms of the body, acupuncture is a holistic medium that embraces your body systems together to promote healing after injury, reduced symptoms, increased vitality, and better functioning body systems for a variety of conditions. Acupuncture is effective for conditions such as chronic pain, infertility, smoking cessation, stress management, depression, allergy, asthma, and reduced body function.
