Even stressful events that happened years earlier can trigger long lasting effects in the brain. Events like death of a loved one, divorce, chronic illness of a loved one, caring for someone with mental illness. Having multiple stressful life events compounds the problem. There is a dysregulation of the brain-pituitary-adrenal axis that continues to over produce chemicals that make it harder to think and establish poor coping mechanisms. </span></span></span><br />

So if you are in a meeting or in class where you are supposed to concentrate and learn you won't be able to. Who can sit and do what they're suppose to do when the lion is getting ready to attack? When the lion is attacking your cortisol and adrenalin are pumping, flooding your brain with anxiety chemicals. Dopamine and Acetylcholine should be being produced which helps you be calm and learn.</span></span></span><br />

It is important to realize that people respond to stressful events differently. Only you can control how much you let the event affect you.

<br />
Taking the right supplements may also give you a fighting chance to prevent cognitive decline. There are many formulas to chose from, but one research article that resonated with me and what I'm trying to do is <a href="https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/BF03324139" target="_blank">this one</a>. Phosphatidylserine(PS) is a type of fatty acid that makes up brain cells. Young healthy brains have a larger supply of (PS) than the brains of older people showing the effects of aging. There is clinical evidence showing that supplementing with PS can improve behavior and improve comprehension and thinking.<br />
<br />
Take away: Don't let stress get you down and take your supplements.<br />

Can yogurt treat depression? Really, what’s that all about?</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 20px;">
Yogurt is a fermented food that has the good bacteria for your intestines. Real live cultures of Lactobacillus in the foods you eat can help balance the bacteria in your gut. That promotes a healthy gut environment so the balance of good bacteria out weighs the bad bacteria. This reduces the levels of anxiety and depression(1).</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 20px;">
There is a high correlation of depression and anxiety in people that have irritable bowel syndrome and Crohn’s Disease(1). With these gut problems there is an imbalance of the good bacteria. They don’t make the right amounts of GABA (gamma aminobutyric acid). Other reasons for having an imbalance in intestinal flora is eating a diet high in processed sugary foods. Taking antibiotics will disrupt the normal bowel flora. As well as certain medications.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 20px;">
GABA (gamma aminobutyric acid) is the main inhibitory neurotransmitter of the central nervous system. It works to slow down the hyperactivity in the brain causing anxiety, then being overwhelmed with a sense of hopelessness and depression. By having a healthy gut, you increase your ability to make higher levels of GABA and decrease pathogenic bacteria.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 20px;">
Not just yogurt, but naturally fermented foods like sauerkraut, kimchi, and lots of other vegetables have the good bacteria in it. We need to be aware of where we get our fermented foods. The commercialized products we get at the grocery stores may not be the best source of good gut food. They are processed for mild taste and shelf life so the bacteria are not helpful. The yogurt you get out of the dairy case may be filled with sugar, High fructose corn syrup, dyes and additives which can even be more harmful for your intestines.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 20px;">
Making your own fermented vegetables is an option and might be fun. There are many recipes available online. However, shopping at local health food stores for unprocessed products and natural yogurts such as kefir and lassi.Drinking kombucha can provide good bacteria also. Eating a variety of different foods can increase your chances to help get all the right bacteria.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 20px;">
Don’t like fermented foods? Take a supplement to get your good gut bacteria, called probiotics. Get a good brand from a reputable source. The bottles need to be protected from the sun and heat. They are live cultures, you don’t want to kill them before you get them into your system. Everyone’s gut is different, so no one supplement is right for everyone. Rotate the variety of bacteria strains you take so you can get a broad spectrum. I have my favorite from <a href="http://tlund.metagenics.com/mp/products/ultraflora-spectrum" target="_blank"><span style="color: #f35029;"><span style="box-sizing: inherit; transition-delay: initial; transition-duration: 0.2s; transition-property: all;">this company</span></span>.</a></div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 20px;">
There are more reasons to get your gut working properly and having a good balance of bacteria. Things like immune support, behavioral and learning issues in children, autism, food sensitivities and more. Maybe a subject for another blog post.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 20px;">
I’d love to hear from you. Please leave comment and let me know what you have done to help your guts feel better.</div>

How can your daily cup of coffee be good for you?</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 20px;">
The first cup of coffee in the morning can be more than just a habit. It can be the key to a successful day. When you have your cup of coffee you not only have the opportunity to sit and be grateful for the things you have, you also promote Dopamine transmission. Dopamine is a chemical in the brain that is active in cognitive function, motivation, arousal and movement.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 20px;">
Cognitive function? Do I mean that Coffee is good for how well your brain works? Yes! It can play a role in getting the spark and the drive you need for thinking, memory and getting things done. There are a number of studies that show long term of use of coffee, tea and caffeine will actually decrease your risk for age related dementia and the onset of Alzheimer’s Disease.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 20px;">
When I say coffee and caffeine can be good for your brain, that doesn’t mean that adding cream and sugar is good for you too. Those sugared up coffee drinks can actually erase all the good and be bad for your brain. No energy drinks either, Eeek! Read about that coming up. Learn to drink and enjoy the pure simple taste of a great roasted high quality coffee.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 20px;">
Even though it has been proven that there are benefits of drinking coffee and caffeine you have to keep your own experiences in mind. Do not start drinking coffee if you know you already suffer from adverse effects. Coffee can disturb your sleep if you don’t detoxify it well. We can talk about that another time. As always, please contact your own doctor starting or adding anything new.<br />

She looked at me as though I sprouted another head!<br />
" It is microwave, why?" That lead me to realize that not everyone is aware of the health hazards and potentially toxic effects of everyday food.<br />
<br />
It's not the popcorn that's the problem, it's the lining of the bag and the artificial butter flavor.<br />
The coating on the inside of the bag gets hot and breaks down into a chemical called perfluorooctanoic (PFOA), a "likely carcinogen" says the EPA.<br />
<br />
The second potential danger is the butter flavor that causes "popcorn workers lung". The workers in the popcorn factory get a dangerous form of bronchitis. I don't want that chemical flavoring in my body or my kids either.<br />
<br />
We make our own popcorn at home. I like air popped with real butter melted over it and sea salt or sometimes, garlic salt. Plain and simple. My husband likes popcorn made on the stove. We refer to it as "fried popcorn".<br />
<br />
I know my kids will go with convenient when out on their own at school and events, but I don't worry. I know the majority of their food is whole and natural. They are healthy and their immune systems are strong. They get regular Chiropractic care😉.<br />

What's been going on with Dr. Tamara?<br /><br /><span style="font-size: 14px;">Its been a great vacation! When I looked back and saw it was November when I sent you my last news letter I was floored! So much has changed around our office. Our long time receptionist Tammy has move to Tennessee to be near her grandchildren and is loving life. My longtime assistant and office manager Lindsay, left to be a stay at home mom. I have to say I was not surprised and happy for her to be able to live out her dream. In the mean time we have new staff!!</span><br /><span style="font-size: 14px;">Kara is my new assistant who came from being a stay at home mom. She has a huge learning curve and is meeting the challenge with excellence. Selena is our new receptionist. She has experience from a local optometrist and is bringing her patient service skill to you.<br />Over</span> <span style="font-size: 14px;">Christmas vacation we took a family trip to Colorado. It was a family reunion in Colorado Springs. Since we were there, we might as well take advantage of skiing in Winter Park. The kids had a blast and many memories were made. Yes, I am ducking down to be in the front row. I am still the tallest in the family, but not by much.<br /><br /> <img align="none" height="315" src="https://gallery.mailchimp.com/1e9067d30516b0b1bba191d88/images/fa5b7d83-d3f6-4225-8146-effeb2e92ae5.jpg" style="border: 0px; height: 315px; margin: 0px; outline: none; width: 512px;" width="512" /></span></h1>

<div style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 16px;">
We have had a few days off for the Thanksgiving holiday. I made good use
of my time by resting and just being present in my house and with my
family. It is so nice being able to hang out with my kids doing nothing
but a little coercion in getting the house work done. We were able to
spend time at a friends house on Thanksgiving day and enjoyed a
fantastic meal. Spent black Friday shopping locally in downtown
Sonora.Then we had a wonderful holiday celebration on Saturday with
family and friends.<img align="none" height="480" shrinktofit="true" src="https://gallery.mailchimp.com/1e9067d30516b0b1bba191d88/images/e2bbf8f4-bd25-473e-bc65-96a68fa08a86.jpg" style="border: 0px; height: 480px; margin: 0px; outline: none; width: 640px;" width="640" />

<br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif-light, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-weight: lighter !important; line-height: 1.2;">Thanksgiving
is one of my most favorite holidays. Not only for all of the wonderful
food, and not only that my husband does all the cooking. But it's a time
we get to share with family and reflect on what we're thankful for. </span></span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial,sans-serif-light,sans-serif; font-size: xx-small; font-weight: lighter !important; line-height: 15.6px;"> I have even suggested to the kids that I want them to reserve Thanksgiving for our</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif-light, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-weight: lighter !important; line-height: 15.6px;"> family even as they get older and have families of their own.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif-light, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-weight: lighter !important; line-height: 15.6px;">As
I take this time and reflect on all the things I have to be grateful
for, I realize there is so much. Why do I only use this week to count my
blessings? There are 52 weeks in a year, and better yet 365 days in a
year. Instead of picking one thing a day I'm thankful for because I get
all caught up in, "Wait, I was thankful for that last week." I'll write
down 3 wins I had today. If I'm on my "A" game, I'll write 3 things I'll
win tomorrow! Sounds inspiring </span><span style="line-height: 15.6px;">doesn't</span><span style="font-weight: lighter !important; line-height: 15.6px;"> it? This idea comes from my friend, </span><a href="http://www.jeffwalker.com/gratitude-habit/?inf_contact_key=675589438e8d865c9d1b5e8e313e6644234ed99e9a5a90d6105b513f956680e9" style="color: #2baadf; font-weight: lighter !important; line-height: 15.6px;" target="_blank">Jeff Walker</a><span style="font-weight: lighter !important; line-height: 15.6px;">.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: lighter !important; line-height: 15.6px;">As I'm
gearing up for a year in gratitude one of the major things on my list is
my health and the health of my family. I have learned so much about the
care and feeding of the human frame. Not only physically but mentally
as well. Diet, exercise, positive mental attitude, and neurofeedback.
Positive mental attitude can be a stumbling point for someone with
anxiety or/and depression and neurofeedback can play a major part in
helping overcome those symptoms.<br />
<br />
We've seen some amazing turnarounds in people using our <a href="http://www.clearmindcenter.com/" style="color: #2baadf;" target="_blank">ClearMind system of retraining your brain</a>.
The first step is to evaluate how your brain waves are functioning in
each part of your head, then assign treatment protocols to get them
firing properly. Training your brain is easy and fun! </span></span></span></div>

The Neuro Map: It’s What Makes Our System Better</h2>
<div style="font-family: Raleway, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; padding: 0px 0px 1.2em;">
The Clear Mind system includes the Neuro mapping feature, which gives you the whole picture for each person in a detailed report. Also known as brain mapping, this process allows you to visualize inside the brain and identify very clearly the irregular brainwaves that cause neurological issues. From that brain map, a report is generated for each patient that shows the areas of dysfunction and the protocols recommended to address them.</div>
<div style="font-family: Raleway, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; padding: 0px 0px 1.2em;">
A customized system means more accurate training, faster results and happier patients. This results in a higher success rate and can lead to quality referrals and more business through your door.</div>
<h2 style="font-family: Oswald, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 26px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 0.8em; padding: 0px; word-wrap: normal;">
How Does Brain Mapping Work?</h2>
<div style="font-family: Raleway, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; padding: 0px 0px 1.2em;">
<img align="right" alt="brain map cap" height="100" src="http://www.clearmindcenter.com/protected_content/04_brain_mapping_cap.jpg" style="border: none; box-sizing: border-box; height: auto; margin: 0px; max-width: 100%; padding: 0px; vertical-align: bottom;" width="85" />Using a cap placed on the scalp, our software captures the electrical impulses in the brain. This method is known as an electroencephalogram (EEG). The results show brain wave patterns in different parts of the brain. The process takes about 15 minutes, and the data is then converted into a visual brain map report. We analyze the brain map report and identify any problem areas. The report will display the results in a clear and concise format that can be easily understood.</div>

Another name for coenzyme Q<span style="bottom: -0.25em; box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 8.88000011444092px; line-height: 0; position: relative; vertical-align: baseline;">10</span>—<em style="box-sizing: border-box;">ubiquinone</em>—gives us an idea of just how important a compound it is, and how frequently it’s found in living organisms. It is “ubiquitous,” as it is found in almost all cell membranes and lipoproteins, where it <a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17914161" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #003b78; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">inhibits the peroxidation of structural lipids</a>. Its most well-known role, however, is in transferring electrons along the mitochondrial electron transport chain. The “10” part of CoQ<span style="bottom: -0.25em; box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 8.88000011444092px; line-height: 0; position: relative; vertical-align: baseline;">10</span> refers to its biochemical structure, which consists of ten isoprene units attached to a benzoquinone head. </div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box;">
CoQ<span style="bottom: -0.25em; box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 8.88000011444092px; line-height: 0; position: relative; vertical-align: baseline;">10</span> is a fat-soluble compound synthesized endogenously on a branch of the mevalonate pathway, which also produces cholesterol. Dietary sources highest in CoQ<span style="bottom: -0.25em; box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 8.88000011444092px; line-height: 0; position: relative; vertical-align: baseline;">10</span> are animal proteins (beef, poultry and fish), with smaller amounts occurring in nuts and seeds, and even smaller amounts found in some vegetables and fruits. Among animal sources of CoQ<span style="bottom: -0.25em; box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 8.88000011444092px; line-height: 0; position: relative; vertical-align: baseline;">10</span>, the richest concentrations occur in hardworking tissue, such as <a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18272335" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #003b78; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">heart, liver and kidney</a>. Because it can be synthesized internally, it’s not technically an “essential” nutrient. However, as is the case with many vitamins and minerals, supplemental amounts of this nutrient may be beneficial for<a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19932599" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #003b78; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">ameliorating specific health conditions</a>, preventing or limiting oxidative damage, and giving the body a leg up when it comes to performing certain tasks. </div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box;">
One area in which CoQ<span style="bottom: -0.25em; box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 8.88000011444092px; line-height: 0; position: relative; vertical-align: baseline;">10</span> may offer a slight advantage is in physical exercise performance and recovery. This isn’t surprising, considering its aforementioned role in the mitochondrial electron transport chain—the mechanism by which the vast majority of skeletal muscle cells’ energy (ATP) is generated. Sufficient CoQ<span style="bottom: -0.25em; box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 8.88000011444092px; line-height: 0; position: relative; vertical-align: baseline;">10, </span>therefore, is instrumental in providing the body with the energy to perform physical exercise, but this nutrient’s role extends even further than that. As a powerful antioxidant, supplemental CoQ<span style="bottom: -0.25em; box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 8.88000011444092px; line-height: 0; position: relative; vertical-align: baseline;">10 </span>has been shown to <a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21990004" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #003b78; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">reduce oxidative stress and inflammation</a> induced by strenuous exercise. In highly trained male athletes, oral CoQ<span style="bottom: -0.25em; box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 8.88000011444092px; line-height: 0; position: relative; vertical-align: baseline;">10</span>supplementation was shown to decrease membrane hydroperoxides, 8-Hydroxy-2’-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG, a marker for DNA damage due to oxidation), and the inflammatory marker, TNF-α. It also resulted in reduced creatinine excretion, suggestive of decreased muscle tissue damage.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box;">
A double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial involving elite Japanese athletes engaging in long bouts of kendo (a martial art) showed that CoQ<span style="bottom: -0.25em; box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 8.88000011444092px; line-height: 0; position: relative; vertical-align: baseline;">10</span> supplemented at 300mg/day was effective for lowering lipid peroxidation, serum myoglobin, and serum creatine kinase compared to placebo, suggesting that <a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18284711" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #003b78; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">supplementation may reduce exercise-induced muscle damage</a>.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box;">
These findings are logical, given CoQ<span style="bottom: -0.25em; box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 8.88000011444092px; line-height: 0; position: relative; vertical-align: baseline;">10</span>’s well-recognized antioxidant function. Regarding the role of CoQ<span style="bottom: -0.25em; box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 8.88000011444092px; line-height: 0; position: relative; vertical-align: baseline;">10 </span>in enhancing athletic performance, however, <a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/14695924" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #003b78; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">a systematic review</a> of studies provided mixed results. Studies included trained as well as untrained subjects, across a variety of activities, including cycling, skiing, and general athletics. In the studies that did show a benefit from CoQ<span style="bottom: -0.25em; box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 8.88000011444092px; line-height: 0; position: relative; vertical-align: baseline;">10, </span>the positive changes were in maximum oxygen consumption, and exercise capacity. It may be that supplementation only benefited those with lower levels to begin with, and most of the studies involved small sample sizes, which may have weakened the findings.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box;">
There may still be a small role for CoQ<span style="bottom: -0.25em; box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 8.88000011444092px; line-height: 0; position: relative; vertical-align: baseline;">10</span> in athletic performance, however. In a double-blind, crossover RCT employing 300mg/day of CoQ<span style="bottom: -0.25em; box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 8.88000011444092px; line-height: 0; position: relative; vertical-align: baseline;">10</span>, the test group reached a greater maximum velocity and reported <a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18272335" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #003b78; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">reduced subjective fatigue</a>, compared to placebo, after performing workload trials on a bicycle ergometer.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box;">
Rather than providing athletes—and weekend warriors, alike—with a performance edge during exercise, it seems the benefits of CoQ<span style="bottom: -0.25em; box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 8.88000011444092px; line-height: 0; position: relative; vertical-align: baseline;">10 </span>are more closely tied to its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory function. The CoQ<span style="bottom: -0.25em; box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 8.88000011444092px; line-height: 0; position: relative; vertical-align: baseline;">10</span>-mediated decrease in cellular damage incurred by exercise may reduce recovery time and better prepare athletes for their next training session.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box;">
Bottom line: CoQ<span style="bottom: -0.25em; box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 8.88000011444092px; line-height: 0; position: relative; vertical-align: baseline;">10</span> isn’t going to turn a couch potato into an Olympic medalist, but by decreasing the cellular damage induced by exercise, and reducing feelings of fatigue, it might help people engage more frequently in physical activities they enjoy, which may contribute to overall improved health.</div>

Changes everywhere</h3>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; padding: 0px;">
To start with, our newsletter and website is a change that I'll be keeping up on. I have asked you for your email address to add to you to our newsletter and here it is finally. I will be sending it out periodically. Once a month or a couple of times a year:). Please visit<a href="http://www.communitychiro.org/" style="color: #6dc6dd; word-wrap: break-word;" target="_blank"> Communitychiro.org</a> and like us on facebook.<br /><br />Our office is keeping busy being a presence in our community. We attended an open house for Crossfit Sonora, took part in some work out classes and met some wonderful people. We had a booth at the 4th annual Spirit Mind Body Expo at the Sonora Opera Hall. Introduced Dr. Jose Barajas, DC and explained to many of you about new Neurofeedback therapy from <a href="http://www.clearmindcenter.com/" style="color: #6dc6dd; word-wrap: break-word;" target="_blank">Clearmindcenter.com</a> (more about this later). Most recently we were at the ICES children's resource fair at the Motherlode Fairgrounds letting parents know that chiropractic is for children too! I got a first hand feel at how it is to stand on cement floors all day. I tried to pay my children/husband to massage my feet but had no takers.<br /><br />This weekend we will be participating in the American Cancer Society's Relay for Life. It is a 24 hour walk to raise money to fight cancer. We are Team Melody representing and honoring Melody Holloway who had liver cancer when she was 3. She will be turning 6 this summer and we are so grateful for spirit and will. Please join us at Sonora Elementary May 2nd at 9 am for the survivor lap and walk with us to fight cancer.<br />.<img align="center" height="320" src="https://gallery.mailchimp.com/1e9067d30516b0b1bba191d88/images/6d8a8e60-78f7-4fec-bd33-8935d528fc7d.jpg" style="border: 0px; height: 320px; margin: 0px; outline: none; width: 470px;" width="470" /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; padding: 0px;">
<br />I would like to introduce Dr. Jose Barajas. He has joined us here at Community Chiropractic maintaining his independent practice. He comes to us as a 5 year graduate from Palmer Chiropractic College West, in the bay area. He is from Modesto and looking forward to moving to Tuolumne County soon. He is able to see patients same day and take walk-ins. Part of the interview process is giving me an adjustment, and he passed with flying colors. I trust him with my spine, you can too.<img align="none" height="480" src="https://gallery.mailchimp.com/1e9067d30516b0b1bba191d88/images/1d1c89d8-03c8-46a8-b958-8503b811bf3a.jpg" style="border: 0px; height: 480px; margin: 0px; outline: none; width: 380px;" width="380" /><br /><br />Keeping with the current theme of exercise and fitness here is an article from Mercola.com</div>

Why Exercise is Essential if You Have Neck Pain</h2>
<blockquote style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 0px 38px; quotes: none; vertical-align: baseline;">
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background: transparent; border: 0px; color: #606060; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 15px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px; margin-bottom: 16px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Because exercise often leads to improved posture, range of motion and functionality of your body, it can help treat the underlying source of your pain as well as help prevent chronic neck pain from developing in the first place. Exercise helps prevent and relieve pain through a number of mechanisms including strengthening key supportive muscles and restoring flexibility.</div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background: transparent; border: 0px; color: #606060; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 15px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px; margin-bottom: 16px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Not surprisingly, repetitive strain injuries have become increasingly common as so many people spend most of their work days sitting in front of computers. Computer work is associated with neck pain specifically originating from the trapezius muscle, also referred to as trapezius myalgia, and many types of neck pain can be traced back to poor posture at work or during your commute.</div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background: transparent; border: 0px; color: #606060; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 15px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px; margin-bottom: 16px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
It's a vicious cycle as poor sitting posture leads to neck pain and once neck pain develops, it can make your posture even worse. For instance, one study showed people with chronic neck pain demonstrate a reduced ability to maintain an upright posture when distracted.<span style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background: transparent; border: 0px; font-size: 10px; line-height: 0; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; position: relative; top: -0.5em; vertical-align: baseline;"><a href="http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2012/02/24/chiropractors-and-exercise-better-than-drug.aspx#_edn3" name="_ednref3" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; color: #0869bd; cursor: pointer; margin: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; word-break: break-word; word-wrap: break-word;">iii</a></span></div>

The same study further revealed, however, that after following a specific exercise program, people with neck pain had an improved ability to maintain a neutral cervical posture during prolonged sitting, which suggests it may help break the poor posture/neck pain cycle. Other research has similarly shown that exercise is incredibly beneficial for treating neck pain including:</div>

Living with a child with ADD or ADHD can be confusing, exhausting and very stressful. From “explaining” their behaviors to others and researching different medications and side effects of those medications it can begin to consume your entire life.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 5px; padding: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 5px; padding: 0px;">
According to the Center For Disease Control, approximately 11% of children 4-17 years of age (6.4 million) have been diagnosed with ADHD as of 2011. And those numbers are growing each year, the percentage of children with an ADHD diagnosis continues to increase, from 7.8% in 2003 to 9.5% in 2007 and to 11.0% in 2011. The main form of treatment for children struggling with ADHD is stimulant medication, which can have serious and detrimental side effects like loss of appetite, difficulty sleeping, stomachaches, or emotional issues.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 5px; padding: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 5px; padding: 0px;">
There is another way and it doesn’t involve medication, it involves science and reconditioning your children’s brain. Neurofeedback therapy is a natural process that enables us to measure and view brain waves. Brain waves occur at various frequencies. Some are fast, and some are quite slow. But remember, there is no bad or good wave. But, if we have too much of one or the other, the imbalance can negatively affect us. Through Neurofeedback therapy we can help your child regulate undesirable brain activity and enhance desirable brain activity, all without medication.<br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />Sounds pretty amazing right? Well, it is! If you’re still on the fence about it, don’t hesitate to schedule a free consultation with Tamara Lund, DC today and learn more about this revolutionary new treatment that’s leaving pill bottles and side effects in the rear view mirror.</div>

Many of the conditions helped with EEG biofeedback are correlated with disorders of sleep. These include epilepsy, anxiety and depression, closed head injury, hyperactivity and attention deficit disorder, chronic pain and fibromyalgia, Tourette’s syndrome. Even when poor sleep is not the cause for referral for biofeedback, it is often mentioned as a problem during the intake interview. The first reported signs of change upon initiating EEG training often relate to the quality of sleep. We believe that the principal mechanism of efficacy of EEG training is that it normalizes self-regulation of physiological arousal, and the beneficial effects of the training on sleep can be explained in the same manner. When self-regulation is deficient, this should be apparent when arousal level is least tightly regulated, i.e. during sleep in general, and during transitions between sleep stages in particular. Nothing so cogently demonstrates that EEG biofeedback confers a new competence to the brain–as opposed to a consciously applied tool to the patient–than its efficacy in remediating disorders of sleep.</div>

Bedwetting is among the most common symptoms seen in our clinical population, which consists largely of persons with attentional deficits (bedwetting is seen in 30% of institutionalized children; i.e. there is a high correlation with minor neurological deficits). In more than 90% of children under twelve with this condition, remediation is expected within the first twenty sessions of training. In older children and in adults, the problem is more resistant to remediation. It may take more training sessions than in younger children. We have seen much lower incidence of sleep walking, sleep talking, and night terrors. However, remediation is also observed for these conditions. Excessive fears about falling asleep, or about sleeping in one’s own bed, usually remediate very quickly with the onset of training.</div>

There is an intimate connection of insomnia with disorders of arousal such as anxiety and depression. The success of EEG training in effecting improved self-regulation of arousal should, therefore, be expected to result in improved regulation of sleep in these cases, and that is what we observe.</div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 16px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Sleep apnea is generally thought to consist of a central, neurological component, and a somatic, obstructive component, the latter due to the fact that the condition closely correlates with obesity. Obstructive sleep apnea has historically been treated surgically, with rather poor outcomes, so that surgery is now gradually being abandoned in favor of a breathing aid device which provides continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP). EEG training has been successful in fully remediating apnea episodes in adult males, even in the absence of any other behavioral changes such as weight loss. The condition is seen as arising from cortical under arousal.</div>

Neurofeedback training often helps these problems as it improves brain regulation. These are common reports: A 75 year-old reported recently that she “slept like a baby for the first time in 25 years” after neurofeedback training. Parents of children with ADHD often say it’s easier to get their kids to sleep. Depressed clients remark they have a much easier time getting going in the morning.</div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 16px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

Neuroscience has established the role of neuromodulator systems in the brainstem that play a role in maintaining awake states and, conversely, help the brain sleep. The EEG (brainwaves) clearly reflects changes in sleep stages. Training brainwaves using neurofeedback to decrease or increase slow brainwave activity, or to increase specific EEG activation patterns appears to help the brain normalize sleep. Based on reports from a large number of licensed health professionals the evidence shows that training the EEG impacts sleep regulatory mechanisms and people sleep better. Since sleep is complex and involves many systems, it is not possible to suggest that sleep problems always improve as a result of neurofeedback. But clinicians say that they routinely expect changes to occur in sleep patterns after appropriate training for a large percentage of their patients. As with any program, a complete sleep assessment is helpful. Sleep hygiene issues (including caffeine, alcohol and other behavioral factors) and other potential contributory factors such as possible sleep apnea also need to be carefully reviewed and corrected in combination with neurofeedback training.</div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 16px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Sleep is a good example of the research challenge of neurofeedback. There are good neurofeedback studies in ADHD, epilepsy and addiction. The fact that no significant studies exist on sleep and neurofeedback is remarkable. In virtually every study related to neurofeedback outcomes, changes to sleep are noted, but not always highlighted or even reported.</div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 16px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Sleep researchers are primarily unaware of neurofeedback and its implications for insomnia and other sleep disorders. Hopefully, cross-fertilization between clinically-oriented therapists and sleep researchers can occur. As in many academic areas, this kind of cross fertilization can take significant time and funding. Because of the vast amount of literature about brain regulation, sleep and the EEG, there is a solid basis for using neurofeedback with sleep problems. Hundreds of experienced licensed professionals have used this modality successfully to improve sleep for over 25 years.</div>

<img alt="cmc_header_what_is_neurofeedback" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-249" height="250" src="http://www.clearmindcenter.com/wp-content/uploads/cmc_header_what_is_neurofeedback1.jpg" style="border-style: none; height: auto; max-width: 100%; vertical-align: top;" width="665" /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #747474; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 20px;">
<span style="color: #336699; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25em; font-weight: bold; text-transform: uppercase;">WHAT IS NEUROFEEDBACK?</span><br />Neurofeedback is a type of biofeedback that uses electroencephalography (EEG) to provide a signal that can be used by a person to receive feedback about brain activity. The EEG signal is fed into computer software first then the feedback, usually a movie or music, is returned to the person being trained. This feedback loop can produce changes in brainwave activity. The process used to adjust brainwave activity is known as <strong>operant conditioning</strong>, which is a method where rewards for positive behavior increase learning capabilities.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #747474; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 20px;">
The concept is fairly simple. The computer monitors your brainwaves while you watch a movie or listen to music. When deviations from normal brainwave activity occur, the computer triggers an audio or visual cue that alerts the patient that they are outside normal ranges. These cues are received by the brain, which subconsciously adjusts itself back to a normal pattern to make the cue stop. With enough repetition of this process, the brain eventually learns to stay in the normal ranges on its own without the computer. With the brain functioning normally on its own, symptoms of irregular brain activity will decline.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #747474; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 20px;">
<img align="right" alt="" height="210" src="http://www.clearmindcenter.com/protected_content/02_ADHD.jpg" style="border-style: none; height: auto; max-width: 100%; vertical-align: top;" width="240" />It has been well documented that people who suffer neurological problems have abnormal brain waves in certain areas of the brain. For instance, case studies using QEEG “brain maps” have shown that people with Attention-Deficit-Disorder (ADD) have elevated delta brainwaves, while those who suffer from depression have elevated alpha brainwaves. Those with anxiety will have elevated Beta brainwaves, while those suffering from memory loss usually have decreased theta brainwaves.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #747474; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 20px;">
Training the brain using neurofeedback can change these brainwaves over time, adjusting them into normal, healthy ranges. It can improve alertness, attention, emotional regulation, behavior, cognitive function, and mental flexibility. When the brain moves back into normal ranges, users will often see a reduction in symptoms.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #747474; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 20px;">
The best part of neurofeedback is that results are often permanent, allowing a person to reduce or even eliminate medications altogether. Where medications only manage the symptoms, the goal of neurofeedback is to address the underlying cause and restore normal brainwave functions.</div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 10px;">
More and more parents are seeking chiropractic care for their children. Many spinal problems seen in adults began as early as birth. Even so called “natural” birthing methods can stress an infant’s spine and developing nerve system. The resulting irritation to the nerve system caused by spinal and cranial misalignment can be the cause of many newborn health complaints. Colic, breathing problems, nursing difficulties, sleep disturbances, allergic reactions and chronic infections can often be traced to nerve system stress.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 10px;">
Since significant spinal trauma can occur at birth, many parents have their newborns checked right away. As the infant grows, learning to hold up the head, sit, crawl and walk are all activities that affect spinal alignment and are important times to have a child checked by a Doctor of Chiropractic.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 10px;">
As the child begins to participate in regular childhood activities like skating or riding a bike, small yet significant spinal misalignments (subluxations) may occur. If neglected, the injuries during this period of rapid growth may lead to more serious problems later in life. Subtle trauma throughout childhood will affect the future development of the spine leading to impaired nervous system function. Any interference to the vital nerve system will adversely affect the body’s ability to function at its best.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYQRDfU1hOC8c0JCI0SxfYMlNHpl3q4QDZXtO163f2MCNgdukdjZ04dwaCJXBUNPeTqj0hN007c_iuO48EgXMaK3GGYq7OpQv8KvXRxmhSN4Um_ufdwciTQQ5OF-r9HDQrhUioPE6zaeA/s1600/chiromelody.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYQRDfU1hOC8c0JCI0SxfYMlNHpl3q4QDZXtO163f2MCNgdukdjZ04dwaCJXBUNPeTqj0hN007c_iuO48EgXMaK3GGYq7OpQv8KvXRxmhSN4Um_ufdwciTQQ5OF-r9HDQrhUioPE6zaeA/s1600/chiromelody.jpg" height="200" width="200" /></a></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 10px;">
One of the most common reasons parents seek care for their child is trauma from an injury of some sort. These misalignments may or may not result in immediate pain or symptoms. Regular chiropractic checkups can identify potential spinal injury from these traumas, make the correction early in life and help avoid many of the health complaints seen later in adults. Proper spinal hygiene is an important key to better health.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 10px;">
Another sought out reason for care is the resolution of a particular symptom or condition. Parents seek care for conditions such as colic, ear infections, asthma, allergies and headaches (to name a few) because they have heard from other parents that chiropractic care can help.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 10px;">
It is important to understand that the Doctor of Chiropractic does not treat conditions or diseases. The expertise of the chiropractor is in checking the child’s spine for misalignments that impair nervous system function therefore affecting overall body function. The bones of the spine, the vertebrae, house and protect the spinal cord. The spinal cord is an extension of the brain and carries information from the brain to the body parts and back to the brain again. Subluxations interfere with the nerves’ ability to transmit this vital information.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 10px;">
The nerve system controls and coordinates the function of all the systems in the body: circulatory, respiratory, digestive, hormonal, eliminative and immune system. Any aspect of health may be impaired by nerve interference. The chiropractic adjustment restores nerve system function allowing the body the ability to express a greater state of health and well-being.</div>
<div>
<div style="line-height: 16.2000007629395px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 10px;">
The Doctor of Chiropractic will take a case history and perform a chiropractic exam to determine if spinal subluxations exist. Chiropractic adjusting procedures are modified to fit a child’s size, weight, and unique spinal condition. They are both gentle and specific to the child’s developing spinal structures. Most parents report that their children enjoy their chiropractic adjustments and look forward to subsequent visits. They also report that their children experience a greater level of health while under regular chiropractic care.</div>
<div style="line-height: 16.2000007629395px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 10px;">
To enhance your child’s ability to function in a greater state of health, we can help you find a Doctor of Chiropractic near you who is dedicated to serving children with the utmost of care. Once your family has experienced the many benefits of chiropractic care—please help us tell others!</div>

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">A growing body of research suggests there's a powerful connection between your diet and your risk of Alzheimer's disease via similar pathways that cause type 2 diabetes.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Back in 2005, a published medical paper introduced a new disease tentatively dubbed <strong>"type 3 diabetes"</strong>.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">The researchers learned that, in addition to the pancreas, your brain also produces insulin.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">They discovered that without the insulin your brain cells will die.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">A drop in insulin production in your brain may contribute to the degeneration of your brain cells, and studies have found that people with lower levels of insulin and insulin receptors in their brain often have Alzheimer's disease.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Studies since 2005 have continually documented that insulin has a much greater role in the brain than previously expected.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Insulin is directly responsible for neuron glucose-uptake, and the regulation of neurotransmitters like acetylcholine, which are crucial for memory and learning.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Scientists have come to understand that cognition is impaired when insulin levels are reduced.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">The clinical reseach has made it quite clear that the same pathological process that leads to insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes may also hold true for your brain.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">The take away from these studies make a strong point that the over-consumption of sugars and "grains" which are also detrimental to the the development of diabetes may also result in Type 3 Diabetes (brain diabetes).</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">When the brain becomes overwhelmed by the consistently high levels of glucose, the insulin signaling will eventually become blunted or desensitized. This will lead to impairments in your thinking and memory abilities, eventually causing permanent brain damage.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Healthcare clinicians trained in functional medicine have the training and knowledge to investigate what is at the root of the pathological process that leads to Type 2 diabetes and the new diagnosis of Type 3 diabetes.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">The one size fits all approach of prescriptive medications for diabetes, although of some value, will not shut down the physiological cascade of the consequences of poor sugar/insulin control. </span></div>

According to a recent article in <em style="box-sizing: border-box;">Psychoneuroendocrinology</em>, women who experience stress during pregnancy are more likely to have babies with dysbiosis and with a higher incidence of gastrointestinal issues and allergic reactions.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box;">
Stress during pregnancy has been linked to both physical and psychological problems in the child. This study suggests the infant's gut microbiota may be an underlying factor.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box;">
In this study, the stress and anxiety levels of pregnant women were measured through questionnaires and by testing salivary cortisol levels. Fecal samples from 5</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box;">
6 babies were also tested from one week until four months after birth. The researchers discovered a correlation between the mothers who reported high stress levels and presented high cortisol levels and the diversity of intestinal microbiota in the babies' guts.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box;">
<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><div style="box-sizing: border-box;">
The moms with high stress levels and elevated cortisol levels had babies with more Proteobacteria and fewer lactic acid bacteria and Actinobacteria in their GI tract, which means they had a low diversity of beneficial bacteria. The presence of these bacteria also correlated with a higher incidence of GI and allergy-related issues among the babies in this group.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box;">
The results of this study indicate a possible mechanism for health problems in children of mothers who experience stress while they are pregnant. According to the researchers, giving <a href="http://catalog.designsforhealth.com/Probiotic-Supreme-60-caplets?sc=2&category=3793" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #003b78; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">probiotics</a> would likely benefit these children's development. </div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box;">
Pregnant women or women preparing for pregnancy know the importance of a good prenatal vitamin and dietary folate, but many may not think of a <a href="http://catalog.designsforhealth.com/Probiotic-Supreme-60-caplets?sc=2&category=3793" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #003b78; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">probiotic</a> as an essential supplement in their nutritional regimen. In addition, pregnant women experiencing stress have a limited number of options for what nutritional supplements they can take. There are great adaptogenic botanical herbs to support stress and adrenal health; however, many botanicals are contraindicated during pregnancy, or there is simply not enough research done on them for this stage of life, so botanicals are typically avoided. <a href="http://catalog.designsforhealth.com/Probiotic-Supreme-60-caplets?sc=2&category=3793" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #003b78; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Probiotics</a><span style="box-sizing: border-box;">,</span> on the other hand, may be beneficial in helping to counteract the dysbiosis caused by stress and are safe to use during pregnancy.</div>

<div style="border: 0px; color: #444444; font-family: proxima-nova, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1.714285714rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder) is a diagnosis that has now been “given” to more than 6.5 million American children. And if that statistic is not compelling enough, please understand that about two thirds of these children are actually receiving mind altering medications to “treat” the disorder. But there are certainly other considerations that parents should make prior to engaging these potentially health threatening medications.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; color: #444444; font-family: proxima-nova, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1.714285714rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
In the well-respected, peer reviewed medical Journal Pediatrics, doctors J. Gordon Millichap and Michelle M. Yee, <a href="http://www.drperlmutter.com/study/diet-factor-attention-deficithyperactivity-disorder/" style="border: 0px; color: #f86e3e; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank">published a report entitled “The Diet Factor in Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder.”</a> In this comprehensive review, the authors reviewed a variety of dietary issues including omega-3 fatty acids, dietary sugar, allergic considerations, iron, and zinc, and produced a very provocative report indicating, at the end of the day, that we are probably significantly missing the boat in terms of what is being done to American children with the mistaken notion that treating them with aggressive pharmaceuticals is going to help them perform and reach academic goals.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; color: #444444; font-family: proxima-nova, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1.714285714rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span id="more-3268" style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"></span>Simple ideas like iron deficiency, and zinc deficiency, and how they relate to ADHD are reviewed in the publication with an emphasis on the idea that these are simple treatable issues that can have a profound effect on the diagnosis in question. Similarly, the important role of omega-3 fatty acids is reviewed.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; color: #444444; font-family: proxima-nova, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1.714285714rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The authors conclude, “Supplemental diet therapy is simple, relatively inexpensive, and more acceptable to patient and parent. Public education regarding a healthy diet pattern and lifestyle to prevent or control ADHD may have greater long-term success.”</div>
<div style="border: 0px; color: #444444; font-family: proxima-nova, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1.714285714rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
And to be sure, I am in complete agreement with their conclusion. Basically, what they have told us is that nutrition plays a role in how the brain works, and in this case specifically, nutrition plays a fundamental role in allowing children to maintain composure and vigilance and that should help them in terms of acquiring academic information.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; color: #444444; font-family: proxima-nova, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1.714285714rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
As I have stated many times, it is, at least in my opinion, critically important to practice medicine under the dictum of primum non nocere – above all do no harm. And in this case, please recognize that this information is written in a journal that is possibly one of the most well-respected pediatric journals in the country, and likely read by most pediatricians.</div>

<br />You know that you are doing something right when just your physical presence causes people to make different food choices. Let me explain. For many years, I have gone to Houston to attend the International Quilt Festival. Typically, it is held over the Halloween weekend. During this time I stay with my best friend and her family. This is something that I have attended since my days of living in Houston way back in the early 1990’s. Since moving away, whenever I go to Houston, I always stay with my best friend, so several times a year, I move into their spare bedroom and set up camp. This has happened for so many years, that I consider it my 2<sup>nd</sup> home. On my most recent trip to finalize the dancing in ANNIE, we were eating dinner when 8 year old Noah asked me the following question. “Mikell, are you going to be here for Halloween?” I found this question very odd. I am not a big fan of Halloween for a laundry list of reasons, so it is not like I get caught up in decorations and dressing up in a costume. So for a child, I would not consider myself to be a lot of “fun” for that particular event. With my curiosity peaked, I asked him why? His response was “If you are here, we have to eat healthier and you won’t let me eat my Halloween candy!” Now for the record, I have physically NEVER stopped anyone from eating what they want, however, if my physical presence causes someone to rethink a food choice, then I am all for it. I know I must be leading by example for this little one to associate me with a healthier lifestyle! It was a proud moment for me!</div>

On that note, whether you partake in the Halloween festivities or not, one thing is for sure. You will be surrounded by candy. It is everywhere. In any store, at school, in the work place (not mine of course! Toy and Joetta, this means you!) Many of you will be participating in Harvest Festivals and parties. Each time you pick up a “mini” candy morsel, you need to know what you are ingesting. This is where you need to break out the magnifying glass so you can read the label. Aside from the high fructose corn syrup, check out all of the different dyes in just one seemingly innocent tidbit. Red, yellow, blue...all the colors that we know, which live up in the rainbow! Hummmm. </div>

Where do these dyes come from? Have you ever wondered that? Well, for the most part, these pretty dyes come from coal or tar. Yes, I mean the stuff you would never consider to eat in its raw form. Now doesn’t that sound yummy?<span style="font-family: Wingdings;"></span> (This could bring a whole new meaning to coal in your stocking at Christmas!) Blue #1 and #2 (Patent Blue and Indigo Carmine) are commonly added to candy. Brilliant black has been known to make the symptoms of asthma worse. Yellow #5 (Tartazine) is known to cause the most allergic types of symptoms. These could include anxiety, migraines, depression, blurred vision, itching, runny nose, general weakness, heart palpitations and trouble with sleep. Well, what is a parent to do? For some families “trick or treating”, or “trunk or treating” is a fun holiday kick off. I am not trying to suggest that you stay at home and not participate. My concern is what happens to all of the “coal and tar” that your little darlings have collected. How about this for an idea? Tell your little ones that after the fun, they will get to pick out 5 pieces of candy to keep. The rest will go into a bag by the front door. After they go to bed, the “candy fairy” will come to pick up the candy and will leave a special toy in its place! How cool is that! It provides a win, win for all! I have found the bigger problem for families is to actually have the courage to throw the candy away. It could be seen as wasteful. I am actually ok with that! Better it go to the garbage (isn’t that where coal and tar belong?) than inside your little darlings tummies!</div>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Many people addicted to regular cigarettes are under the false assumption that these electronic smoking devices are safe.</span></div>

</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Wrong!</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Unfortunately, the FDA has failed to do their due diligence to do adequate research on its safety.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">From a functional medicine perspective, electronic cigarettes may in fact produce a silent but deadly symptom.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I am referring to <strong>INFLAMMATION.</strong></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">With the fact that E-cigs contain <strong>diethylene glycol used in antifreeze and carcinogenic nitrosamines</strong>, don't believe the innocent looking commercials advertising their safety.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I would challenge the big e-cig companies to have a dozen or more of their electronic consumers get a <strong>Cardio-ION test</strong>.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Here is what I suspect will be seen:</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Their lipid peroxides (serious cell damage), 8-OhdG (cancer gene damage), hsCRP, and other indicators of inflammation and accelerated aging will go up while various nutrient levels go down.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Not good news.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Think twice about the safety of electronic cigarettes.</span></div>

The jury was clear – sleep loss affects the body’s ability to match up the glucose-insulin response.<br />
Sleep isn’t always made a priority, especially in the young population. Loss of slow wave sleep (SWS), the deepest and most restorative sleep, and loss of sleep hours in general, is <a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24732925" style="color: #003b78; outline: none; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank" title="connected with insulin resistance without insulin secretion">connected with insulin resistance without insulin secretion</a>. Both types of sleep loss have been shown to increase brain activity in areas associated with food stimulus. This makes sense since evidence shows hunger, appetite and ghrelin levels increase while leptin levels decrease.<br />
The relative risk (RR) of developing diabetes from less than or equal to 5 or 6 hours of sleep ranges from 1.57 to 1.84, as reported by meta-analyses of several population-based studies. Meanwhile, <a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24732925" style="color: #003b78; outline: none; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank" title="RR of developing type 2 diabetes with a family history ranges from 1.7 to 2.3">RR of developing type 2 diabetes with a family history ranges from 1.7 to 2.3</a>. Five hours a night for just one week causes <a href="http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/nyas.12355/full" style="color: #003b78; outline: none; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank" title="significant reduction in insulin sensitivity">significant reduction in insulin sensitivity</a>. A <a href="http://www.journalsleep.org/viewabstract.aspx?pid=27894" style="color: #003b78; outline: none; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank" title="Penn State Cohort">Penn State Cohort</a> followed 1,000 men for 14 years and 741 women for 10 years, and found the risk of mortality was 21 percent for men and 5 percent for women. Insomniacs’ risk of type 2 diabetes, with polysomnogram verified sleep of less than 5 hours, was “<a href="http://www.journalsleep.org/viewabstract.aspx?pid=27894" style="color: #003b78; outline: none; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank" title="nearly threefold highe">nearly threefold highe</a>.”<br />
The connection between partial sleep restriction and alterations in glucose metabolism has been established for quite some time. The definition of partial sleep restriction, however, may need to be redefined. Sleep with less than 5 hours, not less than 6 hours like some studies use, is <a href="http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1389945713011520" style="color: #003b78; outline: none; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank" title="the parameter that is most strongly associated with negative outcomes">the parameter that is most strongly associated with negative outcomes</a>, yet this represents only a small fraction of the population<sub>.</sub><br />
If you think this means that missing one night or one hour of sleep is okay, then think again. A 2010 study published in <em>Diabetes Care </em>shows how 7 type 1 diabetics <a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2890361/" style="color: #003b78; outline: none; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank" title="suffered peripheral insulin resistance">suffered peripheral insulin resistance</a> after just one night of four hours sleep. Also, 19 healthy, normal-weight young men lost an hour and half sleep daily for 3 weeks and <a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22985906" style="color: #003b78; outline: none; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank" title="saw changes in insulin sensitivity, leptin level variation and body weight">saw changes in insulin sensitivity, leptin level variation and body weight</a>.A cross-section of 771 Danish participants showed just one-hour increase in sleep <a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22587629" style="color: #003b78; outline: none; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank" title="correlated with 25 percent risk reduction of impaired glucose regulation">correlated with 25 percent risk reduction of impaired glucose regulation</a>. It also showed 0.3 mmol/mol reduction in HbA(1c).<br />
There are misconceptions regarding burning more calories for time awake. The difference per hour compared to sleep averaged about 17 kcal. Risk of increased hunger and food intake, as well as reduction in overall physical activity from fatigue, needs to be considered.<br />
The question is how much of this propensity for insomnia, or desire to stay up late, perhaps even work night shifts, is genetic?<br />
In 2013, a study in Finland involving over 4,000 participants found that those who considered themselves “evening types” <a href="http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/nyas.12355/full" style="color: #003b78; outline: none; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank" title="had a 2.5-fold odds ratio for type 2 diabetes">had a 2.5-fold odds ratio for type 2 diabetes</a>, as compared to those who are morning people. Neither sleep duration or sleep sufficiency are apparently of any influence. Specific circadian gene variants with evening preference have also shown <a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2890361/" style="color: #003b78; outline: none; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank" title="weight loss resistance and susceptibility to metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes">weight loss resistance and susceptibility to metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes</a>. Not only that, but it has been found that “<a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24732925" style="color: #003b78; outline: none; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank" title="the heritability of body mass index is increased in short sleepers">the heritability of body mass index is increased in short sleepers</a>.”<br />
This doesn’t mean you should sleep more. Apparently “long sleep,” or more than 9 hours of sleep, can bring along “<a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24813456" style="color: #003b78; outline: none; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank" title="higher fasting and 120-min. insulin, 120-min. glucose, and HOMA and lower Insulin Sensitivity Index">higher fasting and 120-min. insulin, 120-min. glucose, and HOMA and lower Insulin Sensitivity Index</a>.” Of course sleep in most of these studies is self-reported, but the idea here seems to be that long sleepers are actually poor sleepers who stay in bed longer in an attempt to compensate for poor sleep quality. Fatigue from another undiagnosed condition has also been surmised, but it is also noted that long sleepers are usually less physically active. In addition, there is evidence that <a href="http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/nyas.12355/full" style="color: #003b78; outline: none; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank" title="long sleep predicts the incidence of diabetes">long sleep predicts the incidence of diabetes</a>. This should be of consideration. After all, just “<a href="http://reference.medscape.com/medline/abstract/22587629" style="color: #003b78; outline: none; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank" title="a 1-point increment in sleep quality was associated with a 2% increase in both the insulin sensitivity index (0,120) and homeostasis model assessment of insulin sensitivity, as well as a 1% decrease in homeostasis model assessment of B-cell function">a 1-point increment in sleep quality was associated with a 2% increase in both the insulin sensitivity index (0,120) and homeostasis model assessment of insulin sensitivity, as well as a 1% decrease in homeostasis model assessment of B-cell function</a>.<sub>9</sub><br />
So, when changing sleep habits, consider quality. Refreshingly, some of the damage done with sleep deprivation (such as decreased insulin sensitivity and other metabolic issues) can be reversed with recovery sleep. If sleep habits need to be improved, start by going to bed a half-hour earlier every day, or just jump in, and tuck in by a reasonable hour every night.<br />

<div class="p1" style="border: 0px; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1.714285714rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span class="s1" style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">One of the most important concepts described in <a href="http://www.drperlmutter.com/about/grain-brain-by-david-perlmutter/" style="border: 0px; color: #f86e3e; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><span class="s2" style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Grain Brain</span></a> focuses on the fundamental role of elevated blood sugar as it relates to brain degeneration. We explored in-depth, scientific literature that demonstrates a significant increased risk for developing Alzheimer’s disease or dementia if a person carries a diagnosis of type II diabetes. This relationship was amplified recently by a <a href="http://www.drperlmutter.com/study/glucose-levels-risk-dementia/" style="border: 0px; color: #f86e3e; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><span class="s2" style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">study in the New England Journal of Medicine</span></a> that demonstrated significantly increased risk for cognitive decline with mild elevations of blood sugar, well below levels that would indicate diabetes.</span></div>
<div class="p1" style="border: 0px; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1.714285714rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span class="s2" style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">In a recent report, published in Clinical Interventions in Aging</span><span class="s1" style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">, Japanese researchers again solidified our knowledge base about the relationship between diabetes and cognitive decline. The report, “<a href="http://www.drperlmutter.com/study/type-2-diabetes-risk-factor-cognitive-impairment-current-insights/" style="border: 0px; color: #f86e3e; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank">Type II Diabetes as a Risk Factor for Cognitive Impairment: Current Insights</a>“, focuses on not only statistics relating diabetes to cognitive decline, but also the mechanisms by which that happens.</span></div>
<div class="p2" style="border: 0px; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1.714285714rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The researchers describe a variety of factors relating type II diabetes to brain dysfunction including impaired neurogenesis which is the process by which we are able to grow new brain cells, specifically in the brains memory center, hippocampus. This is compromised in diabetes.</div>
<div class="p1" style="border: 0px; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1.714285714rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span class="s1" style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span id="more-2909" style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"></span>Blood brain barrier dysfunction is also noted to occur in diabetes. This sets the stage for entry of otherwise excluded proteins and even bacteria into the brain leading to nerve cell damage.</span></div>
<div class="p1" style="border: 0px; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1.714285714rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span class="s1" style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Diabetes is known to enhance inflammation, and inflammation is indeed a cornerstone of Alzheimer’s type dementia.</span></div>
<div class="p1" style="border: 0px; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1.714285714rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span class="s1" style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Hyperglycemia, describes an elevation of blood sugar, which has direct and toxic effects of brain cells, but also indirectly leads to damage by increasing both inflammation as well as free radical activity through the process of protein glycation, meaning proteins binding to sugar.</span></div>
<div class="p1" style="border: 0px; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1.714285714rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span class="s1" style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Insulin resistance also is associated obviously with type II diabetes. Insulin plays an important role as a trophic hormone in the brain meaning important for health and vitality of brain cells. And when the brain becomes insulin resistant with type II diabetes the function of insulin is compromised.</span></div>
<div class="p1" style="border: 0px; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1.714285714rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span class="s1" style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Finally, it is well known that diabetes is associated with compromise of vascular function, throughout the body, and particularly in the brain. Vascular issues are associated with cognitive decline.</span></div>
<div class="p1" style="border: 0px; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1.714285714rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span class="s1" style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">So again, a central theme of Grain Brain is to prevent becoming a diabetic at all cost. That means the diet should be one that is exquisitely low in sugar as well as carbohydrates. We emphasize physical activity, and eating a diet high in fiber based upon above ground vegetables.</span></div>
<div class="p1" style="border: 0px; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1.714285714rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span class="s1" style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">These lifestyle recommendations fundamentally focus on regulation of blood sugar which this report clearly supports as playing a critical role in brain preservation.</span></div>
<div class="p1" style="border: 0px; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1.714285714rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small; font-weight: bold;">The verdict is out. We are simply not getting enough Vitamin D.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small; font-weight: bold;"><br /></span>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Vitamin D is crucial in every disease from inhibiting cancer and heart diseases to mental disease, recurrent infections, tooth loss, osteoporosis, narcolepsy and auto-immune disease.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Unfortunately the reference range of Quest and Lab Corp is commonly<strong> 30 to 75 nanomols per liter (nmol/l).</strong></span></div>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Scientists who are experts in vitamin D chemistry are now finding that the actual need for vitamin D is greater than <strong>75 nanomols per liter (nmol/l).</strong></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">
<strong><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">What is the problem?</span></strong></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">The problem is millions of people who are around 30-75 are told by their physicians that they have a normal level of D, when in fact it is too low.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Now here is another more serious problem.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">When you do have a good therapeutic level, doctors using the "normals" (30 to 75) on conventional labs will erroneously tell you that you're too high and you should cut back.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Researchers have shown we could cut the cancer and heart attack rates in half in this country if people just had enough vitamin D.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Sadly, it will take many years before medicine catches up.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">As a consequence, we will see even more of an explosion of our current epidemics of diabetes and depression, cancer and heart disease. In addition, more people will develop auto-immune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, psoriasis, and lupus, not to mention Alzheimer's.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Basically the take away message from today's article is people who have too little vitamin D are told they have just enough. And people who think they are taking enough will be told they have too much and should cut back.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Functional medicine practitioners also understand that cheap and synthetic forms in foods and nutrients <b>lower the good level of D3.</b></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">So make sure you use a quality Vitamin D3 supplement and don't forget the value of 30 minutes of natural sunshine</span></div>

<a href="http://www.drperlmutter.com/stay-away-soy/" target="_blank">Here is a short post from Dr. Perlmutter:</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1.714285714rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="line-height: 1.5;">I generally advise against eating soy, and here’s why.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1.714285714rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
First, almost all the soy available these days is genetically modified. I feel quite strongly that GMO produced foods represent a significant health risk for humans (and animals for that matter.). This is food that could have been treated with dangerous pesticides such as Roundup, <a href="http://www.naturalnews.com/040482_glyphosate_monsanto_detoxification.html" style="border: 0px; color: #f86e3e; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">the harsh effects of which were recently documented in the media</a>. Eating GMO food, or potentially GMO food, it’s an unnecessary way to introduce toxins into our bodies.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<div style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" title="Page 1">
<div style="border: 0px; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1.714285714rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Second, soy is a legume. Soy is thus high in Phytic Acid. Phytic acid tends to bind minerals and remove them from the body, which may lead to mineral deficiencies. In the process of adding what you think is actually a health-beneficial item to your diet, you are, in fact, removing essential nutrients and minerals from it instead.</div>

What if everything you ever learned about weight loss was wrong? What if losing weight has nothing to do with calories—counting them or cutting them out by sheer willpower? What if, in fact, most health professionals (including doctors and dietitians), our own government and especially the food industry are giving us weight loss advice guaranteed to make us fat?</div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1.2em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Here’s their mantra: “Eat less and exercise more. The secret to weight loss is energy balance. There are no good or bad calories. It’s all about moderation.”</div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1.2em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
If you doubt that this advice could be wrong, just look around. We have tripled our obesity rates since 1960, and in the last decade, cases of <a href="http://jama.jamanetwork.com/article.aspx?articleid=1866098" style="background: transparent; border: 0px; color: #2097a4; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank">type 2 diabetes in children have increased by over 30 percent</a>. In 1980, there were no children with type 2 diabetes (formerly known as adult onset diabetes), and now, there are over 50,000. Seven out of ten Americans are overweight. The advice is not working. Could it be the wrong advice?</div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1.2em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Nobody wakes up in the morning saying, “Hey, I want to gain weight today. I am going to overeat. I want to be fat.”</div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1.2em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Rather, we have a $60 billion weight loss industry. It specializes in helping people count calories, eat less and exercise more. When are we going to realize that that our approach—as a scientific community and as policy makers—is failing miserably at stemming the tsunami of obesity and related health, social and economic costs?</div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1.2em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Could it be we have it all wrong? Could it be the world is round, not flat, even though it looks flat, just as it seems that if you eat fewer calories than you burn, you will lose weight?</div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1.2em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The answer is yes. Our focus on calories has missed the mark entirely. Even if you held the Guinness world record for calorie counting, you could easily be off by 100 calories a day. Do that for 30 years, and you will be 20 to 30 pounds overweight.</div>

David Ludwig and Mark Epstein published the <a href="http://jama.jamanetwork.com/article.aspx?articleid=1871695" style="background: transparent; border: 0px; color: #2097a4; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank">most important scientific paper</a> in the <em style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Journal of the American Medical Association</em> since the Watson and Cricks paper on DNA in 1953, which changed our whole way of thinking about genes. They also explained their findings in the <em style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">New York Times</em>piece, <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2014/05/18/opinion/sunday/always-hungry-heres-why.html?_r=0" style="background: transparent; border: 0px; color: #2097a4; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank">“Always Hungry? Here’s Why.</a>”</div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1.2em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
It’s not that Isaac Newton and his first law of thermodynamics was wrong. It’s right—energy is conserved in a system. This is the whole foundation of our calories in/calories out, energy balance concept of weight loss. Just eat less and exercise more, and all the pounds will melt off.</div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1.2em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
But there is one fatal flaw in that thinking. The law states that energy is conserved in a “system.” It is true that, in a vacuum, all calories are the same. A thousand calories of Coke and a thousand calories of broccoli burned in a laboratory will release the same amount of energy.</div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1.2em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
But all bets are off when you eat the Coke or the broccoli. These foods have to be processed by your metabolism (not a closed system). Coke and broccoli trigger very different biochemical responses in the body—different hormones, neurotransmitters and immune messengers.</div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1.2em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The Coke will spike blood sugar and insulin and disrupt neurotransmitters, leading to increased hunger and fat storage, while the thousand calories of broccoli will balance blood sugar and make you feel full, cut your appetite and increase fat burning.</div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1.2em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

<strong style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Is Your Fat Hungry?</strong></div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1.2em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Dr. Ludwig, for the first time, explains why. It’s not overeating that makes you fat. It’s being fat that makes you overeat. Once you start to consume refined carbs, such as bread, rice, potatoes, pasta and any form of sugar, you start making a certain kind of fat cells called VAT or <em style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">visceral adipose tissue</em>.</div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1.2em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
This is no ordinary fat. It is super fat. Hungry fat. Dangerous fat. This fat starts an inexorable cascade that leads to obesity. It’s like falling down an icy slope where it’s almost impossible to stop yourself. You need a big ice axe and crampons. We ordinary mortals are no match for this hungry fat.</div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1.2em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Here’s what happens.</div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1.2em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Those hungry fat cells suck up all the available fuel in your blood stream (glucose, fats, ketones). Your body then thinks, “Oh, my god, I am starving. I better eat more and slow my metabolism, so I don’t die.” The problem is, anything you eat gets sucked up into those fat cells around your belly, leading to a vicious cycle of hunger, overeating, fat storage and a slowing down of your metabolism. No wonder we gain weight and can’t lose it.</div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1.2em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The key trigger for all this is a simple common hormone that we all need (but not too much of).</div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1.2em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<em style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Insulin.</em></div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1.2em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
If we make too much insulin, it drives the fuel in our blood into our fat cells. Too much insulin also does a lot of other bad things like cause heart attacks, high cholesterol, type 2 diabetes, cancer and dementia.</div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1.2em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
When it comes to causing spikes of insulin that start this miserable chain reaction, not all calories are created equally. <em style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Sugar and refined carb calories</em> are the culprits. Americans eat, on average, about 152 pounds of sugar and 146 pounds of flour a year (almost a pound of sugar and flour per person per day!). These are actually pharmacologic doses of sugar and flour!</div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1.2em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

There are many studies showing just how different sugar and fat calories are. Most scientists still hold on to the dogma that fat makes you fat, that fat causes high cholesterol and that low fat is the way to go to live a long healthy life. Plenty of <a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12566139" style="background: transparent; border: 0px; color: #2097a4; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank">evidence proves otherwise</a>. What if the fact that this conventional wisdom is completely wrong is what has actually caused our obesity epidemic?</div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1.2em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Dr. Ludwig points to studies in which all calories are held to be equal, but those participants kept on a low sugar and refined carb diet <a href="http://jama.jamanetwork.com/article.aspx?articleid=1199154" style="background: transparent; border: 0px; color: #2097a4; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank">burned 325 more calories a day</a> than those eating a low fat diet. Bottom line: Eating a high carb, low fat diet slows down your metabolism.</div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1.2em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Most striking was an <a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15337404" style="background: transparent; border: 0px; color: #2097a4; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank">animal study</a> (and yes, we are not animals but the results are still very impressive). The study found that animals eating a low fat diet put on 70 percent more body fat even while <em style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">eating fewer calories</em> than animals eating a low carb diet.</div>

Let me say this again. Animals eating a low fat diet and fewer calories got fatter than those eating more calories and a low sugar and carb diet—70 percent fatter.</div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1.2em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
If you restrict your calories, you will end up triggering very ancient biological adaptions that protect us from starvation. You will slow your metabolism and get a lot hungrier.</div>

Don’t worry about <em style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">how much</em> you eat, because you will never be able to control that. Rather, focus on<em style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">what you eat</em>, the quality of the food you eat, the composition of the food you eat (high in fiber, good quality protein and fat, low in starch and sugar). Then, you won’t be hungry and will shift from fat storage to fat burning. And you will prevent most chronic disease including heart disease, type 2 diabetes, cancer and dementia.</div>
