I heard yesterday (Sun. 9/29) was National Coffee Day, and while I haven’t yet checked on the validity of that, I think it was a pretty good day to be drinking coffee. Not that I didn’t have a good reason (since I did), but I’ve been on quite the coffee kick lately and I am […]
When people follow their dreams and do things that are just beyond comprehension, I am always so amazed. I have great admiration for these amazing athletes who can challenge their bodies and their mind, and can achieve something remarkable. Last fall I watched with amazement as Felix Baumgartner jumped from outer space, 23 miles in […]
I always hear that the women didn’t really change much, yet the men did. I heard that you wouldn’t recognize people, and at the same time, would pick up where you left off with others. Well that was certainly true for me last weekend as I flew up to Boston to attend my high school […]

This is an expansion of a post I put on Facebook recently: Isn’t it interesting how some things can seem so logical to one person, yet to another person it is illogical? Have you ever had someone disagree with you on something you fully understood and believed in? Well in this profession, this seems to […]
“In the United States, at least 9% of school-aged children have been diagnosed with ADHD, and are taking pharmaceutical medications. In France, the percentage of kids diagnosed and medicated for ADHD is less than .5%.

Do you know a child with ear infections? Are the parents frustrated with the repeated use of antibiotics? Do you want to see the research on it? While it’s hard to do placebo controlled studies in chiropractic, there are published papers on the success between the decrease in symptomatology associated with ear infections and the […]
