Who would think of going to a chiropractor for dyslexia? Not even me except about 2 months ago this womans daughter came in and in the course of the interview i discovered she was dyslexic. TBM has a treatment for dyslexia based on a MDs opinion that a eustachian tube infection causes a low grade constant infection that produces toxins that cause dyslexia and 90% of learning disabilities. I did the test on her and then the adjustment to straighten out the eustachian tube and within a weeek she was reading better. Now, 7 weeks later the mom is ecstatic over how well she is reading.
Can i do it again? Dont know.

Solutions To Help Maintain Healthy Blood Pressure Levels
August 19, 2010 by Dr. Michael Cutler
To understand what causes high blood pressure you must first understand how your body works to keep blood flowing throughout your body. The blood is carried from your heart by a system of arteries, vessels, veins and capillaries. As your heart beats, blood is pumped out and into the arteries to be carried to your entire body.
The pressure to which the blood is pumped is your blood pressure. There are many factors that can increase or decrease your pressure and have a major impact on your health.
High blood pressure, or hypertension, currently affects more than 74 million people and causes at least 56,000 fatalities each year, according to the American Heart Association (AHA). This condition can cause vascular weakness, vascular scarring, stroke, increased risk for blood clots, increased plaque build-up, vision loss, erectile dysfunction, tissue and organ damage and increased strain on your circulatory system. Although it’s not uncommon to have no symptoms, you may have high blood pressure if you experience headache, dizziness, blurred vision, nausea, chest pain and shortness of breath.
There are many causes of unhealthy blood pressure levels. Some of the risk factors you cannot control include heredity, race and age, according to the AHA. Other risk factors include high sodium consumption, obesity, stress, high alcohol consumption, sleep deprivation, tobacco smoking, caffeine, prescription drugs and a sedentary lifestyle.
Many medications can have an adverse affect on your blood pressure levels. The Mayo Clinic indicates several over-the-counter medications can cause a rise in pressure. These include non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), decongestants, acetaminophen, appetite suppressants and pseudoephedrine. To avoid any complications you should have a list of all medications—prescription and over-the-counter—with you when you consult with a physician.
Prescription medication such as cholesterol-lowering statin drugs can also cause high blood pressure. Drugs such as Lipitor®, Crestor®, Pravachol® and Mevacor® all have been scientifically shown to reduce your body’s natural coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) levels. Research published in the Journal of the American Medical Association reports that statins reduce CoQ10 by 22 percent. CoQ10 is essential when it comes to helping you maintain and improve your blood pressure levels. CoQ10 can help prevent the oxidative damage of “bad” low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol… reduce oxidative stress within your artery walls… and normalize your body’s sodium-to-potassium ratio.
By educating yourself about the risks and consequences of your lifestyle you can learn to maintain healthy blood pressure levels. According to the AHA, when you keep your levels within a healthy range you reduce the risk of your vascular walls becoming overstretched and injured… reduce the risk of your heart having to pump harder to compensate for blockages… and protect your entire body so that your tissue receives a regular supply of oxygen-rich blood.
Exercise can boost circulation by releasing nitric oxide in your bloodstream. This natural substance produced in your body helps keep plaque from building up in your arteries that can lead to high blood pressure, heart disease or stroke. By setting aside time each day to participate in an activity you can do your heart and blood pressure a world of good. I encourage you to find activities that you enjoy such as golf, tennis, swimming, biking or yoga so that you will be more likely to stick to your routine.
Stress and anxiety also play a key role in your blood pressure levels. When you are stressed, your heartbeat often races and this places a great amount of strain on your heart. This can also cause damage to your artery and blood vessel walls. One quick “de-stressor” I recommend is deep breathing. By closing your eyes and spending time concentrating on your breathing you can help regulate your heart beat and improve your blood pressure levels. Take at least five seconds to slowly draw in your breath and then take at least 10 seconds to slowly breathe out. Repeat this exercise for two to five minutes until you are relaxed and calm.
Practitioners of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) believe there are various natural solutions to help lower your blood pressure levels. In the book Chinese System of Food Cures, foods such as seaweed, mung beans, hawthorn fruit, water chestnut, turnip, Chinese celery and persimmon are recommended for hypertension. A diet with less animal protein and more vegetable oils has been shown to help lower blood pressure levels.
Other TCM methods for reducing high blood pressure include acupuncture, massage, meditation and yoga. These relaxation techniques can help relieve stress and anxiety and therefore regulate your heart beat and circulation.

Red Wine Compound Proven To Reduce Inflammation In Humans
August 10, 2010 by Personal Liberty News Desk
Results of a recent University of Buffalo study provide further evidence that resveratrol—a plant extract commonly associated with red wine, grapes and blueberries—can reduce inflammation and help lower the risk of diabetes and heart disease in humans.
While several studies have shown that the antioxidant properties in the compound can reduce the rate of aging in animals, very few randomized, controlled trials have confirmed that increased resveratrol intake benefits human beings.
For the research, senior author Paresh Dandona and his colleagues randomly assigned 20 participants to receive either a nutritional supplement containing 40 milligrams of resveratrol or a placebo every day for six weeks. Blood samples were taken before the trial commenced and every week thereafter.
The investigators found that individuals who took the nutritional supplements had reduced serum levels of free radicals, which cause oxidative stress, inflammation and blood vessel damage.
Furthermore, resveratrol helped suppress other compounds that have been proven to negatively alter insulin resistance. None of the participants in the control group experienced similar benefits.
Dandona and his colleagues believe the findings suggest that a high resveratrol intake can help prevent the development of diabetes and heart disease.
The highest levels of resveratrol are found in red wine and grape skin. Dr John Foltz designed Provex CV with resveratrol and certain red grapes that help prevent blood platelets from clumping. For more info contac:t drstevenklayman@gmail.com

: Frankincense has anti-tumor compounds and one group are called Boswellic acids, but other anti-tumor substances appear to be present among the 200 natural plant compounds such as the monoterpene limonene in the arsenal of the frankincense tree. Limonene is the most extensively researched monoterpene for anti-tumor activity. neil

Abstract
Background
Originating from Africa, India, and the Middle East, frankincense oil has been important both socially and economically as an ingredient in incense and perfumes for thousands of years. Frankincense oil is prepared from aromatic hardened gum resins obtained by tapping Boswellia trees. One of the main components of frankincense oil is boswellic acid, a component known to have anti-neoplastic properties. The goal of this study was to evaluate frankincense oil for its anti-tumor activity and signaling pathways in bladder cancer cells.
Methods
Frankincense oil-induced cell viability was investigated in human bladder cancer J82 cells and immortalized normal bladder urothelial UROtsa cells. Temporal regulation of frankincense oil-activated gene expression in bladder cancer cells was identified by microarray and bioinformatics analysis.
Results
Within a range of concentration, frankincense oil suppressed cell viability in bladder transitional carcinoma J82 cells but not in UROtsa cells. Comprehensive gene expression analysis confirmed that frankincense oil activates genes that are responsible for cell cycle arrest, cell growth suppression, and apoptosis in J82 cells. However, frankincense oil-induced cell death in J82 cells did not result in DNA fragmentation, a hallmark of apoptosis.
Conclusion
Frankincense oil appears to distinguish cancerous from normal bladder cells and suppress cancer cell viability. Microarray and bioinformatics analysis proposed multiple pathways that can be activated by frankincense oil to induce bladder cancer cell death. Frankincense oil might represent an alternative intravesical agent for bladder cancer treatment.

The number one killer in America is heart disease. If you are over 40 years of age and not doing something, and I dont mean monitoring your cholesterol (what a joke that is), to prevent heart disease you are playing with fire. Dr John Foltz, a preminent cardiac researcher, after realizing his recommendation to take an aspirin a day to prevent platelet clumping in the arteries did not work in 40% of the population, studied the French. He found that wine from certain red grapes prevented heart disease. He then went on to utilize those red grapes in his patented formula Provex CV. In addition to good healthy nutrition, proper rest, moderate exercise and stress reduction technology such as meditation or yoga Provex CV is probably the most important thing you can do to prevent heart disease. Always consult your physician if you suspect heart disease or have a family history of it.
