Hello!

I’ve been talking to a lot of people who have mentioned they seem to be losing their memory!  While some memory loss can be associated to toxicity, lack of vitamins, a simple Chiropractic adjustment can restore the blood supply to the brain!!  Ask Dr. Smedstad for more information!  In addition, we are carrying a new product for Memory!  It is incredible!  I will be having it available on the Website very soon!!  : )

The feedback we’re getting from our detox “test group” has been great.  Next week, Sharron M. has agreed to let us post her before and after pictures.  Our group has liked the products and say it’s one of the easiest protocols to stay on!

We are all very excited.  If you want to know more, give Adrianne a call today!

Guess What??  The Dr. & I have lost a total of about 10 lbs of body fat in just a couple of months!!  And we haven’t even been trying!! We have some great natural products we are now carrying at the office that speed up your metabolism and clean your liver and bowels!  Did you know that some back pain can be caused by intestinal inflammation and toxicity?  We drink a shake every morning and have noticed our midsection shrink!!  And guess what, that takes stress off the back!!  I will be putting the items on our website soon for you to purchase!  I will also share some testimonials of others who have been drinking this yummy shake!  My 3 1/2 even loves it!  He calls it a “milkshake” and helps make it every morning!!  WOW!!

Hey Health followers,

Did you know that Canola Oil is not natural Oil?  It is Chemically made, and has been linked to Mad Cow Disease in Cows that have ingested it!  Read the labels on the back of your Salad Dressings and you will be shocked!!  They are full of not only Canola Oil, but other ingredients you may not be able to pronounce!  Why not try making your own?  You get the benefits of live enzymes & clean, fresh and easy dressing!  Go invest in a Cuisinart Mini Prep and try this recipe:

1 Garlic clove

1 quarter of fresh squeezed lemon juice

1/4 lg Tomato (use rest in your salad)

1/4 Onion

3 oz. Olive Oil

1 handful of fresh Basil

Sea Salt

1 tsp of Tamari

*  if you like it sweeter, add 1-2 tsp of Maple Syrup!

Throw it all in there and CHOP CHOP!  There you Go!!

I would love to know your feedback!  I’ve been experimenting with many more and look forward to sharing!

Rabbits, deer and other sweet animals are not as sweet when they eat your Strawberries or Tomatoes.  Try putting some Cayenne Pepper with water into a spray bottle and spray around your garden.   This even works for your flowers, especially if you see the flowers suddenly missing from the stems.  It is most likely the sweet-but not so sweet- animals.  Try it…they “won’t” like it!

If you’ve been reading Mimi’s Organic Gardening Blog and are ready to start planting your own backyard garden, here’s a few tips to help ensure a healthy and pain free gardening and keep a healthy back

• Take it slow. Don’t try to dig up your backyard in one afternoon, especially in this humid Houston heat.  Even if you think you are in good shape, slightly different muscle activity can still make you sore. This can be especially true when doing a lot of planting and clean up both at the beginning of the season and in the fall. Remember, general muscle soreness from activity usually gets much better within 2 days. Pain lasting longer with the same intensity or feels worse should be looked at by a health professional to rule out injury.
• Eat well and stay hydrated. A well balanced diet can go a long way to providing the needed energy for activity and allow for healthy weight loss as a bonus. Be sure to take in plenty of fluids after any activity, especially when outdoors.

Nine out of 10 Americans suffer headaches from mild to severe.  According to an article from the American Chiropractic Association:

 “Research shows that spinal manipulation – the primary form of care provided by doctors of chiropractic – may be an effective treatment option for tension headaches and headaches that originate in the neck.”

Migraines, tension/stress and cluster headaches are the most common types of headaches. Studies have shown that these types of headaches respond particularly well to chiropractic care.  Chiropractic care is about treating the cause, not the symptom.  More and more people who suffer from headaches are seeking chiropractic care rather than reaching for pain killers..

If you suffer from headaches, discuss your symptoms with Dr. Smedstad about a chiropractic care regamine to  to relieve the stress on your neck and nervous systems. 

Having your spine properly aligned before starting an exercise routine is one of the healthiest safeguards to reducing sprains, strains and wear and tear on your body’s joints. When your spine is out of alignment, your body moves in an unnatural way and can quickly cause pain in the joints, nerves, tendons and bones. Also, your chiropractic can quickly assess your body’s flexibility and suggest exercises and/or theraphies to get your body in shape quickly.

You’ve heard the expression:  “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.”  This is never more true than with arthritis. 

Also, ask Dr. Smedstad about  recommended supplements for arthritis.
