Drugged Out Nation
What happened to "Say No to Drugs"?
http://www.statehealthfacts.org/comparetable.jsp?ind=268&cat=5&sort=a&gsa=2
These numbers are appalling. The average 65+ American gobbles over 31 prescriptions per year. I see two options: let's get healthier, because if you were not sick to start out, 31 prescriptions will make you sick. Or let's just forget about everyone and buy stocks of pharmacy chains.
Obviously option 2 means you and your loved ones will die sooner and suffer. But really, that's the choice we have made implicitly already. Buy drugs, make Big Pharma rich, suffer.
I choose to be healthy instead. And that starts right here with a chiropractic adjustment.

Chiropractic for migraine
"Migraine occurs in 15% of the general population". So starts this article. The authors investigated how different manual therapies worked for migraine headaches when pitched against typical migraine drugs such as Topamax and Inderal. Well, with no side effects, they all worked at least as well. But chiropractic adjustments worked even better.

Here is the link to source:

So here is the choice: less effective dangerous drugs or more effective safe chiropractic adjustments.
Who do you know who is suffering with migraines? Isn't it time to explore the gentle, safe and better option?

Travel Tips
Happy Fourth!
http://www.youtube.com/user/jmslak?feature=mhee#p/a/u/0/9o2QVLOgRlw
Here are a few travel tips to help make your Holiday even better!
Dr. Jean-Marc
http://www.youtube.com/user/jmslak?feature=mhee#p/a/u/0/9o2QVLOgRlw
Here are a few travel tips to help make your Holiday even better!
- Drink more water. That will make your body run more smoothly and create pit stop opportunities.
- When driving long distances; stop at least every 2 hours (see above). Not only will your bladder thank you, but your spine too. Take time to unfold yourself and walk around for a couple of minutes. Plus, you'll wake up and become more alert for safer driving.
- When flying, the above recommendations apply. Drink lots of water and take frequent walk breaks.
- Avoid the security scanners, opt for pat downs.
- Some additional supplements are beneficial when flying. I take NAC and astaxanthin for a few days before, during and a few days following a flight. The goal here is to process all the extra free radicals that I am exposed to when flying, breathing recycled air, enduring travel stress...
Safe travels!!!

Head Rest
Cars and chiropractic, two of my favorite things, intersect at car safety and car accident injuries. So I read about it a lot and I am always curious to find ways to get the most out of the build-in safety devices our cars come (or should come) loaded with.
One of them is your headrest. When positioned properly, they can reduce the severity of whiplash injuries. The National Highway Safety Institute says that your head must be closer than two inches for them to work. Where is yours?
This brand new study says that most people drive with their head too far forward therefore greatly worsening the severity of whiplash injuries.
http://www.informaworld.com/smpp/content~db=all~content=a935983015~frm=titlelink
Another study done on an older population sample a few years ago found even worse positions. That's a problem.
Bottom line: You can hugely reduce injuries from rear-end collisions if you sit with your head within 2 inches of the headrest and even more if you have a car equipped with "active head restraints". That's an option worth buying.

Maintenance care is essential
Near Perfect Minute #44
Study says: If you have had low back pain, the ONLY thing that will help in the medium term (few months) is chiro care. (Many, many studies say that actually).
Study also says: If you like that "I feel better and I can do the stuff I want to do without paying the price in pain and disability" feeling; you can, by getting checked by your chiropractor at a frequency of every other week.
Dr. Jean-Marc says: Get adjusted, follow your recommendations, have a great life!
Here is a fun link to the blog of a St Louis colleague. Enjoy:

Study says: Antibiotics for babies lead to asthma.
My advice: save the drugs for truly life-threatening situations, see you chiropractor for everything else. I promise you that if I can't help you, you'll be the first to know. But experience shows, we can keep your child healthy, vibrant and drug-free!
