Statins ultimately prevent the production of coenzyme Q 10. Statins work by inhibiting the enzyme methylglutaryl coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase.
Insulin InsensitivityInsulin insensitivity is a great starting point for the practitioner who does not already use nutrition in the office. Many of your patients health problems are due to excess insulin and to insulin insensitivity. Insulin insensitivity is responsible for obesity—and all of its associated health problems.
Is it Alzheimer’s or is it CRS?CRS is, of course, an acronym for cant remember stuff. Memory is the second thing to go when we age; I used to know what the first one was, but I cant think of it right now. As a practitioner you have no doubt run across older patients who have problems with memory and concentration; and some who have actual dementia.
Medication vs. Natural Health Care for PainHere is some of the research about pain and the use of natural health care. A common misconception that many patients have about treating pain is that the drugs they are taking are actually doing some good. Pain medication does not heal or repair a problem—it only offers temporary relief. That relief comes at a price. Pain medication causes problems.
Freedom from PainPatients who use traditional medicine are often given drugs, but no answers. Its like the story about the old man who went to the doctor complaining of pain in his right knee. The doctor prescribed pain medication, but the old man wanted to know why his knee hurt. The doctor said, “Well Mr. Smith, you are 78 years old—you have to expect some aches and pains.” The old man replied, “But the other knee is also 78 years old, and it doesnt hurt.” He wanted to know the cause and to have the cause treated and not merely mask his symptoms with drugs. As a chiropractor, you know there are many safe, effective and natural ways to relieve pain. When you treat pain naturally, there are no side effects and you address the problem at its source.
