One of my favorite brands is Standard Process. They grow their own products on their farm in Wisconsin and are the oldest supplement company in the US. They’ve been around since 1929.

When shopping for vitamins, avoid getting them from Amazon because there’s a huge counterfeit market and I routinely get emails from companies alerting us, so we can let patients know.

Nutrition Alone Isn’t Enough

With all that said about nutrition, our bodies can live months without food and nutrition, days without water, but only seconds without a functioning nervous system!

Page 4 of Gray’s Anatomy tells us the nervous system controls every function of the body. The vertebrae and skull protect the nervous system and ensure its functioning properly and freely, without interference.

When there is interference, which we call subluxation, disease builds. Research tells us a feather’s weight of pressure on the nerve, from a bone misaligning, the disc degenerating or arthritic spurs developing can cause maladaption and allow disease to develop.

This can happen from routine aspects of your life or daily activities: working on the computer and talking on the phone, physical activities like sports, cheerleading and gymnastics, or traumas like car accidents or random falls. The physical demands of service in the military can cause subluxations or even repetitive stress at your job. If you receive an injury, which in some cases may be so minor as to not offer pain to alert you, your body can no longer adapt to the stresses and disease builds, starting a downward spiral of pain, further injuries, and further blockages.

To identify subluxations and understand your current condition when you start a treatment program, in my practice, we start with your health history, exam, and x-rays to check for misalignments, arthritic spurs and investigate your spine’s current phase of disc degeneration. Where there is misalignment, there is nerve system dysfunction and disease building in the organ.

I encourage you to make healthy choices when it comes to good nutrition and even more important to take care of your spinal health.
