'Doctor Ox' - Dr. Ashly Ochsner

Access To Early Death Anyone?

2012-02-12T20:28:00.000-08:00

Whitney Houston, dead at 48. As I write this the autopsy has been completed, however, the results not released. But the lesson already exists in my humble opinion. NO MATTER WHAT THE AUTOPSY SHOWS. Allow me to share.

The argument of the proponents of healthcare reform greatly revolves around easier ‘access’ to healthcare. Of course it’s important to define what ‘healthcare’ means when people refer to it in this context, and that’s plain and simply doctors, testing, drugs, and surgeries – or medical care. Those proponents repeat the mantra that if our people had easier access to medical care, we would not be in the health crisis we are and we could transform our level of health in America.

As you process that, it probably sounds like a novel and noble idea. People are sick, right? Yes, sicker than ever. So if we give them MORE medical care (tests, drugs and surgeries) this would improve our health as a whole one would be led to believe. The assumption here, however, is that the medical care system in America works and is effective. We know it’s the most expensive in the world, but does it work – REALLY work? Statistics show it’s dangerous, ineffective and it gets minimal results. (Feel free to research that on your own if you don’t believe me.) In fact, it’s one of the worst in the world. Statistics aside, let’s take some real world examples of people who have not only the easiest access to medical care, but access to the BEST medical care and any doctor of their choice, with no limitations of managed care and HMO’s – celebrities.

Whitney Houston. Police discovered a half dozen bottles of medication in Houston's room, TMZ reported, adding that family members said Houston had been taking the prescription drug Xanax, which is often used to treat anxiety.

Michael Jackson. Had his own medical doctor in his home. Had the EASIEST access to medical care. The pop-icon died and was on a COCKTAIL of Rx drugs.

John Ritter. The Hollywood actor from ‘Three’s Company’ had an aortic aneurism. He died the same day. Two years earlier, he had a TOTAL BODY SCAN, which detected no abnormalities in his heart or aorta. So much for early detection.

Heath Ledger. Australian film actor died at age 28 while taking properly prescribed psychotropic medications for his depression.

Brittany Murphy. Drug list: Topamax (anti-seizure meds also to prevent migraines), Methylprednisolone (anti-inflammatory), Fluoxetine (depression med), Klonopin (anxiety med), Carbamazepine (treats Diabetic symptoms and is also a bipolar med), Ativan (anxiety med), Vicoprofen (pain reliever), Propranolol (hypertension, used to prevent heart attacks), Biaxin (antibiotic), Hydrocodone (pain med) and miscellaneous vitamins. It was probably the vitamins.

Tim Russert. The famous news host of ‘Meet The Press’ died at age 58, only 8 wks after passing a cardiac stress test. He was exercising & taking cholesterol meds, aspirin, and blood pressure drugs. This classic approach obviously didn’t work for him, so why do you think it will work for you or anyone you love?

AND THESE ARE JUST THE CELEBRITIES, THE ONE’S WE HEAR ABOUT ON THE NEWS! There are hundreds of thousands of others out there!!! People just like you and your family. It’s clearly evident that the PROBLEM is the medical care SYSTEM. What people need more access to is a different system - the Maximized Living Healthcare Delivery System – it’s time to EXTEND lives, not SHORTEN them. I’ll be reviewing that system and it’s amazing results over FREE dinner on Monday, February 27^th at Café’ Gaston in Orland Park. Seating is limited, who will YOU be bringing to dinner?

What's Your Score? The REAL Magic of the number '7'

2012-02-06T07:45:00.000-08:00

Heart Disease is an extremely hot topic, especially during ‘Heart Health’ Month. The American Heart Association is beating the trail attempting to get folks to pay attention to their heart health. At Maximized Living, we aren’t just trying to get people’s attention, we are getting them real tools and action steps to lead them to a healthy cardiovascular system. Today, I want to focus on a many times overlooked component of heart disease, and all disease for that matter, and that’s pH. In chemistry, pH is basically a measurement of how acidic or alkaline (basic) a solution is. Perfectly balanced pH is a 7, on a scale of 0 - 14. The lower the pH the more acidic your body is. The higher the more alkaline your body is. Foods and beverages carry a pH reading as well. And you guessed it, the more acidic foods and beverages you consume, the more acidic the body, leading to an optimal environment for disease to thrive. The more alkaline a food or beverage is, the more alkaline the body will be.

The hype and the ‘buzz’ around pH is to constantly ‘alkalize’ your body to keep it from being in an acidic state. Being in an acidic state is definitely more dangerous than an alkaline state, however, where one wants to be is in a BALANCED state. Proper pH for the body should land right in the 6-7 range. Maybe this is one more reason why the number ‘7’ is referred to as ‘The Magical Number 7.’

So how does one know where they are at? It’s a super simple paper ‘litmus’ test. pH is an easy way to have one additional health indicator, without requiring a trip to the Doctor. You simply purchase some pH paper test strips at your local health food store or online and place it in your mouth to test your saliva. If you are at any number but ‘7’, then something needs to be done.

This week, we are doing FREE pH saliva tests in the office though. Existing patients at your next visit, be sure to stop at the front desk for your pH test and someone from our team will walk you through it. More importantly, at our Heart Healthy Nutrition workshop this Thursday, we will be testing any other people you bring that you love and care about. Then, EVERYONE will receive the tools necessary to make appropriate changes in their nutrition to correct any imbalances.

See the chart below showing some examples of pH levels of foods, beverages, and many other solutions.

Find out what your pH score is today, it could save your life and others lives.

The Peloton, The Lone Wolf, and The Road.

2012-02-03T20:32:00.000-08:00

The Peloton. An interesting phenomenon some say. I disagree. A phenomenon can't be proven. But the principle of the peloton, is a physical Law. In Cycling, the Peloton is legendary. The principle of the peloton is incredible - a group can accomplish more than an individual AND expend less energy in the process.

From Wikipedia: The peloton (from French, literally meaning little ball or platoon and also related to the English word pellet), field, bunch or pack is the large main group of riders in a road bicycle race. Riders in a group save energy by riding close (drafting or slipstreaming) near (particularly behind) other riders. The reduction in drag is dramatic; in the middle of a well-developed group it can be as much as 40%.^[1]

Many of us in life, health, and business will try to do it on our own. Much like the 'Lone Wolf.'

From Wikipedia: A lone wolf is a wolf that lives independently rather than with others as a member of a pack. The term is also used in reference to people who exhibit characteristics of introversion or a strong preference for independence.

In the animal kingdom, lone wolves are typically older wolves driven from the pack, perhaps by an alpha male, or young adults in search of new territory. Rather than openly challenge the dominance of the pack leaders, many young wolves between the ages of 1 and 4 years leave their family to search for a pack of their own. Some wolves will simply remain lone wolves; as such, these lone wolves may be stronger, more aggressive and far more dangerous than the average wolf that is a member of a pack. However, lone wolves have difficulty hunting, as wolves' favorite prey, large ungulates, are nearly impossible for a single wolf to bring down alone. Instead, lone wolves will generally hunt smaller animals and scavenge carrion. Occasionally, a lone wolf will encounter another lone wolf of the opposite sex, and the two may start a new pack ^[1].

As a mission minded, vision driven, forward thinker, the power of a group is invaluable. So I ask my readers, with what pack are you running? Or are you even part of a pack? Are you in the peloton, accomplishing much through expending less energy? Or are you the Lone Wolf? Running alone. You see, inevitably a Lone Wolf will tire, become weary, and weak. Vulnerable over time.

What does this have to do with health Doctor Ox? Everything. Enter healthcare in America. The medical model applies the Peloton principle - to a degree. An organized delivery system. Interdependent with other specialties. Driven by research and 'facts' to create recurrent income streams via consistent consumption of pharmaceuticals. Supported by policy and government whose leaders are paid dividends based on how many pharmaceuticals are consumed. Incredibly powerful. Many assume unstoppable!

However, the road on which the Peloton travels must be clean. Must be pure. Must be foundationally sound and strong. Imagine a road filled with potholes, bumps, and cracks. Not good for the peloton. This would equal pain, suffering, and distress for many in the peloton, maybe all. But the Lone Wolf can see every pothole, every bump, and every crack. He can navigate cleanly, avoid danger, and protect himself. He survives and the peloton dies in this example. So many gravitate to be the lone wolf, as it's the safest, with the least resistance. In their life, in their health, and in their business. There is little risk. And there is little reward.

Now imagine a road built for the peloton. Paved smooth. Not one crack. Perfect temperature. Amazing grip. Now who is stronger, more effective, more influential? The peloton or the lone wolf? The peloton of course. But with out the road built for the peloton, the peloton crumbles.

In Maximized Living, we have constructed a road built for the peloton. Our road is built on foundations, on laws, on principles - ESSENTIALS. Not good ideas, not drugs and chemicals - just truth. The road is the delivery system, and the peloton is our elite team of committed Doctors, students, staff, patients, and readers. And the peloton is growing and replicating at light speed. Why? The need. You see the medical model health care system has a road built on lies and misinformation. A road full of potholes and speed bumps. So fractured and weak of a road that not only the peloton is dismantling (the doctors and nurses) but collateral damage is occurring as the peloton crashes into the crowd. Innocent people are suffering and dying as this road deteriorates before our eyes. Cancer, heart disease, diabetes, childhood illness, Autism, depression, Alzheimer's, and chronic degenerative disease. Yet instead of fixing the road, the model continues to tread on. It just builds bigger, badder, tougher, cycles. Cycles that can 'seemingly' handle the deteriorating road. However, it's an illusion to believe this can sustain itself. It cannot.

So I ask you who you are? Are you the Lone Wolf? Are you in the Peloton on the disintegrating road? Or are you part of the movement changing health policy though building an indestructible road, top of the line cycles, and the biggest baddest peloton in history? Maximized Living has paved the road. Our cycles are fast. And our peloton is growing. It can't be stopped. It won't be stopped until real health care reform has occurred. Join us. But only if you are prepared for a battle, actually a war. A war over the current crimes against humanity behind the veil called "healthcare" in North America. Let's roll.

What Would You Do For A Million Dollars? (Or More...)

2012-01-22T20:55:00.000-08:00

'The Ladies Brunch Burger'

While the answer to that question will vary for everyone, let me tell you what Paula Deen did for some extra MILLIONS. For those of you who don’t watch ‘The Food Network’, she’s arguably their most popular personality. In fact, she is the one who invented the ‘Ladies Brunch Burger’, a bacon burger with a fried egg in between two donuts! Pretty sure that would affect not only insulin and glucose levels, but literally shorten your life before your eyes.

Well, I’m not sure what the motivating factor here was and there is much speculation about it, but Paula just came out and announced that she has Type II diabetes. Not a big surprise when the person chooses to drink sweet tea and eat the ‘comfort food’ above. (But I’m sure diet had nothing to do with it, probably a coincidence, right?) So where does the million $ come in? Here is the Associated Press release statement about Dean:

Paula Deen

Celebrity chef and Food Network star Paula Deen is teaming with drug maker Novo Nordisk to launch a program that aims to help people live with Type 2 diabetes and promote a Novo diabetes drug. Deen has Type 2 diabetes and takes Victoza, a once-daily noninsulin injection. The website links to promotional materials for the drug. Type 2 is the most common form of diabetes. In Type 2 diabetes, the body either does not produce enough insulin or does not use it efficiently, allowing excess sugar, or glucose, to accumulate in the blood.

I hope you read that closely, let me paraphrase: ‘…help people live with Type 2 diabetes…’ The insinuation there is YOU HAVE NO HOPE IF YOU HAVE DIABETES. Who out there would want to live with a disease and be a slave to an injectable medication their entire living existence – especially when you can actually REVERSE that same disease – without drugs?

It’s one more successful attempt of a drug company manipulating our people and getting rich off of them. Our world is STUCK in a medical model mindset of ‘I am a slave, there is no hope without drugs, I need the all-knowing doctor to survive and make it.’ This is the best we have to offer people for hope? Lifetime injections to ‘manage’ and ‘live with’ something that we know the cause of and know how to reverse? Pathetic. If she truly cared about people and her own health, she would have casted for ‘The Biggest Loser’ and inspired a nation into healthier cooking and lifestyle habits REVERSING HER CONDITION. But no way, let’s keep doing what we are doing and pop a pill or inject a med. Welcome to the 21^st Century. (And I just threw up…) So the message Paula will be bringing (no matter what they print or shoot in a commercial) is this:

IT’S OKAY TO EAT BACON & EGG DONUT BURGERS

BECAUSE THERE’S A DRUG THAT WILL FIX YOU.

I have a different idea. It’s called the Maximized Living Nutrition Plans (go get it at the 'store'). And it’s not just for preventing and potentially reversing Diabetes, it’s for EVERYONE to stay amazingly healthy FOR LIFE. It’s for everyone looking to eat great, healthy, and TASTY foods and beverages, with ZERO guilt, and ZERO new disease or ‘extra-chins’. Want to learn more? Of course you do…

Homemade Breast Milk?

2012-01-21T05:50:00.000-08:00

Home made breast milk? Not possible right? Of course not! The only true breast milk isn't made at 'home' it's made by Mom and the power God put in her body to create nature's most perfect food. However, it's a world these days of toxic overload, stress, hormone problems and nutritional deficiencies. More than ever it seems women are having more challenges in producing milk effectively. Not too mention episodes of mastitis, plugged ducts, wicked pain, flat or inverted nipples, and other challenges to successful breastfeeding. As well, if you adopt a child your options are very limited in acquiring breast milk. Donors with sufficient supplies and health histories you are comfortable with are not impossible to find, but aren't that easy either. Sometimes when all other avenues have been explored and exhausted, parents must supplement their baby. This can be an extremely difficult issue for a mother to deal with who wanted so desperately to breast feed. Many times a mom will somehow feel like a 'failure' in their own mind and some women when facing this feeling will unfortunately 'malnourish' their baby because they refuse to supplement. An additional challenge when a parent is faced with supplementing their baby, is that the options at the grocery store, or even the nutrition store, regarding formulas are not the most comforting either. While I have no idea how it feels as a woman to be in that situation, I have been right there by my own wife who has felt that 'failure' emotion, and it's hard, very hard. But I would like to share what we have found that not only gives our baby nutrition, but in turn supports the confidence and belief of the mother that she is absolutely not a failure. She did her absolute best - and will continue to do her absolute best in just a slightly different approach to feeding her baby.

Commercial formulas today are readily available in many varieties. While it's pretty widely accepted that 'breast is best', there are many people still out there in the Medical field and in Science that think commercial infant formula is just about as good. A recent study published by the CDC's National Centers for Immunization and Respiratory Disease (NCIRD), published some very interesting findings. The paper is titled, Inhibitory effect of breast milk on infectivity of live oral rotavirus vaccines. In fact, the researchers found that in breast fed babies, the response of the immune system to a vaccine is DECREASED. The researchers actually then recommended that breast feeding mothers STOP breastfeeding and feed Commercial Formula to their baby so that the vaccine will 'work.' Besides the fact that the CDC recommendation is ludicrous, I would say this points to breast milk as some pretty powerful stuff, head and shoulders above the powder in a can! (Read more on the breaking story at NaturalNews.

As far as types of Commercial formulas, there are cow-milk-lactose based formulas, lactose-free cow-milk formulas, soy formulas, and even some pre-digested cow milk formulas for babies who have digestive sensitivities. However, once a person studies commercial dairy and soy like I have, they would rather jump off of a building than feed those to their infant! Commercial dairy is derived from cattle that are fed chemically sprayed grains and grasses and given hormones, antibiotics, and multiple vaccinations. The goal of the commercial dairy farm is to create a herd that can create the highest VOLUME of milk in the SHORTEST amount of time. To do that, they use chemicals. Even though it is possible without chemicals at the Beyond Organic ranch! Additionally, cow milk is flash pasteurized, homogenized, and contains what's been referred to as, 'The Devil in the Milk', A-1 Beta Casein. Soy is certainly no better. Soy is highly processed and damaging. In fact, in one study it was shown that in female babies who consumed soy formulas, had a 25% increase risk of developing uterine fibroids later in life! Even the new 'organic' formulas don't solve hardly any of these problems. Oh and did I mention Corn syrup? Or as they now like to call it, 'corn sugar'. This is the major component of calories in formula. Contrary to the Corn Refiners Association, I don't subscribe to the notion that corn syrup is good for us, I don't care what professor they hire and pay to say so. So knowing all of this, a parent can seem trapped with no where to turn. Believe me, it's exactly how a parent feels, because my wife and I felt this exactly with our newest baby.

However, I am not a person who accepts the 'norm'. I don't 'follow' dogma or 'the majority.' Funny though, I'm not naturally a rebel either. I just look around and if see the 'norm' not doing well, I begin searching. As it has been written, 'When you find yourself on the side of the majority, it's time to pause and reflect.' And our country is NOT DOING WELL with children's health. I am a fan of finding the 'narrow gate' that talked about in Mathew 7: ¹³ “Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. ¹⁴ But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it." I believe I have found the 'narrow gate' to life with an amazing formula recipe I stumbled upon.

Recently we have had the blessing to have been influenced by a man who also is a fan of finding the narrow gate - especially in the world of nutrition. His name is Jordan Rubin. After learning of the excellence in all that he does from his previous supplement company Garden of Life, to his newest venture Beyond Organic, I felt compelled to read his work. And I stumbled upon a homemade infant formula recipe which he created and used with his children. What a God-send. I then proceeded to research more and more about homemade formulas and how to successfully make them for your baby. While I realize there are many recipes out there and multiple 'ways' to do this, the recipe below was our saving grace when we were forced to supplement. Our little boy is thriving with this nutritional supplement. It isn't of course convenient or necesarily 'easy' to do. It takes study, time, and dedication. However, in my mind, it's our child and he deserves better than corn syrup and A-1 Pasteurized Homogenized Fat Skimmed 'Chemicalized Cow Milk' & or 'Fibroid Causing Soy' Protein. Once you get the hang of it though, it's a breeze. In fact, I chose to make a video to show how I prepare this formula so that other parents out there could gain the confidence necessary to do the same if they choose to. The video is embedded below, I hope you find it helpful. This video is NOT intended as medical advice or recommendations, it is simply me documenting my experience with making this infant nutritional formula.

And of course here's the necessary disclaimer: Before using any infant or toddler formula with your child, please consult with your pediatrician or family practitioner. No parents should use this information without first seeking advice from their pediatrician or primary care physician before starting a nutritional program with their children.

Fortunately for us, I am our family physician, so we consulted with myself, and I believe 100% this is the right nutrition for our baby.

Ingredients for Infant Formula (makes 38 ounces)

• 24 oz. spring water (Beyond Organic Reign Water is my recommendation)

• 12 oz. goat’s milk (Pasteurized is available in most stores as well as in powdered form. If you are a farmer or part of a farm coop, of course you could use Raw goat milk.)

• ½ teaspoon children’s probiotic powder (Get a refridgerated brand because if it has to stay refrigerated, it's most 'alive'. I use FloraBaby by Renew or Garden of Life kids probiotics)

• ½ teaspoon acerola cherry powder (17 percent vitamin C) (I use NOW Acerola powder)

• 2 teaspoons whey protein concentrate (I recommend either Tera's Whey or Jarrow Organic Whey)

• 2 teaspoons nutritional yeast (KAL brand is what I use)

• 3 capsules of colostrum (Symbiotics Colostrum Plus Capsules are my choice)

• 8 tablespoons mineral whey powder (There's only one available Goat Whey available and it's Mt. Capra)

• 1 teaspoon cod liver oil (There are multiple good brands out there. I use Nordic Naturals Arctic cod Liver Oil)

• 1 teaspoon of butter oil (I have only found two good sources for Grass Fed Organic Butter Oil and that's NutraPro and Green Pastures)

• 1 teaspoon sunflower oil (Be sure it's Organic - Spectrum is a great choice)

• 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil (Extra Virgin, Organic, in DARK Glass. Again Spectrum is a great choice)

• 2 teaspoons extra virgin coconut oil (Garden of Life or Spectrum, you can't go wrong)

Do You Know Where Your Food Comes From?

2012-01-20T16:49:00.000-08:00

Great question. Most don't pay attention, and in the mouth it goes! With no concern of the ingredients, what the animal ate (or didn't eat), how the animal was treated, how many hormones and antibiotics the animal was given, or even knowing the potential positive and negative effects of the food to the body in the short and long term. In America especially, it's all about TASTE and CONVENIENCE. Any idea what this pink substance is in the picture? Watch this amazing webinar to not only find out what that picture is, but to find out 'Where Your Food Comes From.' And of course you will learn about the healthiest and best sources of nutrition in the entire world. How cool would it be if great healthy foods could also be TASTY AND CONVENIENT? Well they can!!!! Just click the link below to watch the previously recorded webinar, it's roughly 60 minutes in length. You can even listen in while you work on your computer and shrink the webinar window to a small size in a corner of your screen. Enjoy!!!

Autism Speaks Surveying for Research Ideas...

2012-01-18T07:07:00.000-08:00

Hello out there, those of you who are Autism awareness advocates who are truly interested in facilitating some progress, let's see what we can do together to help more kids with Autism. Autism Speaks has launched a survey site to submit research study ideas on Autism for their Science division apply funds toward researching. Will they actually use the ideas submitted by the public? Who knows, but it can't hurt to try. I've submitted two ideas for research that I believe are vital to know more so that more children can be helped. The links are below, go to these links and 'like' them if you feel so moved, it would be great to see these two study ideas gain some support and actually occur! I appreciate all of you, God bless.

You Don't Choose Cancer....Or Do You? The Cure Found For 66% of Cancer

2012-01-14T22:31:00.001-08:00

The billboards read:

“You Don’t Choose Cancer. But You Can Choose How To Fight It.”

What if you DO choose cancer - blindly, ignorantly, or unknowingly? Let’s really examine this. The American Cancer Society publishes The Cancer Prevention and Early Detection Facts and Figures booklet and I try to read it each and every year. Interestingly, over the years, the research is now pointing in a much different direction then simply genetics, family history, and bad luck. To summarize, in 2011 there were a little more than 500,000 cancer deaths (That’s not incidence of cancers, this is death statistics only). And according to the ACS report, 1/3 of those were due to smoking and second hand smoke exposure, while the next 1/3 of the deaths were due to poor diet and physical inactivity. (Cancer Prevention and Early Detection Facts and Figures 2011, pg. 17) What this means is over 330,000 people literally DID CHOOSE CANCER, ULTIMATELY KILLING THEMSELVES. Harsh words? Yes. True? Yes. Insensitive? Hear me out because it’s time we get serious people. You deserve better. Your children deserve better. Your country deserves better. And the WORLD deserves better. WE CAN ALL DO BETTER.

The facts based on real statistics: We already have the cure for at least 66% of cancer, and it’s called prevention through LIFESTYLE CHOICES. I personally believe that the number is higher and hovers around the 90% range as some studies have shown. There’s something called The Maximized Living 5 essentials. When instituted FROM BIRTH (OR AS SOON AS YOU LEARN ABOUT IT) until death, we close in on that number – FAST. Maximized Living is a health care delivery system that changes the way people view and manage health FROM THE INSIDE OUT. It is based on making great lifestyle choices for you and your family, the core foundation to curing cancer, at least 66% of it. The five essentials are Maximizing your mind, Maximizing your spine and nerve system, Maximizing nutrition, Maximizing oxygenation and lean muscle through exercise, and Minimizing toxins. Notice they aren’t called ‘The Five Good Ideas’ or ‘5 Things You Already Know’ – they are called ESSENTIALS for a reason. Without them YOU GET CANCER AND MANY OF YOU WILL DIE FROM THAT CHOICE.

Speaking of choices, that is what this boils down to. Let me start by saying, I'm not perfect at this, and perfect isn’t the goal. The goal is consistently doing our best and working toward perfect, knowing that perfect is nearly impossible, but never stopping. I was at breakfast the other day at a local restaurant, and I always make note of what people are eating. Not to judge them, but to remind me that our country is full of people who are unknowingly, ignorantly, or carelessly killing themselves with what’s on their fork and I have a lot of work to do to inspire them to act differently. I had the sad opportunity to watch a lady, who I estimate weighed around 330-350 pounds, order a stack of pancakes. And this was no small/short stack or whole grain/flax pancakes with fresh berries on top. These were at least TEN inches in diameter, roughly 1 inch thick EACH and the stack was about 6” tall with 6 pancakes on it. She proceeded to slather on the fake butter substance full of disease causing trans fats onto each and every pancake. And then finished with an estimated ¾ cup to 1 cup of syrup, no doubt loaded with High Fructose Corn Syrup and God knows what other additives and preservatives. And she then ate EVERY pancake. My heart broke. It was all I could do not to walk over and give her a ticket to the makeover this Thursday. Touchy subject though. Very touchy. But my mind is beginning to shift further and further away from worrying about people’s feelings and into what’s best for them and to be their inspirational health care leader. While I passed this time on calling out this stranger and inviting her, I am not passing on calling out YOU and inviting you. Obese people create cancer through choices. Skinny people create cancer through choices. Kids create cancer through THEIR PARENTS choices and lack of discipline over them. Not too mention heart disease, diabetes, ADD/ADHD, Autism, depression, and about every other chronic disease in this world. IT’S TIME FOR A CHANGE. It’s time to move health to the TOP of your priority chain, AND LEAVE IT THERE – FOREVER. And then it’s time to inspire OTHERS to do the same. Will that cost money? Yes. Do you know the cost of cancer? Heart Disease? Diabetes? Besides your life we are talking 6 figures most of the time.

It’s very simple, you are either CHOOSING LIFE or DEATH. It’s up to you. Although I’ve watched people who leave this up to themselves and they continue to kill themselves because of lack of purpose, discipline, and leadership. The Maximized Living Makeover IS your tool and resource, to BECOME DIFFERENT. To stand up and end this. AVON is currently doing their walk in which they are ‘In It To End It.’ Noble and worthy. The funny thing is however, we don’t have to walk – we have to SIMPLY CHOOSE DIFFERENTLY – AND DON’T CHOOSE CANCER.

THE INTERNATIONAL MAXIMIZED LIVING MAKEOVER IS THUR, JAN. 19th. GO TO WWW.MAXIMIZEDLIVING.COM TO FIND A DOCTOR NEAR YOU AND INQUIRE TO ATTEND.

And she said, "I am just not comfortable with that..."

2012-01-09T04:09:00.000-08:00

I was talking to a patient last week and she told me a story that literally made me sick to my stomach. This patient has been under care many years along with her husband and children. She’s a health professional herself, she REALLY understands Chiropractic and especially the 5 Essentials of Maximized Living. How do I know? Well I have diagnosed the 3 main symptoms of REALLY understanding: 1) Her entire family is under care. 2) She tells others constantly about Maximized Living and it’s amazing results. 3) She and her family almost never miss appointments. It’s also important to understand that this woman hasn’t had any ‘handouts’ or ‘easy roads’ in helping her family, especially one of her children, achieve amazing levels of health and function through Maximized Living and the 5 Essentials. You see, her one boy has a form of dwarfism, Autism, and has had to ‘eat’ through a tube for nearly his entire life. It’s important to know this entire ‘back-story’, before you hear possibly the most ridiculously unprofessional events I have ever heard in nearly 15 years of practice. Buckle up.

You see, the mother (who I’ll just call ‘Linda’) Linda, has been now for sometime since learning about true health and the 5 essentials ‘feeding’ her son (who I’ll just call ‘Alan’) Alan much differently than a typical child with a feeding tube. You see the ‘standard’ for nutrition for kids/people with a tube is usually ‘Pediasure’ by Abbott. The ingredients include things that I would never imagine feeding my children such as Corn Maltodextrin topping the list for ‘energy’, or ‘calories’. Also, fructooligosaccharides are an added artificial sweetener that because of one small scientific study showing it increased calcium absorption. There are three sources of protein including Milk protein, Whey protein concentrate, and soy protein isolate. The milk and whey are obviously NOT from a Cow that only eats grass, never had antibiotics, hormones, or vaccines, and hasn’t filled it’s milk with stress hormones from living in close quarters with hundreds of other cattle. The soy protein is one of the most damaging, difficult to digest, processed proteins that exists, my children never get Soy (except for the occasional Edimame). The oils that are used are not your oils/fats that you would see similar to breast milk, which is saturated fats. They use unsaturated fats from safflower oil and soy oil (there’s soy again). There then are obviously many vitamins and minerals added, which are mostly synthetic (‘man made’ not from nature), along with multiple ‘other ingredients’ to give the product taste and texture appealing to kids, of course not forgetting today’s typical children have a taste and texture appeal to sweet, salty, and/or smooth. So they fill it up with salt, gums, and gels. The end product? The ‘Gold-standard’ for liquid nutrition of every hospital and dietician on the planet. Which is exactly where the story gets RIDICULOUS…

You see Linda hasn’t tube fed this stuff to her son ever since learning about the damaging effects of the ingredients in the bottle. She actually chose to make her own liquid nutrition, and use an alternative liquid called ‘Orgain’. The ingredients include NO Corn derivatives for ‘calories’ from sugar. The Protein blend is Organic Whey & Organic Milk – a much better alternative than commercial milk, whey, and soy. The sugars are from Organic Brown rice, Organic Cane juice. The oil used is SUNFLOWER oil, not SAFFLOWER oil. And they add SEA SALT instead of regular salt. The vitamin blend is a much shorter list of ‘synthetics’ because of the other ingredients coming up. Yes, it only gets better. You see this company then adds a VEGETABLE blend of all Organic kale, beet, spinach, carrot, and tomato and a FRUIT blend of all Organic blueberry, banana, acai, apple, and raspberry. AND an antioxidant blend of Organic pomegranate and Green Tea extract (decaffeinated). So this drink isn’t ‘perfect’ but stand it next to ‘Pediasure’ and it’s no contest. This actually has REAL food in it.

Oh yes, the hospital/dietician thing. So every year, Linda gets insurance reimbursement for the liquid nutrition she has to purchase to give her son. It requires a letter of medical necessity from her doctor. Well her Doctor ‘deferred’ to the dietician stating that as a Gastroenterologist, nutrition wasn’t his area of expertise! (REMEMBER THAT ONE!) Yes, Doctors, even digestive specialists, admit they know NOTHING about nutrition. And the dietician, the ‘PROFESSIONAL’ tells Linda, get this, “I’m sorry, I am just not comfortable with recommending this product for your son.’ Bam, wow, yes that just happened. Linda was in disbelief. Because the ‘liquid’ wasn’t the ‘norm’ the professional wasn’t ‘comfortable.’ Or is the truth that the dietician wasn’t KNOWLEGABLE enough to make a clinical judgment/correlation based on actual information…I mean read the stinkin’ label lady! And in the words of Linda, ‘What wasn’t she comfortable with, Fruits and Vegetables?’ Well what I admire the most about Linda is that of course she said that REGARDLESS of her ‘dietician’ recommending this or not for insurance reimbursement, she will spend the $150/month out of pocket GLADLY to feed her son better nutrition before feeding her son poison just to get $150 from her insurance company.

PS – They also told Linda her son Alan would never talk and to save $ for long term care – he’s a bright, amazing young man who speaks, interacts, and has a social life! I think MOTHER knows best.

Tires and Health?

2012-01-08T14:20:00.000-08:00

I’ve done it again. I had a regular everyday experience become a HUGE metaphor to share with others about health and chiropractic. I recently went shopping for new tires on my wife’s SUV. What was interesting was the vastly differing opinions of every tire 'guy' I spoke with. I had my mind set on getting only 2 new tires because two were still in great shape with a lot of tread left on them. After listening to the wide array of recommendations, I came up with TWO distinct categories of these recommendations, which I’ve expanded on below:

1) This tire ‘guy’ was extremely agreeable to whatever it was that I wanted. Like I said, I was set on only 2 tires, so speaking to this ‘guy’ was comforting to a degree because he was ‘honoring my wishes’ and ‘listening to me’. It felt good. But even though it ‘felt good’, it didn’t make sense. How could I put an unmatched set of tires with completely different tread on the car that will spin and wear differently and somehow it could be the best thing? Not too mention, the ‘guy’ in this category, was also simply trying to sell me the most inexpensive tires, not the best. Basically, this ‘guy’ will tell you what you want to hear, he just wants to make a sale. Period. So if someone is simply telling you what you want to hear, and what you want to hear isn’t true, isn’t that lying?

2) This tire ‘guy’ was extremely knowledgeable about tires and automobiles. He showed me research as to what happens when you put unmatched tires on a car. Transfer cases blowing causing major transmission damage ‘possibly’. Now he was quick to mention, it doesn’t happen to every car, but it does happen, he simply wanted me to know my risks. He also showed me the BEST tires, not the CHEAPEST tires. He was honest and told me that I did have just enough tread left on two of my tires that I could safely put on two more tires just like the ones that were currently on the car and be a okay for a little while. He then went on to show me the price of these 2 tires and showed me that I could get an almost equally comparable complete set of 4 tires for only $200 more TOTAL because they had a coupon saving me $250 on that brand. If I went this route, I would have 4 brand new tires, equal in quality and style, wouldn’t have to go back and get 2 more in a short time, and be confident and safe with my family on board. Pretty much, he was honest and told me the TRUTH.

The Category 1 tire guy above is saying, “I don’t care about your car or your family that rides in it. I only care about myself and money, so I will tell you whatever you want to hear in order to make a buck, even if it isn’t true or good for you.”

The Category 2 tire guy above is saying, “I care about your car and your family that rides in it too much NOT to tell you the truth. I won’t let you leave my tire shop without you understanding all of the risks and rewards of your decision at hand. Then if something happens, the blood is on YOUR hands, not mine.”

BUT, the Category 2 guy actually takes it a step further, if you really understand this. Remember he shared with me the risks of using unmatched tires. Some may say that was using a ‘scare’ tactic. I disagree. That was a ‘care’ tactic. Even if the chances were slim, he felt it his responsibility to let me know the risk. And in fact, he went on to say he wouldn’t even put on 2 unmatched tires because of his commitment to his belief and understanding of this risk. How could he recommend something that he didn’t believe in, that could cause harm to me, my family, others on the road, and to his reputation? In his mind he couldn’t do that, even to make a buck. So he wouldn’t. EVEN IF THE CUSTOMER WANTED HIM TO.

I’m sure you can see where this is going. Regarding your health and the health of your family and friends – I will tell you the truth. You will see and understand the risks at hand and what can be done to diminish those risks and what happens if you ignore the risks and do nothing. And when it’s an xray of your spine, it’s black and white. If it’s misaligned and damaged – you are building disease. If it’s nutrition and you are eating commercial animal meats and dairy products – you are building disease. If it’s toxicity and you are filling your child or yourself with vaccines, additives, and preservatives – you are building disease. It’s impossible not to be. Stay on track with your adjustments, your home care. Get your children's spines checked. Get your family eating the Maximized Living Nutrition Plans, buy the Beyond Organic beef and beverages, and take the right supplements. Your health has to be your #1 priority this year. If you are one of my readers, you have no other choice. J

Health Lessons from SouthWest Airlines...

2012-01-01T18:58:00.000-08:00

You wouldn’t think one would gain many health lessons while flying, but as most of my readers know, anything is possible if you look for it! My son and I just took a trip on Southwest Airlines and the following announcement came over the loudspeaker: ‘Have a Happy New Year. BUT more importantly, have a HEALTHY new year!’ Which spawned my already active mind looking for nuggets out there in today’s world representing health. This person making this announcement obviously recognizes that happiness is SECONDARY to healthiness. My guess is that in her life, she has seen this be the LAW and wants others to recognize that BEFORE it’s too late. So she spreads the word. Sounds like Maximized Living to me J.

Just when I thought my health ‘nugget’ for the day had come and gone, Southwest Airlines continued to amaze me. We were sitting near the exit row, and as most of you know, those in the exit row are expected to perform certain duties in an emergency. While the flight attendant was giving her orientation as to what those expectations were, two of the passengers were blatantly not listening. That wasn’t working for her. She stopped, stated, ‘Excuse me, these are important instructions you must pay attention to.’ The female passenger then apologized and tuned in. However, her male counterpart chose to continue reading his smartphone. Again, this didn’t go well. The flight attendant stopped again and stated, ‘Sir, other people’s lives may be in your hands in an emergency, and you must listen and verbally agree to these expectations.’ Needless to say, he continued to be non-committal, behave irresponsibly, and give an under his breath verbal ‘yes’. As the flight attendant rolled her eyes and headed back to the front of the plane disgusted, I found myself having to fight my own emotions of wanting to hurt this guy! As I thought about it further, I had an ‘ah-ha’ moment of exactly why people are sicker and more miserable than ever these days…and what needs to be done about it:

Most of us have forgotten or never learned:

1) Healthiness CREATES Happiness. It’s impossible to be truly HAPPY if you are sick, suffering, miserable, or dead. You may say, ‘No, it is possible to be happy and be very sick.’ And yes, you can force any emotion in the short term. But over time, I guarantee you if we polled a thousand people in a nursing home or with cancer, every one of them would tell you their level of HAPPINESS is directly related to their level of HEALTHINESS.

2) Our own choices and level of health affect EVERYONE ELSE. The man above who failed to recognize that the responsibility he had signed up for by choosing the seat that he did, was not only putting himself at risk, but putting others at risk too. This same type of person will WAIT until they are sick, and then expect someone else (like their spouse, sibling, child, insurance company, or the government) to fix them. And when that doesn’t work, many will blame the other party as well! I challenge all of you to take TOTAL responsibility for your life and health, and that of your family. When you get sick, it costs ALL OF US (insurance premiums, lost wages from taking off work to care for someone, emotional distress, and more). Do your part in this time of renewal to get well, stay well, and take responsibility.

3) Health is due to favor AND choices, NOT luck and chance. I saw a billboard the other day that said something to the effect, ‘You don’t choose Cancer. But you can choose how you fight it.’ And if one believes that luck and chance create your health, then they would believe this billboard. However, if one believes health comes from favor AND choices, then they would want to burn this billboard down, because it’s an ‘enabling’ message. It ‘enables’ people to play victim and not take responsibility. But if everyone took the 5 essentials of Maximized Living seriously from DAY 1 of their child’s life, I believe cancer and other diseases would be nearly eliminated. And maybe, just maybe, the reason God is not placing favor on your health, is due to your choices. When you break a law there are consequences. Health is no different. For instance, do not put unleaded gas in a diesel engine or it will destroy it. But we put the wrong fuel in our families daily; we poison them as well with toxins (knowingly, unknowingly, and ignorantly), and neglect their spine and nerve system for a lifetime. Then, we expect a medical miracle to ‘fix’ everything. Not a health plan of longevity. I encourage you to make better choices for you and your family this New Year.

And of course, if transforming the health of the world is the mission, then I beg you to take the responsibility for that on with us. Once you are enlightened, I believe it’s your moral and ethical obligation to tell others. Do your part, make a difference for someone tomorrow, TODAY. Tell them about Maximized Living.

The End of Cancer?

2011-12-28T08:42:00.000-08:00

Newsweek Magazine, December 19^th issue has an extremely troubling article titled, 'Could This Be The End of Cancer?'. In short, the article shed light on whether or not a vaccine will cure cancer. The concept revolved around the fact that they found a vaccine that would increase immune system /CD4 cell counts. “But Dr. O, how can an article showing hope for curing cancer be troubling?” Allow me to expand…

There are three fundamental reasons as to why this article troubles me deeply:

Is the cause of cancer due to a lack of a vaccine, chemical, virus, or drug in the body? Similar question would be, are the cause of headaches due to a lack of aspirin or Tylenol in the body? What I mean is that this approach to curing cancer is flawed. Fundamentally flawed. If something is fundamentally flawed, it can NEVER work.
Vaccines specifically, contain chemicals that CAUSE cancer. Things like formaldehyde, carbolic acid, foreign animal proteins, and viral DNA. Even chemotherapy drugs many times cause other cancers. For instance, some breast cancer drugs have been proven to cause Leukemia later in life. Fundamentally flawed.
This research is highly outdated. On October 25^th, 2003 research was published* regarding tests that were performed on patients by an independent medical center. In summary, the control group experienced a 7.96% decrease in CD4 cell levels and the test group experienced a 48% increase in CD4 cell levels. And what’s incredible is that the test group wasn’t receiving a vaccine. They also weren’t receiving a drug. And furthermore, they weren’t receiving ANYTHING that’s injected or swallowed. ‘So then Dr. O, how did the patients get better?’ Logical question. And the answer is with Chiropractic adjustments. Yes, by removing interference to the nerve system at the level of the brainstem (upper neck), the power in the BODY did the healing.

So I ask the question, “Is the cure for cancer in a shot, bottle, pill, potion, or food? Or is the ‘cure’ for cancer already inside of us?” And would that ‘cure’ ever need to ‘cure’ us if consistently we HONORED that power in the body, and worked with the power and NEVER interfered with the power? Then the body would NOT let cancer develop in the first place. Make sense?

So in summary, there should be ONE thought crossing your mind right now:

‘When can I get my children and family scheduled to see if they have interference in their spines, causing decreased immunity, increasing their risk of cancer.’

If this thought didn’t cross your mind, either you didn’t truly read and understand this or you don’t believe it. So I encourage you to read it again until you do understand it. And if you don’t believe it, I encourage you to notice the research study cited below supporting this.

I simply want you and your family to reach their full God-given potential, spending as many QUALITY years together as possible. To do that, you MUST have a nerve system free and clear of interference. It would be an honor and pleasure to check any of your family members this week for Subluxation. Get them scheduled with a Maximized Living Chiropractor right away. Their lives depend on it.

Beyond Organic - Jordan Rubin's New Food Company

2011-05-10T14:26:00.000-07:00

World, say hello to the next level of eating nutritious Organic food - BEYOND ORGANIC. I know many of you who read this blog, follow me on Twitter or Facebook or simply find me on searches for health and wellness, love eating high quality Organic foods.

I have had the pleasure to spend a lot of time recently, both on the phone and in person, with Jordan Rubin the creator of BEYOND ORGANIC. You may know Jordan as he is the author of 'The Makers Diet', 'Perfect Weight America', and most recently, 'Raw Truth'. Jordan as well founded one of the largest natural vitamin and supplement companies in the world, 'Garden of Life' which you no doubt have seen on shelves at almost every Organic grocer and health food or nutrition store.

What is important to understand is that the term Organic has become as 'overused' and 'abused' as the term Wellness. I mean c'mon, there are 'Wellness' clinics that do abortions!!! Similarly, now there are Organic 'Oreo' cookies, Organic jelly beans, and Organic soda pop!!! While there's no doubt the Organic version is a much better alternative then the commercial versions, there is a whole other level to healthy eating about to launch, and thats BEYOND ORGANIC.

Jordan's new company takes Organic food to the next level - BEYOND Organic. For instance, the 'Green Fed' standard for his cattle heard goes way beyond the current standard of Grass fed organic cattle. Which by the way, are still vaccinated, fed grass MOST of the time, many times finished with grain, and never fed legumes, herbs, or other forage that is natural to them. That's only the beginning. What's better yet, is most of these foods will be able to be delivered right to your doorstep, and you never have to go shopping. (I know my wife is going to love that!) It's coming on October third. Sign up as an insider today, don't miss out!!!

EVIDENCE SHOWS: VACCINES DO CAUSE AUTISM AND BRAIN DAMAGE.

2011-05-09T20:10:00.000-07:00

Tuesday, May 10th, 2011 should have been an epic day in American history. Pearl Harbor, 9-11, and yes, '5-10'. Directors of the Elizabeth Brit Center for Autism Law and Advocacy (EBCALA) released their findings of an investigation linking vaccines to Autism and Brain damage. There was a live U-Stream feed you could watch right from your own computer. If you missed this epic day in American history, I hope you can find out more about it, but don't hold your breath.

The story first broke today, May 9th, 2011 on Fox News, in which it was reported that EBCALA has significant evidence showing the dangers of vaccines and a 100% causal relationship between vaccines and Autism. Should have been an interesting day, but as you are reading this you probably recognize that you don't recall a thing about this.

Interesting isn't it? A group can hold information of this caliber, report it, break the news, hold a news conference, and we are still hearing about Justin Bieber and the Kardashiens on the major media news. I hope and pray more information will break on this exact issue. For crying out loud, lives are at stake. For the heck of it check out the website www.fourteenstudies.com and see for yourself the 14 studies that supposedly prove vaccines don't cause autism or neurological damage. These shouldn't even be able to be called studies. You can buy anything these days, including data and it's results.

Additional: Below is an email from Generation Rescue about this same epic event with some additional information and communication:

The Next Chapter in the Vaccine Autism Story Begins Tomorrow

TOMORROW: Tuesday, May 10 at 12:00pm ET, directors of the Elizabeth Brit Center for Autism Law and Advocacy, parents and vaccine-injured children will hold a press conference on the steps of the U.S. Court of Federal Claims to unveil an investigation linking vaccine injury to autism. Tune in HERE.

Hi everyone,

We just received this very interesting and important information and wanted to share it with you immediately:

In 2008 Johns Hopkins Neurologist Jon Poling went public with the news that his daughter Hannah, who regressed into autism following her 18 month vaccines, was paid by the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program.

CDC, in a public statement, claimed that the Hannah Poling case was "rare" and should not be generalized to "normal" children. Days after the Poling's announcement, the Hiatt family also went public with their VICP ruling that their autistic daughter Madison was also a vaccine injury victim. Then the Banks family went public. Finally, CBS News reported finding 7 more vaccine/autism cases that dated back to 1991, the very beginning of the autism epidemic.

So the autism community wanted to know... just how many cases of autism have been paid by the program that was established in 1986, how "rare" is this, and what did the government know about vaccine injury and autism causation that they were not telling the public and the medical community. After being questioned by a journalist, the department of HHS that oversees the VICP issued the following statement on whether this was an admission that the government was now paying children for vaccine induced autism. The "official response" from HRSA:

"From: Bowman, David (HRSA) [mailto:DBowman@hrsa.gov]
Sent: Friday, February 20, 2009 5:22 PM
To: 'dkirby@nyc.rr.com'
Subject: HRSA Statement

David,

In response to your most recent inquiry, HRSA has the following
statement:

The government has never compensated, nor has it ever been ordered to
compensate, any case based on a determination that autism was actually
caused by vaccines. We have compensated cases in which children
exhibited an encephalopathy, or general brain disease. Encephalopathy
may be accompanied by a medical progression of an array of symptoms
including autistic behavior, autism, or seizures.

Some children who have been compensated for vaccine injuries may have
shown signs of autism before the decision to compensate, or may
ultimately end up with autism or autistic symptoms, but we do not track
cases on this basis.

Regards,

David Bowman
Office of Communications
Health Resources and Services Administration
301-443-3376"

This admission of a link to autism, and the disturbing revelation that the government was not even planning on counting how many autism cases it had paid from the vaccine injury fund, made it clear that HHS's claims of concern for the rise in autism rates and concern for vaccine safety were less than sincere, and that it was time for an investigation into the VICP to find out how many of the cases of vaccine induced encephalopathy (brain damage) resulted in "autistic behavior, autistic symptoms or autism" as Bowman had referenced.

Tomorrow the results of this two year investigation will be revealed and we will get a better look into what the government knows about vaccine/autism causation and how long they have known it.

Please tune in to the press conference tomorrow (streaming live on the internet at USTREAM), Tuesday, May 10 at Noon Eastern to the announcement take place on the steps of the US Supreme Court, that ruled only two months ago that vaccine injury cases would never be heard in a court of law, but must go through the corrupt Vaccine Injury Compensation Program.

Investigators and Families of Vaccine-Injured Children to Unveil Report Detailing Clear Vaccine-Autism Link Based on Government’s Own Data

Report Demands Immediate Congressional Action

Directors of the Elizabeth Birt Center for Autism Law and Advocacy (EBCALA), parents and vaccine-injured children will hold a press conference on the steps of the U.S. Court of Federal Claims (717 Madison Place, NW in Washington, DC) on Tuesday, May 10 at 12:00 PM to unveil an investigation linking vaccine injury to autism. For over 20 years, the federal government has publicly denied a vaccine-autism link, while at the same time its Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP) has been awarding damages for vaccine injury to children with brain damage, seizures and autism. This investigation, based on public, verifiable government data, breaks new ground in the controversial vaccine-autism debate.

The investigation found that a substantial number of children compensated for vaccine injury also have autism. The government has asserted that it “does not track” autism among the vaccine-injured. Based on this preliminary investigation, the evidence suggests that autism is at least three times more prevalent among vaccine-injured children than among children in the general population.

The federal government has called autism a “national health emergency,” conservatively affecting 1 in 110 children and costing the country billions of dollars each year.

Because almost all children in the United States are required by law to receive between 30-45 vaccines in order to attend public school, it is crucial that the VICP decide cases with justice and transparency.

EBCALA and the families of the vaccine-injured call on Congress to investigate the VICP, the only forum in which parents may bring claims of vaccine injury on behalf of their children.

WHERE: United States Court of Claims
717 Madison Place, NW
Washington, DC

WHEN: Tuesday, May 10
12:00 PM noon

Thank you,

Steve Jobs Says: Be A Yardstick of Quality...

2011-05-09T05:57:00.000-07:00

"Be a yardstick of quality. Some people aren't used to an environment where excellence is expected."

- Steve Jobs

While every single technique in chiropractic definitely works, there is no doubt a couple that stand way above the rest. I am currently going through advanced certification with Dr. Tony Nalda, of Maximized Living. Dr. Nalda is the leader of the essential #2 of Maximized Living: Maximized Nerve Supply. Dr. Nalda has studied nearly every corrective technique out there, with the majority of his most recent tutelage coming from The CLEAR Institute, leaders in Scoliosis Correction through spinal adjusting. Their roots come from Dr. Dennis Woggon, who learned his foundational techniques from The Pettibon System.

Just this weekend I had the pleasure of sitting front row to watch and learn from Dr. Nalda on the latest, cutting edge corrective technique applications available today! What an amazing weekend. Check out this short video of my good friend and colleague Dr. Paul Stoetzel receiving a few different cervical adjustments with the Arthrostim instrument.

One of the most amazing things of the weekend is to watch an adjustment under 'DMX', which is Digital Motion Xray. To actually SEE an adjustment to the spine do EXACTLY what it's supposed to do right on the screen, was simply INCREDIBLE.

As a doctor who has an affinity for and specializes in caring for Children, especially children with Neurodevelopmental disorders like Autism, Aspergers, PDD-NOS, ADD/ADHD to name a few, this weekend was beyond impactful. Why? Because these children especially MUST have a spine and nerve system FREE of interference in order to function at their full-potential. Check out this short animation about kids with ADD and ADHD and the medications they swallow regularly...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EuGcpHAJq3w

Below you will see one case of a child who I have cared for in my clinic with some pretty amazing spinal correction...

Why are these xrays important? Because inside the spine lives the nervous system. And ON THE LEFT, you are looking at an extremely scoliosed spine of a little boy diagnosed with Autism. He was non-verbal, little to no focus, poor eye contact, and had the habit of running off if he wasn't restrained. After 3 months of corrective care that Dr. Nalda has taught me, ON THE RIGHT you will see a nearly totally corrected spine. Now the boy has a nervous system under little to no stress, his brain and body make much better messaging connections to and fro, and his life is transformed. He started speaking during his care, his eye contact and focus were greatly improved, and he no longer had the urge to run off. His parents could actually sit and relax with out worrying about him any more. Now let me make this next point VERY CLEAR - I DID NOT HEAL HIS AUTISM AND HE STILL CARRIES THAT DIAGNOSIS...but how is his quality of life? His family's quality of life? His internal health of his central nerve system and organs? ALL MUCH BETTER no doubt.

Don't miss the 'No Labels, No Limits.' event coming to Chicagoland on Saturday, May 14th. Learn the research behind this type of care for children. Simply amazing.

“We started to see more productive things happen once he was under chiropractic care.”

My name is Desiree Rinehart and this is my son Dylan Rinehart. Dylan is on the autism spectrum and before chiropractic we did a lot of biomedical intervention. It seemed like it got us to really good places but we started to see more things happen that were more productive once we started him under chiropractic care. Scarily enough we were told that Dylan would not be able to function in a regular classroom, that he would always need special education. We were actually told not to waste money on alternative care. That he was always gong to need care in the future. Now, he is actually main stream in four classes. He is doing remarkable well. He is communicating much more; he is seeking the attention of other people, outside the family which he wouldn’t do before. His speech has just gone through the roof! Chiropractic care is probably the most amazing things we have come in contact with. I know we would not be where we are today without it. Absolutely everyone needs chiropractic care and I just didn’t realize that until I brought my son here. Maximized Living is a way of life. It’s the way everyone should live in this toxic world.

Quiz: Could Your Child Have ADD/ADHD?

2011-05-04T14:25:00.000-07:00

Saw this on the 'Parents' Magazine website. Thought as a parent of two young boys, ages 7 & 8, I should probably explore this! I mean, if my child has a disability or disorder, as a parent, who wouldn't want to know, right? So off I went. I posted my results for each of my children below. I have listed each of the 12 questions and the answer for my 8 year old and my 7 year old.

1. Does your child have difficulty sitting still? Yes (Both kids)

2. Does your child seem to have a short attention span? Yes (Both Kids)

3. Does your child frequently "space out"? Yes (7 year old)

4. Has anyone else in your family been diagnosed with ADD/ADHD? No (but if they took this test, YES)

5. Does your child have trouble sharing or waiting his turn? Yes (Both Kids)

6. Does your child frequently and quickly move from one activity to the next? Yes (Both Kids)

7. Does your child have trouble making and keeping friends? No (Neither)

8. Have your child's teachers complained of behavioral problems? Yes (Both Kids)

9. Does your child frequently seem distracted and disorganized? Yes (Both Kids)

10. Does your child make careless mistakes at school or home? Yes (Both Kids)

11. Does your child frequently act impulsively and without thinking? Yes (Both Kids)

12. Does your child often lose and forget items? Yes (Both Kids - EVERY DAY)

So below are the results (same for each child by the way)....check it out...

Your Results
Quiz ResultsYour child seems to exhibit a fair number of the behaviors that accompany ADD/ADHD. These behaviors include high levels of activity, distractibility, and impulsiveness. Speak with your child's pediatrician about your child's symptoms and your concerns. Before diagnosing a child with ADD/ADHD, it's imperative to investigate other possible medical problems that may contribute to behavioral issues, such as lead poisoning or severe anemia. Other psychological factors, such as depression, adjustment problems, family stress, or abuse should be ruled out.Sources: American Academy of Pediatrics; American Medical Association; William Lord Coleman, MD, FAAP, associate professor of pediatrics at the Center for Development and Learning at the University of North Carolina School of Medicine at Chapel HillThis quiz is for entertainment and/or educational purposes only. It is not intended to be a substitute for informed medical advice or care. You should not use this information to diagnose or treat any health problems or illnesses without consulting your pediatrician or family doctor.

So do my children have ADD/ADHD then? I'll just go ahead and let you know that NO THEY DO NOT. But other parents out there may take this quiz and think otherwise, and head down a road of evaluation, labeling, and DRUGS.

So then, just for fun, I answered every other answer yes/no so I scored 50% 'yes' on the quiz and here was the result:

So as you can see, there are some definite 'flaws' and 'agendas' being pushed by this trusted media source for Parents. One is no matter what, you are supposed to go talk to your pediatrician. The all knowing, God-playing, Pediatrician. Now no doubt, there are Ped's out there with great intentions and giving awesome recommendations, but the overwhelming majority of the Ped's that I've met in practice and through concurrent patients, have one thing in common - PRESCRIBE, PRESCRIBE, PRESCRIBE. (OMG, as I was typing this a 'pop tarts mini crisps' advertisement popped up on the parents web site!!!!! For real???? Ingredients follow (in RED are some effects of those ingredients:ENRICHED FLOUR (WHEAT FLOUR, NIACIN, REDUCED IRON, THIAMIN MONONITRATE [VITAMIN B1], RIBOFLAVIN [VITAMIN B2], FOLIC ACID), SUGAR (CAUSES HYPERACTIVITY), SOYBEAN AND PALM OIL (WITH TBHQ (A 'FLAME RETARDANT' CHEMICAL ADDITIVE FOR FRESHNESS), CORN SYRUP (CAUSES HYPERACTIVITY, DIABETES, ETC), CONTAINS TWO PERCENT OR LESS OF MODIFIED CORN STARCH, NATURAL AND ARTIFICIAL STRAWBERRY FLAVORS, SALT, CORNSTARCH, WHEAT STARCH, DEXTROSE, BAKING SODA, GELATIN, CANOLA OIL (RANCID FAT), COLOR ADDED, CONFECTIONER'S GLAZE, GLYCERIN, CARNAUBA WAX, VITAMIN A PALMITATE, NIACINAMIDE, RED #40 (TOXIC COLORING) LAKE, REDUCED IRON, PYRIDOXINE HYDROCHLORIDE (VITAMIN B6), RIBOFLAVIN (VITAMIN B2), THIAMIN HYDROCHLORIDE (VITAMIN B1), YELLOW #5 (TOXIC COLORING) LAKE, YELLOW #6 (TOXIC COLORING), BLUE #2 (TOXIC COLORING) LAKE, RED #40 (TOXIC COLORING), BLUE #1 (TOXIC COLORING) LAKE, YELLOW #5 (TOXIC COLORING), FOLIC ACID, SOY LECITHIN.

That was interesting. Studying ADHD and up pops a 'junk food' ad for
a food that would make any kid fail the test I just took. WOW.

So, some of you may be saying, 'Hey Mr. Insensitive, my child has a real problem!' And I say, you may be 100% right. But the question I ask is giving your child a drug the ONLY option? And yes, drugs are the ONLY treatment option ever given in the traditional medical world. And here are the 'side' effects of those meds (from Drugs.com):

Do not take Adderall if you have used an MAO inhibitor such as isocarboxazid (Marplan), tranylcypromine (Parnate), phenelzine (Nardil), rasagiline (Azilect), or selegiline (Eldepryl, Emsam) within the past 14 days. Serious, life-threatening side effects can occur if you take Adderall before the MAO inhibitor has cleared from your body.
Do not use Adderall if you are allergic to amphetamine and dextroamphetamine or if you have:
heart disease or moderate to severe high blood pressure (hypertension);
arteriosclerosis (hardening of the arteries);
overactive thyroid;
glaucoma;
severe anxiety, tension, or agitation; or
if you have a history of drug or alcohol addiction.
Some stimulants have caused sudden death in children and adolescents with serious heart problems or congenital heart defects.
Before taking Adderall, tell your doctor if you have:
a congenital heart defect;
high blood pressure;
heart failure, heart rhythm disorder, or recent heart attack;
a personal or family history of mental illness, psychotic disorder, bipolar illness, depression, or suicide attempt;
epilepsy or other seizure disorder; or
tics (muscle twitches) or Tourette's syndrome.
FDA pregnancy category C. It is not known whether Adderall will harm an unborn baby. It could cause premature birth, low birth weight, or withdrawal symptoms in a newborn if the mother takes this medication during pregnancy. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant while using this medication. Amphetamine and dextroamphetamine can pass into breast milk and may harm a nursing baby. Do not use Adderall without telling your doctor if you are breast-feeding a baby.
Sound like something you want your child consuming? Me neither. So then what is a concerned parent to do? Explore other options is the answer. There are effective, safe, and NON-DRUG alternatives to support your childs natural Neuordevelopment and attention. Seek them out. One place to do so is at the upcoming 'No Labels. No Limits.' Event in Chicagoland. Pediatric health experts will be on hand sharing many solutions to issues just like these. Come check it out!
Take care and ALWAYS remember, there is more than ONE option!

Autism - A 'Perferct Storm' That's Not So Perfect...

2011-05-03T15:10:00.000-07:00

As published in Family Time Magazine, a summary of the work myself and my team have been doing to reach the children. Hope You Enjoy, and please pass on :)

‘I have a dream!’ The familiar words expressed by one of the greatest men in our history. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. And like Dr. King, I Dr. Ashly Ochsner also have a dream. My dream though is different. It’s not to stop segregation or racism but to facilitate and contribute to the eradication of Autism in our modern world. Lofty? Impossible? Unrealistic? Maybe, yes. However, this is what many said of Dr. King’s dream. As I’ve said in many forums, conferences, and in print, “The single-next greatest day in my life will be when not one more child is diagnosed with Autism for it has been eradicated most of all through prevention, and recovery as well.” In order for this to be achieved, it’s going to take more than me. It’s going to take you and many others to begin the process, educate our community and the world, and see it through.

To achieve any goal or dream though, you have to have a plan. Your plan must start by having a clear understanding of the problem at hand. For instance, the medical model of health care is studying the genetic causes of this condition and conditions similar. But if you really look at genetics and statistics you will understand this is the complete and total wrong direction to go. How can I say this? Because it’s literally impossible for an epidemic to be caused by genetics. And to say that Autism is an epidemic is an understatement. Look at these statistics over the past 20 years for instance: Autism has a 6000+% increase from 1/10,000 to 1/91 (Fombonne et al, JAACAP, 2001/Pediatrics, October 5, 2009) compared to ADHD (400% increase), Asthma (300% increase), Allergies (400% increase), and diabetes (103% increase ) (Bingley, 2007). So if it’s not genetics where do we turn? Epigenetics is where we turn. The study of Epigenetics shows proof positive that stressors ‘turn on’ genes, they do not turn themselves on as previously believed. So it’s not that there’s a genetic cause, there’s a ‘stressor’ that causes the gene to turn on and dysfunction follows. And this is true across the entire board of genes, not only dealing with the ‘Autism’ gene. So then with this concept one must look at ‘stressors’ if getting to the true cause is the goal. After caring for, consulting with, and treating literally thousands of children with neurodevelopmental disorders and autism, one thing has become perfectly clear and that is that our children today encounter more of these ‘stressors’ than ever. From extreme emotional stress of their mother during pregnancy, along with direct physical stress and chemical stress during pregnancy, birth, and in the first months of life, we have created what has been referred to as ‘A Perfect Storm.’

A Perfect Storm is kind of a misnomer really. It occurs when a combination of circumstances all come together in exactly the right timing to create a powerful & incredible storm. Just weeks ago a ‘Perfect Storm’ stretched over a 1300+ mile path of our country, where this massive blizzard reached pinnacle intensity. This perfect storm inflicted the United States with wind, snow, lightning, thunder, and waves off of Lake Michigan with Katrina-like hurricane force. The damage has been intense and many lives were lost. Autism and nuerodevelopmental disorders are no different. Below I will outline the combination of circumstances affecting our children today contributing to this beast of a storm.

Neurological interference and damage is a major result of the stressors mentioned above. One major problem seen in nearly every child today is massive spinal damage from the birth process. Research has shown that blocked nerve impulses at the top of the neck were detected in 80% of all children studied. This means that they are not in autonomic balance, right from the beginning of life in the world. (Gutmann, G. “Blocked Atlantal Nerve Symndrome In Infants and Small Children.” - Manuelle Medizine, Springer-Verlag 1987.) This then blocks the child’s ability to function and heal at the core. A critical component to the evaluation of the health of these children is a detailed and specialized evaluation of their spinal column for proper alignment and nerve system function by a pediatric Chiropractor. Check out the research and these case studies to understand this most important fact. A normally aligned cervical spine (neck) is depicted (on the left) as well as an abnormally aligned spine and nerve system (on the right). The neuro-surgeon Dr. Alfred Brieg in this research study showed that an abnormally aligned cervical spine places damaging pressure on the spinal cord and brain stem.
Now look at the images below of two patients in our clinic who are sister and brother. The sister on the left is classified as neurotypical or ‘normal’ having no damage or pressure to her nerve system. Notice that the brother on the right, who regressed into Autism at about age 3, has extreme damage and pressure to his spine and nerve system.

It’s important to mention I believe that these two children at the same food, had the same number of vaccines, breathed the same air, and came from the same mother and father. However, the brother whose spinal cord was damaged from the birth process, consequently had an extreme limitation to adapt to the stressors he encountered, unlike his sister who could adapt. There’s part of the ‘perfect storm’ of circumstances that contributed to his regression. This is only one case of hundreds in our clinics that are extremely intriguing and definitely warrant further research no doubt.

So as you can see, if the central function and healing capacity of the child, the nervous system, is compromised, we have a recipe for disaster from that point forward. Especially when you examine today’s world. The ‘food’ we feed our children, the toxins they encounter and in the numbers they encounter all of these, are frightening. For instance, the modern diet of today doesn’t consist of food. It consists of what Dr. Joel Fuhrman, MD refers to as ‘food-like things.’ The Standard American Diet (S.A.D.) is composed of processed, packaged, preserved, sprayed, and genetically modified substances that our children (and adults) consume on a daily basis, and in gigantic portions many times. There are many dangers in what our children are consuming, ranging from sugar (and other processed sweeteners), to bad and damaged fats, as well as toxins. Today the average person consumes 183 lbs. of sugar according to the University of California Berkeley! This causes inflammation, blood sugar problems, and many other stresses to the body. Our children are given corn syrup in a bottle (infant formula) as their chief source of nutrition right from day one of life. Very damaging and dangerous as you can imagine. As well, they consume huge amounts of bad and damaged fats in all of the boxed and processed foods they consume from cereal, to crackers, to cookies. Not to mention the fried foods like chicken nuggets and French fries. The damage continues with major toxins in the hot dogs and cold cuts they eat in the form of nitrites, and the many other commercial animal products that are introduced into their fragile little bodies. Time magazine wrote about this exact problem regarding the ‘real cost of cheap food’ in August of 2009. For instance, commercial animals are raised with so many chemicals ranging from steroids, to hormones, to antibiotics. As well they are fed a diet of mainly corn and other grains that are not what they are meant to eat. And if grains make cows fat fast, shouldn’t we take note of that as humans? Our food supply is in danger in more ways than one, and consequently so is our children’s health.

And it doesn’t stop there, then comes more toxins not from food though, but in the form of an abundance of vaccinations and medications consistently given throughout their childhood. As a matter of fact, by 12 months of age, an American child will have received 25 vaccines through 5 separate vaccine appointments. In most appointments, six vaccines are given to a child in 3-4 minutes (generationrescue.org). And as life goes on, up to 49 doses of 14 vaccines are given today before age six. That's up to 12 vaccines possible at one visit. (NVIC.org) That’s a lot compared to the around 10 vaccines administered total prior to this massive increase that started in 1983. The toxic onslaught continues as they are exposed to other toxins like CHLORINE, FLOURIDE, and MEDICATIONS in our water supply, PTHALATES from the plastics they consume food and drink from, VOC’s from paint and finishes, PFOA’s from Teflon cookware, EMF’s from all of the electronics of today, LEAD from toys, old paint, and some candy, PBDE’s from mattresses and carpets, and MERCURY from factories and refineries! When you really think about it, it is no doubt a ‘perfect storm’ of stressors that exist in today’s world. But talk to any mother of a child with Autism or any other neurodevelopmental disorder and it’s far from ‘perfect’. I have no idea what it truly feels like to have a child with a neurodevelopmental disorder like ASD, I have now worked with thousands of parents with children who do. While for sure my heart is broken, I also have seen the hope that exists in what can be done in calming and reversing this not-so-perfect storm telling me that this storm shall pass. And without a doubt, ‘I have a dream.’

No labels. No limits.

There’s a trend developing across the world. I get emails from parents all over the world looking for answers for their damaged children. From Mauritius in the Indian Ocean, Jordan in the Middle East, British Columbia Canada, and right here in Chicagoland. Parents all over are seeking answers to help heal and recover their children. Diseases and disorders like Autism, Aspergers, Pervasive Developmental Disorder, ADD, ADHD, Bipolor disorder, Cerebral Palsy, and about every other label you can think of. And a growing number of parents are seeking out what they can do to help support their children and PREVENT them from ever ending up ‘labeled’ or needing diagnosing or major intervention.

We now know more than EVER in history about the causes of poor neurodevelopment, as well as the dramatic and drastic effects of poor neurological function in kids. Traditional western medicine has two answers for treating the growing number of kids affected by these disorders – 1) drugs. 2) more drugs. Many times so many psychotropic drugs that child isn’t even remotely close to being who they were designed to be.

I know you are probably like many people saying to yourself, ‘it will never happen to me (my child)’. I want you to know from the bottom of my heart that the statistics are staggering though. 1:91 kids now are developing Autism. 5.4 million children were diagnosed with ADHD in 2007, and that number is climbing. 2230 babies died from what is termed ‘SIDS’, sudden infant death syndrome in 2005 and nearly 7 babies die per every 1000 born in the U.S.

Learn the facts. Get empowered. Don’t let your child become a victim of these frightening disorders. And if your child already is, seek out answers. Don’t miss the ‘No Labels, No Limits’ event on May 14, 2011. Even if you don’t have children of your own, this event will be eye opening and transformational. You could literally save a child’s life. Pass it on.

No Labels. No Limits. Maximizing Healthy Neurodevelopment in Kids

2011-05-01T21:41:00.000-07:00

Pregnancy. A mom to be has the best intentions for her delicate baby on board. But she didn’t know the damaging effects of the high fructose corn syrup in her diet, the artificial toxic sweeteners in her diet soda. She also didn’t know that the mercury in her silver fillings in her teeth, actually do leach murcury into her body. And mercury crosses the blood brain barrier and the placenta, as well as enters the breast milk.

Birth. Mom didn’t realize that her birth she wanted to do ‘naturally’ would be complicated by interventions like pitocin, wires, chemicals, and the most un-natural birthing position of lying on her back. She also didn’t know that the interventions would continue and vaccum extractor cups would be used on her child, damaging their skull and spinal cord.

Newborn. Mom didn’t know that in the vaccines given to her baby included a toxic dose of Vitamin K, human and viral dna, cell cultures from pig blood, monkey kidney tissue, chicken embryo cells, or even aborted human fetuses. And she also didn’t know that chemicals like borax, carbolic acid, and formaldehyde along with heavy metals like aluminum and murcury were also in the shots.

Infant – Toddler. No one ever taught mom to read the labels of what she was feeding her new baby. Genetically Modified baby foods, corn syrup laden formula, and even though she thought breast feeding was the best thing for her child, she had no idea that nearly every toxin in her body would pass to the baby through the breast, just like it did the placenta.

Health Challenges. Now the mom’s baby has symptoms. Allergies, eczema, ear infections, reflux, and asthma. So off to the doctor they go. And medications she is given. Antibiotics, steroids, and reflux drugs to ‘help’ her child. Not knowing the damaging effects of the medicaitons and previous toxic exposures on the immune system, the heart, and other organs, including the brain.

Threshold Exceeded. Next the mother sees her child stop hitting milestones. Stops talking, communicating. Starts strange behaviors like hand flapping, sitting in the corner, self injuring his/herself, fecal smearing, and outbursts of rage and anger that would scare a US Marine.

You just read the normal standard (but extremely abbreviated) path of raising a child in today’s over-medicalized world. Is it any wonder we have neurodevelopmental problems at rates never before seen in history? It’s time to stop the madness and insert some sanity. Don’t miss the big event, May 14, 2011 where parents, grandparents, therapists, teachers, and doctors will all learn the CAUSE. When you know the cause, you can prevent the problem. When you know the CAUSE you can treat and sometimes reverse the problem.
