Alert-itis?
M
ost of us are so busy ~ even over
whelmed ~ with the demands of
day-to-day living, that we just
don’t take time to read about urgent issues
and email, write, or call legislators.
And it seems that lately, the fire bell has
been ringing incessantly ~ enough to give us
“alert-itis.” Of course, that’s how “the other
side” wins, with persistent attacks that wear
us down.
Health freedom is a never-ending issue on
many fronts. Bio-identical hormones and the
very existence of compounding pharmacies
are under ongoing attack. Texas dieticians
continue to lobby to license nutritional coun-
seling only to them and medical doctors,
while the FDA wants to classify supplements,
etc., as drugs or medical devices, putting
naturopaths, health food stores, and wellness
clinics at risk. Concerns for food safety may
put raw nuts, and fresh produce in danger of
chemical treatment or some type of pasteur-
ization or irradiation. Legislation may in-
crease the ability to obscure or withhold vi-
tal labeling information. Organic standards
continue to be watered down. Terminology
is tricky. What does “cage free” really mean?
The mind-boggling National Animal Iden-
tification System (NAIS) continues to be a
threat, and the Texas Governor’s office is
doing an end run around the Trans Texas
Corridors moratorium. The war against dirty
coal plants is not over. Many more impor-
tant issues are vying for our time, energy,
and money.
Thankfully, it seems there are always those
special individuals who make great personal
sacrifices to lead the fight against one issue
or another. We certainly salute them all.

Interesting Individuals
Jean Heney and I met two very interesting
individuals recently. Josh Christian is originally
from what we used to call Bombey. He offers
counseling services and is especially dedicated
to helping people “unbottle” anger, fear, and
isolation. Years ago, in India, he abandoned the
big city life (17 million people), moved north
to 20 acres of family land, and took up organic
farming. He joined with a whole community of
organic farmers and connected with a wealthy
individual in Bombey who set up a CSA (com-
munity supported agriculture) co-op. He even
joined with activists to protest a large dam that
threatened many poor landowners. The dam was
built, but the people received a much improved
deal. I’m hoping he will share these fascinating
stories with us in the future.
We also met a fellow with an uncanny gift for
making horses drool. He’s an equine sports mas-
sage therapist who learned to “talk horse” from
an old Choctaw racehorse trainer. A thorough-
bred and quarter-horse jockey for many years,
Tony Houston, LMT, ESMT can now massage
riders as well, connecting horse to rider in a
unique way. His ability to tell trainers what’s
bothering a horse quickly gets the attention of
equine professionals.
Look for both Tony and Josh among our col-
umnists on the new section of our website, along
with many other new and familiar HAYC prac-
titioners and product experts. This special sec-
tion is under development, so keep checking
back as we try to build it up as fast as we can.

Spider mites need to be stopped early. Of-
ten by the time their presence is recognized
(usually by the web stage), too much damage
is done. They suck the chlorophyll right out
of a leaf. A little mottling in leaves can be an
early sign. Spray at the outset for prevention
or early damage control. Insects like shade and
love to hide on the undersides of leaves. Place
white paper under a leaf and hit the top of the
leaf to shake off any mites. If you see little
dots, run your finger over them. If they smear
red or green, they are tiny spider mites.

Why Are We Losing Our Minds?
Alzheimer’s and vascular dementia are tragic conditions that seem to be increasing at a frightening rate. Is this a curse
of modern-day life? Can we do anything to prevent, slow, or improve these conditions? Some important information
from the naturopathic practitioners of Trinity Wellness Center.
O
ver the past several decades, Americans have witnessed a
staggering increase in the prevalence of brain-deteriorating
illnesses, such as Alzheimer’s and vascular dementia.
Anyone who has watched a loved one suffer with one of these
illnesses knows the heartache they can cause for patients and family
members.
Currently in America, it is estimated that 5.1 million Americans
have Alzheimer’s disease with someone developing the disease
every 72 seconds! It is estimated that 42% of adults over the age of
85 suffer with Alzheimer’s disease. In the year 2000, there was an
estimated 411,000 new cases of Alzheimer’s disease. In the year
2030, it is estimated that approximately 7.7 million people will
It is estimated that someone develops Alzheimer’s

have Alzheimer’s disease, a greater than 50% increase over the
number currently affected. By the year 2050, is it estimated that
there will be 959,000 new cases a year with someone developing
the disease every 33 seconds.
In this article, we will explore some possible reasons that these
dementing diseases are becoming more prevalent at such a rapid
rate, what to do if you or a loved one begins to develop symptoms,
and some possible ways to deter, slow or even prevent the onset
and progression of these conditions.
What Is Alzheimer’s?
Alzheimer’s disease is a degenerative disorder characterized by
a specific set of physiological changes in the brain. There are a
variety of symptoms that often present with the onset of Alzheimer’s
disease. Progressive mental deterioration occurs that interferes with
the patient’s ability to function socially and at work. As the disease
progresses, there is severe memory loss, particularly in short-term
memory. Other common symptoms include disorientation,
dysphasia (the inability to find the right word), unpredictable mood
swings, poor or weaker judgment, problems with abstract thinking,
misplacing things, changes in mood or behavior, personality
changes, and loss of initiative. In it’s final stages, Alzheimer’s
disease can cause severe confusion and disorientation, and possibly
even hallucinations and delusions. In this final stage, patients may
become angry and violent, or docile and passive.
Other disorders exhibit symptoms that are similar to those of
Alzheimer’s disease. Vascular dementia is caused by an interruption
of blood flow to the brain. This can be caused by arteriosclerosis
(hardening of the arteries) that cuts off some or all of the blood
flow to the brain, a series of minor strokes which cause death to
part of the brain, an accumulation of fluid exerting pressure on
parts of the brain, blood clots that block the flow of blood to the
brain, reactions to medications or combinations of medications,
and a nutrient-poor diet. People with dementia caused by any of
these things, can exhibit the same symptoms as people with
Alzheimer’s disease.
6
What Causes Dementia?
It is widely accepted that one of the causes of the symptoms of
Alzheimer’s and dementia is the failure of neurons that have been
damaged or destroyed by free radicals. One of the causes of free-
radical generation is inflammation.
Inflammation is increased in the body with the consumption of
certain foods, the intake of certain medications, and other factors
such as stress. Preventing inflammation in the body is also
paramount in decreasing the risk factors for many other illnesses
such as cancer and arthritis. Viruses, bacteria, fungus, and parasites
also attach to brain cells and harbor in the brain. For example,
Lyme disease and Epstein Barr Virus, especially when in
combination with heavy metals, intensify free-radical attachment,
sometimes as much as 100 times.
High-Risk Occupations & Devices
Studies have shown that there is a direct relationship between
occupations that expose individuals to higher levels of
electromagnetic radiation and the risk of developing Alzheimer’s
disease. These “high-risk” occupations include electricians, machine
operators, seamstresses, welders, and many others.
In today’s society with the wide-spread use of hand-held cell
phones, personal computers and other electronic devices, it is a
concern that this constant exposure to electromagnetic radiation
might be at least partially responsible for the increasing prevalence
of these diseases.
We as Americans live in an increasingly toxic environment.
Exposure to toxic heavy metals such as aluminum and mercury is
another commonly accepted risk factor for the development of
Alzheimer’s disease. Since metals are in everything from aluminum
cans, plastics, foils and dyes, to anti-perspirants and shampoos,
Americans are exposed to metals more than they realize.
A major contributor to neuron damage is
inflammation.
Aluminum and other metals can be found in high levels in some
municipal drinking water. In our food supply, aluminum can be
found in some non-dairy creamers, self-rising flours, cake mixes,
and a large variety of processed foods, and mercury is also found
in dental amalgams (silver fillings) and some fresh and canned fish.
Decline in Nutritional Diet
Overall, we are also seeing a marked decline in the quality of the
typical American diet. Most Americans eat a diet much too high in
quick-prepared processed foods, fast foods, artificial sweeteners,

food colorings and dyes, and much too low in fresh whole foods
such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean meats.
Prevention Is the Key!
When it comes to these dementing illnesses, whether it is before
or after the symptoms begin, prevention is key. We can all do things
throughout our lives that lower our risks of developing these
diseases. If we, or someone we love, start to develop symptoms, no
matter how old they are, it is even more important that they do
everything possible to prevent the disease from progressing.
Eating a healthy diet, one that is high in natural, whole foods
such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean meats (especially fish),
and nuts and seeds is a very important factor in preventing these
diseases. Whole grains contain B vitamins that are extremely
important for a variety of reasons for the health of the nervous
system. Nuts and seeds contain calcium and magnesium, minerals
that also support nervous system health. Essential fatty acids,
particularly omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids are also very
important for supporting nervous system health. Omega-3 fatty acids
are found in foods such as fish and flaxseed oils, while omega-6
acids are found in substances such as Evening Primrose oil, Borage
oil, and Black Current oil. Anti-oxidants, found in many fresh fruits
and vegetable as well as a variety of other foods, are known to
decrease free-radical production in the body, lowering risk factors
for a variety of health concerns including Alzheimer’s disease and
dementia.
In addition to including these foods, excluding certain foods can
also play an important role in preventing these diseases. Arachidonic

products, and eggs, increases inflammation, increasing the risk of
Alzheimer’s disease. While these foods should not be completely
eliminated from the diet, they should be eaten in moderation. In
addition to increasing inflammation in the body, refined sugars also
deplete the body of its supplies of B vitamins and magnesium, which
are both crucial nutrients for mental function.
Refined sugars accelerate brain aging! The average American
eats 135-200 lbs. of sugar, 8 lbs. of salt, and 14 lbs. of chemical
additives each year! Artificial sweeteners such as aspartame and
splenda are neurotoxins that have a wide variety of negative effects
on the nervous system, especially the brain. Many other food
additives such as coloring and dyes can also be very toxic to the
nervous system.

Common Medication & Shot Risks?
Certain medications or combinations of medications should also
be avoided. Acetaminophen (the main ingredient in Tylenol) has
been shown to decrease glutathione production. Glutathione is one
of the primary brain anti-oxidants, so its deficiency can lead to an
increase in free radicals in the brain, which is thought to be one of
the leading causes of dementing illness. Many other medications
commonly used today interfere with our body’s ability to metabolize
vitamins, minerals, and other valuable substances.
There is also recent research that indicates that people who get
flu shots on a regular basis have an increased risk of developing

Alzheimer’s and dementia. It is important to weigh the pros and
cons of these vaccines before coming to an informed decision about
whether or not to get them for yourselves or your children.
As mentioned earlier, we live in a very toxic society. From the
food we eat and the water we drink, to the air we breathe, we live in
a polluted, toxic environment. The average human body contains
traces of over 400 synthetic chemicals. A whopping 3200 tons of
dye is added to food every year. It is important that, whenever
possible, we avoid these toxins. We can do this by buying clean,
organic foods, drinking filtered water, and using air purifiers.
Detox the Body & the Brain!
Even doing all of these things, we are still exposed to more toxins
than our bodies can handle. When this occurs, our bodies can either
eliminate the toxins or store them. The ones that we cannot eliminate
are often stored in the brain, building up a large toxic load over the
course of a lifetime. Detoxifying the body on a regular basis is very
important for assisting the body in ridding itself of these damaging
substances and lowering our risk of Alzheimer’s disease and
dementia.
Exercise! Physical & Mental!
Exercise significantly increases the density of the blood vessels
in the brain, improving their integrity as well as improving blood
flow. Nutrients are carried to the brain in the blood, so blood flow
is very important. Exercise also acts to pump cerebrospinal fluid,
which coats the brain and spinal cord, providing it with the nutrients
it needs. Studies have shown that people who engage in regular

days on the river. Those memories have been with me since then.
When swapping paddling stories with friends, those days on the
Allegheny River in Pennsylvania always come up. I recall the
laughter, the thrills we had running the river, and the smile on my
dad’s face when he saw how much fun I was having. I never really
thought about that until recently.
Since I live so far away from my family, I don’t get the opportunity
to spend much time with them now. That’s why it was a special
treat when my dad came down here for a visit. It was his 60th birthday
present.
During his visit, I took him kayaking in Hagerman Wildlife
Refuge. I wasn’t sure how the trip would go since he hasn’t been
paddling for a number of years. Once we launched the kayak and
headed up the creek, those old feelings came back. It felt like we
were on the Allegheny again.
We had a wonderful time paddling and watching the wildlife along
the way. We reminisced about our past trips we used to take and
laughed about the time we broadsided a large rock. My dad jumped

Why Are We Losing Our Minds?
physical activity have a lower risk of developing both Alzheimer’s
disease and dementia. The more the body moves, the more blood
flow and cerebrospinal flow is improved. Even something as simple
as walking can help improve the blood flow to the brain.
Mental stimulation is also important. An enriched environment
is one that provides healthy nervous system stimulation and
increased social interactions. These things stimulate the
development of neurons (nerve cells) in the brain. Puzzles, mind
teasers, and stimulating conversation can keep the mind alert and
active at any age.
The increase in the prevalence of Alzheimer’s and dementia in
America is alarming. It is very important that we all take the
necessary steps to decrease our risk of suffering from these
debilitating illnesses.
Any illness can be slowed or even reversed (God-willing) if you
do two things: 1) remove the burdens and, 2) give the body what it
needs. If you or anyone in your family starts to develop any of the
symptoms discussed above, it is important that you contact a health-
care practitioner as soon as possible.
Although medical doctors may diagnose these conditions and
support these patients medically, especially for crisis management,
naturopathic and nutritional support is essential to optimize
stabilization and recovery potential. There are many vitamins,

out of the canoe expecting deep water only to find the water was
about two feet deep. I can still see the expression that was on his
face.
On the drive home, we talked about our day of paddling and how
much we both enjoyed it. Seeing the smile on his face, I understand
what he must have felt all those years ago. I had a lot of fun that
day, but what made that day special was spending it with my dad.
My smile was there because of him.
Kayaking and canoeing are wonderful ways to get out for exercise,
enjoy the environment and wildlife, or simply share a great
experience with someone you care about. When the day is over,
you will always have those memories to cherish.
I feel very fortunate to have shared another paddling experience
with my dad. I will always have the memories of our trips when I
was young, but now I have another one, one that I will appreciate
and truly hold dear to me for a long time to come.

minerals, and herbs that have been shown to lower the risk or slow
the progression of these brain-deteriorating illnesses.
Chiropractic adjustments are also a key factor in decreasing the
risk of these illnesses as well as preventing their progression.
Chiropractic adjustments improve blood flow to the brain and
improve the overall health of the nervous system. Choose a wellness-
oriented or neurology-certified chiropractor and a certified clinical
nutritionist or naturopathic physician for adjunctive care. Whether
you (or someone you love) have been diagnosed with one of these
illnesses or you are young and healthy and are simply trying to
decrease your risk of developing these diseases, employing the
measures mentioned above will give you the best possible
opportunity to live a long, healthy, mentally sharp life.

 “A Doctor’s Confession to the Town of Flower Mound…”
And why, despite all, I still do what I do…
Dear friend,
Confessions are tough. Real tough. But, sometimes a
confession can set the record straight, and I want to give
credit where credit is due. Before I talk about my confes-
sion, though, let me say a few other things first. Let me
start by explaining the photo in this letter. I’m the one in
the middle and that’s my husband beside me. Let me tell
you my story.
Years ago something happened to me that changed my
life forever.
“I remember like it was yesterday, although I was just in
high school at the time. It was the day I got hired to work
for this incredible man. The more we talk and the more I
learn about him, the more I get interested in what he tells
me. He tells me how excited he is to go to work everyday
and how passionate he is about his job. He loves seeing
kids, families and all kinds of people come to see him.
And, that’s not all…
You see, this incredible man is a doctor, but not just any
doctor. He tells me that his type of doctor has a very dif-
ferent way of looking at health. They understand that the
body knows how to heal itself, and because of that these
doctors do not use drugs or surgery at all. But, there’s
more…
He tells me stories about kids that were really sick, and
got help nowhere else, getting well. He tells me stories of
people with terrible migraines that get well. He talks
about people crawling in and walking out. I can tell he
makes a positive impact on their lives and that they all
love him for the miracles they see happening. By the
way, this amazing doctor is a Chiropractor.
After hearing my new boss’ story I am fascinated and
impressed. It was soon after that I begin to witness all of
these wonderful testimonies of his patients. I am so
touched by what chiropractic has done for these patients
that I eventually decide to go to chiropractic school
myself. Now, I, too, am a chiropractor. And, you know
what? I’ve never looked back; it was the best thing that
I’ve ever done. I have the best job in the world. And,
that’s how it happened!”
Now for Michael and Alaina, they are twins and were
born at 26 1/2 weeks and spent their first 3 1/2 years of life
in and out of the hospital. They were taking medications
three times a day everyday! Their parents were very tired
of always being in the pediatricians office taking medica-
tions and thought that there had to be a better way. That’s
when they decided to try chiropractic. Alaina suffered
from attention deficit tendencies, asthma and was taking
medications regularly. After getting adjusted not only has
she been able to focus better and doesn’t struggle like she
used to, but her asthma is no longer an issue and is off of
all her medications! Michael also struggled with asthma
and motor development issues. He was born with emphy-
sema, a collapsed lung and suffered from a misaligned rib
cage. After getting regular chiropractic adjustments, he is
Stone Creek Family Chiropractic
Stone Creek Plaza • Morriss Rd. & FM 3040 • FLOWER MOUND
off all of his medications, including his steroids for his
asthma and has grown 3 inches in a year and a half. His
motor development problems continue to improve. They
are now both happy and healthy and not riddled with
being sick and taking medications all the time! Their
mom, Shannon also states that “chiropractic has also ben-
efited us financially by saving us money! We no longer
spend $400 a month on prescription medications. If the
twins do get sick it never lasts long and is not as severe,
they recover much faster and don’t have to take all those
medications.”
It’s strange how life is, because now children come to see
me for asthma and childhood illnesses. Also they come to
me with their headaches, migraines, chronic pain, neck
pain, shoulder/arm pain, whiplash from car accidents,
backaches, ear infections, asthma, allergies, numbness in
limbs, athletic injuries, just to name a few.
Several times a day patients thank me for helping them
with their health problems. But I can’t really take the
credit. My confession is that I’ve never healed anyone of
anything. What I do is perform a specific spinal adjust-
ment to remove nerve pressure, and the body responds by
healing itself. We get tremendous results. It’s as simple
as that!
Being a chiropractor can be tough, because there’s a host
of so-called experts out there. They tell people a lot of
things that are just plain ridiculous about my profession.
But the studies speak for themselves, like the Virginia
study that showed that over 90% of patients who saw a
chiropractor were satisfied with their results. That’s just
incredible!
Forty-eight million Americans no longer have health
insurance, and those who do have found that their bene-
fits are reduced. That’s where chiropractic comes in.
Many people find that they actually save money on their
health care expenses by seeing a chiropractor. Another
way to save…studies show that chiropractic may double
your immune capacity, naturally and without drugs. The
immune system fights colds, the flu, and other sickness-
es. So you may not be running off to the doctor as much.
This is especially important if you are self-employed.

up to $250 elsewhere. And, further care is very affordable

Further care is very important to consider when making
your choice of doctor. High costs can add up very
quickly.
Great care at a great fee…Please, I hope that there’s no
misunderstanding about quality of care just because I
have a lower exam fee. You’ll get great care at a great fee.

moved our practice to Flower Mound over two years ago.
We’ve been entrusted to take care of tiny babies to some

Healthcare, Democracy, The Healer,...and Us
“Give me two weeks,” says naturopath Larry Mayo, “to get your attention,” on the path of
discovering your body’s individualized needs and inherent ability to heal itself when properly
supported. Here, Larry challenges us to think clearly about today’s healthcare system and our
responsibility to truly care for our health.
W
hy do we seek healthcare? For most people, it is because
something has gone wrong in our bodies and our brain
has gotten that message.
Actually, our bodies attempt to communicate a lot more than we
may realize! For example, everyone knows what “hungry” feels
like and what to do about it. It’s the same for “thirsty”, “sleepy”,
“tired,” etc. Underlying and driving all these transmissions from
the body to the brain is the most powerful and constant message of
all: Survive! Most of what we do from a natural, unconscious
motivation is done to promote our survival. When something
happens that potentially threatens our survival, our brain is
challenged to devise and execute strategies to neutralize the threat.
That’s really why we seek healthcare.
Modern Medicine and Capitalism Respond
As the industrialization of Western Civilizations gathered
momentum around the turn of the 20th century, capitalism emerged
as the most successful system for production of wealth and
prosperity. The point of this article is not to make an argument
against our system of commerce. No one of sound mind could or
should stand in opposition to peace and prosperity. But, as with all
human endeavors, there are flaws in our systemic pursuits ~ flaws
which need to be re-examined and adjusted.
Healthcare is one aspect of our society that is clearly in desperate
need of a major overhaul. Insurance coverage grabs all the attention
through the mass media, but core-level dysfunctions are the real
problem.
In economic terms, every time someone is diagnosed with a
serious disease, gross domestic product (GDP) goes up and lots of
money will change hands. Every time someone chooses to consume
food or products, which poison the body, GDP goes up.
Every time one person purchases a natural or less-toxic product
or food, or engages a naturopathic healthcare professional, GDP
also goes up, but at a much slower rate and far less volume than the
aforementioned modes. It is cheaper to build health than to fight
sickness. In other words, there is far more money to be made from
sickness than from wellness.
Democracy!! Really?
Most of us think of democracy as the right to vote during public
elections for the candidate or party of our choice. But it is our
economic activity that sends the most immediate message to the
powers that be. The real democracy, which we all participate in
every day of our lives, is called “The Free Market”.
If you bought food from your local grocer that is labeled “organic”
or “pesticide and herbicide free,” congratulations, you just voted
in favor of a cleaner, more nutritious, and less-toxic food supply. If
you asked the manager of your favorite store to please stock more
of such products, thank you, you just sent a message that you are
concerned about what you put in or on your body and, with enough
votes, the suppliers of the free market will respond to your demands.
If you chose to engage your local Chiropractor to address possible
spinal problems, or your local soft-tissue specialist for possible
by Larry Mayo, NTS
neuromuscular problems, or your local
naturopathic technician in response to
internal and/or nutritional malfunctions, congratulations, you just
voted to promote the required overhaul of our healthcare system.
You just voted to begin answering Dr. Juanee Surprise’s question
from the previous issue: Why not try the natural way first? It is
clearly time for some changes. “Thy food shall be thy medicine
and thy medicine shall be thy food.” ~ Hippocrates
The Healer
An eight-year-old girl, riding her bicycle down the sidewalk,
swerves, crashes to the ground, and her left leg, just above the ankle,
shatters in several places. Doctors perform emergency surgery,
stabilizing the broken bone with steel plates and pins. Months later,
the bones in her leg have healed very well.
To be sure, the medical professionals and facilities were necessary
for a positive outcome within this story. But, who really “healed”
the bones in the child’s leg? The answer is, of course, her own
body rebuilt the damaged structures in her injured limb. The
mechanisms in play that conducted the restructuring within her body
are inherent within all of us. So it is with all of our healthcare
challenges on a personal level. We may, on occasion, need assistance
and/or guidance on a path toward better and sustainable health, but
the point to take is that, ultimately, we must actively do whatever
we can to promote our own body’s ability to heal. There are only
two true healers in the universe: Yourself and Your Creator.
…And Us
So, here we are in the Land of Liberty and Opportunity, though
our liberties are at some degree of risk these days. The forces of
large corporations in collusion with some aspects of government
strive daily to control our thoughts and options concerning the care
and feeding of our very own bodies. It is as if the so-called “elites”
of our nation have decided that our bodies and our health are
commodities which we must purchase from them. In my personal
opinion, this body and the life I live within it is a gift from a much
higher and more benevolent power than exists anywhere on this
planet.
As for opportunity, as precious as it is, it is only that; it’s a chance,
not a guarantee. It exists hand in hand with responsibility, for
ourselves, for our environment (both internal and external), and
for our fellow beings. There it is again, the “R” word. It sometimes
seems that we must all eat responsibility pie for breakfast every
day and it gets heavier all the time. However, I’ve learned something
along my way that I feel is very important and even comforting:
The more I search, the more I learn. The more I learn, the lighter
my responsibilities become.
So here we are in America and we’ve once again come full circle.
Our health, the most precious thing one could ever have, is up to
us. It’s up to you and I and all those we touch. Let us search. Let us
learn. And let us choose wisely.

Carol & Ray Croteau
Thermography Center Scan
Finds Unsuspected Pre-
Cancerous Polyps
No radiation. No discomfort. Just a full
functional analysis able to detect the
very early onset of problems. It made
a believer out of Ray Croteau!
I
had my first Thermography Center
testing three years ago. I had never heard
of it, and knew nothing about it, when
my wife Carol told me she wanted to get
one done. However, she kept putting it off
week after week. I started to get on her case
about not going.
She told me if I would go with her and
get one done on myself, she would go. My
first thought was, “No way.” And I don’t
Try as
need to spend the money for something I
don’t need. And to tell you the truth, I was a
Clas little intimidated about it. After thinking
For seriously about her not going, I agreed.
Free! The bottom line to this story is the
thermograpy test found trouble in my colon
area. My doctor told me to get a
colonoscopy.
When I talked to the doctor doing the
colonoscopy, he asked why I wanted to
get one. After I told him about the
thermography results, he laughted and said,
“I have no faith in that kind of scanning and
there is probably nothing wrong with you.”
Two weeks later I had the colonoscopy
done. I was told there were several large
polyps as big as my thumb and a LOT of
small ones. He removed all of them and
found several of the large ones were pre-
cancerous.
Needless to say I am a BIG believer now
in having a Thermography Center test at
least once a year. I have had one each year
for the last 3 years and I recommend it to
everyone I talk to, that they do the same.
You never know. Thanks to Dr. Ann
Coleman for recommending the
Thermography Center to my wife.

Are You Sick & Tired of Feeling Sick & Tired?...
Keep Your Energy Flowing!
Why regular chiropractic care is a key component for lifelong health for all
family members, no matter what their age….
W
e have a number of patients who
may have started regular
adjustments in our office with
some hesitation, but after reaping the health
benefits, they are chiropractic advocates!
They began to refer more family members
to our office and they too have experienced
the improvements that a chiropractic
lifestyle can bring.
Shirley Reynolds, an initially skeptical
mother, recently said, “Well, Dr. Steve is our
primary health provider.” In their
introductory consultation, Dr. Steve had
called attention to the older daughter’s badly
misaligned neck, the younger daughter’s
bladder/urinary tract, and everyone’s sinus
problems. He was unaware of the correlating
histories of headaches, UTIs, and allergies.
Shirley later said, “This was a score for me,
and so we decided to follow Stone Creek’s
recommendations. It seemed a little frequent
to me in the beginning, but I didn’t
understand (at that time) that chiropractic
is a way of life! We needed to correct the
problem, not just ‘fix it when you think you
need it.’ Now I want everyone to have this
in their life!”
The allergy medications are now a thing
of the past and the girls’ problems are under
control. Dad is now receiving regular care.
Shirley told a friend that, “I should be on
the once-a-week maintenance schedule, but
I prefer to go twice a week because I just
feel better.” She drives from Denton to
Flower Mound, and has referred a number
of other families to SCFC for regular
chiropractic care. (And all through Health
Around Your Corner Magazine.) The kids
talk to their friends with allergies: and say
“You need to see Dr. Steve about that.”
Recently, a patient began care who is an
organic farmer who drives over an hour to
get here. She was convinced to come for a
consultation by reading about Stone Creek
in HAYC. By seeing the progress of others
and just how much can be achieved, she was
convinced of the efficacy of the corrective
care approach. She had been to several other
chiropractors in the past.

Optimal Pre-Natal Nutrition for Mom and Baby
Boost Your Child’s Brain Power! Chuck Tillotson, DC, explains the advantages of
specific nutrients at crucial times during pregnancy and early child development.
N
othing could be more important than
providing optimal nutrition to your
baby during pregnancy. Starting
with a good quality multi-vitamin, which
contains all the active forms of the B-
vitamins, is essential.
Activated Vitamins Essential
Most vitamin producers do not utilize the
activated forms of the B-vitamins because
they typically have a shorter life. For
example, the Thorne brand contains
pyridoxial-5-phosphate (p-5-p), which is
the form of B6 which the body uses;
however most other brands utilize
some form of pyridoxine. If this
unactivated form cannot be
converted by the body, then the
body does not have enough B6. All
of us are familiar with folic acid and
its value to the fetus, especially
during the first few weeks after
conception; however this too is an
unactivated form of B9. B9 has several
activated forms, one of which is folinic acid.
Morning Sickness & B6
It is important to note that, during
pregnancy, the baby gets nutritional priority
over the mother, and vice versa once the
baby is born. A mother’s morning nausea
and sickness when pregnant result from her
giving up her B6 to the baby, and therefore
Plastics and Water
T
hrough the ages different materials
have been used to make containers
to hold and transport water, ranging
from wood to silver. The most toxic of those
materials has been lead (used in pipes) and
the most inert, glass. Because of the cost,
weight, and safety hazard of glass and the
workability of plastic, glass is seldom used.
(We have actually seen holes burned into
car seats from the sun shining through glass
water bottles).
In a society where cancer is the number-
one feared sickness, the top question
concerning health is: What is it that causes
us to have so much cancer in our affluent
society? Everything becomes suspect:
her levels decrease. Thus, she is unable to
produce the stomach acid she needs, because
stomach acid production requires B6,
magnesium and zinc. As a result, bile from
the gallbladder migrates into the stomach and
causes the burning and nausea symptoms.
Obviously, the mother needs to increase her
p-5-p. Ginger tea or peppermint tea can also
be helpful to mom as well.
Boosting Baby’s Brain Power
Numerous nutrients are of value to
the fetus. My short list would include
zinc, copper, iron, selenium, fatty
acids, all the activated B-vitamins and
another B-vitamin family nutrient
called choline. Drs. Williams and
Merek of Columbia University did
research on rats that greatly
support the supplementation of
choline. The key timing of
supplementation of choline
appears to be the first 12-16
weeks pre-natally and the first 3
months after the baby is born. Due
to the fact that choline is tied to
another mineral in supplement
form, it is optimal to take 1200 mg.
daily.
Investing a small amount of money
in choline now, could prevent a lot of
expenses and issues with your child’s
learning later in life. It is the first 12-16
by Richard Cure
plastic; lack of minerals; animal fat;
chemicals; chemically-changed, foods;
additives; and lack of exercise can all be
sited as culprits. Possibly they all play a
part in why we Americans have so much
cancer and so many other degenerative
diseases.
Could it be though, the answer to the
problem is in the statement, “Moderation in
all things?” The good God made our bodies
so as to be able to tolerate a great deal of
abuse and poison. The kidneys and liver
work full time to remove the impurities from
the body, but if the body gets too much and/
or too long an exposure to something, there
are visible reactions.
by Chuck
Tillotson, DC
weeks of development which are key
because the brain and nervous system are
formed at this time. The choline, in the form
of phosphatidyl-choline, is a major building
block of neuronal membranes in forming the
nerve and the brain. It’s also an important
precursor of acetylcholine - a neuro-
transmitter known to be important in
memory.
By incorporating more choline through
diet and supplementation, it may be
possible to permanently enhance memory,
and therefore intelligence potential, of the
baby during development in the womb
and in the first few months of life.
Mothers may want to rethink the use
of infant formula, as it is far lower
in choline content (~5 mg) than
breast milk. The decision not to breast
feed or to supplement could have
long-reaching effects, as it appears that
choline is of “critical importance in
memory development, the determination
of adult memory capacity, and resistance to
age-related memory impairments.”

For our discussion here we will consider
the effects of plastic on water. As there is a
difference in the types of plastics, in their
chemical makeup and whether or not they
give off chemicals, one needs to consider
each one individually. Each chemical has a
possible set of reactions. When considering
the moderate use of plastics it is best not to
put all the plastics together because it would
misrepresent the exposure since each plastic
is so different in its possible problems.....

Vitamin C and Cancer

by Smart Idemudia, MD, PhD
Oral and Intravenous C ~ Dr. Idemudia explains the differences in
dose, absorption, effectiveness, and application for normal health
maintenance or serious conditions like cancer.

A
lot has been written about the
effectiveness of vitamin C in health
and disease. Vitamin C is effective
in maintaining health as well as in treating
various disease states, including cancer.
The effectiveness of this vitamin in cancer
was demonstrated more than 60 years ago
by Dr. Frederick Klenner, who wrote about
27 papers on vitamin C from the 1940’s to
the 1970’s. Later, Dr. Linus Pauling also
showed the effectiveness of this vitamin in
many disease states including cancer.
However, there has been a systematic
political and economic bias against this
vitamin and, every now and then, a “study”
would come out to say that this vitamin is
not effective in preventing or ameliorating
the ravages of disease. On the contrary, when
one searches the literature, one would find
that there is a mounting and impressive body
of evidence showing the importance of this
vitamin in many medical conditions. More
than 90 epidemiologic studies(1) have
looked into the effectiveness of vitamin C
and vitamin-C-rich foods in cancer
prevention.
Many Functions
Vitamin C plays an important role in
various biological functions. Vitamin C is
well-known as an antioxidant. However, it
has many other functions in the body. It is a
powerful free-radical scavenger and a good
chelating agent of heavy metals and other
environmental toxicants. Other functions of
vitamin C include the synthesis of hormones,
neurotransmitters and other substances in
the body. It functions to boost the immune
system.
Vitamin C exhibits anti-cancer properties
Internal and integrative medicine
specialist Dr. Smart Idemudia
in several ways:
1) It scavenges cancer-causing free radicals.
2) It regenerates active Vitamin E in lipid
membranes.
3) It enhances IgA, IgG, and IgM antibody
levels.
4) It neutralizes cancer-causing agents like
nitrites and nitrosamines.
5) It modulates interferon synthesis.
6) It possesses anti-viral and anti-bacterial
properties and thereby able to prevent and
treat cancers of bacterial or viral origin.
7) It increases synthesis of Prostaglandins
PGE1, which is anti-inflammatory and
inhibits synthesis of PGE2.
8) It enhances lymphocytic function as well
as the rapid mobilization of phagocytes.

Vitamin C and Cancer
In the early days of vitamin C research, Dr Klenner gave both
oral and intravenous vitamin C to a wide range of patients with a
myriad of medical problems from bacterial and viral infections to
cancer. His results were amazing.
Decades later, the double Nobel Laureate, Dr. Linus Pauling, also
studied and used vitamin C, both in oral and IV forms, in a variety
of medical conditions. His results were equally impressive. Dr.
Gladys Block of the University of California did an analysis of 90
epidemiological studies which looked at vitamin C or vitamin-C-
rich foods(1). The vast majority of these studies found statistically
significant protective effect. There was strong evidence for
protection against cancers of the oral cavity, esophagus, stomach,
and pancreas. These are particularly deadly cancers with extremely
poor prognosis, especially pancreatic cancer. There was
substantially positive effect against breast, cervical and rectal
cancers in that analysis. Furthermore,
there was strong evidence for
protection against lung cancer, bladder,
IV Therapy prostate, and colorectal cancers. This
is a very impressive record for this
vitamin.
Improper Dosing ~ Oral vs. IV
Some of the controversy about the
effectiveness of this vitamin comes as
a result of improper dosing. It has been
known that, while orally administered

says Anne Hill, manager of Peak Nutrition.
Can we really do anything to help guard our

familiar with Gingko Biloba for memory

other helps for boosting brain power.
Listed at the top as the most important
neurotransmitter involved in memory and

memory loss is an insufficient supply of
necessary nutrients (especially the B
vitamins and amino acids) to the brain.” She
also states that the brain can become
malnourished because the blood has too
much cholesterol and triglycerides, which
do not allow nutrients to pass through to the
brain.” No doubt there are many factors in
memory loss, including free-radical damage
from drugs, pesticides, herbicides, and other
toxins in our environment.
These are some good brain foods available
from Peak Nutrition:
Lecithin ~ contains phosphatidylcholine
and inositol. Our brain is said to be made
up of 30% lecithin. The myelin sheaths that
line our brain, spine, and nerves are mostly
composed of lecithin.
B12 ~ lack of B-12 can lead to dementia,
especially in the elderly.
B vitamin, pantothenic acid ~ helps to
transport choline to the neuro-transmitter
acetylcholine.
DHA ~ a most prominent essential fatty acid
in the brain ~ Omega 3’s.
Phosphatidylserine ~ a key help for
improving and protecting memory. Peak has
a product with a special
bond of phosphatidyl-
serine and DHA. Does it
work, you ask?

Clinical studies
show it to be very

alcohol, etc., promotes free-radical damage,
“the rusting out” from the inside which
causes us to age more quickly, including our
brain?
Good herbals known for brain health
include Gotu Kola, Gingko Biloba, and
Huperzime A. Remember the goal: to
increase brain levels of acetylcholine and
decrease its deterioration. Alan Kozikowski,
Ph.D., the scientist who first synthesized
Huperzime A extract, says that Huperzime
A may just help with both these things
(Healthy Healing, 12th edition. pg. 599.)
Vinpocetine, from vincamine ~ an extract
of periwinkle, has been used for 25 years in
Hungary for senility (Nutritional Healing).

Things to stay away
from, says Anne, are “too
much sugar and foods
with MSG. Sugar depletes
vitamins, especially the
B’s, and MSG is a
neurotoxin. Staying away
from artificial sweeteners is a must and a
good night’s sleep is very important,”
concludes Anne. Please call her at 972 407-

ogging lots of miles may be good for
your legs, but when the produce you
eat travels an average of 1,300 miles
to get from the farm to your table, important
nutrients get lost along the way.
Fortunately, warm weather brings an easy
solution. Your local farmer’s market offers
produce, meats, and dairy products that are
often organic and have likely been harvested
in the last 24 hours, so they reach your table
32
at the peak of freshness, flavor and nutrient
content. Getting these nutritional
powerhouses onto your plate has never been
easier, as the USDA reports that the number
of farmer’s markets had more than doubled
in the past 10 years, with nearly 4,000
operating across the country today. (To find
markets, farm stands, and small-scale
farmers in your area, visit foodroutes.org.)
Organic fruits and vegetables from a farm
by
Leanne
Harris
near you can contain up to 59% higher levels
of antioxidants ~ plant chemicals that help
fight disease ~ than their conventionally
grown counterparts, according to a study
published in the journal Agriculture and
Food Chemistry.
Most of us are living a pretty busy and fast-
paced lifestyle these days and don’t have
much time to shop the farmer’s market and
then prepare the meals several times a day,
even though we would like to.
Whole-food products are a great solution
to the quandary of convenience and good
nutrition. The products I am speaking of use
17 of the most powerful fruits, vegetables
and grains and 7 berries full of antioxidants,
and dehydrate them into a powder. This
powder is put into capsules or gummies.
This is the most researched nutraceutical in
the world. The ease of being able to take
your chemical/pesticide-free fruits and
veggies with you wherever you go, for ¼ of
the price, is very appealing!
It is next to impossible to get in the daily
requirement of 9-13 fruits and vegetables a
day. If you could accomplish this, it would
cost anywhere from $6 to $10 daily to buy
organic produce. Juicing can be very time
consuming and costly as well.
I think the whole-food concept is the
perfect solution! To learn more about this:

Here is an excellent example of how the highest quality compounding phar-
macies serve our communities. From a wellness point of view, NSAIDs are
not a product of first choice, but this wellness-oriented pharmacy provides
practical ways for the community at large, especially the elderly, to more effec-
tively address their physical problems with much lower risk and side-effects.
Note all the advantages of custom-compounded topical products.
Compounding pharmacies are under constant attack by Big Pharma and
other entities. Let’s support all of the quality compounding pharmacies in this

O
ral non-steroidal anti-inflammatory
drugs (NSAIDs) are among the
most commonly prescribed
medications and are widely prescribed to
relieve pain and inflammation associated
with rheumatic disease such as arthritis.
NSAIDs are responsible for
approximately one-quarter of all adverse
drug reaction reports, and approximately
one in six patients experience
gastrointestinal or stomach irritation.
Because patients who take NSAIDs on a
regular basis are often older, many are at
increased risk for serious gastrointestinal
(GI) complications. Studies report the
benefits of NSAIDs for treatment of
musculoskeletal and soft-tissue injuries as
well as rheumatic diseases.
Research and clinical experience provide
clear evidence that topical NSAIDs are
effective analgesics and may be
administered in various dosage forms,
including gels or sprays, to treat soft-tissue
injuries.
Topical administration of NSAIDs offers
the advantage of local, enhanced drug
delivery to affected tissues with a reduced
incidence of systemic side effects, such as
peptic ulcer disease and GI hemorrhage.
NSAIDs applied topically also reach the
synovial (joint) fluid. The goal of using
topical NSAIDs is to achieve high tissue
levels beneath the site of application (such
as the knee or elbow), resulting in relief of
pain and inflammation, while minimizing
the amount of systemic absorption and risk
of side effects.
Topical administration produces systemic
blood levels that are only 15% of those
achieved when the same dose is taken orally,
yet tissue concentrations below the
application site have been found to be one
hundred times higher with topical
administration versus oral administration.
Product formulation may have a
dramatic impact not only on absorption
rates, but also on penetration depth, and if
inactive ingredients used in a gel or cream
base are not properly selected, they can be
irritating to the skin.
It is important that practitioners and
patients select a compounding pharmacy
with state-of-the-art equipment and properly
trained personnel that utilize the highest
grade of chemicals.
