Salt and Heart Health – Know what you are eating and what is in your prepackaged food

Posted on by bill
I read an article that was reprinted in the Star Ledger today from Bloomberg News (http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2010-06-24/potato-chips-help-drive-up-salt-intake-for-most-american-adults-cdc-says.html) regarding problems in the american diet.  The Centers For Disease Control is sharing their concerns about food and the amount of sodium used in it.  Many junk foods such as potato chips are laden with salt, way to much for our bodies needs.  More salt means more electrolytes which means your body will retain water which means it can have an effect on blood pressure.  Many of the pre packaged foods we eat are flavor deficient and salt is used to get them to Read More »

Expanding Chiropractic Services Under Medicare – The Effective Truth

Chiropractic was hastily added to the Medicare program in the 1970’s with the inclusion of spinal manipulation only.  Our patients know that manipulation without working the muscles of the body which attach to them is often of minimal benefit however, politics has so far prevented full inclusion as it did in the 70’s.

I had the pleasure of being the medical staff of a USATF NJ  track and field meet at the Toms River bubble.  I helped quite a few athletes today, some of which are world class.  Where do world class athletes go after they did the olymipcs?  They are often found doing events just like these in NJ and other states.  I worked with athletes from as far away as Maryland and from the tri state area.  Above is a photo as a 200 yard sprint began.  Here is a long jump that was done at todays meet as well.  Many Read More »

Health Care Reform, what is wrong with this picture

Posted on by bill
Health care reform was attempted by President Clinton and we know how that went.  Along comes a new president who believes he has the conviction and the management style to get it done finally.  I applaud him for this however there are problems that the current reforms fail to address. 1. Our current system is a monopoly with a drug biased ideology. It is based heavily on Allopathy which is very symptom based. In many areas of the world, there are many types of health care providers who feed the system, both drug and non drug based.  In our country, Read More »
