How Could A Taser Gun Relate To Chiropractic?
March 12, 2010
I see chiropractic everywhere! I even saw it during a show called Fight Science on National Geographic. Last night, the show was demonstrating how taser guns work to immobilize their targets. ( I would have used the word “victim”) Normally I am very disturbed by these kinds of shows and immediately turn the channel, but something told me to stay tuned….
Extreme Interference
Two incredible things the show pointed out:
1. Interference to the nervous system. The taser gun “interferes with the electrical current between the brain and the muscles” This is an example of EXTREME interference, what if you had just a little interference, could that lead to a muscle that just won’t relax? A liver functioning only at 50%? Digestion and absorption of nutrients at 60%?
2. The brain is the master control system! “Without the brain telling the muscles what to do , they STOP WORKING, and the person is IMMOBILIZED” The brain controls it all! You can live 30 days without food, 3 days without water 3minutes without air but not even 3 seconds without a brain activity and a nerve supply!
Do you have interference in your nervous system? How would you know? The only way to know for sure is to be evaluated by a Doctor of Chiropractic . Call us at 408-979-9999 to find out how you can be healthier and happier functioning without interference!
Get That Ostrich’s Head Out Of The Sand!
March 4, 2010
If you are the ostrich, why not challenge yourself to see health and longevity differently?
Embrace your innate potential. Do you have a parent or great grandparent that lived to 80, 90 or 100 years old? Whether you like it or not, this is your innate, genetic potential. Your children and grandchildren share your genes as well, so become excited about your longevity and make the lifestyle changes now to ensure your health and vitality for a lifetime.
You'll be glad you pulled your head out of the sand!
Remove interference. Your mind and body will break down when there is interference in your nervous system. Just like a car accident will interfere with the flow of traffic, interference to your in your nervous system will cause dis-ease in your body which can lead to pain, sickness and even chronic disease. Sometimes you will have symptoms and sometimes you won’t. Don’t wait for the symptoms, the crisis, to remove this interference. That’s what an ostrich would do. Stay healthy by keeping this interference out of your spine and your lifestyle, regardless of how you feel.
Build a Health Care Team. Crisis care teams and health care team are different. While there may be some overlap, many people surround themselves with a crisis care team only and they never look to maximize their innate, genetic potential. Can you imagine waking up well rested, feeling great, with lots of energy and making the most of every day because your mind and your body were functioning at their highest level? This is what your health care team and Lifestyle Care will help you achieve.
We are excited to be a part of that team for you and your family. If you have an ostrich in your life, please send them to our office for an appointment. We would be honored to help them get their head out of the sand.
Do You Have An Ostrich In YOUR Family?
March 4, 2010
Have you ever seen a picture of an ostrich with its head buried in the sand? This is one of the funniest scenes in nature and is a great metaphor to describe individuals who have a crisis care mentality about their health. This means that they only take care of themselves when they get sick, diagnosed with a disease or are in excruciating pain. This is not a good idea.
Is this someone you know?
If you want to live an active, healthy long life, it’s time to redefine crisis. Here are earlier signs that you or your loved ones are in crisis:
- You take over the counter drugs on a monthly basis
- You have taken prescription drugs consistently for more than three months
- You have altered your life due to a health concern
- You constantly try to pop your neck and back or are fidgety
- You cannot exercise
- You take medication to offset the side effects of other medications
- You experience irregular sleep patterns
- You are susceptible to colds and the flu
- You say things like, “I need to go to the doctor” or “I need to take a pill” often
- You have difficulty standing or sitting up straight
Many seniors and centenarians are suffering the consequences of their “if it ain’t broke don’t fix it”, ostrich-like attitudes. We’re getting the advance notice that our parents and grandparents never received.
These concepts will help you think differently about health and pull your head out of the sand:
If you have an ostrich in your family, help them by sending them this article and letting them know there is another way to view their health!
More Energy and Happier too!
February 15, 2010
Here’s a great story from one of our practice members who came in for a complaint and found other “side effects” from being under chiropractic care!
When I first went to visit them late last year, my neck and upper back were constantly stiff and I only sought relief from that condition. What I received was not only more flexibility and relief, but a gradual increase in mood and energy. It was subtle and it wasn’t until about 6-9 weeks that I realized it, but when I did it was wonderful!
Additionally my husband had chronic pain between his shoulder blades and under the care of Drs. Rozehnart, the pain and discomfort disappeared. Even my 25-year-old son experienced greater range of motion and an overall sense of well-being after only a few visits!
Their open, honest and caring practice truly embodies the spirit of aloha and I can’t recommend them highly enough.
You don’t have to live with discomfort. Get relief. Call them today. you’ll be glad you did. *:-)”

How About A Cleanse to Start The Year Off Right?
January 4, 2010
As most of you know, I can’t stand the word “diet” for many reasons. We all know the joke that diet is the word “die” with a “t”, but the main reason the word is useless at best, is that it implies a temporary time to deprive yourself of something. I prefer using lifestyle nutrition instead. Start by thinking of food as what FUELS each and every function your body!
Don't these look yummy!!
Why cleanse? It gives your body a much needed chance to detoxify after the holidays and regain some balance. It also gives your digestive system time to “rest”.
There are many fasts and cleanses but when I came across this one, I thought it to be balanced and easy enough that most of you could follow it and have some great benefits! One side note- I would omit the coffee as a water substitute and stick to water and tea if you want something warm.

The Global Effects Of Subluxation Part 3
November 30, 2009
If you missed parts 1 and 2 read them first….
Here is the one of the biggest reasons why you and your family need to include chiropractic care as a part of your healthy, 100 year lifestyle!
5. An Early Unnecessary Demise: In 1994 Dr. Lee authored a lengthy article that postulates that the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) is involved in all disease processes and explains that causes and cures of all diseases are mediated by our central nervous system. Everyone must be checked on a routine basis for neurological interference caused by subluxations at a lifestyle chiropractic office if they desire to stay healthy. Another study reveals that subluxations negatively effect the visceral (organ) input centers and output centers in your brain stem. This indicates that almost any subluxation at any level may result in almost any kind of health challenge. Finally, the autopsies performed by Dr. Windsor M.D. correlated that nearly 100% of diseases these animals suffered from were related to a curvature in the spine or a spinal problem that damaged the nerve that supplied that specific organ.
Is this different from what you thought chiropractic care was all about??

Sickness Season or Healthy Season??
November 27, 2009
Each autumn millions of children and adults come down with a cold, the flu or an ear infection. Yet misconceptions often result in inappropriate treatment.
Colds and Flu: Both the common cold and influenza are caused by viruses, so medical treatment is rarely necessary. Influenza is like a cold, but may include fever, body aches, chills and extreme fatigue. Stomach flu which causes vomiting is often a case of mild food poisoning.
According to an article in the February 2003 issue of Pediatrics, colds accounted for 1.6 million emergency room visits and 25 million ambulatory visits in 1998. In response to the widespread misconception that medical intervention is helpful, the American Academy of Pediatrics issued some common sense advice to parents:
- Avoid antibiotics which have no effect on viruses.
- Don’t use over-the-counter cold or cough medications since most will not work.
- Don’t use aspirin if a child has a fever since it can cause a serious reaction called Reye’s syndrome.
Annual flu vaccines are available, but their benefit is extremely questionable. Vaccine experts must decide which flu varieties will be the biggest threats 9-12 months in advance. Since flu viruses mutate constantly, it is nearly impossible to include the right strains in the vaccine.
The Swine Flu is causing recent concern. According to the September 8, 2009 Wall Street Journal, the CDC now advocates “watchful waiting” as an option. “The majority of adolescents and adults and most children won’t need antivirals,” said the CDC’s director of the National Center for Immunization & Respiratory Diseases, Anne Schuchat. Most people just need “mom’s chicken soup, rest and lots of fluids.”
Ear Infections: Typically affecting young children, ear infections may be caused by viruses or bacteria. The Southern California/RAND Evidence-based Practice Center analyzed clinical studies conducted from 1964 through 1998, sponsored by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality. It estimates that over 5 million cases of acute otitis media (AOM) occur each year in the US at a cost of approximately $3 billion.
The studies showed that without antibiotics, nearly two-thirds of children recover from pain and fever within 24 hours of diagnosis and over 80% recover fully within seven days. In the May 2004 issue of Pediatrics, the American Academy of Pediatrics issued new guidelines, recommending observation in many cases instead of antibiotics. Several studies have shown that chiropractic care benefits children with recurrent ear infections, such as the one conducted by Drs. Fallon and Edelman and described in the March 1998 edition of Alternative Therapies.
Remedies and Prevention: So what should you do when you come down with a cold, the flu or an ear infection? Get plenty of sleep, drink lots of fluids, and eat healthy food. In addition be sure to get adjusted regularly and especially if you are sick. Your nervous system directly controls your immune system, and spinal subluxations can interfere with the communication between the nervous system and the immune system. Chiropractic care will remove this interference so your body can maximize its immune system response and keep you as healthy as possible.
Thomas Edison said, “The doctor of the future will give no medicine, but will interest his patients in the care of the human frame, in diet, and in the cause and prevention of disease.” Good advice for us to follow.
