Another Young Person Dies…
March 10, 2010
Corey Haim only 38 years young, dead today. I am so saddened by all these multiple deaths of young people in the past few years, it’s so senseless and unnecessary.
In our culture of pill takers, we often search for the magic pill or potion to heal us. Because most of us learn this at a very early age ( sometimes even unknowingly i.e. TV), when something physically hurts, we look for an outside pill, lotion, potion or cure. It follows that when we experience great emotional pain that we also would look for something external to make the pain go away. Corey Haim started as a crack/cocaine addict and only became addicted to pain medications after a stint in rehab. It was the prescription drugs – reportedly up to 85 pills a day-that killed him.
Careful, take only when there are NO other options.
Did you know that more people are killed every year from prescription drugs than street drugs? More than AIDS and breast cancer COMBINED!
What can YOU do?
1. Think before taking/starting a medication. Is this necessary? Are there alternatives? What would the worst outcome be if I didn’t take it? Ask your practitioner these questions if you don’t know. Then get a second opinion from another provider. It becomes a slippery slope once the medicating takes place. This is something we need to take extremely seriously.
2. Talk with your kids about healing coming from the inside, and not from anything we put into our bodies. Our bodies have an incredible innate healing force that is constantly moving towards better health-tap into yours, reduce stress and focus on a healthy lifestyle.
3. Have an alternative care practitioner as your primary care doctor. Recent studies have shown that you’ll need FAR less medication, hospital stays are reduced, and you’ll be saving a BOATLOAD of money!
If there is any way we can help you or a family member by showing a different way to progress health and stop the medicating madness, please call us -we are here to help!!
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??
How can we help you achieve the life you deserve??
