Hi Everyone,
I had a great conversation with a patient yesterday. They reminded me of the importance of vitamin D and its role in inflammation.
He mentioned he read an article on vitamin D levels and the amount of healing – reduced inflammation taking place with inflammatory bowel conditions.

Chiropractic started as a healing treatment that allowed your body to heal itself. The goal was 
nervous stimulation from the spinal treatment would allow faster healing.
Today, we need a little extra help. We have more of everything, and not all of it is good.
Pollutants – chemicals and metals
Stress – affecting our hormone balance and energy.
Diet – we simply cannot meet nutritional demands with diet alone with our high energy days.
It’s a question of what came first the chicken or the egg? And this is where the detective part comes to play.
Chiropractic works wonderful for inflammation relief. But what caused the inflammation?
Mechanical – my back is stuck.
Environmental pollutants – causing intestinal inflammation referring to the back?

Low estrogen causing joint inflammation in my back or other joints?

It’s a TO DO list so we don’t fall apart before our time is up.
* Vitamin D levels with a blood test – you need to know the number for optimal health.
* Urine testing for chemicals in your body – are they leaving?
* Toxic Metal testing – all of us are exposed. Aluminum, arsenic, lead, and mercury are they leaving like they are supposed to?
* Hormone levels are they where they should be based on your age?
How do you know the chemicals, metals, are leaving? The nutrients we take in are they getting into the cells to work like they should? These two tests will tell you.
Omega 3 and 6 oil concentrations. This allows the cell to release stored toxins.
And, First morning’s urine pH. When the litmus paper turns dark green you have enough cell energy to move bad stuff out and nutrients are coming in the cell properly.
If you have questions, I’m happy for 15 minute talk to find a direction that would help you.
