IN THE NEWS: Opioid Addiction Now Surpasses Smoking More Americans now use prescription opioids than smoke cigarettes. Substance abuse has also eclipsed cancer in terms of prevalence, and costs the U.S. more than the treatment of diabetes, Opiates such as oxycodone, hydrocodone, fentanyl and morphine are killing more Americans than car crashes, claiming the lives of more than 49,700 Americans in 2014. In 2015, 27 million Americans used illegal drugs and/or misused prescription drugs, and nearly one-quarter of all adolescents and adults reported binge drinking in the previous month.

WELLNESS: Health Benefits of Jackfruit Jackfruit is a nutritional bonanza: it is rich in vitamins, minerals and dietary fiber, which makes it a good natural laxative. It can also benefit those who want to lose or maintain their weight by giving a feeling of fullness. Jackfruit is also known to contain significant amounts of vitamin A and flavonoid pigments (carotene-ß, xanthin, lutein and cryptoxanthin-ß), offering antioxidant and vision support. The enigmatic fruit is rich in B-complex vitamins, containing niacin, pyridoxine, riboflavin and folic acid. It is a viable source of minerals, such as iron, magnesium, potassium and manganese as well. As a good source of vitamin C — also a powerful antioxidant.

CHIROPRACTIC: As primary care physicians I've been in practice for over 40 years and I have a number of patients who has never seen another type of Doctor other than me. You have to understand that chiropractors don't set broken bones, sews you up after a serious cut or deal with life-threatening emergency situations that are best treated in the hospital setting. But other than those few exceptions chiropractic and natural healthcare has approaches that are, in a lot of cases, far superior than the medical approach. We offer natural antibiotics, antiviral and anti-yeast products that have virtually no side effects. We offer effective care for type II diabetes most hormone conditions, skin conditions, respiratory conditions, allergies, etc. chiropractic and natural healthcare has effective tools for improving your health. Think chiropractic/natural healthcare first, drugs second and surgery last.

FUNNY BONE: How did I escape Iraq? Iran.@@ I can't believe I got fired from the calendar factory. All I did was take a day off.@@ I'm glad I know sign language, it's pretty handy.@@ Did you hear about the guy who got hit in the head with a can of soda? He was lucky it was a soft drink.@@ A bus station is where a bus stops. A train station is where a train stops. On my desk, I have a work station..@@ A garage sale is actually a Garbage sale but the "b" is silent.@@ I saw an ad for burial plots, and thought to myself this is the last thing I need.
