DIET: PUMPKIN SEED OIL CAN REDUCE YOUR RISK OF STROKE as well as decrease inflammation, a precursor for more serious diseases. Another potent anti-inflammatory is coriander oil, made from the seeds of an herb native to Asia and parts of Europe. The tart flavor of the seeds makes them a popular addition to curries and pickles, however it is their antioxidant... anti-bacterial... and anti-fungal properties that help boost the function of your liver, spleen, pancreas, and digestive system. Sesame seeds also protect and support your internal organs, namely the liver and the kidneys. Testing reveals the seeds contain sesamin and sesamolin, two unique varieties of lignans, substances known to reduce cholesterol and prevent high blood pressure
WELLNESS: SPECIALLY TINTED GLASSES HELP DYSLEXIA PATIENTS READ As millions of American children return to the classroom, only time will tell who will make the grade this school year. However, the reality is one in five students may be struggling with a language-based learning disability like dyslexia, which may only become evident with failing grades and missed homework assignments. Adam Banks, 38, suffered from dyslexia for as long as he can remember. “The letters would sort of dance, and I would sort of see the patterns of the space between the letters and the paragraphs,” said Banks. “The speed of transmission of the image between the two eyes is slightly different,” said Dr. Morris Shamah, an ophthalmologist at Eye Care & Surgery Center in Brooklyn, N.Y. ChromaGen lenses help dyslexic patients see words and texts more clearly and read faster. Originally developed to treat color blindness, ChromaGen lenses reduce the visual distortions seen by dyslexic patients by altering the wavelength of light that reaches their eyes. (918) 333-9292
CHIROPRACTIC: THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN POSTURE AND HEALTH Roger Sperry,Ph.D. (Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine 1981) discovered that 90% of the brain’s activity is used to balance your body within the gravitational field of earth. If your body is mechanically distorted, it will affect the other 10% of the brain's activity, which controls all the other body functions such as breathing, digestion and cognition. If the body framework (bone structure and spine) is misaligned it can impede or block the electrical and chemical transmissions of the nervous system, which controls all of your body's functions. This interference to the nervous system can cause or contribute to all kinds of symptoms and illnesses (in other words, the feeling that "I am hurting or I am sick"). Published research studies indicate that when body balance is restored, the body enters a healing cycle that alleviates pain and symptoms, elevates the immune system, increases blood and oxygen circulation, normalizes nervous system communication and creates more optimum body performance ("I feel good again").
