Here is this week’s social media roundup, including one of my new favorite traditions: looking back at all of the testimonials we have had at The Drugless Doctors throughout the year. If you would like to add you name to the board, come and visit us either in Cleveland or Naples, Florida. I know, you’ll be glad you did!

This has been our best year yet at The Drugless Doctors: I celebrated 40 years in practice, and thousands of practice members saw health improvement without prescribing medication.⁣

No matter where you are in the world, we would love to help you too!

In this week’s “What Can I Do For” I share how to help high blood pressure. For more info, visit this link for the $1 chapter download.

Your body requires oil to function and there are two critical oils your body cannot make on its own, called essential fatty acids. ⁣
⁣
Clinical-based evidence from diet-journaling suggests we get more than enough of the omega-6 fats from snack foods. ⁣
⁣
One thing you can do today would be to limit the “healthy” expeller pressed oils such as safflower and sunflower, since they can create an imbalance when too much is consumed.

Here is some food for thought today!

If you have been following me for a time, you know optimal health is about cleaning up your liver.

For more info, visit here for the “Importance of Optimal Liver Function” from my “Drugless Guide to Balancing Female Hormones” chapter.

One question we always get, either here on social media or at our practice is, “Is breast thermography safe?” Dr. Casen shares how and why it is.

Today is World Mental Health Day, and we created this special video to help show how chiropractic and drugless care can help you on your road to optimal health. Please share with anyone who you know can benefit.

Mental Health and Your Brain

What is mental health?  Defined by WHO as a state of well-being, in which every individual realizes his or her own potential, can cope with the normal stresses of life, can work productively and fruitfully, and is able to make a contribution to her or his community.

Why are we, as Chiropractors, talking about mental health?  Brain & Nervous System – Current research is showing that chiropractic care alone can increase brain function by 20-50%.

How does someone’s mental health impact their body and current state of health?  Humans are the only animals who regularly experience a stress response without an actual stressor present.

1. Common conditions include: depression, anxiety, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), drug addiction, worry, social anxiety, phobias, and panic attacks.
2. Research: Alzheimer’s and Dementia have been linked to high aluminum levels in the brain.
3. Aluminum comes from: soil, water, air, foods, drugs, deodorants, cosmetic products, and toothpastes. You may also find it in aluminum products, including: containers, foils, and cooking tools.
4. Traditional medical approach for mental health include: medications or therapy.

The Drugless Doctors approach: What can we do about these items from a natural perspective?

EFA Bloodspot test, lab work, zinc taste test, pH test, and hair mineral analysis; to name a few.

The Brain Diet; A good diet = A happy brain.

1. Stable source of energy: protein. (The brain uses roughly 20% of your energy, but is only about 2% of your body weight.)
2. Nutrients: nourishing food (green leafy vegetables, and a rainbow and variety of vegetables)
3. Antioxidants: reduce oxidation; keep the brain “clean”
4. EFA’S: protect the brain, decrease inflammation, and transmit messages
5. Water: drink ½ your bodyweight in ounces everyday (the brain is 78%water), thirsty = dull
6. Avoid: sugar, wheat, and soy (it takes minerals and zinc out of the body)
7. Get involved: don’t isolate yourself- BROGA, relationships, and social activities
8. Exercise!

Nutritional support for brain:

o   Coconut Oil

o   Vitamin D-Mulsion: Immune support, take 2-3 drops on tongue until April

o   Essential Fatty Acids: Optimal EFAs for brain support, take 3 capsules/day or 1 teaspoon/day

o   Li-Zyme Forte: a vegetable based lithium for mental stress and depression, 3 tablets, 3x/day

o   Bio-B Complex: B vitamins for stress, take 1-3 tablets/day with meals

o   Celtic Sea Salt: minerals get depleted during stress, use liberally

Let’s jump right into my past week in social media with my new “What Can I Do For” – this week on headaches.

In this “What Can I Do For,” I am talking about one of the biggest reason people come to visit The Drugless Doctors: headaches.

Say “Yes” to 🍎 🥕 🥑 🥦 ⁣
⁣
Say “No” to 🍟 🥜 🍭 🍩 ⁣

For #BreastCancerAwareness, I want to make sure you have all of the info you need to know to make steps to PREVENT breast cancer before it starts. This includes adding iodine.

For more information, I have included the link to my “Drugless Guide to Balancing Female Hormones,” which now includes individual chapter downloads. Enjoy!

This month is also recognized as #NonGMO month. Skeptics often say that foods derived from GMO seeds, most common in soy, but also in canola oil, corn, and other grains don’t have an effect on your health, but after reviewing many exams of practice members at The Drugless Doctors, we have seen that your digestion is indeed impacted from GMO consumption. ⁣
⁣
One thing you can do today while grocery shopping is to look for the “Non-GMO Verified” label.⁣

Each month on the last Wednesday, I host a Facebook Live covering a wide variety of health topics. October is the month that is generally set aside for breast cancer awareness, but we decided to have our FB Live about women’s health in September so you can begin to make these changes sooner.

In this video, I am sharing about breast thermography, which returns to our practice in both Westlake and Naples in October and November, plus, what you can do for a fatty liver, and other women’s health-related concerns.

Please feel free to pass this video along and then join us for our next Facebook Live which will be a special FB Live on October 10th for World Mental Health Day.

These were the questions that were asked in this episode of #AskDrBob. Click the blue box to watch the video. Thank you for sending us your general health questions. We hope they make a difference in your life.

1. I want to know more about acid reflux, my husband is having problem and the purple pill doesn’t help any more. Thank you!

Watch your food combinations (chicken and potato). Green vegetables with animal protein is optimal. Also, limit your water consumption with meals. Lastly, consider a digestive enzyme prior to the meal.

2. Any thoughts on hypoglycemia ???

The best way to avoid, is to stay away from sugar, this includes sweet fruits. Start your day with a protein or an avocado (fat). (Eggs, almond butter, chicken thigh are good breakfast foods).

3. What causes cold sores or fever blisters on the lips?

Always a lack of calcium, and sometimes vitamin D.

4. How can I prevent getting sick over the Thanksgiving and Christmas Season?

Two things: Minimal sugar and get sleep.

5. I keep losing my balance. I was diagnosed to have “vertigo”, what would I eat to get my balance back? My BP is also high most of the time.

Minerals are important (Celtic Sea Salt), you can also have misalignment in your neck. (More info in video).

My Thanksgiving Recipes!

These were the questions that were asked in this episode of #AskDrBob. Click the blue box to watch the video. Thank you for sending us your general health questions. We hope they make a difference in your life.

1. My 10 year old daughter has been suffering from migraines for almost 2 years- we have not been able to identify any patterns or triggers- her MRI was fine- she takes magnesium daily and half doses of two prescriptions as the side effects are too great for a full dose- she was adopted as a baby and we have no family history- since September she has missed 15 days of school- she feels weakness in her limbs and having heart palpitations and has on and off nausea.

I encourage to limit sugar and no soy. Think about adding dandelion root and peppermint leaf. It will help purify liver function. Also add ½ red apple and ⅓ cup of beet fiber per day. Lastly, I suggest visiting a chiropractor.

2. I am 41 and been having shorter menstrual cycles meaning month to month. It has been happening for a few years now right after I had my last pap. Is there a hormone, blood test, supplement or something I can have to help them go back to every 30 days. I have tried Iodine, but makes my hypothyroid worse – I take Armour thyroid now. My mother was 51 when she went through menopause. Thank you so much for your time.

Have your iodine level checked, and TSH checked. I want to see the number at two. (More info in video).

3. I am retaining a lot of water, especially round my ankles and feet, how can I get rid of the water, without taking doctors tbs (drugs) I do not do those things, would rather take something natural. It is worse during the hot days.

It can be your kidney or heart. Vitamin B will help your heart, and parsley will help your kidneys. Increase your Celtic Sea Salt and water (reverse osmosis is best).

4. When I was diagnosed with Polymyositis, I went on Prednisone in order to have mobility. However, I’m trying to get off it – I’m down to 7 mg/day. But the lower I get, the more my body hurts and doesn’t move as well. Is there a natural alternative to Prednisone that I could take that would do the same thing, or even better? Prednisone also gives me horrible nausea which is difficult to deal with each day. I know that Prednisone affects the adrenals so tapering slowly is crucial. There has to be an alternative that can help me but not cause these nasty side effects.

Eliminate citrus and sugar (both cause pain). You can also find more information in my new GTK pH.
