-          Increase amount of calcium deposits from acidic blood chemistry and culmulative adhesions from unattended micro-traumas

-          Increase level of dehydration

-          Increase of fatty, collagenous fibers in muscle

Change THINKING for PAIN RELIEF!

by Olivia Chang
on July 16, 2014

Thoughts La Jolla best chiropractic and massage are not intangible clouds that appear over cartoon characters. They are very much tangible, triggering the body to produce neuro-electrical biochemicals (serotonin, dopamine, epinephrine, etc...) that flow down a path of connected nerve cells to create emotions which relate to those thoughts. They actually occupy a space in our brain through neurons (nerve cells) and explain why we call them thought patterns (created by nerve pathways).

In our office, we observe that slow healing injuries are usually due to:

  • toxic thoughts & mental/emotional overload,
  • imbalanced diet causing acidic chemistry and malnutrition,
  • sedentary lifestyle, or
  • any combination of the 3
Every thought causes an action or reaction...

Natural support for H. Pylori infections & Stomach Ulcers

by Olivia Chang
on June 18, 2014

H. Pylori (Helicobacter Pylori) is a bacteria linked to gastrointestinal ulcers, gastritis, indigestion and stomach infection.This silent but aggressive infection, when untreated, can contribute to stomach cancer. Due to its aggressive nature, when improperly treated, it often recurs.It is commonly treated by antibiotics.However, some are resistant to such therapy and will need prolonged and combined antibiotics to ensure success.A few of the secondary side effects of prolonged antibiotic therapy are yeast infection and a weakened immune system.There are some natural alternatives that we’ve used successfully in our clinical practice.In addition to dietary changes, we use Mastica (Allergy Research Group), Bio-HPF (Biotics Research), and Original Medicine’s probiotics - S. Boulardii and Multi Probiotics (available to our VIP customers).

DCH avocado oil-best-sm
Forget the ridiculous high priced, skin pore clogging, toxic chemicals found in the cosmetic counters of departmental stores!  As the cosmetic industry is not health regulated, it becomes a dangerous dispenser of self-proclaimed collagen-building, wrinkle-ridding miracle beauty maker.  A natural health doctor who specializes in helping patients fight stage 4 cancers (what is termed as 'terminal') once told me that these expensive, unregulated products that women put on their skin (which is then absorbed into their bloodstream) are causing the bulk of the cancers that he's treating.

Now the that flu season is over, you might want to consider building your body back up so it’s less susceptible to common ailments that slow us down, ie colds, low energy, sprained joints, insomnia, etc…  A good baseline is to keep your body alkaline by:

  • increasing vegetable intake (you can’t eat too much),
  • drinking spring water with minerals in tact, and
  • decreasing acidic foods such as meats and fats.

Debunking Colds and Flus... Naturally

on January 09, 2013

ABC News recently reported “Earliest Flu Season in a Decade” (http://abc.go.com/watch/world-news-with-diane-sawyer/SH5585921/VD55261438/world-news-13-earliest-flu-season-in-a-decade).  The same time last year, only 79 people were reported with the flu – this year so far, 790.  In New York, it went from 84 to 3975 and Massachussetts, from 126 to 3736!

Looking at these numbers is enough to strike fear, especially since we’re surrounded by many sniffling and coughing around us.  Well, that is if you believe it’s normal to experience regular colds and flus, and if you believe erroneously that you can ‘catch’ a cold or bug.  The fact is, if your body is functioning in an alkaline environment, is well rested and fed with proper nutrition, the bad bugs cannot thrive in your body. Zippo! Not possible!  It’s like trying to grow a grass in the dessert!  Your body cannot catch it!  The below recommendations are guaranteed to work!  I’ve tested it myself and with patients over 20 years.  Many have high risk exposure like traveling a lot or working in a hospital environment.
