Natural Ways to Relieve Your Pain

Just like there are dozens of pain pills on the store shelves there are dozens of natural ways to relieve your pain. But pain relief is one thing and correcting the cause is another. If I want pain relief, I'm NOT going to take a pain pill. Why? Even though they are inexpensive and cheap they are chemical based and have side effects. Most people won't get side effects at first but with time they start to happen. Like an irritated stomach... the beginning of a stomach ulcer. High blood pressure.....then you go to the doctor and he prescribes another pill for that. Ran into a guy at Walgreens that I had met playing tennis a couple years ago. He was buying ...you guessed it...pain pills. His reasoning was..."i don't take them every day." And I told him that was safer but that the danger was in taking them for 10-!5-20 years. He looked at me like a deer caught in the headlights. I went on to explain the many natural ways to achieve pain relief. He put the bottle back on the shelf shook my hand and thanked me. What do you do for pain? ‪#‎healthcoachtips‬, ‪#‎painrelief‬, ‪#‎headaches‬,‪#‎migraines‬, ‪#‎neckpain‬

What Car Crash Victims Should Know

I met the owner of a restaurant today and in talking with him he told me he had a car accident several months ago. Allstate sent him a check for $250 with a full release of any future liability. How nice is that??? They laughed the whole time because this uneducated man about these types of things had no idea what his rights were and do you think Allstate was going to tell him. Not a chance. Sadly his neck still bothers him but isn't it interesting how I end up going to his place and meeting him. Lucky for him I will be able to get rid of that nagging neck pain. If you get in a car crash no matter how minor you think it is, call me ASAP!!!

What Is Your Health Worth?

What is your Health worth? Is that cigarette, doughnut or booze more important than your health and your family? Isn't it time you made a decision and made your Health the number One Priority in your life? Don't you want to be around to see your children grow up and see your grandchildren? What motivates you? The fear of getting a heart attack or cancer? Or the pleasure of having good health being around for a long time in good health? ‪#‎healthcoachtips‬, ‪#‎chiropractic‬, ‪#‎motivation‬, ‪#‎wellness‬

Healthcare Reform for 2010- The Self Care Wellness Revolution by Dr. Gonzalez

9/3/2013

0 Comments

As a Doctor of Chiropractic, I am going to discuss several areas of concern of our present healthcare system. I’m also going to reveal new trends in healthcare and why Alternative Medicine is being embraced by millions of Americans.

According to the Life Association News, Americans paid $13.7 billion dollars for visits to alternative medical practitioners in 1990. More than half or $10.3 billion was paid out of pocket.

In 1993, 1 in 3 persons made 425 million visits to alternative practitioners, exceeding the number of visits to primary care physicians. Those numbers continue to grow every year.

In a recent study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, by 1997 Americans made 628 million visits to alternative health-care practitioners. They were spending more than $30 billion of their own money on complementary and alternative therapies each year. Nearly half of those visits were to Chiropractors and Massage Therapists.

Nine out of 10 members who have used alternative or complementary medicine would use it again. 80% would recommend it to others according to the Consumers’ Association. 75% of patients surveyed after treatment report “greatly improved”, and 67% reported “improved” or “slightly improved”, 88% reported they still experienced improvements after 10 weeks as reported by Stephen Fulder in The Handbook for Complementary Medicine.

What this means is that Americans are looking for alternatives. They are fed up with what medical healthcare offers. Unfortunately, medical students are only trained to examine, diagnose then prescribe. And if those prescription drugs don’t work they are trained to prescribe different drugs. And if those pills don’t work still you will get more drugs. Too many times the next option would be injections and then surgery. It would be good for patients if more medical doctors referred to alternative healthcare practitioners.

Please don’t get me wrong. I’m not completely against the use of prescription drugs or surgeries. Some times those drugs and surgeries can save lives. But much has been written about the overuse and abuse of prescription drugs and needless surgeries.

I know from firsthand experience. I suffered from a motorcycle accident where I had a fractured shoulder blade and was told I needed surgery while in the emergency room at a local hospital. Being a Doctor of Chiropractic, I knew I did not need surgery and therefore refused and did not allow the doctors to operate. They were not happy with me to say the least. I cost the hospital several thousand dollars. The average person would have accepted what the doctors said and they would have ended up with a needless surgery.

On another occasion, I was involved in a bad car crash. I ended up having torn cartilage (meniscus) in my left knee after it slammed into the dashboard. I used magnetic therapy to heal my knee and prevented another surgery.

It is critical for you to become your own healthcare advocate. Read self care books, search on the internet and find a holistic practitioner who will find real solutions to your health problems. If you do not have a holistic medical doctor, chiropractor, naturopath or acupuncturist, I highly recommend you start looking. One of my favorite sayings is, “You don’t know what you are missing until you know what you have been missing”.

Discovery Health airs a program called Mystery Diagnosis. Patients may go for years bouncing from doctor to doctor and prescription drugs to more prescription drugs while the patients’ health continues to deteriorate. Eventually some doctor may really listen to the patient or recall a similar case and then the right diagnosis is finally made.

There are numerous books and websites warning the public of the dangers of the medical system and how hospital, doctor and prescription drug errors are now the fourth leading cause of death in the United States.

One of my favorite websites which provides excellent unbiased health information is www.mercola.com. Dr Joseph Mercola shares his knowledge and wisdom to help you become more informed to be able to make better educated decisions about your health.

Needless surgeries range from those performed on children for ear infections, to unnecessary hysterectomies, cesareans (c-section), knee and shoulder arthroscopies, gallbladder removals, carpal tunnel, ulnar nerve transpositions, gastric bypass, lapband and many other needless surgeries.

I would like to switch gears now and share an amazing story with you. Gary was a cattle rancher from Montana. His wife was unable to get pregnant. They had been to several specialists and he had himself checked for any sperm abnormalities. The specialists could not find anything wrong with either of them or why they could not conceive a child.

Finally their family doctor told Gary to take his wife to see another doctor. Gary asked what kind of doctor he was recommending and his family doctor said he was a Chiropractor. Gary was confused as his wife had no back pain. Their family doctor insisted and because Gary trusted his family doctor he took his wife.

One of the goals of Chiropractic is to remove or reduce nerve interference, particularly in the spine. Nerve interference can affect the different organs of the body. By removing that nerve interference, homeostasis can be restored to those organs where there might be nerve interference. Nerve interference was not allowing her ovaries to ovulate.

As a result of Chiropractic care, Gary’s wife had three beautiful healthy children. I met Gary, his wife and their three children while attending Chiropractic school. Chiropractic had made such a HUGE impact in their lives Gary decided to become a Doctor of Chiropractic himself.

If you’ve had a bad experience with Chiropractic you just went to the wrong Chiropractor. If you have never experienced good Chiropractic care, you don’t know what you are missing. I encourage you to experience the many wonderful benefits of the largest natural alternative healthcare system in the world, Chiropractic. It has achieved that status for a very good reason. It provides results.

Millions of adults and children all over the world have benefited. Their lives and health have been greatly improved because of safe natural Chiropractic care. Chiropractic is notjust for back pain as was once believed.

I hope you make the decision and commitment to make 2010 the best year ever for your health and that of your spouse and children’s health as well.

“If people let the government decide what foods they eat and what medicines they take, their bodies will soon be in as sorry a state as the souls who live under tyranny.” ~Benjamin Franklin

Just like you don’t wait until you have heart problems to start preventing them. You don’t want to wait until you start having spinal problems to do something about it either. Make that call today. Get yourself and your family started on a preventative approach to a pain free, drug free, healthy life. What are you waiting for? Join the millions of people worldwide in the self care wellness revolution.

Get a Second, Third Or Even Fourth Opinion By Dr. Gonzalez

9/3/2013

Get a Second, Third Or Even Fourth OpinionOne of my favorite channels is Discovery Health. I like to watch the show Mystery Diagnosis because you ‘ll learn what to look out for. For example, last night a lady in her early thirties started having hip pain. She went to her family doctor and he told her that she was just getting “older”. I laughed out loud when I heard that because it’s amazing what some doctors come up with. He didn’t even order some basic X-Rays. Makes you wonder how this guy is a doctor.

Since she is a runner she shrugs it off and the pains continue on and off. The years go by and now ten years later,her husband got a transfer so they move up to Seattle, WA. Shortly after moving there, she now has pain in her hip and it starting to radiate down to her knee, She see’s another specialist there and he really doesn’t think it’s much other than probably from her running. She quits running and starts bike riding instead but the pain continues. Another ten years go by and she finally goes to see another specialist. This time this doctor orders a CAT Scan and He finds a non-malignant tumor in her pelvic bone. She has it surgically removed and her life is back to normal. No more pain!

She even stated she knew something was not right but she did not insist or go see a specialist. So she is mainly to blame. She had the intuition but ignored it.

When you have a gut feeling it’s for a reason. Don’t ignore it. That’s your higher self watching out for you. If she would have followed up with her intuition after the first doctor and kept on until someone did some diagnostic studies she would not have suffered for twenty years.

While most doctors do order diagnostic studies and sometimes too many, I often come across patients who have been misdiagnosed. This is a really BIG problem in this country. And that leads to getting the wrong treatment, which in most cases are prescription drugs.

Television commercials are great promoters of misinformation, bar none. For example, let’s take a look at acid reflux disease and the little purple pill. If too much acid was really the cause of heartburn, bloating, indigestion etc. why do you have to keep taking it forever? Shouldn’t one or two prescriptions cure the problem? Absolutely not! This applies to any prescription drug….they don’t cure. That way you take it for the rest of your life and the pharmaceutical company laughs all the way to the bank

I have known patients to have been on Nexium for over ten years. The patient is usually overweight, smokes, drinks alcohol excessively, no exercise and follows the SAD (Standard American Diet) diet consisting of burgers, fries, big gulps, meat and potatoes. When this patient changes his habits his body normalizes and no more acid reflux!

Next time you find yourself in a situation like the like the Mystery Diagnosis woman …get a second, third or even fourth opinion. Do whatever it takes. Take charge. It’s your body.
