I agree with Dr. Joe Mercola, Vitamin D testing is best done by a nutritionally oriented physician.  I have spoke to my patient's for years about getting the correct test performed.  That is the test for 25(OH)D, also called 25-hydroxyvitamin D.  Dr. Mercola.  On his website, Dr. Mercola has produced an excellent youtube video which is very informative.  May I direct you to Dr. Mercola's web page at: http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2002/02/23/vitamin-d-deficiency-part-one.aspx

I attended a conference on Morphogenic Field Testing this week end.  It was spectacular.  I, soon, hope to introduce this program into our diagnostic / treatment package.  This really makes me rethink our position on the foods that we eat and what we need to do to maintain a healthy body. More on it later.

For some people, pain occurs when they strain their back muscles. A person can strain the muscles when trying to lift a too-heavy object or if the muscles are constantly overexerted. An unusual movement in the back can lead to a spasm of the muscle or twist the back in an uncomfortable, painful way.

Some people may wrongly think good nutrition only comes from eating bland or boring foods. Here at A Quality Life Health Center, we can tell you that is certainly not the case. Our Spokane chiropractor, Dr. Loren C. Miller, completed post-doctorate courses in nutritional studies, and our center offers dietary and healthy eating tips, weight loss methods, and various ways you can deliciously incorporate the vitamins and nutrients you need to maintain or attain a healthy weight and way of living.

Our Diet for Weight Loss and Wellness Includes Detoxification and Purification

Losing weight is what compels many people to eat more healthfully. Rather than construct a diet around near starvation and deprivation, we begin our diet for weight loss with a detoxification and purification program. Such a method sets the stage for healthy eating going forward by removing accumulated toxins from your body. Toxins include everything from caffeine to medication, cigarette smoke to preservatives that can overload the kidneys, liver, digestive tract and other organs that filter out the waste products. Toxin overload can lead to exhaustion, fatigue, allergies, and general malaise.

Our weight loss program begins with a cleansing diet for purification of your body. Our cleansing diet is not just for weight loss, but it can help overall health and wellness. Once toxins are purged from the system, your body can once again function to its full potential, resulting in greater amounts of energy, healthier hair and skin, and less frequent aches, pains, headaches, and other maladies. After the three-week purification diet, our chiropractor can recommend a healthy eating plan tailored to your specific needs based on your age, weight, gender and lifestyle.

Sustaining healthy eating can be easy with tips that are as delicious as they are nutritious. Our chiropractic clinic believes eating nutritious foods that properly fuel your body should not be a part-time endeavor just for losing weight, but a full-time way of life that is part of a sustainable and effective wellness program.
