Dr. John Brimhall's Puzzle Piece: Case Study - 3 Year Old with Frequent Urination
John Brimhall, D.C.
Dr. John Brimhall's Puzzle Piece: Case Study - 3 Year Old with Frequent Urination Dear Dr. Brimhall, Hope this email finds you doing well. My wife and I are excited to be at either the Atlanta seminar or the Orange Beach seminar. I'm writing because my 3.5 year old son had a virus about 4-5 weeks ago and afterwards, he has not quit urinating every 5-10 minutes, sometimes more often than that. From what I've read and researched it's called Pollakuria (not polyuria), it's small amounts of urine, sometimes just dribbles out, but he has that urge to go, and at night, he doesn't have to go. It's embarrassing for him as he doesn't want to go to school because he says he tee-tee's too much, and it's driving mom and myself insane as we can't go anywhere without him going to the bathroom a bunch. I've tried the laser and adjusting him, haven't tried the percussor yet. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated? Thank you so much for your help. . . . keep reading
Introducing Entry Level Clinical Nutrition™ -- Part V The New Age Of Sickness And Scarcity: An Overview of the Seven-Step Program
Jeff Moss, DDS, CCN, DACBN
Introducing Entry Level Clinical Nutrition™ -- Part V The New Age Of Sickness And Scarcity: An Overview of the Seven-Step Program My last post reviewed the impressive work of Stig Bengmark, MD, PhD, an internationally recognized expert on critical care nutrition. In that post, I noted that Dr. Bengmark draws a direct linkage between the acute phase response -- a response to a short, intense, traumatic stress -- and what he calls the chronic phase response (CPR). He says that the CPR is the body's response to "long-lasting, continuous . . . mental and/or physical stress". He says that its effects resemble those of the acute phase response in many respects. . . . keep reading

Using Blood Testing to Assess for Prostate Cancer
Dicken Weatherby, ND
Using Blood Testing to Assess for Prostate Cancer Prostate cancer is currently the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths in US men. Prostatic cells are more prone to mutation than other cells of the male reproductive system and evidence from autopsies showed that 34% of men aged 40 -- 49 have histological evidence of prostate cancer. This rose to 70% in men aged 80 or over . With so many men experiencing health issues . . . keep reading

The New Age of Sickness and Scarcity:Is there a solution? Introducing Entry Level Clinical Nutrition™ - Part III In previous articles, I've discussed the fact that chronic illness has been increasing dramatically.

The New Age of Sickness and Scarcity: Why aren't traditional treatments working? Introducing Entry Level Clinical Nutrition™ - Part II
Jeff Moss, DDS, CCN, DACBN
The New Age of Sickness and Scarcity: Why aren't traditional treatments working? Introducing Entry Level Clinical Nutrition™ - Part II It seems we just can't count on the "old reliables" like we used to. For one thing, summer used to start near the end of June -- but this year, didn't it feel like it started in May? As health care providers, we used to believe we knew how to manage chronic illness pretty well. However, as I noted in my previous blog post, the number of chronically ill patients has been dramatically increasing and many are not getting well, even though they are receiving repeated treatment. . . . keep reading
The New Age Of Sickness And Scarcity: How do we respond? Introducing Entry Level Clinical Nutrition™ - Part I
Dr. Jeff Moss
The New Age Of Sickness And Scarcity: How do we respond? Introducing Entry Level Clinical Nutrition™ - Part I Last year, The New York Times wrote an article about medical students from the University of Washington who spent the summer working in medical clinics that were located in areas hard hit by the recession. The article, titled, "Summer of Work Exposes Medical Students to System's Ills" showed the stark reality of treating sickness in today's U.S. health care environment. . . . keep reading

Dr. John Brimhall's Puzzle Piece: What is Narcolepsy and what can we do about it?
John Brimhall, D.C.
Dr. John Brimhall's Puzzle Piece: What is Narcolepsy and what can we do about it? Narcolepsy is a neurological disorder that affects the control of sleep and wakefulness. People with narcolepsy experience excessive daytime sleepiness and intermittent, uncontrollable episodes of falling asleep during the daytime. These sudden sleep attacks may occur during any type of activity at any time of the day. This factor makes it very dangerous and threatening to the patient's life and wellbeing. . . . keep reading

Keri Knox, RN
Is the Pneumococcal Vaccine All its Cracked Up to Be? The CDC, hospitals and doctor's offices around the country are intent on pushing the pneumococcal vaccine as a safe and effective way to reduce the burden of pneumonia on society. It's touted as being especially important for the elderly population to get this vaccine, as they are not only more prone to GET pneumonia, but more prone to dying from it or becoming critically ill. . . . keep reading

Dr. Weatherby has put together a fabulous set of reference materials. Not only are they well organized but they are clinically relevant, concise and I would not be the doctor I am today without them. As far as individuals I like to learn from; Dr. Weatherby is at the top of the list!
Tim Irving, DC

After 30 years practicing chiropractic practice became rather routine. Dicken's training material in Functional Diagnosis has made practice fun again. His teaching methods and materials are easy to follow and easy to apply in practice. Now I am able to help far more patients than ever before.

Dicken, thank you so much your Functional Diagnosis Training! Your training materials and books are invaluable in my practice. I thank you again, but, more importantly, my patients thank you.
