  Platelets are little cells that scan the bloodstream looking for rogue cells and invaders to target and destroy. They are an important part of our immune defense. Usually clotting a cut in the skin is all they get credit for. It turns out they are big players, regulating inflammation and infections This is what they do: 1. Inflammation Managers: Inflammation is the body's natural response to injury or infection. Platelets are among the first cells responding to sites of tissue injury and infection. When tissues are damaged, platelets are attracted to the injury to form a plug, preventing blood loss. Additionally, they recruit other signaling chemicals: cytokines and chemokines. This is how platelets manage to modulate other immune cells arriving in the problem area. Platelets will interact with white blood cells specific to infection, called neutrophils and macrophages. This bolsters the immune cells effectiveness to surround and destroy any and all bad guys.  2. Bacterial D...

  Two things on this planet have been available our entire lives: light and oxygen. And we don't survive without appropriate amounts of each. Ultraviolet light and activated oxygen have been combined to provide an efficient, non-toxic therapeutic application that impacts people with various conditions. This therapy is known as biophotonic therapy, ultraviolet blood irradiation, or UBI. The most  recent breakthrough in the delivery of this valuable intervention was made by Tom Lowe. Tom pioneered a rotating stem within a cuvette tube that increases the exposure of blood cells passing by ultraviolet waves emitted in the machine used to administer an improved therapeutic dose. This short video explains the therapy, it's inception and current break throughs. " Ultraviolet blood irradiation (UBI) was extensively used in the 1940s and 1950s to treat many diseases including septicemia, pneumonia, tuberculosis, arthritis, asthma and even poliomyelitis. The early studies were carr...

Certain features have been elucidated about the tendencies of human infection of the COVID-19 virus. The most recent paper published in The Journal of Medical Virology early in 2020 states: "These findings suggested that the initiation of the immune response result in the production of chemokines and cytokines, which damage normal host lung." 1 Chemokines and Cytokines are the chemicals the body uses to fight infection, with the purpose of creating a healing for the host-human. When the person has a pre-existing high level of these inflammatory chemicals or has a harder time dampening a hyper-vigilant immune response (as in autoimmunity), an infection can hit much harder than for those with normal inflammatory responses. This explains why COVID-19 is worse for people with underlying conditions that often are paired with older age: diabetes, heart disease, and autoimmune conditions. Determining the level of inflammationfrom a blood sample might help understand where the in...

Many people ask how is Applied Kinesiology different?    Applied Kinesiology is used in the chiropractic examination to establish additional information about normal and abnormal body function accomplished by muscle tests. Kinesiology defined is, the study of movement as it relates to muscles of the body.   Applied means that we apply the information of body movement to the diagnosis and treatment.   Since the original discovery of applied kinesiology during the 1960s by Dr. George Goodheart, the principle has broadened to include evaluation of the nervous system, vascular system, lymphatic system, nutrition, acupuncture and cerebrospinal fluid function. Since nerves control body functions, including all the major systems, it is essential that a doctor be able to evaluate the nerves that control the function of the whole body, ie: the glands, organs, muscles, skin, and other tissues.   This information is combined with other diagnostic physical ...
