This one isn't for you, it was for me. You can listen if you'd like, but there will be no research. I recommend not playing it around your kids. RIP Matthew, 1/26/93-11/19/20

November 17, 2020 14:05 - 18 minutes - 17 MB

Autonomic Nervous System activity is a MESS with chronic pain and Fibro patients. The Department of Psychology at the University of Jaen decided to use the very same tests YOU have in YOUR office to view just how ADAPTABILITY is decreased in these patients.

October 20, 2020 22:17 - 14 minutes - 12.9 MB

Poor Plumbing = Poor Health. If you adjust kids (and I mean, you should) you know this is true. So I was pretty excited when I read an article out of Taiwan breaking down the 2x risk of allergic rhinitis for individuals diagnosed with constipation. If they can't clear out, their immune system will suffer. And sure, some of the docs around us will be giddy to sell their supplements and probiotics -- but let's dive deep on the VAGUS and stick to subluxation neurology for a sec.
