Your back deserves the best that you can give it. There is no replacement for that very precious part of the body that takes you through every motion, every moment in time. Since most of us cannot see our own backs, the old adage of out of sight out of mind may very well be apropos when we look at the alarming statistics on back problems: more than 80% of the US population suffers with back pain.

When we say back we are referring to the area from the base of the skull to the top of the buttocks. This entire region houses the essential spinal cord that is the conductor of all nerve impulses to the muscles in the body.

Both research and experience reveal the facts: we are ruining our backs. The problems begin when we are in our developing years as children and they persist for a lifetime for most people.

The fact that the average person is inadequately educated on how to safeguard and protect the back is fundamental to understanding why there is the persistent condition we all know as

Better See Your Doctor… Now

Are you aware that changes went into effect regarding Florida's PIP (Personal Injury Protection) law on January 1, 2013? If you are in an automobile accident, here is what you need to know:

1. If you've been injured in an automobile accident, regardless of fault, you must receive the initial services and care within 14 days. Your failure to seek medical attention during this time will result in a denial of any future benefits under your automobile insurance policy.
   
   
2. The initial service and care must be provided by a licensed physician, licensed osteopath osteopathic physician, licensed chiropractic physician, licensed dentist, or must be rendered in a hospital, a facility that owns or is owned by a hospital, or licensed emergency transportation and treatment provider.
   
   
3. Any follow-up services and care require a referral from such providers and must be consistent with the underlying medical diagnosis rendered when the individual received the initial service

Today you are a new person with a mind that needs to be provided the right ingredients to work at top efficiency. If you felt foggy or dull yesterday, it means that you now will need a better program to clear the brainwaves of static and stubborn debris. So what do we do when we need to get to the point?

A sharpener! 

While pencils and knives have their own shares of sharpening devices, the brain has quite an array as well but they take much different forms. 

Here are some of the most brain sharpening items for people of all ages: 

• High quality foods. Omega-3 rich fish, darkcolored vegetables, berries, apples, olive and coconut oils, seaweed, beans, lentils and fermented foods are all enriching and help keep the brain and body running at top efficiency. Aim for pesticide and chemically-free products. 
  
  
• High quality beverages. Clean water, fresh squeezed or juiced fruits and vegetables, naturally caffeine-free teas, high quality coffee in small amounts or water

Did you Know

...that the color of your home, the shape of your furniture and the smell of your environment all reflect your health as well as your thoughts, feelings and moods?

If you find yourself feeling low, blue or out-of-sorts on a continuous basis, take a closer look at what you call “home”. You may or may not be surprised at what you come up with after taking the time to analyze your kingdom. A good way to check and see if your residence is contributing to your feelings or poor health is to have a healthy, trusting and honest friend or relative come over one day and have him or her give you a critique. A good set of eyes with a sensitive nose can clue you to what may be causing you trouble. 

The art of feng shui (pronounced fung shway) has its roots in ancient China in which earthly time and heavenly space were the basis for the motion and flow of life. Feng signifies “wind” and Shui means “water”. The idea of having good “wind and water” was conside

. . . and your feet, knees, hips, and back. About 25 years ago I lived on the family farm and one day, after doing some plowing on the tractor, I received a serious injury to my foot.

On the back of the tractor was a large tiller that must have weighed 700-800 lbs. When it was disconnected it fell about 3- 4 inches on top of my foot. 

It didn't break any bones but I needed a few stitches and had to walk with a crutch for a while. Long after the cut had healed I continued to have foot pain and soon after started having same side knee and hip pain. 

The heavy weight of the farm implement had flattened my foot arch and caused a condition called pronation. I tried many different shoes and supports but nothing helped. 

Finally I tried a pair of Birkenstock sandals. Amazingly months of continuing pain was stopped in its tracks. Being the smart fella I am, it became clear to me that there was a relationship between pronation and foot, knee, and hip problems. This was a quar
