Help LWC In The Fight Against Breast Cancer!

Life Wellness Center is proud to help in the fight against breast cancer by donating to a very special team of women who will be walking the 60-mile walk on August 21st - 23rd.

Please help them achieve their goal in donations and continue to support them through their web site.

The Breast Cancer 3 Day Walk is August 21st – 23rd.

Their efforts will benefit Susan G. Komen for the Cure and the National Philanthropic Trust Breast Cancer Fund. Individually the 3-woman team needs to raise $2300 and, as a team, they've set a goal to raise $7000 – they are a little over half to their team goal. If someone wants to donate, there are 3 easy ways to do so:

- Online: Go to www.the3day.org. Select Donate and search for Angela Collignon or Lisa Vander Loop.

- In-person: Write a check made payable to “Breast Cancer 3-Day” and give to the Front Desk at Life Wellness Center.

- Phone: You can call 800.996.3DAY to donate over the phone.

If a company would like to sponsor them, they will include their company logo on their t-shirts.

A message from Team: 'Back Our Racks';

Join us on an amazing journey in the fight against breast cancer! The Breast Cancer 3-Day is a 60-mile walk over the course of three days. Net proceeds benefit Susan G. Komen for the Cure and National Philanthropic Trust, funding important breast cancer research, education, screening, and treatment. For a fundraiser, we are also “selling” spots on our t-shirts. If you have someone you would like us to walk in memory of, in support for, or in honor of and donate $100 or more, we will include their name on the back of our t-shirts. Or if you choose to just donate $100 or more, we will include your name as a “Top Donor”. If you would like to participate, make a note of the individuals name along with the spot you are "buying" in the personal note section when you make your donation. We appreciate all of your support, we could not be doing this without your help!

LWC has gone DIGITAL!

You don't need a converter box. You don't need HDTV. All you need is a skeleton. Life Wellness Center once again has state-of-the-art technology with new digital x-ray processing. If you are a new patient to Life Wellness Center, prepare to be impressed with the crisp, clear and accurate scan of your body. Even if you have already had x-rays done, stop in and see this impressive piece of equipment designed to give our patients the best for their health and wellness.

Zyto is Neat-O!

Life Wellness Center now has ZYTO technology!

(From www.zyto.com:)
How does the technology work?
"In the most basic terms, ZYTO technology uses quantum physics as well as established Galvanic Skin Response (GSR) technology to measure fluctuations in electrical conductivity of the skin. A client places their hand on the hand cradle, the ZYTO software sends stimuli to the body using digital signatures that represent actual things, and the fluctuations in GSR are measured and interpreted. The response helps the practitioner to see how the body responds to the items being assessed, which ones it prefers, and how much it prefers them. This knowledge is used by healthcare practitioners to maximize their results by helping them choose the right solution for their clients at the right time."

Are the results accurate?
Yes. ZYTO practitioners have performed tens of thousands of assessments worldwide.
Practitioners have also used other modalities to evaluate the results of their ZYTO software
with great results. Recently, a hospital study was conducted that showed a 95.2% correlation
between the results of ZYTO’s technology and the recommendations of the doctor.


How can I experience this amazing technology?
ZYTO currently offers two professional systems that are available to certified health professionals as well as a new system that is available for consumers to buy. The best way for non-certified individuals to experience the power of the professional systems would be to schedule an assessment with any of the hundreds of health professionals who use ZYTO’s technology in their clinics throughout the world (such as Life Wellness Center).

Are the results reproducible?
One of the most common questions that arises as people are getting to know the technology and how it works, is why the actual data from the scans changes from one assessment to another. As a matter of fact, because of what we are measuring, we don’t expect reproducibility. ZYTO technology measures the most rapidly changing field in the body, the energetic field, which processes 400 million impulses of information per second. When dealing with complex mindmatter systems repeatable measurements are not expected. Instead you look for patterns and trends.

Are there any research studies on the technology?
There are myriad studies that have been conducted over the last century on GSR and its
use in measuring the body’s reaction to stimuli. In addition, several independent studies have
been conducted by health professionals using ZYTO’s technology.


Can the technology be used to treat or diagnose?
ZYTO technology is not designed to treat or diagnose. It is a tool designed to assist the
healthcare practitioner in finding the body’s preferences for any list of items. This information
is invaluable in helping the practitioner determine which product is going to maximize therapeutic results for the client.

Do you have FDA approval?
ZYTO’s technology does not qualify as a medical device and therefore does not require FDA
Approval. We are always reviewing the changes in the industries and the laws of the countries
we operate in to remain in compliance.

Oink-oink!

(Adapted from an article by Bill Esteb)

"Even though I no longer follow the media's interpretation of reality, even a quick glance, long enough to identify that the airport's monitors are tuned to CNN, reveals the latest fear mongering: swine flu. How delicious. On top of the financial "slipping and checking" that has infatuated the media, they can now fill the airwaves with something even scarier: an infectious disease. This is what advertising executives dream of, bent on reaching as many eyeballs as possible.
I don't give the medical-industrial-media complex enough credit for some type of conspiracy. This is merely their worldview, played out on glowing phosphorous screens around the world. As usual, their perspective turns everyone into a potential victim and little is done to put the current outbreak into perspective. Like virtually every other threat, armies are gathering for the obligatory "War on Swine Flu."
You and I know it won't work. Even if it appears to work, it won't work.
The War on Swine flu (or whatever politically correct name the symptoms the virus produces this week is called) will be about as successful as the War on Terror, the War on Cancer and the War on Ingrown Toenails. Going to war makes it appear that someone is doing something. Yet in this situation, going to war will not likely prolong the outbreak, but produce collateral damage and increase needless suffering--whether emotional or physical.
This particular virus is not a problem or an enemy. Neither was SARS, bird flu or any of the other more recent communicable diseases that have captured the attention of the media. As the father of the germ theory, Louis Pasteur observed on his deathbed, "It is the soil, not the seed." In other words, it's not the germ, it's the host; it's not the invader, it's one's resistance. Ironically, an individual's resistance is probably compromised by the worry and emotional stress of news reports that record the death toll and the enemy's movements! (Not to mention the heightened awareness of people coughing in their proximity.)
The current media reports provide a helpful backdrop for some patient education--namely our culture's fascination with germs.There is a connection between the nervous system and the immune system. When diminished by vertebral subluxation, the nervous system can have a dampening effect on the workings of the immune system. In fact, most of us can recall getting a cold or some other illness immediately following periods of stress, sleep deprivation or the "let down" after taking an important test or completing a big project. Turns out, the best defense is a good offense. One more reason why regular chiropractic checkups, even when you're feeling great, make sense.
If every patient were aware of the millions of successes their immune system is having by neutralizing a host of germs and microbes all day long, there would be less focus on its occasional oversight and a renewed focus on what can be done to bolster it. At its root, is a fundamental mistrust of the body and a mentality that would prefer to fight rather than strengthen, treat rather than create health and fear rather than understand. The only pandemic we have is one of ignorance and personal responsibility."

Fend off Psoriasis and Eczema with Simple, Inexpensive Remedies

From Dr. Mercola

Eczema (atopic dermatitis), and the closely associated psoriasis, are two very common skin problems. Both eczema and psoriasis are potentially allergic conditions that can be triggered by environmental factors and dozens of other external irritants like:
-Laundry detergent
-Soaps
-Household chemicals
-Workplace chemicals
-Perfumes
-Animal dander
-Metals (such as nickel in jewelry)
While psoriasis is most often linked with external allergic triggers, eczema is often caused by food allergies. However, although they’re different diseases and have varying triggers, their treatments have many commonalities.

How to Effectively and Inexpensively Treat Eczema and Psoriasis

Eczema is “the itch that rashes,” meaning, there’s really no rash until you start scratching the itchy area. Hence, the first thing you need to do is to stop scratching! Addressing the itch -- As anyone with eczema will attest, this is easier said than done. But fortunately, there IS a really simple, inexpensive way to relieve the itch: Simply put a saltwater compress over the itchy area.
You’ll want to use a high quality natural salt, such as Himalayan salt. Simply make a solution with warm water, soak a compress, and apply the compress over the affected area. You’ll be amazed to find that the itching will virtually disappear!

Another method that can be helpful for reducing or stopping the itch is EFT.
Proper skin hydration – When working with any type of skin condition, you need to make sure your skin is optimally hydrated. Skin creams are rarely the answer here, but rather you’ll want to hydrate your skin from the inside out by consuming high quality, animal-based omega-3 fats in your diet. Your best sources for omega-3s are animal-based fats like krill oil or fish oil. I also find it helpful to include a bit of gamma linoleic acid, typically in the form of primrose oil, as this works remarkably well for eczema. Products like “krill for women” are good for both sexes for this condition as they have both fatty acids. Plant-based omega-3s like flax and hemp seed, although decent omega-3 sources in general, will not provide the clinical benefit you need to reduce inflammation and swelling in your skin.

Secondly, you’ll want to reduce your exposure to harsh soaps and drying out your skin with excessive bathing. Use a very mild soap when you cleanse your skin, especially in the winter to avoid stripping your skin of moisture. Taking care of your gut = Taking care of your skin – Many don’t realize this, but the health and quality of your skin is strongly linked to the health of your gut. I recommend taking a high quality probiotic to ensure optimal digestive health. Fermented foods can be used as well, but are neither as common nor as easy to use.

Diet and skin quality – Food allergies play an enormous role in eczema. In my experience, the most common offending agent is wheat, or more specifically, gluten. Avoiding wheat and other gluten-containing grains is therefore a wise first step.
If you were to visit my clinic outside of Chicago as a new patient, one of the first steps we would advise would be to go on a gluten-free diet for a number of weeks and carefully observe any health improvements. This is an enormously common problem and many of our patients are surprised to find how much improvement they actually achieve from this step.
Avoiding grains will also reduce the amount of sugar in your system, which will normalize your insulin levels and reduce any and all inflammatory conditions you may have, including inflammation in your skin.

Other common allergens include milk and eggs. I recommend you do an elimination trial with these foods as well. You should see some improvement in about a week, sometimes less, after eliminating them from your diet if either of them is causing you trouble.
Basking in the sun – Vitamin D in the form of sun exposure is your best friend when dealing with either of these skin conditions, but it’s especially helpful for psoriasis. I produced a one-hour lecture that explains the health benefits of this long under-appreciated vitamin, so if you haven’t seen it already, I strongly recommend you take the time to watch this free video now.
Ideally, you’ll want to get your vitamin D from appropriate sunshine exposure because UVB radiation on your skin will not only metabolize vitamin D, but will also help restore ideal skin function. High amounts of UVB exposure directly on affected skin – but not so much to cause sunburn! – will greatly improve the quality of your skin.

However, if you can’t get sufficient amounts of sun during the winter months, a high quality safe tanning bed can suffice. A safe tanning bed will provide the optimized forms of UVA and UVB wavelengths, without dangerous magnetic skin balance.

Why Conventional Treatments Fail
You don’t have to use expensive, dangerous medicines to treat eczema or psoriasis!
Steroid creams especially, are clearly something you’ll want to avoid, because although they work initially, you will tend to rapidly develop tolerance to them. These creams contain synthetic steroids, which are absorbed into your skin, and can wreak serious havoc with your adrenal system. So please, avoid steroid creams and other potentially dangerous medications for these skin conditions and use these natural methods instead. You’ll find they work almost all the time, especially if you diligently apply them.

Once again, my family and I would like to thank everyone for the well wishes and congratulations before and after the birth of our son this past week. It has meant a lot to us. I hope to see all of you real soon. In the meantime, enjoy this little pic of Dr. Tom and his son visiting us in the hospital. Nicholas is already waiting for his very first adjustment! ~ Jeff

A new addition to the LWC Family!

Baby "Nicholas"

was born 10/1/08 at 5:31pm to Life Wellness Center's own Massage Therapist, Jeff and his wife Helen. Nicholas weighed in at 8 lbs. 13 ounces and was 21 inches long. Mother and baby are doing great while father and big brother Danny couldn't be prouder.

Jeff and his family would like to thank all of the Life Wellness Center staff and patients for all of the good luck wishes and prayers over the last few months.

You are all the best!!!
