Brian Bartholomew - Friday, June 17, 2011
10 Tips for Increasing Concentration, Focus and Improving ADHD

1. Follow our Healing Diet and Meal Ideas by adding in fresh, raw veggies, local grass fed beef, wild salmon and super foods like kale, spinach, fresh ground flax seeds, carrots, green peppers, brewer's yeast, blueberries and chlorella.

2. Try some new coconut products like Coconut Milk, Coconut Yogurt, Coconut Water, Extra Virgin Coconut Oil (great for cooking at high temperatures) and Coconut flakes (great in smoothies).

3. Be cautious and avoid toxins like Silver Amalgam Fillings, plug in air fresheners and non natural bath and beauty products.

4. Try to finish each task you start.  Today's technology makes it increasingly challenging but if you can discipline yourself each task strengthens your focus and attention span. 

5. Try a High Intensity Workout in the morning before your day gets started.  Get the early morning cobwebs out while burning calories, building muscle and getting amped for the day.

6. Kill your TV!! Spend time reading a book, talking with family or friends, walking your dog and get Outside!

7. Get your weekly or bi-weekly Chiropractic Adjustment.  Adjustments have been shown to improveconcentration, reaction time, immunity and generally keep you looking, feeling and functioning great.  If your whole family is not under chiropractic care WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?  What is better than having a well adjusted, healthy and happy family?  

8. Supplement your diet with a high quality Cod Liver Oil like BFO from BFC, Carlson's or Nordic Naturals.  1Tbsp or 2 capsules for adults and 1Tsp or capsule for children. 

9.  Boot the non-organic highly pasteurized and homogenized dairy products and replace them with a probiotic rich and healthy alternatives!

10. Live the life you love.  Be grateful, write a daily or weekly gratitude journal listing 5-10 things or people you are grateful for!  Thank you!!

Improvements in Hearing, Speech, Development, and Behavior Following Chiropractic

Improvements in Hearing, Speech, Development, and Behavior Following Chiropractic

A case study appeared in the February 14, 2011, issue of the scientific periodical, the Journal of Pediatric, Maternal and Family Health. This study documented the case of a 4-year-old boy with a history of enlarged adenoids, nasal congestion, hearing loss, speech difficulties, developmental delay, and behavioral concerns, who was subsequently helped with chiropractic.

The article begins by noting that otitis media is one of the most common causes of hearing loss among young children with possible further implications for speech, language, and learning delay as well as subsequent behavioral concerns. Otitis media accounted for 24.5 million doctor's visits in 1990 and is the most common reason for emergency visits among children.

In this case, a 4-year-old boy was brought to the chiropractor's office, having been previously diagnosed by the pediatrician and ENT physician with bilateral hearing loss, fluid build-up in the middle ears, swollen adenoids, and swollen nasal tissue. The boy's parents also mentioned he was diagnosed with expressive speech delay and developmental delay associated with behavioral issues. The boy also seemed more immature than children his age and was behind with his language ability for his age.

A chiropractic examination was performed on the boy and restriction was noted in the upper cervical (neck) spine. It was determined that subluxations were present in the boy's spine. These subluxations created interference with the boy's nervous system therefore decreasing his ability to function normally and be healthy.

Care was initiated with a series of specific chiropractic adjustments to correct the subluxations. The study reports that after 11 chiropractic visits the boy had a medical examination to test his hearing. The results of that test revealed that his hearing had improved and he was within normal limits. By the 24th visit another medical examination was performed and the boy's hearing was completely normal. Additionally it was reported that the boy also showed improvements with speech development and behavior.

This case also documents that the boy showed improvement in his language skill until he was on level with other children his age. It was also reported that his ability to interact with others and in school had also improved to appropriate levels.

In their conclusion the authors noted, "It is hypothesized that chiropractic care may increase overall immune function not limited to those with the conditions presented in this case report but also in the general pediatric population. Not only can this help to reduce sickness, but has great implications for prevention and to dramatically lower health care costs since otitis media is the number one complaint among pediatrics."

An Amazing Recovery from ADHD, Depression and Severe Pain with Period

Brian Bartholomew - Wednesday, February 16, 2011
We have had the good fortune of watching so many individuals heal from various health conditions at BFC.  We believe the true health comes from above down inside out from the nerve system functioning well, a super healthy lifestyle and positive outlook on life.  We are always looking to get more involved in the community and frequently speak at events, groups, churches, schools, businesses, malls and participate in health fairs. 

The video below is from one of our favorite practice members that we met at a high school sports talk.
