Ideas for Good Health Essays on inflammation, vitamin D, stress, breathing and other ways to stay healthy, by Dr. Mha Atma and other writers.
For years I have been referring folks to his website, deflame.com.
Neck pain and stiffness, like many other symptoms, are your body's way of telling you that something in your life is out of balance and needs attention.
Vitamin D is unique in that you get very little from food.
Eat a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables, the more colorful the better.
Most diagnostic testing—including x-rays, MRI’s, CT scans and electrodiagnostic tests—are usually unnecessary and waste a huge amount of money.
I have also seen patients whose chronic pain or illness improved dramatically when they made an emotional breakthrough in their life.
Jack Challem on why Cox-2 inhibitor drugs only mask inflammation, and how small changes in diet plus vitamin and herbal supplements address its causes.
When you are in pain, there is generally one thing that you want—relief!
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says that 85 percent of diseases have an emotional element.
Chiropractic and the “chiropractic lifestyle” are about promoting healthy and balanced systems in the body, to move each person towards optimal health.
The number one cause of pain, disease, and death in the United States is…..food!
These reports made me wonder: Why does someone need a “wake-up call”—is it because they are asleep?
To save money, tens of thousands—and perhaps even millions—of Americans buy their prescription drugs from Canadian and Mexican pharmacies.
Sow the seeds of good health: exercise regularly, drink lots of water, rest and relax, spend time with loved ones, and get regular chiropractic adjustments.
Every breath you take has a profound effect on the quality of your life.
A recently published review of American nutrition impressed me so much that I wanted to share it with you.
The Spinal Column Dr. Mha Atma's letters to patients and friends on back and neck pain, chiropractic research, nutrition and caring for your spine.
