Never underestimate the healing power of laughter. Endorphins are your body’s natural drugs. Just saw “The Hangover” DVD and I am feeling much better about life in general. 
Stay Wild!

Omega 3 fatty acids are best found in wild caught fish, NOT the farm-raised. Farm-raised contain way too much Omega 6 EFAs. Stay with WILD!

Just had a great networking conversation with Dr. Richard Nemeth, a vibrant and terrific family practitioner in Alexandria, VA. Reaching beyond the imaginary walls between chiropractic and allopathic medicine can be so incredibly rewarding. Can’t wait to meet this doctor!

When someone tries to “throw you under the bus,” hop into the driver’s seat and roll over them. They’ll never know what hit ‘em.
Drink More Water! :)
Mar-31-2010 By admin
Never underestimate the power of water. Many aches and pains that people feel are often the result of dehydration. A general rule of thumb is to take the number of pounds that you weigh and divide by two to determine the number of ounces of water to consume per day (e.g. If I weigh 160 lbs., then I should drink 80 ounces of water or TEN 8 oz. glasses. Not really that hard to do). Drink more water!

Reliable Charities for Haiti – Please Help Haiti Earthquake Victims
Jan-14-2010 By admin
Haiti Earthquake Relief Effort – Reliable Charities
Many of my patients from Haiti have family and friends that are in dire need of assistance. The most effective way you can help is to make a donation to a well-established organization that is involved in providing emergency support. I recommend:
Doctors Without Borders
Because Doctors Without Borders already had teams working on medical projects in Haiti at the time of the earthquake, they have treated hundreds of injured people and are working to get more staff into the country. Doctors are setting up medical facilities in tents, since their own buildings have been severely damaged. Click here to donate https://donate.doctorswithoutborders.org/SSLPage.aspx?pid=197&hbc=1&source=ADR1001E1D01 or call 1-888-392-0392.
Partners in Health
This aid organization “is based on solidarity, rather than charity alone,” and is working to coordinate 120 doctors and 500 nurses on the ground in Haiti, evaluating how best to respond to the crisis. PIH’s flagship project is based in Haiti, and it’s where the organization’s broadest range of resources is located. Click here to donate: http://www.pih.org/home.html or call 1-617-432-5256
Oxfam International
Oxfam has dispatched a team of specialists to Haiti and is working to send badly needed medical supplies. Their humanitarian coordinator in Port-au-Prince said, “Our immediate priorities will be providing safe water and shelter material for the people who have lost their homes. Many people have lost their homes and were sleeping out in the open last night.” Click here to donate: https://secure.oxfamamerica.org/site/Donation2?df_id=3560&3560.donation=form1 or call 1-800-776-9326.
International Rescue Committee
The IRC will be working with overwhelmed local aid groups in Haiti to provide life-saving medical care, clean water and sanitation to earthquake survivors. IRC specialists are veteran first-responders who set up immediate and effective emergency programs around the world during violent conflicts and natural disasters. Click here to donate: https://www.theirc.org/donate/donate-now-haiti or call 1-877-REFUGEE.
American Red Cross
You can support the American Red Cross efforts in Haiti by giving to their International Response Fund. Click here to donate: https://american.redcross.org/site/Donation2?4306.donation=form1&idb=2964399&df_id=4306&JServSessionIdr004=bwm6vgg5b3.app195a or call 1-800-REDCROSS. Texting option: Text 90999 and your $10 donation will automatically be billed to your wireless number. It’s easy, safe, and reliable.
