Since acquiring a passion for how the body works in chiropractic school, I have continued to indulge this desire by reading some 120 peer reviewed medical journals per month. I’m always learning more about how to help people avoid chronic diseases like diabetes, heart disease, dementia, osteoporosis, obesity and cancer, and pass along this information in my blog. There are currently almost 2,000 posts cataloged on almost every health topic imaginable!
For some reason, the information that we understand about avoid and managing chronic diseases remains a big secret. Drugs dominate and lifestyle is pushed to the side. Time after time I have new patients come into my office that have not been given the information they need to get or stay healthy.
This blog has always served as therapy for me, allowing me to share with the world this hidden information. Hence the name “Rantings…”

Diabetes is the scourge of civilization today. It is the ONE disease we all fight against because of the way our bodies were designed. However, our increasing reliance of medicine to treat diabetes have led us to believe there is little we can do to prevent is or manage it.
