Inexpensive therapy improves 71% of herniated discs

A friend of mine recently hurt his back. When he went to a chiropractor, the diagnosis was a herniated disk. The chiropractor wanted to put him on a machine that stretches out the back and relieves the herniated disk and the pain. The cost of his spinal decompression was going to run $200 per treatment. And it would take 20-25 treatments.

Fortunately, there’s a treatment that works even better for herniated disks. It works much faster and it costs a fraction of the $4,000-$5,000 this chiropractor hoped to make off his patients.

Simple mineral stops dementia and other brain challenges

Do you or a loved one suffer from dementia, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, or any other cognitive challenge? If so, you might be able to slow or stop the decline with a simple mineral.

 A National Institutes of Health study followed 1,024 participants 65 and older. The researchers looked at the relationship between selenium levels in the blood and cognitive testing. They discovered that if you have higher selenium in your blood, you’ll have lower risk for cognitive decline.

Are you taking too much vitamin D?

It seems that every month there is some new study published describing the wonders of vitamin D. It lengthens your lifespan. And it protects against cancer, diabetes, heart disease, colds and flu, strokes, MS, and more. Statistically, vitamin D will provide these benefits only when you take enough to get your blood levels up around 70 ng/ml. So is there any downside to having your blood levels this high? The answer might be yes.

Take the case of Millie, for example. Millie is a 68-year-old woman with a serious decrease in her bone mineral density.
