Whether you can’t sleep because you are in too much pain or because you can’t shut off your brain or you’re not tired, the result is the same – you don’t get enough sleep!  I have the potential to help with all of the above reasons.
I help many people get rid of pain (low back [...]

Valerie Lumley suffered with fibromyalgia for many years, constantly searching for a solution and being told by the medical profession that she’d have to live with it forever.  She was not willing to give up.  Her body was shutting down and she didn’t want to be bed-ridden for the rest of her shortened life.  Despite [...]

Chiropractors have long said that ear infections can be treated by chiropractic.  Although I won’t directly treat an ear infection with NUCCA, I know that ear infections will often improved after an atlas adjustment.
Here’s some anatomy to explain.  The tensor veli palatini muscle is innervated by the trigeminal nerve (cranial nerve V).  The trigeminal nerve [...]

I read an article that showed that your genes are not the end-all of your health.  Even if you were given disease-prone genes, cancer genes, or other negative genes, you can change which genes are expressed and which genes are turned off.
You cannot go into your DNA and “choose” which genes to turn off and [...]

There are many ways to improve your immune system.  You do not have to suffer with being sick all the time.

Do you have tachycardia or a too-fast heart rate?
These are all signs of being hyper-sympathetic, and I’m not talking about having too much empathy!
Your autonomic nervous system has two parts: sympathetic and parasympathetic.

The sympathetic nervous system is the “fight or flight,” which is the body’s stress response.  It [...]

Good Morning America jumped all over this, and for good reason!  The news spread quickly about how NUCCA proved to reduce blood pressure in a pilot study published in the peer-reviewed Journal of Human Hypertension.
It was a ground-breaking study showing that NUCCA improves the physiological function of individuals. This can spread beyond hypertension and [...]

A blast from the past!
In July 2008, I was interviewed by Dr. Richard Gracer of Gracer Medical Group in San Ramon, CA.  He was interested in the article published in the Journal of Human Hypertension, a peer-reviewed journal, regarding the study done at the University of Chicago showing that NUCCA reduces blood pressure.  The 50 [...]

Trigeminal neuralgia has sometimes been called the suicide disease, because the pain can last for years without any hint of relief.   It’s a terrible, debilitating disease that literally forces someone’s life to be put on hold.  It’s not the only chronic pain problem that does that; it’s just one of the many.
