Stop Brushing Your Teeth Immediately. Doctor’s Orders. Avoiding Back Surgery In Portland, Maine

Stop Brushing Your Teeth Immediately.  Doctor’s Orders.   Avoid Back Surgery in Portland, Maine     According to wikipedia, the origin of dentistry dates back to 7,000 BC. For decades dentists have been emphasizing the need to brush regularly and floss at least once a day. New evidence shows that this no longer makes sense.   We interviewed 100 people regarding brushing and flossing habits. 90% of those interviewed said they brush daily despite having no evidence of cavities or tooth decay. Of this 90% nearly all respondents said that their teeth feel fine but they brush anyway. 65% of people polled said they floss regularly and similar to the people who brush, they have no known cavities and have no dental pain.   Dentists have suggested that prevention actually works and that before cavities, gum disease and other problems in the mouth, tooth and gums occur, we should take action. Take action before problems start.   This approach no longer makes sense. People are now being told that they should discontinue brushing if their teeth don’t hurt and they have no cavities. The time and expense of regular dental care, when weighed against the known risk and outcome,...

Do Cell Phones Cause Cancer?   Despite recent reports the verdict still seems to be out on this issue. With high exposure do rats get tumors when exposed to cell phones? Yes. Does this mean humans will? No. But the world is not this cut and dry. While the question about cell phone safety is good, it’s not the best question. Understanding that there is value in knowing the dangers of cell phone exposure in a lab, it’s much more complicated than that. People will us the “we aren’t the same as rats and we don’t expose our brains to 9 hours of cell phone use a day.” Like with most misunderstandings by civilians about how the body works, thinking about the big picture is often lost. Our bodies are constantly bombarded with immeasurable physical, chemical and mental stress. We don’t live in a world where the only stress on our brain from cell phones. Whether it’s chemicals in medications, radiation or some form of electromagnetic energy that crosses our blood brain barrier or skeletal protection, it may all be adding up. The cumulative effect and how they interact with one another is what is ultimately most important and telling....

Chiropractic and Martial Arts – A Portland, Maine Perspective

The Salubrious Dr. Lou Martial Arts & Chiropractic   Martial Arts & Chiropractic go hand in hand. Here’s why.   All martial arts are physically and mentally demanding. Focus, speed, flexibility, control, spacial awareness, reflexes, muscle memory, physical resilience and a host of other qualities come in to play. These often simultaneously demanding requirements are all controlled by the brain. The brain is your master controller, the hard drive and server of your human computer network. Control and communication to all cells of the body must be optimally functional for you to get the most out of your body. This is true whether you are practicing MMA, Ju Jitsu, Tae Kwon Do, Jukado, Karate or Aikido.   Because of the physical and mental demands and even physical abuse you put your body through to learn a martial art, things get thrown out of whack. When your body gets jarred around, subluxation of the spine often results. Subluxation is a misalignment of the spine that leads to nerve irritation and results in decreased nerve communication. This interference decreases function in the areas that the nerves control. If those areas happen to be your feet, legs, neck, hips, stomach, adrenal glands or other...

Chiropractor in Bucuresti – Dr. Lou Jacobs – (+40)21 222 13 70

Dr. Lou Jacobs – Chiropractor in Bucuresti   If you live in Romania you may have searched youtube or google for a chiropractor in Bucuresti. Up until recently, you would have been disappointed by the results. Instead of watching local videos or reading articles by a chiropractor in Bucuresti, you were probably redirected to a chiropractor in NYC or California or Portland, Maine. While there are many great chiropractors in the U.S., Romania and much of Eastern Europe is lacking legitimate representation within the chiropractic profession. There are no doctors.   Romania has two Chiropractors who have been trained in chiropractic universities abroad. There are no chiropractic programs or schools in Romania. Beware of the “chiropractor” who did not train at a legitimate university. Of the two chiropractors in Romania, only one is a chiropractor in Bucuresti.   American chiropractor, Dr. Lou Jacobs, is the only chiropractor in Bucuresti. Because of the high demand for chiropractic in Romania given the lack of chiropractors, Dr. Lou visits Romania for work 3 months out of the year and maintains an office in the U.S. as well. Dr. Lou’s schedule in 2016 includes office hours between May 16 and June 15 at...
