The Benefits of SOT Treatment and Infant Chiropractic for Your Baby's Health and Well-Being As a parent, you want what is best for your baby. From proper nutrition and hydration to safe sleeping arrangements and regular check-ups, you go to great lengths to ensure your little one is healthy and happy. But have you considered the benefits of SOT treatment and infant chiropractic? SOT, or Sacro Occipital Technique, is a chiropractic treatment method that focuses on the relationship between the sacrum (the triangular bone at the base of the spine) and the occiput (the back of the head). SOT treatment involves gentle adjustments to the sacrum and occiput, which can help align the spine, improve posture, and promote overall well-being. Infant chiropractic, on the other hand, involves adjusting the spine of a newborn, baby, or young child.

Can DHEA Help Your Brain and Your Memory?   I saw a patient earlier this year who was in a state o f near panic because she had forgotten her Visa PIN. Hers was a story that I’m sure just about everyone can relate to! It was the end of a long day, and she had to stop on her way home to fill her car up with gas. When she went in to pay, she inserted her card into the machine as she’d done a million times before– including once or twice that same day– but all of a sudden, she blanked.

  CBT, Yoga and Blood Pressure CBT stands for  Cognitive behavioral therapy. Is it possible that simply changing the way you think can have a positive effect on lowering blood pressure? The research appears to agree that CBT can lower blood pressure. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is a  talking therapy  that can help you manage your problems by changing the way you think and behave. It's most commonly used to treat anxiety and depression, but can be useful for other mental and physical health problems (HBP). Cognitive and behavioral therapy can be used as an adjunct to medications to reduce blood pressure in hypertensive patients. In one study, there was a significant reduction from baseline to the second post-test assessment, in systolic and diastolic blood pressure levels from 134+/-9 to 123+/-8 mmHg and from 87+/-5 to 73+/-6 mmHg, respectively. In another study of 35 hospital patients were enrolled in a yoga class and an at-home yoga self-study and both groups reported a dec

The medical literature is exploding with the dangers of insulin resistance in the increase of cardiovascular disease and other disease entities. It is reported that chronic insulin resistance is also associated with various types of cancer such as colorectal cancer, pancreatic cancer, endometrial cancer, and breast cancer.
