August is Gastroparesis Awareness Month. Gastroparesis is a disorder that occurs when the stomach takes too long to empty food.

July is UV Safety Awareness Month which means its time to talk about sunscreen protection.

Using sunscreen helps save your skin from a bad burn. Did you know not all sunscreen is created equal?

Chemical sunscreens absorb the harmful harmful UV rays like a sponge. They may be longer lasting, but so are the effects of said chemicals in your body. Did you know that chemicals that are commonly found in most sunscreens can later be found in your blood, urine, & even breastmilk?

It is best to use a physical or mineral base sunscreen because it deflects the UV rays away from your skin. These types of mineral base sunscreens have come a long way from the old formulas that use to be thick & chalky.

Please take action & demand Congress to protect our babies & kids by passing the Baby Food Safety Act.

Earlier this year, a shocking congressional report revealed dangerously high levels of toxic heavy metals, including lead, arsenic, and mercury, in popular baby foods. These metals can cause permanent harm to babies' developing brains.

The Food & Drug Administration (FDA) and World Health Organization (WHO) agree that exposure to even low levels of heavy metals can cause serious and often irreversible damage to babies' brains. But the levels found in the baby foods tested and their ingredients are terribly high, including up to 91 times the arsenic level & 177 times the lead level the FDA set for drinking water. INSANE!!

EWG experts recommend avoiding baby foods that contain ingredients testing high in toxic heavy metals, such as rice, and looking for alternatives to rice-based foods (even for adults).

Congress needs to take action to protect our babies & kids from brain-damaging toxic heavy metals. Congress should pass the Baby Food Safety Act IMMEDIATELY to set tough standards that protect our kids & require product testing. Will you join us in demanding that Congress take immediate action to protect our kids?

Scoliosis is an abnormal curvature of the spine. It can be categorized as either structural or nonstructural. In structural scoliosis, the spine's curve is caused by a disease, injury, or birth defect, and is permanent. Nonstructural scoliosis is described as a temporary curve that can be fixed.

A study showed chiropractic treatment may aid in alleviating pain & increase flexibility while living with scoliosis. In addition certain therapies such as massage, electrical stimulation (E-stim), etc. aid in reducing pain & discomfort.
