Dear patient and friend,
In the journals I read I often come
across new developments in the science of chiropractic. However, people like you never become aware
of these important ideas since the media reports so little of it.
Therefore I’ve taken yet upon myself to
keep you informed of crucial breakthroughs because I know how important they
can be to you, your family and friends.
As your doctor, I believe it is part of my sacred trust. So for your information and consideration,
here are these unique and revolutionary developments.
Fasting is a buzzword these days because of its
potential benefits when it comes not only to weight loss, but also overall
health and longevity. Fasting also may be a literal lifesaver for patients who
have a heart condition that requires cardiac catheterization – a
procedure in which a long, thin tube is threaded from an artery or vein in the
groin, neck or arm through blood vessels to the heart.
Catheterization may be done to diagnose a cardiovascular
condition, but it also may be done to help treat one, such as in the case of
coronary angioplasty or stenting. Regardless, a patient who requires cardiac
catheterization generally doesn't have an altogether healthy heart, which
increases the risk of a cardiac event such as a heart attack or stroke.
Enter fasting, which research suggests
lowers the risk of heart failure or cardiac-related death in patients who've
undergone catheterization. Among patients tracked for nearly five years
following the procedure, those who fasted on a regular basis were more likely
to survive compared to patients who did not fast. Other factors that could have
impacted survival rates, such as medications, lifestyle behaviors (including
heart healthy vs. risky behaviors) and other health issues were taken into
account.

When I started coming to Dr. Weber I
was having severe and constant low back pain. My chiropractic experience has
been good. My husband comes to Dr. Weber
for neck, also and is doing great. I
would recommend it to others who are in pain or suffering.
