CT Scans Cause Death and Cancer

Radiation from CT scans done in 2007 will cause 29,000 cancers and kill nearly 15,000 Americans, researchers said on Monday. The findings, published in the Archives of Internal Medicine, add to mounting evidence that Americans are overexposed to radiation from diagnostic tests, especially from a specialized kind of X-ray called a computed tomography, or CT, scan.

"What we learned is there is a significant amount of radiation with these CT scans, more than what we thought, and there is a significant number of cancers," said Dr. Rita Redberg, editor of the Archives of Internal Medicine, where the studies were published. "It's estimated that just from the CT scans done in one year, just in 2007, there will be 15,000 excess deaths," Redberg said in a telephone interview.

"We're doing millions of CT scans every year and the numbers are increasing. That is a lot of excess deaths."CT scans give doctors a view inside the body, often eliminating the need for exploratory surgery. But CT scans involve much higher radiation dose than conventional X-rays. A chest CT scan exposes the patient to more than 100 times the radiation dose of a chest X-ray.About 70 million CT scans were done on Americans in 2007, up from 3 million in 1980. Amy Berrington de Gonzalez of the National Cancer Institute and colleagues developed a computer model to estimate the impact of so many scans. They estimated the scans done in 2007 will cause 29,000 cancers. A third of the projected cancers will occur in people who were ages 35 to 54 when they got their CT, two-thirds will occur in women and 15 percent will arise from scans done in children or teens. The researchers estimated there will be an extra 2,000 excess breast cancers just from CT scans done in 2007.

UNNEEDED TESTS: Redberg, who wrote a commentary on the studies, said U.S. doctors' enthusiasm for the tests has led to an explosion in their use that is putting patients at risk. "While certainly some of the scans are incredibly important and life saving, it is also certain that some of them were not necessary," Redberg said. In a separate study, Dr. Rebecca Smith-Bindman of the University of California, San Francisco, and colleagues analyzed data from 1,119 patients undergoing the 11 most common types of diagnostic CT scans at four institutions in 2008. They found radiation dosage varied widely between different types of CT studies, from a median or midpoint of 2 millisieverts for a routine head CT scan to 31 millisieverts for a scan of the abdomen and pelvis, which often involves taking multiple images of the same organ. By comparison, the average American is exposed to about 3 millisieverts of radiation a year from ground radon or flying in an airplane -- a level not considered a risk to health. The researchers said efforts need to be taken to minimize CT radiation exposure, including reducing the number of unnecessary tests, cutting the dose per study, and standardizing the doses across facilities. Imaging equipment makers such as GE Healthcare, Siemens, Philips and Toshiba Medical Systems are working to develop low-dose CT scanners.

Are you ready to ascend in 2010?

***How the Extreme Makeover(s) Has (Have) Changed My Life

When I first started coming to Yachter Family Chiropractic Center, my interest was primarily to reclaim my “Arc of Life” which had pretty much disappeared after a whiplash injury from a motor vehicle accident almost 20 years ago. I was happy just to come in and get my chiropractic adjustments, have my subluxations removed, and sometimes do the exercises. I was feeling better than I had in years simply with the pain relief I experienced in my neck, back, and shoulders. Then I started attending the free educational seminars so kindly offered to all of Dr. Dan’s patients, families, and friends. I started learning new and interesting (and sometimes shocking) information regarding the importance of proper hydration, good supplementation, increasing alkalinity, exercise, and what good nutrition actually is. I waited for an Extreme Makeover event, which I had heard was a pretty amazing and motivating experience for a lot of patients. I started annoying and, I think, scaring, some of my family and friends as I often talked about all the things I was learning, what’s bad for us and what can help us be more healthy. But, I kept on talking; and making a few small changes here and there. It was very interesting stuff.

Finally, an Extreme Makeover was offered, and I attended most of the sessions; and began to learn even more. I caught the excitement of Dr. Dan and the crowd. I started drinking more water. I started sprouting almonds, and liked them. I attended parts of another Extreme Makeover, and started eating more vegetables and using sea salt. I attended most of another and started trying to shop more organically largely from Whole Foods, heavily utilizing their fresh prepared foods section, because I don’t cook much. I stopped needing to use Celebrex, which I had used for at least ten years. I signed up with Triumvirate, which I can tell you, is really spot-on with the services they provide. And I kept telling my friends about all of the new and amazing things I continued to learn. My morning coffee break conversation was constantly peppered with “guess what I learned at my chiropractor’s?” and “my chiropractor said…”

I attended another Extreme Makeover, and decided I was ready to get serious. I work in a hospital and made a commitment to take the stairs every time I descend floors, since I have problems with my knees and going up can be painful. I use the Xiser, even though I am not sure I am doing the bursts exactly right, but I’m not letting that stop me. I am taking more walks, breaking out my little dumbbells, and using my Lifestyle Family Fitness personal training sessions to learn better how to exercise at home. I’ve started cooking again after a 15 year hiatus. Because my work and schedule don’t allow for planning my shopping and food prep, I’m doing the best I can; and actually beginning to find that I, surprisingly, do have more time to do this than I thought. I’m still working on strategies for eating better when I travel, of which I do a lot, but Dr. Fernandez at the office is helping me with that. I’m having Vega for breakfast and using several of the office supplements which were recommended for me. I have finally worked my way up to drinking almost half my body weight in ounces of water. I’ve given up coffee, though I still love the smell and the fellowship around the break room table. I declined the very heavily promoted annual flu vaccination for the first time since working in a medical environment, as well as the H1N1 vaccination. My Visual Acuity Score, coupled with some recommended blood work, indicated some possible heavy metal exposure, so I am having testing for that, and Triumvirate is scheduling extraction of my silver/mercury fillings (Rick and Adam are also helping to keep me on track as I am working on retirement and estate planning, which I had severely neglected previously and was causing me significant anxiety). Right now I am eating Cocommune PaleoBars regularly as a snack instead of something out of the vending machines. I’m not a hundred percent off sugar, but I am getting there. It is surprising to me how the craving for sugar lessens over time. And as of today, I’ve gone down a pant size during this EMO.

I continue to pester my family and friends with all of the new things I am learning, but I am starting to see small changes in them as well. My daughter and son-in-law, as well as a coworker, are starting to use sea salt. My brother actually listened and asked questions this weekend as I explained why corn and white potatoes, the only vegetables he likes, are harmful for him. He expressed a reluctant (but hey, I’ll take what I can get) willingness to try mashed cauliflower in place of mashed potatoes, so we are planning to try that soon. Another coworker was impressed enough with my information tidbits, and watching my gradual lifestyle changes and pants-size-dropping, that she said she wants to come to the next Extreme Makeover with me.

Yes, I need to continue to work at this, to persist in solidifying and expanding on the good habits I have been acquiring. My story is not as dramatic as some: I did not lose thirty pounds, go off all my medications and have all my family and friends start chiropractic care. I still have weight to lose and medicines to discontinue as I continue to pursue better health. I still have friends and family yet to convince to try many of the lifestyle changes I am embracing. But as they say, slow and steady finishes the race, and that is my intent. I am thankful to have a doctor with such a well-rounded practice who is so committed to his practice and his patients that he never gives up on us. He runs with us, shops with us, and constantly offers the same basic life-altering content in ever fresh and fun ways so that over time we can finally “get it”. I think I’ve almost got it! And it’s good.

Chains be broken, lives be healed!

RAY CASTRO’S EXTREME MAKEOVER
How Our Lives Changed in Just 2 ½ Months!

I was not planning to submit an essay for the Extreme Makeover contest. However, after attending last night’s Week 5 session, I realized how much Dr. Yachter’s program has impacted our lives. Session 5 was on how to read product labels and determine good and bad products. The next morning I began cleaning out our pantry, cupboards, and refrigerator of all bad products. We had been overturning many of our food items already, but I had not gone through everything and still had lots of bad stuff in the house. After I finished, I was not expecting to see the crazy sight piled at the front door: almost 20 bags and boxes of food that were toxic to our cells.
I just sat staring at all the bags and tears of joy rolled down my face – I realized that our lives and the lives of our children and grandchildren would never be the same again. They would be lives of health! Our blended family consists of 6 grown children and 7 grandchildren. Due to my partner Ray’s commitment to health through Dr. Yachter’s programs, everyone in the family has been impacted; from stopping immunizations, to changes in nutrition, body care, environmental products, and of course chiropractic care.

Ray evangelizes Dr. Yachter’s programs to everyone he meets; family, friends, coworkers, even strangers!

I am so grateful to Ray’s commitment to all of Dr. Yachter’s programs. Our families will benefit for generations to come. That’s why I felt compelled to write our story – well, really Ray’s story, because he inspired me so much through Dr. Yachter and his programs!

BACKGROUND: I met Ray over five years ago – he was plagued with multiple medical conditions. He told me how healthy and active he was most of his life, but all that changed when at 40, Ray underwent surgery to remove his thyroid due to a tumor. This set off a host of medical conditions, addressed with conventional medications, which caused more problems: high blood pressure, low potassium, sleep apnea, severe headaches, failing vision, increase in his chronic arrhythmia (the doctors wanted to put a pacemaker in him), anxiety, low energy, gas, nausea, swelling, joint pain and more. Nutrition was barely addressed by his medical doctors. The answer was always another prescription. Ray felt lousy most of the time for the last 15 years!
JULY 2009: So there we were, two young-minded, yet obese grandparents, feeling the aging process negatively impacting our lives. Aches and pains impeding our once active lifestyles. How had we turned into two Couch Potatoes, watching TV every night, eating bad food, and then sleeping restlessly, only to awake with low energy, and more aches and pains? During 2009, Ray ended up in the hospital three times. Batteries of tests were performed with no real conclusions for the cause of his ailments. His doctor increased his blood pressure medication, which exacerbated his problems.
AUGUST 2009: Then the storm hit… or should I say, the blessing came, complete with a rainbow and Pot-O-Gold! In August of 2009, Ray went on a business trip overseas and ended up in the hospital again. When he came home, he had respiratory problems and anxiety so bad he couldn’t go to work. His doctor admitted him to the hospital for a “few” tests. They kept him for three days to perform tests then released him with Xanax and Paxil, and a list of other doctors to see and tests to take.
Our lives had become a nightmare. Ray was panicked to be alone – he couldn’t sleep more than a couple hours at a time - his blood pressure was through the roof – he had anxiety so bad, he couldn’t breathe – he kept feeling like he was underwater – he had severe headaches – his arrhythmia was constant - he was in so much anguish – we couldn’t do anything or go anywhere…
After about a month of this surreal craziness, he was referred to Dr. Yachter by Carmen Betances who is a patient of Dr. Yachter. We are so grateful to her for telling Ray about Dr. Yachter! It was unfortunate that Ray had to endure such hardship, but the blessing is that we found Dr. Yachter, our Pot-O-Gold!!!

Rebuilding the temple

My name is Deanna Waller and I have been going to Dr. Yachter for over two months. I was introduced to his practice through a friend of mine and patient of his. I had chronic back pain in the thoracic region due to work related wear and tear. I had lived with it for years for many reasons. First of which I can't stand medications and I didn't want them. Second, I wanted a cure for the problem, not a short lived fix for the symptom. And lastly, because I procrastinate when it comes to my health! My mom had always told me that Chiropractors were quacks and not to trust them. When I went to my first assessment I was very leery and skeptical. By the second visit I met Dr. Dan and was impressed by his knowledge base. Now it is important to note here my family thinks I have somewhat of an addictive personality and that I put all my eggs in one basket. In other words, I am extreme when it comes to things I'm passionate about. I plainly view myself as one who is a truth seeker and once I discover it, that settles it. So after hearing Dr. Dan's lecture, I knew I was in good hands and I had to take advantage of this opportunity.

I had been praying for healing in my body because I am one of the rare Christians who believes it is God's will to heal ALL the time. So there I was watching, listening, and now working out my healing with fear and trembling! It's not easy, but I jumped on board and figured it was sink or swim time. Since I started with Dr. Dan, I have nearly lost ten pounds and the back pain has resided. I also have become an ambassador so that I can share the truth about healing with others just as I do about God's Truth regarding Salvation.

I have attended several of the free workshops and received lots of information on how to improve my well being. I also joined the walk/run club and have been going for three consecutive weeks after being challenged to do so in the Extreme Makeover. I have completely changed my diet and have incorporated many of the supplements they offer in the office into my daily routine. I have met many different people and heard many different testimonies encouraging me to keep plowing forward. Unfortunately, not everyone was as excited as me. My family thinks I'm a bit of a health nut and most of my co-workers look at me funny, but I know I'm taking a step in the right direction.

I feel God has led me to Dr. Yachter’s office to receive my healing and although I'm still not pain-free, I know it's just a matter of time. This has been a pivotal transformation for me and it inspires me to know that there are others out there with the same objective. There is nothing more rewarding than to know you are fulfilling your responsibility when it comes to taking care of your temple.

I look forward to learning more and achieving future goals because now I truly see there are “NO LIMITS”!!!!!
Thanks to Dr Yachter, Dr Leif, Dr Fernandez and all the behind the scenes staff at the office for their time and efforts to change the lives of those around them and to fight the good fight!

Chiropractic doesn’t cure CANCER!

This week another patient at Yachter Family Chiropractic Center (YFCC) has been cleared of their cancer diagnosis. In July 2009, Sue had a cancerous tumor the size of a tennis ball surgically removed from her colon. The oncologists recommended chemotherapy to get the rest of the cancer that was left behind. Sue took 2 chemotherapy treatments and then decided to quit and look for a natural route.
Sue found our office by way of fellow church members. She began care at Yachter Family Chiropractic in July. She immediately enrolled in the Extreme Makeover, began receiving chiropractic adjustments (enhanced nerve supply), adhering to the healing diet (alkalized with Supergreens and started a vitamin/supplementation/detoxification regimen), lots of prayer, and she also implemented many stress management strategies taught at YFCC.

Last week Sue’s CAT Scan showed NO CANCER. This case has been medically documented and the fact that Sue’s ‘alternative’ strategies healed her body is irrefutable. Her oncologist has expressed that he isn’t happy that she took a natural route, in spite of the reality that her body is healed. To date, Sue has lost 31 pounds (over the last 4 months), and is now happy to be healthy for the first time in her life!

Want more information on how this happened?
Then attend week #5 of the Extreme Makeover!

Remember, ONLY THE POWER THAT MADE THE BODY CAN HEAL THE BODY. Sue’s BODY HEALED BECAUSE OF THE POWER THAT GOD PLACED INSIDE OF HER BODY WAS ABLE TO FINALLY EXPRESS ITSELF WITHOUT INTERFERENCE. Chiropractic has never healed one disease. Only the POWER can!

No More Cancer

Thursday, November 12, 2009

Keep on keepin' on!

How the Extreme Makeover has changed my life
This writing is about my journey to improve my body, soul, mind and wisdom for my own and for my family’s health. My father passed away at the age of 55 from complications of hypertension and diabetes. I have been struggling with high blood pressure for 17 years. I know I am putting myself at risk if I do not control this blood pressure.
In 2003 and 2005 I became pregnant. Because of my health problems, I had two miscarriages. After that, I started gaining weight and my stomach blew up like a balloon. In 2006, I became pregnant again. Because of my health conditions, I had several problems during my pregnancy- high blood pressure (out of control), gestational diabetes (took insulin shots twice per day), edema, and toxemia. On April 12, 2007, during a routine check-up, my husband and I received the most horrifying news: my baby was not moving properly and her heart rate was dropping. I was rushed to the triage. I was admitted into the hospital and placed on bed rest. We found out the complications were because of my high blood pressure. My due date was May 21, 2007. April 16th, 2007 my pressure started going up again, so my doctor decided to induced my baby. On April 17, 2007, I delivered a baby girl 4lbs., 15oz, Trinity Grace. My husband and I plan on expanding our family within the next few years. Not only do I want to get healthy before having another baby, I need to.
After the birth of my daughter, I tried just about every fad diet out there. I would lose 10-20 pounds here and there, but I would always gain it back- plus some. One day I was talking to God and I asked, “Why am I struggling with high blood pressure, why can’t I lose weight, and why is my stomach so big?” I told God something is not right. I asked him to give me the wisdom and knowledge I needed to deal with these issues in my life. The same day I walked into Dr. Dan’s office and asked him what I needed to do to lose my baby weight and lower my blood pressure. Dr. Dan told me I needed to get adjusted, start the healing diet, and come to the Extreme Makeover classes. I never learned the correct way to eat until I started the Healing diet and attended the Extreme Makeover classes. My decision to join the Extreme Makeover and start the healing diet was an easy one. I have many goals for motivation: like looking good in a bathing suit, having more energy, but the most important goal for me is learning all I can in the Extreme Makeover classes so I help my family and other people I know.
On March 11th, 2009, I went to the doctor for a check-up, because the week before I was having problems with my blood pressure. When my doctor checked my pressure, she asked, “What are you doing, because your pressure is good today and you are losing weight”. That day my pressure was 130/80. I was so amazed, because my blood pressure has not been that low for 17 years. I told her about the healing diet and the extreme makeover. I have been on the Healing diet for about 5 weeks. I have lost about 7lbs and I am regaining my confidence and self-esteem and I have more energy than I’ve ever had. My 15-year high school reunion is approaching and 5 months ago I wasn’t planning on attending, but now I think I am.
Since I started the extreme makeover, I have a daily routine: I walk on the treadmill for 1 hour (3 days/wk.) and two days I run and walk on the track. I am still going to continue with the healing diet once the classes are over. With hard work, dedication, and support there is no excuse for failure. As a Christian, I have faith. Faith is believing all things are possible.

I AM SO PROUD OF EVERY EXTREME MAKEOVER PARTICIPANT FOR YOUR TOTAL COMMITMENT TO TRANSFORM YOUR LIFE---BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT. YOUR FOCUS AND ENGAGEMENT OVER THE LAST 3 WEEKS HAS BEEN AWESOME! 3 MORE WEEKS TO GO IN THE PROGRAM, THEN A LIFETIME OF GOOD LIVING. THE CHANGES THAT YOU HAVE MADE ARE HONORING YOURSELF, YOUR FAMILY & FRIENDS, BUT MAINLY GOD.
KEEP ON KEEPIN’ ON!

*WEEK #4 of the Extreme Makeover will be held Monday night, November 9, @7pm at the Lake Mary Events Center. The topic will be focused on toxicity, its effects, and detoxification/healing strategies. Don’t miss it…it’ll be awesome. There are 3 more nights left in this 6 week program; more than enough time to have your life transformed.

Still not too late!

Dr. Dan,
I just wanted to take a moment to let you know how much I appreciate your chiropractic care and the difference it has made in my life. I have been in 2 major auto accidents. The first one was about 12 years ago. Keeping it short, I tried every kind of rehabilitation and specialist there was in medicine. Trying to find answers and not accepting my condition as final. Not to mention all the medications and drugs I was on to try to live a somewhat normal life. The side effects were evident as well. After a year or two and getting 2nd and 3rd opinions, one medical doctor, as a final resort, said you may want to try a chiropractor.
At the time money was tight and I didn't try to find a chiropractor for about another year. I tried chiropractor care and found some relief. Because I have moved several times and have tried to find a chiropractor on each occasion, I have been to 7, yes, 7 chiropractors that I can remember. Most of them I was going regularly for more than a year.
Well, after getting some relief from all this care, I was still having to take medication periodically and could never leave home without aspirin. I’ve found one of the best chiropractors with you. I have not had to take any medication and feel the best I have felt in years. I don't wake up in pain and start the day like I used to years ago. I am excited about the difference you have made in the quality of my life. You have the best equipment in your office to help your patients and it is evident that your heart is truly to make a difference. I am excited about the things that you teach nutritionally and I’m looking forward to learning more. Not to mention being over all healthier, feeling better, being more rested, and energetic.
Dr. Dan, be encouraged in what you are doing and know that you are making more of a difference than you may even realize. The choice is with your patients wanting to make progressive changes and not selling out for many of THE LIES IN THE MEDICAL INDUSTRY. I take every opportunity to let the community know there is another choice for better health! Thank You Dr. Dan for your passion and heart to make a difference!
God Bless!

Did you miss it?

As I near the completion of yet another Extreme Makeover, it’s time to reflect on where I started, where I am now and where I want to be in the future. Well, it all started back on a November afternoon in 1956. I was born a twin weighing 2 lbs, 3 oz. and given less than an hour to live. Oh, that’s too far back!
I will backtrack five years to the point in my life where I had my gall bladder removed and four months later, my thyroid. At 47, I felt like I was OLD and spent much of the next year trying to figure out how to change my life. Fortunately, I found Dr. Dan and YFCC. Almost immediately, my migraine headaches stopped and other various ailments gradually disappeared. I never missed my adjustments and did my exercises, but something was still missing. When I signed up for my first Extreme Makeover, I realized what it was. It was time to take control of my life even more and learn all I could. That’s why I keep attending these events; so that I can educate myself to live a longer life than my parents – Mom died at 71 and Dad, 11 months later, at 70 years old. I also don’t want to end up in an Assisted Living Facility like my twin brother or take medications like my sister. Attending these Extreme Makeovers are my lifeline.
This particular EMO has been the most enjoyable, and when you participate and have fun, you retain more of the life-saving information that’s given out each week. At the beginning of the EMO, I weighed in at 174 pounds, which was bad enough, but the real shocker was my body fat percentage. I was 43.8% FAT and my BMI showed I was obese. This was totally not acceptable. It’s amazing how your eyes get opened when you see the numbers on paper. How did I let myself get like this again? I knew I had to put in the time to really do it right, and permanently this time. I took advantage of the special pricing afforded the members of the EMO and joined Lifestyle Family Fitness. My main purpose was for resistance/weight training. I knew I had the cardiovascular exercise covered since I walk, run, and ride my bike. I’ve been averaging at least 48 miles per week with my bike group and participate in the YFCC Run/Walk Club on Saturday mornings. The weight training has been challenging, but I’m seeing results already. According to the Tanita measurements, I’ve reduced my body fat and plan to keep going with this program until I get down to where I need to be. I still have a long way to go, but with Dr. Dan’s support, I know it will happen one day.
Five years ago, even three years ago, I never would have believed that I’d complete three 5k’s, a 10k, a 15k, a half-marathon, and the Disney marathon or that I’d be riding my bike and preparing to ride a 38 mile road race at the end of March; or that I would’ve had the confidence to actually climb the Rock Wall on a cruise ship. In my old life, I would’ve just stood aside and watched others doing it. I actually can’t believe how my life has changed, even now. It’s even better since I’ve met some good friends who share the same goals with me. Participating in the Extreme Makeovers has changed my life forever. Because of all I’ve learned about proper nutrition, I’ll never view food the same way again. I try to educate others around me as I see them put 7 sugars in their coffee or eating Mickey-D’s for breakfast each morning. They don’t listen, but it doesn’t stop me from trying to share all I’ve learned whenever an opportunity arises. And sometimes, they do listen.
Label reading, proper supplementation, and using green cleaning/personal care products will always be a part of my life. Maybe ignorance was bliss, because I can never go back to the way I was. This is my journey from here on out. After 52 years, I’m finally happy with my life and plan on being around for another 50 years, utilizing all I’ve learned at Extreme Makeovers and getting my all-important, life-saving adjustments. Thanks for changing my life forever. NO LIMITS!

Health, wealth, and happiness!

My journey to HEALTH, WEALTH AND HAPPINESS:
Health has always been a passion of mine. When I was in my twenties, I spent a lot of time in a nursing home with my dad, and at that time decided I never wanted to end up like that. So, my quest for health has always been of great importance to me.
I must say it has never been quite as intense as now through the Extreme Makeover. I am so amazed to continually learn more and more. Just when I thought I knew it all. I am being forced to go another couple of levels higher to greater health with just enough support to motivate me further. As I think back, this is something I’ve only dreamed of having. To have the knowledge of Dr. Dan and the support of the whole team, I am in awe. I am so thankful. This isn’t to say this has not been quite the challenge. Unless your back is against the wall, you really don’t step up to the plate. My journey here has been quite difficult at times. There have been times when I really wanted some chocolate and sugar, times while going through the Detoxification and wanting to break; however, I just stayed focused on the results because I know there is a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.
As hard as I have tried on my own for good health, without the knowledge I am receiving, I could not have achieved it alone. I didn’t realize the need for cleansing at a cellular level. I have worked with chemicals all my life and I so much enjoy the activities in my life and plan to continue them all until I’m way into my nineties. So, in my opinion, there is no other choice, but to work hard through it all, because I win the prize in the end. The prize is good health. You can have all the money in the world and if you don’t have your health, you don’t have anything.
Good health enables you to do the things you’ve dreamed of doing. It gives you a quality of life that is incomparable to anything else. It allows you freedom, which can speak volumes; freedom to be the helper, rather than the one being helped; freedom not only physically, but mentally and emotionally, too. Good health to me is the way God intended it to be. It sets an example for others. It encourages others, and gives hope to them. It’s stepping out and being different from others. I’ve always said yes, I am over the top with my health and nutritious way, but I win in the end.
I am truly thankful for our very giving Dr. Dan. He is definitely over the top, too. It’s good to know there are others wanting and desiring the same goal. Thank you Dr. Dan and thank you staff. You all work together as a great team.

T-MINUS 7 DAYS

Dear Doctor Dan,
I was brought by my wife Nancy to a community dinner. To be honest with you, I really didn’t want to come. I fought with her every step of the way. I was mad when I got there and told her there was no way I could be helped. I had tried everything and all they did was hurt me even more, so I thought this was also a waste of my time and hers. As I sat through the meeting and I saw how Dr. Dan was so passionate and his heart was into what he was saying, I figured I would give him a chance. I was not sure I could be helped and I was tired of being hurt and didn’t want to go through it all over again. I thought I was going to live with the pain the rest of my life. But I was wrong and my new life was just beginning.
The reason I participated in the EXTREME MAKEOVER was because of Nancy and I guess there was hope that some of my pain would be relieved. I just wanted to feel better and be able to live life without pain and be able to do what I wanted to do without hurting. I wanted my life back.
As far as achieving my goal, I have gone further than I ever expected. I cannot believe the changes in my body, my mind, my heart, and my soul. I have surpassed every goal I set for myself. I have lost weight, my headraces are gone, my eyesight is much better, and I can walk without pain in my legs, back and neck. I feel like I’m twenty-nine again. I can run again without being out of breath due to my old weight. I have more energy than I have ever had before. I need half the sleep than before. My joints feel so much better. I have lost 70 pounds. I am down to a 34 waist from a 44 waist. I’m happier. I have a better marriage. My quality of life is awesome. I have a new outlook on life thanks to Dr. Dan!
Dr. Dan and staff: I could never begin to thank you for all your support and help. Dr. Dan, you have totally changed my life – and all for the better. I am not a miserable person anymore because of my pain. You have taken it from me and I will never be able to thank you or show you enough how I feel about you. You have changed my life and I will never forget that as long as I live. Thank you for sharing all of your knowledge with us and I hope to learn more.
Before meeting Dr. Dan, I was injured on a job. There was a toolbox dropped on my head and it weighed 75 lbs. It decompressed my spine and ruptured four disks in my neck and two in my upper back and two in my lower. It was very painful and I was on meds. for four months, but didn’t like how they made me feel. I could hardly pick up anything over 8 pounds. The MD told me I would need my neck operated on and I refused. Then they said I would have to live with it for the rest of my life. They were totally wrong thanks to Dr. Dan.
Dr. Dan, you have changed my life and have given me new hope and a better way of life and I could never repay you for what you have done. You are a very caring man to give so much of your time to help others. God has given you a special talent and I so glad He has. You have added so much joy and love into our life. It will remain with us the rest of our lives and close to our hearts.
THANKS AGAIN DOCTOR AND ALL OF YOUR STAFF & GOD BLESS
Edward T. Allen

ACRES OF DIAMONDS

Russell Conwell helped to transform a night school in a church basement in Philadelphia into Temple University. He did it by retelling a story that was told to him while in a camel caravan in Mesopotamia. It was a story about Al Hafed, a very wealthy farmer in ancient Persia. Al Hafed was living his dream life until one day a Buddhist priest visited him and during their conversation told him how the world was formed. The old priest also told Al Hafed about diamonds and that if he had a handful of diamonds he could purchase a whole country. With a mine of diamonds he could place his children upon thrones through the influence of their great wealth.

That night Al Hafed went to bed a poor man -- not that he had lost anything. He was poor because he was discontented and discontented because he thought he was poor. After a sleepless night, he arose early the next morning and told the priest of his desire to be immensely rich. After a lengthy conversation the priest told him that he would find diamonds in a river that runs over white sand between high mountains. Al Hafed sold his farm, collected his money, left his family in the charge of a neighbor, and began his search for diamonds.

After years of exhaustive search throughout Palestine and across Europe, penniless, ragged and wretched, he threw himself into the incoming tide off the coast of Spain never to rise again.

In the meantime, back at the farm, Al Hafed’s successor, while giving his camel a drink from the stream that ran through the property, found a black stone with an eye of light that reflected all the colors of the rainbow. The stone turned out to be a diamond. And so were discovered the diamond mines of Golconda, the most magnificent diamond mines in the history of mankind; exceeding the Kimberley mines in value. Had Al Hafed remained at home and in his own garden, instead of wretchedness, starvation, poverty and death in a strange land, he would have had "acres of diamonds.” Every shovelful of that old farm has since revealed the gems which have decorated the crowns of monarchs. The most amazing and tragic element of this story is the fact that we have so many modern day Al Hafeds wandering around looking for their acres of diamond everywhere except in the backyard of their own mind.

Change your Perspective

One of the valuable lessons taught by this incredible story is one of perspective. How do you see your EXPERIENCE at Yachter Family Chiropractic Center? The gem stones are the perspectives you develop over time as a result of seeing YOUR world more clearly. When you see yourself more clearly, you see yourself as someone who is valuable and has limitless healing and life potential. As we say at the office, NO LIMITS. This attitude of believing and desiring for the best outcomes and the highest level of healing are all reflected in your actions. This positive perspective also motivates you and compels you to act with a clearly defined purpose; a purpose of accomplishing the goals of our best healing recommendations for you and your family.

Opportunities are dressed in work clothes

Your greatest opportunities lie under your own feet. They lie in your ability and willingness to commit to the resources and knowledge that are offered at Yachter Family Chiropractic Center. The challenge is that in the rough, a diamond does not look like a diamond that we are familiar with. It looks like a black, rough piece of rock and must be cut, shaped and polished repeatedly before it glistens like the valuable stone that it is.

The Al Hafed patients in our practice are waiting around for their healing to turn up. They are looking for the easy way out; missing weekly scheduled chiropractic adjustments, skipping out on doing their exercises, not attending invaluable workshops and Extreme Makeover events, making every excuse possible not to attend our “6:45am” life-transforming run/walk club on Saturdays, or thinking that we’re trying to sell them products when we’re trying to provide them with life-saving and transforming nutritional resources. They fail to realize that their acres of diamonds represent an opportunity for them to learn and work hard to achieve and reap a life-long level of superior health and wellness; so they can enjoy the life that God created for them and reach their divine destiny.

Keep on keeping on! You’re getting closer every day!

TIC V. TOR

A heart-felt thank you goes out to every patient of Yachter Family Chiropractic Center. I appreciate you allowing me to travel. My time away was meaningful.
The purpose of my trip was 3 fold. Firstly, I was invited to the New Zealand School of Chiropractic Lyceum (homecoming weekend) to speak and share regarding practice/clinical excellence. Secondly, I was exposed to instructors who are considered some of the greatest minds in chiropractic. I was not only a teacher but a student as well. Dr. Reggie Gold, Dr. Gerry Clum, Dr. Bruce Lipton, and Dr. Brian Kelley are a few who spoke and are considered among the greatest names in our profession. They know more about healing, saving lives, and running high quality, patient focused practices than anybody in the world. Thirdly, my reason for traveling throughout New Zealand & Australia with my wife was for a much needed refreshing and rejuvenating. Because of it, you now have a well-rested, clear-minded, more focused and passionate chiropractor on your hands. I have not had a few weeks “off” in over 16 years. After regularly working 16-18 hour days, I believe it was well earned.
Why am I sharing this with you? You should know that there is always a major reason for me being away from the office. It is ultimately to become a more effective and confident clinician. It is to continue to grow, learn, expand, and become the best healer possible. Sharing my knowledge and skills with other chiropractors is critical for a few reasons: it allows me to help them become better doctors, for these doctors to serve their communities with the best available resources, and as the teachers/speaker/example, it forces and holds me accountable to walk my talk and really strive to be consistent and congruent regarding what I’m teaching versus what is happening within my practice.
With all of that being said, time out the office for Dr. Dan, the chiropracTOR will only serve to deliver the highest quality care to you, the patient. Rest assured, while I’m away, Dr. Leif, or any adjusting doctor at that time, will continue to deliver the same level of care and will continue to perform an excellent service. They are just as well-trained and are exceptionally talented. Techniques, styles, & touches vary, but competence is always of the utmost. Any doctor that I leave to care for you & your family is fully equipped and expertly trained to remove subluxation and to optimize neurological function.
While many patients were happy to hear of my journey, several were not. Most patients complain to me that I work too hard and never take time off. So, they were pleased with my long absence. Many patients were counting the days for my return due to their attachment with my ‘way’ of adjusting, technique, and approach. If you were one of these patients, please remember, as I travel in the future to bring you the highest quality care, it is never about the chiropracTOR, it’s about the chiropracTIC. Whether I’m in the office or not, your subluxations need to be removed. Your baby’s subluxations still need to be adjusted. Your chiropractic care needs to continue no matter what. You body requires a healthy functioning nerve system every day of the year!
Thank you for your continued trust and confidence in our office to serve your family. Thank you for making chiropracTIC an absolutely vital part of getting healthy and staying healthy for life.

X marks the spot

“TELL ME AND I’LL FORGET. SHOW ME AND I’LL REMEMBER LEAD ME AND I’LL BE TRANSFORMED!”

Traveling throughout New Zealand and Australia over the last 3 weeks has been fascinating. Mindy and I have visited a large amount of the North Island of New Zealand as well as a good ‘chunk’ of Australia, including Queensland (rainforests, The Great Barrier Reef, & a small part of the Outback) and Sydney in New South Wales.

One of the things that I’m always cautious about when traveling is to make sure I know exactly where I’m headed when trying to reach a destination. Whether stopping at a gas station, asking a hotel concierge, or asking any local, I never feel settled with just getting oral/verbal directions. I’m not even satisfied with a map itself. Really, what I strive for, when possible and short of driving the locals mad or risk, at a bare minimum, an irritated look, is for a personal escort or practically hand holding to my destination. I literally ask them to walk me down the street to show exactly where my destination may be. I know it sounds extreme, but I don’t put that much trust in my memory or even a written map of a terrain/city that I know nothing about; even if the street names and numbers are spelled out in perfect English. After I have been lead to the destination, there will never be a problem finding it again. I now know what it takes!

Our health, being much more important than travel, should not only have its own map, but a leader to lead through various landscapes and terrain. Well, the good news is that Yachter Family Chiropractic Center has constructed the map along with phenomenal leaders to guide you to your health summit. There is no guess work. There’s no speculation. There’s no need for frustration, anxiety, fear, and self-doubt. We will never let you wander. We will never let you get lost. We will never let you stray off course. We will always show up 100% for you, here to give you all the support and attention that you need. We will literally handhold you until we get to the mountaintop. Whatever it takes to see to it that your family receives the best and heals at their highest level.

The following is the typical trajectory that an exception patient follows at YFCC. This path will take you to the greatest heights imaginable. This strategy will give you the map along with the leaders that will help you overcome the most intimidating struggle or reach the most challenging destination:

*Map 1 patient: Attended doctor’s report/orientation, getting adjusted, doing exercises and stretches, not missing visits, reading newsletters, watching videos. *Map 2 patient: Referring others in, filling out consult cards on a regular basis, bringing people to community dinners, bringing friends and family to the EMO, have attended workshops regularly, have had all family members checked (our clinical research has found that when you help other get well, you will heal faster) *Map 3 patient: Member of run/walk club, member of online membership site, attending special speaker workshops, forwarding e-mails to friends and family around the world, handing out newsletters, listening to radio show, have been evaluated through detox program, attending pot luck dinners/cooking demonstrations, achieving great nerve system/spinal correction. *Map 4 patient: Have filled out a testimonial or performed video testimonial, have been to 6 or more workshops (10%) wellness plan reduction, have been on the radio or infomercial, bringing multiple people to patient appreciation days and sitting with them in the orientation, have invited me to speak to their organization, church, temple, business, school, or club, not vaccinating their children, on weekly conference calls during Extreme Makeover (EMO), Extreme Makeover champion, bringing people to our mall cart to get spinal screening on weekends, EMO sponsor. *Map 5 patient – This patient has been to multiple EMO events (massive health & life transformations by this point), workshops, starting to volunteer at events, have referred up to 30 new patients, these patients are writing their own newsletters, writing letters to their congress people complaining about the medical system and not enough access to chiropractic care, protesting vaccines, e-mailing 10 times/day begging me to work harder, they are leading the run/walk club, these patients are spinal screening for YFCC, regularly referring loved ones to other affiliate offices throughout the world.

Want to get to MAP 5 quickly? Then join us this Wednesday, Sept. 9th @ YFCC at 7pm. for our Swine Flu vaccine workshop. Boost your family’s safety, become self-reliant, & learn to beat the Swine Flu. Come to learn the most cutting edge strategies that will also deliver maximum vitality, longevity, and support for your brain-body connection. Register at the front desk or call 407-333-2277. Seating is very limited!

THE NEW OBAMA HEALTHCARE PLAN

Just today President Barack Obama made an announcement that he’s constructed a powerful healthcare plan that he believes will not only save the U.S. trillions of dollars, but more importantly millions of lives. The plan calls for every citizen in America to visit a Maximized Living (M.L.) doctor on a weekly basis. The reason: prevention and pro-activeness is at the foundation of what M.L. doctors believe and practice. And he stated, “by every American participating in the 5 essentials, our country will see radical healthcare savings as well as massive improvements in health, wellness, and vitality”.

The plan more specifically calls for weekly chiropractic adjustments to optimize the brain-body connection, enhance neurological integrity, thus supporting optimal, God-given healing potential & performance. By doing this weekly, Obama feels that America, collectively expressing spectacular levels of health, will be able to fulfill its calling and purpose as a world leader.

Obama also recommends that every American attends at least one Extreme Makeover event each year. He said he’d like to see more, but to start with he’ll only be mandating attendance at one event/yr. for now. He believes that the 5 essentials (minimizing toxins, maximizing nutrition, maximizing nerve supply, maximizing oxygenation & movement, & maximizing life management) will be the solution that every man, women, child, and baby is looking for. He said he feels so strongly about essential #3 (maximizing nerve supply) that he will be mandating that every hospital has a chiropractor on staff to immediately check all babies following the birthing process. He states that there is nothing more important to the survival of a newborn baby than the health of their upper-cervical area (occiput/atlas). He has stated that science has shown time & again that when a baby can develop without subluxation (neurological disturbance), the healthcare costs are enormous. He has stated that ultimately this “small” investment in time and resources will produce a more productive, efficient, wealthier, and happier society.

Within the new “5 essentials” plan, there are provisions to establish 100 new chiropractic schools each year to handle the revised, estimated number of chiropractors required to serve the country’s needs. Obama projects that an additional 100,000 chiropractors will be needed over the next 5 years in order to effectively serve the public’s needs.

Since the news of Obama’s “essentials” program hit the street, Americans have expressed excitement regarding the prospect of going to a doctor who doesn’t drug them to death, but who looks for the cause of their sickness and disease and knows how to provide the resources that produce health and wellness. The people are excited to learn about things that will get and keep them well like chiropractic adjustments, detoxification, nutrition, fitness, & life-management. The public is certainly demonstrating and voicing that they are sick and tired of being sick and tired and are ready for real doctors, who deliver real results.

Also, Obama has recently made the statement that in light of all of the recent controversy and negative data published, he has insisted that all vaccination programs be eliminated immediately. He has commented that after much personal study and evaluation, the only conclusion he can draw is vaccines are destructive and their poisons upon entering the human blood stream spawn sickness, disease, and in many cases death.”

(My prediction: one day soon, this fantasy will become reality.)

This historical event will expose the neurological, hematological, and immunological evidence supporting the conclusion that all vaccines carry the risk of major injury leading to chronic diseases and disorders including, but not limited to Autism. The forensic evidence, as he states, is now as easy as "come see for your self." He will explain the mechanism of injury and show evidence that when you "dump" into the blood, it causes Blood Sludging, which can lead to ischemic strokes and many problems plaguing our children. His findings are now in the US Vaccine courts.
You will not want to miss this historical event where the science cannot be denied and the truth about toxic vaccines will be exposed!

Dr. Moulden will cover the physiological and neurological facts about vaccines, the effects they have on blood flow and neurodevelopment, and how they lead to the diseases we're seeing today like autism, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, learning disorders, bi-polar, seizures, and many, many other diseases of the New Millennium.
"Dr. Moulden will cover the care and protocols for effectively allowing victims of these diseases to heal and recover."

A Second Chance

Harry S. Truman once said, “It’s what you learn after you know it all that counts.” Well, I thought I had already learned all I needed to know from the past 2 Extreme Makeover events that I attended, but decided I would participate in this one to hear the new information that was being promoted. I learned more than I ever wanted to know and find it totally amazing that I’m still alive and in good health after 50 years of chemicals, mercury fillings, processed foods, & subluxation, etc. Ignorance is bliss, but now that I know better. I must make changes in my life if I want to live longer than my parents, who died at 70 (Dad) and 71 (Mom). The past 5 weeks flew by and I only just started the Healing Diet in week 4. I think my brain was still trying to process all of the incredible information that it was absorbing. The Twinkie demonstration will stay in my memory forever! The biggest transformations have been in the “stuff” that’s not seen. I have my carotid arteries checked every 2 years by ultrasound for my own peace of mind since I don’t want to end up in a wheelchair from strokes like my twin brother. Anyway, 2 years ago they showed “mild” plaque build-up. The results of the ultrasound I took 3 weeks ago showed no plaque at all, so I know I’m going in the right direction. I intend to continue this lifestyle forever even though it’s made me an outcast among friends and family who think I’m crazy. I do try my hardest to educate them so they’ll understand why I do what I do (chiropractic adjustments, exercise, supplements, proper nutrition, & detoxification). Thanks so much to Dr. Dan and his staff for their outstanding dedication and passion for bringing the Maximized Living lifestyle to this community.

THE EXTREME MAKEOVER COMETH!

“Committing to the six week extreme makeover challenge was probably the best thing I could have done both for my physical and also for my emotional and mental health. I have never been diagnosed with a chronic or serious health condition, but have struggled with various minor ailments such as mood swings, sinus infections, and low energy. In early August 2007, at age 39, I was in the hospital with what was thought to be a heart attack. Luckily it was not, but I was quite run down and had done some nerve damage in one of my arms. I found myself struggling to figure out how I was going to move forward.

In any event, following my participation in the Extreme Makeover, I now have the most energy that I can remember having in a long time and no longer seem to have energy peaks and dips throughout the day. The hardest part about the makeover challenge has been grocery shopping and cooking as I have never done much of either, but it has been worth the effort and the investment without a doubt. I have never considered myself overweight or particularly out of shape physically but seeing the results from the Tanita test dropping my body fat to 9.5 % is certainly tremendous motivation to stick with this program. I also recently was at a weekend event where there was really no good food there to eat and despite my good intentions, I was really quite ill the next day which reconfirms how important sticking to this program will be for my future well being. The reason I am doing this is not just for myself. When my mother died at 63 from liver failure five years ago, I had made a promise to do all I could to stay healthy which was sort of a half hearted effort to date. So this challenge could not have come at a better time for me.”
---Michael S.

Liz V. says this:
Health Problems: Allergies, weekly (or more often) headaches, numbness in right hand and arm, low back pain, neck pain, low energy – feeling tired all of the time.

What treatments did you try first? Prescription allergy medicine including steroids, over-the-counter pain medicine for headaches, sleeping a lot, other chiropractors – once a week or once a month without any improvement, symptoms would return the next day.

What has Chiropractic done for you? I can feel my right hand again! Less often headaches, no more low back pain. Less bothersome allergy symptoms, better range of motion of my neck and back, more energy. General feeling of better health and stronger back. Also, I have attended countless workshops and extreme makeover sessions that have equipped me and my family with the necessary resources to stay healthy and energized for the rest of our lives.
Dr. Dan is different from any chiropractor I’ve ever met. He develops a plan for your care and educates you about your spine and how to stay healthy without drugs or surgery. God bless your work! You are truly changing people’s lives for the better!

Let Freedom Ring!

Name: Joanna Moore, June 2009

Health Problems: I have written this testimony because I want others to know how chiropractic care and nutrition education through the Extreme Makeovers has greatly changed my life. I had a lady at Dr. Yachter's ask me while I was standing in line to use the vibration plates if all this is really helping me. My answer was so full of enthusiasm I think I took her by surprise when I said OH YES, immensely, and started telling her just a portion of how much it has helped. I suppose she had just started her adjustments and like all of us was trying to overcome her fears and needed assurance she was in the right place. My daycare parents see how much it is helping me and they are interested but feel they may not be able to afford it. So I tell them whenever they are ready let me know, I can hook them up with a free dinner with the doctor and a free evaluation.

My daycare parents ask me, "So why do you travel to Lake Mary when you live in Oviedo and there is a very good chiropractor far closer to you?" I met Dr. Dan at my church when he did a free "mini" Extreme Makeover workshop. Dr. Dan's care and love for his patients shines through in everything he does, from his loving attitude toward his patients, to the free workshops, to the way he runs his office, to his love and passion for God, to the passion he has to make people's lives better. Dr. Dan is truly a person who cares about people and the love of God shines through him. Dr. Leif and his gentleness and kind heart also shines through his personality. So I have peace that I am in very good hands with Dr. Dan and Dr. Leif.

So as I sat writing this I was reminded of things I had forgotten that had once plagued me. The following are things that I was suffering from: mild pain in left shoulder and worst pain in right shoulder. The pain in my right shoulder was keeping me up at night; it was difficult to fall asleep. I had extreme pain in right knee and mild pain in left knee. When I would take my daycare children for a walk, upon returning I would have to put a Thermacare Heat Wrap on my right knee and take Tylenol, aspirin or Ibuprofen. I interchanged them to keep from upsetting my stomach. I had suffered from acid reflux for several years now. I now believe it was caused by subluxation. I have had swelling in my left ankle since my first pregnancy and she is now 20 years old. I was not able to tolerate being on my feet for very long, because of extreme aching in my feet. I could not lift my daycare children onto the changing table so I changed diapers on the floor. I could not carry the daycare children around, I had to sit and hold them. I struggled with being able to coddle/hold one of them when they were having problems falling asleep because it would cause my shoulders to hurt. I had numbness and tingling down my arms and in my hands and weakness in my hands to the point of not being able to open a vacuumed jar. I had stopped going to the gym to do my circuit weight machines because of the weakness in my arms. I started packing on the weight when I was around 33 years old and I seemed helpless to stop it.

What treatments did you try first? I went to a sports medicine doctor and a family medicine doctor and I was given a prescription for pain and an anti-inflammatory. It didn't help so I quit taking them and just suffered. I don't take prescription medicine; it is something I have always had issues with. So I just took Tylenol, aspirin, and Ibuprofen with Thermacare for my knees. I tried acid reflux medications but they didn't help. I tried to control the weight by diet and exercise. I joined the YMCA, I swam, did aerobic classes and circuit weights. I tried the Atkins diet and the Fat Flush Diet. They did blood work and told me there was no explanation for the weight gain, I just needed to improve my diet and I should lose the weight. But when the weakness and tingling and numbness worsened I was forced to stop working out. The only thing a medical doctor typically does for the tingling and numbness and weakness in the arms and hands, otherwise known as carpal tunnel syndrome, is to cut the nerves in the wrists. I don't think so. I am not willing to trust a knife to fix my problems.

What has Chiropractic done for you? I started my adjustments on February 19th of this year, by my 3rd adjustment the tingling and numbness in my hands was gone and I had regained enough strength to open a vacuumed jar. By my 5th adjustment the pain in my shoulders was gone. I was enjoying REM sleep for the first time in a very long time. I got back into the gym in March and was doing my circuit weights again. By April I was going on walks with my daycare children and having no pain in my knees. In May we went to Epcot and MGM and I noticed I wasn't having pain in my knees or feet. I have no acid reflux anymore. I can now carry around a fussy, teething toddler and comfort and coddle them the way I have wanted to. I can hold them till they fall asleep. I have so much more energy for them. I have lost over 10 lbs. I went to the Extreme Makeover in February and March and I learned so much about nutrition and how to begin to really lose weight through proper diet but first, our spine needs to be communicating with our body properly in order to have balanced hormones and for our thyroid and spleen to be functioning at its optimum. I learned about the pH balance of our bodies and how having an acidic bloodstream causes our bodies swell and become inflamed. I went to the water workshop and learned about the importance of drinking alkaline water instead of acidic water. I learned that bottled water is acidic and we need to be drinking alkaline water. So my husband and I got a water treatment system installed that treats our entire house. So now our water has all the minerals and calcium removed and it is at an alkaline pH and it is considered soft water instead of hard water. We only drink bottled water if we don't have our house water available to us. One of my hobbies is maintaining aquariums. After the water workshop I came home and used my pH testing kit to test the bottled water we use and indeed it was acidic. I went to the vitamin workshop and learned about the importance of healthy vitamins. I learned that there is a difference between natural vitamins and synthetic ones. We now take better vitamins that have raised my Carotenoid score to 46,000 from 27,000. I learned about Vega, Green Vibrance, Mila, and the importance of Coconut Oil. You can learn all about these topics at the Extreme Makeover, the water workshop and vitamin workshop. Yes, I was very afraid of trusting my back to anyone. But I was more fearful of a surgeon's knife. Look at how many doctors and surgeons make mistakes everyday and cause untimely deaths, pain or suffering. I couldn't live my life with the pain I was in and I wasn't willing to trust a surgeon. I have worked as a Certified Medical Assistant for Family Practice and Pediatrics. I also worked as a Phlebotomist. So I know the mistakes and the limitations of medicine. Pharmaceuticals do not have the answers with their medications. I would have patients come in to get their blood work prothrombin time or INR done weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly, b/c they were on Coumadin or the generic warfarin. They would be so weary of spending so much time getting blood work done so often and have such messed up veins from all the blood work. They would ask me why the doctor needed this done so much. I would tell them, "Well do you know what you are really taking?" Rat poison, seriously, that is what Coumadin is. So your doctor has to monitor it very close in order to not overdose you. Most already knew what they were taking and others were surprised.

You can learn at the Extreme Makeover how to prevent heart disease through fixing the subluxation in your spine and proper diet. Then you won't have to worry about Coumadin or the blood work that goes with it. Yes, I have been concerned about the money and the expense. But God can show you how to get rid of unnecessary things in your budget and cut back on some other things in your budget in order to get the help you need. Also, you have the added benefit of learning about a whole new lifestyle at the Extreme Makeovers. You learn how to get more energy and more benefits out of your adjustments by eating better and exercising better.

Extreme Makeover 2009

Prior to coming to Yachter Family Chiropractic I was living life just trying to keep up. I never seem to take time for myself, constantly running wild, spinning my wheels & never seeming to get everything done & very Type A. Somehow, I thought moving back home to Florida & leaving a high stress Transplant Coordinator position with lots of call would give me tons of free time. Alas, I have figured out that my personality will always keep me going 90 miles an hour no matter what I do. My husband calls me “Organized Chaos”!!! I am a Cardiac Rehab RN/Manager & very involved with my patient’s health, happiness & fitness. But isn’t it funny that, I put myself on the back burner!!! I should be the epitome of health!!! Well, there you go….I am 53, weighed more than ever, am stressed, & can’t seem to find time to just relax, am tired, do not sleep well, my clothes are tight (which makes me feel even worse), & did I say FAT!! I am on Welbutrin twice a day, Zocor at night (diagnosed with familial high cholesterol during my transplant days), Ambien at night (my mind doesn’t stop!), Nexium (think it’s gallbladder), Premarin (total hysterectomy at 45), Ibuprophen (neck fused- probably due to stress & atlas) and don’t forget the allergy meds (Claritin). Nurses are bad about putting themselves last! So……We are in Wal-Mart one night & my husband stops to talk to a lady that is doing a free screening. I kind of shake my head and tell him to catch up with me in the dog food section. He comes back & tells me he is going for a free screening next Tuesday. Go for it! My husband never says too much more. I was just very surprised when he told me he wanted me to go to the next orientation & went on to describe the incredible information he had gotten & he thought this might be the thing to cure many of his symptoms of back pain, sleeplessness and general symptoms of us “getting older”. Well, needless to say, when I went to my Tuesday evening orientation, I WAS SOLD. Dr Dan has such an infectious way of making you want to stand up and say “AMEN”!! You can truly believe that he is devoted to what he does, cares very much about his patients (which I think are truly an extension of his family) and wants us to be healthy. Now, I have to tell you that, being a nurse, I am a work in progress. Dumping all of my medications are foreign to me, because for 30 years of my nursing career, what do we do but treat disease with medications! Well, what Dr Dan says makes sense. We are brainwashed & are the unhealthiest people in the country. We have more fast food, super size portions, obesity in both adults & CHILDREN, no exercise at all, everything automated, voicemail, email, beepers, cell phones, job stress, economy, families that are breaking up, people working many jobs, etc, etc, etc. So, you get the idea.

Now, that you know where I was, let’s talk about the extreme makeover. I jumped in with both feet & said “I’m sick & tired of being sick & tired and I’m not going to take it anymore”! I immediately signed up for my plan of care. I immediately made an appointment for nutritional counseling. I immediately bought the Mila, Intramax and Vegan Chai flavored drink! I have attended the Water Workshop, come to my adjustments and will schedule other days if I have to miss due to work. I could not WAIT for the Extreme Makeover. I was very afraid that I would fail & not be able to make all the changes, but Dr Dan assures us that it is a journey and there are NO LIMITS! I tell lots of people about Dr Dan.

My husband & I signed up. The first night I wrote my primary goals:
Decrease fat (%), increase overall health, take care of myself, and be PERMANENTLY fit, sleep better & be more at peace with myself. Well, we have anxiously anticipated EVERY night. Now I am definitely not one to wish the weekend away, but I can’t wait until Monday night!

After the first night, Monday, February 16, 2009, we went to Lifestyle family fitness. We got our measurements. OH MY GOSH! I am a walking fat machine, no wonder my metabolism is low! They would not put me on the Tanita due to the metal plate in my neck (I have since been on the Tanita with no problem). Aaron Black measured us (I was mortified and embarrassed!). He was so sweet & encouraging. Well, we went right back there in 2 days & signed up for a membership immediately. My husband had never been an exerciser & I obviously was not dedicated or pushing myself! We started working out together :- ) and even signed up for personal training sessions with Aaron! That was a huge step. We work out Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Saturdays! We personal train with Aaron on Mondays & Wednesdays. What a big change. We have both progressed quite a bit with our exercise. He said our burst training has gone from 12 bursts with longer rest periods to 21 bursts with short rests! I do notice a difference in my clothes. This is something that we will continue even after the EMO. We changed our diets. We tend to get home late due to the above. We eat salads for dinner and have started drinking way more water (striving for half our body weight in ounces). I also have Intramax vitamins, probably the best I have ever taken as I am not one to take vitamins. I have my Mila, Vegan Chai, Green powder every morning for breakfast. I carry water everywhere. I eat lots of greens for lunch & have bought organic products from Publix and Debbie’s health food store!

After the second Monday, February 23, 2009
At my very next adjustment visit, I bought Sea Salts (1/4 tsp) & started putting them in my morning jug of water! Now I am not a salt person, but hey, it’s not bad at all! Again, this is a journey & there are days I do not get all my water in, but I am so conscious of what I am doing & try to get back on track. After all, it’s a journey! I didn’t do this to myself over night. I am feeling so much better with the exercise, but I have to admit: It is still hard!! I am afraid that I will not be able to do all that Aaron wants us to do; but; guess what? I AM! I want immediate results, & continually look at the scale, but Aaron said, we are putting on muscle!! Ok, so I am a sugar substitute person & coffee drinker. I bought stevia for my coffee & limit myself down to two cups & guess what, I don’t even finish them! Remember, a work in progress! I have about cut out all bread, rice, flour, sugar. I have increased dramatically my vegetable intake & tried different ones.

After the third Monday, March 2, 2009
I have quit taking my am Welbutrin (still type A), stopped the Nexium (stomach is fine) & am skipping Zocor doses. Remember, I am a NURSE & there is 30 years of programming here, but you surely have my attention! I bought Coconut Oil, still trying to think of ways to use, continuing with no white sugar, no sweets, eating more nuts, have been skipping fruit except for some berries infrequently. Continuing with the exercise & hey, it’s not so bad. I am feeling stronger, noticing change in my clothes & myself esteem has improved because I am actively exercising & regularly practicing what I am telling my patients. We enjoy a glass of wine or a drink with friends. I don’t have one every night of the week & have been more conscious of social drinking. It’s easy to have a couple not thinking about it in social situations. I also drink water when we are out with friends to supplement where I might have another drink. Again, a work in progress. I felt that now life was really crazy exercising every evening & getting home late, but think, I AM doing it & it’s better than cleaning the house or watching tv! That’s putting me first & I enjoy working out with my husband because, he now is taking care of himself. I really look forward to what Dr Dan has to say, am very motivated seeing all the people that he has at the EMO & realizing how this is changing people that would never have tried. He is so dedicated to really making a difference in everyone’s life.

After the fourth Monday, March 9, 2009
I am learning more about the vitamins & nutrition. Who would have thought that all the Vitamins they sell are bad for you. Personally, they always upset my stomach no matter when I take them! I have the IntraMax & it does not do that to me. I am still working on my God foods. I still eat way more vegetables & add the greens to my morning drink. I love the burst training we do. I have been taught all my life that you have to exercise at least 45 minutes to get benefits. How unique to do quick bursts & it counts! I bought a jump rope to use at home for times we want to do a quick burst. I want to do the April YMCA 5K. I am not only working on weights, personal training & the cardio, but I am actually walking & burst running on the treadmill. I have my heart monitor on & can look at my heart rate (huff & puff). I am not an avid runner at all & love to walk. I know when I run now it is for a short burst, so hey, I can do that!

After the fifth Monday, March 16, 2009
Who ever is Dr Dan’s costume designer is great! We really look forward to seeing what he will be wearing! So tonight was label night. I have read labels but learned sooooo much about what to look for & all the hidden truths of what is in our food. Grocery shopping will be a lot less time consuming going around the outer edge of the store. I went home after our EMO meeting, went into my pantry & threw out TWO bags of processed, boxed foods from the grocery store! I need to go back through again & plan on going through the freezer next to get rid of all the ready made processed foods! My weight is down a few pounds, my body fat is decreasing & hopefully when Aaron measures us tonight, I will have LESS body fat! I am anxiously waiting.
I am meeting my goals, more energy, more positive self image, less drugs, sleeping better (I still have to tell my mind to be quiet!), exercising regularly, more healthy eating, less coffee, less alcohol, more label conscious, regular chiropractic adjustments and a better feeling of living in control instead of life controlling me.

I plan on continuing my journey, no limits, even when the EMO is over. I know I will not be where I need to be and want to make this a regular part of my life. Not just doing it to an end and going back to all my old habits. The biggest change I have yet to make……..I love to sleep in on Saturday after a week full of alarm clocks & work…….I would love to attend the Walk/Run Club…..ok, I am a work in progress!!! There’s always hope!!

Thank you for making a difference in our lives. There are no limits & I will strive to stay on the journey & tell everyone I know of the difference Yachter Family Chiropractic has made in our lives.
With great thanks!!
