Have you ever wondered why your having certain symptoms or not happy with the answers your getting from your physician? Is your body giving you signals that may indicate an underlying problem? Such as cold hands and feet or going to bed tired and waking up tired. What about decreased sex drive or constant headaches? Do you crave certain foods or have difficulty with digestion? These are just a few concerns I get from patients. Most are not getting answers to their very important questions. We have made available to all that are interested the Optimal Health Assessment. There is no charge for the assessment and was designed to help give you answers to why you may be experiencing symptoms or have body signals that need addressed. This assessment is NOT diagnosing conditions and is for educational purposes only. After taking the assessment, if there are areas of concern that have been flagged, I recommend you follow up with your physician or schedule an appointment with our office in order to help you make an informed decision that is best for you.

Serotonin and or Dopamine related deficiency symptoms and treament option

admin — Mon, 29 Oct 2012 17:23:35 +0000

I have to give total credit of today’s blog post to Dr. Marty Hinz and his 16 peer-reviewed research articles that include over 1000 databases, over 2.7 million patient days of treatment documented and data from over 650 clinics. This research is on how inadequate serotonin and or dopamine levels in the body cause or contribute to many conditions or diseases.
Neurotransmitters such as serotonin and dopamine are chemicals that allow the nervous system to function properly by providing electricity throughout the body. Without the proper amount of neurotransmitters, it’s analogous to the electric company not providing enough electricity to your home. As a result, many symptoms or conditions may manifest. ( I’ll give a list of possibilities in a second).
The electrical system of the body can be damaged by toxins, trauma, biological substances, and genetic conditions. This damage can occur in the brain and in multiple areas. Symptoms that manifest as a result depend on the location in the brain where the insult has occurred.
The master neurotransmitters are serotonin and dopamine and are manufactured in our body from amino acids from our diet. If your diet cannot supply the required amount of serotonin or dopamine to regulate your body appropriately, you will have a relative nutritional deficiency and symptoms may manifest.
Below is a list of common symptoms/conditions associated with inadequate serotonion and/or dopamine levels in the body:
1. Obesity
2. Depression
3. Anxiety
4. ADD/ ADHD
5. Chronic Pain
6. Fibromyalgia
7. Restless Leg Syndrome
8. Crohn’s Disease
9. Tension Headaches
10. Migraine Headaches
Many of these are treated medically with SSRI’s like Prozac, Celexa, Zoloft etc. The problem is that they do not increase the amount of neurotransmitters in your body and over time will cause a decrease in the amount of neurotransmitters in the body not to mention the unwanted sexual side effects, weight gain and suicidal tendencies and many more.
Dr. Hinz has developed laboratory testing to determine the specific levels of amino acid precursors that are essential and a specific protocol to replenish these in order for the body to function at it’s optimum and often times the symptoms will resolve. This protocol involves all natural amino acid precursors and no drugs. We are currently offering this specialized testing and protocol in our office.

There are many symptoms associated with female hormone imbalances. Here is my top 12 list of symptoms:
1. PMS
2. Allergies
3. Fertility Problems
4. Fibromyalgia
5. Pregnancy issues
6. Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome

I recently held a seminar that discussed balancing female hormones in my Frankfort KY office. In addition to common symptoms, I revealed the 3 stages of pre-menopausal imbalances. Also, I discussed natural approaches to balancing hormones and what tests you need to have performed in order to evaluate if you are suffering from female hormone imbalances. Below is the seminar presentation I did. Please feel free to watch it and if you find it beneficial share it with your friends and family.

Frankfort chiropractor suggests re-thinking the flu vaccine

admin — Tue, 11 Sep 2012 16:57:36 +0000

Frankfort chiropractor, Dr. Todd Cremeans, suggests re-thinking the flu vaccine. We are quickly approaching my favorite time of year, fall. Along with it comes cooler weather, changing leaves, football games and FLU-SHOTS!

Judging by the forcefulness of advertising one would think they are required for survival.
According to the British medical journal, they need to be reconsidered. In fact, here is what one of there researchers said: “ much of the data supporting yearly flu vaccinations was flawed and found that there was little merit in wintertime flu shots” “We’ve got an exaggerated expectation of what vaccines can actually do,” Dr. Jefferson said. “I’m hoping American and European taxpayers will be alerted and start asking questions.”
In addition to eating properly and exercising to boost your immune system try supplementing with the following (we recommend metagenics products because of their high quality)

October Thru January Take The Following:
1) Ultra Potent C
2) 10,000IU of Vit. D daily
3) Probiotic

Let me know if you have questions or concerns.

Should you fire your KY doctors

admin — Sat, 08 Sep 2012 03:41:18 +0000

How many people reading this post feel like they want to fire your KY doctors. I say KY only because that is where I am located. But many people across the United States would feel the same way. Most primary medical doctors are trained to see the body as individual parts as opposed to looking at the body as a whole. Medical students are trained to diagnose diseases and treat symptoms by prescribing medications. The majority do not take the time to understand the cause of the symptoms and treat the underlying cause. My approach to treating the body is looking at the body as a whole not as broken up pieces. I am interested in knowing what is causing the symptoms then giving the body what it needs to put it back in balance, allowing it to take care of the symptoms itself. This type of approach is referred to by many as Functional Medicine. In all actuality it is not medicine at all. This unique approach is becoming more popular among primary medical doctors, chiropractors and natural health practitioners. This approach utilizes functional lab testing mostly from a non-invasive saliva test. Based on these test results, a customized treatment plan can be formulated based on the individual needs of the patient. The treatment may include bioidentical hormone therapy, exercise programs, dietary changes, or supplement programs that target the CAUSE of the symptoms not masking them. Many times these tests give answers to questions that a lot of people are not getting answers to from their medical doctors. Over the last 9 years in practice, I have found that many people are tired of hearing that all their “test results” are normal but they still feel lousy. Or they don’t understand why they had a heart attack despite having normal cholesterol levels. Bottom line is if you want to feel better, STOP GUESSING AND GET TESTED! Especially if you are suffering from unexplained fatigue, depression, weight problems, anxiety, insomnia, digestive disorders, fibromyalgia and hormone imbalances. We have consulting available even if you do not live close to us. Take charge of your own health and get to the root cause of your problem with functional lab testing.

Chiropractor in Frankfort KY shares the connection between pain in the body and imbalances in the feet

admin — Thu, 30 Aug 2012 03:25:24 +0000

As a chiropractor practicing in Frankfort KY I am faced with trying to pinpoint the cause of chronic pain that a lot of my patients are dealing with. One of the most common factors I have found is with the foundation of the body, the feet. As it turns out, imbalances in the feet, such as falling arches can wreck havoc on the skeletal system. When the arches fall, a chain reaction occurs through the lower extremities creating imbalances in the knees, hips, low back and shoulders. This kinetic chain often results in pain in each of the previously mentioned regions. If a patient fails to respond to treatment, this is one of the first areas I will look at. We do this by conducting a digital scan of the feet. If the arches are falling, we can prescribe custom footlevelers stabilizers to be worn in the shoes. These custom orthotics give the support to the feet and in turn help balance the distortions that have occurred throughout the knees, hips, low back, and shoulders. Watch this brief video to learn more about the connection between pain in the body and imbalances in the feet.

Frankfort chiropractor offers functional lab testing

admin — Sun, 26 Aug 2012 04:40:09 +0000

Over the last 9 years in practice, I have witnessed so many people suffering from various conditions such as: digestive disorders, anxiety, insomnia, weight problems, depression, fatigue, hormone imbalances, diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis and more. Most of those patients were all placed on medications to cover their symptoms up. The sad part is the majority of them still feel lousy. I have also seen many patients over the past nine years that feel terrible, go to there medical doctor only to be told all of their blood work or test results were normal. After many years of asking why these people don’t have answers to their questions, Frankfort chiropractor, Dr. Todd Cremeans discovered a revolutionary approach to giving these people answers to their questions. The approach involves functional lab testing that stops the guesswork and gets to the underlying cause of the problem. Most of the testing does not involve blood work but instead uses saliva and urine samples. Not many doctors have an understanding of this new approach and only a few utilize it in their practices. Dr. Cremeans a frankfort chiropractor is currently offering functional lab testing and is accepting a limited number of patients utilizing this revolutionary and life changing functional lab testing. Feel free to call the office to schedule your consulting appointment, 502-223-2424, or email us at info@frankfortkychiropractor.com
