Patient Testimonials: Joint Surgery Prevention, Fibromyalgia Relief, & More!

Spring 2021 Patient’s Testimonials: Joint Pain Surgery Prevention, Fibromyalgia Relief, & More!

Hi Everyone!

It looks like summer weather is with us, and we know that we are especially keen on seeing as many of your faces out and about at the events where we will be over the next few months.

This season’s group of patient testimonials cover a wide variety of previous health concerns, and each member describes what life was like prior to coming into our practice, and the positive results that stem from the personalized chiropractic and nutritional attention that we give to everyone.

Before we get into the videos, if you are looking for a new approach - or have tried EVERYTHING without the results you were looking for, make an appointment with us today, we can’t wait to help you!

In our first testimonial, Dr. Casen interviews one of our practice members who shares that he is the only one out of his seven siblings that has not needed joint surgery - and he credits this to coming to our practice and receiving chiropractic care as well as other lifestyle and health recommendations.

In our second testimonial video, Dr. Casen interviews one of our practice members who, prior to coming to our office, had two surgeries (rotator cuff and spinal stenosis) - and with our help and precise Chiropractic adjustments, she now "feels so much at ease with my body."

Dr. Aimee interviews one of our practice members who, as an active runner, experienced an injury that prevented him from normally running his average of 30 miles a week. At first, he explains he was skeptical about chiropractic care, but is now a believer, especially since he is now training for his next ultra-marathon.

Dr. Casen interviews one of our practice members who shares how their mobility has improved after they began working from home with long hours in front of the computer. Additionally, they share how our #DruglessDetox has been a success for them and their spouse.

Lastly, Dr. Casen interviews one of our practice members who was diagnosed with fibromyalgia, and how we have been able to help relieve pain through chiropractic and diet choices (no fruit, no dairy, no sugar, no gluten).

Thanks for watching - we’ll see you all soon!

Helping Depression, Anxiety, and Memory Loss Naturally - Mental Health Tips

Helping Depression, Anxiety, and Memory Loss Naturally - Mental Health Tips

Hi Everyone!

May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and below is the transcript of Dr. Anthony and Dr. Bob’s discussion on mental health, and more specifically, Dr. Bob’s Drugless Guide to Mental Health, as a blueprint for this conversation:

It's been about a year since Dr. Bob's Drugless Guide to Mental Health has been out. And I know that there's been a lot of people that have really responded well to the information that's in the book.

So, Dr. Bob, let's talk a little bit about why is mental health and the mental health book now more important than ever?

- People are stressed, So the book itself is going to give individuals some basic ideas of what you can do to promote optimal health of living, because your brain is impacted by all these emotions and all of these stresses.

- Now, for those that are out there watching this, what are a couple of simple, easy tips that someone can do to help improve their mental health?

- Well, probably the number one that all of you could do is minimize stress. And this is kind of interesting. Let's say somebody asks you to do something you don't really want to do, like make 12 dozen cookies with pink frosting and sprinkles on top. That is just not a part of your passion. So you have to learn something. If somebody asks you to do something you don't want to do just say, "I can't say yes," with a smile. And they're going to say, what does that mean? It's NO, we have so many people, well intended to have family members help and support them. I'm not telling you not to, but it's stress. And let me give you the real reason what happens here. There are glands in your body called adrenal glands. Adrenal glands make adrenaline or adrenal hormones. Well, that's made in part by something called tyrosine. Tyrosine is a protein, it's an amino acid. Well, tyrosine is a natural anti-depressant. That's important for you to know that. But tyrosine and iodine make thyroid hormone. So a lot of people have depression, Dr. Anthony, and or anxiety, and not only are their adrenal glands tired, they have low thyroid with cold hands and cold feet. And then they have depression. We talk about that inside of the book and what you can do to help improve brain function.

- So Dr. Bob, what about a test and what tests might you recommend if someone's like, you know what? I really like to investigate more mental health, my own health, what could they do and why should they do it?

- Well, I'll tell you, one of the things that you could do is take your blood pressure sitting and then standing. And if your blood pressure drops from a sit to a stand, you may have adrenal gland involvement. So that's one test you could do. Have your thyroid checked, TSH, T3, and T4. If the numbers are low, it's possibly because you don't have enough tyrosine. But if you really drill down a little bit further, you can have a test done called the Omega Test. The Omega Test is an evaluation of the oil inside of your body that impacts your brain. For example, DHA. DHA is fat for the brain. You want to make sure you have enough of that. On the other hand, if you have an elevation of Omega-6 fats, your brain is going to be in a state of inflammation. We also know by looking at a blood test we use called the Opti-Chem, if your alkaline phosphatase, I know it's a big word, but alkaline phosphatase is low, it means you could have a zinc need. Well, you need zinc for your memory. That's a part of mental health. And finally, we look at a person's uric acid, it's another serum test. And if that level is low, it could be a B12 need. And you need B12 Dr. Anthony, for your memory. It's amazing how many possibilities that we have that we can help a person drill down to find out what's going on inside of them.

- Okay, so in your experience too, and I know that you talked about this in the book as well, what have you seen with people that have received chiropractic care and their mental health? Is there a correlation? What have you noticed?

- You know, it's really, that's a tremendous question. We have people that will come in with major anxiety. It just happened to me last week. We had an individual come in, we take posture pictures. The person's posture was like this. You can literally see the frown on her head, even with the mask on. Gave her her very first spinal correction, to her upper cervical spine. And when she came in this week, on Tuesday, her whole life was changed. We had a gentleman that was so kind to write a testimony in our book, and after his first or second adjustment, his anxiety was gone. That's a big deal.

- Okay, so for anybody that's out there, what would you tell them about if they're interested in the mental health book, why should they consider getting it?

- Well, it's going to give you a roadmap from the beginning to the end. We talk about antidepressants and we're not telling anybody to get off their antidepressants. We talk about how fat does impact your brain and how to measure it. A variety of nutrients. We even have all the different types of tests that you can do. But one area that I failed to mention that's really, really important is that mental health itself impacts organs. For example, your liver is the organ of anger. The gallbladder is bitterness. The lungs are sadness, kidney is fear. And here's the last one, that's so significant. The spleen, which is a part of your immune system, is anxiety and worry. So people who have a lot of anxiety and worry Dr. Anthony, their immune system is weak. So if you want to learn more about what I just said, by getting the book we're going to give you the building blocks that you need to create optimal, happy mental health.

- So I'm Dr. Anthony DeMaria. This is Dr. Bob DeMaria. I hope you enjoyed this information on mental health and we hope that you have an excellent day.

Natural Tips for Optimal Sleep!

Dr. Casen & Dr. Anthony DeMaria

Natural Tips for Optimal Sleep! 💤

Happy November, Everyone! This month, our Facebook Live video is on optimal sleep for you and possibly the person that sleeps next to you! Let’s review our notes, and then make sure to watch our video and begin applying these suggestions for peaceful rest. 

What is sleep and why do we need it? – One of the least understood areas of the human body

Sleep is a state, accentuating the growth and rejuvenation of the immune, nervous, skeletal, and muscular systems. Sleep allows our bodies to shut down our conscious (thought) and voluntary muscles (used for movement). This allows our body to focus energy to cell growth and repair along with returning balance to our mental and physical state.

Our Top Natural Sleep Tips

- Make sleep a priority by keeping a consistent bedtime and wake schedule, including weekends.

- Develop a bedtime routine that is relaxing. We recommend reading a book because it allows your brain to relax. Other options include listening to soothing music, or soaking in a hot bath.

- Create a room that is dark, quiet, comfortable and cool for the best possible sleep.

- Evaluate your mattress and pillow to ensure proper comfort and support. If your mattress is five to seven years old, it may be time for a new one. In general, pillows should be replaced every year.

- Keep work materials, computers and televisions out of the bedroom.

- Exercise regularly, but complete workouts at least two hours before bedtime.

- If you sleep with a partner, your mattress should allow each of you enough space to move easily. A queen mattress is ideal for two people sharing a mattress.

- Avoid eating, drinking alcohol, partaking in nicotine, and caffeine close to bedtime. These can lead to poor sleep, keep you awake, or disrupt sleep later in the night.

- Stop electronics at night.

Dr. Bob's Top Health "Secrets"

Dr. Bob has a few health “secrets” for you!

Hello Everybody! 

This is Dr. Bob DeMaria. I am going to give you some Dr. Bob "Health Secrets." 

Are you ready? 

The first secret I want to give you is iodine. I learned this so many years ago. I know that people like to go swimming in swimming pools, they like to hang out in hot tubs, they like to take showers and brush their teeth with fluoride toothpaste. Well, you may also be consuming tap water from your municipal sink source of water. And those are not necessarily all bad, but the real challenge is that the water today has been treated with chlorine, bromine, and fluorine, and guess what it does? It competes with iodine. And I have found from my experience that the modern day scurvy is lack of iodine.

What's scurvy, Dr. Bob? 

Lack of vitamin C, and a lot of English and other sailors died of it. So if you or your loved ones are spending time in the pool or using municipal water, you could have an iodine deficiency resulting in a low thyroid, which will cause thinning hair, cold hands, cold feet, constipation, high cholesterol. If you are using a pool or any of those sources, you may consider getting a bottle of Iodizyme from us. All adults could take at least one tablet a day. And if you have children that are 100 lbs or less, I would do at least a half a tablet every day.

Now if you get any kind of reaction with the iodine, “What kind of reaction Dr. Bob?"

Skin rash, flu-like symptoms. It's not the iodine per se, the iodine is pushing the bromine, fluorine and chlorine out of your body. And over time it should go away. 

We're going to switch gears now to another little secret. The Bio-B Complex or Bio B-100's. 

Do you cry easy? Do you have sore muscles after exercise? And here's the big question, do mosquitoes like you? 

You say, “Well what do you mean do mosquitoes like you?” 

If I was to go out for a walk with myself, I never get bothered by mosquitoes because I have enough B vitamins in my body, especially B1 or thiamin. I know a lot of you watching me right now will say, “Dr. Bob, mosquitoes just love me.” 

Well, first, if mosquitoes love you, obviously you'll want to start taking some Bio-B Complex at least three a day. And you're also going to get yourself a bottle of the Kare Spray for the itch. But to help prevent that, I would encourage you to make sure you have enough B vitamins, especially if you're going to be outdoors for any length of time. 

Some of you could have what we commonly, what you have commonly told us, the summer cold. Well, the summer cold oftentimes is not a cold at all. It's an allergy. So we don't promote peanut butter, dairy, wheat products, probably pizza being the worst combination of all of them or a donut. They're not bad foods, but what those foods do is they create distress to your system like it's a foreign invader. So we encourage you to use some Histoplex-AB. It's kind of like a natural antihistamine. You could take two or three or four every day. But your ultimate goal, besides backing off those foods, dairy, peanut butter, sugar, and wheat, you're going to want to make sure that you're in the office to have your neck checked, your cervical spine, especially the upper cervical spine, because if that's out of alignment, you're going to have some nasal congestion. 

Probably the biggest thrill that I had in my life was many many years ago, almost 25 years ago, a young lady got off of our chiropractic adjusting table, she looked me straight in the eye and guess what she said? "That was faster than Benadryl!" That's amazing, isn't it? 

Here's another very interesting product and I had a conversation with someone today, it's called Li-Zyme Forte. Li-Zyme Forte is tremendous when you're under stress. Any of you out there, right now have a little bit of stress in your life, what Li-Zyme Forte does, when it hits your intestine, it becomes acetylcholine for your brain. If you're under severe mental stress, do you know you could literally take one of these an hour for about a two-week time period. It's a plant-based trace mineral. We see tremendous results with this. It's not addictive, but it's going to help calm you down. You don't need to take it forever. You can take two or three every day, but if your stress increases, you're going to want to add some Li-Zyme Forte. I'm going to close with this product. How many of you out there love sugar? 

Dr. Bob, of course I love sugar!

Cake, strawberry shortcake, cookies. You crave sugar and craving sugar is not necessarily the best because it compromises your immune system. Well Cr-Zyme, it's a trace mineral called chromium, and I've had people that have to take up to nine a day to stop the craving for sugar. But if you're having sugar cravings, Cr-Zyme, start with three or four every day. That will help stop the cravings. But to be logical, you don't want anybody bringing in that sweet pastries home because it's going to be an enticement to you. So we have a variety of summer tools that I know will help make a difference so you'll be able to enjoy your summertime. 

So get out and play with your friends and family.

Three Types of Sun Rays

UVA: A stands for Aging. UVA radiation penetrates deep into the skin and is responsible for premature aging of the skin and skin cancer. Tanning beds can emit 2 to 5 times more UVA radiation than the sun.

UVB: B stands for Burning. U VB radiation is stronger than UVA radiation. It mainly affects the outer layers of the skin, causing sunburns, premature aging of the skin, and skin cancer. These rays are strongest during the summer months – especially between 11 am and 4 pm. 

UVC: UVC radiation is the strongest, most dangerous form of UV light. However, they are stopped by the earth’s atmosphere and do not reach earth’s surface.

Helping Your Mental Health Naturally

Dr. Casen & Dr. Bob

A Drugless Approach to Your Mental Health

Hi Friends, 

For our June H2H, we have Dr. Bob as our guest, as we discuss his new book, “Dr. Bob’s Drugless Guide to Mental Health.” Thanks for joining us! 

Defined by the World Health Organization (WHO), as a state of well-being, in which every individual realizes his or her potential, can cope with the normal stresses of life, can work productively and fruitfully, and can make a contribution to her or his community.

The word “mental-health” has also become increasingly popular within the last few years, and we believe that with chiropractic and drugless care, anyone can improve their state of mental health.

- Chiropractic is rooted in helping the brain and nervous system, and current research shows that chiropractic care alone can increase brain function by 20-50%!

How does someone’s mental health impact their body and current state of health?

Humans are the only animals who regularly experience a stress response without an actual stressor present:

- Common conditions include depression, anxiety, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), drug addiction, worry, social anxiety, phobias, and panic attacks.

- Research has linked Alzheimer’s and dementia to high aluminum levels in the brain.

- Aluminum has been found in soil, water, air, processed foods, drugs, vaccines, deodorants, cosmetic products, and even different kinds of toothpaste. You may also find aluminum in plastic containers, foils, and cooking utensils.

-Conventional and traditional medical approaches include medications or therapy.

Drugless Mental-Health Protocol

- Adding a stable source of energy, in this case, protein. (Your brain uses roughly twenty percent of your energy, but is only about two percent of your body weight.)

- Add nutrients that are right for you. These include green, leafy vegetables.

- Add important antioxidants. This helps reduce oxidation and keep your brain “clean.”

- Add essential fatty acids (EFA’s): These protect the brain, decrease inflammation, and help transmit important messages to the rest of the body.

- Drink water: Each day, drink half of your body weight in ounces.

- Remove sugar, wheat, and soy products. These have been found to take essential minerals, including zinc, out from your body.

- Exercise! Find activities you like that require movement for thirty minutes a day.

- Complete an Omega Oils Serum Profile, which helps to determine which oils your body needs.

Increase Your ENERGY

Hi Everyone! 

Welcome to May! What a few months it has been. If you’re like us, you’re ready to enjoy spring in all of its bounty. This month, our H2H is on energy - and we know that this is always a popular topic, so if you’re feeling lethargic and you’re ready to learn what you can do to feel vibrant again - watch this video and then pass it on to a friend! Let’s dance! 

What areas in life do you want to increase your energy? 

It’s easy as 1, 2, 3:

- Stay connected! Research shows that being in community and connected to people improves physical health and mental health. Examples: writing letters, Facetime, video chat, a text/email.

- Fuel your body with the right ingredients!  What are you doing to create healthy meals with your family?

- Movement creates energy. Sitting is the most amount of pressure on your spine. Ergonomics are important but also proper motion in your spine. Get outside and exercise (minimum of 20 minutes/day).

Action Steps-

- Do 1 thing and share it with 2 people in your life

 - Schedule an appointment

Breast Thermography: Spring 2020

Hi Everyone! 

During this time, we are here to support you. Your Breast Thermography visit is very important to us, and I hope it is to you as well. 

The team at The Drugless Doctors are following all health and government guidelines; however, here are a few more pre-appointment tips that can make your session with me both quick and easy: 

1. Any questions you may have will be answered at your consultation.

2. If you would prefer not to wear a robe – wear something that you can easily take off (or drop-down) – so your body will be easily uncovered to your waist.  

3. Bring your own hairpins, accessories, while remembering all hair has to be off the neck. We will have some for use, but I know you might feel more comfortable having your own apparel.

4. Think about putting your jewelry in an envelope before coming in so you may put back on once you are back in your car.  

These first three tips are essential to note and I desire to make your experience smooth and straightforward for you to have the best experience there is. 

Here are some additional recommendations before your session:   

-No matter if this is your first or 15th breast thermography session, you need to review the “What You Need to Know” sheet. There are always new tips added – and following these guidelines will bring clarity and the right thumbprint to your pictures. 

-Please arrive at least 5 minutes before your scheduled appointment. Often I am ready for you, I am very conscious of being on time for both you and the next person after you. I will do my best to have you in and out and on your way. 

-MOST IMPORTANT: come with your paperwork all filled out and ready.

If, for some reason, you do not have them that day with you, we will have documents for you to fill out at the front desk, but you must inform the front desk associate; this will add to your appointment time – so please be there 15 minutes ahead of the scheduled time. This gives you time to think about your answers and fill out with the most clarity. 

Short Cuts for Forms 

• First Breast Thermography, OR Yearly Scan: Fill out all paperwork, remembering to sign and date.  

• If it is your Second Scan (establishing your baseline – 3 month after first), or scan that was recommended by your report doctor, only fill out the paperwork if there are any changes. List only the changes since your previous scan. 

• If you have previously been diagnosed with breast cancer, please fill out the form that states that clearly. If you have never had breast cancer, ignore this form. 

I look forward to our time together – and if you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to email us at info@druglessdrs.com before the day of thermography.   

Our office number is 440-471-4200 if you have any questions!

We look forward to helping you,

The Drugless Doctors Updates - April 2020

Dr. Bob, Dr. Casen, Dr. Anthony - The Drugless Doctors

Hello Friends!

During times like these, we are continually reminded of how thankful we are for our practice members, and those of you who rely on our services for your health.  

We are open for adjustments and appointments. That said, we would like to update you on some of the changes we have made:

1. We have changed our adjusting hours to accommodate three adjustments every 15 minutes throughout our regular hours. Monday, Wednesday, Thursday 8-6 and Tuesdays 1-6.

2. There are no longer any chairs in our common areas.  

3. Front desk glass protectors are installed for the protection of our team and practice members.

4. Purchases made from our Wellness Store are encouraged to be done ahead of time over the phone to limit your time in the office. They can either be picked up or shipped.

5. We usually keep highly clean spaces but have been wiping down our tables and instruments after each adjustment. (As well as periodic cleaning of our common-area surfaces throughout the day such as counters and doorknobs.)

There are two ways you can schedule an adjustment/appointment

1. Call our team at 440-471-4200. They will help find a time that works for you, as well as pre-screen you with several brief questions to get you scheduled.

2. Use SKED: You can add an appointment or reschedule on SKED to any of our open times, which are operating on the three adjustments per 15-minute capacity. Please don’t add or move anything past May 1, as we don’t know how long we will maintain this schedule. If you add or reschedule adjustments on SKED, you have to respond to our pre-screening questions on your 24-hour reminder. If you add an adjustment within 24 hours of your appointment, please contact our office via phone to go through our pre-screening protocol.

We appreciate your cooperation and patience with us throughout the last month and into the next month. 

If there is anything we can do to assist you, please don’t hesitate to let us know, as we will all get through this together.

Your Blood Type & Your Health

Dr. Bob DeMaria (@DruglessDoctor)

Hello Everybody, this is Dr. Bob DeMaria. 

I’d like to have some conversation with you today. 

There are so many different individuals that are coming up with ways to help improve your immune system. I want to talk to you a little bit about what I have learned in my experience. 

And this is going back to when I was a kid when it comes to a strong immune system, helping your body battle off viruses, bacteria, or whatever else might be creating distress. 

Recently, conversation has been discussed in reference to the blood type. A blood type of an individual who may in fact may have a greater issue with a virus. Well, I want you to know something. I happen to be blood type A, and the different blood types have been discussed. 

Now what's interesting about my own experience, I have suffered with cold sores or herpes simplex, which is a virus, most of my life. And many, many years ago I discovered the fact that I was blood type A, and individuals in my practice including myself who have stress or distress in their body have a greater chance to get these fever blisters which is a sign of your immune system being weak. 

So this is what I've learned. People with blood type A may have a little bit more digestive distress or not able to absorb all of their nutrients. But I've learned from my own experience is this: these are greens. Greens are an excellent source of calcium. I eat greens every day. I also supplement myself with calcium. 

This is what I really have learned. When you have stress of any kind, your body cannibalizes minerals. A common mineral to be cannibalized is calcium. Calcium helps glue cell membranes together so those unfriendly organisms can't do their dirty work. 

So what I have done personally, I've done this for many, many years, I supplement myself every day with L-Lysine HCL. "What is that Dr. Bob?" L-lysine is an amino acid that helps your body absorb calcium. I also take a product called Bio-CMP which is a calcium, magnesium, potassium proprietary blend. You can basically use almost any type of acid calcium. Acid calcium, calcium lactate, calcium citrate is easily absorbed. I would avoid calcium carbonates or any kind of calcium that has to do with digestion. 

Here's what I want you to do. If you happen to be blood type A and you have a history of getting cold sores or fever blisters you want to make sure that you're eating enough calcium. You want to minimize your stress and of course you want to minimize sugar. I want you to get into bed as early as you possibly can because that helps minimize the stress and that'll help your body overall.

I don't want you to not do all the logical rules right now. Keep your distance from people. If you're going to sneeze or cough you do it inside of your elbow. Wash your hands frequently. Use the steps that you already know. You might need to put a mask on, wear your gloves, I want you to do all that, but I also want you to be aware that you might need, I'd encourage you, L-Lysine HCL and some type of calcium. 

We are here to support you. Please pass this information on. 

We want to make a difference. I am in Naples, Florida and we also have our practice in Westlake, Ohio. - Dr. Bob
