Traces of mercury found in brands such as Quaker, Kraft, Smucker’s, Hershey’s and Pop Tart

A new report from researchers states that 17 out of 55 products purchased contained traces of mercury.  Wow. 

It appears that the processing that is required to make high fructose corn syrup can leave traces of mercury.  The really scary part is that as you read down the list of products mentioned in the link below, you can’t help but think that these are products that are regularly consumed by children.  HOWEVER, this article states that the food industry maintains that the products are safe.  Hmmmm….  I wouldn’t recommend that you stock up on any of these products or any processed food containing high fructose corn syrup.

A Party in Your Spine

So what’s with the popping associated with certain types of Chiropractic adjustments?  Isn’t cracking your joints supposed to be bad for you?

Not all Chiropractic techniques involve the ‘cavitation’ of joints (the escape of oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon dioxide, which releases joint pressure).  Some use table or instrument assisted adjustments where no appreciable cavitation is experienced.  The ones that do however are no less safe, comfortable and effective at reducing spinal fixation, clearing nerve interference (subluxations) and improving your health.  As a matter of fact, it’s been shown by John Hopkins University that joint cavitation (specifically in the hand) does not contribute to the formation of arthritis as once believed!

When you hear the noise from a professionally delivered adjustment, it’s similar to the pressure release you get from opening a bottle of champagne.  It’s like having a party in your spine!  Ultimately, with less pressure your joints move better, line up better and just plain feel better.
