Drug Company, Pfizer, Gets Fined 2.3 Billion-Largest Criminal Fine in U.S. History!

September 4, 2009

Just finished a friday morning of adjusting great practice members that trully want to get and stay healthy, now I’m ready to get outside and enjoy the Labor Day weekend!
Got word from colleage, Dr. Steve Edling, that 2 days ago the Federal Government fined Pfizer, the largest drug company in the world, 2.3 billion dollars. 1.2 billion of this is for a criminal fine, which is the largest in United States history! Go online to read the details to read about the 4 drugs they made, marketed, and sold without approval. Is this not a big deal? Listen, I can garrauntee that you will never find health in a pill shaped form.
Let me ask you now, if you have a pebble in your shoe, does it make sense to cover this pain sensation up with a pain med, or should you take action and actually remove the pebble?
Everyone wants benefits, insurance reform, change. Let me tell you that the BEST change and reform should occur within your daily lifestyle and taking responsibility for your health. Invest in yourself.
Now, if you have a stiff and locked up spine your aging is accelerated. Get adjusted to address the cause and get things moving again. Don’t go eat fast food, don’t suck down mountain dews and snack on sugary foods. Hydrate more. Eat meats, fruits, and veggies. Get some exercise, anything. Give more than you receive. Most importantly, have a positive attitude.
Bottom Line…. Your Health is your responsibility, don’t expect your insurance company or drug company to get and keep you healthy.

Strong message, but it’s the truth. My wife, Mary, is 6 months pregnant and is doing great. She is really the picture of Health and trully leads by example. She gets DAILY exercise, drinks at least 80-100oz. of water per day, eats healthy, has a great attitude a great husband!! We are going to get stuff done around the house this weekend and enjoy our son Lucas, 2 1/2.
In health,

Are you Inflammed?

April 15, 2009

What an awesome spring day!  Get outside, get some sun (vit D), and get some spring cleaning done on your yard and your body!  Check out this site to get some great info and open your eyes up to what seem so obvious.

Here’s the deal…  Why is inflammation bad for us?  Because it causes most chronic diseases.  Heart disease, cancer, arthritities, chronic pain syndromes, depression, digestive disorders, etc.  you name it and you’ll see that inflammation is a huge reason you feel the way you do.

So, does it make sense to address the cause of the problem?  Check out www.deflame.com to see get some good info on what you need to get rid of in or life and what you should add.

What’s an anti- inflammatory food?  Anything vegetable, anything green, anything man has not got his hands on to make it taste so good or look so pretty.

Broccoli, spinach, lettuce, all colored vegetables, fresh fruits, fresh fish, wild game, almonds, red wine and even stout beer for some you beer drinkers!

Begin by adding a fish oil supplement (2 grams/day) which doesn’t smell or taste rancid, which is about 70% of the time.  You can get a great brand at my office.

Start today, any questions call me!  I’m in, who’s joining me!?  Add life to your years and years to your life!

In health, Dr. Ryan

Survive or Thrive?

March 3, 2009

Your yealth is your responsibility and your

choice.  Because your central nervous system

controls and coordinates all other systems in the body, including your blood vessels, glands and organs, it is ESSENTIAL to keep your spine healthy and balanced.  Your spine needs three things to get and stay healthy.

1.  Movement

2.  Hydration (water)

3.  Nutrients

Here are a few things to consider in your life to help you make your choice on if you’ll SURVIVE or THRIVE!

You can SURVIVE without exercise.

You can SURVIVE if you drink pop and eat cookies.

You can SURVIVE with poor posture.

You can SURVIVE with a bad attitude.

You will THRIVE with daily outdoor exercise!

You will THRIVE if you eat fruits, veggies, and get proper hydration!

You will THRIVE by getting adjusted and having good posture!

You will THRIVE with a positive attitude!

I want to know what makes you THRIVE!  In health,  Dr. Ryan

Birkie Fever Has Come and Gone

February 25, 2009
great time of year to get out and enjoy the ski trail

great time of year to get out and enjoy the ski trail

Great job to all those who raced, participated, volunteered, or watched the Birki!  What an amazing event.  

This was my 2nd birkie and preperation consisted of 2-3 months of speed and endurance workouts to prepare for skiing about 32 miles.  Starting in the 1st wave was a learning experience, very intense and you need to ski within yourself.  Finished in 2 hours 43 min, 252 place overall.  My wife, Mary, did really well with a 3 hour 26 minute birkie.  Can’t wait until next year to set new goals and improve.

That’s what I want for all of you too.  Set new goals and improve.  You need to mentally think about where you’d like your health to be, now and also 20 years from now.  Then, take an action step of committing to better health.  Really, if you don’t have your health, what do you have?  Pretty tough to enjoy the things you like to do with poor health, no energy, and pain.

So,  there is no better time than right now to start moving more, eating better, and thinking positive.  2 weeks from now we’ll have temps in the 40s and the vit D from the sun will regenerate your energy levels. 

Think progress and not perfection with this.  Drink a little more water, get outside and go for a walk, sit up straighter.  Great, that’s a start! 

I want to hear from you on what your goals and improvements will be.  Feel free to post a comment and be ready for some great health related tips in the future!

In health,

Dr. Ryan
