Way to go teams, keep up the good work and remember points are due every Monday.

Remember your protein choices. Too many people are still doing meals that are just one big carb bomb. Remember that protein is necessary at every meal, including breakfast. Don't just have your steel cut oatmeal, but make sure to add two poached eggs. Make sure to add protein to your shakes. Dinner shouldn't just be some pasta with cheese. Try some fresh wild salmon with veggies or some great grilled chicken with a wonderful salad. When you eat protein, you will feel full and satisfied.

Here's today's tip for better nutritional choices in 2010---

Hang out in the produce aisle. Think of the produce aisle at your local grocery story as one of your primary shopping areas and really take a good look at what's offered. The fun part here is to buy a new vegetable each week and then go on the internet or figure out a recipe to cook it in a healthy way.

With most veggies, you can never go wrong stir frying in a little extra virgin olive oil with some fresh herbs or garlic.

Once a week make a large pan of roasted veggies in your oven. Cut your veggies, drizzle with olive oil and then toss with some salt and pepper. Bake until brown, eat with your meals, and save the leftovers for wraps and salads. When you have them handy, you will eat them.

Yes, a new decade means a fresh new take on eating in a clean and healthful way. I'm looking
at 2010 as a wake up call when it comes to making nutrition conscious choices. Maybe the goal is to lose 50 pounds or those stubborn last 10. Or perhaps you just want to feel less sluggish and avoid those afternoon slumps. The key is fourfold: what's on your plate, how you move, how you think, and your nervous system health.

Today, I'll focus on what you're eating. I have a few great ways to toss Ben and Jerry out of your house and replace them with fruits, vegetables and other exciting ways to re-energize your life food-wise in the new year. It is called our Life Without Limits program. It is a 40 day competition to revolutionize your health in 2010. The first day begins January 18---SO GET IN AND LET WELL BEGIN IN 2010!!!

According to Natural News, research into internal company documents has revealed that Pfizer Inc., the world's largest research-based pharmaceutical company, tampered with the results of at least 16 study reports about its epiliepsy drug, Neurontin. In order to expand the market for the drug, Pfizer unlawfully removed, altered, and changed published study findings that revealed unavorable results.

Just remember pharmaceutical companies are public corporations. They exist to make money for their share holders.

1. Get adjusted ---it can boost your immunity by 400%. My faithful practice members rarely get sick.
2. Eliminate sugar
3. Eliminate pasteurized, conventional milk. It is a DEAD food once it has been pasteurized.
4. Drink water from a pure source.
5. Eat organic whole foods whenever possible. This places less stress on the tissues responsible for detoxifying.
6. Eat ABC's on a regular basis: 1/2 apple, 1/3 cup beets, and 4 or 5 baby carrots.
7. Have your vitamin D tested, take 2,000 to 10,000 I.U. of D3 depending on your results.

Spinal adjustments strengthen your immune system. My regular patients do not get sick; if they do it is because they ate sugar or are under stress.

The tonsils are a vital part of the immune system; the outright massive removal of tonsils in the 1960's is one of the dozens of examples of "wrong thinking" ad practice by the medical community. If you know someone right now that is going to get their tonsils out, I would strongly encourage them to get off dairy and sugar - drink more water and get rid of the soda and Kool-Aid. Watch the improvement that takes place!
