Breathe Easier

Dear Friends,
A few years ago I was doing a house call on an elderly gentleman who was homebound with COPD (a lung condition from years of smoking and working in a factory).  The poor guy was miserable because COPD is like a slow suffocation so he had to be on oxygen constantly.

Any type of respiratory issue, from anxiety attacks, allergies, asthma, COPD, emphysema, pneumonia, etc. leads to neck and low back pain because those areas help lift the ribcage with stress breathing.

So I was treating “John Doe” and he said, “Boy. I feel not so good and a bit light headed.” I looked down and I happened to be standing on his oxygen hose. OOPS! 

My response was shameless I’ll admit. “John, I have a feeling after I adjust you and leave that you are going to feel much better within minutes!”  I didn’t lie 🙂

In all honesty, if you have a breathing issue chiropractic can be very instrumental in helping the strain on the skeleton and muscles from breathing difficulties.  Even without me stepping on your O2 hose!

We are coming into prime allergy season and that means there is the opportunity to look at better health options for treating breathing issues. I have a water filter name “First Need” which is actually a misnomer because it’s the second need. OXYGEN is 1st. If you submerge yourself in water, I bet in less than a minute you’ll choose air over water!

Here are our top allergy recommendations:

Allerplex– like a multiple for allergies. 

  • All the nutrients needed to support the immune/allergy response.
  • Support for clearing histamine and clearing the liver. 
  • Support for the adrenal. 
  • This is best started before symptoms have appeared and taken through the allergy season as it effects you.

Antronex– like a natural Benadryl but won’t make you sleepy.  

  • Acts like an antihistamine but actually clears excess histamine thus no side effects. 
  • Take this as needed or proactively when you might be entering into a potential allergy situation like going to mow the grass.

Allergco– incredible herbal. 

  • Remedy for reducing allergy response.  
  • Acts more quickly that allerplex.  
  • Can use continuously or as needed.  
  • Mix of albizia for upper respiratory and black cumin seed for lower respiratory symptoms.  
  • We have had fabulous results with this

Diet-broken record

  • DECREASE sugar and you will decrease your inflammation.
  • Rinse your nasal passage regularly with Neli Med.

I’m snot kidding you this stuff really works if you are looking for some natural yet effective remedies.

God Bless,
Dr. Dan

Testimonial

Kurt Bassuener, President of MWS Associates, Inc.

MWS Associates has leased office space in the Business Center since the inception of our company in 2018 and from 2015-2018 with the previous company that I worked for.  The Business Center was the clear choice for us to locate our main office for several reasons: location, cost effectiveness, reliable high-speed internet, services offered and full access to the conference room.  It truly offers everything our company needs to headquarter our business from without the hassle of owning our own office building with the maintenance, yard care and snowplowing that goes along with ownership.  

A major benefit for us is the ability to host in-person and online meetings in the newly renovated, state-of-the-art conference room.  COVID changed many aspects of our business with a major increase in online meetings being one of them.  Many companies struggled with technology issues to host or participate in online meetings with poor audio, video quality, background noise and unprofessional business settings negatively affecting meetings.  The size, layout and quality of the A/V equipment of the conference room now allows us to host annual company-wide in-person meetings as well. Every October we bring our entire staff in from around the country for weeklong meetings and the conference room comfortably allows us to host 20+ people.  The setting also allows us to host on-site meetings with key accounts.  Clients appreciate being able to combine a business trip with bringing their family to enjoy a few extra days to experience all Door County has to offer.
