Sinusitis-Bugs Up Your Nose?
Did you know that we all have what's called "normal flora" up our noses? The truth is some kinds of bacteria ("normal flora") live out their lives in our sinus cavities.

CHIROPRACTIC FOR ARTHRITIS—Research Study
Recently, one of our chiropractic sources printed a very interesting article reviewing a study published in the "Annals of Internal Medicine". Results are summarized below.

The speakers included, Stephen Straus, M.D., head of the National Institutes of Health's National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine and Andrew Weil, M.D., director of the program in integrative medicine at the

Celebrities Seek Chiropractic
A recent internet article gave some interesting information on one of the world's most famous faces. For years we've seen and heard in the news about the health challenges faced by Elizabeth Taylor.

It was wonderful to read in this piece that she had sought out the care of a chiropractor with great results. She credits her chiropractor with rehabilitation and recovery from back problems. Miss Taylor is hardly the only celebrity to utilize chiropractic care to regain and maintain her health. Other chiropractic regulars include Warren Beatty, James Earl Jones, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jack Nicholson, Julie Andrews, Jane Seymour, and Mel Gibson.
