Cold Laser research

We've been investigating the application and results of cold laser therapy for the past 14 months and are now satisfied that it provides significant enough clinical results to add to our office. Through personal experience and published research articles http://www.erchonia.com/default.asp?contentID=48 http://www.erchonia.com/default.asp?contentID=106 the results are overwhelmingly positive to achieve changes in the body that we couldn't get to in the past. The fact that this is a non-invasive affordable approach to health care makes the laser even more appealing.

The laser works off 2 major principles: It increases cellular communication and improves cellular regeneration. We've seen the laser work amazingly well on wound and tissue healing in acute and chronic injuries from sprains and strains to old scar tissue . The application of the laser covers many symptomatic problem areas and will be used to support the changes we initiate with the spinal adjustment/entrainment. Normally it takes 5 to 10 laser sessions to treat an area.

Our first laser workshop on February 23rd http://www.drcerami.com/pdfs/0209Workshops.pdf has filled almost immediately so we are planning at least 2 more in March and April. Please email us or call the office to attend these free seminars and get informed so you can decide whether the laser is for you.

A Trillion is a BIG number!

NEW YORK- In that strange intersection of economics and politics, there is a new fashion: Trillion is the new billion.

To provide some perspective on just how big a trillion dollars is, think about it like this: A trillion dollars is the number 1 followed by 12 zeroes.

Or you can think of it this way: "To put a trillion dollars in context, if you spend a million dollars every day since Jesus was born, you still wouldn't have spent a trillion," McConnell said. CNN checked McConnell's numbers with noted Temple University math professor and author John Allen Paulos."A million dollars a day for 2,000 years is only three-quarters of a trillion dollars. It's a big number no matter how you slice it," Paulos said.

Here's another way to look at it.
"A million seconds is about 11½ days. A billion seconds is about 32 years, and a trillion seconds is 32,000 years," Paulos said. "People tend to lump them together, perhaps because they rhyme, but if you think of it in terms of a jail sentence, do you want to go to jail for 11½ days or 32 years or maybe 32,000 years? So, they're vastly different, and people generally don't really have a real visceral grasp of the differences among them."

Those are "Bad Peanuts" Charlie Brown!

http://www.wapt.com/asseenon/18624469/detail.html

Have you ever wondered why EVERYONE who eats the bad peanuts doesn't get sick or die? Health has more to do with how healthy your body is and not whether you ate something that's going to make you sick. We'll be discussing this topic at our Monday workshop in March 2009. Watch for details.

Stay current with todays changing world

I would like to recommend a few recent books that I thought were exceptional: A nice option is to download the books into your Ipod so you can listen while walking the dog or exercising or ... almost anything! Best deals I found were at Audible and Amazon. Note:You can get a good synopsis of each book by Googling the title as I can't match the experts summary skills :-)

Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell; Another great book by the author that brought us "The Tipping Point" and "Blink". IMHO this is his best book yet. Every chapter has examples of situations that effect not only our success but also our decision making. I really enjoyed his idea of the 10,000 hour rule. Check it out.

Hot, Flat and Crowded by Thomas Friedman; This book discussed in detail how a green revolution can renew America, now more than ever. I saw a lot of parallels between our national energy policy (or lack of one0 and our health care policy (also missing). A good read to dispel old myths and present new ideas for a new world.
Side note: Friedman will be speaking locally on March 10th:http://www.umnh.utah.edu/nature

The Post American World by Fareed Zakaria; A nice follow up to Hot, Flat, Crowded . This Newsweek writer and CNN TV Host presents our world as changing rapidly and we need to get on board and understand this is not the place you once thought it was.

Movie recommendation: I give Slumdog Millionaire two big thumbs up!
