Posted by: Franklin Drob

As some of you may have noticed, The Balancing Center is going through online changes, which includes our media presence and consistent blog posts. We are excited about creating content and sharing ideas that are significant to you and our balanced community. But most importantly, we are eager to hear your feedback and read your comments and reviews because they brighten up our day and allow us to reflect.

Virtually speaking, you can find us on Facebook and Linkedin. Whitney has been on the Facebook scene adding and updating our Fan Page with current events and useful tips. We consider the page as more of an informal conversation, one where you can leave us a comment, share a useful link, or simply create a general message for all to read. So far, we have 70+ balance members, so if you have yet to get on our fan page, now is the time.

Linked-In is typically a professional social media website for those interested in our Employee Productivity Programs. We created these programs because we recognize the value in being balanced and cared for at work. Dr. Bennett and Dr. Taka present you and your colleagues with enlightening lunch and learns, chair massages and nervous system checks. If you are interested in having the doctors come in for a lunch hour please feel free to Dr. Fedeil’s page on Linked-In and we will coordinate all the logistics.

These social media tools allow us to share our message with those who have yet to hear about our unique care and support process.

Lastly, what we are discovering has tremendous value for our online presence in this world wide web of ours is your reviews. City Search, Yelp, and Angies list provides consumers with a voice that is read by other consumers. Although each website has a different theme, the idea is simple, write about your experience and provide a rating. If you consider our rating less than five star quality, please let us know why because we lovingly welcome all your feedback So now, join our group, link into our balanced network and leave us a comment because we the enjoy the flavor of the various personalities that make up our center.

Your Body's Signals: What is it Trying to Say?

Posted by: Kc McCorriston

Our body tells us what it needs, mostly we just have to learn how to listen and understand those signals. Many people find that after coming to The Balancing Center their body awareness grows. They find themselves more in tune with the needs and desires of the body and what to do to fill those needs. One thing that some people become more in tune with is when their neck is out of alignment. People can experience many different signals for when this happens including: clumsiness, jaw clenching, discomfort, etc. It is very fascinating to see the different signals people receive. I know for one patient, she finds nervous habits (biting her cheek and biting her nails) that come up when her neck is out. For me, I know I experience signals on a mental level: irritation, lack of patience, and overall cloudiness. It's amazing how after an adjustment I feel like my feet are back on the ground and I can see things more clearly. One way to become more in touch with your body is by doing meditation, here is one meditation I found particularly useful: http://meditation-relaxation.suite101.com/article.cfm/body_awareness_meditation. It's a process to learn how to listen to our bodies and interpret signals, but in the end it is one of the most rewarding relationships to work on.

The Little Yellow Pill

Posted by: Dr. Ken Bennett



Next time you're making a run to Walgreens to restock the Advil, Aleve, or whatever it is in your medicine cabinet, you should take a second to think about what that pill is actually doing. Now, I'm not here to say that sometimes medicine isn't vital for pain relief or to save a life. It most certainly is. However, more times than not, it does not address the cause of the problem and leaves other problems behind.


At The Balancing Center, we know that the body heals from above-down-inside-out. I think we can all agree that your brain and your nervous system run everything that happens in your body. If the spine is out of alignment, that life giving information is disturbed or choked off. Your brain starts to send and receive signals trying to tell you that something is wrong. How does it do this, you ask? It gives you pain and symptoms.


We work with people everyday to help relieve pain by removing the nervous system disturbance and let the body heal itself, as only the body can, from above-down-inside-out (just typing that feels weird.) Imagine how your body likes to have its commands and chemicals altered while it's in the middle of doing something. Probably the way you would feel if someone disturbed you in the middle of a project...annoyed. What winds up happening then? You might feel better in the moment but at some point guess what shows up? Side effects!


So next time you have an ache or pain or some other symptom you might just be an adjustment or two away from allowing your body to heal from above-down-inside-out. Not only will you feel better but you get to avoid those wonderful side effects on drugs.

New Study Underway for Chiropractic Care and Hypertension

Posted by: Dr. Taka Nakaseko




I got an e-mail from the NUCCA organization this morning. The newsletter said Palmer Center for Chiropractic Research (PCCR), the world's largest chiropractic research clinic, is looking for NUCCA practitioners who are able to participate in a hypertension study. They have already been looking for 165 people with hypertension, or high blood pressure, to participate in a clinical research study with the potential for significant impact on the treatment of hypertension since December 2009. Dr. Dickholtz Sr., one of the biggest mentors of Dr. Daniel Fedeli, found and proved that the specific upper cervical technique (NUCCA) adjustment can decrease hypertension in his study in 2007.


Now, governmental organizations such as NIH, National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine, and the U.S. Health Resources and Services Administration invest millions of dollars for PCCR to duplicate Dr. Dickholtz's amazing study. The research is called Chiropractic for Hypertension in Patients (CHiP), and involves the Palmer Center for Chiropractic Research, Mount Sinai Medical Center, Miami, Fla., and Trinity at Terrace Park Family Practice, Bettendorf, Iowa. CHiP will be directed by project co-leaders Dr. Christine Goertz, Gervasio Lamas, M.D. In addition, Joseph Bergstrom, D.O. will be performing the blood pressure screenings and physical examinations for eligibility. Dr. Christine Goertz said “More than 50 million Americans suffer from high blood pressure, making it the most commonly diagnosed disease in the United States."


In addition to non-pharmacologic interventions such as diet, weight loss, exercise, stress reduction, and yoga, specific chiropractic adjustment may be proved AGAIN as the best choice to lower blood pressure with no side effects at all. In the original study, statistician said "I don't even believe it, and there it was." I can't wait to hear it again!


*We have copies of hypertension research by Dr. Dickholtz Sr. in our reception area, please feel free to take them and share with your significant others!

My Orenda International

Posted by: Dr. Dan



This posting is primarily a repeat of information in our last newsletter for those who didn't see it AND I have included additional information (which we have italicized below) about the immune enhancing, cellular detoxification product Orenda Immune. I've also included a couple of links you may find interesting and informative.

These days, there are many products that claim to cure all of your life's problems. It can be difficult to choose a product that can truly offer a solution and create positive change in your health. At The Balancing Center, we are very selective about products we support and always make it a top priority to provide you with the best that's available. All the products we recommend have been researched and personally experienced by our staff. Recently, we have found a line of products we believe will provide our patients with the support they need and deserve. We are so excited about our newest supplement line: Orenda.

Orenda is our new line of "longevity products." In order to enjoy ongoing wellness and well-being, the body must be given the opportunity to perform at its natural peak. To create this opportunity, Orenda has a three part system: Awaken, Cleanse, and Feed.

Awaken: Through the natural support of amino acids, O-Tropin focuses its anti-aging efforts on the pituitary gland and awakens the body's own anti-aging processes. The pituitary gland is the master gland and controls many of the hormones essential to healthy aging.


Cleanse: Detoxify the body and promote a strong immune system with Orenda ImmuneTM and All in One formulas. Orenda ImmuneTM is a proprietary blend of three revolutionary immune support ingredients: Calcium D-glucarate, Muramyl Peptides, and Beta 1,3 Glucans. Researched and published in respected journals around the globe,Orenda ImmuneTM provides a way to cleanse the body daily, at our most fundamental level, our cells.


Bruce H. Lipton, PhD, an internationally recognized cell biologist produced breakthrough studies on the cell membrane, which revealed that this outer layer of the cell was an organic homologue of a computer chip, the cell's equivalent of a brain. The research also showed that the environment, operating though the cell membranes, controlled the behavior and physiology of the cell, turning genes on and off. His discoveries run counter to the established scientific view that life is controlled by the genes. Bruce Lipton : The Biology Of Belief - Press Release. If the cells participation is a link to healing and consciousness, it is even more important to restore the cell membrane's capacity to function optimally. I have heard and witnessed many personal accounts of recovery from chronic, resistant and autoimmune illnesses by people incorporating Orenda ImmuneTM in their recovery program.


For more information, check out The Glucarate Report.

Feed: Take in powerful superfoods that nourish and protect the body with Oki and healthy chocolate Choki.

This triad works together like the Balance/Support/Integrate model that we embrace here at The Balancing Center. I have personally experienced great results with these products and am hearing amazing stories from patients who have integrated them into their program for health and wellness. Our adjusting protocol supports the integrity of the nervous system...the master system. With a responsive environment and healthy life choices, our potential is staggering. Meet me there!!!

Ask me or your doctor here for more information at your next appointment or visit Orenda's website at www.myorenda.com/balancingcenter! We are happy to check if this program is right for you and to set up customized recommendations for you at your next appointment.
