A report yesterday confirmed that America really is the Prince of Pill Popping!Here's what was revealed in this report concerning taking prescription medications for chronic conditions usually daily:

·         51% of all Americans (Adults & Children) are on medications for chronic conditions

·         almost two thirds of women over 20 years old take medications for chronic conditions -- usually daily

·         1 in 4 children and teenagers take a medication for chronic conditions

·         3 out of 4 adults over 65 take a medication for a chronic condition

·         28% of women over 65 take 5 or more medications per day

·         22% of men over 65 take 5 or more medications per day 

The AP article reporting this study discussed a 57-year-old woman from New Jersey, who is taking 18 prescription medications per day.  This woman was taking medication for blood pressure, diabetes, chronic back and shoulder pain, asthma and fibromyalgia. 

When the body is functioning the way that it is supposed to, you should never need medication.  It is my greatest purpose and mission to somehow change this by getting Americans to take accountability and responsibility for their health. 

In my 25 years of practice, I cannot tell you how many of these individuals.  Just like the lady taking the 18 prescription medications per day walk into my office with nearly every condition under the sun, because their real problem is that their body just is not functioning properly. 

We are absolutely able to change these people’s lives by following our 6 Essentials to Health. 

I hope you looked at those statistics, and just shake your head and say that just is not right!  Your body is under siege.  It's under siege by the pharmaceutical companies, who just want to make you the money maker for these drugmakers.  It's time to say no way, it's time to take back your health!   If you have a health condition, and he don't know where to turn, if you're on medication, and you're wondering if there is an alternative or a different way, if you want to be healthy.  Free from medication, free from the ravages of these symptoms.  Just go to the ask Dr. Ray section of this website and feel free to ask a question. 

Take back your good health by seeing a specific structural correction chiropractor, who will remove any interference to your nerve system, get your first morning urine pH back to the normal 6.4 to 7.0 range, begin the NutriMost superfood trio to guarantee optimum nutrition and health.

These are the opinions of Dr. Ray Wisniewski, The Nutrition Answerman, and one of America’s Premier Doctors.  Dr. Ray Wisniewski is a Pittsburgh Chiropractor, with offices in Penn Hills, Greentree / Crafton, and Murrysville.

Yesterday on Fox news, I saw the story of a 24-year-old Englishwoman, Fiona Shaw,  who lost 42 pounds, while she was pregnant, due to morning sickness (hyperemesis gravidarum).  Apparently the condition caused her baby girl to be born cesarean section at only 28 weeks, because she was not gaining any weight and had developed an abnormal heart rate.  The baby girl, Tianna, weighed only 2 lbs. 5 oz. and was born with severely underdeveloped lungs, causing her to develop several serious lung infections.  Today Tianna weighs 15 pounds, and both her and her mother are doing well.

Although this is considerably abnormal to lose this much weight during pregnancy, it is absolutely amazing to me how little the medical profession understands about how the body works.

Morning sickness can usually be eliminated within 1 or 2 days.  Yes, you read that right, 1 or 2 days!  In fact, Imagine all the women who suffered, day after day, all the nausea, and all the other unpleasant things that go with it, when it could been gone in 2 days or less.

Morning sickness is due to an imbalance in the splenic/adrenal axis due to the increased stresses of pregnancy, particularly when the body is already in a disordered intestinal bacterial ecology due to the splenic/adrenal axis imbalance.

Basically this means, that the adrenal gland isn't functioning properly, and the body needs a little bit of a boost.  So the question is, what are we going to do for this that is going to get rid of this suffering in under 2 days.  After all, this is supposed to be a very exciting time!!

Here is the average dose for a patient coming into my office of relative good health weighing 130 lbs.

A new study, done by doctors in Belarus and Canada was released today, indicating that babies who are breast-fed, definitely score higher in IQ and intelligence tests.

Previous studies have shown that babies whose mothers breast-feed have less ear infections, stomach or intestinal infections, lower incidence of asthma, less digestive problems, skin diseases, allergies, as well as a lower risk of developing high blood pressure, diabetes or obesity.

This should be absolutely no surprise!  It is only when man gets involved and tries to make things like infant formula that things tend to go downhill.

All we have to do is ask, what is the perfect formula for infants?  It has to be mothers milk -- to say otherwise is to say that man can do better than God.  I remember when scientists observed infants, and then observed mothers milk and said we can do better.  And they concluded that mothers milk didn't have iron.  So they made infant formula with iron, and during that time it seemed that nearly all of these infants were colic, because infants can't digest iron.  But the problem was, even when they marked the formula as with iron or without iron, mothers wanting to give their child the very best, would purchase it with iron.

One of the very best things you can do for your child to assure a good healthy life and a healthy start is to breast-feed your child for at least the first 12 to 18 months, and to get their spine checked to be certain there is no interference or sedated nerves supplying the organs of their body.  These are by far the two best things you can do to assure the health of your child.

If you did not breast-feed your child, --  then for about one year, I would mix in approximately 1 tablespoon of colostrum into their food every day.

Colostrum is like a stand-in immune system.  Our colostrum is 25% or more immunoglobulins.  This is the first line of defense at the intestinal tract.  When you are on colostrum, the immunoglobulins within colostrum takeover the job of the intestine for defense, which now allows your white blood cells to go to work elsewhere.  And if that's not enough, our colostrum has 6 mg per gram of lactoferrin, which is a natural compound to promote healthy oxygen transport in the blood.  And of course colostrum is also extremely rich in the elusive N-acetylneuraminic acid (NAA).  In fact colostrum is one of the only known food sources of N-acetylneuraminic acid, which is one of the eight healing sugars.
