Genetically Modified Foods (GMOs)

Genetically modified foods may be associated with allergies, immune problems, faulty insulin regulation, and other health problems---the bottom line is, we don't really know for sure. The long term effects aren't fully understood. In addition, many GMO crops are designed to resist herbicides and pests, so they are loaded with toxic residues. Wouldn't you like to know whether a food contains GMOs, so you make a choice of whether to eat it or not? An initiative on the CA ballot will allow people to vote to require LABELING of GMO foods.

Facet Compression

Facet compression in the spine can be very painful. The facets are the parts of the vertebrae that actually touch ( the vertebral bodies are separated by the discs). When the facets get "jammed," the muscles and other soft tissue in the area may become tense and inflammed. This needs precise ACTIVATOR chiropractic adjustments to relieve.
