The Nordic maintenance care program: what are the indications for maintenance care in patients with low back pain? A survey of the members of the Danish Chiropractors' Association
Conclusions:
There is relatively high consensus on when MC should and should not be used. A history of prior low back pain combined with a positive response to treatment encourages the use of MC, whereas no previous history of back pain or a worsening of symptoms discourages the use of MC. There seems to be a difference in the proportional use of MC between chiropractors with more experience educated in North America and those with less experience educated in Denmark.

Simple Nutrient Gives You Bones of Steel
Dear Health Conscious Reader,
Mainstream medicine has missed the boat on this one.
Youâre constantly warned about the danger of high-protein diets.
And this is the worst part. They tell you that the reason you have to avoid a high-protein diet is that it weakens your bones.
The truth is the exact opposite. High protein strengthens your bones.
I always knew this to be true. Now Iâve just run across some very interesting proof.
Thereâs a study that came out in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition that shows that people who had adequate calcium and high protein intakes had the highest bone densities.1
It finally proved to the naysayers that when you eat more protein, it helps your body absorb more calcium.
This makes perfect sense. Because think about our native ancestors.
Our nat......

Dear Health Conscious Reader,

83,000 Heart Attacks Are Not Enough?
Dear Health Conscious Reader,
An FDA panel has just ruled that the diabetes drug Avandia should remain on the market.
This despite the fact that itâs been linked to 83,000 heart attacks and 304 deaths.1,2
Well⦠that sounds like great news for GlaxoSmithKline, who makes the drug. But I donât think anyone should ever take any drugs like this. Hereâs whyâ¦
Most diabetes drugs like Avandia regulate dangerous blood-sugar levels. But diabetes is NOT caused by high blood sugar. Itâs caused by insulin resistance â meaning cells donât respond adequately to insulin.
And this problem can be managed completely through choosing the right food.
You see, when you eat, your body breaks down sugars into glucose, and insulin carries it to your cells for energy. But if you eat too many high-su......

Ethnoveterinary plant remedies used by Nu people in NW Yunnan of China
Conclusion:
Animal production plays an important role in Nu culture and livelihoods, and the Nu ethnic group has abundant traditional knowledge about animal production and ethnoveterinary plant remedies. This traditional knowledge faces the risk of disappearing due to increasing modern veterinary medicine extension, livelihood changes and environment degradation. Animal diseases are a major constraint in livestock production in Nu villages. Thus, some strategies and measures should be adopted in the future, such as further research on Nu culture and livelihoods, community-based validation of ethnoveterinary medicine and broad network building and knowledge sharing.
