DeFlame your Patients with Diet and Supplements

Course Description

As little as 15 years ago diet and inflammation was not a hot topic of interest. But now information abounds regarding the relationship between diet and inflammation. In this session, learn about how a dietary excess of sugar, flour, and refined oils create chronic inflammation.

Learning Objectives

• Discuss how sugar, flour, and refined oils can inflame the body • Identify foods that promote dietary inflammation and weight gain • Discuss why supplements alone cannot adequately deflame the body • Introduce a diet and supplements to reduce chronic inflammation, rather than attempting to target a specific organ, appears to be a rational clinical approach for addressing the issue of toxicity.

Integration of Chiropractic Care into Mainstream Healthcare

Course Description

Chiropractors often feel isolated in the discussion of mainstream healthcare, believing an equal seat at the healthcare table is far fetched. This class will prove that this isolated thinking is a way of the past, and the future of healthcare depends on integration of chiropractic, now more than ever; yet it is our job to communicate this effectively. We have invited a panel of doctors to illustrate how documentation and record keeping are communication tools that allow us to interact with the allopathic community. Documented results from Gallup Poll #3 will be followed by 4 chiropractors focusing on different areas of interactive success between chiropractors and the medical model, showcasing how the collaborative community has the greatest benefit for patients. If chiropractic is to take a prominent seat at the healthcare table, it will have to do so with research, statistics, an established outlined path as described by the 5 participants in this panel, and in a spirit of cooperation. With the climate of society and ever-changing-healthcare, the time is NOW!
