Enhancing Blood Circulation with PEMF For Improved Health and Healing

Posted by Dr. Karl R.O.S. Johnson, DC on Tue, Sep 19, 2023

AMPLIFYING NITRIC OXIDE

One of the major advantages of PEMF therapy is its ability to optimize blood flow. By stimulating the production of nitric oxide1, a vital molecule that relaxes blood vessels and enhances blood circulation, PEMF therapy plays a significant role in improving overall health and promoting healing. Nitric oxide acts as a powerful vasodilator, expanding blood vessels and reducing resistance, allowing for more efficient blood flow. This increased circulation ensures that oxygen, nutrients, and immune cells are delivered effectively to various tissues and organs, ultimately supporting the body's healing process.

These scientific investigations into the effects of PEMF therapy on blood circulation have yielded consistently remarkable results. The studies have shown that PEMF therapy not only significantly increases blood flow velocity but also improves microcirculation, leading to enhanced oxygenation of tissues. One study, in particular, stands out for its findings published in the prestigious Journal of Orthopaedic Research. This study revealed that PEMF therapy can produce a remarkable increase in blood flow of up to 35% in the treated area2.

Mushrooms - What is The Hype? Part Two

Posted by Dr. Evelin Valdez, ND on Tue, Sep 12, 2023

Mushrooms with special health benefits 

As most of you know, my last Health and Wellness article was about the benefits of eating mushrooms and integrating mushrooms like Shitake, Portobellos, Enoki, Morels, Chanterelles, etc.  Today, I will talk a little bit about mushrooms that have more than nutritional benefits – mushrooms that have medicinal properties.  Disclaimer: Even though psychedelic mushrooms do have medicinal properties and have been used for healing in many ancient and traditional societies, I will not be discussing the benefits of these mushrooms in this article.

Functional, also called medicinal mushrooms, in addition to being nutrient dense, provide a myriad of health benefits ranging from immune support, variety of antioxidants, natural and non-addictive energy and stamina, balance blood sugar, cognitive and brain health, nervous system support, and support a healthy inflammatory response.

Why PEMF May Be a Helpful Tool for Stroke Recovery

Posted by Dr. Karl R.O.S. Johnson, DC on Tue, Sep 05, 2023

What is PEMF?

PEMF, short for Pulsed Electromagnetic Field therapy, is a cutting-edge treatment that utilizes electromagnetic fields to stimulate healing and recovery in the body. This non-invasive therapy has gained attention in the medical field for its potential in stroke recovery and prevention. But what exactly is PEMF and how does it work?

PEMF therapy involves the use of electromagnetic fields that are carefully tuned to specific frequencies and intensities. These electromagnetic fields are applied to the body through specialized devices, such as mats or handheld devices, which deliver the pulses directly to the affected areas.

Mushrooms - What is The Hype?

Posted by Dr. Evelin Valdez, ND on Wed, Aug 02, 2023

Everyone is talking about mushrooms these days – nutritional and psychedelic mushrooms. Here I will only talk about the benefits of nutritional mushrooms and why we should include them in our daily diets. 

A Closer Look at Mushrooms

Mushrooms have been cherished and even treasured for thousands of years.  Our ancestors have known about the healing and nutritional values of mushrooms.  The Chinese have long considered mushrooms to be a medicinal food to maintain good health. The Greeks even believed that the consumption of mushrooms makes a man physically strong. And in modern day Japan, mushrooms are used to treat cancer. 

Mushrooms are not uncommon in the American diet. However, most of the very nutritious and health improving mushrooms are not well known nor much consumed.  Even though, mushrooms are often treated like vegetables, they really are not.  They are a type of fungus.

Nutritional Supplements for Reducing Neuropathy: A Comprehensive Guide

Posted by Dr. Karl R.O.S. Johnson, DC on Tue, Jul 25, 2023

Neuropathy, also known as peripheral neuropathy, is a condition that affects the peripheral nervous system, which consists of the nerves outside of the brain and spinal cord. It occurs when there is damage or dysfunction to these peripheral nerves, leading to a variety of symptoms.

The peripheral nerves are responsible for transmitting signals between the central nervous system (the brain and spinal cord) and the rest of the body, including the muscles, organs, and sensory receptors. They play a crucial role in motor function, sensation, and autonomic functions (such as heart rate and digestion).

Neuropathy can affect a single nerve (mononeuropathy) or multiple nerves (polyneuropathy). It can also be categorized based on the specific types of nerves affected, such as sensory, motor, or autonomic nerves. The most common form of neuropathy is peripheral polyneuropathy, which involves damage to multiple peripheral nerves. Let's explore causes, symptoms, treatments, and the essential nutrients needed for helping defeat neuropathy.

An Important Overlooked Cardiovascular Lab Test Most Cardiologists Do Not Check (but Should)

Posted by Dr. Karl R.O.S. Johnson, DC on Tue, Jul 11, 2023

For most people cholesterol has been considered the cardiovascular lab test to monitor to assess your risk of a cardiovascular event. However, increased cholesterol levels were found in less than 50% of all heart attack and stroke victims.

Researchers at the World Health Organization published a study which pointed to an overlooked risk factor that seemed to account for the other half.
