New Treatment Methods Offer Blessed Relief for Fibromyalgia Sufferers
Posted by Dr. Karl R.O.S. Johnson, DC on Sun, Sep 16, 2012
I've got good news for fibromyalgia sufferers (and for people with chronic dizziness, migraines, insomnia, restless leg syndrome, sciatica, shoulder and arm pain)!
Always on the search for “tools” to help patients who aren’t expressing health in an optimal way I discovered an approach that provides miraculous results for many. Several years ago, when I went to a conference in Atlanta Georgia I learned about combining the knowledge I have been using for years with functional neurology.

When Is A Food Really Gluten Free? How Do I Reclaim My Life?
Posted by Dr. Karl R.O.S. Johnson, DC on Sun, Sep 09, 2012
When is the color blue, NOT the color blue? Of course, it's when the color is purple...or does purple contain some blue. One could debate about color gradation for the good part of an hour, if one had the time to ponder such things. I for one, do not have the time to do so, nor the desire. However, I have been asked many times by my patients what gluten free really means. Unfortunately, if you get on the internet, you will find this area of discussion quite confusing. The term gluten-free is generally used to indicate a supposed harmless level of gluten rather than a complete absence of gluten.[1] The exact level at which gluten is harmless is uncertain and controversial, however. Depending on what country you reside, gluten free has varying definitions and hence the regulations for labeling a food gluten free varies too.
