In order to maximize your health and reduce your chances of developing autoimmune diseases such as Hashimoto's, Celiac disease, rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes and other illnesses, it pays to know your blood type. Let's explore this concept in more detail.

You have no energy – after work you come home and you’re spent – nothing is getting done around the house. Getting to sleep is easy, but you wake up multiple times at night, never getting the quality of sleep that might help you feel better. When the alarm goes off, the thought of getting up in the morning gives you angst because you wonder when it will ever get better.

Gluten Sensitivity Gene Testing is Essential in Chronic Illness
Posted by Dr. Karl R.O.S. Johnson, DC on Thu, Sep 22, 2011
Gluten sensitivity is often least expected as a cause for a chronic health condition. Health challenges such as Hashimoto's, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Osteoporosis, Depression and Anxiety, Balance Disorders, Irritble Bowel Syndrome, Multiple Sclerosis, ADD/ADHD, Autism, Dyslexia, and many other maladies can be caused or triggered by gluten sensitivity.

Ever since the mid nineties when I received additional certification in pediatric chiropractic, I've continued to work on improving my treatment for children with neurobehavioral disorders. I've seen too many children with ADD, ADHD and Autism put on too many brain and body damaging drugs over the years and I just had to do something about it...at least in my geographic area.
I have been treating kids using typical chiropractic treatments with developmental and behavior concerns since the mid ‘1990s’ after I earned fellowship status from The International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (ICPA). Some success was obvious (less fidgeting and better focus) but the improvements were not predictable. Many parents were desperately trying to help their child perform without putting them on medications. I offered the clinical skills I had at the time.

Why Do I Have to Exclude Gluten for Life? - I'm Feeling Fine
Posted by Dr. Karl R.O.S. Johnson, DC on Wed, Sep 07, 2011
We are all creatures of habit, but when it comes to our food selections we can make "CRAZY" decisions. Gluten can be very difficult to give up because of a little talked about compound it contains. Often this compound can lead to addiction to wheat. Similar compounds can lead to addiction to dairy and soy as well. If the proper testing is not done - dire health consequences can be yours due to irrational decisions.

Allergies and Autoimmune Disease - An Immune System Imbalance
Posted by Dr. Karl R.O.S. Johnson, DC on Tue, Sep 06, 2011
Thanks to Dr. Robert E. Zee, B.S., Eng., D.C. for the following blog post, which I repost here with his permission. I find it explains the concept of why the immune system gets out of balance. As you might expect, I recommend you always attempt to get to the bottom of a health challenge, rather that treating just the symptoms or outward signs. That is what constitutes true heatlth care.
