Pop star Michael Jackson died of sudden cardiac arrest, according to press reports. This shocking news of Michael’s death is a shock to people all around the globe. Michael’s long awaited comeback is nothing but what could have been.

Michael Jackson was twice inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, 13 of his songs hit No. 1 and he won 13 Grammy Awards.

Jackson made his debut with the Jackson 5 at the age 11 and in the early 1980’s Michael Jackson became a dominant figure in pop music. Michael also raised millions of dollars for his foundation Heal the World Foundation and supported as many as 39 other charities.  

I wouldn’t say Michael is my favorite artist…he did become a little strange…but many of his songs I love to “rock out” to. He was a good entertainer but the music is what I appreciated.

Heart attacks are one of the leading causes of death amoung Americans. There are many heart and blood diseases, heart attacks is the most common. It’s said that everyone will have minor heart attacks through their life and not know that it ever happened.

American diet and lifestyle is not what it was 30 years ago. World Health Organization (WHO) says that cancer will overtake and could be the world’s top killer by 2010. Download Cancer_Expected_As_Worlds_Top_Killer_By_2010[1]

 

Many people — possibly even you — are suffering from hidden inflammation that is the real cause of such heart attacks. Simple nutritional approaches could have saved Michael Jackson’s life. Michael Jackson didn’t have to die…

What does it take for people to slow down these days? It seems that we all race around day-in-day-out getting kids to school, jamming to work, deleting emails, meeting dead lines, traffic, finally making it to bed around 11PM and doing all over again.

That lifestyle everyday is a one way road to an overstressed body and deterring health. So for the sake of having as much fun as possible on Father’s Day and every other day, we need to learn how to balance our lives. By balancing our lifestyle we’ll enjoy vibrant health, time with our children, and living life like it should, having fun.

I’ve learned a lot about health over the last two years and will share what I’ve learned about alkaline ionized water as well as alkaline diets at this weekend’s water clinic with Drs. Presnick Saturday 10am.

We’ll meet in Martinez and you can RSVP to 925-609-9355 or contact me for address. Since working with Drs. Presnick I’ve learned much more about alkaline diets and why it’s important to balance our lifestyle. Join us if you want vibrant health and provide the best for your family. I am much more aware about what I was doing to my body and now two years later feel much better in my health.

Then for Dad’s Day it’s off to Martinez Chamber King of the County, BBQ and Music  Festival. We love BBQ, live music, being out side, checking out 1951 Chevy’s and running around with the kids.

So I wish all the families a good time this weekend. Live to the fullest and be safe doing it.

STROKE  IDENTIFICATION

A neurologist says that if he can get to a  stroke victim within 3 hours he can totally reverse the effects of a stroke…totally. He said the trick was getting a stroke recognized, diagnosed, and then getting the patient medically cared for  within 3 hours, which is tough.

RECOGNIZING A STROKE – Read and Learn!

Sometimes symptoms of a stroke are difficult to identify. Unfortunately, the lack of awareness spells disaster. The stroke victim may suffer severe brain damage when people nearby fail to recognize the symptoms of a stroke.

Now doctors say a bystander can recognize a stroke by asking three simple questions:

S  Ask the individual to SMILE. 

T  Ask the person to TALK and SPEAK A SIMPLE SENTENCE  (Coherently)

(i.e. It is sunny out today.) 

R  *Ask him or her to RAISE BOTH ARMS.

If he or she has trouble with ANY ONE of these tasks, call emergency number  immediately and describe the symptoms to the  dispatcher.

New  Sign of a Stroke ——– Stick out Your Tongue

NOTE:  Another ’sign’ of a stroke is this: Ask the person to ’stick’ out his  tongue.. If the tongue is ‘crooked’, if it goes to one side or the  other, that  is also an indication of a stroke.

A cardiologist says if everyone forwards this to 10 people; you can bet that at least one life will be saved.  I have done my part….will you?

According to a 1998 government study, 43% of those who make it to age 65 are destined to enter a nursing home at some time during their life. So basically you have a 50-50 chance to spend your later years warehoused somewhere.

Unfortunately with the explosion of chronic life threatening  diseases, you may not get the chance. Cancer can strike any organ in your body…Heart disease, strokes, diabetes…these major killers end millions of peoples lives each year.

Before disease sets into your body to where you become so feeble that you can’t even go to the toilet without help…pumped full of drugs just to keep you alive…take the opportunity to change your future by changing what you consume.

The hardest thing for someone to do is change their diet. People love fast food, Starbucks, cookies and ice cream. People these days are substituting healthy alkaline diets with a dumping ground of acidic diets and lifestyles. 

It’s known that people will spend more on their health in the last two years of their life than all the years of their life. Are you going to be someone who becomes so feeble that you have to have someone help you go to the toilet? Or should you learn more about the alkaline diet and live life to its fullest.

The American Cancer Society Relay For Life® unites communities across the country each year to celebrate the lives of those who have battled cancer, remember loved ones lost, and those who fight back against this deadly disease.

This year marks the beginning of 25 years of Relay For Life®. The American Cancer Society fights cancer on four fronts: research, education, advocacy, and service.

This year starts the beginning of alkaline ionized water from Ionways as part of the regime. All participants will receive free alkaline ionized water all day. We plan to share water and information about alkaline diets on how this alkaline lifestyle can help people find improved health.

I’m fortunate for the people and opportunities I have in life. Most recently

Drs. Bruce & Laura Presnick have joined forces and together we continue to investigate the benefits of ionized water.

Drs. Bruce & Laura Presnick are both chiropractors who have been in private practice since 1978. Dr. Laura has a post-graduate degree in Clinical Nutrition and is a Certified Clinical Nutritionist. Dr. Bruce has a post-gradate degree in Chiropractic Orthopedics and specialized in sports and work related injuries.

Together we will investigate the claim that alkaline water will hydrate cells more efficiently.  Drs. Presnick office has a bio-impedance analyzer, which measures intracellular water.  More water on the inside of the cell the healthier.

  Fully Hydrated Cell Dehydrated Cell

 

American Sports Medicine suggests a person drink half their body weight in ounces of water daily. 150 lb. person would be 75 ounces. Really not that much water.

 

Our study is a two week trial drinking our alkaline ionized water. Dr. Presnick  will measure your cell hydration levels before and after your 2 week trial of alkaline water.  This will help us determine some of the health claims made by the manufacturer. 

 

To assist us in our investigation, call or stop by the office and the staff will get you started. 395 Civic Drive Ste. C Pleasant Hill, CA 925-609-9355
