Lost in the headlines over the sheer number of deaths from overdoses of the drugs -- more than 90 Americans each day -- is how all too many patients’ downward spiral began with what must have seemed like a routine initial doctor’s prescription for painkillers like OxyContin.
ommended spinal manipulation. The month-long series of nationwide events -- open to the public, state legislators, and healthcare professionals -- will highlight the value of chiropractic for seniors, athletes, pregnant women, military veterans, and other pain sufferers.
“It’s become a sadly common story,” NPR reported. “People get prescribed painkillers. They become addicted. And then they seek out cheaper and more potent drugs like heroin and synthetic opioids.” That the September designation comes from the Foundation for Chiropractic Progress, and is included on the SHSMD/American Hospital Association’s Calendar of Health Observances & Recognition Days, makes perfect sense. Many health experts have long backed a “chiropractic-first” approach -- arguing that it was an effective, safer way of addressing many patients’ spine and joint-related pain.

Scientists Discover A Better Way To Clean Teeth
H
ere’s something to smile about: Silicon Valley researchers have discovered a way for you to get close to a professional cleaning every time you brush. The Problem Dentists and researchers agree that cavities, bad breath, and gum disease are all caused by dental plaque. Despite Americans spending over $1.8 billion on toothpaste annually, 90 percent of adults have gingivitis (gum inflammation and bleeding), and 64 million American adults have irreversible gum disease known as periodontitis. Furthermore, new research now links oral diseases to heart disease, arthritis, diabetes, Alzheimer’s and more. Given these epidemic numbers, should you be looking for a different way to brush? A Solution
A Silicon Valley pharmaceutical company, Livionex, has invented what many consider a better way to brush your teeth. Clinical studies show that brushing with LivFresh Dental Gel reduces dental plaque 2.5 times better than a leading toothpaste. That’s because using the gel repels the bacteria and keeps plaque from sticking to the teeth for results that are close to a professional cleaning. One study showed that 100 percent of participants using the gel experienced a significant reduction in plaque. Dental professionals like the fact that the gel does not contain triclosan, a toothpaste ingredient that has been linked to cancer. In fact, LivFresh is safe for all ages. It contains all edible ingredients and does not contain abrasives and detergents found in conventional toothpastes. The gel has been developed with over 10 years of research in close collaboration with top U.S. universities, and currently has over 100,000 users.
