Hi, this is Oakdale MN Chiropractor Dr. Ben Smetana.  I found this article on the Doctor’s Resource page of our website.  With the increasing incidence of type II diabetes, it is extremely important to do everything possible to reduce and reverse the collateral damage that this disease causes.  This article covers a natural method to reduce neuropathy symptoms that are common in diabetics.

The American Journal of Medicine, researchers found that, for people with type 2 diabetes and neuropathy, taking a supplemental form of folate, vitamin B12, and vitamin B6, improved symptom scores by about 25% after 24 weeks of treatment.

Hi this is Oakdale MN chiropractor Dr. Ben Smetana and I found this great article in our Doctor’s Resource Center on our website.  The article covers how the use of a whey protein supplement can decrease the frequency and severity of the common cold.  When choosing a whey protein supplement, be sure to find a non-denatured whey protein concentrate, avoiding whey protein isolates and hydrolysates; We recommend “Whey Cool” from Designs for Health.

Scientists have been trying to tame the common cold for decades, but despite this focused attention, the more than 200 known cold-causing viruses sometimes get the best of us. Now a dietary supplement derived from cow’s milk is being studied as a natural way to protect people from the misery of colds.
