| Mental Attitude: A Broken Heart? Patients with broken heart syndrome, also known as apical ballooning syndrome (ABS), have blood vessels that don't react normally to stress. ABS affects mainly postmenopausal women. Symptoms mimic a heart attack, but heart arteries show no blockages and no permanent damage. In ABS patients, rather than blood vessels getting bigger to provide more blood during mental stress, blood vessels get smaller and prevent blood from going where it's needed. ABS is associated with severe mental or emotional stress, like death of a spouse or family member, divorce, and claustrophobia. For most, heart function returns to normal in a few weeks. Journal of the American College of Cardiology, November 2010 Health Alert: Deceptive Food Labels. Current FDA labeling protocol prevents the public from knowing the true amount of trans fat in their food products. This may cause individuals to exceed the daily recommended value of 1.11 grams of trans fat from processed foods and lead to adverse long-term health side effects. Current law requires that fat content of more than five grams be listed in one gram increments, less than five grams be listed in .5 gram increments, and lower than .5 grams as containing zero grams. So, if a product has .49 grams of trans fat, the label can list the trans fat content as zero! Despite what seems to be a small amount of trans fat to ingest, increasing daily trans fat consumption from .9% - 2.1%, or from 2 grams to 4.67 grams, increases the risk of cardiovascular disease by 30%. American Journal of Health Promotion, January 2011 Diet: Get Your Vitamin D. Vitamin D deficiency could be linked to the development and severity of certain autoimmune lung diseases, (lupus and type 1 diabetes). Those with connective tissue disease-related interstitial lung disease (ILD) were more likely to have vitamin D deficiency - 52% vs 20%. Chest, January 2011 Exercise: Exercise Combats Chronic Diseases. Regular activity can help prevent or manage high blood pressure, boosts HDL or "good" cholesterol while decreasing triglycerides (this lowers plaque build-up in arteries), and can help prevent type 2 diabetes, osteoporosis and some cancers. Mayo Clinic Chiropractic: What Is Double Crush? If there is irritation of a nerve root in the neck, as that nerve passes into the arm, it passes through several muscles and joints before it enters the hand. If the already irritated nerve then has a "secondary stress", there may be regional symptoms at that location. That second insult to the nerve is the "double crush" phenomenon. When a chiropractor adjusts the neck and the nerve root becomes less irritated, the secondary symptoms can resolve. This is true for entrapment syndromes (developed from associated muscle adhesions or "trigger points"). Wellness/Prevention: Lower Your Risk. Consistent exercise (30-minute walk every day) lowers the risk of colon cancer, heart disease, diabetes and other cancers. Those who exercised consistently for at least 10 years had the lowest risk of all. Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention, December 2010 |

Long Lasting Success with the DRX9000; 4+ years and counting
I was having terrible trouble driving to work. I would be forced to pull over on the highway to get out and stretch my sciatic pain. Once day after standing my usual 12 hours (as a chef), it hit me like a bolt of lightning as I was standing in the middle of an important event. I just sat on the floor and burst into tears (anyone with sciatic pain knows what I am talking about). I had to go home ASAP and find a doctor fast. After calling all around with no responses or intelligent solutions I fell on deaf ears. Still crying in severe pain I happened across Dr. Michael Guadagnino in the yellow pages. When I called I had sniffled through such an intriguing story to his secretary that He Called Me back with in the next 5 minutes and said, “please come in right away I CAN help you”. After the first visit alone I was at least able to limp. I will never forget that feeling of being almost paralyzed or crippled. He thought it was best to send me for some cortisone shots at first then we started a weekly treatment regimen. After about 3 months I could actually go back to work. I still had to get a few more shots and keep up my appointments with Dr. G, but now I could function without crippling pain.
Six months later Valentines Day (2006) arrived! Upon my visit to my now “HAPPY PLACE” Dr. G introduced me to his new DRX9000! This was to be the Best Valentines Day ever for me. Which goes to show how bad my relationships have been (ha ha).
Not only was I to be treated kindly by the staff, but also I was the first patient in the office who to got use this new machine. I can still smell the new leather. But that’s not all. Dr. G is so good at his profession that I even got to watch the Honeymooners as I got treated! I never told him this but that day I cried a little bit, for all I had come through to get to this point and now I was on the road to recovery without the THREAT of SURGERY all the others demanded.
Thank God for Dr. G and his persistence for a “cure without the need for surgery”. He spared me a lifetime of regret from painful aging from surgical treatment.
The DRX9000 treatments went so well and were literally painless; I can’t believe how different a person I am today. I still keep up my appearance as maintenance with Dr. G in what is now know by all staff to be “My Happy Place”. I am a better person for it.
To this day I still recommend people who relate to my story to see this “Master of Chiropractic Care” Dr. Michael Guadagnino.
And on a personal note to the Doctor, in the immortal words of Ralph Kramden…..”Baby You’re the Greatest”.
Thank you for the ability to function again J

Mental Attitude: Get A Daily Dose Of Vitamin D.
People can help manage their mood by getting at least 1,000 to 2,000 IU of vitamin D a day. Recent studies show an association between low serum levels of vitamin D and higher incidences of four mood disorders: PMS, seasonal affective disorder, non-specified mood disorder and major depressive disorder. Get vitamin D from: short periods of sun exposure, vitamin D supplements, and foods. Vitamin D is in: fatty fish such as salmon, tuna, and mackerel, beef liver, cheese and egg yolks, but the primary source of dietary vitamin D is fortified foods, such as breakfast cereals, breads, juices, and milk.

Health Alert: Malpractice Costs In The Billions.
$55.6 billion, 2.4% of all annual health spending, is spent on medical malpractice. The estimate includes defensive-medicine activities, such as ordering tests or treatments, which alone costs $45.6 billion per year.

Diet: Blueberries!
Drinking blueberry smoothies helped obese adults who were pre-diabetic improve insulin sensitivity. 67% of people who drank a blueberry smoothie twice a day for six weeks experienced a 10% or greater improvement in their insulin sensitivity, compared with 41% of people in the placebo smoothie group. Compounds in blueberries, called anthocyanins, have antioxidant properties, which may contribute to health benefits such as improved insulin sensitivity.
Journal of Nutrition, October 2010
Exercise: High-intensity, Short-duration Metabolic Training.
It's a great way to burn fat and build muscle. Perform as many sets of 2-3 exercises as possible within a time frame. For example: 10 pushups, 10 squats, 10 biceps curls, performed continuously for three minutes. Adjust the length of time according to your fitness level, and choose any number/variety of continuous exercises for any number of reps.

Wellness/Prevention: How Flexible Should You Be?
As always, moderation is the key. Flexibility is great for the health of your muscles, ligaments and other surrounding soft tissues as mobility maintains proper elasticity of the tissue, which, in turn, maintains proper circulation of fluids. If your muscles are tight, then your soft tissue does not excrete metabolic waste products efficiently. On the other hand, if you overstretch, you can cause long-term damage to your ligaments known as hyper-mobility. Hyper-mobility leads to muscles having to constantly contract to hold the joints together, which may lead to chronic muscular fatigue and/or joint degeneration.

Health Alert: Superheroes Send Wrong Image?
Watching superheroes beat up villains may not be the best image for boys if society wants to promote kinder, less stereotypical male behaviors. Today's superhero is too much like an action hero who participates in non-stop violence; he's aggressive, sarcastic and rarely speaks to the virtue of doing good for humanity. When not in superhero costume, these men, like Tony Sparks (Ironman), exploit women and convey manhood with high-powered guns. The comic book heroes of the past did fight criminals, but these were heroes you looked up to and learned from because, outside of their costumes, they were real people with real problems and many vulnerabilities.

Diet: Understanding A Child's Risk Of Obesity.
Parents of overweight or obese children do not recognize their child's weight problem. Nearly all parents of healthy-weight children accurately perceived their child's weight. Only 57% of overweight children's parents did so. That improved significantly to 74% three months after an educational program. The most improvement occurred in dietary changes among overweight children. At follow up, they were more likely to drink lower-fat milk and showed the largest reduction in eating out. Overall, children improved fruit and vegetable consumption, decreased sweetened beverages and unhealthy snacks, drank lower-fat milk more and reduced TV screen time.

Exercise: Getting Motivated to Exercise.
If you miss an hour with a personal trainer or workout partner, there's a certain amount of guilt attached to motivate you not to skip out next time so find (or hire) someone you won't let down.
Chiropractic: Patient Satisfaction.
Chiropractic patients were found to be more satisfied with their back care providers after four weeks of treatment than were medical patients. Studies also conclude patients are more satisfied with chiropractic care than with physical therapy after 6 weeks.

Badly Slipped Disc - told "must have surgery"
After realizing I had three herniated discs from heavy squatting and low pull dead lifts, back in December 2009, I had to accept the fact that these injuries do not heal in a short time. After taking about three months off, I tried to get back into my heavy squatting routine again on 3/27/10. Apparently I had made my problem a lot worse. After viewing my MRI results, it was explained to me by a surgeon that I had slipped my L4- L5 disc out enough where it was leaning on my sciatic nerve. This was causing pain to go down my left leg with numbness and paralysis on my left foot, which occurred over night after that last workout attempt. I was told that I was in immediate need of surgery. My injury was bad enough where I did not have any back pain at all. Instead I had a left foot that prevented me from walking straight. I did not know which direction to turn. Suddenly my fellow co-worker referred me to Dr. Michael Guadagnino, who is the chiropractic physician of the NY NJ Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression Center. The same surgeon that had explained my injury to me through my MRI results, had nothing good to say about the NY NJ Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression Center, and also stated that there is no way it will fix my L4-L5 disc. It had made me feel nervous and hopeless. I had decided to go with the treatments from Dr. Guadagnino on 4/6/10. I could remember my first treatment, and how comfortable and painless it was. The first thing that went through my mind was that “this is too painless to make me better”. I started to see gradual results by the middle of May. When June arrived, my sciatic nerve pain disappeared and my back pain was re-appearing (a sign of improvement). As the treatment went on I started to see more results in my symptoms where my back pains disappeared and got well enough to start gradual lightweight training again. Now I’m at the point where I’m weight training intensely again BUT a lot smarter.
I am very thankful that I am able to workout again. There are certain movements that I was recommended not to do just yet, by Dr. Guadagnino. You better believe that I will listen to him, because he ahs not steered me the wrong way. Thank you Dr. Guadagnino, You fixed me up with your DRX9000 treatment.

Mental Attitude: Selenium For The Mind. Selenium is a mineral that acts like an antioxidant in the body. Research suggests the presence of oxidative stress in the brain is associated with cases of mild to moderate depression in the elderly population. With 200 micrograms of selenium a day there is a significant decrease in depression symptoms. Try to get at least the recommended daily allowance for selenium: 55 micrograms a day for both men and women. Whole grains are an excellent source of selenium. You can easily get 70 micrograms of selenium by eating several servings of whole grains such as oatmeal, whole-grain bread, and brown rice. Public Health Nutrition, 2007
Health Alert: Even Modest Weight Gain Can Harm Blood Vessels. Adding as little as 9 pounds of extra fat, specifically in the abdomen, increases the risk of developing endothelial cell dysfunction. Endothelial cells line the blood vessels and control the ability of the vessels to expand and contract. For those who gained weight in their abdomens, even though their blood pressure was normal, their regulation of blood flow through their arm arteries was impaired due to endothelial dysfunction. Once they lost the weight, the blood flow recovered. Blood flow regulation was unchanged in the people who maintained their weight and was less affected among those who gained weight evenly throughout their bodies. Journal of the American College of Cardiology, August 2010
Diet: Worst Foods in Your Fridge: Frozen French Fries. Frozen hash browns, French fries, or tater tots can be found in most American freezers. Just one serving (3 ounces) of some popular potato products (criss-cut French fries, tater tots, or curly fries), contains 8-11 grams of total fat, around 3 grams of saturated fat, 390-540 milligrams sodium, and about 190 calories. Many people eat double this amount in one sitting. Instead, try unprocessed potatoes, like baked or roasted red potatoes. Elaine Magee, MPH, RD
Exercise: How Much Exercise Do You Really Need? Get the most from limited training time by choosing activities that use large muscle groups all at once. Try standing up super-straight, with shoulders rolled back, abdominals tight and chin up. The trick is to set a timer for 5 minutes and hold that posture. Also, try repeatedly standing up and sitting down in a chair, jumping jacks or squats. Do these for 60 seconds, and then repeat it.
Preventive Medicine, 2006
Chiropractic: More Chiropractic Satisfaction! "Patients with chronic low-back pain treated by chiropractors showed greater improvement and satisfaction at one month than patients treated by family physicians. Satisfaction scores were higher for chiropractic patients. A higher proportion of chiropractic patients (56% vs. 13%) reported that their low-back pain was better or much better, whereas nearly one-third of medical patients reported their low-back pain was worse or much worse."

Health Alert: Breast Cancer Rate In US Twice That Of South America! Breast cancer rates in the US are nearly double of those in South America, three times that of China, and four times that of Eastern Africa. (Some of this is due to US advances in breast cancer screening, diagnosis and record-keeping.) According to experts, 40% of breast cancer cases in the US could be prevented. 55% of South Americans fall within the Body Mass Index's "healthy" range, compared to 36% in the US. 37% of Brazilians are highly active compared to only 4% of US residents.

Diet: Worst Foods in Your Fridge: Butter or Margarine. If it can hold its shape in stick form at room temperature, then it is probably high in saturated fat. Each tablespoon contains 100 calories and 11 grams of fat. Butter has 7 grams of saturated fat per tablespoon. Stick margarines have 2 grams saturated fat and 1.5 grams trans fats per tablespoon. Try canola oil or olive oil in your cooking and baking as these are "smart" fats -- rich in mono- and polyunsaturated fat. Or try a reduced-fat margarine with no trans fat and low amounts of saturated fat. Elaine Magee, MPH, RD
Exercise: How Much Exercise Do You Really Need? Short bouts of exercise help lower blood pressure as well as shave inches off the hips and waistline. Multiple workout sessions as short as 6 minutes apiece can help sedentary adults reach fitness goals similar to those achieved by working out for 30 minutes at a time. Preventive Medicine, 2006
Chiropractic: Chiropractic For Neck Pain! When Comparing manual therapy (spinal mobilization), physiotherapy (mainly exercise) and general practitioner care (counseling, education and drugs), clinical outcomes showed manual therapy resulted in faster recovery than physiotherapy and general practitioner care. Also, total costs of the manual therapy-treated patients were about one-third of the costs of physiotherapy or general practitioner care. British Medical Journal, 2003
Wellness/Prevention: Red Wine, Cheers. Resveratrol is found in the skins of red grapes and is a potent agent that protects against cardiovascular disease, cancer, type 2 diabetes, and Alzheimer's. Resveratrol also stimulates glucose uptake into fat cells and blocks molecules from converting into fat. This means resveratrol might interfere with obesity and other metabolic effects that could increase the risk for cardiovascular disease. American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, July 2010

Diet: Worst Foods in Your Fridge: Creamy Salad Dressing. How many bottles of creamy salad dressing (ranch, thousand island, or blue cheese) are in your refrigerator? Each two-tablespoon serving of these dressings adds about 120 calories, 12 grams of fat, 2.5 grams saturated fat, and 380 milligrams of sodium to your salad. Often people drizzle on double this amount of dressing (1/4 cup). Try using only two-tablespoon servings. Also try lighter calorie, low-fat dressings. Elaine Magee, MPH, RD
Exercise: How Much Exercise Do You Really Need? Lack of time is the single biggest obstacle to fitness but even a little exercise can provide health benefits. Experts say, you may be overestimating how much exercise you really need to get at once. What if you could improve fitness with 10 minutes here and 10 minutes there throughout your day? A study showed short walks after dinner were more effective than long exercise sessions in reducing the amount of fat and triglyceride levels in the bloodstream after a hearty meal. American Journal of Sports Medicine, 2006
Chiropractic: Chiropractic Wins. When compared to other alternative health care options, chiropractic care fared better. "Acute and chronic chiropractic patients experienced better outcomes in pain, functional disability, and patient satisfaction; clinically important differences in pain and disability improvement were found for chronic patients." Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics, 2005
Wellness/Prevention: Watch Your Heart Rate Or Die? An elevated resting heart rate is associated with a significantly increased risk of death, whether from heart disease or other causes. A heart rate of 84 beats per minute or greater was linked to a 55% greater risk of cardiovascular death and a 79% greater risk of death from all causes. A healthy heart rate is between 60 and 80 beats per minute. Even incremental increases in heart rate were associated with increased risk of death. Every extra 10 beats per minute higher than a normal resting pulse was associated with a 16% increased risk of death from cardiovascular disease and a 25% greater risk of all-cause death.

World Renowned Neurosurgeon Interviewed on DRX9000™ Decompression Therapy
A Spinal Surgeon’s Point of View
W. Robert Hudgins, MD Neurosurgeon
Neurological Surgeons of Dallas
Dallas, TX
In this interview, W. Robert Hudgins, MD, explains what motivated him to choose the DRX9000 for his practice, his experience using the equipment, as well as patient outcomes.
Dr. Hudgins, why did you opt to try the DRX9000 in your practice?
I’d have to say, it had a lot to do with the failure of general traction, and sometimes physical therapy, in the treatment of back pain. General traction has been used for many years as a conservative back pain therapy. The drawback to general traction is it cannot exert adequate pull on the lumbar spine to really do much good. When the DRX9000 was introduced to me, I was intrigued by the science and technical aspects of its controlled spinal decompression therapy.
Unlike conventional traction, the DRX9000 exerts adequate forces to distract vertebrae to create negative pressure within disc spaces to decompress the spine. It simply makes sense and the DRX9000 was the equipment I found to have worked out a complete system out to accomplish spinal decompression.
Why do you say ‘sometimes physical therapy’ fails?
I’m not discrediting physical therapy by any means, but some back pain patients are not compliant with the demands of a PT program. Unfortunately, for some, physical therapy is not successful. There are many reasons besides issues related to pain that prevent patients from doing well in PT. Some back pain patients need rest to help alleviate symptoms, which the DRX9000 provides. The DRX9000 does not replace physical therapy, but is an adjunctive treatment. Patients learn how to exercise to build strength and flexibility, as well as biomechanics for injury prevention.
What is involved in DRX9000 treatment?
In treating a low back problem, such as a bulging disc, the patient is positioned on the table, secured into place by means of a vest with under arm support to prevent the body from sliding downward. A belt is affixed about the waist. The treatment duration, amount of pull (in pounds), and decompression angle are entered into the computer. The computer uses the data to calculate a slow progression to maximum pull while alternating pulling and relaxing. A typical treatment lasts 20 to 30 minutes. Varying the angle of decompression (pull) adjusts the force through the target disc level. Angle variation cannot be effectively accomplished by means of conventional traction.
The amount of pull, or pounds; how is that calculated?
It depends on the patient’s condition. Generally, I start with one-half of the patient’s weight minus 20-pounds. For example, a 200-pound patient would start therapy at a maximum of 80-pounds of pull. As treatment is tolerated, the amount of pull may be gradually increased to half the body weight plus 10-pounds. As a rule, I start with the lower amount of pull and gradually increase.
Do patient’s experience immediate or gradual pain relief?
It is variable. A few patients have reported after 3 or 4 treatments they already feel much better. However, for the treatment to be most effective, a full 3 to 4 weeks is recommended.
Are other treatments combined with DRX9000 therapy?
Yes. Patients receive electrical stimulation and mechanical massage after each treatment to prevent or reduce stiffness and muscle spasm. Depending on the patient’s spinal disorder, they are instructed to wear a brace, which is discontinued after the program.
What spinal disorders do you treat using the DRX9000?
It is interesting and perhaps self-defeating that many of the patients referred to me for spine surgery, are successfully treated with spinal decompression. These patients include those with bulging and herniated discs and degenerated discs. Certain spinal problems such as spondylolisthesis, stenosis, and arthritis are not appropriate for decompression. The key is careful patient evaluation and selection.
I'm a strong believer in nonsurgical therapy before approaching surgery. Of course, some patients, such as someone with drop foot, may require immediate surgery.
Is the patient’s age a factor?
Generally, no. Two cases come to mind. The first is an active male in his early 30s who enjoys golf and tennis. He presented as a surgical referral with a herniated disc. However, he didn’t want surgery. The second case is an older female, a hospital tech who suffered back pain for 3 years. Both patients wanted to try the DRX9000 instead of surgery. Both continue to do well years after decompression treatment and without surgery.
Does this mean results are permanent?
I’ve used the DRX9000 since 2000 and have followed my patients. In general, 2 out of 3 low back pain and 3 out of 4 neck pain patients obtain excellent relief. About 75-80% of my patients continue to do well. I estimate 20-25% return with pain and ask to be treated again; a few may require surgery. In my experience, the majority of patients are pleased with their outcome.
What is the learning curve to use the DRX9000?
About 3 days of training is necessary. When my practice obtained its first DRX9000, my PA and I administered therapy to all patients. Once we were familiar with the equipment, and the number of patients grew, we hired a dedicated tech to administer DRX9000 therapy. Belt placement to prevent slippage during treatment is an art, but not difficult to learn.
We’d like to know how many patients your practice has treated using the DRX9000?
To date, nearly 800. Patient evaluation and selection is important to treatment success using the DRX9000. Just as every patient is not a surgical candidate, not all patients with a back or neck problem are candidates for spinal decompression.
Thank you Dr. Hudgins.
You are welcome.
This interview is from a medical doctor cooraborating what we've been doing in our office for 4 1/2 years. During these years I have treated medical doctors, dentists and other health professionals. The one thing we all know, spine surgery is risky and all conservative methods should be tried first; BUT, treatment with the DRX9000 has a very successful track record.
