Dr Barry Marks Car Accident Doctor Orange County CA

Orange County, California’s recent rain storms have created havoc on the freeways and streets with dozens of accidents occurring daily. If you’ve suffered a recent car accident in Orange County, CA you must act quickly to safeguard your rights to proper treatment and a fair settlement.

The auto insurance industry uses little tricks to devalue your claim based on computerized programs that keep track of things like:

• How long it took you to seek medical help (there s magic number they like, go beyond it, you’re stuck)
• What diagnoses your doctor lists (some hurt your case, others help)
• How much damage is done to your car (there are tricks they use to undervalue damage)
• If you’ve had past accidents (past injury makes you more prone to injury, the insurance co however will try to use it against you)
• Your age (if you’re too young or too old they will try to minimize your injuries)
• And more…

You may surprised to know that…

• Most injuries occur in relatively slow speed crashes (12 mph or less)
• Your neck may be injured even if your car wasn’t
• Any damage at all to your bumper proves you could be injured
• More important than vehicle damage, there are several factors that worsen your chances of injury
• There are tell-tale signs on x-ray that prove you have suffered a permanent injury, but medical doctors and many chiropractors never look for them

Don’t be hurt twice by the same auto accident…
Unknowing victims are hurt first by the actual accident then a second time when their doctor improperly evaluates and documents their injuries. Don’t let that happen to you. You can avoid this by seeking the help and advice of a car accident doctor who understands what the insurance companies are looking for and how to prevent them from taking advantage of you.

Home Remedies for a Headache

Headache Relief Home Remedies
Dr Barry Marks, Chiropractor Orange, CA
Author of “5 Common Causes of Headaches…3 Steps to Relief”

3 Things to Try to Relieve Your Headache Now…

1. Caffeine
I know, caffeine is like the “F” word to naturalists every where, but hey, it works. At the onset of a headache try drinking a cup of coffee (Starbucks, Coffee Bean, Yum Yum Donuts,… doesn’t matter, as long as it’s black and piping hot) or a cola (no, I didn’t say a “Coke” or “Pepsi” or “Shasta” I wont get into a fight over who makes the best cola, I don’t like any of them. I use them only medicinally).
Did you know the main active ingredient besides aspirin in headache pills like Excedrin is caffeine?

2. Drink a glass of water
Many people who suffer headaches are dehydrated–lack of water headaches are usually, but not always, on the top of your head or vertex. Try an 8 oz. glass of pure water–water is good for a whole host of health issues…headaches, back pain, muscle cramps, etc.

3. Apply acupressure to your neck
Squeeze the muscles on the back of your neck tightly for 20-30 seconds, release and repeat a few times. alternatively have someone rub deeply into the back of your neck muscles for a few minutes. Follow with an ice pack and lie down for a bit. Most headaches are muscle tension variety and will be relieved by releasing tension within the muscles.

Chiropractic Care for Children in Orange County, CA

Chiropractic care for children
Dr Barry Marks, Chiropractor Orange, CA

When to Start Chiropractic Care…

I am often asked at what age should children begin chiropractic care. My gut response is… as soon as you learn it is important for the health of your child. But since I’m not that blunt, let me put it like this…

If you learned that something conclusively caused cancer? Wouldn’t you avoid that product, food or activity– immediately?

If you learned your child had a potentially serious medical problem, wouldn’t you seek out a specialist– immediately?

What Kind of Parent are You?

Are you the kind of parent who believes that children should:

• Eat vegetables?
• Drink water?
• Take Vitamins?
• Go to bed on time?
• Brush their teeth?
• Wash their handComb their hair?
• Change their underwear?

If you answered “yes” to at least most of these questions then you are a concerned parent and you want what is best for your children. You are probably the type of person who would want your kids adjusted regularly if you knew it would prevent health problems for them.

Consider this…

• Every living cell, tissue, organ and system of your body works because nerves tell them to.
• If you interfere with the vital flow of information from the nerves to the cell or organ, dysfunction will occur and health will be lost.
• A common cause of interference is in the spinal bones that protect the nerves called a “subluxation”.
• A subluxation is where two or more spinal bones become misaligned or stuck.
• Subluxations may not be painful at first and can accumulate over time due to stress, falls, sports, accidents, heavy work, etc.
• Everyone’s first subluxation occurs when they are born…the birth process causes stress upon the neck and often results in misalignment not readily detectable by pediatricians who are untrained in this area.
• If subluxations are not corrected, they degenerate slowly over the years and cause malfunction and premature damage to the spinal bones and nerves.
• Doctors of Chiropractic are the only health care practitioners specifically trained to locate and correct subluxations. No other doctor is trained in this field. By gently moving the spinal bones by hand to relieve pressure, your chiropractor is unraveling the root cause of your illness.
• Once subluxations are relieved, the body begins to repair itself and health is restored.
• Proper health requires periodic spinal hygiene, much like oral hygiene requires regular brushing and cleaning. You don’t allow plaque to build up on your teeth, so why would you allow subluxations to build up and cause spinal decay?

One last thing to consider… Did you know that many of the back and neck problems you suffer with as an adult began when you were a child? Save your child years of suffering… Don’t let your child’s spine decay.

So, now I’ll turn the question around to you…when should you have your children start chiropractic care?

Right now!

Calcium for Weight Loss Easy Breakfast

Calcium for Healthy Weight Loss
Dr Barry Marks, Chiropractor, Orange, CA 92868

Calcium has been shown to increase fat burning, particularly around the belly and decreases your risk for hypertensive heart disease. Data from various studies indicate we should try to get 1,200 to 1,400 mg of calcium each day. An important thing to remember is that calcium is best absorbed in small amounts throughout the day. So make sure each meal has about 1,000 mg or more of calcium to ensure you are getting the maximum amount.

Here is a very simple and tasty breakfast rich in calcium:

• 1 cup of low-fat yogurt (about 450 mg)
• 10 dried raw almonds (about 50 mg)
• 1 600 mg calcium citrate with Vit. D supplement (about 600 mg)
• Berries for color, taste and antioxidant power (minimal calcium)

Total calcium: about 1,100 mg

Want to add another easy and tasty 40 mg of calcium? Add a fresh fig to your yogurt…one 4 oz fresh fig (about 40 mg)

Consuming more calcium is an easy and delicious way to shed weight without fad diets or starvation.

Simple Tip for Healthy Weight Loss in 2010

Healthy Weight Loss Tips for 2010
Dr Barry L Marks,  Chiropractor Orange, CA

Weight Loss Tip for 2010

Its that time of year where most of us will over indulge and then scramble to clean up our act and resolve to lose weight for the New Year…only to fail before February hits.

Rather than jumping on a fad diet bandwagon or doing my grandma’s favorite weight loss program she calls “The Green Bean Diet” ( she eats nothing but canned green beans until she’s lost the weight she wants), try making a slight modification  to your diet that is easy, healthy and proven to lose pounds.

One hidden element that can help you lose weight, be stronger and healthier and is oh so easy to consume…

Calcium!

Yes, calcium has been proven to help you lose weight, and in particular belly fat. Who would have thought that? Studies have shown that women (yes, men can do this too) who consumed 1,200 – 1,400 mg of calcium daily had shed over 60% more body fat than those on a low calcium diet. Even more exciting is that the study at Purdue University found that the women on a high calcium diet also lost belly fat twice as fast as those on a low calcium menu. Another study found that two 8 0z servings of yogurt a day lowered blood pressure by 5 points and cut hypertension risk by 20%.

So the question is….how do you get enough calcium in your diet?

You could just pound down calcium supplements, but as with all diet advice, I believe in variety and eating a normal healthy diet. There are so many tasty foods that are rich in calcium to choose from so it shouldn’t be difficult.

Here’s what I recommend:

1. Take a Calcium with vitamin D supplement daily in split doses; 600 mg in AM with breakfast, and 600 mg in PM with dinner.

2. Add 2 servings of dairy products to your diet each day

• Milk
• Cheese
• Yogurt
• Kefir

But what if you are lactose intolerant?

Here are dairy products low in lactose that may be tolerated:

• Greek style yogurt or Kefir
• Hard cheeses

And here are non-dairy foods rich in calcium:

• Almonds
• Spinach
• Salmon
• Sardines
• Calcium fortified orange juice
• Kale
• Collard greens
• Tofu
• Enriched rice or soy milk

So, if you’re interested in slimming down and getting healthier for 2010, try adding at least two servings of calcium  rich foods and a calcium supplement to your diet each day. Here’s a good source for calcium dietary supplements from an excellent nutrition lab.

Health Care Reform 2009…One Doctor’s Opinion

My Position on Health Care Reform 2009
Dr Barry Marks, Chiropractor, Orange, CA 92868

Thank you to The National Policy Center for Pubic Analysis for their research. This is my distillation of their well thought out and factual points.

Reasons why this doctor cannot support the U.S. House’s bill:

Higher insurance premiums

• KY, MA, WA all saw huge spikes in insurance premium costs after state run reforms were put in place in those states.

Free care is not free–Higher taxes will be needed to pay for system

• Federal income tax would be increased to pay for care
• State income taxes will rise because the Federal government will put pressure on Medicaid (state run health welfare) to cover more and more, but not pay for it, so states will have to raise their taxes.

Higher fees, higher taxes, more regulation and endless red tape means fewer jobs

• Employers will pare their employment roles to stay in business. The jobs lost would most likely be low to middle income workers, the ones Obama says he wants to help with his Social Justice programs.

Deficits would rise exponentially

• National debt is at an all time high and will grow even quicker as the economy stays sluggish due to higher taxation and higher unemployment forcing the US to borrow more and more from foreign interests

Medicare cuts will hurt seniors

• House and Senate plans would raid $500 Billion out of Medicare to pay for care of others. In essence they are taking money away from seniors to be spent on someone younger, or possibly an illegal alien or someone who chooses not to work

Medicare Advantage programs will be severely cut and many will go out of business

• Seniors who privately pay for secondary coverage will find higher premiums and less coverage due to less federal funding of these programs.

Lowered reimbursement to doctors in Medicare and in new Govt. system

• The House and Senate plans both contain provisions to reduce doctor pay by 20%. Medicare already pays doctors severely low rates that are 70% lower than usual insurance rates.

Doctor shortages will increase

• With falling incomes and increased operating costs, many doctors will have no choice but to stop practicing or move. This will decrease the pool of good, qualified doctors and leave only those willing to work for pennies on the dollar.

The IRS gets new powers to your private financial and health information

• The collection agency for the House/Obama plan is the IRS. The IRS will get to decide which plans are acceptable and which aren’t. They will also punish those without acceptable insurance and fine or jail them into compliance
• The IRS will have more power to get your employee and health records to support their mandate

Loss of Freedom

• Whether you are 18 and healthy or 75 and sick, you MUST be insured by either the Govt. plan or a plan the IRS deems acceptable. If not, you will be fined and/or imprisoned, just like tax cheats.
• It is unprecedented in our nation that the Federal govt. has reached for so much power in one big grab.

These are just some of the many reasons why I cannot support a drastic and far reaching take over of our health care system.
