Category: Chiropractic Care/NRT/PEMF

A fourth pillar for my health and on my road to walking is chiropractic care and NRT (Nutrition Response Testing) which is a process where my body “tells” my doctor what it needs to optimally function. PEMF is an acronym for Pulsed ElectroMagnetic Therapy.

The Brown Mr. Sketch Marker

So, I think having MS for 23 years leads to some issues. I’m trying to figure it all out! But, I tried something today and I need to continue it for two more days.

I need to pay attention to my urinary tract health now that I am in a power chair all the time so therefore I do not move. My Mom called Zerbo’s (the local health food store/market) because my naturopath gave us another supplement to use. I am seeing him on Wednesday for ‘the go time.’

Joe at Zerbo’s told her that he knows about that remedy, but he is going to give her one better! He told my Mom that he has told hundreds of people and it will work as long as I take it as he tells us. Well, I took it this morning and it is IN-TENSE!!!

My Mom asked me this morning how I felt just after I took it and I told her it feels like I swallowed the brown Mr. Sketch marker! Because it really did!

Joe told my Mom that she needs to give me a rounded teaspoon of Ceylon cinnamon and mixed it with just enough water to let it go down my throat. My Mom used 2 tablespoons. She mixed it up, and I drank it down. Man, was it HOT?!!!!

He told her to have me take it three times a day for the next three days and then one maintenance dose every day. So, I only have to take it six more times. It will taste like this:

My First Day At Porter & Clark Chiropractic

When I wheeled into Porter and Clark Chiropractic,  I was nervous as I always am with a new doctor.   I was without supplements for a LONG time so I was NOT feeling well.  I had been on the B.E.D. diet for almost a year and I had lost nearly 70 pounds.  It was the nature of the diet to not be concerned about the weight loss, rather the “feeling better” part.  I was feeling better than I WAS but knew adding supplements into the mix would make me feel even better.

I was immediately put at ease when I saw the waiting room décor.  It was PURPLE – my FAVORITE color!  I felt like I was meant to come to Porter and Clark.  It was December 18, 2012.  It was cold but I don’t remember if there was snow on the ground or not.  I DO remember that Wham! was playing on the radio once I got back into the room to see the doctor and Dr. Clark came in.  That song  is my ULTIMATE, FAVORITE Christmas song!!!

Parker told me that Dr. Clark would be the type of guy that I would want to give a hug to.  I agreed with that statement when I met him.  Parker had told Dr. Clark about me and Dr. Clark was expecting me.  I liked Dr. Clark right off.  I was there to do NRT.  I had never done NRT explicitly before.  Parts of it seemed kind of familiar and others were foreign to me.  I was completely comfortable with Dr. Clark and confident with his findings and suggestions.  I was given a supplement sheet and a few Standard Process supplements to help with what was going on with my body.  The tab on the Porter and Clark website explains EVERYTHING under the services tab.

By now, EVERYONE in the office feels like family to me!  I go to that office once, sometimes twice a week. for NRT and Chiropractic Care.
