St Tammany Chiropractic Specialist to share how he lost 115lbs in only 200 days and continues to maintain 5 years later, and help the Covington Food Bank in the Process

__________________________________________________________________________________

Dr. Paul Worsham, chiropractor and clinic director of the Advanced Wellness Center, a Mandeville, La chiropractic clinic, weighed over 280lbs back in November 2003 when his daughter was born. “My father passed at the age of 56, when I was only 15 years old. That was the only thing that went through my mind the first time I looked into Sophia’s big blue eyes,” Dr. Worsham says. “I knew if I did not change my lifestyle, she was destined to go through all the heartache I did losing my father so young. I was determined that not happen to her. So I knew I needed to get healthy and the start was getting the excess fat off my body.”

And lose the fat he did. After a few months of research to make sure he chose the most healthy and scientifically valid regimen, Dr. Worsham dropped 23lbs in the first three weeks in route to a total loss of 115lbs and an incredible 15 inches off his waist, all in only 200 days. “The weight just seemed to pour off my body. I lost almost 30lbs in the first month alone, and then settled into a steady loss of between 10-13lbs each month until I reached my goal weight.”

What is the most common question Dr. Worsham gets about his weight loss? “Many ask if I had surgery to lose the weight. The answer to that is absolutely not. I researched the surgeries but found the long-term results to be no better and in some cases less effective than other ways to lose weight. And surgery is not healthy - health was my main goal.”

Since losing the weight, Dr. Worsham has educated hundreds of northshore residents on the secrets he discovered in his research. But for those scheduling in August and September, he is offering something extremely special. “I’ll be offering a one on one weight loss consultation. Normally I charge $100.00 for the consultation but I am offering this at no charge in exchange for a non-perishable food donation to the Covington Food Bank. The Food Bank does such a wonderful job providing food for needy families in the area year round. So this is truly a win-win for the community as well as one of my favorite organizations.”

Chiropractic Instead of Drugs for ADHD

Dr Paul Worsham — Sat, 08 Aug 2009 00:54:00 GMT

Recent study links stimulant use to sudden death; media and current research suggest chiropractic as a safe alternative.

Certain stimulant medications used to control attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) may cause sudden, unexplained death - this according to a study published in the American Journal of Psychiatry. This adds to previous reports emphasizing the potential dangers of such medications.

The study, funded by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) along with the National Institute of Mental Health, evaluated stimulant use in 564 children and teens age 7-19 who died unexpectedly, and had no known history of life threatening illness or defined cause of death, such as accident or homicide against a control of 564 age-matched who died in motor vehicle accidents (the control group.)

Comparing the two groups, researchers foundthat a significantly higher number of children/teens in the study group had taken methylphenidate prior to their death than the control. Methylphenidate is the generic form of ADHD drugs like Ritalin and Concerta.

On the good news side, according to a CBS Early Show segment and recent research from the International Pediatric Chiropractic Association (ICPA) suggests benefit of chiropractic care for ADHD sufferers. The study, "The Chiropractic Care of Patients With Attention Deficit Disorder: A Retrospective Analysis" has been aceepted for publication by a major biomechanical journal shows promising results for children under chiropractic care.

In the CBS Early Show segment on the June 15th "Healthwatch", medical correspondent Dr. Jennifer Ashton told CBS anchor Julie Chen, "There have been studies that show complimentary or alternative therapies [such as] chiropractic care and dietary changes can be beneficial is some children who are on ADHD medication. She also noted side effects accompanying ADHD drugs including elevated heart rate and blood pressure.

I have been treating children suffering with ADHD in my office for several years now, and have found many children, and adults, have had the ability to discontinue use of Ritalin, Concerta and Adderall (with medical supervision) after starting care in our office. If you know someone suffering with ADHD, please have them call the office 985-867-8100 or go to Mandeville Chiropractor for a free consultation to discuss their health and possible options.
