Dear Steve,

DID YOU KNOW that according to a study from JAMA Network Open, mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) was just as efficacious for panic and anxiety disorders as Lexapro? Moreover, reported adverse effects were six times higher in subjects taking Lexapro.

Of course, MBSR is not a panacea, but to report that it is noninferior to Lexapro in a JAMA published study is pretty amazing!

Steve: If you needed more definitive evidence as to why dairy foods are not necessary to reap the benefits of calcium, a new study from Nature Communications provides it in awesome fashion.

The study of more than half a million women conducted over almost 17 years confirmed that dietary calcium from a healthy, balanced diet lowers the risk of colorectal cancer by up to 17 percent. 

Here are the major takeaways from the study:

• Calcium's protective role was independent of dairy milk intake. The authors concluded that while "dairy products help protect against colorectal cancer", that protection is "driven largely or wholly by calcium". This means that for those with cow's milk intolerance and allergy, other forms of calcium are just as effective.

• The amount of daily calcium that produced the most optimal result: 300 mg. Yet again, data showing that you don't need super high amounts of calcium to reap the benefits.

• Other nutrients found to be protective were riboflavin, magnesium, and potassium.

Steve saw a lovely older woman with collagenous colitis. Even on high-dose budenoside, which is a steroid, her diarrhea was so bad that she was deathly afraid to be anywhere where a bathroom wasn't close by.

Steve presented evidence that there were myriad diet and lifestyle factors contributing to her situation. She admitted that following the plan was going to be very difficult because not only were many of the foods ones she had been eating for decades, but there were significant emotional and cultural connections to these foods. Luckily, she had a very supportive family to help her adjust to her new diet and lifestyle. 

After Steve checked in with her at 30 days, she had obviously followed everything to the letter. The diarrhea had stopped, as had her cramping and pain. Her bloated belly was much better. Other symptoms, such as burning in her toes and right foot stopped about four days into the new regimen. Night cramps in her legs also stopped. In conjunction with her physician, she is working slowly to wean her off budenoside.

Her disposition is now even lovelier then when she first came in :)

Recently the Wall Street Journal reported on Notre Dame’s kicker Mitch Jeter. He started the season with three field goals including a 46 yarder that secured the game’s victory. Mitch later suffered injuries to his hip and groin, preventing him from being in the game. Notre Dame desperately needed a secret weapon to make sure that Mitch could effectively kick again. 

Turns out that secret weapon was Mitch’s father, Dr. Andrew Jeter, a chiropractor. Even though Notre Dame had their own team chiropractor, Dr. Jeter filled in the gaps as knew that his son required round the clock chiropractic care in order to help those injuries heal faster. This meant spending mornings at his practice, then traveling wherever Notre Dame was playing in order for his son to get adjusted. 

The goal was to remove every misalignment in Mitch’s bones in order to get him back on the field for a significant game in the season. Dr. Jeter’s plan paid off as Mitch had a crucial season winning 41 yard field goal that sent Norte Dame to their first championship appearance since 2013. 

I’m very grateful for all of the benefits of chiropractic and to the patient who brought this article to my attention.
