Dear Steve,

DID YOU KNOW that the another study confirms what we told you when the artificial sweetener erythritol hit the market...it is dangerous?

Of course the manufacturer tried to market erythritol as natural, but we knew it was not. According to research presented at the 2025 American Physiology Summit, erythritol may impair blood vessel health by disrupting the brain’s production of nitric oxide. Cells exposed to typical erythritol levels showed increased oxidative stress and reduced nitric oxide, potentially impairing blood flow. This mechanism could help explain previous links between erythritol consumption and higher risks of heart attack and stroke.

Look at all the labels on your sweeteners, protein bars, shakes, and more to see if they contain erythritol, and then throw them out!

Steve: More than half of Americans either have, live with someone, or know someone with a food allergy or intolerance, according to a recent survey run by the International Food Information Council.

Think about that for a second. Half of Americans are touched by some kind of connection to food reactions. Why is this so prevalent? Our immune systems are so overstimulated by dietary and environmental factors that reactivity is becoming the norm instead of the exception. What do we do about this?

Of course, meeting with a knowledgable professional is the first step. This professional should not only hone in on your diet and beverages, medications, physical activity, stress, toxic load, among others, but start any treatment plan with gut healing. The majority of your immune system exists in and around the gastrointestinal tract. It is paramount to calm/heal the gut. When this happens, reactivity wanes.

A young woman came to see Steve with multiple diagnosed autoimmune and GI disorders including IBS, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, and most recently rheumatoid arthritis. She was home-bound and had difficulty doing much of anything without getting extremely fatigued. One of her goals was to avoid going on rheumatoid arthritis medication.

After looking at her blood work, intake forms and GI-Map stool analysis, he went over all aspects of how to best optimize her diet and lifestyle. They agreed to give it six months to see if she could improve to a level where medication would not be necessary.

They had to make several modifications over the first few months, but this was a recent update: "My husband noticed my pupils are getting smaller. Mine have been enlarged as long as I can remember. My fatigue has dramatically improved. I'm able to use the recumbent bike without issue. I haven't needed a nap during the day which is nice. Constipation is improving and having regular bowel movements for the first time in years. No colon pain which is fantastic to report. Still have neuropathy and muscle pains. Still have temperature dysregulation."

Still have a ways to go, but numerous measurable improvements. A testament to her hard work and trusting the process!

Here are accounts of visual improvement with chiropractic. A 77 year old woman had blurred and double vision that occurred on and off throughout the day. She was diagnosed with ocular myasthenia and didn’t want medical treatments. A chiropractor revealed that the top bone in her neck was way out of alignment. By her ninth adjustment, she no longer had any symptoms or recurrences of her problem.

A 14-year-old boy had a serious head injury which rendered him blind. After several months of medical treatment he was brought in for chiropractic care. After two adjustments of his upper neck, his eye site returned. Lastly, a 9-year-old girl woke up one day with an inability to focus. If she tried to focus, her eyes were achy from muscle strain, and her words were shaky. An ophthalmologist couldn’t explain what was happening as everything in her eyes appeared healthy and normal. 

The mother brought her in to her chiropractor who discovered that the right side of the girls neck was out of alignment. She received an adjustment and that evening the little girl was reading the ingredients on a cracker box that was left on the kitchen counter. She was so excited that she ran around the house reading everything. The mother realized that two weeks before the eye problems her daughter had fallen out of bed.

Not all visual disturbances can benefit from chiropractic care. However, these experiences reveal that many functional and metabolic disturbances are a direct result of misalignments of the spinal column. “Everything possible has not been done unless Chiropractic has been included.”
