Our Response to COVID-19

Response to COVID-19

Here at The Drugless Doctors, we have been monitoring the unfolding events related to COVID-19. 

We wanted to assure those we see in the office that we are following all of the CDC recommendations and guidelines. We would also like to mention we are working on going above and beyond to work on wiping down surfaces that come in to contact with hands. Below are some recommendations for good practices for stopping the spread of the virus and things we can do proactively to help keep our immune system strong. If you have any questions or concerns about anything related to the COVID-19, scheduled appointments, or anything related to your care in the office, please contact us at 440-471-4200 or email Dr. Anthony DeMaria directly at dranthony@druglessdrs.com.   

 Recommendations

1. Regularly and thoroughly wash your hands with soap and water for 20 seconds.

2. Maintain at least 1-meter distance from anyone who is coughing or sneezing.

3. Avoid touching your eye, nose, and mouth.

4. Follow good respiratory hygiene. Cover your mouth and nose with your bent elbow or tissue when you cough or sneeze. Dispose of the used tissue immediately.

5. Clean surfaces with disinfectant.

6. If you feel unwell, stay at home.

7. If you develop a fever or have difficulty breathing, seek medical advice promptly.

8. If you have had recent travel or contact with travelers from areas with an outbreak, take extra precautions.

Ways to help boost the immune system.

1. Chiropractic Care – Click on the link for a short video of how chiropractic played a role in helping the flu pandemic of 1918 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=atshtoL6KbY

2. Stay away from sugar – Sugar depletes the body of minerals and can compromise immune system function.

3. Get plenty of rest – if you are tired, fatigued, and stressed it creates a perfect storm for a virus to take hold of your system

4. Consider Proper Supplementation

   Vitamin D – taking 5,000 IU of Vit D daily can help to improve immune system function.

   General Immune Health – Agrisept – a great way to help improve immune system function by using this citrus seed extract.

   General Immune Health – Bio–Immunozyme-Forte – This is Biotics Research Corporation's premier multi-vitamin for immune health. Three daily for prevention and up to 9 daily if not feeling well.                                                                                                                                                               

   For a Virus:

   -IAG is a product we use to help improve the bodies' response to a virus. Great for kids as well.

   Bio FCTS – the ingredients in this product help to prevent virus replication.

   Ultravirx – an excellent herbal product that helps the body combat viruses.

   General Immune – Rapid/Daily immune Response – when not feeling well, these herbal products have potent ingredients to stimulate the immune response.

Our office hours will remain unchanged unless otherwise noted.

Sugars & Sweeteners: What You Need to Know!

SUGAR: What You Need to Know!

Hi Everyone! 

Thank you for joining us this month on our H2H discussion on sugar and sweeteners. Please continue to read to view our notes, video, and in-office specials (2/20). As always, please pass this information on to someone who you know can benefit. Have a great month! 

What is sugar? It is a class of carbohydrates that turn into energy.

Why is sugar scary? Targets our belly, silent killer, addictive, and causes damage to a liver, low nutritious value, and it causes your body to attack itself.

61 different names for sugar (University of California San Francisco)

Agave nectar, Barbados sugar, barley malt. Barley malt syrup, beet sugar, brown sugar, buttered syrup, can juice, cane juice crystals, cane sugar, caramel, carob syrup, castor sugar, coconut palm sugar, coconut sugar, confectioners' sugar, corn sweetener, corn syrup, corn syrup solids. Date sugar, dehydrated cane juice, demerara sugar, dextrin, dextrose, evaporate cane juice, free-flowing brown sugars, fructose, fruit juice, fruit juice concentrate, glucose, glucose solids, golden sugar, golden syrup, grape sugar, high fructose corn syrup, honey, icing sugar, invert sugar, malt syrup, maltodextrin, maltol, mannose, maple sugar, molasses, muscovado, palm sugar, panocha, raw sugar, refiners syrup, rice syrup, saccharose, sorghum syrup, sucrose, sugar granulated, sweet sorghum, treacle, turbinado sugar, yellow sugar

Sugar substitutes: stevia, aspartame, sucralose (Splenda), neotame, acesilfame potassium, saccharin, advantame, erythritol, xylitol, cyclamate (sweet n low), mannitol, polydextrose, sorbitol, glycerol, fructooligosaccharide, curculin

The Drugless Doctors Points for sugar

1). Creates inflammation in the body

2). Decreases immune system function

3). Slows the healing process down in the body

4). Promotes weight gain

5). Creates liver distress and adrenal fatigue

Sugar Facts: 1 teaspoon of sugar = 4.2 grams, 1 tablespoon of ketchup = 4 grams (around 1 teaspoon) of sugar.

1.AHA recommends not eating more than 24 grams or 6 teaspoons of added sugar per day for women and 36 grams or 9 teaspoons per day for men. The average American consumes 30 teaspoons of sugar daily.

2. 2013 study found globally 180,000 die per year from sweetened beverage consumption.

3. 200 years ago Americans at 2 pounds of sugar per year, today, however, the average American consumes over 150 pounds of sugar in a year.

4. Sugar has not been extensively studied in chronic disease: has been linked to type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, hypertension, dementia, Cancer, and weight gain.

5. JAMA: Americans get, on average 350 calories from added sugar or 22 teaspoons. People that consume 21 percent of their daily calories from added sugar are twice as likely to die from heart disease.

6. Sugar and Cancer: Cancer needs to utilize sugar as a source of energy. In order to starve cancer cells, you have to kill the source of fuel. The WHO predicts Cancer will rise by 57% in the next two decades.

7. Not all sugar is created equal. 15.2 oz of Minute made 100% Apple juice contains 49 grams of sugar (same as eating 10 Oreos) – Sources of sugar you may have not considered: bread, yogurt, salad dressing, protein bars, pretzels, beef jerky, cereal, non-dairy milk, pasta sauce, fruit juice.

8. One 32 oz Gatorade has 36 grams of sugar, which is like eating 5 Reese's Peanut butter cups.

9. Sugar activates the reward center of your brain, just like drugs such as cocaine and amphetamines.

10. Sugar is toxic to your liver, just like drinking alcohol can be.

 ACTION STEPS:

1. Take an inventory- what are you consuming/day?

2. Read all ingredients and labels (especially the smaller print). Avoid anything that says sugar or the other chemicals listed above like dyes, artificial flavorings or colorings, cane sugar, coconut sugar, agave, honey…ect
