Patient Appreciation Day has become Patient Appreciation Drawing! Due to Cape County regulations, we have decided to not have the party this year. We are, however, still collecting non-perishable items for a local food bank and doing a big giveaway to show our appreciation for our patients. We are collecting until December 10th and the drawings will be December 17th. As always, you get 1 entry for every 5 items donated, 3 entries for reviews on Facebook, Google, etc, and 5 en...tries for new patient referrals! We have set aside November 19th for your friends and family you refer in as new patients. They will receive their first visit for 5 items or a $5 donation. We want to use this month to celebrate YOU! Your results and all the good things you say about us are the reasons we are so successful in helping people’s needs in our community. We will be giving away a Pit Boss Smoker, Yeti Cooler, gift cards and more! We are also doing a coloring contest with prizes for children under 15 years old! WE APPRECIATE YOU!!!

BACK at it!! Health Talk Thursday live with C106.1!

Dr. Alex sharing some helpful information and scientific research studies on how sugar negatively affects your immune system. Refined sugar consumption was first linked to impaired immune function decades ago. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/4748178... https://www.sciencedirect.com//artic/pii/S0271531784800573 While that research is old, more recent studies suggest that the earlier investigators were on to something; the alterations in the gut microbiota induced by refined sugar intake may set off an aberrant immune response, which in turn contributes to impaired immune function and chronic inflammation. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3448089/ We look forward to seeing everyone in the office! We hope everyone can take this information, use it for themselves, and SHARE it with their the community to help everyone be as healthy as possible!

We have some EXCITING NEWS!! Listen to Dr. Alex mention a study that was recently published that our clinic was involved in! In place of the usual Thursday morning radio broadcast Dr. Alex will again be sharing some useful information about health! In this short video we talk about DEPRESSION as well as IMMUNE support! Links:... Depression Study http://www.hoajonline.com/neuroscience/2052-6946/8/1 Vitamin C affects your immune health in several ways. Its antioxidant activity can decrease inflammation, which may help improve your immune function. Vitamin C also keeps your skin healthy by boosting collagen production, helping the skin serve as a functional barrier to keep harmful compounds from entering your body. Vitamin C in the skin can also promote wound healing. The vitamin also boosts the activity of phagocytes, immune cells that can swallow harmful bacteria and other particles. In addition, it promotes the growth and spread of lymphocytes, a type of immune cell that increases your circulating antibodies, proteins that can attack foreign or harmful substances in your blood. There’s also some evidence from animal research and case studies in humans that high dose or IV vitamin C can reduce lung inflammation in severe respiratory illnesses caused by H1N1 (swine flu) or other viruses.
