Mark Your Ballot Against Circumcision?
As a doctor for health who treats both children and adults, I have mixed feelings about San Francisco Superior Court Judge, Loretta Georgi’s, tentative ruling last Wednesday regarding the criminalization of circumcision. Although, according to Wikipedia, the origin of male circumcision is not known with certainty, one thing is certain, it has been a practice, [...]
I’m Fasting for the Duration
Okay, about twenty years ago I read a health article (in a vegetarian magazine) about slaughter houses, and I became an instant vegetarian. And, though over the years there have been a few E. coli and even salmonella scares, I haven’t made any major food shifts since then. I love to eat good food and [...]
Snakes and the San Francisco Zoo
I’ve been going to the San Francisco Zoo for years. As a family chiropractor, I often take a day off during the week so that I can be available on Saturdays for whole families to come in at one time, so it makes it easy for me to visit the Zoo on [...]
Heads Up SF Pedestrians, a Driver May Have You in His Headlights!
Now, before I write about the ridiculous new finding regarding pedestrian/auto encounters, let me just say that I am a health care professional, a chiropractor in fact, who often “blames” his patients for the state of their health. Some things, like a healthy lifestyle are an obvious choice when one is considering their health and [...]
A Hellish Health Care Trinity
Oh goody, more good news for San Francisco Bay and the rest of the nation. The new health-care law encourages doctors, hospitals and insurers to team up in treating patients. Hm-mm, what’s wrong with that picture? As a chiropractor I have seen chiropractic care reimbursement dwindle to nada by most insurance companies, and I [...]
Metaphysical Church in Flint, MI, Looks For “Sister” in San Francisco!
I was on a venture quest not too long ago to find a metaphysical church in San Francisco that might want to become a “sister church” to one of the metaphysical churches Flint (in the beautiful state of Michigan), the city made famous by Michael Moore. I discovered many churches of all denominations and non-denominations; [...]
Chiropractic Marketing, the Best Online Marketing Firm
My friend Joe had been looking into ways to market his business, but then he decided that he needed to hire a company that specializes in Chiropractic Marketing. When he started looking online for a service to help him, he was not sure how to pick the best marketing firm. David [...]
No More Free Rides…For Our Groceries?
Did you know that San Francisco was the first city in the country to ban the pervasive plastic shopping bag? That right! Three years ago, right here in the city. Of course it didn’t take long before Palo Alto and Oakland followed suit, and we’re always happy to lead the environmental [...]
A Sad Day for Happy Meals?
As a chiropractor and a parent I have mixed emotions about the vote today by Silicon Valley county officials to ban (in parts of Santa Clara) restaurants from giving away toys (and other freebies) that frequently come with high-calorie meals for children, i.e., meals that contain more than 485 calories, more than 600 [...]
Bare-Footin’ in San Francisco
Sometimes the younger generation, be they “X” or otherwise, think that we Baby Boomers are “older than dirt,” or at least older than the design and/or invention of anything useful, like running shoes, for instance. So, it is interesting that when Harvard biologist and runner, Daniel Lieberman, had a simple question: “How did people run [...]
