This is a great look at the good fats versus bad fats. Good fats produce anti-inflammatory prostaglandins which reduce swelling and inflammatory conditions. This diet may be wonderful for persons with arthritis, certain heart conditions, anti-cancer and other inflammatory conditions. My father dropped his cholesterol levels in half from high levels to low normal in only one month. [Link]
Best Chiropractic Techniques
One size does not fit all. Finding the appropriate chiropractic technique is our job and having a wide variety to choose from is what Dr. Ken Best, D.C. offers.
Often because we live in such a stressful environment and have poor diets, our adrenal glands (which produces adrenal and cortisol) get overworked and this over-production of hormones can result in a state of ligament laxity. This means your ligaments which hold your joints in place may be hypermobile. If this is the case with a patient they do far better with low-force adjustments and balancing of the musculature in order to heal.
On the contrary, a person who has very little flexibility and joints which are locked ‘out of place’ they may do better with laser therapy or physiotherapy to loosen the ligaments and muscles before using the standard chiropractic adjustment called “Diversified Technique”.
…take care of your body, learn and understand how it works and it will work miracles for you.
Applied Kinesiology (AK)

The use of AK creates a truly holistic treatment which finds the underlying causes of dysfunction in the body. This technique is ideal for persons truly looking for optimal health. [learn more]
Percussor and Adjustor Instruments from IMPAC
Dr. Ken Best, D.C. offer percussion based on Dr. Fulford’s work in unwinding the fascia of the body extremities relate to tension in the spine.
Adjustor instrumentation is very effective in making very focused movement in the spine in fixated areas with little to no discomfort, which can be easily modulated for each patient.
Activator Methods
Activator method is a chiropractic technique utilizing a low force adjusting tool to make a correction at a misaligned joint. Dr. Best, D.C. while trained in Activator, more often than not, utilizes the Adjustor from IMPAC to make the similar corrections previously done with the Activator instrument, which allows for greater diversity depending the patient.
Diversified Technique
Diversified chiropractic technique is the ‘standard’ general adjusting protocols that are taught it most chiropractic schools. It usually involves finding a line of drive which corrects a subluxation or misaligned joint and then taking a short lever thrust to restore motion to the joint.
FDA Approved Therapeutic Laser
These new class of therapeutic lasers are proving very valuable in reducing pain and inflammation. This is particularly helpful in very acute injuries which do not tolerate typical chiropractic adjustments. These lasers are also very instrumental in the rehabilitation of sports injuries.

Weight loss, cleansing, and detoxing
When it comes to weight loss, cleansing and detoxifying the body a certain amount of good judgment needs to be applied. If you are starting any cleansing or detoxifying program and you are in very poor health, you should be under the supervision of your healthcare physician as some people can have side effects as toxins are leaving the body.
In general, I wouldn’t recommend detoxifying more than two times per year, depending on what sort of program you are doing.
The information presented regarding cleanses on this website is for informational purposes only and is not a recommendation. I do not recommend the Stanley Burroughs Cleanse as I have seen it heavily deplete the good minerals in the body when repeated several times or for more than 10 days.
