Hello, Everybody!
Today, Dr. Bob would like to talk to you about heart health and oil in his new video.
He covers omega oils, which oils may not be the best for you to consume, and techniques we use to help your heart be healthy and strong while visiting our practice in Westlake, Ohio and Naples, Florida.
Nutrition and Resources in Video:
October 10th is World Mental Health Day, and one of the best resources for a holistic approach is: "Dr. Bob's Drugless Guide to Mental Health."
Since its release, this book has helped thousands of patients from all over the world, and in the video above, Dr. Bob shares some additional thoughts that are also paraphrased below, with links to additional resources.
Excerpt from video:
“I've been practicing since 1978 and I really have never seen as much anxiety and depression as what I am seeing right now.
I was born in 1954, post-World War II. I lived through the Cuban Missile Crisis. People actually came to my house to build a bomb shelter. Could you imagine right now people going around thinking about creating bomb shelters? And of course, I lived through the Vietnam War. I had a draft number. I could have got drafted and had to go to the Service. So I've had a lot of stress in my personal life. And I could go on with it, just as I'm sure many of you could tell me the stories that have gone on with you.
But back in the 1970s and '80s, I started to learn about mental health. Hence, I wrote my first book, "Dr. Bob's Guide To Stop ADHD in 18 Days". I got a lot of flack from those 18 days, because everybody thought I was being really arrogant, that I could magically cure ADHD in 18 days. It wasn't about me, it was about physiology.
That's what I've been so fortunate to learn this. I have a degree in human biology. I used to teach human dissection. So I've really put my hands literally, into the subject of human function. So in the late '70s and early '80s, I learned about oil. You need oil for your brain. It's called DHA. If you're depressed right now, it's possible you have a low amount of DHA. We actually have a blood test. See, I didn't have a blood test back in the 2000s to be able to do this. But today, you could literally go to a lab, we use Labcorp, and have your omega blood tests checked.
If you have depression, I'm going to tell you right now, you don't have to throw the dice to figure out what you need. If your DHA is low, that's like having an engine that's pinging, because it does not have enough oil in it. If you're a female, postpartum depression is an oil issue. A lot of times people don't realize, but young boys and men need more oil than ladies do. It's DHA. So DHA, I talk about in the book the very first chapter. It is a long-chain fat for your brain.. That's number one. You have to have good oil for your brain. And, you know, a lot of you are going to fast food restaurants, and franchise restaurants and you're eating food that you know you really are not empowering your body to be healthy. So good oil, is number one.
Many of you also have anxiety. For whatever reason, anxiety patients for us are very hard to satisfy, because they always have something going on a million miles an hour in their brain. Most of the time you need B vitamins. Do you cry easily? Do mosquitoes like you? Do you have noise sensitivity? Does your blood pressure drop from a sit to a stand position? You need B vitamins. We use a product from Biotics called Bio-B 100s and then we have a B complex. We have two of them. The Bio-B Complex is a little bit more potent than the Bio-B 100s. Some of you, just a B vitamin alone will make a difference. So let's transition. (Contact us for nutrition)
When your body starts making this long-chain fat called DHA, it has to have co-factors. Co-factors are zinc, B6, magnesium. If you're eating sugar, and you have large pores on your face and white spots on your nails, you need zinc. You can get zinc from pumpkin seeds. But zinc is an important factor for optimal brain fat function. So a lot of you are having depression and anxiety, because you're not feeding your body right. You need to feed your body right. And if you don't, I told you all those stresses that I had in my life and I can go on with more. I have no depression and no anxiety. Well, Dr. Bob, you're lucky. It's not luck. I woke up at 4:25 this morning, and rode my bike for 15 miles. And I was born in 1954, so you do the math to figure out how old I am. So you need to create plans. So zinc was another. You already talked about B vitamins. Some of you could have some anxiety, and depression and mental challenges, because you don't have enough vitamin B12. Vitamin B12 is deficient in those of you who have chosen to be plant eaters or vegetarians.
If you want to be a plant eater, vegetarian. I, you know, that's good. I empower you for that. But, you're going to need to get some B12 in your body.
Here are some easy, just things to do right now, because I could go on for hours talking about this:
- You want to be in bed by 10 o'clock at night. Those hours before midnight are important for your adrenal glands. You want to carve out time to exercise every day. When I started this whole exercise, I used to get up at a quarter to seven in the morning. I was not exercising. So you have to carve time out.
- You want to drink more water. I know it sounds simple, but I was just talking to Dr. Casen today, and people who don't drink enough water, don't have enough energy.
- You may consider adding a B vitamin.
- You may consider doing the Omega Test.
In this book I talk about emotions, and health and mental health. So I want you to know this. Anger is a liver issue. Bitterness is a gallbladder issue. Sadness can impact your lungs. The spleen, which is very important for your immune system, is anxiety and worry.
Did you hear what I just said? The spleen, which is very important for your immune system, is anxiety and worry. The kidneys are fear. So what I want you to know right now, you can make some changes. Of course, if you're on any medication, I'm not here to take you off the medication. You may consider having a consultation. I'm here to help make a difference in your life. Today, is a mental health day. And I want you to feel more empowered that you can control your future. I'm Dr. Bob DeMaria.”

Dr. Anthony DeMaria shares about a healthy immune system.
Hello Everyone,
Today we are talking to you about the immune system.
During this time of the year, you want to make habits to boost your immune system and keep it where it's supposed to be.
We would encourage you if you haven't been taking your vitamin D, to start taking your vitamin D. There's two ways that we do it in the office, the one is the liquid form where you put two drops of Bio-D-Mulsion Forte on your tongue every day from September to May, or we have it in a capsule form where you take one capsule a day of Zorex's D3-5000.
Another great way to boost your immune system is to stay away from sugar. If you will be in a situation where there will be plenty of desert-based food, one of the things that we would recommend you say is just "I can't say yes to candy" and give it away, you don't need it, because what happens is when you're eating candy, your immune system's ability to fight the unfriendly stuff goes away.
So one of the best ways to help support your immune system, stay away from sugar. Now, think of combating your immune system with soldiers to fight the war that's inside of you, and one of the good products to do that is a new one called IMMUNE PLUS. IMMUNE PLUS was created as Zorex's immune boosting product, so it can be used as a multiple vitamin, because it has a lot of things that you would see like A, C, D, E, some B vitamins, zinc, selenium, copper, manganese, and then it's got a whole list of items that are used to boost the immune system, including quercetin, olive leaf, NAC, acetyl-L-carnitine, berberine, citrus bioflavonoids, and the list goes on.
With this product, what you want to do is take something to help keep your immune system at its full potential. I would tell you, for maintenance, you could do three of these a day, if you're not feeling well you could do three with each meal. Whether you're using something like IMMUNE PLUS or any of our great immune boosting products, I would encourage you from now to the spring to be doing things proactively to help keep your immune system strong.
A final thought, chiropractic adjustments are amazing for helping to keep your immune system strong. I regularly see people tell me when they started chiropractic care, they noticed that they didn't get sick like they used to. Keep up with your adjustments, stay away from sugar, take your immune support, we know you'll be glad you did.

Dr. Bob DeMaria interviews Judith about hair regrowth
Hello Everyone!
Hair health is one of our most popular body signals / concerns when individuals come into the office. Oftentimes, your hair’s well-being is a reflection of what is happening on the inside of your body, and can be affected by stress, aging process, and other factors.
Dr. Bob today interviews Judith, who shares what was happening in her life, and how the Collagen Protein from Biotics Research played a part in helping her hair grow back stronger than ever.
If you have thinning hair, or other hair concerns, we invite you to learn more about the product, and even buy online IChocolate and Vanilla are available).
Hello Everybody!
This is Dr. Bob and Debbie DeMaria, and guess what? We are celebrating 46 years of marriage. And we have a wonderful book we want to talk about.
We wrote about our marriage life, in "Dr. Bob's Guide to a Healthy Marriage", and I picked it up the other day, and I opened it up and I said, "Wow, I need to take that tip and put that into practice even more." Dr. Bob, you have a tip for us?
I'm gonna give a tip to the men. Pursue your relationship with your mate just like you did the very first time that you met her. For example, Debbie and I, we went on a little staycation recently. I made lunch the other day, we had a wonderful time spending time together. So I've always wanted to pursue my wife with the same passion that I did 47, 48, 49 years ago. So men, that one's on you. What about your tip, Deb?
I feel communication. Not any person is right 100% of the time, so I think getting to know each other, bending, not always trying to be right, and then getting that common balance, the common ground that you can use to grow and build on. It's not worth being angry, and it's not worth just an explosion, you don't need explosion, what you need is love and patience, kindness, gentleness.
Part of our secret weapon is that we pray together. I like to see it every day, but it doesn't always work, because of my work schedule. I do everything I can to make Debbie's life easy, and I know that Debbie does everything that she can to help myself with my own routine. We exercise together, we go to church, we watch our church service together, we spend time with our friends and our family, and we just don't have a lot of clutter and peripherals in our life. We do everything we can to work on our mutual relationship. Do you have any other tip you wanna add, Deb?
I just wanna say, be in love. Your life is too short, just take advantage of the moments you have and make it the best.
You know what? One last thought, because we had someone who recently lost her husband. I work on hugging my wife every day. So here's the tip for today, hug your mate. This is Dr. Bob and Debbie DeMaria.

Hello Everyone!
We want to talk to you about some unique physiology, especially what Dr. Bob learned back in the 1980s, that at certain times of the year, certain foods can cause pain.
For example, June is the strawberry month. You can have pain in your left neck because of strawberries; July is cherries, and August is peaches. And then, in September, some of you may have an issue with tomatoes or nightshades.
Let us back up a little bit. There's a gland in your body called the pancreas. The pancreas embryologically starts around your left neck and mid-back. Still, about 180 days in gestation, that means it moved to your abdomen when you were developing inside your mother's uterus. So your pancreas moves and gets its electrical information from up here.
That's important because I know a lot of you are reading this right now; most of our patients have left neck and mid-back pain when they come into the office.
Dr. Bob is holding in his hand a product called Intenzyme Forte. Now, Intenzyme Forte has two enzymes, trypsin, and chymotrypsin. Those enzymes are secreted and created by the pancreas. If you eat sugar, your pancreas itself is going to be busy working with breaking everything down, including making insulin and not having enough resources to make trypsin and chymotrypsin. You're going to have pain then. The pancreas produces trypsin and chymotrypsin. The pancreas itself can get tired when you overeat sugar.
We learned over time with our patients that those of you who are eating certain kinds of foods also have pain. For example, grapes can cause your neck to hurt. Also, if you eat watermelon at any time during the year, or if you have pineapple, you can have left neck and mid back pain. We know so many of you like to eat fruit.
Want to learn something new? Grab your wrist. Can you touch a bone? When people do the squeeze the wrist test, there's fluid in their body. You have fluid because your body's in a state of inflammation, and your body's trying to minimize the inflammation. So with the Intenzyme Forte, you want to use it on an empty stomach for inflammation. When you wake up, you could take two or three Intenzyme Forte. You could take two or three at 10:30 and two or three at 3:30 in the afternoon.
If you injure your ankle or a part of your body, you could take five or six at a time. Now, the Intenzyme Forte can also be used as a digestive enzyme. You take that digestive enzyme when you're eating. You may also use it for activities when you're eating it with a meal. Why? Because if you injure yourself, those enzymes will help take care of the inflammation. Let's say you're playing sports, football, soccer, lacrosse, or any sport. You're a bicycle rider. You're a jogger. You're a runner. And if you have inflammation, pop two or three into your body after you're done with your experience. It'll accelerate the recovery time. But come back to the pancreas if you don't want to have pain, back off sugar. If you minimize your pain, eliminate fruit for a month. We promise you'll be glad you did.
It's that time of year again. It's not the wintertime; it's not the fall. It's springtime.
We always have more issues when our practice members have allergy challenges in the spring than in the fall. I think the fall is because of the leaves and the mold in the air coming from the trees, dropping the leaves, and breaking down. But in the springtime, I know all of you when you ever look at your car; sometimes at the end of April or early May, there's like dust on it, that's pollen.
So we have a couple of products that we want to talk about, but I want you to know something, I breathe the same air you breathe, and I don't have airborne allergies. And part of the reason is that I'm very aware of what I put in my body. I do not eat sugar. Sugar compromises the immune system because it takes out cofactor minerals, and sugar places a demand on your white blood count and lymphatic system.
If you're having chronic health issues, you may consider doing the FIT Test. We've had people with chronic digestive, colon function, and breathing challenges because of food sensitivity.
We pride ourselves on teaching you what to avoid regarding our nutritional supplement approach, so maybe next season, you won't have allergies. Does that make sense? The first product is called the antihistamine factor, AHF. It's a proprietary blend of nutrients designed by Zorax Research Company. Histamine is processed in your intestine and is also involved with liver function. When histamine is released, like you know when you have a runny nose, probably the worst thing to take is an antihistamine. Because an antihistamine is tricking your body, that's an important point; it's tricking your body. The antihistamine factor helps your digestive system process histamine. The liver is an integral part of the whole histamine process.
Another suggestion with the Zorex manual is if somebody has a congested or compromised liver and or if you've had your gallbladder out, you may consider taking GB Complete, a sister product of this.
You say, "Dr. Bob, why do I have to take the product?" Because your liver has to do its job - processing the histamine. You see, you have a runny nose in sniffles because your body is creating fluid to dilute the toxin in your body. So taking an antihistamine from an over-the-counter is not getting to the root cause; it's complicating it because your liver has to process the antihistamine. So AHF is changing the physiological response in your body. It's much easier not to eat sugar, dairy, cookies, wheat, or peanut butter.
The HistoPlex-AB or airborne is another proprietary blend. It's a nutrient, and we've had great success with both. This is digestion; this is probably a more symptomatic way to approach it. So think of this as a natural over-the-counter antihistamine. And it works very, very well. And I'm not going to tell you not to use it, but over time, you say, "Dr. Bob, which one of these would you use if you were me?" When you did your report, if we told you had a large liver, you may want to do this. If you have digestive distress, you might want to use this. Why? Because it's digestion. If you have a sniffle here or there and don't have any digestive distress, try the HistoPlex-AB. You could try either one of these, and you could do both simultaneously.
If whomever you are watching me with right now has your gallbladder out, you might want to do AHF and GB Complete. So this is a big puzzle. And we have been fortunate in this office that we think. There's a blood test called the Opti-Cardio Plus or the Opti-Chem. If you are bilirubin, don't you wonder when they come up with these names, your bilirubin. If your bilirubin is elevated, what does that mean? Let's say its range goes from zero to 1.2. You have a gallbladder or liver issue if you're hanging in or about 0.9 or 0.8 or 1.0. The liver is the key, and I don't want to be redundant, but allergies are also digestive issues. Call us today at 440-471-4200 to order the products listed. - Blog is written by Dr. Bob DeMaria

Hello Everybody,
Today, we want to talk to you about your immune system. We have several immune system products available in our wellness store. Some are specific that you could take one every day; some are more important, maybe when you have an “episode.”
From our perspective, we don't want you to have an episode. We don't want you to have any flare up. We know when that happens, consuming sugar could be a part of your life, stress could be a part of your life. You might not be sleeping well; you have a lot going on. Your immune system is compromised.
We've seen that in the last couple of years with people who have a particular health issue. We also have noticed that many people under stress may be making some poor dietary choices, stress from maybe a job loss, a loss of a loved one; you're moving away. Stress can place a demand on your immune system.
So we have two products that we love from Gaia Herbs. Gaia Herbs is probably one of the best herbs that we have been able to find in our country. One happens to be Rapid Immune. You want to have a bottle of Rapid Immune at home in the unlikely possibility, because you're a Drugless Doctor-patient, that if you get sick or you don't feel 100%, you might want to take one, two, or three or four of these in a day. This is going to kickstart your immune system. It is loaded with echinacea. We take several drops of echinacea every day for long-term prevention, along with another product we use in practice called Agrisept. Agrisept's a little bit different than the immune products.
Gaia Herbs wisely created a one-a-day immune system product called Daily Immune. Daily Immune is very similar to Rapid Immune, except it has several other ingredients. And one of my favorite ingredients in this product is larch gum. Larch gum comes from an American Indian root and helps improve lymphatic movement in your body. The lymph system, whose largest lymph node is the spleen, is a fundamental system for excellent immune system function. They also have some mushroom ingredients here; they also have echinacea here. This is a one-a-day product that you could take, and it'll help your immune system consistently over time. This happens to be a product that you will use when you have an immediate attack.
We also, as a side note, have I-A-G. I-A-G is also a powder, and it is an immune system builder, but it has larch gum. And we encourage this, especially for our children and our ladies who maybe have had breast thermography, and we just wanted to throw that tidbit out there because of larch gum. Come and visit us today to help get your immune system back on track!

Dr. Bob DeMaria Discusses the Importance of Oils
Hello, Everyone!
Did you know that oils are essential?
Many people don't like to put oils in their bodies because they think it's going to make them fat, they're going to have a heart attack, or some other adverse health response will happen.
But you know what?
Oil's vital for your brain. Your brain's made up of fat. Your body sends messages along a nerve called the myelin sheath. So that's how your body sends information. Now there are many different types of oils, and we want to give you a brief understanding of the different ones we use in our practice. The main oils we're going to talk about today are omega-6 and omega-3 fats.
We're going to start by using and discussing omega-3 oils. Now, there're two ways to make omega-3 oil for the body.
Number One: you eat food, like green beans, walnuts, and flax seeds. Those foods need to go through steps, becoming something called long-chain fat. One of the long-chain fats is called EPA for the heart; the other is DHA for your brain. So let's go over this again. You can get food or get items to make omega-3 oils by going through steps, plant-based. These also need cofactors like B6, magnesium, and zinc. So many people reading this blog right now might have health issues because you're eating well and you're proud of yourself. However, if you eat walnuts and green beans, which is fantastic, but you're still eating sugar, that sugar will sabotage your body's ability to make the launching fat EPA is heart, DHA is the brain.
Now, these fats go on to become something called prostaglandin. Prostaglandins take away the pain. So when you hear Dr. Bob, Dr. Casen, or Dr. Anthony talk about what you're eating, we know that most of you reading this right now are in the office; if you deviate from your diet, you can have chronic pain that will not go away. Now, another way to make these, or have these, omega-3 fats in your body is from a direct marine source. We use Biomega-1000, Biomega-500. These are sourced from anchovies and sardines.
You could say, "Why do they use that?"
Because they're smaller fish, they're not impacted by toxicity like some larger fish. We're not telling you what fish to use, but you want to use fish from a pure source. The Omega-1000 is 1000 milligrams of oil, and the Omega-500 is 500. Most of you should be taking at least one of these every day, but maybe you have digestive distress when you take one. Should you start with possibly taking a 500? I think it's a good idea to take them before you go to bed at night. So in case you do have digestive distress, it might not bother you.
Also good to know that we can test you for your omega oils. We use the Omega Test, and it's a straightforward test. It's probably an excellent thing to do if you have a history of anxiety, depression, or a family member with Alzheimer's or dementia.
Dr. Bob wrote a book on ADHD over 20 years ago; The rules don't change. So we could tell you if you're concerned that you might have Alzheimer's or dementia, you're going to want to do the Omega Test. And if your DHA level is low, let's just cut to the chase. If your DHA level is down, you're going to have some health challenges.
On the other hand, the EPA is essential for heart health. So we could have somebody that has a high risk for heart health because they have low EPA. It's called eicosapentaenoic acid. EPA's for heart, DHA for the brain. When these oils are done in your body, they make a prostaglandin. Takes away the pain. Like when you use flax oil and go through steps, it also helps take away the pain.
So in the office, one of the flaxes that we use is from Omega Nutrition, a great quality product. It has to go through steps. It needs B6; it needs magnesium. It's perfect. Some people don't want to use marine oils, and I understand this. So flax oil is good. It might not be as effective, but it's still as good if you're doing everything that you're supposed to do. We also have this in a liquid form. The liquid form needs to be refrigerated. I would take two or three of these every day. So flax is a precursor to making the long-chain fat EPA or DHA.
Now we're going to switch gears a little bit. There's something called an essential fatty acid. So essential fatty acids are the omega-3s, but they're also an oil called linolenic and linoleic acid. They're plant-based, and commonly these are omega-6 fats. Omega-6 fats are not bad fats, but we eat too many of them. Most people, if they have snack foods, you start looking at labels, and if you're seeing safflower oil and sunflower oil, and you have inflammation in your body, it's because you could have too many omega-6s in your body. We can check that also with the Omega Test.
If you have too much omega-6 in your body, here's what happens. Both omega-3 and omega-6 fats take away inflammation. But if you consume too many omega-6 fats, safflower oil, and sunflower oil, it can thin your blood too much. That's one of the reasons that people who eat a lot of snack food, what happens is the metabolic pathway in the body flips over to another pathway to make something called arachidonic acid.
What is that all about?
Arachidonic acid causes inflammation. But your body's trying to protect you. You say, "Why?" Because you don't want to bleed to death. That's one of the reasons people eat so many omega-6 fats, so many snack foods, but they started having thick blood. That's why people start taking aspirin. We talk about this in "Dr. Bob's Trans Fat Survival Guide."
Now, omega-6 oils, just like the omega-3 oils, become prostaglandin. These oils become prostaglandin number one. They also take away pain and inflammation. But remember, if you consume too many omega-6 fats, like safflower oil and sunflower oil, you can have inflammation in your body. And we're not trying to confuse you, and we're trying to make a point. Omega-3 fats, fish oil, flax oil precursors remove pain and inflammation. They help your heart, and they help your brain. While omega-6, on the other hand, aren't necessarily designed to help your heart or your brain. Two different areas that we just wanted to make an essential point on.
Now, we know some people are reading this that are only plant-eaters. You don't want anything to do with anything that comes from marine oil. Flax oil is good, and blackcurrant seed oil is good. I take blackcurrant seed once in a while because it's a great source of fats that does not come from an animal source. This is also good for kids with eczema and is suitable for almost any type of skin issue; It's also good for hormones for people.
To recap, oils are essential. You might have pain and inflammation in your body. Your memory might be slipping. Maybe you're having hormonal issues. All could be reasons that you need to look at oil. People on a no-fat, low-fat diet have some major health problems. A lady wrote the forward to Dr. Bob's very first book. Her name was Ann Louise Gittleman, and he learned something from Ann Louise. She said that people on a low-fat diet tend to have some significant health problems down the road. We see it in our practice. Because you use oil for so many functions, it's substantial. Thank you for paying attention. You may consider doing the Omega Test to find out the exact oil levels in your body.

Before we get into the videos, if you are looking for a new approach - or have tried EVERYTHING without the results you were looking for, make an appointment with us today, we can’t wait to help you!
In our first testimonial, Dr. Casen interviews one of our practice members who shares that he is the only one out of his seven siblings that has not needed joint surgery - and he credits this to coming to our practice and receiving chiropractic care as well as other lifestyle and health recommendations.
In our second testimonial video, Dr. Casen interviews one of our practice members who, prior to coming to our office, had two surgeries (rotator cuff and spinal stenosis) - and with our help and precise Chiropractic adjustments, she now "feels so much at ease with my body."
Dr. Aimee interviews one of our practice members who, as an active runner, experienced an injury that prevented him from normally running his average of 30 miles a week. At first, he explains he was skeptical about chiropractic care, but is now a believer, especially since he is now training for his next ultra-marathon.
Dr. Casen interviews one of our practice members who shares how their mobility has improved after they began working from home with long hours in front of the computer. Additionally, they share how our #DruglessDetox has been a success for them and their spouse.
Lastly, Dr. Casen interviews one of our practice members who was diagnosed with fibromyalgia, and how we have been able to help relieve pain through chiropractic and diet choices (no fruit, no dairy, no sugar, no gluten).
Thanks for watching - we’ll see you all soon!

Hi Everyone!
Welcome to our Westlake, Ohio practice. We know that people from all over the world visit our website, and one of the ways to invite them in, is to show them what they can expect when the come to visit us in Westlake, Ohio. Here are some of the key highlights from the video, which you can watch below:
- Our wellness store. We have a variety of nutrients as well as health products that are going to help improve function in your body.
- We have different adjusting suites. These tables are designed for us to make simple, light gentle corrections with everybody that we're working with. When someone's in the office as well, we have all of their information that we've gathered from them on the screen in front of us so that we can give them the very best care in our office.
- When you first come into our office, we're going to sit down with you and talk about your health goals, what's going on and what you've done up until now. One of the most important evaluations that we do is to evaluate your spine and your nervous system. And how we do that is we have our posture zone here.
- We utilize digital films. Digital films have minimal exposure. And we like to do what we call postural films. The individual is standing up because gravity is continually pushing down on top of you. Gives us more of an exact dynamic of what's happening to you over time.
- Finally, we would sit down with someone and go over their findings and create a plan of action for them based on all the information that we collected. So we always like to create something based on someone's goals and our findings so that they can be at the top of their performance when it comes to their health. So we're inviting you to join us at The Drugless Doctors in Westlake - we know, you’ll be glad you did.
Call us today at (440) 471-4200 to schedule an appointment!
