Hello Everyone!
Dr. Anthony interviews George, a retired police officer, who felt an immediate change when he started coming to our practice for care.
As he says, George used to be the biggest skeptic of chiropractic, but with the regular adjustments, he's been feeling painless (we love to hear that!).
If you're feeling skeptical, or you're tired of living with constant pain, we encourage you to come and visit us in Westlake, Ohio or Naples, Florida today!
Hello Everyone!

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. Casen and Dr. Anthony DeMaria are ICPA-certified in pediatric chiropractic.
Hello Everyone,
One of our favorite things to see in our practice are healthy growing kids, and if you're here in our Westlake location, you might see families and babies, and even as you're reading this, you might see strollers coming in and you might be thinking to yourself, "Why would a newborn baby come to see the chiropractor?"
That's a great question!
What's really amazing about our body is when you first were born, the birth process, that is 90 pounds of pressure on the brain and the spinal cord. So out of curiosity, how many of you, raise of hands, have ever run into a glass door before? Maybe you don't want to admit it, or maybe a screen or something that was so clean you didn't even know that it was there. Well, what I want you to think about is that impact of that child running full force into the door, it impacted his spine for the rest of his life.
What's really amazing about that is as chiropractors, we evaluate spinal function to see if there's any of those misalignments that could have happened when you were a child of different postures, and the benefit of specific adjustments, it changes everything: Better school, better focus, maybe you will be getting along with your family members better, even choosing better choices like eating more vegetables, sleep, posture, it's all connected with the nervous system.
So if you know someone that's younger and you watch them and they're playing sports and they have backpacks on, consider sharing our office with them, I know you'll be glad you did.
Dr. Casen interviews one of our young practice members who shares that they would wake up three times a night, but with chiropractic care, they can now sleep without any interruptions - how exciting!
If you have young children in your life and are looking for a new approach to optimal health, including chiropractic, both Dr. Anthony and Dr. Casen are certified with the ICPA and are happy to assist.

Testimonial: Vertigo Relief with Chiropractic
Dr. Bob DeMaria and Friend
Hi Everyone!
As you know, we love sharing the testimonials of those who have seen positive changes in their health, and today, Dr. Bob interviews someone who had vertigo for many years. She shares her experience prior to coming to visit us and how chiropractic from our practice has been a “Godsend.”
If this resonates with you or someone you know, please come and visit us today in Westlake, Ohio or Naples, Florida. We’re here to make a difference in your life!
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. Casen DeMaria and friend

Improving Body Function: Posture, Food Choices, & More
Hello Everyone, Dr. Casen and Dr. Bob coming to you from Westlake, and we are so excited to share with you how we can help to improve function naturally in your body without drugs.
Here are the three top takeaways for you within the video (watch below):
Number one: For us, we are chiropractors, so number one, we're working on your brain and your spinal cord. And what's really interesting, right now with stress and everything else going on, so many people today, they have this forward posture.
Maybe you don't look at your posture, but we want to encourage you right now, start looking at people's posture. And, do you have a tendency to slouch? That's one of the biggest things that we're seeing with our students and our kids right now. Whether they're in sports or they have heavy backpacks, literally every inch your head goes forward it's one bowling ball of pressure on your spinal cord.
So, we take images, we take X-rays of the spine and we can actually evaluate how your spine's moving or not moving. So, if you've never had your spine evaluated through X-rays, through films, I encourage you to schedule an appointment, especially if you have young kids. Your spine is not completely grown until you're 22.
Number two: What did you eat for breakfast, lunch, dinner? What do you have planned for this week whenever you're watching us for your kids and your family? What have you prepared already for this week for that fuel in your body? It's literally like you're filling up your rocket ship.
What's kind of interesting is that most people eat between 12 and 15 foods. And this individual right here, every night they have a heavy shot of espresso with heavy cream and sugar-free vanilla syrup. You can see, every night they had that. And so, then also, so we're not here to say what food is a good or a bad food, but there's something called a nightshade: tomatoes, potatoes, eggplant and green pepper. We’re not saying they're good or bad, but there's some people that have issues with nightshades, and you can see I have circled Dr. C that they had potatoes every night.
Number three: The liver is such a key organ. We do breast thermography in the office and the breasts drain into the armpit which drains into the liver. So, we know that if a woman has congestion in the armpit area they have potential to have some liver distress also compounding that.
We know that the liver's the main filter in the body. But, you know, Dr. Casen, I wrote a book on preventing surgery, and one of the chapters in there is about spinal surgery. And I talk about the liver. We literally see the liver go down to a person's pelvis. So, if you have a liver that's not functioning optimally it can cause back pain.
Ladies, do you have tender breasts, heavy menses? Body signals that your liver might not be functioning optimally. And gentlemen, if you're having any kind of prostate issue, your liver has to process estrogen for you also. So the liver is just one of many, many organs in the body that can impact individual health.
- And what's really interesting as we're talking about prevention, and I was thinking about this today, Dr. Bob, as we were reviewing some of these breast thermography results, it's such an illusion for you if you have low risk at something or if you're going to get your blood test done once a year. Think of how much can happen in your life, whether it's a change overall in your responsibilities, stress, activities, foods, over time those factors can contribute to other things which could be a compromised immune system, low energy, brain fog, mental health, Dr. Bob. It's all connected. So, whether it's ourselves or someone else in your life, you really wanna have a consistent wellness strategy.
With chiropractic, with nutrition, breast thermography, something that you're continually working on these habits, because it does not happen overnight and you can't expect to be happy and healthy long term if you're not really working on these habits overall.
Why don't you give them some final thoughts, Dr. Casen?
So, number one, look at your posture. Check out to see how your body's functioning on the inside. I know Dr. Bob and I talked about food choices. So start looking at what you are preparing this week for your breakfast, lunch, and dinner. And if you need tips go ahead and look at our YouTube channels and our social media. And lastly, in regards to your liver health, if you do have these body signals, consider scheduling an appointment in our office or look us up online on druglessdoctor.com on our global website. Contact us today for an appointment.
