The Cloverleaf Chiropractic Show

Fever the most misunderstood symptom
 
Welcome to Cloverleaf Chiropractic Show. And today we're going to talk about a fever. What is a fever? I think fever is one of the most misunderstood symptom in the body that people don't really know how to handle. So, fever. That's what we're going to focus on today.
 
My name is Dr. Daniel Vectra. I'm a Doctor of Chiropractic. Stay tuned for Cloverleaf Chiropractic Show. And we're doing the show to educate the public about health and wellness. And especially today, we're going to focus on fever, what it is and how to handle it, and what to do about it and what does he mean?
 
So what is a fever? A fever is a temporary increase in the body temperature, oftentimes indicating that there's an illness. So it's a sign of something out of the ordinary, going on in your body. And not everybody's normal temperatures the same. So the baseline of a normal fever is 98.2. Now with this COVID, everywhere you go, everybody is checking your fever.
You know, do you have fever? So it's 98.2 degrees Fahrenheit. But not everybody is the same. Some people have it lower, some people have been higher. And the adult body temperature can be anywhere from 97 to 99. And children can have a temperature from 97 to 100. So it varies. So does your temperature stayed the same all the time? No, it does not.
It's not the same all the time. It changes throughout your lifetime and throughout the day. Sometimes some things that can cause your temperature change is how active you are, what time of the day, your age, your sex, what you've eaten, what you've drunk you know, what you're drinking. Some women that are having their menstrual cycle.
So your body temperature changes, basically depending on where you measure it. And the arm reading tends to be about a degree lower than the mouth reading. Rectal reading tends to be a degree higher than the mouth.
Oral and rectal thermometers generally provide the most accurate measure of the body temperature. So ear and forehead thermometer, which is basically what most people are using today is the most convenient and the less accurate temperature reading. So what can cause a fever?

The purpose of pain
Welcome to Cloverleaf Chiropractic Show. Today, we're going to do the show on what pain is, and what the purpose of pain is. And what does it mean to have pain in the body? How do we deal with it? What's the best way to handle it? My name is Dr. Daniel Abeckjerr, I'm a Doctor of Chiropractic. Stay tuned.
And this show is about what pain is, how do we deal with it? What do we do? How do we handle it? You know, what's the best way to deal with a symptom like pain? So what is pain? Pain is the signal in your body or in your nervous system that something is wrong, that something is not right. It's not a good feeling, it's not a pleasant feeling. But there's different reason for it.
So it could be steady pain, it could be throbbing pain, it could be stabbing, sharp like a knife pain, it could be aching, it could be pinching. And sometimes it comes in it goes…. Like a toothache you know, it comes in and goes. And sometimes it's quiet during the day, and it's worse at night, and it throbs at night, and it's more significant than and you feel it more.
And sometimes it can be constant. Sometimes it's everywhere, the whole body, it affects your function. Some people you know, commit suicide because of pain, because they can't handle it.
So there's two kinds of pain. There's acute pain, and there's chronic pain.
Acute means severe, it's short lived. And you know, basically it just tells you that the body was injured, something, some kind of trauma occurred. Chronic Pain is something that's marked severe that's there all the time and never goes away, or it's there for a long period of time.
And it's a result of a disease or some kind of illness. Like people that have fibromyalgia you know, they have the pain all the time. And it just doesn't go away, and it's constant, and it’s there with you for years. So pain can interfere with your function, it can interfere with what you do every day. It can interfere with sleep, it can interfere with your work, it can interfere with your activities, your quality of time with your family and your friends.
So how do we take care of pain? How do we treat it? How do we handle it? You know, basically, most of the time, the average person goes to the family doctor. And basically what we're directed to do is to take some kind of medication to manage the symptom, to manage the pain.

Welcome to Cloverleaf Chiropractic Show. Today, I'm going to do the show on cancer prevention.
Welcome to the Cloverleaf Chiropractic Show, a podcast advocating wellness, life and healing from within. With 38 years in practice, 50,000 patients and over 1 million chiropractic adjustments, here's your host, Dr. Daniel Abeckjerr.
A different perspective on Cancer
My name is Dr. Daniel Abeckjerr. I'm a Doctor of Chiropractic. And today we're going to talk about a different approach about how to look at cancer, and some of the things that are going on today with the science of cancer, the new research and the new things that are coming out. So stay tuned. I'm doing this show to educate the public on health and wellness. And we're going to talk about different statistics about what cancer is and where we are with cancer today.
The goal of today is to look at prevention. You know, how do we prevent having cancer? How can we radically change our view on health, and what are some of the tools that we can take to look at health and life? There's no one out there that's not affected by cancer. Everybody has some kind of cancer close by friends, family, that have been touched by cancer. So it's important to educate yourself so you can become a leader in your community.
And you can understand how the body works. And you know how to create a fine tuned, efficient body that can fight disease and fight off cancer. So, some of the prediction that the CDC has, is basically the new cancer cases are expected to increase from 1.5 million per year in 2010 to 1.9 million per year in 2020. The number of cancer deaths expected to increase from 575,000 in 2010 to 630,000 in 2020, which is basically the number one killer in America today. Between 2010 and 2020, the new cancer cases and are going to go up by 24% or are going up by 24% in men to 1 million cases per year and 21% in women to 900,000 cases per year.
So the kind of cancer that we expect to increase the most are the melanoma which is the deadliest kind of skin cancer in white men and women.

Headaches and migraines what you dont know
Welcome to the Cloverleaf Chiropractic Show. Today, we're going to talk about headaches and migraine, and a different way to look at headaches and how to find a solution.
Welcome to the Cloverleaf Chiropractic Show, a podcast advocating wellness, life and healing from within. With 38 years in practice, 50,000 patients and over 1 million chiropractic adjustments, here's your host, Dr. Daniel Abeckjerr.
My name is Dr. Daniel Abeckjerr, I'm a Doctor of Chiropractic. And we're going to focus on migraines and headaches and different reasons why people get headaches and what's the solution to find a cure. This is a very important topic for me because I suffered with migraines for 17 years, almost every day, I woke up with severe severe migraines.
And it was a long journey for me to find a solution, and I did find a solution. So I’ll talk a little bit more about that, but there is an epidemic out there, and there's 45 million Americans that suffer with headaches. And in my practice we see a lot of people that come in with headaches and migraines.
And it's a very important topic because when you suffer migraine, it's very debilitating you know; it affects your life in a way that you just cannot function. So primary type of headaches; 90 percent of all the headaches come from tension, migraine, cluster headaches, cervicogenic headaches, which is basically coming from the spine, coming from the neck, coming from the neck area, bones out of alignment that can cause headaches.
So the secondary type of headaches come from illnesses like blood pressure; high blood pressure or brain tumors. And you know, those are different kinds of headaches. So common headache types that we have today are sinus headaches; one of them is sinus headaches, and it's usually behind the forehead and the cheekbone. The second type of headaches are the cluster headaches, and basically they focus around the eyes.
The third kind of headaches are tension headaches that basically feel like a band squeezing your head. And the last kind of headaches are the migraine type, which can cause pain, can cause nausea, can cause visual disturbances or changes. And basically that's the one that I suffered with, it’s basically the migraine. Chronic type of tension headaches are the most common variety, and it affects more women than men.

The lifestyle to live healthy 100 years
Welcome to Cloverleaf Chiropractic Show. Today I’m going to talk to you about how to enhance your health, vitality and quality of life to reach 100 years of age.
Welcome to the Cloverleaf Chiropractic Show, a podcast advocating wellness, life and healing from within. With 38 years in practice, 50,000 patients and over 1 million chiropractic adjustments, here's your host, Dr. Daniel Abeckjerr.
My name is Dr. Daniel Abeckjerr, Doctor of Chiropractic. And today, we're going to talk about what to do to reach 100 years of age. Stay tuned. And I’m doing this show to educate the public on health and wellness, and we're going to talk about health to live a long life.
So what is the key to longevity? How do we make it to 100? Things that we can do to change our lives so that we can reach a hundred years of age, but not only live longer, but live with good quality of life.
Would you rather live to a hundred and be in a nursing home or would you rather live to 100 and be in a cruise ship and enjoy your life and have fun and do all the things that you want to do? So some of the statistics in the US; in 1980, there was only 30 000 people that lived to a hundred years of age. In 2009, there was a hundred thousand people that lived 100 years of age. And now we're predicting that in 2050, there will be at least a million people that will live to a hundred years of age.
So we have a body that's designed to be around for at least 120 years, so we have the ability to live to 100; at least. My father's family, they all live you know, very old, and over 100 years of age. My father's mom was 103 years old when she passed away, and she lived by herself, cooked every day.
She would go to the market every day until the last day that she died. So she was 103 years of age, but she was active and she was able to do whatever she wanted to do. So I went to the doctor for an examination for my dad, and the nurse sat down with my dad and asked him, and said well you know.
“What was your family's health like you know? How old did your mom live and how old did your dad live and how old did your sister and your brother?” And he would respond well, they just died you know, each person just died of old age. They're just you know, and they lived up to 90, 95, 100, 103.
And every person he went by…. And he had a big family. I just sat there and listened to him and I couldn't believe it, but every person died of old age, nobody really died of an illness. And everybody lived a long long life. So my dad passed away about a year ago, and he was 94 years old.

A new perspective on concussions and what do about them
Welcome to Cloverleaf Chiropractic Show. Today, we're going to do a show on concussion and a different perspective on how to handle a concussion and what's the best way to take care of a person to recover as fast as possible.
Welcome to the Cloverleaf Chiropractic Show, a podcast advocating wellness, life and healing from within. With 38 years in practice, 50,000 patients and over 1 million chiropractic is adjustments, here's your host, Dr. Daniel Abeckjerr.
My name is Dr. Daniel Abeckjerr. I'm a Doctor of Chiropractic. Stay tuned. And I'm going to do this show on educating the public on health and wellness. And we're going to focus today on concussions.
So what is a concussion? A concussion is a traumatic brain injury that's caused by an accident or a fall or trauma. And basically what happens is a rapid movement forcing the brain to move back and forth inside of the skull. So concussions can range from mild to severe with symptoms.
And some of the symptoms are things like headaches, head pressure, blurry vision, confusion, dizziness, sleep issues, anxiety, depression, mood swings, and a lot more. While some of the symptoms will show right away, some symptoms show later. And it can be hours, it can be days, or it can be weeks.
So my daughter had a concussion. She was at University of Miami about 7 years ago, and she was in the bathroom, and she had put a bag of her clothes on the floor. And as she got up, she hit her head on the hand dryer, and she hit it with full force, and she fell to the floor and passed out.
And she created a concussion in her brain, and that changed her life for about a year of her life. So at that point, she had the MRIs, the tests and everything, and it took a whole year for her to recover. And she was not the same at all, and she had to stop and quit school for 1-year time. She came home and we had to take care of her for that amount of time.
So what is the approach of conventional medicine? Basically, the approach is preventing the problems and management of the symptoms. You know, basically they manage the symptoms; the headaches, the symptoms that come with a concussion. With chiropractic care, we take the treatment a step further, we address the underlying concerns that comes with concussions.
So instead of giving medication, anti-inflammatory and painkillers and all these things, we go to the root cause and we look at dysfunction that comes with a concussion, which involves the muscles and the nervous system.

Chiropractic Care and your health
Welcome to Cloverleaf Chiropractic Show. Today we're going to talk about what Chiropractic is and how it works, and how there's so much more to what we do than what most people think. It is going to be eye opening.
Welcome to the Cloverleaf Chiropractic Show, a podcast advocating wellness life and healing from within. With 38 years in practice, 50,000 patients and over 1 million chiropractic adjustments, here's your host, Dr. Daniel Abeckjerr.
My name is Dr. Daniel Abeckjerr, Doctor of Chiropractic. Stay tuned in, I'm doing this show today to educate the public on what Chiropractic is, and how it's much more than what people think it is.
What is Chiropractic? Chiropractic is the study of the spine and the relationship to the nervous system, and how it functions and how it works. Basically, the nervous system controls everything, every function in the body is controlled by your nervous system.
So how can the spine affect the function of your body? If there is a misalignment in your spine, then the communication from the brain will not be able to travel down the spinal cord down to the nerve and down to the organs, and you're not going to have 100% health. So basically, your transmission of the messages from the brain travels to your spine to the tissue cells, and basically can affect every part of your body.
So when you have a bone that's out of alignment, it's going to affect your health. So you're going to have what is called a subluxation. I know that's a fancy word, but basically what it means it just means that the structure, you know, that basically the bone is going to be out of alignment and there is a displacement of the bone in your spine or the vertebrae. And the only way you can see that is with an X-ray.
So basically, the bone will be out of place and that's going to cause pressure on the nerve and that's going to interfere with the messages in your spine. And you're not going to function on 100%. So what can this do? It can cause health problems like headaches. This is Bell's. Problems with the neck, and basically, that can go down to the shoulders, the arm, the hands, it can affect the organs, the glands, the thyroid.
And that can affect the hormones. In the low back, that can cause what people call sciatica or pain down the leg. But also, that's going to cause problems with intestinal tract, it can cause problem with the bladder, problem with the prostate. It basically can affect everything, every part of your body. So what can cause a subluxation? There's three things that can cause the subluxation.

The Real Power of Vitamin D
Welcome to Cloverleaf Chiropractic Show. Today I'm going to talk to you about the real power of vitamin D. How important vitamin D is to the body.
Welcome to the Cloverleaf Chiropractic Show, a podcast advocating wellness, life and healing from within. With 38 years in practice, 50,000 patients and over 1 million chiropractic adjustments, here's your host, Dr. Daniel Abeckjerr.
My name is Dr. Daniel Abeckjerr. I'm a Doctor of Chiropractic. Stay tuned. I'm doing the show to educate the public on what health is and what wellness is and how to take care of our body better and how we can improve our health.
How important is vitamin D in the body?
I usually don't talk much about vitamins or nutrition as it is not my field. So, but I cannot help talking about the subject because the more I hear and the more I learn about this topic, I realize how important it is to have vitamin D, and how misinformed we are today as far as what vitamin D is and how we're supposed to take care of ourselves and how we're supposed to stay away from the sun. So I read some articles. It all started with this article that I read on COVID-19 and how important vitamin D is for COVID-19. And basically, the correlation between the two is about the immune system. So most people in general are very low on vitamin D. Three out of four women are deficient in vitamin D.
And basically what's happening is, most of us or most women, a lot of women don't want to go in the sun because apparently it affects the skin and it can cause the wrinkles and basically, it's for your looks, in the beauty. The question is, which one is healthier and which one is more important? Is health more important than looks? I think definitely we should understand what are some of the consequences of not getting enough vitamin D. So low vitamin D can cause all kinds of health issues.
And originally, it started with rickets. Then it can cause osteoporosis and tuberculosis, cancer; breast cancer, colon cancer. So vitamin, you know, is getting a lot of attention these days. And basically people are really listening and paying attention why, you know, what is this thing? Why is vitamin D so important? So, the thing about vitamin D is that you get it from sitting in the sun and it doesn't cost any money, and there's plenty abundance of it. And it's extremely vital to the body. So, let's talk in detail about what can happen when you are deficient in vitamin D.
So one of the diseases that used to result as a result of vitamin D deficiency was rickets. In the old days, it was very common. The Rickett is when the bone is soft and is very common in children.

Welcome to Cloverleaf Chiropractic Show. Today I'm going to talk about how important scoliosis is and how serious it is and how it can affect a child's health.
 Welcome to the Cloverleaf Chiropractic Show, a podcast advocating wellness, life and healing from within. With 38 years in practice, 50,000 patients and over 1 million chiropractic adjustments, here's your host, Dr. Daniel Abeckjerr.
My name is Dr. Daniel Abeckjerr. I'm a Doctor of Chiropractic, and we're doing the show to educate the public on Health and Chiropractic. And today we're going to focus on what the spine does when there's a scoliosis and what happens to your health and how it can affect your health and how important it is to address a scoliosis, especially in the young child.
June is the month of scoliosis. And basically this is when most people focus on what a scoliosis is. And back to school is coming up in August, and a lot of their parents are worried about their kids and their health and it's a good time to do a checkup for the kids and check them for spinal problems, especially scoliosis.
And today, it's a very common thing that's happening. I don't know why a lot of the kids are coming up with scoliosis in their spine. I guess it's the change in time, it's a change in how the kids are handling their posture and in what we do; we’re sitting at home a lot and we're on the computer a lot. And you know, things are different than what they were 10 years ago, 20 years ago.
So what is a scoliosis? A scoliosis is a curvature of the spine sideways. And basically the spine instead of being straight, it looks like an “S”. So imagine an “S” in your back instead of a straight spine. If you look at your pen, it's straight, straight as an arrow. That's how your spine should be. It occurs a lot of times around the growth spur, right before puberty, around 12, 13 years of age is when most people find it.
A scoliosis affects the entire skeletal system; and includes the spine, their ribs, the pelvis. It affects the brain, the central nervous system. It affects the hormones, the digestive system. It can deplete the body from nutritional resources, it can affect and damage major organs such as the heart and the lung.
And the reason for that is a lot of times when there's a scoliosis, the rib can be distorted, and that can cause pressure on the heart, and squeeze the heart, and squeeze the lung. On one side, we will have more pressure than the other side. So there's different types of scoliosis. There's different categories; there's 3 categories, and there are 7 types of scoliosis. So the 3 categories are idiopathic; idiopathic means, we don't know.

How to manage your health from the inside out.
Welcome to Cloverleaf Chiropractic Show. Today, I'm going to talk to you about how to manage your health from the inside out.
My name is Dr. Daniel Abeckjerr, doctor of chiropractic. Stay tuned. I'm doing this show to educate the public on health and wellness. And today we're going to talk about living your life from the inside out versus the outside in.
So I was talking to a friend of mine a few days ago that is a Hindu priest. And he founded a Hindu temple near my office and we often talk about life and the Hindu philosophy of life. He said something really interesting. He said he people of this world live their lives in an outside in lifestyle. He said we do everything from the outside in. He said its all about materialism.
And he said people don’t talk to each other anymore, and they don’t sit and have a meal or sit together and talk to each other. He said it’s all about material, it’s all about cars, houses, phone, social media, sitting on the phone all day and just looking at the social media. He said the world as it is today operates in the outside in philosophy. And we look at the solution to life from the outside in instead of looking on the inside. He was referring to what’s going on today in the politics and Covid-19 and all the things that are happening today.
So I thought about that and when I look at health care, it’s pretty much the same thing. Everything is from the outside in, and it seems like everybody is looking at health from the outside in. And I see it happening all the time. Health has always been looked at from the outside. And you know, when people have health issues, instead of looking and trying to figure out what's going on, they're just trying to, let's see if I can take a pill, just to fix the problem.
So everybody is looking for the drug to resolve their healthcare issues. If our diet is bad, if we end up with high blood pressure, if we're diabetic or if we overweight, we think there's a drug that will cure the problem, taking a pill will resolve the problem. We all want a quick fix from the outside. If we’re overweight, instead of taking care of ourselves, we look at gastric bypass, that’s a solution. And the truth is we need to make a lifestyle change. 
When we’re stressed and we look at the food as a solution to stress. If we have a lot of stress and cannot sleep at night, the solution is a simple pill; a sleeping pill. That’s extremely addictive, and that’s our solution. Again, another outside in solution. The solution to lower this stress is basically finding the problem so that we’re not plagued with insomnia. And again, people looking to drugs for everything.
