Activator Methods

Activator method utilizes a low force adjusting tool to make a correction at a misaligned joint. Dr. Best 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 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.

Cleanses and Detoxing

---

When it comes to 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.

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 also do not recommend the Stanley Burroughs Cleanse as I have seen it heavily deplete the good minerals in the body.

Dr. Budwig Diet - Flax Seed Diet

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.

EB Pro Detoxification System

An incredible adjunct to any body detoxification program.

Wellness Weight Loss

Information on weight loss and removing inflammatory foods from your diet. Burning fat does release the toxins that have been stored in fat. Drink plenty of water on any weight loss program.

Stanley Borroughs Master Cleanse

This use to be one of my favorites but I no longer recommend this cleanse as I personally found depletion good minerals.

A long standing cleanse by Stanley Borroughs. This a minimum 10 day fast drinking and mixture of lemon juice, water, cayenne and grade B maple syrup.  I recommend getting his small booklet which explains his theory on this cleanse.  I personally have done this cleanse more than 1/2 dozen times.  Always consult with your physician before taking on a major fast or cleanse.

Liver Gall Bladder Flush

One of the fastest ways to detoxify the liver and gallbladder, but may be to harsh for you.  I have personally done this flush more than 1/2 dozen times.  The first time was very rough and by the 4th time had very little detoxification side effects.  Always consult with your physician before taking on a major fast or cleanse.
