Some Real Causes of Breast Cancer
By Dr. Cynthia Horner
Why Are We Running For the Cure But Running From The Cause?
Breast cancer in both men and women is a serious issue. Yes, breast cancer does affect men also. My heart is touched by those who
have endured treatment or have had their breasts removed because of this disease. What troubles me is the media’s and medical community’s avoidance to acknowledge that many of the causes of breast cancer are well known and therefore breast cancer could be reduced or prevented.
I am not a fan of Susan G. Komen for the cure and I am far from alone in this opinion. I will support breast cancer research and efforts to eliminate causes of breast cancer but I will not run to support a multi-million-dollar company with assets totaling over 390 million dollars . Only 20.9% of these funds were reportedly used in the 2009-2010 fiscal year for research, “for the cure.” Why don’t we close the barn door before the animals get out. I am all for doing as much to prevent the causes of breast cancer as cure it. Continue reading

Not All Natural Estrogens Are The Same
by Dr. Cynthia Horner
Estrogen refers to a group of 20 hormones with similar molecular structure and similar names. Three estrogens – estradiol, estrone

Are You a Mosquito Magnet?
By Dr. Cynthia Horner
Do you find yourself swatting mosquitoes while sitting out on a summer night when others around you seem unaffected?
There is a reason for that.
Mosquitoes are attracted to mild acids. People who eat a diet high in refined carbohydrates, meat and hydrogenated fats (transfats as in margarine) produce a lot of acid in their body tissues.

Health is greatly dependent on the amount and quality of light that shines on our skin and eyes.There has been much controversy about whether sun is helpful or harmful. Understanding a little about the light of the sun and how it compares to the light of tanning beds and the effect the chemicals in
sunscreen have on your skin will help you make wise decisions about your days in the sun.
Chiropractic Adjustments Change Brain Patterns
By Dr. Cynthia Horner
Why would anyone see a chiropractor if they are not in pain?
Today people receive more information each day than their parents did a generation ago.

It’s Time to Ease the Burden for Our Children
By Dr Cynthia Horner
As a family and pediatric chiropractor I have been adjusting children in my office for 15 years. In the last few years I am seeing children and teens with serious spinal conditions from carrying heavy loads resulting in backpack injury. Parents had been bringing their kids to me for wellness spinal analysis having their spines checked before problems were bad enough for pain or symptoms to be present. Now many young people are complaining to their parents about pain in their legs, back, and shoulders and constant achy muscles. Continue reading
