Who was Melvin Page?

Dr. James Warlick — Mon, 14 Nov 2011 01:51:11 +0000

We want to take this opportunity to introduce you to some of the pioneers of nutrition. One such remarkable individual was Melvin Page, DDS, born in Picture Rocks, Pennsylvania in 1894. He was the son of a physician and one of the early pioneers in nutritional biochemistry. He began his career as a school teacher, but decided early on to return to school and obtain his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree. Dr. Page then embarked on a successful dental practice spanning the next 60 years both in Michigan, then later in Florida. Early in his practice he became aware that it was often necessary to remake dentures for many of his patients within a relatively short period of time due to their jaw bones resorbing under the dentures and bridges. In a quest to learn why the mouths of his patients detiorated, Dr. Page ran thousands of blood tests at local hospitals and discovered that no bone absorption occurred (and no cavities) when the calcium to phosphorus ratio was 10 to 4 in the blood. This basic research uncovered the knowledge that white sugar and refined carbohydrates increases serum calcium, due to increased calcium withdrawal from the bones, thereby weakening them. For daring to suggest that patients should change their eating habits and eliminate white sugar and white flour from their diet he was ostracized by his professional colleagues. This caused him to terminate his hospital research and relocate his practice to Florida.
In the early 1960’s Dr. Page found himself indicted for practicing outside his scope of practice. After a lengthy trial in which he produced over 3600 case studies and 40,000 blood tests substantiating over 35 years of research into nutrition, a federal judge found him not guilty and went on to reprimand the AMA for not trying to work with him rather than harass him. Dr. Page’s career was a long and distinguished one in which he persevered in the face of tremendous adversity and criticism by both the dental and medical professions as well as the press.
Dr. Page’s treatment was simple and logical:
1. White sugar and refined carbohydrates are harmful.
2. Chemical additives and food preservatives upset body chemistry.
3. Milk is not the perfect food for everyone.
4. Using whole food vitamins, minerals and digestive enzymes to supplement daily food intake might be necessary.

Hard to believe that was almost a hundred years ago! But he was right then and he is still right today. Melvin Page DDS, Westin Price DDS, Royal Lee DDS, and several others are what is generally known as the forefathers of modern clinical nutrition. This article was prepared by Dr. Rick Marx, a licensed chiropractor assisting Dr. Warlick in Nutritional Response Therapy at Gonstead Family Chiropractic. Dr. Marx has been practicing here in Phoenix for the past 14 years and has an extensive background in nutrition.

You are what you absorb

Dr. James Warlick — Mon, 17 Oct 2011 06:18:40 +0000

We’ve all heard it,… You are what you eat! Right? Well, not exactly. While many scientists and nutritionist may disagree on how many pillars of health there are, one thing is clear – digestion and elimination are one of those cardinal pillars that form the foundation to our health and well-being. Without good absorption/digestion, we can actually starve in the midst of plenty. There are many things that interfere with this process. We hear much today about “gluten,” and sensitivities to this substance. It’s true that gluten can be a real problem for many. But what is it? Do you have a nervous stomach? You eat certain things, or find yourself in stressful situations and the next thing you know, you have to RUN to the bathroom. Why does that happen? Do you need enzymes to digest your food? What in the world are probiotics? Do you have candida? All this and much more will be covered this Thursday night at a free presentation at Gonstead Family Chiropractic. The class starts promptly at 6 PM and ends at 7:30 PM. Please bring a friend and call the office at 623-815-1800 to RSVP. We look forward to seeing you there and helping you and yours have a healthier life. May you never be the same!

The truth about The Incredible Edible Egg!

Dr. James Warlick — Mon, 26 Sep 2011 03:32:21 +0000

It’s amazing how much mis-information has been printed by suppossedly well-meaning researchers. The egg is a prime example. It’s hard to believe how many patients I see that still believe the egg yolk is bad and only consume egg whites. There is very little research to substantiate the ASSumption that too many eggs or egg yolks raises cholesterol levels and there is growing research to support just the opposite. The traditional med-think goes something like this: Cholesterol is bad, eggs are high in cholesterol, therefore they are bad for you. Fortunately, things don’t operate that way in the body. Eggs are also high in things like lecithin which is a fat emulsifier. We need cholesterol for hormone synthesis – especially if you’re a female! Your needs are higher.

The scoop on Genetically Modified foods

Dr. James Warlick — Mon, 22 Aug 2011 05:32:35 +0000

We Americans have lived through many threats that had the potential to wipe out our nation or even our species. Once again we find ourselves in such a predicament. Is it from a renegade meteorite that threatens a cataclysmic ice age as dust covers our planet? Could it possibly be from nuclear holocaust? We’ve watched recently as the ground shifted under the very feet of the Japanese people and many believed the entire island chain would submerge. We saw Hiroshima and Nagasaki decimated by nuclear bombs. Many of you remember the Cuban missile crisis. Well it’s none of these more obvious threats. According to Jeffrey Smith, the threat we face now is from the very foods we are consuming! I just attended a seminar the first week of August where he spoke on Genetically Modified Organisms and their effect on our health. He is the foremost authority on this subject. He affirmed a lot of the things I had supposed. Following are just a few of the things I learned.

Since 1996 Americans have been eating genetically modified (GM) foods. GM plants, such as soybean, corn, cottonseed, and canola, have had foreign genes forced into their DNA. The inserted genes come from species such as bacteria and viruses, which have never been in the human food supply. The American Academy of Environmental Medicine states, “Several animal studies indicate serious health risks associated with GM food,” including infertility, immune problems, accelerated aging, faulty insulin regulation, and changes in major organs and the gastrointestinal system. They ask physicians to advise patients to avoid GM food. There are 8 GM food crops to be aware of. They are; soy, corn, canola, cotton, sugar beets, Hawaiian papaya, zucchini, and yellow crookneck squash.

We have the ability as a people, as consumers, to stop GM foods in this country by voting with our dollars. The Monsanto Corporation told Andersen Consulting (the same company that consulted Enron) that their goal was to have no seeds in the world that they did not produce within ten years. They wanted a monopoly on all food! This is the same chemical company that told us agent orange was safe!! Their tampering with the genetic code of our food may be irreversible in nature and in the effects this may have had on our genome, our very genetic pool as a species. To learn more, check out www.ResponsibleTechnology.org for a downloadable GMO safe foods guide or better yet, read Jeffrey Smiths’ books; Seeds of Deception, Genetic Roulette available through Amazon.com. In the meantime, start asking about the foods you buy and begin avoiding GM foods, especially for your children’s sake. The evidence is overwhelmingly against these foods and hopefully GMs will go the way they did in 1999 in Europe – wiped from the shelves by popular demand and outlawed!

Considering all this, is there a way to possibly detox and cleanse yourself from pesticides and many dangerous chemicals? Yes there is a safe and natural approach that deals with this. It is through Nutrition Response Testing. To find out more call Gonstead Family Chiropractic at 623-815-1800.
