Which is better
Liquid Vitamins or Pills?
Liquid vitamins:
absorb more quickly - A liquid vitamin-mineral product will get into your system within minutes after  consuming it, whereas tablets and capsules could take between 2 and 6 hours.
absorb more completely - It is said that a liquid vitamin-mineral product has from 85%, even up to 98% absorbency. Many of the vitamin pills sold on the market have only 10 to 30% absorbency! The cheaper over the counter vitamin pills would generally be less absorbent than your higher priced and pharmaceutical grades.
Many pill vitamins:
contain toxic fillers - Fillers are toxic, synthetic  additives used to bind the composition of a vitamin. Toxic additives, such as cellulose and gelatin, are commonly used in tablets and rapid release capsules.
Are fillers really that dangerous?
Visible symptoms may not occur immediately, but long-term daily use can cause detrimental effects to major organs, especially with the following commonly found fillers.
Propylene glycol is an antifreeze used in windshield washer fluid and brake fluid and is known to cause liver and kidney damage.
Red #33 &Red #44 dyes may cause allergic reactions ranging from hives to anaphylactic shock.
Talc is widely used not only to soothe irritated skin but  also as a filler in vitamin pills. However, a link has been found between talc and asbestos, revealing they are chemically identical. Asbestos is a chemical known to cause cancer.
These are just a few of the fillers out there. Education is the key. Read the ingredients thoroughly before you purchase any vitamins. All vitamins are NOT the same.
The Conde Center will soon be starting a wellness program, including a wellness coach on staff, a full line of isotonic supplements, a weight loss program and much more to help our patients live a healthier life. More information will be coming your way soon in future newsletters! |

"Phantom" Neurological Conditions
Giving Validity to Your Otherwise
Disregarded Symptoms
Quite often, patients visit our office with very unique neurological and musculoskeletal symptoms. They are frustrated because they have visited the top neurological clinics in the country only to be told that their tests are negative and that they cannot be given a definitive diagnosis. New, cutting edge research is shedding some light on these "phantom" neurological conditions.
 The term functional lesion applies to an area within the central nervous system where the cells are not functioning to their full capacity. When it is applied to one hemisphere of the brain we utilize the term hemisphericity, which essentially means that one side of the brain is under-functioning.
Research tells us that the brain is lateralized or specialized for certain functions. For example, the left hemisphere is more of a literal brain and is typically the dominant center for language. The right hemisphere is more of an abstract brain and is more specialized for social interaction and visuo-spatial knowledge.
The cerebellum region of the brain is responsible for smooth and coordinated movement, balance, and for initiating thought. An area of the brain stem termed the midbrain is responsible largely for abating pain.
If any of these regions become dysfunctional the symptoms will express themselves according to the affected area. Now, what does all of this mean to your health? Many neurological symptoms such as dizziness, pain, weakness, numbness-tingling, focusing difficulties, involuntary movement, and twitching may be a manifestation of functional lesions in very precise regions of the brain.
 After an extensive neurological and orthopedic evaluation excluding organic causes of these symptoms such as a tumor or metabolic disease, a detailed plan of action will be created to address these dysfunctional regions of the brain utilizing "brain-based" therapies. The goal is to bring about stability in the specific area involved through the use of oxygen, nutrition, and most importantly activation. Modalities such as light, sound, smell, balance challenges, oculomotor exercises, vestibular exercises, postural exercises, hemi-filed computer applications, and chiropractic adjustments are utilized unilaterally (one sided) to address the functional lesion.

Question of the Month
What is the Unlimited Potential Program?
The Unlimited Potential Program is a unique, brain-based approach for enhancing neuro-cognitive function and addressing learning/behavioral disorders such as AD/HD, autism, Asperger's, dyslexia, Tourettes, and auditory processing problems. This program is also highly beneficial for parents and children seeking to improve brain-based learning strategies at home or in the classroom.
The program seeks to promote permanent neurological changes through the neurological principle of plasticity, which states that the brain can change according to the environmental influences surrounding it. An exclusive customized treatment plan is then followed leading the way to permanent neurological change.
