With all of the candies and chocolates and deliciousness going around during the holiday, I came across this poem that pretty much sums it all up:
"My husband, so sweet Brought hand made chocolates For me as a treat In a flower covered box Came the delicious confection But I am at a loss to answer A most curious question How can two pounds of chocs So delicious on the lips Manage in just one night To put 5lbs on my hips!
Happy Valentines Day!

Avoid the Big Time Corporate Heart Attack
By Al Sears, MD
You probably know the enron CEO Ken Lay's life was cut short by a heart attack. His doctors knew he had heart diseas. In fact, he had suffered several heart attacks before the one that killed him and he'd been taking statin drugs to lower his cholesterol for years.
Statin drugs work by blocking the body's production of cholesterol. This lowers total cholesterol - not just "bad" LDL cholesterol but also good HDL cholesterol. And to avoid developing heart disease - even to reverse damage that's already been done - HDL is key.
HDL can reduce your risk of heart disease regardless of your LDL levels. The framingham study (the most reliable and unbiased source of data for heart disease risk) shows that if your HDL is high enough, your LDL will have no negative impact on your heart health. In fact, if your HDL is above 85, you are at no greater risk of heart disease if your total cholesterol is 350 tha if it's 150.
Here are four natural ways to increase your HDL:
1. Exercise in intervals at progressively higher intensity as you get used to it - for 20 minutes every day.
2. Eliminate trans-fats from your diet. Cut out breaded/fried foods, commercially baked crackers and cookies, and anything containing hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated vegetable or soybean oil.
3. Increase your omega-3 fatty acids by adding fish oils, avacados, nuts, olives, and eggs to your diet.
4. Add fresh garlic to your meals as often as possible.

Our Patients Are GETTING OUT OF PAIN!
"A serious accident left my lower back and hip in unbearable pain. Shortly after Dr. Mace's help my pain was relieved and I was feeling normal again."
- Ginny Chattin, Spring Valley, CA
"Dr. Mace Richter gave me back my life... his healing touch has restored my energy and concentration. For the first time in 23 years I am pain free!"
- Mary Sue Connelly, Jamul, CA
I had rediculous lower back and sholder pain and decided to pay Dr. Richter a visit after being reffered by two coworkers. I could not sleep well, had a hard time walking, and could not get my throw from first to second base without excruciating pain. After seeing Dr. Richter for about two months, I felt like a new person. I was sleeping like a baby, I started training for a half-marathon, and I was gunning out runners at home plate once again. I stopped my sessions because I went out of town, and after a couple of weeks I had a hard time even sleeping again. I just called Richter Chiropractic and I'm heading out there this evening.

Dr. Mace's Patient of the Month!
Maggie Genzalez-Robinson!
Maggie is our Patient of the Month February 2010 for many reasons.
First, she is consistent in her appointments and as a result she is making excellent progress. I heard rumor there has been some dancing taking place!
Secondly, I have to tell you, is Maggie's laugh. Maggie has an infectious laugh that spreads throughout the office. She is so fun have her as a patient!
Lastly, but NOT least, Maggie has personally referred into the office her family (husband, son, daughter, and grandson) all of who are now new patients. She didn't stop there though... Maggie has set up and coordinated 4 message screenings at her workplace Cuyamaca College. At these screenings my staff were able to meed (and massage!) her coworkers. Thanks to Maggie 15 have become new patients! WOW!!!
Thank you. Maggie, for all that you have done for my practice and you've done for your friends, co-workers and family to help them get out of pain.
Washington's Birthday is the official name designated to what many of us know as President's Day. During the month of February the birthday of two of our greatest President's takes place: both George Washington, who was born on Feb. 22nd and Abrahame Lincoln, born on Feb. 12th.
However, Washington's birthday has been publicly celebrated since he was in office, before Abraham Lincolin was even born. Much of the debate over the name of the holiday springs from the fact that state's can follow their own holidays how they see fit and many of them chose to also honor Lincoln, calling the celebration President's Day
It was in 1968 that the term President's Day came up for legal consideration in the Congress but was shot down, though the holiday was moved to fall between the two President's birthdays. Again in the 1980's there was a resurgence of the term with advertisers which solidified the holiday name in American culture. Today, few Americans prefer to call the holiday Washington's Birthday in lieu of President's Day.
