I was in Boston this weekend and I saw this honorarium to our fallen soldiers at the Boston Commons. A very somber experience to stand there feel the weight of the number of flags representing the number of the fallen only from Massachusetts. It would be great to see any posts you have seen this weekend wherever you were. Please share them in the comments.

We may not have enjoyed the early Summer this week but my flowers loved it.

Here’s what the RCT published in the European Journal of Neurology actually found:

After 3 months of chiropractic care, migraine days dropped from 6.5 to under 4 per month. Attack duration shortened. Overall migraine burden was dramatically lower than the medication group.

Then treatment stopped.

At 3 months post-treatment: still better.
At 6 months post-treatment: still better.
At 12 months post-treatment: still better.

The medication group had returned to baseline. The chiropractic group hadn’t moved.

This wasn’t a small, low-quality study. It was a three-armed, single-blinded, placebo-controlled randomized controlled trial.

The first in manual therapy history to achieve documented successful blinding. Over 80% of participants couldn’t distinguish real chiropractic from sham at any point during the study. The effect was real.

Peer-reviewed. Randomized controlled trial. European Journal of Neurology. 2017.

You Are Eating Plastic. Every Single Day.
The science on microplastics is no longer fringe — and what it’s finding should concern every American who cares about their family’s health
"Something has quietly entered your body that was never meant to be there. It’s in your blood. It’s in your lungs. Scientists have now found it in human brain tissue, in the placenta, in the hearts of patients who just had strokes. It’s plastic. Microscopic plastic particles. And the emerging science suggests we should all be paying very close attention.
This is not a fringe concern or a conspiracy theory. In just the past two years, a wave of peer-reviewed research has moved microplastics from an environmental footnote to a serious public health conversation. And for those of us who have been asking hard questions about what is in our food, our water, and our environment, the findings are sobering. Not surprising, but sobering."...
