Dr. Stanczak Asks some important questions of interest to Roseville residents - Chiropractor Roseville Dr. Stanczak Asks...

Can chiropractic cure a child's ear infections?
Chiropractic isn't a cure for anything. Nor is it a treatment for ear infections. However, many children who suffer with ear infections also suffer from spinal problems in their neck, compromising nerves to the ear, depressing the immune system and preventing proper drainage. Can chiropractic help? Find out!
What's the difference between a "good" drug and a "bad" drug?
As a chiropractor, I see the use of many drugs (legal or illegal) as merely symptom treating. Worse, virtually every drug produces unwanted effects. The effects of chiropractic are largely positive effects. If you're a Roseville parent, consider carefully before giving your child a cough medication, cold remedy or pain reliever so this sort of question doesn't arise in the first place.

Try Sprouting to Improve Your Health

Diet and nutrition image.

One of the easiest and healthiest ways to improve your diet involves something you can do in your own home – sprouting!

Sprouts, also called “living food,” are one of the most nutritionally complete foods you can eat. The Chinese became aware of their nutritional value many centuries ago, and for good reason – sprouts are rich in vitamins, minerals, enzymes and proteins that are essential to your diet:

  • Broccoli sprouts contain a high percentage of cancer-fighting agents – in fact researchers have discovered that 3-day sprouts contain 20-30% more of cancer-fighting antioxidants than the broccoli you buy in the supermarket

  • Sprouts are easily digested and aid in the digestive process

  • Sprouts are fresh, easy to grow and harvest and are inexpensive

  • Growing you own sprouts provides you with organically grown salad greens – no pesticides or toxic chemicals to worry about!

  • Sprouts you can grow yourself can help keep your immune system functioning in tip-top condition

The best types of sprouts to grow include alfalfa, wheat grass, barley grass, buckwheat, garlic, chives, baby sunflower, Chinese cabbage, purple turnip, and curly kale.

There are on-line resources you can visit to help you get started. Do a search on “sprouting seeds.” You can also visit a health food store to obtain sprouting seeds and a wealth of information and advice on how to grow your own sprouts. Make sure the sprouting seeds are certified organic. Also, be sure to refrigerate your sprouts after picking them – although they are best eaten the day you pick them!
