Chicken Fajitas & Homemade Salsa

Due to several requests here is my chicken fajita
and salsa recipes.

1 1/2 lbs of chicken thigh meat cut into strips
2 yellow onions sliced into strips
2 green peppers sliced into strips

Marinade:1/2 cup olive oil2 tsp liquid smoke
2 TBS apple cider vinegar
1 tsp honey
1/4 water
Juice from 1 lime.
1/4 tsp worcestershire sauce
3 cloves garlic minced (or 3 tsp of bottled minced garlic)
1/2 tsp oregano leaves1 tsp soy sauce
Split the marinade into two zip lock bags.
In one bag putthe onions and peppers with 1/3 of the marinade. In the otherbag put the chicken and 2/3 of the marinade.
Put bags inthe refrigerator and let marinade 4+ hours.

Cook the meat. Grill or cast iron skillet is the best.

Salsa.
2 cans Ro Tel tomatoes
1/2 onion finely chopped
1 tsp bottled minced garlic
Juice of 1 lime
1 tsp salt
1/2 to 1 jalapeno pepper, diced.
4 TBS fresh cilantro chopped.

Place all ingredients into food processor or blender and blenduntil mixed. Place in refrigerator until cool. This allows flavorsto blend.

I like a spicy salsa so do the whole jalapeno, seeds and all. If you like a more mild do about 1/4 jalapeno and no seeds.

I hope you enjoy!

A recent study suggests that ADHD medications are linked to sudden cardiac death. Listen carefully to the end where the good doctor suggests alternatives to these medications.

Though I am not affliated with these clinics I have success in treating these kids with a similar manner. http://www.bbcenters.org/index_files/Page837.htm

Whiplash

I’m seeing a fair number of people right now who have been in car accidents

- so I figure this is an appropriate topic.

I’ve gotten to the point where I don’t like the term whiplash because the word seems to mean different things to different people. So, in all honesty the title should be car accident injuries.Because there are so many groups interested in car accidents (auto makers, insurance companies, lawyers, doctors, researchers, etc.) there is quite a bit known about the injuries suffered by those in car accidents.

If you have been in a car accident you’ll understand some of the things I’ll talk about today from your personal experience. Other things that research has uncovered isn’t widely known or understood. These are the things I want to bring to light for you today.But before we do that let’s go over a two things you should do to protect yourself if you’re ever in a car accident.

Wear your seat belt.

It’s no secret that wearing a seat belt will save your life in a car accident. A seat belt may increase injury to your neck but the alternative is far worse.

Your headrest should reach the middle of your head. Injury to the neck happens because the seat belt locks down the shoulders and hips so at impact the neck is thrown forward and backward. Having the headrest up prevents the head from being thrown backward. If it’s set below the center of your head when the head goes back it will actually go over the top of the headrest and the headrest will actually contribute to greater injury. Research suggests that those with properly positioned head rests will have 40% fewer instances of neck pain than those with poorly placed headrests.

Go to www.iihs.org/ratings/default.aspx to see how your car's headrest compares.

The greatest myth in regards to those involved in car accidents is the idea that car damage equals severity of injury. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY FALSE. In fact, some of the worst injuries occur at 10 mph or less. The reason for this is magnification of acceleration. For example an eight-mile per hour rear end collision of two vehicles of the same mass produces a 2g (gravity) acceleration of the vehicle and a 5g acceleration of the occupants head. In a 15 mile per hour collision, the struck vehicle will accelerate to 10g; and consequently, the head of the occupant would be accelerated to 20-25g. Since g is the acceleration of gravity (32 feet/sec2), one can understand that even low speed accidents can cause significant traumas to the neck.

In comparison an astronaut will experience about 3g’s in the space shuttle at take off.

Suffice it to say that the factors that limit or minimize the damage to the vehicle are the same factors that result in greater damage to the people in the car.

Arthur Croft is a renowned researcher in the field of motor vehicle accidents and he has developed diagnosis and treatment parameters that are the standard for all of us who deal with these conditions. He and his team of researchers discovered that there are primarily four things that determine severity of injury and what kind of outcome you can expect. Those are range of motion, nerve injury, ligament injury and disc injury / broken bone.

It’s important to point out that pain is NOT one of the criteria because pain is personal, private experience. What is pain to you may not be to me and vice versa. I’ve seen loads of people who had significant injury and little pain.

As far as range of motion goes you should be able to touch your ear to your shoulder when bending side to side. When twisting to each side you should be able to go where your chin is parallel with yoru shoulder. Going forward your chin should touch your chest and going backwards you should be able to go where your face is parallel to the ceiling.

If you are unable to do these movements or unable to do them without pain or tightness you may have a car accident injury. Assessing nerve, ligament & disc injury is something that must be done be a professional. If you don’t mind me saying, I’ve got over 150 hours of postgraduate training in the diagnosis and treatment of car accident injuries. So, if you or someone you know has been involved in a car accident I can help. If you have questions or concerns you can contact me via email DrNed@juno.com or you can schedule a complimentary phone consultation and I will personally answer any questions and point you in the right direction based on your situation.

The Nine Unhealthiest Dishes You Can Order

I read this today and had to share. The Nine Unhealthiest Dishes You Can Order
http://www.detnews.com/article/20090603/LIFESTYLE03/906030400/Nine-unhealthiest-dishes-you-can-order

I'm happy to say that I've not had any of these dishes except the ribs at Chili's. They aren't that good anyway.

Fibromyalgia

If you’re one of the millions of people who experience Fibromyalgia . . . you’ll want to make sure you read every word of this article.

If you don't have to live with the pain, fatigue, brain fog and lousy sleep consider yourself lucky. I'll admit that I've never had to live with Fibromyalgia or with a person who lives with it, but I do KNOW how to end your Fibromyalgia pain.

Maybe you’re thinking “how do you KNOW what’s causing my Fibromyalgia, my doctor doesn’t even know what’s causing my Fibromyalgia?”

Well, it’s probably true that your doctor doesn’t know what’s causing your Fibromyalgia. You see, once your doctor has graduated from medical school she will get most of her information from continuing education seminars (sponsored by pharmaceutical companies) and pharmaceutical reps. As a general rule, she relies solely on medicines and medical therapies in the treatment of health problems. Don’t get me wrong I am NOT anti medicine, but medical based therapy just doesn’t get to the cause of Fibromyalgia.

So what is the cause? Well, the thing that makes fibro so difficult is the fact that suffers are often told, “it’s all in your head.” And that’s what I’ve discovered . . . IT IS all in your head. (Just not in the way that that saying implies)

Think of it this way . . . what is the link between the wide-ranging symptoms of fibromyalgia? Or what controls all these different functions? Think of Fibromyalgia as a breakdown of the master control system. THE BRAIN.

So what happens is these 'short circuits' develop (often after an emotional or physical trauma) and the brain impulses develop a new path. And like walking in the snow the more often the new path is followed the easier it is to follow. So it gets easier and easier for the impulses in the brain to follow the pain path. It ends up taking very little for you to have pain and becomes very difficult stop that pain pathway.

Well, this could be the day that your life changes. But it’s all up to you. Your future is in your hands. Gandhi once said “The future depends on what you do today.” If you would like to discover how you could bring an end to that gnawing body pain, those sleepless nights, blinding headaches, and debilitating depression please give my office a call at 801-225-1311 and schedule a complimentary consultation.
