My girlfriend and I went to Port Aransas last weekend for the beach clean up. Several of my patients were there also. The weather was fabulous and there was a Christian Concert in the middle of town all weekend so you could hear live music all day Saturday. Southern Living magazine decorated an idea house and I toured it. Wow, it was amazing and is already sold for 2.7 million. Next weekend is the 45th anniversary mustang club rally. My husband owns a 57 Thunderbird so we attend many car shows. This one sounds like it's going to be great. There is also a chili cook off and a music festival in Port A. also so you can hear great music if you aren't already staying in Austin for the ACL Fest. If you go to Post Aransas, check out the Port Aransas Brewing Company. I don't love beer, but they serve one with an orange slice I actually like. They were written up in Texas Monthly for their hamburgers. We had beer battered shrimp and sweet potato fries which were great. They are located at 429 Alister Street. I always search for chiropractors when I'm out of town. I didn't find one in Port A. but I know Dr. Steve Canion in Corpus Cristi and he's great.
Pecan Street Festival

The Pecan Street Festival is this weekend. We are so lucky to have such great artists in our area. If you haven't been make sure to go. It's a great place to watch people, sample food and listen to music. I have two glass sculptures in my office I purchased there and people always ask me where I got them. I also bought the handmade sandals. They are worth the wait in line. They actually form to your feet and create an orthotic. This is a similar idea to Mephisto brand shoes which are the only sandals I wear. We make custom orthotics in our office. We have custom shoes and sandals that are embedded with your orthotic. I love my tennis shoes and sandals which have the orthotic built in. Many people suffer from plantar fascitis which is inflammation of the fascia that covers the bottom of your foot. We adjust feet and prescribe orthotics. It is difficult to walk for too long when your feet hurt. Boswellia is a natural anti-inflammatory that works better than ibuprofen. I recommend taking that before walking the festival. Take lots of breaks. Some people even carry chairs so they can sit when needed. Enjoy the weekend and check out the great art.
Nutritional Supplements To Ward Off The Flu

There are many great supplements to help keep you well during flu season. A whole lime or lemon a day is the best way to protect your immune system. Two emergenC packets a day in the winter and three in the summer along with at least half your weight in ounces of water is basic maintenance. A good multivitamin such as Catalyn from Standard Process is essential. Immucore will help at the first signs of symptoms. Limit all milk products and increase your fruits and vegetables. Zinc is a natural antibacterial. Agricept is grapefruit extract and is a natural antiviral and antibacterial. A couple of drops in water will kill candida and will protect you from food poisoning and the flu. We do a technique called Contact Reflex Analysis in our office that is simular to Applied Kinesiology. This technique is a method of testing which supplements will work best for you. We do this as an adjunct to adjusting for our patients. We have too many supplements to list. You are welcome to come in and get tested.
