Thank you for assisting with Sheri's birthday surprise!
She had an amazing day filled with gifts and smiles. It was a blast and so great to hear that so many patients had fun picking out gifts for her!
Sandy Recommends August: Osage County
AUGUST: OSAGE COUNTY is a story of the strong-willed women of the Weston family, whose lives have gone their separate ways until a family c
risis
brings them back to the Oklahoma house they grew up in, and to their
dysfunctional mother (played by Meryl Streep). While humorous at times,
it's a rather dark story with lots of rapid-fire dialogue between the
family members of this dysfunctional clan. Now a movie, it is based on
the Pulitzer prize winning play by Tracy Letts. Meryl Streep once again
shows her incredible talent and her adult daughters, played by Julia
Roberts, Juliette Lewis and Julianne Nicholson complement her talent as
you see their tragic lives play out during this family reunion. Both
Streep and Roberts are nominated for Academy Awards in the Best Actress
and Best Supporting Actress categories, respectively. The film is rated
R due to language. I can't say I left the movie feeling uplifted, but I
enjoyed the story and the talented cast.Sheri Shares her Experience with Colloidal Silver
Colloidal Silver is submicroscopic metallic silver particles in a colloidal base. In 1938 it was commonly used by physicians as a mainstream antibiotic treatment and was considered quite “high-tech”. Today it has been replaced by fast working and financially lucrative drugs. Colloidal Sliver acts as a catalyst that disables the enzyme that one-celled bacteria, viruses, and fungi need for their oxygen metabolism, its chemical lung, so to speak. The pathogen then suffocates and dies without harming human enzymes or parts of the human body chemistry. This results in the destruction of disease-causing organisms in the body.
At the turn of the century, scientists had discovered that the body’s most important fluids are colloidal in nature: suspended ultra-fine particles. For example, blood carries nutrition and
oxygen
to our body cells. Learning this led to studies with colloidal silver,
but production methods were costly and as the pharmaceutical industry
moved in, research was set aside for today’s version of antibiotics.
Once colloidal silver suffocates the pathogen it is cleared out of the
body by the immune, lymphatic and elimination systems. Unlike
pharmaceutical antibiotics, which destroys beneficial enzymes(good
bacteria), colloidal silver leaves those intact since they are different
from single-celled life. Highest grade is produced the
electro-colloidal/non-chemical method where the silver particles and
water have been colloided, or dispersed within and bound to each other
by an electrical current. The super-fine silver particles are suspended
indefinitely in demineralized water. Ideal color is a golden yellow,
darker colors indicate larger silver particles that tend to collect at
the bottom of the container and are not true colloids. If it contains a
stabilizer or lists trace elements other than silver, or needs to be
shaken it is inferior. If it requires refrigeration, some other
ingredient that could spoil are present. Container and dropper should
be glass, as plastic will not preserve the silver in liquid suspension
for any length of time. High concentrations of silver may not be
completely safe, they do not kill germs more effectively than the safe
range of 3 to 5 parts per million(ppm). One teaspoon of 5 ppm equals
about 25 micrograms (mcg) of silver. One to four teaspoons a day is
generally considered to be a “nutritional amount” and is reported to be
safe to use for extended periods of time. Colloidal silver also has not
demonstrated to interact or interfere with other medicines being
taken. Inside the body, silver apparently does not form toxic compounds
or react with anything other than a germ’s oxygen-metabolizing enzyme.
It is difficult to overdose unless large amounts are ingested. People
who use it report it to be both a remedy and prevention for numerous
infections, colds, and flu. The solution can be taken orally and
absorbed into the bloodstream where it is quickly transported to body
cells. In three to four days the silver may accumulate in the tissues
enough for its benefits to begin.I use Colloidal Silver during the flu season months along with my Herbal Resistance Liquid and Sambucus on a daily basis. I rarely get the flu or colds unless I suddenly stop taking it before the season is over! And when I feel that I might be getting a cold or something I up my intake to twice or three times the amounts normally for a few days to help battle whatever is trying to invade my body. I recently started to feel a cold coming on and took larger amounts of all my natural remedies for 2-3 days and am already feeling myself getting well! I love my natural remedies and think they are amazing!
Dr. Krohse Recommends Mid West Velo Swap
Spring is coming and you need an upgraded aluminum, steel, or carbon steed to hit the trails around Central Iowa! Perhaps you have a triathlon bike but now want to focus on road biking. Before using craigslist to find your next new bike, you should start with the facebook group "Mid West Velo Swap". People from around the Mid West post used, good-condition bikes for sale as well as bikes they are looking to buy.
Personally, I can hardly control my excitement to ride this weight-weenie Niner Air 9 I found through Mid West Velo Swap. I bought it on New Year's Day hoping for an early spring... still hoping!

Introducing Team Compass Chiropractic Sponsored Athlete Ellen Ries
Sport: Distance Running
Affiliation: Runablaze Iowa
Other Sponsors: Omega 3 Athlete
Day Job: Registered Dietitian
Making the transition from a middle distance collegiate runner to a 10k/half/marathoner, while trying to balance a full time work schedule, definitely took its toll on my body. Increased mileage, long workouts, and longer work-days spent on my feet or sitting at a desk, coupled with my “increasing age” prompted me to seek out chiropractic care. Dr. Krohse and his staff have gone above and beyond to keep my nagging injuries at bay. I especially appreciate their willingness to make time for treatment on short notice. I originally started seeing Dr. Krohse for a chronic left hamstring/glute issue, which he has helped to manage throughout my training. I admire Dr. Krohse’s ability to listen to me as a patient and then provide the appropriate care and treatment.
I would recommend Dr. Krohse and Compass Chiropractic to anyone looking for specialized care. They can help you reach the next level.

I do when it is warmer out. Here are solutions I find that work for
me. These recipes of cleansing waters not only taste great, but can add
some variety to your water drinking in the warmer months too! I have
not tried them all, but intend to make all of them at one point or
another. So far, I have tried the classical, granite, and antioxidant
waters. If you try any of the recipes or have other options I would
love to hear about them next time you come in to see us or email them to
us!
YMCA
activities defined my youth. I was a YMCA competitive swimmer every
winter from age 6 through 14. Some of my best friends were made through
all those hours spent at the pool at the Cedar Rapids YMCA. Certainly
that pool time also developed lasting character traits like diligence
and perseverance.
My
favorite holiday gifts to give and to receive are photo memories.
There's nothing quite as sweet and personal as receiving a coffee mug
with a photo of your child or grandchild; or a personalized calendar
with 12 different special photos and memories from the previous year; or
a personalized photo mouse pad or keychain or framed photo 
with
the artwork on the frame done by someone special in your life; or a
personalized DVD of family photos, vacations and special times. Or how
about a talking photo frame with voice recordings of your children.
It's a gift that keeps on giving long after the holidays.
Shutterfly.com has many options as do local photo developers such as
Walgreens, Wal-Mart, Hy-Vee, etc.
is
certainly not me! I am the worst at trying to find a gift for someone
unless they have given me the exact name and specific instructions on
what they want. Now I do love to shop, but I just am not good when it
comes to trying to figure out what to buy as a gift for someone on my
own. So because of this, I have relied on good old gift cards. Giving
gift cards is a win/win situation for me. All I have to do is get them
one from a place I know they enjoy shopping at. When my nieces and
nephews were younger, it was easy to get them a gift card from Best Buy,
Abercrombie, etc...I also like to give them to restaurants that people
like to eat at. Of course if it is someone you do not know very well, a
general Target or one to a specific mall is good to do. Sadly, giving
gift cards is not very creative, and I blame my years of retail for
pushing me into this direction. I vaguely remember a time when I might
have been more creative with gift buying. Oh well! Happy Shopping!
The Five Love Languages
by Gary Chapman. When I first saw a friend reading this book I made
fun of him. He told me a girlfriend had told him that he HAD to read
it. Later I asked him to borrow it and am so glad I did. It has
enhanced and helped me understand the most important relationships in my
life. I believe the lessons are so valuable that I require all new
staff to read it. I figure it can only enhance their life overall as
well as their ability to make our patients feel appreciated.
Although
in doing some research on this game, it seems the apps available out
there are slightly different to play than the actual game. It
originated in China and is played by 4 players. It is a game of skill,
strategy, and calculation involving some degree of chance. It is played
with 144 tiles with each player starting the game with thirteen tiles
each. In turns the players draw and discard tiles until they complete a
legal hand using the fourteenth drawn tile to form four groups and a
pair. Now on my Nook app, I simply have to match up like tiles to
eliminate them from the board with the goal being to clear the entire
board of tiles. However, you can only choose a tile when it can slide
left or right or has no adjacent tiles on one side or the other and does
not have a tile above it. Sounds simple enough. But even though every
game starts with a solvable configuration, moves you make can cause it
to be unsolvable. So thinking moves ahead is key to solving the board.
You also cannot go the next level until you solve the board.

My
new favorite restaurant! Those of you who are Thai food fanatics have
probably already discovered this little gem. My friend has been trying
to get me to go with her for months now and we were finally able to get
it done. They have one of the best Pad Thai dishes I have had. We also
ordered some crab rangoons that were fresh and awesome. They have a
great selection of dishes, serve large portions and the prices are
right. Located at 3322 Indianola Ave it could become a weekly stop for
me very easily. My list of dishes I want to try go from the Pho (noodle
soup), especially the spicy Tom Yam to their fried rice, and the
vermicelli. For those who like the vegetarian side, there are some
special dishes for you too. Vegetable Pad Thai and Fried Rice are on my
list to try. Great place to get a good meal. If you have not tried
them, do yourself a favor and check them out. I cannot wait to get the
Pad Thai again later this week.

athletic community in Des Moines with his team.
