Fortunately, Dr. 
Stern eased my anxiety that despite our environment, my active lifestyle assists 
in cleansing the unwanted chemicals away and my cells aren't any more toxic than 
those that have an excess of fat surrounding theirs. Nonetheless, there are 
approximately 82,000 harmful chemicals in which cells see fat as a means to 
offer insulation. That's an awful lot of work for the liver no matter how active 
you are. 
In response, Dr. 
Stern provides an Isagenixc cleansing program (www.SternChiropractic.Isagenix.com). 
Not the same sort of bathroom intensive situation created the day before a 
colonoscopy, he says, it releases toxicity of the cells through the skin and the 
healthy byproduct is weight loss. 
And it's not 
accompanied by the typical up and down of other weight loss programs. Cutting 
back on food causes the body to sense starvation and a rebound effect occurs 
once you go back to your normal intake, he says. 
As part of the 9 and 30-Day 
Cleanse, the Isagenix Shake is designed to fill in any protein gaps. Women, on 
average, lose 5-7 pounds a week and men seven to nine, but achieving wellness 
requires attention to physical and emotional traumas of the past and present as 
well.  At Stern Chiropractic & Integrative Wellness, they focus on the three 
causes of sickness and dis-ease.  The chemical toxicity that pollutes our 
bodies, the mental/emotional stress that exhausts our adrenal glands and the 
physical traumas that  interfere with our nervous system's ability to function 
properly.
Physically, traumas over time 
morph into subluxations.  Meaning the connection between the 
effected part of the spinal cord has a diminished capacity to communicate with 
the body (nervous system interference). 
Equipped to handle the 
adjustments as a chiropractor, he classifies himself as a wellness practitioner 
because the emotiona/mental and chemical traumas that cause our bodies to become 
toxic and sick are also addressed.  This also got my 
attention.
I have insomnia but by virtue 
of two anti depressants and the right dose of psychoanalytical brain drain, I 
sleep fine.  On the other hand, I’d like to leave the drugs behind 
in case my HMO decides someday that my brain is not part of my body – like my 
teeth, my feet and my eyes. 
“It’s a classic adrenal 
problem,” he says, and emotional stress is its genesis. As a result, he informed 
me, that my nervous system is not regulating properly and I cannot reset at the 
end of the day. 
Of course, he concedes the 
important role behavioral therapy plays, but malfunction of the mind isn’t the 
only area in which a painful past is trapped. Emotional traumas are also stored 
in the body and working out subluxations is where chiropractic can play a key 
role in restoring health and vitality.  “I help release the pain on 
a physical level,” he says.
At this point, Dr. Stern went 
Star Trek on me and took out his tricorder. Running a sensor across my spine, he 
identified several significant subluxations and the areas of my spine that are 
operating asymmetrically. 
If I choose to move forward, a 
$200 fee will cover a full body analysis and two Chiropractic 
Adjustments.  From the results and the ensuing information 
gathered, he’ll map out a recommended action plan to transform my nervous 
system.   As for the total cost, he wants those considerations to 
be put aside by planning a schedule that meets each person’s ability to pay. 
In the end, he says for me, “You’ll 
experience a quiet in your mind and body like you’ve never experienced 
before.”
