The article went on to explain that flavenoids found in chocolate may, in fact, help fight heart disease. As a dedicated “chocoholic,” I was elated! Unfortunately, the article continued, “Its impact on your waistline appears unchanged.” Needless to say, chocolate did not answer all my health-related concerns! Nor am I alone in my quest to find better ways to eat and stay healthy. Another recent headline on the CBS02 website at www.channel2000.com, reads, “Baby Boomers are Battling the Bulge.” An aging Baby Boomer generation, 76 million strong and the largest segment of the American population, struggles with “supersizing” and the effects of a sedentary lifestyle as it constantly searches for ways to maintain youth and health. According to the “New Millennium Chiropractor: A Trend Forecast for the Chiropractic Profession,” the Baby Boomer generation is currently “previewing” the health problems encountered by their parents, who may not have been diligent in maintaining their health, and determining to take a different course. A healthy diet is increasingly recognized as a key component of a healthy lifestyle, and members of the boomer generation, along with many other Americans, search in vain for knowledgeable, reliable sources of nutritional information. Reliable sources are few and far between, according to Gerald Celente, also of the Trends Research Institute and author of the book Trends 2000. There is clearly an absence of structured, personalized approaches to nutritional advice. Such advice must be individualized to fit the person. Many of the conventional sources of information on nutrition do not effectively relay the crucial facts. Medical doctors, while knowledgeable in numerous other areas, usually are not particularly well educated in nutritional topics. As a result, many tend to rely on the latest appetite-reducing drugs rather than educate patients about proper nutritional and weight-loss techniques. Some educational organizations fall prey to special interest groups and wind up promoting information that is incorrect or misleading. Often, commercial weight-loss programs take a limited, “one size fits all” view of nutrition – employing a staff skilled in promoting particular programs at hand, though ignorant of general nutritional concepts. The media, while a valuable source of information, does not prepare such information for useful public adoption. Though the nutritional field offers a variety of professionals with varying degrees of education and training, the average consumer cannot distinguish whom to call for specific needs. Where is the knowledgeable professional with specific expertise in the area of nutrition that the average person can turn to for personalized, structured nutritional assistance? According to Celente and “The New Millennium Chiropractor,” chiropractic may be the profession to fill this need. Chiropractors, with their holistic approach to health care, examine a variety of factors that affect patients’ states of health, and address problems rather than symptoms, focusing on overall wellness, preventive measures and long-term health status. Nutritional counseling fits well within such an approach. In fact, chiropractors receive more education in nutrition than the average medical doctor. A review of medical school curricula revealed that many do not include a separate course in nutrition, while a common requirement for chiropractic schools is 60 or more credit hours. Chiropractors also address musculo-skeletal conditions that are caused or exacerbated by excess weight, making nutritional and weight-loss counseling an integral part of many treatment plans. A trend post in “The New Millennium Chiropractor” reads, “By integrating ongoing personalized weight management programs into their practices, chiropractors will substantially increase their incomes while measurably improving the effectiveness of their treatment.” 52

Nine students enrolled in prerequisite science courses in Organic Chemistry I & Physics I. The courses are offered in a seven-week intensive format and allow students to complete their science prerequisites and smoothly transition into the Doctor of Chiropractic program. Jeremy Lee, a student in the program, commented that “the major advantage of this program is that the students are given the opportunity to become a part of the campus community before starting in the DC program. I’ve had the chance to talk with students and faculty and they’ve given me invaluable advice. I’m really happy that I made the decision to enroll on the accelerated program.” The second session of courses, which include Organic Chemistry II and Physics II, is scheduled to start on October 29 th , where an additional six students will be joining the program.
