Ingredients:
Hearty Garlic Greens
Hearty autumn greens include
Swiss chard, Tuscan kale, and
mustard greens, but any
combination o f autumn greens
will work just as well. Blanch
ing does not actually cook the
greens but softens their texture,
while shocking them in cold
water keeps their color strong
and vibrant. Prep time, 10
minutes; total time, 30 minutes;
yields 8 servings.

Part 23. Chiropractic And Knees: Knees neet to know how Chiropractic helps too.
Dr. Billy R. Flowers
M y rig h t knee hurts te r
ribly all of the time. It has been
len several times to the point of
needing to be drained. Can Chiropractic
help?
A : Y our case sounds fa m il
iar. It reminds me of one case in
particular. A man once came to my
office for consultation. He wanted to
show me his knee but his slacks were
so tight from swelling in his knee that
he could not pull his pant leg up to show
me. I talked to him about his knee and
showed him graphs of the nervous sys
tem and how it affects the knee. He de
cided to become a Chiropractic patient
and has had no problem with his knee
since. Within days the swelling was out
of his knee. Like so many patients, he had
an added bonus. His back was stronger
and healthier than it had been in years.
His headaches disappeared. In short, he
got that healthy happy feeling of Chiro
practic. If you have knee pain or if you
have any question concerning your
health at all, call us today, Isn’t it time
you stepped up to Chiropractic?
