I was given the great pleasure of receiving the book Ageing Well by Dr. George Cromack so I could inform my readers if this was worth your time to pick up and read. I must say, it was a surprise. It's an easy read and can be picked up and put down without interruptions. With small chapters and easy to understand explanations, this is a great vacation/summer read. Throw it in your carry-on and your good to go. Dr. Cromack also took the time for an interview to talk with you all direct.
Angie: Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to talk with my readers today. You reference in your book you have been practicing chiropractic care for over 25 years. What prompted you to add author to your list of credentials?
Dr. Cromack: I noticed that many patients kept asking the same questions over and over. Over time I realized it was impossible for me to communicate in a clinical setting one on one; the volumes of material necessary to have people reach their health goals. I became painfully aware that the clinical skills I provided in practice were just one part of the larger picture necessary for people to experience optimum well-being. The challenge became how to organize the information I knew worked and was needed in an easy to read distilled version that would drop a lot of the theory and philosophy and get down to the nuts and bolts, of why people needed to know about a particular subject, how it worked, how to do it, and further resources.
Angie: Why start the book out with the first chapter being on pillows? Was there a method to how the book is laid out?
Dr. Cromack: I picked a few of the simpler tools that would have a large impact on a wide audience. Often times changing over to a proper orthopedically designed memory foam pillow can make a substantial difference in reducing neck tension. It costs about 85 dollars for a good quality pillow, and this will last you 4-5 years. I have seen numerous people state that changing to the correct pillow alone reduced their neck pain by 25-50 percent.
Angie: In the chapter on inversion slings, you recommend this for “almost everyone.” I was diagnosed with scoliosis about a year ago and am doing everything in my power and the power of prayer and healing to reverse this back problem. I was told through chiropractic that hanging is not a good idea for me. Do you agree or disagree and why?
Dr. Cromack: I think you would have to say that you were told thru your chiropractor not thru chiropractic, as I don’t agree with this. Traditionally traction is thought to be beneficial for scoliosis. You would want to hang from both your hands on a chin up bar and upside down from an inversion sling. I have scoliosis and find these both to give me a lot of relief. Patients I have seen with scoliosis also report relief from traction. Traction opens up the disc spaces as well as the intervertebral foramina so that there is increased nutrient exchange as well as more room to breath in terms of circulation to the spinal nerve roots, arteries, and veins.
Angie: You spend quite a large amount of the book talking about diet. I totally agree that this affects all aspects of our health. Besides the E3Live, what is another fruit, vegetable or supplement that you believe we can not live without?
Dr. Cromack: I come to people from the view point of abundance and not deprivation. When I start with patients or clients, I don’t talk about what not to eat initially. I get them started on e3live, first thing in the morning on an empty stomach with fruit or a smoothy. We encourage them to work up in a progressive increase of dosage. The E3Live has the effect of stabilizing blood sugar levels and filling in many missing nutritional bullets. In my opinion it is the most nutrient dense food on the planet. As peoples blood sugar levels balance, their cravings for junk food decrease. People lose weight, have an energy increase, detox, and get increased clarity. As a result they gain confidence in your suggestions, and in themselves. This leaves them more receptive and inspired to make other changes. After the person has good results using the E3Live for about a month and has great results, I recommend that they start adding a tablespoon a day of Pure Synergy powder. There are numerous green drink powders on the market now. Pure Synergy is the best of the best. There are over 64 ingredients in Pure Synergy, including 8 kinds of Algaes, 4 kinds of seaweeds, Chinese supertonic herbs, 7 kinds of sprouts, enzymes, and numerous vegetables and western herbs. Each ingredient is organically grown and prepared in a way where it is still enzymatically alive. The kirlian photography of each ingredient in the Pure Synergy shows a large bioluminescent aura around it, indicating high life force. Pure Synergy fills in many of the missing nutrients and minerals that are lacking in the general population.
Angie: Where do you recommend someone go to buy E3Live if they were to give this a try?
Dr. Cromack: I recommend that people buy E3Live from my website www.AgeingWellGuide.com because I have the cheapest price in the country and I offer personal support and coaching to my customers. I send my customers the chapter out of my book Ageing Well: A Guide to Rejuvenation and Longevity, regarding dosage progressions with E3Live. Your readers can receive a discount on their orders of 5 bottles by plugging in the coupon code surfdoc5 at checkout. I pay the fed ex air ship on my end.
Angie: In your chapter on exercise you emphasize how essential it can be to include in our daily routines. Of course I agree or I would not be here today the author of Your Happy Hearts.com. I believe that exercise and eating properly will make your heart happy and promote a longer life. Can you share with my readers what you personally do to add exercise to your healthy lifestyle.
Dr. Cromack: My personal routine includes waking up and doing 30 rounds of yogic breathing with breath retention and magnets, magnetic chi gong, headstand, yoga asanas, followed by one hour of intense strength training 3 days a week. The other 3 days I do kenpo karate, additional yoga, and swimming, as well as plyometrics.
Angie: I love your small chapter on magnets. I am looking into trying that out for myself. I have only ever seen someone wear it to improve their golf game, but not to improve ones health. Do you recommend one style of magnetic therapy over another, and/or a source to purchase such items as you suggested in your book?
Dr. George: You want to use the heavier duty magnets, 3,500 to 12.500 gauss. I purchase my magnets from Peter Ragnar at www.RoaringLionpublishing. The easiest most practical way to integrate magnetic therapy is with a magnetic mattress pad. There are also heavy duty earth magnets that can be used under the feet during working at the computer, or while doing breathing exercises. I also use 3,500 gauss magnets around my wrists and over my pineal gland while doing yoga, breathing exercises, and chi gong. I have been monitoring the chi flowing thru my acupuncture meridians before and after using the magnets and have seen a substantial increase in energy after using them
Peter is one of my mentors and my book is dedicated to him as well as several of my other mentors. Peter is in his late 70s and can bend steal horseshoes with his bear hands as well as leg press 2100 lbs. and bench 450 lbs. multiple times at a body weight of 185. Peter recently did 2000 dips in a row. Jack La Lane was able to do 1000 in his prime.
Angie: For those readers not familiar with your book, why do you recommend they read it over some other health books on the shelves today?
Dr. Cromack: Ageing Well A Guide to Rejuvenation and Longevity exposes the reader to an eclectic approach to health without having to read thousands of books that spend chapter after chapter on theory. My book gets to the heart of the matter quickly, by distilling the material down to how it works and how to do it. It all comes down to organizing the material, knowing from experience what works and provides substantial results, and weeding out the fluff. There are over 50 home run chapters in the book. If your readers just pick 4-5 things in the book that interest them and work on them for 90 days there life will be immeasurably improved. After that I suggest that the pick one to two new areas in the book every 3 months and work on them for 90 days.
Angie: Thank you so much Dr. Cromack for taking the time to speak with my readers.
