Refined Carbs Cause Alzheimer’s Too?

I'm typically very skeptical -- really -- of cure alls. Chiropractic is a good example.

It can take a week or more to work back right, and it's very painful every step of the way. Just trying to raise my head off the bed can be excruciating, and I end up having to roll out.
