Unfortunately, your kidneys can often be the very last thing a western doctor will think of.

Pink eye occurs when bacteria are infecting the eye. It’s not uncommon for pink eye to flair up for kids in the first few weeks after going back to school. Why is that? There are many factors to consider...
Statistics show that most ear “infections” aren’t “infections” at all. Instead most are simply ear inflammations. Antibiotics will only clear the inflammation, but antibiotics won’t solve the core problem behind the ear infection.
First, mince fresh garlic into a glass container (old dropper bottles always work well). Fill the container ¾ full of garlic. Next, add just enough olive oil to fully cover the garlic in the bottle.

We kicked off something new on our Kid’s Zone blog called Read This Book. Here’s what’s happening: we’ve asked a long-time friend of Hope Clinic, Sally Kimmes to highlight a few extraordinary, fun and imaginative children’s books each month for our Hope Clinic kids.
Mike was going through life constantly fatigued. Even after a good night of sleep, he'd wake up tired. He didn't want to live his life that way.
In Minnesota, parents still have the right to decide whether or not to vaccinate their kids before sending them off to school. Parenting is full of complicated health decisions. Hope Clinic is here as a resource to help support you and every member of your family.
Amy and Guy are long time Hope Clinic patients who are kind enough to share their story of how Dr. Brad and the other specialists at Hope Clinic have affected the health and well-being of their whole family.
Hear first-hand Rob's story. From wondering if he needs a new hip to help with weight loss, and migraine relief.
A middle-aged man came into the clinic complaining of shoulder pain, overwhelming stress, allergies, sinus drainage, snoring, waking up numerous times through the night, and constant fatigue.
On his first visit, Dr. Brad found that he had a restricted airway most likely causing sleep apnea and decreased melatonin production. The patient also had slight hypothyroidism, an enlarged prostate, and spinal misalignments contributing to his shoulder pain.
“The results of the treatment have been positive. It worked.”
The solution was chiropractic adjustments for his lower neck and mid-back in order to increase nerve flow to his throat, thyroid, and shoulder. Specific nutritional supplementation was used to increase prostate, thyroid, and pineal gland production. Specific nutritional supplementation was also used to balance his brain chemistry and help him deal with stress. Specific acupuncture and Chinese herbs were used to decrease inflammation in his throat and open up his sinuses.
After two months of care, this patient has “no bothersome allergic reactions” and is now able to sleep through the night without a CPAP machine. He now has energy to exercise and feels that he can deal with the stressors in his life.
After having two kids, Mindi's seemingly random health issues only seemed to get worse. She wasn't satisfied with the answers she was getting from traditional medicine.
Bees, wasps, yellow jackets and hornets, oh my! These little stinging critters play important roles in nature. But sometimes these little insects get spooked and feel like they need to protect themselves. Then suddenly, ouch! You got stung. That’s no fun at all! Dr. Brad wants your body to start feeling better right away.
If you can’t remember the last time you woke up feeling well rested and ready for day, then chances are your body’s energy systems need some extra support.
“I gave up running for one year because of knee problems. I was afraid my joints couldn’t take it and that I was causing long term damage. But Dr. Brad was optimistic that it was do-able for me to run.
His treatment was so simple and now I’m running again. My knees are dramatically improved and there are indications that the ligaments around my knees are realigning for better support!
I heartily recommend Dr. Brad. He cares and can improve what otherwise might seem hopeless. He believes running when appropriately supported is possible throughout life.”

“I had irregular periods for 15 years, problems conceiving, and pain in my hips for five years when I ran.
After Dr. Brad’s care, I get regular periods and have less pain running. Dr. Brad has always taken time to answer my questions. I absolutely recommend him… I already have.”

When she first began experiencing extreme menopausal symtoms, Becky sought help from the medical community. Doctors told her that the 30 to 40 hot flashes she was having each day were quite "normal" and they encouraged her to take some drugs to quiet the symtoms. But Becky wasn't satisfied.
