Paul Barattiero, ND Related Seminars and Products

Dr. Paul’s journey in the study of molecular hydrogen started when he and his wife had been married about 10 years. His wife had been suffering from several chronic illnesses that were becoming debilitating and weren’t being helped by traditional medication. It wasn’t until a friend offered them a new kind of filtered water that Paul’s wife started experiencing relief from her symptoms. In fact, the improvement in her health was no less than miraculous. As Paul noticed the significant changes in his wife's health, he asked his friend what was in the water. His friend wasn’t totally sure but thought alkaline was the secret ingredient to his wife’s recovery. But based on Paul’s knowledge of how the body metabolized alkaline, he wasn’t convinced alkaline was the solution. So, Paul decided to do his own research. He read study after study on different types of water and additives, when something caught his eye: dissolved hydrogen (DH). And he would soon find that DH was the solution he had been looking for.

Francis X. Murphy, DC Related Seminars and Products

Dr. Francis Murphy grew up in Madison, New Jersey (Born 12.29.1958).  In 1978 Dr. Murphy moved to Dallas, Texas, where he entered into the family restaurant business.   In 1984, he opened “Murphy’s Deli” in Atlanta, Georgia. It was during his time as a young entrepreneur that his path turned to chiropractic. Dr. Murphy struggled with a personal health issue, which led him to a long list of medical interventions that were ultimately unsuccessful. It was a student attending Life Chiropractic College that finally diagnosed and corrected a rib problem that changed the trajectory of his life.

In 2006 Dr. Murphy made a phenomenal discovery, which changed the lives of thousands of Frozen Shoulder patients by isolating the cause of Frozen Shoulder Syndrome as a neurological disorder. Since his discovery, Dr. Murphy has been researching and developing a complete curriculum on the resolution of the true cause of FSS, dubbed the OTZ Tension Adjustment. He and the OTZ team currently travels around the world teaching other chiropractic doctors the OTZ Tension Adjustment for the treatment of Hatcher Murphy Subluxation, which is a severe malfunction of the biomechanics between the skull and spine. This science and approach to this malfunction has a profound effect on the normal development of children, vagal nerve tone, Bell’s Palsy, FSS, insomnia and a very long list of neurologic disorders. Dr. Murphy has personally resolved over 1000 cases of FSS on video using the technique.

The phenomenon surrounding these discoveries is the topic of discussion for many chiropractors and neurologists. These phenomena are also the target of many proposed and current research initiatives.

Dr. Murphy has recently published a children’s book about conservation concepts for kids called “OUR GREAT EARTH”.  This book is Dr. Murphy’s answer to the question: What message would you like to leave future generations to come?

Dr. David R Seaman, DC Related Seminars and Products

Dr. Seaman provides engaging and entertaining classes about pain/health management in the context of lifestyle factors that prevent patients from achieving their pain-relief and overall health goals.

During chiropractic college, Dr. Seaman became interested in what it was about patients who did not respond to traditional chiropractic care. This led him to investigate pain mechanisms in more detail after graduating from college. He sought guidance from pain researchers at the University of North Carolina and the University of California.

He ultimately published four scientific articles about barriers to effective weight management, pain syndrome classification, diet-induction of inflammation and pain, and pain expression in the context of the pro-inflammatory state created by an elevated body mass index.

These articles have been referenced by researchers from Harvard Medical School and many other universities in the United States, as well as universities in Canada, Brazil, Iran, India, Russia, Japan, Thailand, China, Australia and several European countries. This demonstrates that chiropractors can be accepted by mainstream medicine when a common language is spoken.

Dr. Seaman recently wrote a book for the general public entitled The DeFlame Diet.
