My name is Doctor Martin Zahl D.C.  I grew up in Allendale Michigan with a strong desire to help those around me.   I joined the Marine Corps in hopes of making a difference by standing up for what I knew was right.  While in the Marines I saw many things that I’ll never forget, but what stands out the most was the poor health of so many not just the men I served with but also in the countries where I trained.   I knew I wanted to make a difference so I decided to become a doctor.  I went on to get not only a Chiropractic Doctorate degree but also degrees in physical therapy, massage, and nutrition. I came home to set up a practice in my home town of Allendale because I wanted to help the people that I love most.  As a doctor I can only treat and help so many people.  My goal on this site is to bring you information that has helped my patients and my family.  This is not intended to replace proper care with a “good” Chiropractor, but as an aide to help you take control of your own health, because when it comes down to it as much as I might care about you no one cares about your own health more than you.  You are your own best doctor.

Should you use microwave ovens?

microwave oven1 Should you use microwave ovens?Microwave ovens I believe are very dangerous to the health of you as a human.  Remember I’m not getting any money for saying this.  I’m not winning any prize.  The only satisfaction I’m going to get is if you listen and refrain from doing it, you will hopefully live a fuller more satisfying life. Maybe someday I’ll get a thanks.  I’m going to tell you in this article why I believe so strongly, that they are bad for you. Then I would hope you would take my word for it from the research I present.  Otherwise I hope you would get so mad you would go and research it on your own, just to prove me wrong.  Read More…

  • Be easily distracted, miss details, forget things, and frequently switch from one activity to another (In my opinion you have a typical excited eager child but that’s just my opinion)
  • Read more

ADHD from aVictims’ Point of View.

ADHD – Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder is a developmental disorder. It is primarily characterized by “the co-existence of attentional problems and hyperactivity with each behavior occurring infrequently alone” and symptoms starting before seven years of age. This just means you have a normal child who can’t learn in the public school setting. If you went to 10 different clinicians you would more than likely get 10 different answers.  Read more…
