Who knows better?
Over $30 billion in over 30 years has been thrown
at a "War on Cancer." So far it looks like cancer has won.
(1) Similarly, all the money spent on an AIDS cure has not
resulted in a single life saved (medically). (2) Why, you
ask; because a little knowledge is a dangerous thing. For
example, we think we can artificially "improve" the immune
system so we "tinker" with it using vaccines. The result is
an epidemic of autism, ADD/ADHD, dyslexia, allergies, Alzheimer's,
cancer, asthma, ear infections, vision problems and many other
conditions. (3)
|

|
| |
|
In the same way, we think we can artificially make someone
healthy by pumping synthetic drugs into them. We think the
body is making a mistake when it creates symptoms and we try
to suppress the symptoms rather than correct the cause (i.e.
build up natural resistance, remove subluxations and other
interferences).
But...there is another way: Respect the
body and observe what it is doing in sickness and health.
This is known as Empirical healthcare.

The body can tell us how to be
healthy. Why do so many people not get cancer? Why do so many
people not get AIDS - even if they have the risk factors?
Why do so many people not get the flu? What makes people recover
from horrible diseases while others succumb and die? This
is what needs to be studied: health!
Chiropractic is based on Empirical health philosophy. Simply
stated: rather than invade the body with artificial drugs
and procedures, we try to learn what it wants to do and support
it; we respect the body's symptoms. |
For example, if the body creates a fever we don't suppress
it with drugs, but rather permit the body to disinfect, cleanse
and heal - and the body will be healthier and stronger as
a result.
|
|
|
|
|
| |
 |
Relying on drugs makes us weaker. For example, studies show
that antibiotics for ear infections lead to more ear infections.
Also, consider that children who have more infectious diseases
of childhood have lower cancer risk and less heart attacks
as adults. (4-5)
Chiropractors, homeopaths, naturopaths,
acupuncturists and other natural healers respect your body's
wisdom by working with it to discover what is blocking healing.
Chiropractors locate and correct subluxations, often painless
distortions in your body that can weaken your resistance to
disease and interfere with your physical and mental health.
Remember, no matter how deep and complex science explores,
our bodies seem to mirror every revelation. Let us respect
the body's wisdom by working with it and the holistic nature
upon which is was created and is sustained.

Exercising with injuries:
sports, pre and post surgery
Injury-proof your exercise routine: whether
you are recovering from an injury, are about to undergo
surgery, or train in a specific sport, the approach to smart
exercising requires a balanced, methodical approach to both
prevent injury and rehabilitate all muscles. The needs of
all of your muscle groups need to be addressed to maintain
and rebuild your body for maximal results.

Chiropractic
and Ear Infections
This appeared on the
Feb 13, 2007 CBS 11 News:
"Next to the common cold, ear infections are the most
commonly diagnosed childhood illness in the United States...
For years, parents have depended on antibiotics...but now
doctors are warning about the overuse of antibiotics... Now
some parents are taking their kids to see chiropractors. |
|

Susan Lekborg
says her son Cooper suffered from chronic ear infections. "We
were up all night, he was miserable, cranky...on antibiotics
all winter and it just wasn't helping. It would go away and
come back, go away and come back," she said.
She went to a chiropractor. "I'll be honest, I was a little
skeptical, nervous about a chiropractor adjusting my baby,"
she said.
But after only one treatment he started feeling better. Susan
Lekborg says it's worked for her children. "This will be
their third winter, no antibiotics, no Tylenol, no Motrin. They're
clean. I just feel like they're healthier," she said. (8)

Splenda
is not Splendid
Eating sucralose - brand name Splenda™ - is like ingesting
tiny amounts of chlorinated pesticides. (13)
As with NutraSweet™, no human safety studies have been
done. Researchers who studied the drug claimed it was safe
yet there have been thousands of consumer complaints. Unfortunately,
the FDA doesn't seem to care.
|
Chlorocarbons such as Splenda are known to cause organ, genetic
and reproductive damage. Splenda has been shown to affect the
thymus, liver and kidneys. It can also cause fertility issues
in male rats and gastrointestinal problems in pregnant rats.

Fluoride
linked to bone cancer, lower IQs and osteoporosis
In March 2006, a panel of dentists, toxicologists and epidemiologists
assembled by the National Research Council (NRC) found that
children who consume water containing the highest level of
fluoride permitted by the EPA might actually be damaging their
teeth; there was even a hint that it might depress IQ. What's
more, the panel stated that consuming water with that amount
of fluoride over a lifetime could weaken bones and increase
the risk of fractures. And just 2 weeks after the NRC report
made headlines, a Harvard study suggested that fluoridated
water could cause a rare form of bone cancer in young boys.
"Fluoridation should be abandoned," says dentist
Hardy Limeback, PhD, DDS, head of preventive dentistry at
the University of Toronto and a member of the panel that wrote
the NRC's fluoride report. "It could turn out to be one
of the top 10 mistakes of the 21st century." Is
it still being added to your water? (12)

What's the definition of a will? (It's a dead giveaway.)
Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana.
In democracy your vote counts. In feudalism your count votes.

With her marriage, she got a new name and a dress.

Cholesterol Myths
"The idea that too much animal fat and high cholesterol
is dangerous to your heart and vessels is nothing but a myth...
Cholesterol is not a deadly poison but a substance vital to the
cells of all mammals. There are no such things as good or bad cholesterol;
but mental stress, physical activity and change of body weight may
influence the level of blood cholesterol. High cholesterol is not
dangerous by itself, but may reflect an unhealthy condition, or
it may be totally innocent." (6)
Do not take cholesterol-lowering drugs - they
contribute to heart failure. Avoid processed food, especially foods
containing processed vegetable oils (i.e. canola and corn oils)
and trans fats.... Take cod liver oil and consume plenty of
butter from grass-fed cows to ensure adequate levels of vitamins
A and D. (7)
Antibiotics not
needed for ear and eye infections, say researchers
Two recent studies show that two common conditions
that were thought to definitely need antibiotics - middle
ear infections and conjunctivitis (pink eye) in kids - don't
really need them at all. The studies conclude that without antibiotics,
children get better anyway. (9)
While we're on the subject...
"Some 80% of ear infections go away on their
own. Worse, the drugs can contribute to antibiotic resistance and
cause mild side effects like diarrhea or nausea. Help prevent infections
in the first place by breastfeeding, limiting pacifier use and avoiding
exposure to secondhand smoke. (10)
PS. How about adjusting them?
Words of Wisdom
The thousand mysteries around us would not trouble
but interest us, if only we had cheerful, healthy hearts. -
Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche
Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet.
Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be
strengthened, ambition inspired, and success achieved. -
Helen Keller
Breastfeeding healthier
for mother and child
Breastfeeding is known to boost an infant's health
- and is good for the mother too. In a study in New Scientist
of 96,648 nurses who gave birth between 1986 and 2002, those who
had spent at least two years breastfeeding were 19% less likely
to suffer a heart attack than those who had not breastfed at all.
Nursing a newborn may help a mother's metabolism switch from pregnancy
mode back to normal. (11)
Always find
time to relax!
Pregnancy and chiropractic
If there's one group of individuals who need
chiropractic more than any other it's mothers-to-be.
As a woman's hormones change, her ligaments
become looser and her body structure can become distorted. Chiropractic
has been a blessing for countless pregnant women for over a century.
Pregnant? Get a chiropractic checkup;
it'll help you and your new baby and help ensure an easier
delivery.
