Summer is here!  Get lots of sun, exercise, good food, rest, relaxation and excitement. Life is meant to be enjoyed.

Many ordinary illnesses are nothing but the expression of a serious dissatisfaction with life. - Paul Tournier, MD

Chiropractic and energy

"Doctor, I feel so tired all the time."

Lack of energy is one of the most common complaints patients have. Doctors hear it all the time. While a medical doctor might recommend prescription "uppers" or stimulants, most people self-medicate.

Every morning an ocean of coffee and sodas are swallowed by a population needing their morning "fix." Donuts, sugar-filled "snacks" and other junk food give a high that's followed by a mid-morning crash which is followed by another sugar and caffeine high ... and while riding this roller-coaster the person's overall health deteriorates.

What causes energy depletion?

One of the most common causes of energy loss is an unbalanced body structure. It saps your energy. How?

Let's imagine that you carried a bowling ball at your side for a few minutes. "No problem," you may say. But now move that bowling ball a few inches from your body and try it. "Whew, this is getting heavy," you'd say. That's because it takes lots more energy to hold it away from you.

Tension in your body from imbalance can also affect blood and cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) flow to your brain and other internal organs.

Whew! Doesn't that sound exhausting?

What can chiropractic do?

Your chiropractor is specially trained to locate areas of imbalance in your body that are causing unnatural pressure on your skeletal structure and nervous system. This imbalance can drain your energy and cause weakened resistance to disease, ill health, premature aging and chronic fatigue.
Chiropractic care can improve your quality of life, giving you more energy and physical and mental health. (1-4)
Why wait? Fatigue or exhaustion may be just the first sign of subluxation deterioration that can affect your vertebrae, discs, muscles, joints and internal organs.
If you know anyone who is tired all the time, living on coffee, sugar and other stimulants, please suggest chiropractic care.

Each year millions of people enjoy the most popular natural, drug-free health care system in the world - chiropractic!

Everyone from the very young to the very old can benefit from safe and gentle chiropractic care.

Why live with health problems when you can live without them? Discover chiropractic - discover how natural healing can be.

Gardasil dangers
starting to emerge

Gardasil, the so-called cervical cancer vaccine, is intended to prevent 4 types of HPV (Human Papillomavirus). According to the Gardasil package insert, there are more than 100 types of HPV!

"Post-market surveillance" is what is revealed after a product is on the market and you learn its effect on the general population. In one school 26 girls were sickened and five hospitalized after receiving Gardasil. (5) But that's only the tip of the iceberg.

At least 1,637 Gardasil reactions have been reported to the FDA including at least three deaths, spontaneous abortion and paralysis. Since only 1 in 10 vaccine injuries are usually reported to the FDA, this data may reflect only a fraction of the true number.

"The FDA adverse event reports on the HPV vaccine read like a catalog of horrors," says Tom Fitton, Judicial Watch president. It looks as if an unproven vaccine with dangerous side effects is being pushed...."

One reaction reports a coronary artery thrombosis and sudden cardiac death. "Collapsed and died...large blood clots [in heart]." Another woman died of a blood clot 8 hours after getting Gardasil. (6-7)

Simply because a product has FDA approval doesn't mean it is safe or effective. The only type of immunity that has a proven safety record is natural immunity - the kind proper nutrition and chiropractic care can promote.

My friend sent this to me and encouraged me to post it and spread the word. I agree. If everyone can remember something this simple, we could save some folks. Seriously Please read:

STROKE IDENTIFICATION:

During a BBQ, a friend stumbled and took a little fall - she assured everyone that she was fine (they offered to call paramedics) and just tripped over a brick because of her new shoes. They got her cleaned up and got her a new plate of food - while she appeared a bit shaken up, Ingrid went about enjoying herself the rest of the evening. Ingrid's husband called later telling everyone that his wife had been taken to the hospital - (at 6:00pm , Ingrid passed away.) She had suffered a stroke at the BBQ. Had they known how to identify the signs of a stroke, perhaps Ingrid would be with us today. Some don't die. They end up in a helpless, hopeless condition instead.

It only takes a minute to read this...

A neurologist says that if he can get to a stroke victim within 3 hours he can totally reverse the effects of a stroke...totally. He said the trick was getting a stroke recognized, diagnosed, and then getting the patient medically cared for within 3 hours, which is tough.

RECOGNIZING A STROKE

Thank God for the sense to remember the "3" steps, STR . Read and Learn!

Sometimes symptoms of a stroke are difficult to identify. Unfortunately, the lack of awareness spells disaster. The stroke victim may suffer severe brain damage when people nearby fail to recognize the symptoms of a stroke.

Now doctors say a bystander can recognize a stroke by asking three simple questions:

S * Ask the individual to SMILE.

T * Ask the person to TALK to SPEAK A SIMPLE SENTENCE(Coherently) (i.e. It is sunny out today)

R * Ask him or her to RAISE BOTH ARMS.

NOTE: Another 'sign' of a stroke is this: Ask the person to 'stick' out their tongue. If the tongue is 'crooked', if it goes to one side or the other that is also an indication of a stroke. If he or she has trouble with ANY ONE of these tasks, call 911 immediately !! and describe the symptoms to the dispatcher.

A cardiologist says if everyone who gets this e-mail sends it to 10 people; you can bet that at least one life will be saved.

Useless, Researchers Discover

The epidural is a steroid injection into the spinal column. For the past 50 years it was standard medical practice for sciatic (radiating leg pain) and back pain. New research finds it virtually useless. The American Academy of Neurology's Therapeutics and Technology Assessment Subcommittee reviewed four studies on epidural steroid injections for back pain with sciatica. For the 300 patients in the studies there was no pain relief or improved movement after 24 hours, nor again at three-, six- and 12-month intervals. The only improvement was between two and six weeks, and relief was no better than that from painkillers. Patients who got the epidurals had neither less surgery nor less long-term pain than people using other procedures. (6)

Traditionally cancer was viewed as a deficiency disease. Can improved nutrition improve your chances of preventing cancer and improve your chances of surviving it? The Weston Price Foundation advises:

Once a rare disease, cancer is now widespread, affecting as much as one-third of the population.

The rise in cancer in the West has paralleled the rise in factory farming and the use of processed foods containing vegetable oils and additives.

Orthodox methods for treating cancer (radiation and chemotherapy) do not prolong life. The best approach to cancer is prevention.
Traditional diets, containing animal and plant foods farmed by nontoxic methods, are rich in factors that protect against cancer. Many of these protective factors are in the animal fats. Vegetarianism does not protect against cancer. In fact, vegetarians are particularly prone to cancers of the nervous system and reproductive organs.

A woman came home, screeching her car into the driveway, and ran into the house. She slammed the door and shouted at the top of her lungs, "Honey, pack your bags. I won the lottery!" The husband said, "Oh my God! What should I pack, beach stuff or mountain stuff?" "Doesn't matter," she said. "Just get out."

Aging: Eventually you will reach a point when you stop lying about your age and start bragging about it.

The older we get, the fewer things seem worth waiting in line for.

Some people try to turn back their odometers. Not me, I want people to know "why" I look this way. I've traveled a long way and some of the roads weren't paved.

When you are dissatisfied and would like to go back to youth, think of Algebra.

Long ago when men cursed and beat the ground with sticks, it was called witchcraft. Today, it's called golf.

An older gentleman was on the operating table awaiting surgery and he insisted that his son, a renowned surgeon, perform the operation.
As he was about to get the anesthesia he asked to speak to his son.
"Yes, Dad, what is it?"

"Don't be nervous, son; do your best and just remember, if it doesn't go well, if something happens to me, your mother is going to come and live with you and your wife..."

Two old guys are pushing their carts around Wal-Mart when they collide. The first old guy says to the second guy, "Sorry about that. I'm looking for my wife, and I guess I wasn't paying attention to where I was going."

The second old guy says, "That's OK, It's a coincidence. I'm looking for my wife, too. I can't find her and I'm getting a little desperate."
The first old guy says, "Well, maybe I can help you find her. What does she look like?"

The second old guy says: "Well, she is 27-years-old, tall, with red hair, blue eyes, long legs, and is wearing short shorts. What does you wife look like?"
To which the first old guy says, "Doesn't matter, let's look for yours."
