Patient of the Month
Mel O'Neil: Real
Estate Broker
Mel came to the office with right hip pain that was bothering
him for about two weeks. He was having hip pain with walking any
distance and especially with going up and down a lot of stairs.
Mel is 80 years young, and I mean young! He reminds me of my
uncle Harry who is 85 and has several rental properties that
keep him busy every day. I really hope I can be as fit as Mel
and my uncle Harry when I reach 80. Mel works as a real estate
broker and needs to be able to walk often to show homes and
attend open house events. I am happy to report that after one
visit to our office, Mel reported that he felt much better right
after the first treatment.
Chiropractic and children
Case studies and clinical reports and countless parents report
what we see in our office every day
that children under chiropractic care stay healthy and get
healthy without dangerous drugs.
There are many ways that infants,
babies and children get subluxations: the birth process, falls,
accidentally being dropped (it happens more than you think) and
even sleeping in bad positions can put severe stress on the
body, interfering with nerve, brain, organ and tissue health and
resistance to disease.
Many children with physical
disorders, learning disorders and emotional problems need a
chiropractic spinal checkup. It can make all the difference in
the world to them. And its drug-free.
Exercise and Vitamin C
Vitamin C helps you burn more fat when you exercise. People who
took 500 mg of C daily burned 39% more fat while exercising
compared to those who took less. (1)
Beware of the new cervical
cancer vaccine (Gardasil)
From the article: Around 60% of those who got Gardasil or the
aluminum placebo suffered side effects such as headache, fever,
nausea, dizziness, vomiting, diarrhea, myalgia. Gardasil
recipients had more serious adverse events such as
gastroenteritis, appendicitis, pelvic inflammatory disease,
asthma, bronchospasm and arthritis. See paper at http://www.whale.to/vaccines/lobato.html
Avoid soy infant formula
Babies fed soy-based formula have 13,000 to 22,000 times more
estrogen compounds in their blood than babies fed milk-based
formula. Infants exclusively fed soy formula receive the
estrogenic equivalent (based on body weight) of at least five
birth control pills per day. Girls are showing signs of puberty as
early as age 5 or 6. Premature development of girls has been
linked to the use of soy formula and exposure to environmental
estrogen-mimickers such as PCBs and DDE. Source: The Weston A.
Price Foundation for Wise Traditions in Food, Farming and the
Healing Arts. www.westonaprice.org
Another benefit to
breastfeeding
In addition to the many benefits of breastfeeding (healthier
immune system, better weight, emotional stability), new research
shows breastfeeding helps babies handle stress better. The study
found that children who are weaned naturally were less affected by
anxiety as they grew older than children who had formula milk.
This dovetails with other research indicating breastfed babies
have healthier brains and nerves. http://www.whatistheword.com/story/Lifestyle_929.html

Breast cancer deaths drop
why?
A recent study found that the most common form of breast cancer
dropped by 15% between August 2002 and December 2003. The reason?
Researchers believe it is because millions of women stopped
hormone replacement therapy. (3)
Heart disease +
antidepressants = increased death rate
In a surprising finding, patients with coronary artery disease who
take commonly used antidepressant drugs may be at significantly
higher risk of death. Duke University Medical Center researchers
have found that SSRI use was associated with increased risk for
heart patients. (4)
Words of wisdom
(Grandparents)
Grandmother a wonderful mother with lots of practice.

old.
Mary H. Waldrip
You do not really understand something unless you can explain
it to your grandmother.`- Proverb
An hour with your grandchildren can make you feel young again.
Anything longer than that, and you start to age quickly. Gene
Perret
The best baby-sitters, of course, are the baby's grandparents.
You feel completely comfortable entrusting your baby to them for
long periods, which is why most grandparents flee to Florida.
Dave Barry
Nobody can do for little children what grandparents do.
Grandparents sort of sprinkle stardust over the lives of little
children. Alex Haley
One of the most powerful handclasps is that of a new grandbaby
around the finger of a grandfather. Joy Hargrove
It's amazing how grandparents seem so young once you become
one. Author unknown
If your baby is "beautiful and perfect, never cries or
fusses, sleeps on schedule and burps on demand, an angel all the
time," you're the grandma. Teresa Bloomingdale
Grandparents are similar to a piece of string handy to
have around and easily wrapped around the fingers of their
grandchildren. Author unknown
Chiropractic and Spinal
Research
Remember, everyone, no matter what condition they may have, needs
chiropractic care to ensure their body is working without
subluxations. If you have any specific questions please feel free
to contact us.
Psychology and chiropractic. Chiropractic almost
doubled the recovery rate at an addiction treatment clinic.
"Jose Mehlman enrolled in the Exodus addiction treatment
center as a study participant, he had hit bottom. He had tried
many treatments but they were 'nowhere near effective' as
chiropractic. Today, Mehlman is living a viable, drug-free life.
'I think that chiropractic care was an integral part of my
recovery,' he says. (5) Read more at http://www.psychologytoday.com/rss/pto-20060714-000001.html
Learning disabilities, dyslexia and chiropractic.
In a review of papers on the effect of chiropractic on learning
disabilities and dyslexia (eight studies and 25 anecdotal
reports), researchers found that all of the studies reviewed
suggested a positive effect of chiropractic on individuals
suffering from learning disabilities and dyslexia. (6)
Humor
After she woke up, a woman told her husband, "I just dreamed
that you gave me a pearl necklace for Valentine's Day. What do you
think it means?"
"You'll know tonight." he said.
That evening, the man came home with a small package and gave it
to his wife. Delighted, she opened it to find a book entitled
"The meaning of dreams."
NEW ELEMENT
DISCOVERED!!
A major research institution recently
announced the discovery of the heaviest element yet known to
science. This new element has been tentatively named "Administratium."
Administratium has one neutron, 12 assistant neutrons, 75 deputy
neutrons and 111 assistant deputy neutrons, giving it an atomic
mass of 312. These 312 particles are held together by a force
called morons, which are surrounded by vast quantities of
lepton-like particles called peons.
Since Administratium has no electrons, it is inert. However, it
can be detected as it impedes every reaction with which it comes
into contact. A minute amount of Administratium causes one
reaction to take over four days to complete when it would
normally take less than a second.
Administratium has a normal half-life of three years; it does
not decay but instead undergoes a reorganization, in which a
portion of the assistant neutrons and deputy neutrons and
assistant deputy neutrons exchange places.
In fact, Administratium's mass actually increases over time,
since each reorganization causes some morons to become neutrons,
forming isodopes.
This moron-promoting characteristic has lead some scientists to
speculate that Administratium is formed whenever morons reach a
certain quantity in concentration.
This hypothetical quantity is referred to as "Critical
Morass." You'll know it when you see it...
Bye. See you next month.
Dont forget to stop by for a chiropractic checkup and bring
in the family too!
