Q & A

Q: Dr. Pfeiffer,
Whenever possible we try to eat wild fish or sushi. When reading the ingredients, however, some have an ingredient of carbon monoxide for preserving the color. what is your opinion of this?
Submitted by:
Charles Ebersole
A: I feel the same way about this as I do about any preservative such as EDTA, BHT, etc. You should do your best to avoid all of the preservatives
that you can. Particularly since the long term effects of these substances
on your health has not been studied and reported.
Yours in Health,
Dr. P.

Vaccines Don't Give You Lifetime Immunity, Or Do They?
That is a question that many families of teenagers are asking themselves today. You see there has been an “outbreak” of the dreaded childhood disease MUMPS in teenagers in New York and New Jersey. The interesting thing about this “outbreak” is that 77% of the kids who ended up with the mumps had been vaccinated for it. That’s right, they had their “recommended childhood vaccines”, and yet they still got this horrible disease. Read entire article.

It's Really an Opportunity!
Many years ago I was a recent college graduate. It was actually 1982, and we were going through some of the toughest economic times in decades. As a matter of fact as I recall, the interest rates at that time were about 21% and inflation was through the roof. We had just been through the “oil embargo” when OPEC had cut production and gas prices were through the roof. I believe that a gallon of gas was up to a whopping $1.29. Oh for the good old days! At any rate I was the lab manager of a microbiology lab in New Jersey. I was working during the day and going to school nights working on my Masters Degree. I had made a decision that I would be going to professional school in the future but there was no urgency. Read entire story.

 Eating Paleolithically Decreases Fatty Deposition
Last month we discussed with our New Years Cleansers the way that their “gene expression" (see Cancer Corner) can be effected by what they eat, how they move, and what they think, as well as how you are able to sleep. Ah, there it is again the mantra of the Center, and what I always preach, you must “Think Right, Eat Right, Move Right, and Sleep Right” in order to support and maintain Health and Wellness. I also discussed how our Cleansers could actually up-regulate (turn specific genes on), or down-regulate (turn specific genes off) by doing the right or wrong things as far as their Think, Eat, Move, and Sleep Right goes.

 How Can "Sewage" Be Considered "Organic Fertilizer"?
This one is almost beyond belief! Could it be possible that we have gotten to the “Soylent Green” point? Remember that 70’s classic with Charlton Heston as a futuristic cop who discovers that our environmentally destroyed world has run out of food and is using “euthanized humans’ bodies” to convert into “Soylent Greens’, a high protein food source for the masses. Well according to the Environmental Working Group we may be edging that way. You see the city of San Francisco, through a company named “Synagro”, is converting “Human/Municipal Waste” into “high quality, nutrient-rich, organic biosolids compost”. Now that is a mouthful, and sounds pretty good. Of course, until you consider that Synagro is being paid by the city of San Francisco to combine their municipal waste with that of other municipalities in California, and market it as a “fertilizer” to be used by farmers and gardeners to use in their fields and gardens.

Parting Thought
Stop Sowing the Seeds of Sorrow
The seeds of what will be are planted in the here and now, a fact of life that guarantees one thing: unless we do the inner work to be aware of ourselves in the present moment... yesterday will be our tomorrow.

Let’s look at the facts. Fact one - when a child gets the mumps early in life as I did and I would venture to guess, many of you did, it runs its course. You end up with enlarged, painful glands in your neck for a few days, along with flu like symptoms, and perhaps some abdominal pain. It is caused by a virus that is spread through coughing, sneezing, or drinking from an infected person’s cup or glass. If a post-pubertal (after puberty) male is infected it can also cause extremely painful and swollen testicles. Unfortunately, some of these adolescents who were infected in these cases (over 1000 confirmed) had an average age from 14 to 18 years and in some areas the average age was 21 years. OUCH!!! These guys are definitely post pubertal. Click here for the story.
So why if the majority of these kids were “vaccinated” did they get this condition? The answer to this one, my Silver Inner Health Circle friends, is simple; the only way that I am aware of to acquire life time immunity to a childhood disease is to acquire it, and allow your immune system to develop antibodies (your body’s natural killers for that particular virus) against that “bug” (virus in this case). The body is now “imprinted” with a “memory” of that particular “Bad Guy”. Now when you encounter that particular “bug” (virus) you will immediately generate an “Army of Killer Cells” specifically designed to destroy that “Invader Virus”. Sort of like the “Terminator”.
O.K. so where do we go with this one? I would say straight to the bank, because this is one of “Dr. P.’s Golden Nuggets”. You see I had mumps, many of you did, my sons did, and we are all still here. We lived to tell about it. The object is to strengthen the immune system to ward off and deal with these invaders!!! How do you do this you might ask? Simple gang, “all together now”; you “Think , Eat, Move, and Sleep Right”. If you have deficiencies you have them identified and dealt with. How? Using “Targeted Functional Nutrition”. Make an appointment for an evaluation now. You have a “childhood disorder such as the mumps as a child, not as an adolescent or an adult when there are more complicating factors and risks. Why do you think that years ago when one child in a neighborhood acquired one of the “kid sicknesses” such as mumps, the other families in the neighborhood would encourage their children to visit the child, so that they would just “get it” and get the whole thing over with. In the process the child would acquire the lifetime immunity that we all want and need. I realize that this is a different way of thinking about the subject than we hear today, but that doesn’t mean that it is the wrong way to think about it. So, think about it gang! Onto Think Right

So let’s consider what is in this “sewage sludge/municipal waste” that is being used as “fertilizer” . Currently “sewage sludge” is banned from use in all “Organic Farming”. This is another good reason to buy U.S. grown organic products. However if you are buying conventional produce and meat these plants and animals may have been raised on or grown on land that is infused with this potentially “toxic” product.
Understand that municipal waste can and does contain such things as “left over household, industrial, hospital, and storm water sewage”. That means that it can contain human toxins such as “drugs, flame retardants, heavy metals, carcinogens, and hazardous chemicals.”
I know that this seems almost unbelievable to most of you, but this is happening, and we may be reaping the “rewards” in some of that wonderful conventionally- grown California produce in the grocery store coolers which will look very appealing to many of you. This is one more reason to “buy locally grown produce”.
If you would like to do something about this and not sit idly by and complain and moan about it like Jim Carrey, you can “Make Your Voice Heard!” Here is a link, thanks to the Organic Consumers Association, which will allow you to tell San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom exactly what you think about this terrible practice that his city government has adopted.
Yours in Health,
Dr. P.

After all, my new wife and I had very good jobs and our living expenses were relatively low, so all was good and comfy, or so we thought. In fact times were tough, and I didn’t realize it but I was a few short days away from losing my job. I will never forget that day. It was, what I thought at that time, was the most devastating day of my life. A day similar I am sure, to those which have been experienced by many recently and one which was experienced by another individual which I will share with you in a moment. You see I didn’t realize it at the time, but this was the most wonderful thing that could have happened to me. It forced my hand. You see I could have gotten stuck in that job for the rest of my life and never have moved to Davenport, Iowa to pursue my professional career as a Doctor of Chiropractic. That would have meant that I wouldn’t have been writing this for you right now. But that was not to be the case. So my lovely young bride and I shoved all of our worldly possessions into a U-Haul truck, after my application had been accepted at Palmer College of Chiropractic, and we were off on an adventure. We moved to a region of the country where things were worse than where we were coming from, Yes, believe it or not the unemployment rate in “the Quad-Cities” where we were to live was 23%. But we survived and in fact thrived. We actually came home from Iowa with a brand new bouncing baby boy in tow.
So why did I feel compelled to share that personal story with you? Because, as I reviewed with our New Years Cleansers in their last session, “You must never refer to things that come up in life as PROBLEMS, simply because they just are not.” I will ask our Silver Inner Health Circle members from this point forward to refer to these issues as “CHALLENGES”. Challenges are just speed bumps in the road. They can be overcome with thought, conversation, negotiation, council, and time. Always remember this!
Now for my story of another’s experience to help you re-boot your perspective on this one. The story goes like this: “One day a young vicar at St. Peter’s Church in London discovered that a janitor was illiterate and fired him.
Jobless, the man invested his meager savings in a tiny tobacco shop, where he prospered, bought another, expanded and ended up with a chain of tobacco stores worth several million dollars.
One day the man’s banker said, you’ve done well for an illiterate, but where would you be if you could read and write?
Well, replied the man, I’d be janitor of St. Peter’s Church in Neville Square.”
Always remember to look at these types of course changes in your life as “OPPORTUNITIES”, and erase the “P for Problems” word from your vocabulary!

Well here is another research article that validates Dr. “P’s” philosophy. It was published January 21st in the journal Nutrition and Metabolism. In this study pigs were fed High Protein diets. Our Cleansers learned how to eat good quality “range fed” meats, and wild caught fish along with high fiber raw vegetables and fruits. What these researchers found was that by feeding these experimental pigs this way they could actually turn off the “lipogenic” (fat generating) genes in these pigs, and also turn on the “lipolytic” (fat reducing) genes. In other words these researchers were able to show in this study that by “Eating Right”, the way we profess here at the Center, and the way we teach everyone in our “Full System Detox Cleanse Class” you can in fact up-regulate (turn on) the “good genes” and down-regulate (turn off ) the “bad genes”. Yes Silver Inner Health Circle Members “This stuff really does work.” Keep it up and you will see the benefits, and reap the rewards of a “Longer Healthier Life”. Onto the next article
