 As those of you who have been members now for a while know, I have said for years that "Chiropractic is the treatment of last resort that gets results with things that no one else can." Well here once again is a study published in the Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicine in April that once again demonstrates that Chiropractic care had "more effectiveness for common work related low back pain in comparison to treatments by physicians and physical therapists. The cost for care, disability, and recurrences were all reduced with Chiropractic care when compared to standard medical treatment. Read more here. |

CH. NFurno: How the Drug Companies Make Vaccines
|
My son and his fiancé were asking me yesterday at a family get together what I would recommend to them regarding vaccinations for their children (someday down the road, they have a lot to accomplish before that point). I am often asked this question by expectant parents.

Vaccines - continued
|
I discuss the pros and cons of the issue, and recommend that they do their research. I provide them with references and recommend that they have a sincere discussion with their obstetrician and their potential pediatrician. I also recommend that they check out information from organizations such as the National Vaccine Information Center.
I recently had the video (above) forwarded to me. While it is a comedy spoof from Canada, I think that the responses from some of the individuals that are interviewed particularly regarding the 'contents" of the vaccines is very interesting. Yes, it is true that breakfast cereal manufacturers are required to list the contents of their product for us, but we allow an individual to "inject" a compound of "unknown" ingredients into our body and never question them about the contents. This is pretty unbelievable if you think about it. Enjoy this one!

The critical deficiency that I am referring to is that of Vitamin D! I will be giving a lecture on Vitamin D this month at the Center (sign up here), so I want to give you all a primer on some of the information that I will be covering in the program.
First of all you must all understand that if you are not supplementing with a high quality Vitamin D supplementthen I can almost guarantee that you are without a doubt deficient in this "hormone-like vitamin".
So, what is the big deal with being "a little low" in this vitamin you might ask? Well let's just look at a few things that Vitamin D deficiency can affect. First on the list for all of us is the link being drawn through recent research between Vitamin D deficiency and cancer; particularly breast, prostate, and colon cancers. There is also a great deal of research currently being done on the relationship between a deficiency of Vitamin D and multiple sclerosis, Type I diabetes, and Autism.
Researchers at Harvard Medical School found that the rise in food allergies among American children correlated with a parallel rise in Vitamin D deficiency. Have you ever wondered why there are so many people, but particularly kids, who have food allergies? I have a nephew who can't go near anything that has even touched a peanut. I have another friend whose son can only eat a limited number of foods (and they aren't the greatest foods) because he "has a reaction" to so many foods. What the heck is this all about? After all when we were kids I don't recall ever hearing of anyone who was "allergic to peanuts". And understand that when I say "allergic", these kids go into a full blown "anaphylactic reaction". As a matter of fact many parents carry an "EpiPen" around with them in case the child has a reaction.
So why do we see all of these "food allergy issues" today? Well our Harvard researchers have an idea. They found that a deficiency of Vitamin D during certain "critical" developmental periods in the growth of a child's gastrointestinal system will cause the child's bowel to colonize with "abnormal" bacteria. This in turn throws off the balance of the "intestinal flora", or good vs. bad bacteria in the bowel. This then leads to "abnormal permeability" of the child's intestinal barrier, a condition for years commonly referred to in the Alternative and Complimentary Health field as "Leaky Gut Syndrome". This in turn allows normally "benign food factors" to cross the barrier and cause an immune reaction. This is the reaction that we refer to as a "Food Allergy".
So, as you can see this entire process occurs as a result of a deficiency of Vitamin D. The multitude of current research is indicating that a deficiency in this critical nutrient is adversely affecting our Health and Wellness in so many ways that we are just beginning to understand. The flu has been related to a deficiency of Vitamin D as well. For these reasons it is critical that you have your Vitamin D level tested. It only takes a moment to have this simple blood test performed, and that you begin supplementing with a high quality Vitamin D supplement.
For those of you who wish to learn more about this little known and long overlooked essential nutrient/hormonesign up here for my upcoming seminar.

Have YOU done a Cleanse?
Our Purification Program ("Cleanse") is so much more than a "diet". A diet is something that you have to force yourself to do. Our Cleanse is different; it is a lifestyle change that is easy to maintain, not something you'll force yourself to do, for a while (generally a short period of time), eventually reverting back to what you're comfortable with. So I am suggesting no more diets! Our Silver Inner Health Circle™ members make Belief System Changes by altering their Health and Wellness Paradigm. Please let us help you do this, and sign up for the Cleanse today!
Save $25 if you register by June 21.
