June 2009

Dear Kim,

     Today was truly the most beautiful day that we have had all spring. Yes, that may have had something to do with the terrific weather, however the fact that our youngest son Eric graduated from High School today may have had something to do with it too. He will be heading off to College in the fall and we will be "Empty Nesters".
 
     I was reminded more so today than any other day that we must never forget to count our Blessings for every minute that we are Graced with, and to remember what it's really all about: Family, Friends, Loved Ones, and Humanity. We need to look at it with fresh eyes every day!
 
      Here is something I read in my monthly edition of "Good Stuff" written by Rachel Carson:
 

SPRING

 
     Those who contemplate the beauty of the earth find reserves of strength that will endure as long as life lasts.
     There is symbolic as well as actual beauty in the migration of the birds, the ebb and flow of the tides, the folded bud ready for the spring.
      There is something infinitely healing in the repeated refrains of nature, the assurance that dawn comes after night, and spring after the winter.

     I wish for all of you in our Inner Health Circle™ to be willing and able to be open to the possibilities of each experience of every moment of today, tomorrow, and eternity.
 

Yours in Health,
Dr. Pfeiffer

Gretchen's Email:

     This is a verbatim copy of an e-mail that I received from a patient of ours at the Center for Nutrition and Wellness™. When Gretchen began her journey towards health and wellness with us I called her the "tootsie pop girl" because she ate at least one if not more tootsie pops every day. That was then; she no longer eats such "non-food" items.
      I applaud Gretchen in her gradual and progressive belief system change regarding what truly is food, and what is product (synthetic/chemical non-food items). She has come a long way, as this e-mail note from her will exemplify. Congratulations Gretchen, and Keep Up the Great Work!

Dr. P.,
     "You're gonna love this one. I was down at the church this AM working on my SS" (Sunday School) "crafts for tomorrow. We keep a treat box in the SS cabinet. I thought - I'll just have one of those jelly filled Tasty Kakes" (for those of you from outside of the Philadelphia area Tasty Kakes are manufactured cup cakes) "while I'm working. So I opened the cellophane (a good source of harmful xeno-estrogens) package, took a bite of tasty kake, and all I could taste was "chemicals". I was amazed and I threw the rest in the trash. I couldn't wait for some water to get the taste out of my mouth! Awesome, huh?"

Gretchen

       Yes Gretchen, it is, and you are, too! Keep up the Great Work!
      If my "tootsie pop girl" can do it you can to. Just one step at a time and you will be there.

CANCER CORNER

Prostate Cancer Risk Cut By Omega-3's

     A number of years ago I wrote an article for my weekly "Health Notes" newspaper article about the benefits of Omega 3 fatty acids in the battle against prostate cancer. Now a new research article has been published in the journal Clinical Cancer Research. These researchers found that "increased intake of long chain omega 3 fatty acids is strongly associated with decreased risk of aggressive prostate cancer". The study showed a 63% reduced risk of aggressive prostate cancer in the men who consumed the highest amount of long chain omega 3 fatty acids compared to men with the lowest intake of long chain omega 3 fatty acids.
     Alright, I hear the genetics gang out there, the ones who buy into the new medical rationale (scam) that this disorder (or to them "disease") is "genetic".  Read full story

Once Again Chiropractic Adjustments Found to be BEST

     How many of you in my "Inner Health Circle" are not Chiropractic Patients yet? Shame on you; if you ever expect to fulfill the Third Leg of our Health and Wellness Paradigm then you will never accomplish this goal without what I have referred to for 25 years as proper "spinal hygiene". Study after study has shown definitively that gentle, effective Chiropractic Spinal Adjustments are crucial for proper health. So let's just talk about lower back pain for those of you who still relate Chiropractic to the lower back only (we will expand on this later). Here is the latest study which was done by the "super reputable" Consumer Reports Health Rating Center. They released the survey results of more than 14,000 Americans and what they found in this massive survey is that 59% of those surveyed stated they were "Highly Satisfied" with the care that they received from their Doctor of Chiropractic (D.C.).

THE LADY BEHIND THE SCENES

Please meet our newsletter editor

It has been nearly one year since Kim Fallon joined our team and, as you know, the newsletter has made several transformations, and so has she. Kim recently decided to put her 20+ years of exercise and fitness experience to the test, literally, and she successfully completed the Personal Fitness Trainer Certification through the Aerobics and Fitness Association of America (AFAA). Kim has decided to start her own business with the philosophy that regular exercise is a main component in feeling better, having more energy and perhaps even living longer. She wants to work one on one with clients who are just getting started and those who want to change their current programs. We will keep you updated on her business venture, meanwhile you can email Kim for more information. Could a personal trainer help you? Top
