One of the
most often questions I get is what supplements do I personally take and why.
So, I figured what better place to talk about it than on our eNewsletter. Here
goes:
1) DSF- I end up taking about 2-3 of
these a day. It is full of vitamins, herbs, & glandulars that help support our Adrenal System. Many of you
have heard me talk about how important the Adrenal Glands are but studies show
that up to %70 of Americans have blown or tired Adrenals. Adrenal fatigue is
part of the reason that people are so tired, stressed, sick and beat up!
2) Complete Omega-3-Essentials- (approx
2 a day). Do I really have to say why I take this? I will say that the reason I
take this Omega 3 supplement over any other one is b/c not only does it have
EPA/DHA in it (that is what’s usually in fish oil supps) but it has ALA (which
is the important Omega 3 from Flax), and GLA which is also another important
Omega. It also has Vit. E in it to help prevent the omega’s from breaking down.
So it’s like taking three or four
supplements in one!
3) Complete Omega-3-Cofactors-(2 per
day). This is full of B vitamins and Antioxidants to help aid in the absorption
of the Complete Omega 3 Essentials. A lot of people don’t realize that they
need antioxidants to help the Omega’s but it is vitally important. Omega’s are
very unstable and they need they’re double bonds protected. Antioxidants do a
tremendous job of this. I am looking into a few other antioxidant supplements,
but for now this is the one I take. I’ll keep you all posted.
4) Total Greens, Total Protect, Total
Veggie- (approx 2 per day). These are three different supplements that are
pretty close in what they do. They are chock full of greens/veggies. Veggies
are important in alkalizing our systems. When our systems are more alkaline
that acidic we have lower chances of
getting sick, cancer, etc…
5) Total Probiotics & Total
Enzymes- (1 per day of each). Enzymes and beneficial bacteria (Acidophilus,
Bifidus, etc…) are extremely deficient
in our society today. We used to get these from all types sources (milk,
meat, yogurt, etc…) but in today’s world of pasteurization and other processes,
these things are killed off. Also the overuse of antibiotics in the meet and
dairy industry is very hard on our bodies. Many people may not know that half
of the sales of antibiotics are for livestock. They don’t use them on livestock
b/c they’re sick, they use them b/c the antibiotics fatten up the animals. More
fat = more weight, more weight = more money.
I hope that
helps all you that were wondering. I take a few other things periodically that
show up through muscle testing but this is the core of my intake. Just as
important as these supplements is daily exercise and an organic diet!!! I
cannot emphasize that enough.
As you can
see this stuff can get pretty pricey so that’s why we started the membership
program. Along with the membership we also have programs that have these
supplements in it and you can save an additional percentage depending on what
program you choose.
What the old FDA
commish up to?
Well I’m glad you asked. Read this report to find out.
I’ll give you a hint though, he pleaded guilty.
We see magic
everyday
As chiropractors we see the magic and mystery of life
every day. In the eyes of the child whose life was changed by an adjustment, in
the face of an elderly person who, perhaps for the first time in their lives,
had their energies unblocked as their subluxations were corrected.
The true
mystery of life is that within us billions of cells are being born, are living
and dying every second; we are a stage to life’s magic with every breath we
take. We are connected to a wisdom that is far more vast and knowing than any
we can conceive of and it is flowing within us every second we are alive.
Special Flu Shot
Report
"Here
come the fear mongers...just in time for the flu vaccine marketing season….
Fear is used to persuade Americans to roll up their sleeves and hand over their
children to be vaccinated. Years ago, people developed resistance the old
fashioned way: By getting the flu. And then when that type of flu came around
again years or decades later, they either didn't get sick or had only a mild
case. The vaccine marketeers want to take that away from our population. What
will that make us? Vaccine dependent, of course." – Barbara
Loe Fisher, co-founder
of the National Vaccine Information Center
Three important reasons to avoid the
flu shot:
- The flu shot contains
formaldehyde, gelatin and traces of chicken cells.
- The flu shot contains viral
contaminants that have been linked to cancer.
- You can get the flu shot – and
all the risks that go with it – and still get the flu!

Another good reason to avoid the shot: to avoid Alzheimer’s Disease
According
to Hugh Fudenberg, MD, the world's leading immunogeneticist and 13th most
quoted biologist of our time (over 850 papers in peer reviewed journals), if an
individual has five consecutive flu shots their chance of getting Alzheimer's
is ten times higher! (1)
How does the flu shot cause Alzheimer’s? Dr.
Fudenberg states the mercury and aluminum in flu shots (and many childhood
shots as well as some RhoGam shots) cross the blood-brain barrier causing brain
damage. Alzheimer's is expected to quadruple. Are flu shots the reason? (2)
Flu hysteria is on the
way (again)
Reports
claim that “Influenza kills 30,000 to 40,000 Americans every year.” (3) That is
simply not the case. According to the Centers for Disease Control, the number
of people who die of the flu are a fraction of that. Here is what the CDC
says:
In 2002: 753 died of the flu (4)
In 2001: 267 died of the flu (5)
In 2000: 2,175 died of the flu (6)
In 1999: 1,685 died of the flu (7)
Those
who die of the flu are mostly frail, sickly, weak, malnourished and unhealthy
to begin with. For people in reasonably good health, dying from the flu is, in
fact, very rare – research even shows the flu shot does not affect mortality of
elderly people. In conclusion – the flu shot is dangerous and useless.
Flu shot does not save
lives
The
ads say “The flu shot saves lives,” but research reveals it’s not so. The flu vaccine isn’t preventing death in
the elderly, the “high risk group” that is told to get a flu shot to reduce mortality,
according to a study in the Archives of
Internal Medicine. (8)
Although
immunization rates in those over 65 have increased 50% in the past 20 years,
there has been no decline in flu-related deaths. In addition to
ineffectiveness, the flu shot’s typical ingredients include aluminum
(associated with Alzheimer’s and seizures), mercury (linked to brain damage,
ADHD and autism) and phenol (a carcinogen).
In
fact, mortality rates for those over 85 between 1968 and 2001 showed no change
as well. The authors add: “Studies substantially overestimate vaccination
benefit”; a diplomatic way of saying it’s useless.
If you get the flu avoid
aspirin and Tylenol™
Researchers
found that flu sufferers who took aspirin or acetaminophen (Tylenol) stayed
sick an average of 3.5 days longer
than people who did not take the drugs.
The
researchers discuss the purpose of a fever and note how confused the medical
profession is when it comes to fever. “In spite of centuries of clinical
experience and recent intense investigation, it is still not clear whether
fever is noxious per se, or if the benefits of antipyretic therapy outweigh its
costs.” (9)
Natural
healthcare providers have always understood the value of fever in fighting
infection and cleansing the body of toxins. This was recently underlined in a
paper showing the following:
The flu protects against cancer
In a research study appearing in The Journal of Cancer Research and Clinical Oncology, scientists discovered that those with a history of colds and flu also
had less breast, colon, rectal, stomach and ovarian cancer.
The
association between…infectious diseases and cancer risk was investigated.
[Those with] carcinomas of the stomach, colon, rectum, breast, and ovary…were
interviewed. A history of common colds or gastro-enteric influenza prior to
the interview was found to be associated with a decreased cancer risk. (10)
In another study, subjects who reported a history of colds, flu and other
infectious diseases had a 30% reduction in risk of brain tumor. (11)
Natural healthcare providers have traditionally warned against
suppressing the symptoms of colds and flu stressing that’s how your body heals,
detoxifies and cleanses – which are protective against cancer.

FluBlok flu shot has caterpillar ovaries as one of its ingredients. Don’t

Long-term consequences of flu shots
– immune system damage?
Researchers have discovered that repeated vaccination
at a young age substantially increases the risk of influenza at older ages.
This is possibly due to overall weakening of the immune system. However,
getting the infection naturally appears to strengthen the immune system and
decreases the risk of being re-infected. Natural appears to be better. (13)
Note: The authors did not even look for Alzheimer’s increases due to flu shots,
a subject increasingly under discussion.
Good news – majority not getting flu
shot. Common sense is still alive!
In a
National Foundation for Infectious Diseases survey conducted Aug. 31-Sept. 3,
over half of those interviewed said they would not get the flu shot. Among
reasons cited: 43% said the flu is not serious enough to warrant vaccination
and 23% said they still got the flu even after being immunized. (14)
In conclusion
Rather than see the flu, colds, fevers and nasal discharge solely as
uncomfortable, we should know that they operate in our best interest: to heal
us, to cleanse us and to detoxify us. Preventing symptoms from expressing
themselves may set us up for more serious disease in the future. That doesn’t
mean we should ignore a sick person. Illness is a time of rest and
recuperation. Ill people need comfort, proper nutrition and support.
Many people who wish to avoid medical suppressive therapies such as
aspirin, Tylenol, antihistamines, decongestants and other drugs designed to
prevent symptoms instead turn to nutrition, chiropractic, homeopathy,
naturopathy, acupuncture and many other natural “expressive” healthcare systems
so their bodies will get the full benefit from their symptoms – cleansing,
healing and improved health.
Avoid High Fructose
Corn Syrup like the Plague
A study in
the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition (American Journal of Clinical
Nutrition, Vol. 79, No. 4, 537-543, April 2004) recently questioned the use of High Fructose Corn Syrup
(HFCS). It showed correlations to the obesity problem in
Another interesting note is that Fructose is used in the making of Splenda! That’s right they use Fructose or Sucrose in the making of splenda. What’s the big deal? Well, these two things are sugar and they affect your insulin levels. So, when you think your not getting any calories from splenda, you actually are. How do they get by with this? They lower the serving size so that the small portion being measured does not have a calorie but in larger doses (like in pop) there actually is.
Sweetened coffee can
make you fat
A 20-ounce
Starbucks Caffè Mocha with whipped cream has 490 calories, equivalent to a
McDonald's Quarter Pounder with cheese. A 24-ounce Starbucks Java Chip
Frappuccino with whipped cream is equivalent in calories to a standard cup of
coffee plus 11 of their creamers and 29 packets of sugar. (15)
Did you know?
Your nerves send messages at speeds up to 224 miles per hour! Nerves are the
longest cells in your body, up to 4 feet long! They carry messages to keep your
muscular, circulatory, excretory, hormonal, digestive, respiratory (breathing)
and other body systems functioning at their best so you can function at your
best with lots of energy, enthusiasm, joy, strength, inspiration and high
resistance to disease. This marvelous communications system can be damaged by
subluxations, a deep stress within you that can irritate your nerves, discs,
muscles, joints and can weaken your body.
Chiropractors
are specially trained to locate and remove subluxations, permitting you to
function with more energy and improving your body’s ability to function more
perfectly.
Want to make sure your messages are
getting to where they should go so you are functioning at your best? Come in
for a checkup and adjustment.
Humor
59 and pregnant?
A woman went to the doctor's office,
where she was seen by a young, new doctor. After about 4 minutes in the
examination room, the doctor told her she was pregnant. She burst out screaming
as she ran down the hall.
An older doctor stopped her and asked what the problem was, and she told him
her story. After listening, he had her sit down and relax in another room.
The doctor marched down the hallway to where the first doctor was and demanded,
"What's the matter with you? Mrs. Terry is 59 years old, she has four
grown children and seven grandchildren, and you told her she was
pregnant?"
The new doctor continued to write on his clipboard and without looking up said,
"Does she still have the hiccups?"
See you next month. Perhaps you’d like us to include
other e-mail addresses. Call us or stop by the office. Please remember that
everyone needs to be free from subluxations so bring your friends and loved
ones for a spinal checkup.
