It's that time of year again. Be prepared to hear the push for your annual FLU Vaccine. This particular Blog isn't about really whether you agree with them or not. This is strictly about choice.
I am concerned as a parent as well as a professional in healthcare that there are so many attempts lately to DISCOURAGE freedom of choice. California is/ has proposed vaccinating children as young as 12 with ALL current and future vaccinations WITHOUT NOTIFYING PARENTS. That's right, it would be legal for school officials to forcefully vaccinate your children AGAINST THE CHILDS WILL and WITHOUT INFORMING THE PARENTS. There will be no choice in this matter, as well as no culpability for ANYONE INVOLVED if there are any reactions!
Again, This isn't even about whether to do or not to do, however with such a heated topic of varying opinions, in this great country, shouldn't this along with many other decisions be just that............an informed decision. You see, more folks are "choosing" to not have these procedures performed, not merely not having them done out of apathy.
What is the condition of our social structure when I can be thrown in jail for not succumbing to something I choose not to do. Something that has no ill-effect on any other human being in a hurtful or deleterious manner by my personal decision and action? That as a parent, they won't even have to place you in jail for the night for your decision, but rather take that option away from you altogether. The government of California is quelling the opposition by stating "they" are footing the bill, and not the parents. Well, how do you think that is happening. They take your child, force a medical procedure on them that you may not agree with, nor have any responsibility financially for if something goes wrong ( that will be the parents responsibility), and the local government will pay for it alright...................with your tax dollars! Problem is that there are too many to profit handsomely from this type of arrangement. They can sell their product, have everyone forced to use, and have complete immunity from any potential lawsuits from use of that product. What other industry could brag of such a racket and monopoly?
The point is that this IS REALLY HAPPENING as this blog is being written. I would encourage everyone to educate themselves, and make their own choices...............and unfortunately now have to stand up and fight just to keep that choice alive.
Please take part in arming yourself with knowledge and freedom that make this country great.
A couple good starting resources are:
www.nvic.org (Public Awaress and legal group)
www.mercola.com ( Dr Mercola, DO)
www.drtenpenny.com (Dr Tenpenny, DO)
http://www.whale.to/vaccine/quotes20.html ( Dr Robert Mendelsohn, MD -Pediatrician)
**************these are MEDICAL and legal resources, because unfortunately although you as a patient may not know it, many of your healthcare providers don't agree with these procedures either. They don't have them done to themselves or their children, however their "contracts" with various hospitals state that they will at least "endorse" these procedures to the public and perform them as a part of their employment obligation!!
Very true, you may be surprised if you ask around a bit over a "comfortable" setting than in their offices.
This BLOG was written in the spirit of keeping our FREEDOM OF CHOICE ALIVE!!!!!!!!!!!

Ear Infections
With the onset of Spring, there are pollens in the air. With that, every health care practitioners office is filled with allergy sufferers................but have we thought about the Pediatric patient? We also tend to see a surgence in EAR INFECTIONS at this time as well.
I am reminded by this while having a conversation with by daughters Principal about her own child's ear infections. She asked about Chiro Care and Ear infections. As far as symptomatic care goes, often times ear infections represent some of the largest case load of a Chiropractor, but not many people are aware of that.
She was pleased to realize that ear infections are often treated by Chiropractors usually very easily and quickly. Moreover I explained that while I do often initially gently "adjust" a child in their upper cervical (neck) as required, that I often help the child most by actually "teaching" the parents techniques for aiding to relieve the causal factors in ear infections.
Usually 1 or 2 adjustments and the "ear infection" is gone, not miraculously, but rather by the child's own natural healing ability and making that possible through a gentle adjustment.
The parents are always taught helpful home remedies such as:
How to gently mobilize the external ear
How to gently help lymphatic drainage
Temporarily ( at least) removing aggrivating factors such as cow milk, wheat, potentially
gluten or other "sensitive" foods until the infection clears up.
Homeopathic use as appropriate., etc.
**Although we are familiar with Antibiotic Prescriptions for ear infections, they are actually very seldom necessary with the right action taken, even the AAPP recognizes this and says the same. When appropriate, yes we refer for this as any good Doctor will do for their patient, but agian, this is the smallest minority if a child is taken care of correctly and wholistically.

New Office Space
Well................so now we are marginally into the new space! We can function, but a lot of finish work to get done for sure. Remarkably the address has not changed.....wierd we know, however we were able to change things with the city so as to not change everything simply because of a "suite number change." Plus..........can anyone guess how difficult it is to change anything with insurance companies or MEDICARE????? So, we are greatful and the place has a great feel, as well as many of you have said you really like this new space we have created. Thank you. We are always looking for better ways to serve our patients, and feel that this new space will allow us to do that. We look forward to everyone stopping by and taking a look. We are considering a "new office" grand-opening sometime before the end of the year........give us your thoughts. Make it a great day as always!

September is "Chiropractic Awareness Month"
September is Chiropractic Awareness Month! September is an important date to all Chiropractors as this month in 1895 is when the "birth" of Chiropractic was.
The first "Chiropractic" adjustment was given to a man in Davenport, IA by the name of Harvey Lillard who was the janitor of a Doctor named DD Palmer. Mr Lillard was deaf, well mostly, and upon examinination, Dr Palmer found no physiological problem with his ears, however found his spine to have been "misaligned" just inbetween the shoulder area. Upon using his reasoning to "adjust" this misaligned area, Dr Palmer used his hands to help guide the vertebra back into place..........and move it did. After a couple times of doing this, Mr Lillard noted that he was able to hear again slowly. The ironic part was that people actually started coming from all over the world to Davenport, IA to see Dr Palmer hoping he had found a cure for hearing loss. This was in fact not the case. Dr Palmer did find however, that many ailments within the body can often be related to spinal issues if there is one. Does this mean that ALL problems come from the spine and need adjusting...........certainly not, however there are many that do and unfortunately do not get attended to....................hence, September is Chiropractic "Awareness" month.
Modern science has been able to reason why that particular adjustment helped Mr Lillard to regain hearing as that region of the spine where he was badly misaligned (Subluxated) has much control over nervous messaging and blood flow back up into the head and hearing apparatus.....................shut down the blood and nerve flow into your arm and watch it die, remove that obstruction to the normal flow of blood and nerve, and watch it regain life just as with his ears or any other body part affected this way. For interested persons there is much research on Chiropractic, by many MD's such as Drs Windsor, DeNagy, Pero, Suh, and more that relate the imortance of Chiropractic Adjustive treatments for many conditions.
It really is that simple and that is why Chiropractic cures nothing! We only restore the integrity of the spine and nervous system so that all those messages flow more like they are supposed to. Doing that is how it works, as the body is always completely capable of healing itself. You restore that ability and then health restores on its own. The body cures...................there is no cure in Medicine or Chiropractic alike. A pound of medicine or 100 adjustments will never cure any body that is not "able" to essentially do the work on its own..........................Medicine and Chiropractic alike can only help to find the best means by which to "aid" the body in self-correction. The "cure" is within, always has been and always will be!
So........this month we are honoring the body's natural ability to heal through Chiropractic Awareness. ALL CONSULTATIONS will be at no charge in September. We do this so that patients "know and understand" their options for health. Chiropractic and Medicine are both great tools (that in my personal opinion should do a much better job of working together for patients), but like any tool, is made for a specific job. There is no tool to handle all problems, so come by and get your FREE consultation to see if Chiropractic is the right "tool" for you.

Car Accidents - Some Things To Consider
Just had another Car Accident Patient come in the door. Unfortunate to see people just after an accident more worried about costs than anything else. Of course, your HEALTH is what comes FIRST! So yes, you should always get checked out! I don't mean by the Hospital necessarily, however auto accidents slower than 10 MPH..................yes 10MPH have been documented to elicite some damage to the body, which makes sense once you even consier how much a car weighs vs. your body and then also consider if that 2,000 + pound vehicle was moved even (1) foot of distance.
Here are some quick tips and things to consider for car accidents:
(not necessarily placed in any particular order of importance)
1. Always trade information with the other driver
2.I recommend always calling a local officer on scene
3. take pictures..........most phones have picture capability these days
4. Find a local witness if possible or realistic.
5. Make sure you are safe off the road and won't get hit by another vehicle first...........yes you may move your vehicle, simply notify the officer as to the need for safety.
6. If in doubt, call an ambulance to get medical evaluation, safe is always better than sorry when you're uncertain.
7. If your not broken, then get to your Chiropractor, and likely your massage therapist, to start working on any issues you may be having, whether your consciously aware of them yet or not!
Again, safe is better than sorry when it comes to your health and well-being.
* Gems:
a) Consider that accidents generally "elevate" our bodies with that kind of force, in this case, a low-placed head rest could almost be more dangerous than beneficial as when the body raises, the headrest now can act as a fulcrum to "whip" the head back over, creating more damage to the cervical spine. THEREFORE make certian that as you sit at rest in your vehicle, he head rest should be felt when leaning back to near the top of the head. Goofy looking or not, in an accident this can make the difference between "whip lash" and your head stopping and minimizing damage to that precious neck or yours!
b) DON'T NOT GET THE CARE! Most commonly I hear patients tell me that they didn't get checked because they didn't know if their auto insurance policy would cover the charges. As of january 1, 2009, ALL auto policies are mandated to have a minimum "Medical payments" provision of at least $5000, unless you choose to opt out of that particular coverage. This means that all though you are smart to check your policy coverage, on average, you will have $5000 of coverage for heatlh care ( whether it's the Hospital, or your Chiropractor). Personally, I choose to actually increase my "Med Pay" coverage on my car to at least $25, 000 as this is very beneficial if I get into an accident no matter who was at fault, and it generally only increased my premiums around $20 or less per six months................a no brainer!
