| Childhood and Chiropractic |

By Drs. Jennifer and Palmer Peet,Chiropractic for Kids and Adults, Shelbourne, Vermont Doctors of chiropractic have included children in their wellness practices for more than a hundred years. Go to just about any chiropractor’s office in the world who adjusts children and you’ll find that in addition to the research, Parents report that their children with ear infections, colic, bed-wetting, asthma, hyperactivity, and other conditions have improved with chiropractic adjustments. .(2, 5-11). Through the years, chiropractic techniques have evolved, improved, and been measured for effectiveness. It has been estimated that more than 25 million adjustments are given to children each year in the United States. Considering all the falls, accidents, jars, jerks, and jolts that the average child faces, it’s no surprise that such a mass amount of children have faulty postures or curvature of the spine, which may cause headaches, auditory problems, dizziness, motor problems and other disturbances.12,13,14 In fact a comparative study of kids raised under chiropractic vs. those raised under medicine showed that chiropractic kids are less prone to infections such as otitis media (inner ear), tonsillitis, and that their immune systems are better able to cope with allergens as compared to children raised under traditional medicine. The chiropractic kids also used less antibiotics and recovered more rapidly from injury or illness.15 While finding in different areas of the world and inside the chiropractic profession clearly show the need for chiropractic care for children, unfortunately today, U.S. patients continue to often be harassed by their medical doctors for seeing a chiropractor. Some parts of the medical establishment are coming around and beginning to report on the importance of pediatric chiropractic for wellness. One medical study wrote: “For many families in the U.S., Chiropractic care is no longer an alternative, but an integral part of regular health care, both for health promotion and the treatment of common diseases.” Anne CC Lee, BSE; Dawn H. LI, MD; Kathi J. Kemper, MD. MPH “Chiroparactic Care for Children” published in the Archives of Pediatric and Adolescent Medicine, Apr 2000; Vol. 154 No. 4:pgs 401-407 Every child from birth onward should have access to chiropractic care to correct vertebral subluxations, which interfere with their ability to be as healthy as possible.

| Chiropractic and the Immune System |
| 19.06.2009 08:26:04 | |

August 12, 2007 Summary Researchers now know that there is a critical link between the body’s central nervous system and the immune system. Something chiropractic researchers have been aware of since the 1918 flu epidemic, when it was found that the rate of chiropractic patients that got the flu was less than half that of non-chiropractic patients. Researchers now know that there is a critical link between the body’s central nervous system and the immune system. Something chiropractic researchers have been aware of since the 1918 flu epidemic, when it was found that the rate of chiropractic patients that got the flu was less than half that of non-chiropractic patients. In 1974, physiologist Dr. I.M. Korr proposed that “spinal lesions” (similar to the vertebral subluxation complex) are associated with exaggerated sympathetic (a division of the autonomic nerve system) activity.[1] Sympathetic activity has been shown to release immune regulatory cells into the blood circulation, which alters immune function. Drs. Murray, Irwin, and Reardon were the authors of the report that stated: “Growing evidence suggests that immune function is regulated in part by the sympathetic nervous system. Sympathetic nerve endings densely innervate lymphoid tissue such as the spleen, lymph nodes and the thymus, and lymphoid cells have beta 2 adregenergic receptors.” [2] So, what they were saying is that the nervous system has a direct immune system effect through the nerve supply to the important immune system organs. One of the most important studies was performed by Ronald Pero, Ph.D., chief of cancer prevention research at New York’s Preventive Medicine Institute and professor of medicine at New York University. It showed the positive effect that chiropractic care can have on the immune system and general health. Dr. Pero measured the immune systems of people under chiropractic care as compared to those in the general population and those with cancer and other serious diseases. His initial three-year study was of 107 individuals who had been under chiropractic care for five years or more. The chiropractic patients were found to have a 200% greater immune competence than those people who had not received chiropractic care, and they had 400% greater immune competence than those people with cancer and other serious diseases. The immune system superiority of those under chiropractic care did not appear to diminish with age. Dr. Pero stated: “When applied in a clinical framework, I have never seen a group other than this chiropractic group to experience a 200% increase over the normal patients. This is why it is so dramatically important. We have never seen such a positive improvement in a group…”3 The chiropractic immunology connection was strengthened in 1991 when Patricia Brennan, Ph.D., leading a team of researchers, conducted a study that found improved immune response in her test subjects following chiropractic treatment. The study specifically demonstrated the “phagocytic respiratory burst of polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMN) and monocytes were enhanced in adults that had been adjusted by chiropractors.” [4] So, through chiropractic care, the function of the phagocytes, the white-blood cells that go on the search and destroy missions for the body, the ones that engulf and destroy bad cells, is enhanced. Another important study was performed at the Life Chiropractic University, Sid Williams Research Center in 1994. The researchers took a group of HIV positive patients and adjusted them over a six-month period. What they found was that the “patients that were adjusted had a forty-eight percent (48%) increase in the number CD4 cells (an important immune system component).” These measurements were taken at the patients’ independent medical center, where they were under medical supervision for the condition. The control group (the patients that were not adjusted) did not demonstrate this dramatic increase in immune function, but actually experienced a 7.96% decrease in CD4 cell counts over the same period. [5] Those are very impressive results with important implications, yet they were ignored. You would think that we’d have seen it as front-page, headline news, or heard a special report about it. However, as they say in the news business, “if it bleeds, it leads.” (We were probably too busy watching OJ Simpson’s bizarre ride in the white SUV after his wife’s and their pool boy’s murder. You know … the truly important stuff.) Another paper published in 1987 found a connection between the autonomic nervous system and the immune system through endocrine channels. Dr. Felton and his team of researchers reported that “the neurotransmitter, norepinephrine is present in sympathetic nerve fibers that innervate lymphoid organs and act on the spleen.” [6] The authors proposed that norepinephrine in lymphoid organs plays a significant role in the regulation of the immune system. They stated: “Stressful conditions lead to altered measures of immune function, and altered susceptibility to a variety of diseases. Many stimuli, which primarily act on the central nervous system, can profoundly alter immune responses. The two routes available to the central nervous system are neuroendocrine channels and autonomic nerve channels.” [6] Thus, the immune system is affected by the nerve system through the connections with the endocrine and the autonomic nervous system. And chiropractic care improves the function of the nerve system through improving the movement of the spinal bones that encase and protect the spinal cord.

| Over the Counter Cough/ Cold Medications |

It’s official now…the FDA released their press release on the 17th regarding the dangers of the OTC Cough / Cold products. How can we thank them enough? The FDA has again protected us so well….MANY WOULD THINK, NOT I. Isn’t their job to make sure that products like these don’t harm / KILL babies and children BEFORE BABIES AND CHILDREN ARE HARMED / KILLED???? Wonderful organization the FDA, I don’t know where we would be without them. FDA NewsFOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE January 17, 2008 Media Inquiries: Susan Cruzan, 301-827-6242Consumer Inquiries: 888-INFO-FDA FDA Releases Recommendations Regarding Use of Over-the-Counter Cough and Cold Products Products should not be used in children under 2 years of age; evaluation continues in older populations The U.S. Food and Drug Administration today issued a Public Health Advisory for parents and caregivers, recommending that over-the-counter (OTC) cough and cold products should not be used to treat infants and children less than 2 years of age because serious and potentially life-threatening side effects can occur from such use. OTC cough and cold products include decongestants, expectorants, antihistamines, and antitussives (cough suppressants) for the treatment of colds. There are a wide variety of rare, serious adverse events reported with cough and cold products. They include death, convulsions, rapid heart rates, and decreased levels of consciousness. "The FDA strongly recommends to parents and caregivers that OTC cough and cold medicines not be used for children younger than 2," said Charles Ganley, M.D., director of the FDA's Office of Nonprescription Products. "These medicines, which treat symptoms and not the underlying condition, have not been shown to be safe or effective in children under 2." The announcement does not include the FDA's final recommendation about use of OTC cough and cold medicines in children ages 2 to 11 years. The agency's review of data for 2-to-11-year-olds is continuing. The FDA is committed to making a timely and comprehensive review of the safety of OTC cough and cold medicines in children. The agency plans to issue its recommendations on use of the products in children ages 2 to 11 years to the public as soon as the review is complete. Today's statement is based on the FDA's review of data and discussion at a joint meeting of the Nonprescription Drugs and Pediatric Advisory Committees on Oct. 18 and 19, 2007. Pending completion of the FDA's ongoing review, parents and caregivers that choose to use OTC cough and cold medicines to children ages 2 to 11 years should: · Follow the dosing directions on the label of any OTC medication, · Understand that these drugs will NOT cure or shorten the duration of the common cold, · Check the "Drug Facts" label to learn what active ingredients are in the products because many OTC cough and cold products contain multiple active ingredients, and · Only use measuring spoons or cups that come with the medicine or those made specially for measuring drugs. The FDA recommends that anyone with questions contact a physician, pharmacist or other health care professional to discuss how to treat a child with a cough or cold.

| THE FUTURE OF YOUR CHILD’S IMMUNE SYSTEM |
| 19.06.2009 08:09:21 | |
|
American Baby; June 2006
Scientists at the University of British Columbia analyzed data from eight studies on antibiotics and asthma. They found that children who received even one dose of antibiotics within the first 12 months had double the risk of developing asthma later on. Each additional dose upped the possibility by 16%. (EACH DOSE!!!!) Although kids with asthma may simply get more infections that require antibiotics, the researchers theorize that excessive use of these drugs also decreases natural exposure to germs and over stimulates the immune system's response to allergens, which may lead to asthma. "We're not sure about the
association, but it certainly looks like something's there," says the lead study author Carlo Marra,
The bottom line is folks that allergies, asthma and infections are skyrocketing. What is causing it? Why are our children’s immune systems being depleted like this? What will this look like in the future when kids are growing up with dysfunctional immune systems? The answers all lie in what these researchers are finding, the assault on the human immune system isn’t working out. It isn’t working out at all.
Chiropractic care along with the Maximized Living lifestyle is a safe and sound answer. Rather then treating conditions with dangerous, manipulative medications, it only makes sense that you would build immunity naturally. All immunity and all functions are under the complete control of the Central Nervous System. A healthy spine, less not more medications, and more quality nutrients is the obvious answer and the only future.

| COURT AGREES WITH DOUG FLUTIE, JENNY MCCARTHEY, HOLLY ROBINSON PEETE, AND LARRY KING |
| 19.06.2009 07:45:14 | |

The last two weeks, the Larry King show has focused on the fact that vaccines cause autism. While scientists, Senators, and thousands of enraged parents have been stating this for years – it’s taking an array of celebrities and sports stars to finally make this tragedy known. LANDMARK RULING – COURT CONCEDES VACCINES CAUSE AUTISM Government Concedes Vaccine - Autism Case in Federal Court - Now What? By David Kirby February 25, 2008 After years of insisting there is no evidence to link vaccines with the onset of autism spectrum disorder (ASD), the US government has quietly conceded a vaccine-autism case in the Court of Federal Claims. The unprecedented concession was filed on November 9, and sealed to protect the plaintiff's identify. It was obtained through individuals unrelated to the case. The claim, one of 4,900 autism cases currently pending in Federal "Vaccine Court," was conceded by US Assistant Attorney General Peter Keisler and Justice Department officials, on behalf of the Dept. of Health and Human Services, the "defendant" in all Vaccine Court cases. The child's claim against the government -- that mercury-containing vaccines were the cause of her autism -- was supposed to be one of three "test cases" for the thimerosal-autism theory currently under consideration by a three-member panel of Special Masters, the presiding justices in Federal Claims Court. Keisler wrote that medical personnel at the HHS Division of Vaccine Injury Compensation (DVIC) had reviewed the case and "concluded that compensation is appropriate." The doctors conceded that the child was healthy and developing normally until her 18-month well-baby visit, when she received vaccinations against nine different diseases all at once (two contained thimerosal). Days later, the girl began spiraling downward into a cascade of illnesses and setbacks that, within months, presented as symptoms of autismincluding: No response to verbal direction; loss of language skills; no eye contact; loss of "relatedness;" insomnia; incessant screaming; arching; and "watching the florescent lights repeatedly during examination." Seven months after vaccination, the patient was diagnosed by Dr. Andrew Zimmerman, a leading neurologist at the Kennedy Krieger Children's Hospital Neurology Clinic, with "regressive encephalopathy (brain disease) with features consistent with autistic spectrum disorder, following normal development." In its written concession, the government said the child had a pre-existing mitochondrial disorder that was "aggravated" by her shots, and which ultimately resulted in an ASD diagnosis. "The vaccinations received on July 19, 2000, significantly aggravated an underlying mitochondrial disorder," the concession says, "which predisposed her to deficits in cellular energy metabolism, and manifested as a regressive encephalopathy with features of ASD." CAN YOU IMAGINE? I've got a 15 month old child. If you have kids, you know, these are incredibly fun times. As a parent, you marvel at how smart they are and you just laugh for hours at a time at practically everything they do. Can you then imagine, that your child hits 18 months old, like the one in the story, and at the peak of this joy, fun, laughs, and intellectual development they receive a vaccination and regress back to 2-3 months old forever. Well, this now happens in 1 out of 160 kids. That's how many births more then likely occur in your city each day - or more! IN THE YEAR 2000, FEDERAL INVESTIGATORS REVEALED THAT VACCINES HAVE CAUSED AUTISM TO GO FROM 1 IN 15-20,000 TO 1 IN 160. NOW THE VACCINE SCHEDULE HAS GONE UP TO 122 VACCINES BY THE AGE OF 18! WHILE THERE ARE MANY GREAT, NATURAL TREATMENTS TO HELP AUTISM, IN MOST FAMILIES, AUTISM DESTROYS ANY CHANCE THAT OF A NORMAL LIFE. WHEN WILL YOU STOP AND ADDRESS THE VACCINE ISSUE? WHEN IT’S 1 OUT OF 1? GET INFORMED – SAVE YOUR FAMILY! RIGHT NOW – THE GOVERNMENT HAS ONLY CONCEDED VACCINES CAUSED AUTISM IN THIS ONE CASE. YOU, HOWEVER, CAN VOTE. IF YOU GO TO: http://www.cnn.com/CNN/Programs/larry.king.live/ YOU CAN VOTE THAT VACCINES CAUSE AUTISM. AS OF THIS WRITING, 81% VOTED THAT “YES” VACCINES CAUSE AUTISM.

| Stand Straight: Maximized Living Doctor Katie Benson |
| 22.04.2009 00:23:23 | |

Did you know that your body is a system? Our organs, arteries, veins, nerves and everything else are interconnected, intertwined and necessary to each other. The Maximized Living Doctor Katie Benson provides help that can make this system work most effectively. What is the one phrase all of us heard more than anything else growing up? (Well, for me, it was “that wouldn’t have happened if you’d had shoes on,” but this was a close second.) Give up? “Stand up straight.” Teachers, parents, grandmothers…. The list of people concerned to make sure we were not slouching is endless. They all had their reasons. Teachers didn’t want us to slouch because it was that much easier to fall asleep at our desks when we were boneless in the chairs. Mothers and grandmothers seemed primarily concerned that we not grow humps on our backs from stooping over. There were more reasons, to do with not looking slovenly or unlady/gentlemanlike, and the list goes on. While they were wrong about the humps – that has more to do with genetics and bone density than posture – they were right about standing up straight; even when it came to sleeping in class. Good posture helps us breathe better. Standing up straight means we can get more oxygen into our systems. More oxygen leads to a whole range of wonderful things all of which feed off one another. If you have more oxygen in your body, you have more energy. More energy means you are better equipped to face your day. It also makes it easier to lose weight or not gain it in the first place. Believe it or not, breathing better during the day will help you sleep better at night, which will give you more energy that will… If all this results from improved posture, jut think of what making sure your whole body is working well and is healthy can do.
