Questions about Influenza

March 13th, 2013

In this video I share some thoughts on the influenza virus and the attempts by public health officials to continually keep the “flu shot” in the media.

I come from a fairly practical family and I can just imagine my grandma saying “if they have to sell something that bad, there’s got to be something wrong with it”. I have to agree.

The “roulette” science that is behind choosing what influenza subtypes are in the annual flu shot is just the beginning. The idea that a genetically modified protein is being injected into people along with all sorts of binding agents and “adjuncts” that have dramatic toxic effects on the human body is another concern. And the list of problems with the flu shot goes on and on.

Where North American Thinking Will Not Help You.

February 7th, 2013

This is a great example of inside out healing. Typically in North America we have been trained to think that the root of a health problem is also where the pain or symptoms are coming from. At least twice a month I examine a new client and they have a problem that is so far away from where it’s hurting that they have difficulty understanding how we can help. After all they’ve already been to 5 or 6 “experts” who are saying that their pain is their problem and so how could healing the nerves help?? I am now starting to ask, “so how has that level of thinking been working?”

What really is “in the best interest” of our children?

February 5th, 2013

I’m reviewing some research for our movie screening on Feb. 12th.  It’s a movie called “The Greater Good” a documentary on vaccines.  The thing I have never understood is why this issue is so emotional for people.  I understand it’s about our children and that can cause a lot of emotion, but so are a lot of other things.  Education, parenting, kids and chiropractic, nutrition. . . . all these things have a huge impact on our children and their future — but few things elicit as much emotion as a discussion on whither or not we should vaccinate.

Time to update our score card and get back to real science.

January 19th, 2013

“The best immunity is natural immunity. Contamination from vaccines, on the other hand, short circuits all the body’s first line of defense. It is dangerously misleading and indeed the exact opposite of the truth to claim vaccines make us “immune” or protect against disease. In fact, it only drives disease deeper and causes us to harbor it chronically.”

Shorten your life with exercise????

December 21st, 2012

For the full article by Dr. Mercola on the video please click on the link here.

Summary of the article:

Extreme endurance cardio, such as marathon running, actually damages your heart, and can negate the health benefits you’d otherwise reap from a regular fitness program. Research has shown that once you reach 40-50 minutes of vigorous exercise per day, the benefits from your efforts plateau, and further efforts do not convey further improvements in life expectancy.

The 5 Pillars Of Food Safety — The Insider Story of rBGH

November 22nd, 2012

NAVDANIA Address, New Delhi, India, October 1-2, 2008

By Shiv Chopra, B.V. Sc. & A.H., M.Sc., Ph.D.

This is a transcript of a speech given by Dr. Shiv Chopra, one of three scientists who were fired by Health Canada in a long-running whistleblowing saga. They have reported publicly they were pressured by their bosses to approve drugs despite human safety concerns, that was enough to get them fired for insubordination. They have sparked headlines since the 1990s in a series of high-profile disputes over food safety. They publicly opposed rBST, a bovine growth hormone, which enhances milk production in cows. Their criticism led to a Senate inquiry and a decision not to approve the drug.

Role of chiropractic in managing seizures in children with autism

November 11th, 2012

This article was taken from Natural News. Click here.

Over a decade ago, Pistolese presented the results of a thorough chiropractic literature review that out of the 17 papers reviewed, 15 epileptic patients out of 15 reported positive outcomes resulting from subluxation-based chiropractic care (like what we do at lighthouse). Since his paper, several studies have been published documenting similar results. Of the various theories that have been postulated to explain the apparent effectiveness subluxation-based chiropractic has in managing seizures, Amalu’s work concerning cerebral penumbra applies most readily to autistic patient suffering from seizures.

Does Today’s Chiropractic Really Boost Athletic Performance?

November 2nd, 2012

Absolutely. Changes in athletic performance and physiological measure in university baseball players was measured before, during and after chiropractic adjustments. The results showed significant improvement in fourteen weeks in muscle strength and long jump distance in the group receiving adjustments.
. . . in the group that received chiropractic care there were decreases in resting blood pressure and pulse rate as well as pulse rate following treadmill activity. By comparison, these same measures showed increases within the control group (those who did not get adjusted) (1)

Chiropractic Helps Lower Blood Pressure

October 29th, 2012

Please NOTE that the announcer’s statement that very few chiropractors are trained in this technique is NOT accurate. Dr. Dickholtz practices one of the many “upper cervical” (UC) techniques (called NUCCA), but in fact there is no proof that any one of the UC techniques is superior to any other. It is probable that more than 50% of the DCs in North America are trained in at least one upper cervical specific technique, and could get similar results. For more information click here.

Prop 37, Dead Rats and Common Sense

October 26th, 2012

I’ve been watching the development of “Proposition 37″ in California over the last couple of months. For those of you who don’t know, Prop 37 is a State law that will NOT make manufacturers label genetically modified food (GM food). This especially concerning in light of recent French research showing a strong link to GM foods and adult onset cancer’s click here.
