“The doctor of the future will give no medicine but will interest the patient in the care of the human frame, in diet, and in the cause and prevention of disease.” Thomas Edison
How prophetic Mr. Edison was when he penned these words for there is no doctor more competent and devoted to the health of humanity than a chiropractor upholding the principles of his profession.
For decades research has identified an increased risk of fatal breast cancer with the use of antibiotics. In the Feb. 18, 2004 Journal of the American Medical Association researchers again confirm that antibiotic use (regardless of class) was associated with an increased risk of fatal breast cancer and that with the increased antibiotic use, there was a also a proportionate increase in the rates of breast cancer (9). The power that made our body can and will heal our body if only given a chance. Regardless of disease, and cancer is no exception, using drugs to suppress the warning signs (symptoms) that our body provides can only lead to serious illness. You can only ignore the warning light in your car for so long before all is lost, and as I’m sure you’re well aware, there’s no going out to purchase a new you. Take care of the one and only you… see your chiropractor and enjoy a well adjusted life.
There’s no shortage of evidence to show using antibiotics for ear infections makes no difference in outcome; in fact many are reporting that antibiotics given to children actually cause more ear infections. In this particular study, records from 2,089 otitis media patients were examined to determine incidence and treatment success. There was no difference in success rates between antibiotic use and non antibiotic therapies. (8) This study, as it is with most, is focused on whether or not one specific outcome changed or did not change. The danger in this is that no one bothers to ask if this is healthy for the child or not… that’s not relevant data as far as the study goes. As a parent however, I imagine it is relevant thus the reason for sharing this information. The potential for harm to the child is real when you consider antibiotics do not discriminate between good bacteria and bad and your child will be left to suffer the consequences of the indiscriminate killing the bacteria so vital to proper digestion in a growing child.
“The master of your body did not run off and “leave you masterless.” B.J. Palmer
The power that transforms your daily meals into living breathing tissue or maintains your body temperature regardless of how hot or cold it is outside is the power that heals. It’s always there; eager to work the miracle of life if the barriers to its natural function should be removed. Drugs & surgery can not and will never restore health… get adjusted and see your life transformed from within.
Recently a practice member shared an article describing how mercury, a heavy metal toxin known to be contaminating the worlds fish supply, was now being found in almost half of all commercial high fructose corn syrup (HFCS). If you’re not familiar with the story, Dufault et al. found detectable levels of mercury in nine of 20 samples of commercial HFCS while a separate article titled “Not So Sweet: Missing Mercury and High Fructose Corn Syrup” reported mercury in nearly one-third of 55 popular brand name food and beverage products where HFCS is the first or second highest labeled ingredient in the product. Although the articles have a legitimate claim to raise concern for what’s being injected in the local food supply, I can’t help but notice that we may be missing the forest for the trees.
The articles describe how “HFCS use has skyrocketed in recent decades as the sweetener has replaced sugar in many processed foods.” “Found in sweetened beverages, breads, cereals, breakfast bars, lunch meats, yogurts, soups and condiments,” (nearly everything processed) the average consumption rate per American is about 12 teaspoons per day… 12 teaspoons per day! And this of course is an average with teenagers and other folks who consume higher amounts of sweetened foods receiving as much as 80 percent more than that.
The authors call for immediate changes by industry and demand that the FDA (who knew of this contamination four years ago and did nothing) help stop this avoidable mercury contamination of the food supply. Folks; HFCS is not food! It’s a highly refined chemical sugar known as an anti-nutrient (meaning these are not just “empty calories” they are life robbing calories) that cause serious health effects, especially in young developing children.
These companies are using mercury grade caustic soda to chemically strip the starch from the corn (a plant that’s already so polluted with heavy doses of pesticides and herbicides that it should be considered hazardous material) and the caustic soda is produced in industrial chlorine plants. The articles are so focused on the mercury that one goes on to suggest that companies “just need a good push to only use those ingredients” that are mercury free. I can see it now, products labeled mercury free to out sell those that by legal definition can’t suggest it.
The bad news is not simply that you don’t know what food contains the “contaminated HFCS,” the bad new is that you are going to have to stop eating the foods containing HFCS all together if you want half a chance at living a long and healthy life. Free yourself from the modern science project and learn about local healthy food. Our office is dedicated to it and you can rely on it.
“Let your food be your medicine and your medicine your food.” Hippocrates
I don’t imagine Hippocrates would qualify the highly refined poison our modern and sophisticated agri-food businesses produce market and distribute to an unwary public as food. Should you ever desire to learn more about how to distance yourself from such hypocrisy as can be found in the typical grocery store, feel free to give us a call. We love to share the simple truth about how to nurture the full expression of life, love and the divine spirit in humanity.
