The Global Effects Of Subluxation Part 3
November 30, 2009
If you missed parts 1 and 2 read them first….
Here is the one of the biggest reasons why you and your family need to include chiropractic care as a part of your healthy, 100 year lifestyle!
5. An Early Unnecessary Demise: In 1994 Dr. Lee authored a lengthy article that postulates that the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) is involved in all disease processes and explains that causes and cures of all diseases are mediated by our central nervous system. Everyone must be checked on a routine basis for neurological interference caused by subluxations at a lifestyle chiropractic office if they desire to stay healthy. Another study reveals that subluxations negatively effect the visceral (organ) input centers and output centers in your brain stem. This indicates that almost any subluxation at any level may result in almost any kind of health challenge. Finally, the autopsies performed by Dr. Windsor M.D. correlated that nearly 100% of diseases these animals suffered from were related to a curvature in the spine or a spinal problem that damaged the nerve that supplied that specific organ.
Is this different from what you thought chiropractic care was all about??

Sickness Season or Healthy Season??
November 27, 2009
Each autumn millions of children and adults come down with a cold, the flu or an ear infection. Yet misconceptions often result in inappropriate treatment.
Colds and Flu: Both the common cold and influenza are caused by viruses, so medical treatment is rarely necessary. Influenza is like a cold, but may include fever, body aches, chills and extreme fatigue. Stomach flu which causes vomiting is often a case of mild food poisoning.
According to an article in the February 2003 issue of Pediatrics, colds accounted for 1.6 million emergency room visits and 25 million ambulatory visits in 1998. In response to the widespread misconception that medical intervention is helpful, the American Academy of Pediatrics issued some common sense advice to parents:
- Avoid antibiotics which have no effect on viruses.
- Don’t use over-the-counter cold or cough medications since most will not work.
- Don’t use aspirin if a child has a fever since it can cause a serious reaction called Reye’s syndrome.
Annual flu vaccines are available, but their benefit is extremely questionable. Vaccine experts must decide which flu varieties will be the biggest threats 9-12 months in advance. Since flu viruses mutate constantly, it is nearly impossible to include the right strains in the vaccine.
The Swine Flu is causing recent concern. According to the September 8, 2009 Wall Street Journal, the CDC now advocates “watchful waiting” as an option. “The majority of adolescents and adults and most children won’t need antivirals,” said the CDC’s director of the National Center for Immunization & Respiratory Diseases, Anne Schuchat. Most people just need “mom’s chicken soup, rest and lots of fluids.”
Ear Infections: Typically affecting young children, ear infections may be caused by viruses or bacteria. The Southern California/RAND Evidence-based Practice Center analyzed clinical studies conducted from 1964 through 1998, sponsored by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality. It estimates that over 5 million cases of acute otitis media (AOM) occur each year in the US at a cost of approximately $3 billion.
The studies showed that without antibiotics, nearly two-thirds of children recover from pain and fever within 24 hours of diagnosis and over 80% recover fully within seven days. In the May 2004 issue of Pediatrics, the American Academy of Pediatrics issued new guidelines, recommending observation in many cases instead of antibiotics. Several studies have shown that chiropractic care benefits children with recurrent ear infections, such as the one conducted by Drs. Fallon and Edelman and described in the March 1998 edition of Alternative Therapies.
Remedies and Prevention: So what should you do when you come down with a cold, the flu or an ear infection? Get plenty of sleep, drink lots of fluids, and eat healthy food. In addition be sure to get adjusted regularly and especially if you are sick. Your nervous system directly controls your immune system, and spinal subluxations can interfere with the communication between the nervous system and the immune system. Chiropractic care will remove this interference so your body can maximize its immune system response and keep you as healthy as possible.
Thomas Edison said, “The doctor of the future will give no medicine, but will interest his patients in the care of the human frame, in diet, and in the cause and prevention of disease.” Good advice for us to follow.
Severe Brain Degeneration From Being Overweight?

You read that right! A new study in the journal Human Brain Mapping found that obese people have 8 percent less brain tissue than their healthy weight counterparts and that their brains looked 16 years older!

Carrying extra weight has many negative health effects including heart disease, Type 2 diabetes and now you can add sever brain degeneration to the list.

MRI Shows 10% of Kids Have Disc Degeneration!
August 10, 2009
We often associate disc breakdown with aging, but studies like this are giving us valuable clues to figuring out how this process begins. Why does this degeneration occur in children? Backpacks, musical instruments, sports,
This can cause subluxation.....
excessive sitting can all cause micro-injuries to the spine that if left uncorrected cause degenerative change that may not be felt for YEARS to come.
Have you ever been to the dentist and she says, “You have a cavity that has been there for some time” even though you haven’t felt a thing? Just like cavities, spinal decay can start early and progress without you feeling anything!
This too....
A healthy spine is NECESSARY for your kids to be successful in school, which is why, for the month of August you can bring in your child for a spinal exam to check for signs of spinal stress and spinal curvature for only $30. Get your kids “back” on track!
Call Cate today at 408-979-9999 to schedule your child for this evaluation before school starts!
