No thousand events combined have impacted humanity like the event we celebrate at this time each year. While many take joy in a gift from God that start our calendar and changed how millions worship, if you look at things from a medical perspective, you have to sit back and wonder if God really did not make quite a blunder.

First of all, through the entire nine months, not once was Mary’s blood tested to make sure her body was even fit to bear a child. In such a prehistoric era, there was no high frequency electric wave available to monitor the fetal heart rate or any ultrasound to make sure that He was a he and that the baby was developing normally. No amniocentesis, they did not even have needles to suck out some of the fluid in the womb to check for the proper chromosomal development. What was God thinking? There were no doctor’s offices, no hospitals, and no HMOs. Not only was this a very unsafe situation, but how was Joseph suppose to even afford it on a Carpenter’s salary! Why did you think the inn keeper said there was, “No room?” Can you say, “No dinero?”

Talk about perilous. What if labor needed to be induced? What if there needed to be an emergency C-section and without forceps or vacuum extraction, what if Jesus could not even have gotten out? Then where would we be? No toys, no reindeer, no fruit cake! In fact, with no epidurals or heavy narcotics available how in heaven was Mary expected to even endure this event? You bet she was a Saint!! Medically speaking, should we even be looking at this as a season for merriment? No! Instead, we should be questioning God’s decision making ability and reflecting on how He could have risked little 8 pounds 8 ounces, baby Jesus’ life this way!

Baby Jesus was born in a barn before antibiotics were even invented! Not to mention after the delivery there was no erythromycin for His eyes to stop Him from going blind just in case Mary somehow had Syphilis, no Vitamin K shots for his poorly constructed blood stream, no Heparin (See Dennis Quaid) and good Lord, no vaccinations! They were so behind then. Clearly now, in a far more advanced, sophisticated society, is when all of this should have happened or maybe we need to start re-thinking some things!

FACT: The United States has the highest infant death rate and the highest neonatal mortality rate of any industrialized country in the world.
FACT: The United States is last in the industrialized world for death before age 1 and at age 60.
FACT: The Unites States is last in the industrialized world for healthy longevity.
FACT: The United States pays the most for health yet ranks last in health.

As the calendar goes to rollover once more from 2008 to 2009, I believe it is time to reconsider what the MAN who literally split the calendar had in mind, at His coming in relation to our bodies and our thinking. Maybe another reason for the birth of Jesus at that time and place is as a model of faith in the natural processes of God and a trust and respect for the power He put in the body to heal and maintain itself.

TURN BACK TO GOD. TURN ON GOD’S POWER. GO NATURAL. GO RIVER CITY CHIROPRACTIC

During this time of year, we become aware that peace on earth and good will towards men and women will be found only through giving. Examine yourself and ask if you are truly a giving person and what it is that you are giving?

The Bible tells a story of a man going down from Jerusalem to Jericho when he fell into the hands of robbers. They stripped him of all his clothes, beat him, went away, and left him half dead. A priest was going down the same road when he saw the man. He passed on the other side of the road. Similarly, a Levite (Holy man) came to the place and saw him, again passing on the other side. A Samaritan (considered by those hearing the story to be lowly people), as he traveled, came to where the man was. When he saw him, he took pity on him. He went to him and bandaged his wounds. Then he put the man on his donkey, took him to an inn and took care of him. The next day, he took out two silver coins and gave them to the innkeeper. “Look after him,” he said,” and when I return, I will reimburse you for any extra expense you may have.” Which of these men are creating peace on earth, the priest, Levite (Holy man), or Samaritan (lowly person)?

Let’s put this in a modern perspective using the exact same examples the Bible is using. Standing by the side of the road is a woman wearing an old filthy dress and holding a screaming baby whose diaper badly needs changing. Her husband is unshaven and wearing worn out, dirty overalls. They are standing by an old, beat up car that has broken down. Soon, a pastor drives by with his family, looks at the unsightly couple and does not stop thinking that it may not be safe for his family. A priest drives by next and does not consider stopping because he would be late for church. A wealthy builder and local politician drive by and hope that the authorities get these people off the road. Then, an atheist, used car salesman comes by and picks them up. He stops by a Seven Eleven and buys diapers. He puts them up in a motel, lends them a car until the father can find work, and then puts him on an easy payment plan. “Which of these is creating peace on earth?”

Hopefully your eyes have been opened enough to see that under Chiropractic care, immunity to disease is increased, asthma and illness go away, severe pain disappears, energy comes back and all of it comes from the power of God within. You also have read the extreme danger of all drugs and surgery (NYU research five years of Chiropractic care increases immunity 400 %).

Knowing this, how many of you will see a child with asthma, a person with a limp, a sick baby, someone in pain, and walk away. Also, how many of you will hear of someone who is suffering from diabetes, cancer, or find out about family members and co-workers taking drugs, yet walk right around them without telling them how God saves lives through Chiropractic? Are they not worth it? Are you too busy? Are you creating peace on earth?

Right now you can obtain gift certificates for complete examination with diagnostic nerve tests and x-rays for the donation of a warm new or gently used coat (all ages needed). We have set no limit on your generosity. We will also match dollar for dollar your contribution to a needy family for the cost of their care. Imagine: the gift of healing or another forgotten toy or unneeded (unwanted?) knick-knack.

REMEMBER SARs?
Severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) is a respiratory disease in humans which is caused by the SARS coronavirus (SARS-CoV).

There has been one “near pandemic” to date, between November 2002 and July 2003, with 3,461 infected and killed 170, according to the World Health Organization (0.0000005% & 0.0000000025% of population respectively; hardly an epidemic not to mention pandemic!), down from the original 7000 cases with over 800 deaths.

Francis Plummer, a veteran scientist who has spent 20 years tracking AIDS and other deadly infections around the globe, said he is not convinced by the theory that SARS is caused by a rogue strain of coronavirus. Dr. Plummer said tests show only 40% of Canadian SARS patients have the suspect virus in their tissue samples and even these patients have very small amounts of it. Moreover, some people who test positive for coronavirus have no SARS symptoms.”

Dr. John Zaia, chair and professor of virology at the City of Hope Beckman Research Institute in Duarte, California. ” We do not have an infection-specific death rate, That would be very valuable, because it could be that hundreds are getting infected but only small percentage are getting sick. That was the case for polio.”

I have not been able to find ANY information dated after 2003 regarding SARs (evidently it is now mysteriously gone). Yet A national survey conducted by the Harvard School of Public Health revealed that by mid-April 2003, 93% of Americans had heard of SARS and showed that fourteen percent of Americans nationally avoided Asian businesses. Border crossing even from Canada was suspended due to “out break in Toronto”; was this political economic pressure on Canada for not supporting the war that year? Certainly can’t be justified by the scientific facts.

Yet millions of people will line up this year for a flu shot, not proven to work, proven to injure thousands, and suspected of being the true cause of many “pandemic” scares!

Stop funding these programs through your businesses and social organizations (actively with donations, fundraisers, and participation as well as passively through silence!)

Teach more people about God given innate health, the power of perfecting natural immunity, and the primacy of the nerve systems control over health and vitality!

Oddly enough, we occasionally get calls from patients telling us they don’t want to come in for their appointments because they are too sick. When we hear this, we know we still have work to do in the realm of patient education.
In the closing days of World War I, a deadly form of influenza (”flu”) appeared. The influenza pandemic of 1917-1918 claimed more lives than the war.

During this crisis, doctors of chiropractic noticed that their patients seemed to have a lower fatality rate than the general population. Although this chiropractic observation remains unpublished in the peer-reviewed literature (since no scholarly journals were willing to publish chiropractic data in those days), a study was published by the osteopathic profession.1 Among doctors of osteopathy of the time, it was routine to check patients’ spines for “osteopathic lesions” (what we know as “subluxations”), and to correct them with manipulation. Due to this similarity, the osteopathic publication effectively verifies the chiropractic experience.

The death rate among influenza patients under conventional medical care in the U.S. was estimated at 5 percent to 6 percent. The fatality rate among influenza cases under osteopathic care was estimated at 0.25 percent. The implication drawn from this data by the study’s author was that lesions (subluxations) depress the immune system; therefore, correcting the lesions assists immune function.

Sadly, Osteopaths “sold their birth rite” for medical acceptance. Most Osteopaths mix unnatural pharmeceutical drugs with “natural supplements” for the illusion of being “more natural” (there is only natural and unnatural; no “more natural”), and “osteopathic manipulation” is a short elective coarse, not required for an Osteopathic degree!

The conclusion, drawn by chiropractors more than 80 years ago, has received support from recent research. The activity of the immune system’s major “players” - the white blood cells - has been found to increase after chiropractic adjustments.2,3 A small, but intriguing study suggests that the immune response of HIV-positive patients (as measured by CD4 count) improves when spinal subluxations are corrected.4,5.

In your ordinary, day-to-day experiences, you are not likely to notice that your white blood cells are a bit sluggish. However, this may very well be one effect of spinal subluxation - even in the absence of a sore back or a stiff neck. If you are not already doing so, please consider scheduling a minimum once a month chiropractic check-ups, even if you are pain-free.

The 1918 influenza pandemic has been labeled in history as one of the most devastating outbreaks in the history of the world with deaths commonly estimated at between 20 and 40 million people (although CDC documents reveal closer to 500,000 deaths) Why are we talking about this? The 1918 flu crisis has been labeled in the Chiropractic profession as the reason for our success and proliferation as an occupation. Here are some of the statistics that give merit to the power of the Chiropractic adjustment:
In Davenport, Iowa 50 medical doctors cared for 4,953 cases with 274 deaths. Also in Davenport, 150 chiropractors saw 1,635 cases with only one death. In the state of Iowa, medical doctors treated 93,590 patients, with 6,116 deaths, a loss of one patient out of every 15. In the same state, excluding Davenport, 4,735 patients were seen by chiropractors with a loss of only six patients – a loss of one patient out of every 789.
National figures show that 1,142 chiropractors cared for 46,394 for influenza during 1918, with a loss of 54 patients – one out of every 859.
In New York City, 950 out of 10,000 cases died with medical methods while 25 out of 10,000 died using drugless methods.

Yes, the medical profession was seeing a majority of the worst of the worst; however, one of the greatest statistics backing chiropractic care comes from the state of Oklahoma. There were 233 cases in which the medical doctors had cared for patients and eventually pronounced them as “lost” or “beyond hope”… chiropractors took care of all 233 with only 25 deaths.

Chiropractic’s journey into health care took a huge leap forward thanks to its incredible effect on the thousands of Americans during the flu crisis. What I hope you all gain from this is the incredible results of the chiropractic adjustment. When you get adjusted, you decreased sustained sympathetic tone in your nervous system (bad), which subsequently leads to an increase in immune function (good), among many other consequences (Journal of Neurophysiology, February 2007). An increase in immune function is important for everything from the cold and runny nose to influenza, cancer, and heart disease, not to mention the great enhancing effects on a healthy individual. This is why we encourage you all to come in to get checked despite if you are not feeling the best. An adjustment will stimulate your immune system to better fight off any illness in your body.

The stresses that people endured in the early 1900s were entirely different than those we incur presently. In order to achieve these dramatic results you must not only get adjusted, but also make changes in your lifestyle so your body can at least have an opportunity to heal. A few simple steps can maximize the effects of your adjustments. Eat more green leafy vegetables with every meal, take a 20 minute walk outside every day (especially if the sun is out as vit. D3 boosts immune function and natural UV kills viruses), and have a more optimistic view on life!

Answer: Look who benefits – and How!
1. Follow the Money: Imagine the profits from forced vaccinations for every person around the globe! Followed by huge profits for the medical/industrial complex from drugs used for treatment, hospitalizations, physician costs, laboratory costs, and medical personnel to enforce quarantines! I have seen numerous e-mails from Stock Market Investment companies, showing how an investor can make huge profits on the coming “Bird flu” pandemic!
2. Power and Control: Any individual, group, state or nation that, in any way, resists the formation of a One World Government, can be quarantined, embargoed, or imprisoned. The Rulers of the world can stifle or annihilate ALL dissent.
3. De-population of the world: So the world can belong solely to the rich few who rule in tyranny. They have already begun the de-population the earth by:
War, in almost every country around the globe
Sterilization Vaccines, already in development (perhaps already in place)
Abortion, and its #1 promoter - Planned Parenthood
Infanticide – Soon to come
Euthanasia – physician-assisted suicide (now legal and re-imbursed by insurane in Washington and Orgegon), of the elderly and those who are ill
Terminator seeds – Seeds that produce fruit that does not, in turn, produce seeds (such as “seedless” watermelons). These initial seeds have been patented by the mega-corporations (Monsanto, Cargill and the World Wide Wheat Company), so the farmer must buy new seeds every year rather than being able to save seeds from his own harvest. In addition, the farmer can only purchase the seeds from the owners of the mega-corporations. This becomes so prohibitively expensive that the farmer goes bankrupt.
Patented Genetically engineered food that can be withheld at will – to promote famines (exclusively used in occupied Iraq)
Destruction of the food supply of the world by killing off the turkeys, ducks and other birds used for food (because of the irrational fear of “Bird Flu”) in addition to the destruction of cows (because of the REAL threat of Mad Cow Disease – which they are presently down-playing), and sheep (because of the REAL threat of “Scrapie” which is Mad Sheep Disease). This is one of the ways they will bring about massive famines that will starve to death millions of people. Here is a quote from the United Nations:
“Food is Power. We use it to change behavior. Some may call that bribery. We do not apologize.” Catherine Bertini, executive director U.N. World Food Program, Beijing, China. U.N. 4th World Conference on Women, September, 1995.
Man-made Diseases, bioengineered in government and military laboratories to cause super-infectious world-wide pandemics.
Mandatory Vaccinations which can CAUSE (not prevent) horrible, deadly diseases in those who receive them, as well as autism, sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) and learning disabilities resulting from the mercury and other highly toxic substances vaccines contain. (See Vaccines: Are They Really Safe and Effective? by Neil Miller, New Atlantean Press at (www.thinktwice.com)
All of these methods are designed to de-populate the earth so the world can be owned and ruled by the “favored few”, those who say by self-proclamation, that they have the right and obligation to rule the world. And to “enslave the rest” through dependency on “treatments”, “protection” and “food production”

I have not caught the flu in 20 years, and you can avoid it too, without getting vaccinated, by following these simple guidelines, which will keep your immune system in optimal working order so that you’re far less likely to acquire the infection to begin with.
• Avoid Sugar. Sugar decreases the function of your immune system almost immediately, and as you likely know, a strong immune system is key to fighting off viruses and other illness. Be aware that sugar is present in foods you may not suspect, like ketchup and fruit juice, not to mention grain products.
• Get Enough Rest. Just like it becomes harder for you to get your daily tasks done if you’re tired, if your body is overly fatigued it will be harder for it to fight the flu. Turn off the TV and GO TO BED!
• Don’t Let Stress Become Overwhelming. We all face some stress everyday, but if stress becomes overwhelming then your body will be less able to fight off the flu and other illness.
• Get Chiropractic Adjustments Once a Week. Science has proven specific spinal adjustments optimize immune function (not to mention hundreds of other God given health and vitality functions like improving sleep and reducing stress!)
• Exercise. When you exercise, you increase your circulation and your blood flow throughout your body. The components of your immune system are also better circulated, which means your immune system has a better chance of finding an illness before it spreads.
• Get a Massage. Lowering tension, mental and physical, as well as improving lymphatic flow (the immune super highway) are proven benefits of massage. Not just a luxury but a true health promoter! Be sure to schedule an hour or more as total body application is best as lymphatic flow is total body.
• Eat God Foods. Cruciferous vegetables (cabbage, broccoli, and cauliflower, etc) and citrus fruits are known to optimize immunity. Surprise; God grows them in the winter months!
• Expose Yourself. Current research indicates that it is the lack of sun exposure during winter months that creates “seasonal” sickness. Decreased UV rays allow molds and viruses to proliferate and diminish natural vitamin D3 production in the body (vastly more effective than any supplement) necessary for optimum immune function.
• Wash Your Hands. Washing your hands will decrease your likelihood of spreading a virus to your nose, mouth or other people. Be sure you don’t use antibacterial soap for this — antibacterial soaps are completely unnecessary, and they cause the spread of more resistant germs. Instead, identify a simple chemical-free soap that you can switch your family to.
• Try Nasal Irrigation. Rinsing the sinuses with light saline solution is good hygiene. Ask for our “how to” article.
• Go Silver. Colloidal silver is available at most health food stores and is anti microbial and without side-effects (when used properly). Ask the front desk for less expensive sources.
• Share These Tips With Everyone You Know! Science has proven; Altruistic people (those willing to serve for the benefit of others) are healthier. Not to mention; the more healthy the community the less likely diseases can spread!

Here is the deal folks. Flu season is here and you are going to be encouraged to inject useless chemicals into your body for the sake of supposed relief of the flu. The fact is that for the last 4 years running our flu shots have failed to stop all the new and most recent flu strains found in America. In other words they were useless. Actually, they were worse, because they actually did damage in an effort to make you IMMUNE. So I will be supplying you with many articles over then next few weeks to inform you the TRUTH about flu shots. I hope you took note of our new sign for the winter. “DID JESUS NEED A FLU SHOT? HEAVENS NO!!!” The fact is he didn’t, Moses didn’t, Mohammed didn’t, Plato didn’t, President Obama doesnt, and you dont!!! Please read all the following posts before you let them stick you with their venom this season.

HOW THE HOLIDAYS CAN KNOCK 25 YEARS OFF YOUR LIFE

Once, a large truck was driving through one of the busiest tunnels in New York City. The truck was so large; in fact, it got stuck in the tunnel and could not back up or move forward. Eventually, traffic became backed up for miles and miles. Dozens of traffic, accident, bridge, road, and truck experts were on the scene for hours trying to figure out what to do. Just as the situation and the frustration of the experts were beginning to get out of hand, a 10 year old little girl poked her head out of the window and said, “Why don’t you just let the air out of the tires.” The dilemma was resolved.

THEME: When Life and The World Are Not Working Out, Re-assess Everything!

Even though Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years make up a total of three to four days, most people just call November and December “The Holidays” (often rolling into January 7-14th). Since it is “The Holidays,” you become irresponsible and careless. You eat mass quantities, put all sorts of horrible “Holiday” items into your body, exercise less or not at all, miss adjustments, spend too much, and put important things off because after all, it is “The Holidays.” In total, you end up with a six through ten week reign of terror on your life, your bank account, and body.

If you add to these two months all of the other times you tend to abuse your health like; parties, anniversaries, other “holidays,” birthdays, weddings, weekends, secretaries day, etc., you are basically being irresponsible towards your health and many other areas of your life consistently three months out of every year (25% of every year).

By the time you are 40 years old, you will have spent 10 years doing serious, possibly irreparable damage to your body, your credit, and your purpose for living. This is another reason why people are supposed to live to 100, but only make 75(25% off)!

“The Holidays,” are a time designated to celebrate the many joys of life, to put others first, and honor God. On the contrary, they have become a time dedicated to shortening life and falling short of your God-given potential. Clearly, it is time to look at “The Holidays” from a new perspective.

Of the tens of thousands of sick and suffering people I have met, examined, and consulted, not once have I heard one of them say, “I wish I had done less for my health all of these years.” What they do say, in every case, is “I wish I had met you years ago.”

WELL, you have met me, please take advantage of it. Enjoy the holidays (3/4 days). Yet, keep your family alive, on purpose, and financially stable in the process!!

DUE TO THE EXTREME MENTAL, PHYSICAL, AND CHEMICAL STRESS BROUGHT ON BY “THE HOLIDAYS,” PLEASE ADD, DO NOT SUBTRACT FROM YOUR CURRENT ADJUSTMENT SCHEDULE AND THE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE YOU ARE TELLING ABOUT CHIROPRACTIC.

“Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.”
Mark Twain
