60 Day Turnaround

The absolute best time of year. Period. I absolutely love Christmas for many reasons. One being my wife’s birthday. Yep, for those who didn’t know, she was born on Christmas Day… Eh hem… Some odd number of years ago. Well, actually an even number.

One of my goals is to make her birthday amazing each year. Some years I succeed very well, others not so much. But the special nature of a Christmas birthday coupled with the celebration of the birth of love… Awesome!

Christ came down to a dark world. Sometimes we fail to see it for what it was, but if we look at historical references and biblical truths, we can see a world full of hate and suffering. Christ was a light in the midst of this horror, and you cannot argue what he has done for the world.  Christian or otherwise, His legacy of Love lives, for 2000 years it has lived.  What a joy to be able to celebrate that.

So.  Given the most amazing story of love in all of history, of all time… it would seem that this time of year would be the easiest, best, most simple and relaxed time.  Celebrating love.  Nothing else, just pure love.  How else would we want to celebrate the Christmas season?

Yet, here I find myself finally completing this post, which began on Friday, then followed in an absolute flurry of activity for the weekend.  Painful activity.  We served at the Goshen Valley Boys Ranch in Waleska on Saturday morning.  And I must honestly say it was probably the most enjoyable three hours of my weekend, by far.  Everything else was stress and pain.  My family upset with me because I seemingly have a short fuse right now.  (notice the “seemingly”… you know, how you don’t see your own fault even when everybody else does)  I blame this on my tooth, which I had a root canal on last Tuesday, which went from a pain free tooth, to a PAIN RICH tooth in the last five days.  Perhaps a problem perhaps not… we’ll give it a few more days, but it does remind me of how much I hate the lack of certainty in healthcare (chiropractic not excluded).  The body is unique.  But, this is not my point.

My point is that this season is designed to be a celebration of the most amazing gifts.  Become a scholar… I’m not, but in the study of history, it is plain to see that this world was not a world of love before the birth of Christ.  I honestly do not believe that families could exist with any level of harmony that we exist today.  And we think our lives are horribly distraught for the most part… and that is with nobody hunting our daughters, or stealing our sons for war.  How could it be so bad today without those situations?  We might actually have it made… thanks to Christ.

So.  Stop in this moment, and regardless of your belief.  Be thankful for those whom you love, be thankful for those who sit across from you who you might not even know.  Get right with the world around you so that you can be right with the God above you.  I am going to take my tooth pain in stride with the knowledge that it is fleeting, even if it lasts a month… that is nothing in the scheme of life.  My family deserves so much more this time of year.  And so do you… and so does yours.

Be stress free, be blessed and be well.  – Dr. E

Our mission here at Healthsprout is to change the way the world views healthcare. We do what we can to get out into the world and spread this information.  That’s why we do talks, postural screenings, and challenges like the 60-Day Turnaround. As effective as these measures are, they will always fail in comparison of your impact on spreading the word. You are our greatest asset at pursuing our mission.

From my experience most people see chiropractic as simply a way to treat back pain, which there are a lot of chiropractors out there that base their practice on just treating back pain, which isn’t a bad thing since, according to the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NIH), nearly everyone will experience back pain that will interfere with their work. In the US we spend about $50 billion on low back pain in a year and it is the most common ailment to cause people to miss work and is the 2nd most common neurological condition here in the States (headache being number 1). So low back pain is a big deal, and chiropractic has been shown to be the best option for a quick recovery. We obviously know there is more to chiropractic than simply relieving back pain, a much more important aspect, the function of your nervous system, the ability for your brain to give life to the rest of your body. This is what sets us apart from most chiropractors and why we have so many miracle stories coming from our office. The problem is that most people don’t know this.

Some of you came here as a last resort, after the medical world had nothing to offer, no answer for you. For others you don’t have that story, and you’re here to prevent that situation down the road. Which ever reason you find yourself here, think about how you got here, for most of you it was a friend or family member that sent you through our door. Now think about how you feel about them sending you here, I’d bet most of you are pretty thankful they did. Like I mentioned above, you are our greatest asset to spread chiropractic and change the way the world views healthcare. We appreciate you for being a part of our mission and your willingness to tell others about what we do here.

If reading this has made you think of some friends, family, or co-workers that need to be here, ask one of us about our referral sheet and we will be happy to help you out with that.

Water Fluoridation by Dr. Mark Richards

Most people are aware of the fact that there is fluoride added to our water supply. I would guess most people don’t think much of it, and view it as just one of those things that is there and we just go along with it. I was reading through this article “50 Reasons to Oppose Fluoridation” and it makes you wonder why we still continue this practice.

I’ll summarize some of the article. In my opinion the two graphs above are reason enough to not fluoridate our water. They quite obviously show water fluoridation doesn’t seem to have any effect on our dental health. It’s similar to why we don’t vaccinate, it’s not out of a fear of what can potentially happen if we do, but because we don’t trust that they actually provide, or even improve immunity. Why take any risk, if the reward isn’t evident? These graphs show me that there is no reward to drinking fluoridated water.

Obviously there are other reasons, according to this article there are 50. Another argument against fluoride in the water is that its “bad medical practice.” Fluoride is added to the water as a medicine for promoting dental health. Every other medical treatment requires informed consent before it can be administered; therefore forcing it on the population is unethical. Also, the dose cannot be controlled as it is with any other medication. There is major concern for infants that drink formula that is mixed with fluorinated water. Mothers milk contains only trace amounts of fluoride when compared to tap water which can contain as much as 300 times the fluoride.

Why do we worry about fluoride in our body? “Fluoride is not an essential nutrient. No disease, not even tooth decay, is caused by a fluoride deficiency.” Fluoride will accumulate in the body, primarily in the bones and pineal gland. It has been shown to interfere with brain function and can alter behavior “in a manner consistent a neurotoxic agent.” It can also effect the thyroid gland and cause arthritic symptoms and the list goes on.

So what can we do? The first thing you should be doing is to stop drinking fluoridated water. Certain water filters can remove most of the fluoride. Reverse osmosis and deionizers should remove a good portion of the fluoride from tap water. Or you can simple buy spring water, which typically will only have trace amounts of fluoride. Don’t swallow fluoride toothpaste. It is wise to use non-fluoride toothpaste, especially with children because they are more likely to swallow it.  Other recommendations include avoiding fluoride treatments at the dentist; eat fresh food, not processed (always a good idea); buy organic grape juice and wine (a common pesticide used in many vineyards called cryolite contains fluoride); reduce black tea consumption; avoid non-stick pans; beware of fluoridated medications such as Cipro; avoid mechanically deboned chicken; and avoid fluoridated salt.

This simple product will begin changing your life!

Follow this story from the ABC News desk along with ESPN, read a small portion of the report, then lets discuss what it means –

http://abcnews.go.com/Sports/mumps-outbreak-puzzles-nhl/story?id=27568696

The recent outbreak of mumps has emerged as one of the most bizarre yet compelling storylines of the 2014-15 NHL season.

Multiple teams have been affected, several players have been sidelined, and meanwhile, we are all left scratching our heads about what exactly it all means.

Unless you were permanently scarred from that fateful visit to the doctor’s office as a child and have purged the memory entirely, you might recall the term “mumps” from your mumps-measles-rubella vaccination, also known as the MMR shot.

Mumps is a vaccine-preventable disease defined by symptoms such as fever, headaches, muscle pain, fatigue and swollen glands. It is a droplet respiratory disease spread person-to-person and generally from close, prolonged contact.

“We’ve had probably about five people impacted around our team out of about 50 people, so that’s about one in 10, and we figured everybody was exposed to it,” Wild general manager Chuck Fletcher told ESPN The Magazine’s Craig Custance at this week’s board of governor’s meetings in Boca Raton, Florida. “Ten percent of our team population contracted it. As far as I know, everybody received the immunization when they were young. We were all immunized again a few weeks ago. It’s been a tough process to go through. We’ve tried to take every precaution possible. It’s been a very difficult thing to get on top of, [but] I think we’ve done the best we can. We seem to have one player get it, a week off, and another player get it. It’s been frustrating that way.”

And there it is.  My argument has been the same since I first told anybody “We will not vaccinate our children”.  That argument, simply that immunization does not provide immunity.  Therefore I reject the term immunization, and suggest using only vaccination.  As the truth is that there is no guarantee of immunity.  As a matter of fact, it is only a smidge of resistance that is given in my best estimation.

So why have we seen such low incidence of these diseases if not for vaccine imparted immunity?  If you have done your research, then you have already seen the graphs that demonstrate the decline in disease prevalence, well before the advent of vaccines.  The reality, is that immunity was being developed, innately, well before man ever developed a vaccine.

So how?  Why?  I like this graph above because I believe in creation, and with that belief, it would make sense to me that there will always be another disease.  Ebola is a great example. and there will always be a natural response to that disease, just like the graph above.  I imagine leprosy could be on this graph as well.

Oh yea of little faith.  If you don’t have a belief in God, and creation, then have a belief in the statistical analysis of the graph.  And tell me that any of those vaccines above can claim victory.  HA!  The victory was won well before ANY of the vaccines, not just the ones on this graph.  All others look similar.  Polio might have the best graph in favor of vaccine effort, but even that one is much like the ones above.  Immunity came before.

Supposed vaccine experts speak of herd immunity.  The “chink” in the armor of vaccines, as they would say that the key to immunity, is keeping a WHOLE population vaccinated, so that there is no room for a viral attack.  My personal belief, is that this is the grasping for straws, that needs to come from a sold out theory with holes in it.

If I may, the reality of immunity, is immunity.  Some people have it, others do not.  Over time, living in line with health, and living in line with immune development, will provide greater opportunity for immunity.  If the herd has been vaccinated, it might assist in many people’s immunity, but it will weaken others.  Creating a gap in immunity because of the weakening of an immune system.  Which is why there have been outbreaks in these diseases since the beginning of the vaccine program, and it is the reason why these outbreaks are becoming more significant now.

We have chosen to pursue methods of false immunity which bypass our immune system development, leaving us weaker than ever before.  Couple that with the complete avoidance of “dirt”, the overuse of antibiotics, the relentless desire to use hand sanitizers, and we are left with a WEAK humanity.

Take a moment to pay attention to the health of the world around you.  Look for the positives and the negatives.  We are seeing some positive improvements in longevity, but we are seeing too many negative impacts on quality of life.  Learn from our mistakes and take away the positives.

CDC Says Flu Shot is Ineffective!

We have shown you year after year how the real experts have slammed the flu vaccine – such as written in this article here – Johns Hopkins Scientist Slams Flu Vaccine; yet this year the vaccine is even more ineffective than ever.  Our recommendation is that you NEVER get a flu shot.  The ultimate effect on your immune system is bad, simply because the ingredients have deleterious long-term effects on the immune system.

Why?  Because  –

source – http://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/parents/vaccine-decision/ingredients.html

There has never been a satisfying study providing statisitical analysis of antibodies developed to fight off influenza following a flu shot, and the CD has ALWAYS inflated the deaths to influenza that they share in their PR campaign when compared to their VERY OWN numbers published on their web site.  STOP!!

What??

Yes – they publish on their mortality tables, an average of 40,000 deaths per year from Influenza and Pneumonia.  In the table below, there are 53,826 deaths from the combined.  This is scary stuff, I don’t want to die from influenza, and that seems like a lot of people.  Well, their very own table, shows that the reality is that only 1,532 people died from influenza, mostly highly compromised individuals of significant age.  So first off… WHY are you running around so scared?  Because you think you’ll die?

The policies of this country are dictated to us because… BECAUSE of ONE thing… MONEY.  Those who promote, have jobs that are driven by, that become promoted via, the financial gains of their industry.  CDC is no different that private pharmaceutical when it comes to this.  Actually, the CDC is simply the development, or the proving grounds, for many to jump into larger opportunity in the private sector.  You are being mislead.

This excerpt from www.lung.org helps differentiate influenza and pneumonia further demonstrating that it normally comes from a bacterium, not from influenza:

Pneumonia can have over 30 different causes which include various chemicals,
bacteria, viruses, mycoplasmas (I)
and other infectious agents such as pneumocystis
(fungi). Certain diseases, such as tuberculosis, also can cause pneumonia.
Pneumonia also can be caused by the inhalation of food, liquid, gases or
dust. The most common cause of community-acquired (compared to hospital acquired)
pneumonia is the pneumococcus bacterium; infection by this bacterium
is known as pneumococcal disease. (2)
The pneumococcal bacterium also
causes meningitis, bacteremia, otitis media and sinusitis.

I can only hope you see the reality of this lie.  If the CDC will lie to you, and if the vaccine manufacturers will lie to you, to use fear to drive you to this choice… how can you trust them at all?

Well, back to the current topic in today’s media, which is the ineffectiveness of the flu vaccine.  I trust the science that tells me the flu accine is only about 1% effective in its best year.  But now, when the manufacturers, and the promoters are saying it is only 50% effective against the viral strain that has tested positive 91% of the time this year (Influenza A this year)… then the reality is that it is 0% effective.

Don’t put yourself through the damage of those listed ingredients for a 0% chance of help.  Where proven methods of building your immune system should be your goal.  These are the ones that SCIENCE has proven:

1. Increased consumption of greens and berries (especially those with red, blue or purple color).  Do not consume too much of the juice (none if we are talking about commercial juices), but rather the whole food, or if juiced then carbohydrate removed, you would have an effective product like this one – IMMUNE BOOST
2. Vitamin D – it assists in immune modulation, the simple answer to why influenza ramps in the winter, is because you become weak.  Less sunshine is one of those reasons.
3. Probiotics from complete sources.  Drinking these drinks from Beyond Organic are a great idea, as well as homemade or store bought kefir and kombucha.
4. Atlas adjustment – there have been studies that show an increase up to 20% of PMN Neutrophils following an atlas adjustment.  These neutrophils will become whatever you need them to become based ont he terrain of your body.  Bacterial killers, viral killers, cancer killers… you name it.  This is the major reason why we have seen close to 400 cancer patients as a major part of their treatment plan over the years.

So you have some choices.  Ignore the warnings, trust that culture has it right (really?  do you somehow think we are winning the fight against heart disease, cancer, allergies, arthritis, fibromyalgia, autism, Alzheimer’s, and more??? ), and just go about your business.  OR, stand up for truth, be inspired and inspire others to change the mess.

Be well and Be blessed.  God loves you, He made you,  don’t forget it.  Dr. E
