Tetanus: To Shoot Or Not To Shoot

By:  Dr. Amy Haas A few months ago a friend of mine mentioned that they had just been to the E.R. for treatment for a cut sustained by a piece of glass.  My friend said that the nurse had asked whether they were “up to date” on the tetanus vaccination; and when he said “no,” the nurse clucked her tongue and immediately insisted on giving my friend a tetanus shot, citing it as a necessary treatment for his wound. HOW MANY THINGS DO I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH HERE? 1.  Tetanus is a condition caused by infection with the bacterium […]

Do Pesticides cause Parkinson’s?

There is a great new Mercola.com article titled, US Study Links Pesticides to Parkinson’s.  Before reading it, I thought, “Of course they cause Parkinson’s”, and as I read the article, I thought “there needs to be more meat here”! So here I am, providing the meat for the argument against pesticides, and for organic farming and agriculture, so that we can all try to avoid another stupid man made disease!  In my toxic body presentation I discuss the presence of Arsenic in many pesticides and Uranium in some fertilizers.  Uranium, as you can imagine, is not something you want to get […]

I am a FAT consumer

I sometimes mention to my patients that I recommend a HIGH FAT diet, and they laugh.  What shocks me, is that anyone in my office would not at this point, realize that anything that I say that poses as contrary to culture, is likely my truth!  But I am not really shocked by their response, because even though in the health world (you would be amazed if you were tuned in to the major health sites (Dr. Mercola: Mercola.com, Mike Adams: naturalnews.com, Mark Sisson: marksdailyapple.com) how many articles exist supporting a high fat diet.  It is by far, the most popular […]

Your Health Plan

We are in the middle of a Body By God Challenge right now, and honestly, it isn’t the MOST challenging test that we do, but what is great about it, is that it focuses a little on ALL aspects of health.  The reason why this is so important, is that everyone lacks health in some area.  Whether it be in your nervous system function (chiropractic), your diet, your exercise, your stress levels and peace, the overall cleanliness of your life, or perhaps your time… there is something lacking. So by touching on every area, we really get to help direct […]

SuperBowl MVP has been adjusted since birth…

Kind of a cool, and overlooked stat, is that the SuperBowl MVP, Aaron Rodgers of the Green Bay Packers, has been adjusted his entire life.  Yep, Aaron’s father, Ed Rogers, is a Chiropractor in Chico, CA, and has provided his son with chiropractic care, and the chiropractic lifestyle since he was born! Its kind of cool, looking at the athlete who has gained the most media exposure in the last month, and will have incredible opportunity handed to him over the next year to lead and direct people.  And to know that he grew up in a principled chiropractor’s family.  […]

Chiropractic and Quality of Life

 http://www.jvsr.com/index.asp There have been some great studies over the years on Chiropractic and Quality of Life.  I stumbled across this reference, and thought about the simple approach to health that we take in the chiropractic health model, and how that simple approach is still the absolute most effective. “A study published in The Journal of Vertebral Subluxation Research in August 2004 shows that a healthy spinal column can improve posture, reduce stress and increases range of motion when performing various exercises. People who undergo regular chiropractic treatment sessions may also take better care of themselves by exercising regularly, getting enough sleep […]
