Dear Doctor, Here's your next newsletter. Make it yours by adding your name, photo, logo, address, phone, birthdays, patient of the month - whatever you like. And don't forget to blind copy everyone you send it to. If this newsletter is too long for you, you can easily cut something out and use it next month, or some other time. I'd rather you complain I'm sending you too much rather than too little. Many doctors are, in addition to sending it via e-mail, also printing the newsletter and distributing it in their offices, at health fairs, spinal screenings and/or mailing it. If you don't have a good printer you can always put this newsletter on a disc and have someone with a good color printer print it for you, or you can go to Kinkos or some other copy place and they'll do it for you. I'm going to send out a newsletter in formatted form again as a bonus to you. For support write to jemichael@gowebtek.com and John will help you send it out. Also please write to me if you have any questions, comments or suggestions at tkoren1@aol.com (By the way, if you are not in the US, please substitute the government official and capital city of your choice in the joke at the bottom.) Tedd PS If you'd like us to send it out for you to your e-mail list the cost is $29.95 a month, (plus a one-time start up fee to create a special template for your photo, logo, address, phone number etc.). We started this service (to begin with the July 21st issue) because some subscribers felt that they were overwhelmed sending out the newsletter, or were not very computer literature (like me) or just simply wanted more time for other things. For those of you that wish to use this service please write to John at the above address. Don't forget to delete everything above.
Welcome to our office newsletter. Please feel free to forward it to your friends and relatives. What Is Chiropractic? Chiropractic is a system of health care that releases a most serious form of stress from your body: spinal nerve stress (also known as the vertebral subluxation complex). Spinal nerve stress can affect your nerves, muscles, internal organs, discs, bones, brain and weaken your overall health. A doctor of chiropractic is specially trained to determine if you have spinal nerve stress and can release using a simple, painless procedure known as a chiropractic adjustment. Chiropractic has become the largest drugless health care profession in the world because it has helped millions of people recover from sickness, disease, and disability and minimize the use of drugs and surgery in their lives! What is an Adjustment? What exactly am I doing when I place my hands on your spine and give you a spinal adjustment? I am freeing your nerves from severe stress, balancing your spine, relaxing muscles, ligaments, discs and tendons; and permitting your body to heal - I am helping awaken your "inner doctor." Chiropractors spend years mastering this procedure. I ask myself the following questions (among others) before giving you an adjustment: Many chiropractors would also include in the checklist a certain "feeling" when an adjustment is just right. This "feeling" can't be put into words, some may call it intuition while others call it "experience." Your Body is Always Trying Your body is always trying to realign or adjust your spine. The back muscles are continuously working to pull the vertebra back to where it belongs. I don't actually put the vertebra back in place - I supply just the little bit of energy needed to free the vertebra so your body will realign it. Want to live to be over a hundred? With more people living past 100 researchers are now able to study them in greater numbers and they're finding interesting things. "Those who make it close to the 100 mark and beyond are the type who avoid hospitals and doctors whenever possible. When ill, they tend to be optimistic about recoveryä[they have generally] good health habits. Most avoid smoking, watch their weight and exerciseä.their most common characteristic is a feisty spirit and a sense of independence. "According to researcher Belle Boone Beard author of 'Centenarians' they have 'a tried and true individuality, tempered, like steel, under the heat and pressure of life over time.' Centenarians also have been practicing preventive medicine all of their lives. Amazing as it sounds the majority studied by Beard had never seen a doctor. Thus, they avoided the iatrogenic (doctor-induced) diseases, accidents and overmedication that plague so many of the elderly." Letter from the publisher. Journal of Longevity Vol. 6 No. 3 p. 3 Breast Feeding "Study after study shows, for example, that babies who are not breastfed have higher rates of death, meningitis, childhood leukemia and other cancers, diabetes, respiratory illnesses, bacterial and viral infections, diarrheal diseases, otitis media, allergies, obesity and developmental delays. Women who do not breastfeed demonstrate a higher risk for breast and ovarian cancers." Grant, JT. Former Director of UNICEF. July/August 1994. Baby Friendly Hospital Initiative Newsletter. "Breastfed children are half as likely to have any illness during the first year of life." Baldwin EN and Friedman KA New Beginnings Jan-Feb 1996. Words of Wisdom "The true nature of anything is the highest it can become." Aristotle "The arrival of a good clown exercises more beneficial influence upon the health of a town than twenty asses laden with drugs." Thomas Sydenham, 17th century physician "It is impossible to separate between physical needs and spiritual needs. The spiritual transforms into physicality and the physical rises to become spiritual in a perpetual chemistry of exchange. Heal the soul and the body is renewed. Heal the body and the soul is empowered." Lubavitcher Rebbe Chiropractic and Spinal Research Did you know there are thousands of papers on the wonders of chiropractic.

Asthma and Chiropractic 47 asthma sufferers age 7 to 42 received chiropractic care for 4 to 8 weeks. All 47 showed significant improvements in symptoms (from 87 to 100 percent). Many of the patients were able to completely stop use of asthma medication. At a two-year follow-up, all 47 of the patients also reported that they maintained the improvements they made at the beginning of the study. Amalu WC. Chiropractic management of 47 asthma cases. Today's Chiropractic Vol. 29 No. 6 November/December 2000 Lumbar Discs and Spinal Care Know anyone contemplating back surgery for a disc problem? Chiropractors have helped countless people avoid spinal surgery for over a century. Even medical journals are describing the success of spinal care.

Anorexia Nervosa and Chiropractic A.S. a 23 year old had been diagnosed with anorexia nervosa; chiropractic spinal analysis revealed vertebral subluxations in her upper and mid neck. She received a single chiropractic adjustment which resulted in complete resolution of her condition. A follow-up two years later showed that the condition never returned. Burnier, A. The side-effects of the chiropractic adjustment. Chiropractic Pediatrics Vol. 1 No. 4 May 1995. Enuresis, Toe Walking A six year old boy with nightly nocturnal enuresis (bedwetting) and toe walking was brought for chiropractic care. The medical specialist recommended that both Achilles' tendons be cut and both ankles be broken to achieve normal posture and gait. Chiropractic findings included subluxation of atlas, occiput, sacrum and pelvisä At this writing, after 4 weeks of care, toe walking decreased 50% and bedwetting decreased to 2-3 times/week. His MD could not believe how chiropractic helped so much. Crystal, R. International Chiropractic Pediatric Association Newsletter May/June 1997. Humor A little boy wanted $100 badly and prayed for two weeks but nothing happened. Then he decided to write GOD a letter requesting the $100. When the postal authorities received the letter addressed to GOD USA, they decided to send it to the President. The President was so impressed, touched, and amused that he instructed his secretary to send the little boy a $5.00 bill. The President thought this would appear to be a lot of money to a little boy. The little boy was delighted with the $5.00 and sat down to write a thank you note to GOD, which read: Dear GOD, Thank you very much for sending the money but, I noticed that for some reason you had to send it through Washington D.C. and, as usual, those jerks deducted $95.00.
