Hello everyone! What a terrific response I have gotten for this survey! This IS the greatest profession in the world and what a time to show the world what Chiropractic is REALLY all about. The immunization and danger issue is something we all should be telling our patients and friends about. The more research I dig up, the MORE I oppose it. The more I want to shake the parents by the collar and say „look at this¾..this is the damm truth¾ !! I have all of Doc Koren¼s research, Doc Websters material and tapes, all of Barbara Loe Fisher¼s and her colleagues work at the Nat Vaccine Info Center and piles of „medical¾ research showing the dangers. I have info from the AMA¼s Pediatrician Society (these are MD¼s) showing they are highly questioning vaccinations. How much more evidence do we need?? AS MUCH AS IT TAKES !! That¼s why I am conducting this survey, I want personal testimonials and facts showing unvaccinated kids are HEALTHIER than all others. I plan to release a book listing all the people who participate in this survey and showing how many kids are „doing just fine¾ without vaccinations. And being objective, I will report any problems as well. I am doing this for our profession and all the kids that deserve the best healthcare possible. If you can feel the passion in my heart, imagine it 100 times greaterä.that¼s where I stand on these issues. What better way to convince your patients then by showing them a book of testimonial facts. I think it will be extremely helpful.

My email box will not hold large amounts. Thank you and I may have to contact you for more details. And I will keep every one posted (thru doc joel¼s column) Personally, I am NYCC grad of 1999 and have been in my own practice in Colorado for one year and three months. I am loaded with passion, desire and the love of Chiropractic. I am detecting and correcting subluxations, I am a qualified herbologist and nutritionialist, and I am currently enrolled to be CCST (Certified Chiropractic Spinal Trauma) but more importantly, its much more than all the fancy names and degrees and whatever. It¼s about caring ..and helpingä and going the extra mile..and forgetting about making money äand remembering with each new patient that comes thru your door ..that YOU have something to offer besides your knowledgeä..a smile..and sense of commitmentä..a sense of pride..a warm heart and strong ears, and keen, gentle eyes..and a TRUE set of „healing hands¾.. I knew this profession would be great, but its been unbelievable and keeps getting better. But talk to the elder Chiro¼s ..our work has just begun..they did the tuff stuff (sat in jail, were ridiculed etc..) We have work to do.Educate.. make people understand how their body works..get them „unbrainwashed¾..The damm TV and media. Drug companies have poisoned too many brain cells for too long.. Things are different now „for the times they are a changing¾ It starts in your office..GO THE EXTRA MILE ää..and if you are burned out for whatever reason,..call me or visit me..No I might not have all the answers, and I am the „new kid on the block¾ but I¼m here to have some damm fun and help sick people get well.. Thanks for helping me with this survey. I¼ll be in touch. Remember don¼t email this backäsend in an envelope to Kirk Chirico DC POBOX 332 Limon, CO 80828 Tel 719 775 0706 fax 719 775 0706
