I saw a new patient yesterday who gave me a list of medications she is taking. The list was about 19 medications that she takes every day for various ailments. That's not a typographical error...19!!! Unbelievable.
What if we help her get off of just 3 or 4 of them. Do you think her quality of life would improve?
Whether or not this applies to you, I guarantee it applies to someone you know and love.
I'm not gonna lie, the video is kind of boring, so you can fast forward to the five minute mark.
Powerful stuff.

Why I've never gotten a flu shot:
I have never gotten a flu shot and here is why.
The effectiveness of the flu vaccine is exaggerated. The strains for the vaccine are selected a year in advance. That’s important for you to know because researchers guess on what strain will prevail each flu season. They have no other way of knowing. And if they guess wrong, the vaccine is useless.
So, many people who get the flu vaccine wind up getting the flu anyway. But it’s worse than that because the flu vaccine comes with some pretty significant toxins, like:
Thimerosal – a preservative used in multi-dose flu vaccines. It contains 49.6% mercury by weight.1 Mercury has been linked to brain injury, organ failure and muscle weakness.
Triton X-100 – a detergent and mercury derivative
Polysorbate 80 – a potential carcinogen
Formaldehyde – classified as a human carcinogen by the Environmental Protection Agency
What’s more, it really isn’t good for the very young or the very old – the folks who are supposed to need it most. For example, more people than ever age 70 and older are getting flu shots.2
Meanwhile, the University of Alberta did a study in which one group of people got a flu shot, and one didn’t. More people died in the group that didn’t get the vaccine … but when researchers looked more carefully and adjusted for other factors like existing health conditions, there was no difference between the groups.3
Children as young as six months are being recommended for flu shots, too. But get this: One study presented at an American Thoracic Society conference in San Diego revealed that children who took the flu vaccine had three times the risk of being hospitalized soon after taking the shot, compared to those who didn’t. For children with asthma, the number was even higher.
But this isn’t the only side effect of the flu vaccine. It can cause everything from headache, vomiting, fever and muscle aches to encephalitis, Guillain-Barre Syndrome4 and neurological disorders.
Here are some easy ways to avoid the flu without taking a shot:
Get a boost of Vitamin D. A study published in Nature Immunology this year found that T-cells – your body’s major infection fighters – don’t mobilize against viruses without vitamin D.5 Vitamin D essentially activates these cells and supercharges your immunity. So soak up at least 20 minutes of sun a day. And eat vitamin-D-rich foods like cod liver oil, eggs, milk and orange juice fortified with vitamin D, sardines, tuna, beef liver and Swiss cheese. Or you can supplement. I recommend at least 2,000 I.U.
Eat foods rich in Vitamin C. Eat plenty of citrus fruits, broccoli, beef steak and oysters. This will help you maintain a super strong immune system. You also can take supplements. I recommend 2,000 mg daily.
Add some immune-boosting herbs
Garlic is one of nature’s best germ killers.
Oregano oil and turmeric help prevent viruses and ease cold symptoms.
Green tea contains anti-bacterial properties.
Get plenty of rest. You need eight hours of sleep each day. By losing sleep, you rob your immune system of the energy it needs to fight infection,6 and you’ll catch more colds and flu viruses.
Exercise. Get some each day but don’t go overboard. Too much exercise can actually stress the body and weaken your immunity. Twenty minutes a day of varied intensity exercise is all you need.
Keep up your regular chiropractic adjustments, remember the nervous system controls the Immune system.
To Your Good Health.

Is Testosterone Therapy Safe?
A good question, and here's the answer:
Using testosterone therapy can be very, very safe. The trick is how you administer the testosterone.
FACT: Between 20 and 50 percent of middle-aged men have testosterone deficiency.
Many of these middle-aged men get testosterone-replacement therapy, but this is the big question. Is it safe?
Researchers from the Mayo Clinic, in a meta-analysis that combined the results of 51 studies, concluded that testosterone supplements increase hematocrit and hemoglobin, which thickens the blood. It also decreases HDL cholesterol (the blood GOOD cholesterol).
They have established that testosterone therapy did NOT result in premature death, prostate disease, urological problems, heart attack, stroke, or increased risk factors of cardiovascular disease.
Men can reduce the risk of thickening their blood by using testosterone creme. Unfortunately, injections cause “spikes in testosterone” that can stimulate the production of their red blood cells.
The results are right there in front of you. Testosterone therapy,in the form of crèmes, can benenefit many aging men. (Journal Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism, 95: 2560-2575, 2010)
