IN THE NEWS: Patient brain dead, 5 others injured after French drug trial disaster One person has been left brain dead and five others are in serious condition after taking part in a clinical trial in France of an experimental painkiller made by Portuguese drug company Bial, the French Health Ministry said on Friday. Four of the six men hospitalized have "neurological problems"-- of which three could have "irreversible" brain damage, CHU de Rennes hospital chief neurosurgeon Gilles Edan said Friday at a press conference. Another man is being kept in the hospital, but is in a less critical condition. NOTE: Over 2000 people a week die from prescription drugs. Most of those are from painkillers, this news report just confirms this class of drugs is very dangerous. Covering pain up with drugs is not appropriate healthcare. Fix the underlying problem and the pain will go away. Tell your friends about chiropractic.
WELLNESS: How Your Mitochondria Influence Your Health Mitochondria are tiny inclusions in your cell, originally thought to be derived from bacteria. Most cells have several thousand of them comprising 15 to 50 percent of the cell volume. They’re the source of over 90 percent of your body’s energy. Your mitochondria have enormous potential to influence your health, specifically cancer, and optimizing mitochondrial metabolism may be at the core of effective cancer treatment. Important nutrients and co-factors for mitochondrial function include all B vitamins, magnesium, omega-3 fat, CoQ10, acetyl L-carnitine, D-ribose, and alpha-lipoic acid. Exercise is also important for mitochondrial health and function.
CONDITION OF THE WEEK: CRICK IN THE NECK can be caused by a joint problem, particularly the facet joints, which are two small joints in the vertebrae surrounding the neck. When the ligaments around these joints are strained, the muscles around them go into spasm, causing pain and discomfort. This can produce but usually just aggravates an existing subluxation. Proper sleep techniques are important in keeping your neck healthy. The nerves from your neck regulate and control structures within the skull, throat and across the shoulders to your fingertips. If you receive regular chiropractic adjustments you’re less likely to suffer from this condition. With that said if you sleep in an awkward position long enough you can initiate alignment issues with corresponding muscle spasms and the classic crick in the neck. Chiropractic adjustments, traction, mineral therapy, natural pain lotion, massage and moist heat can all be helpful. Aligning the joint properly is essential to prevent reoccurrence. Chiropractic is the best treatment on the planet neck pain.
FUNNY BONES: A man is sitting at the bar staring at his drink. A menacing biker walks up to him grabs his drink and downs it in one gulp. He slams the glass down in front of the man saying, “Yeah, what are you going to do about it?” The man breaks down in tears saying this is the worst day of his whole life. He says, “I got to a meeting late today and my boss fires me. I go to the parking lot and find my car stolen and I have no insurance. I take a cab home and leave my wallet in the cab. I get home and find my wife with another man and my dog bites me. So I decide to come here and end it all. I open the capsule and dump the contents into my drink. As I’m watching the poison dissolve you come and drink it in one gulp. But enough about me, tell me about your day.
