IN THE NEWS: Superbugs deploy ‘decoy flares’ like fighter jets to avoid being killed by antibiotics Scientists have discovered an astonishing new strategy deployed by superbugs in their evolutionary struggle with antibiotics – decoy “flares” which distract the drugs that would otherwise kill them. About a third of  MRSA bacteria, which kill thousands of people across the world, are largely immune to the current antibiotic of last resort. The rise of antibiotic resistance is causing increasing alarm with the prospect of a return to the days when a minor cut in the garden could be fatal and major operations were impossible because of the risk of infection. NOTE: I remember when this was front page news on the Journal of American medicine 30 years ago. Some of the suggestions then was to take prescription rights away from the average medical doctor because they were overprescribing antibiotics even for things like viruses which every 1st year medical student knew was ineffective. Now 30 years later very little change has taken place and the epidemic, that was warned about 30 years ago, is beginning. If you have a urinary tract infection try a natural approach 1st, if you have bronchitis don’t use an antibiotic the same goes with sinus infections 70% of those are yeast related. If you don’t protect yourself then you won’t be protected in a high percentage of the cases. Bacteria cannot develop resistance to natural methods like they do to antibiotics.

WELLNESS: Vega testing is the dramatic way of restoring health within the body. Unlike the use of dangerous pharmaceutical drugs that primarily suppress symptoms we focus on restoring health within the body in a way that dismantles the foundation for symptoms to exist in the 1st place. For instance if you have a headache that can come from multiple causes: hormones, toxicity, blood sugar, misalignments in the neck etc. Which of these do aspirin fix? Over the counter pain pills can damage your stomach, liver, kidneys, eyes etc. Health problems, by the time we see them, usually have a complex causative factors beneath the symptoms. With Vega testing we approach each of those causative factors in the order that the body is ready to handle them. In some cases we might work with different supplements related to different underlying causes for a particular health problem or symptom. Just because the 1st products we work with doesn’t completely resolve your condition doesn’t mean that’s not a necessary process to go through. True healing takes time whereas symptom relief, in some cases,  can be fast but then again you really haven’t accomplished much. When the oil light comes on in your car you can reach under the dashboard and clipped the wire to the light and the light will go out immediately. Just because you’ve suppressed a symptom doesn’t mean you have fixed anything yet. When you experience better energy, better sleep, better focus and less symptoms under natural healthcare that’s because your body is healing. Have you had a Vega test today?

CHIROPRACTIC: Chiropractic Studies and Research  1. Sciatica The European Spine Journal published the findings from a clinical trial last year uncovering how chiropractic adjustments resulted in a 72 percent success rate in treating sciatica and related symptoms compared to the 20 percent success from physical therapy and 50 percent from corticosteroid injections.. 2. Colic and Ear Infections A 2012 study published in Journal of Manipulative Physiological Therapeutics found that chiropractic adjustments greatly reduced colic symptoms. Although very few randomized control trials have been conducted describing the clinical effects of chiropractic care on children, literally scores of case studies have been documented that describe how children suffering from otitis media (ear infections), acid reflux and colic have experienced complete to near complete resolution after just a few visits. 3. Neurological Conditions Exciting research is currently being conducted via upright MRI showing how upper cervical adjustments affect various brain-based conditions. What we have seen so far is quite remarkable. Not only are MRI scans revealing that cerebral spinal fluid and blood flow are markedly increased after a chiropractic adjustment, researchers are observing that cerebellar invagination (when the cerebellum drops down below the skull line) is being reversed and brain plaquing (common in multiple sclerosis patients) is disappearing!

FUNNY BONE: Job interview in a psychiatry:  So you’re interested in working with us. What is your experience with mentally disturbed people? -I’ve been on Facebook for 5 years now.- Very good, the job is yours.@@ Some nice Chinese couple gave me a very good camera down by the Washington Monument. I didn’t really understand what they were saying, but it was very nice of them.
