DIET: Factory Farm Model Fails Again—Produces Virus That Has Wiped Out 10 Percent of US Pig Population in One Year Did you know that over the past year, nearly 10 percent of the entire swine population in the US has been wiped out by a highly lethal virus? The virus, called Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea virus (PEDv), has been—at least in part—traced back to pig's blood used in piglet feed. It appears this may be yet another example of the inherent dangers of the factory farm model, and why the "cannibal" solution, i.e. feeding animal parts back to the same species of animal tends to be a bad idea.

These may occur even in highly vaccinated populations because the vaccine itself is not a guarantee of long lasting immunity and even two doses of MMR vaccine can fail to protect, according to Dr. Poland.

Do you have pain or soreness in your teeth? Do you find it difficult to open your mouth wide? Does your jaw ever get stuck/locked as you open it? If you answered "yes" to some of these questions, you may have a temporomandibular joint disorder, or TMD. Chiropractic can help. If you or someone you know has this problem makes an appointment and start on the road to a pain free life.

FUNNY BONE:The Feminist A radical feminist is getting on a bus when, just in front of her, a man gets up from his seat. She thinks to herself, "Here's another man trying to keep up the customs of a patriarchal society by offering a poor, defenseless woman his seat," and she pushes him back onto the seat. A few minutes later, the man tries to get up again. She is insulted again and refuses to let him up. Finally, the man says, "Look, lady, you've got to let me get up. I'm two miles past my stop already."
