IN THE NEWS: Most countries woefully unprepared to fight resistant superbugs, says WHO Only 34 countries have national plans to fight the global threat of antibiotic resistance, meaning few are prepared to tackle "superbug" infections which put even basic healthcare at risk, the WHO said on Wednesday. In a survey of government plans to tackle the issue, the World Health Organization said only a quarter of the 133 countries that responded were addressing the problem. NOTE: because the medical profession could not control the use of antibiotics by their doctors they have developed a large population of bacteria that have learned a resistance against pharmaceutical antibiotics. If you’re used to using natural healthcare for infections you have nothing to worry about. Other than the fact these bacteria are not vulnerable to pharmaceutical antibiotics a healthy body can easily eliminate these. Natural healthcare enhances your own body’s immune system to eliminate these organisms.

WELLNESS: Acetaminophen, A Poor Choice for Relieving Your Low Back Pain Acetaminophen is the most popular pain reliever in the U.S., accounting for an estimated 27 billion annual doses as of 2009. With 100,000-plus hospital visits a year by users, it's also the most likely to be taken inappropriately. In fact, improper use, coupled with the drug's narrow safety margin, means "a large fraction of users [are] close to a toxic dose in the ordinary course of use," according to the Food and Drug Administration. But for the sake of discussion, let's ignore the safety issues for a moment. Is acetaminophen an effective pain reliever in the first place? Not for low back pain and pain attributable to knee / hip osteoarthritis. Painkillers are the number one cause for death among pharmaceutical drugs. Pain is your body’s signal that something’s wrong and turning that signal off is not only dangerous in the short term but because you allow a condition time to progress that could have increased dangers in long-term. Chiropractic seeks the cause and then corrects the cause. Be smart, choose chiropractic first.

CONDITION OF THE WEEK: Skin problems Many people don’t realize that chiropractic and natural healthcare can offer a solution to most skin problems. Unlike using antibiotics or steroids to suppress a skin condition we look for the underlying cause and work at correcting that. Simply not drinking enough water and thus not eliminating toxins through the normal channels your skin can be an avenue of trying to eliminate toxins and thus causing skin irritations. Colon problems, kidney problems, allergies, bacterial or fungal infections are just some of the issues that could be behind skin conditions. Don’t cover it up, fix it. Chiropractic works.

FUNNY BONE: The children were lined up in the cafeteria of a Catholic elementary school for lunch. At the head of the table was a large pile of apples. The nun made a note and posted on the Apple tray: "Take only one. God is watching." Moving further along the lunch line, at the other end of the table was a large pile of chocolate chip cookies. A child had written a note, "Take all you want. God is watching the apples."
