IN THE NEWS: PUBLIC HEALTH A CENTURY AGO — A SNAPSHOT Historical disease patterns show a shift from infectious illnesses to chronic diseases. Conditions like heart disease, cancer, and autoimmune disorders have become increasingly prevalent in modern times. Despite longer lifespans from medical advances, the quality of life has declined as modern medicine focuses on managing symptoms rather than addressing the root causes of chronic disease. Past generations maintained physical resilience through daily manual labor and movement, whereas modern sedentary lifestyles have contributed to earlier onset of mobility issues and frailty. Traditional diets consisted of fresh, unprocessed, seasonal foods from local sources, without artificial additives or preservatives; foods provided complete nutrition through whole ingredients and traditional preparation methods. Reclaiming health requires rejecting modern habits that prioritize convenience at the cost of your health and returning to fundamental principles — nutrient-dense food, regular movement, and minimizing exposure to environmental toxins.

WELLNESS: MY OPEN LETTER TO THE AMERICAN DENTAL ASSOCIATION Dr. Mercola In an open letter, I urge the American Dental Association to discontinue supporting water fluoridation, based on research linking fluoride exposure to reduced IQ scores, ADHD symptoms and thyroid dysfunction. Most Western European nations have rejected water fluoridation in favor of education, fluoride-free products and dietary improvements to address dental health concerns. I call for the elimination of mercury amalgam fillings, as research shows elevated blood mercury levels in patients with multiple amalgam fillings. The European Union implemented a comprehensive ban on dental amalgam in January 2025, while many other countries have restricted or banned its use, particularly for vulnerable populations. Despite global shifts toward safer alternatives, U.S. federal programs like Medicaid continue using amalgam fillings, disproportionately affecting vulnerable populations with limited health care options.

CHIROPRACTIC: WORKS WHEN OTHER METHODS FAIL "For years, I struggled with bloating, irregular digestion, and discomfort that no diet or medication seemed to fix. After starting chiropractic care, I was amazed to learn how spinal alignment could impact my digestive system. Within weeks of regular adjustments, my digestion became more regular, the bloating decreased, and I felt more energized overall. Chiropractic care didn’t just help my back — it truly gave me my gut health back!" — Sarah M., Age 34 "I was facing the very real possibility of back surgery due to a herniated disc and constant pain. A friend recommended chiropractic care as a last resort — and I’m so glad I listened. After just a few months of targeted adjustments and rehab exercises, my pain dramatically decreased, and my mobility returned. Today, I’m pain-free and surgery-free. Chiropractic care truly changed the course of my life." — Mark T., Age 48 "After trying to conceive for over two years with no success, I felt emotionally and physically drained. A friend suggested chiropractic care, and though I was skeptical, I gave it a try. My chiropractor explained how spinal alignment can impact hormone function and reproductive health. After a few months of regular adjustments, I was thrilled to discover I was pregnant! I truly believe chiropractic care helped restore balance to my body and made our dream of having a family come true." — Emily R., Age 33
