| Junk Food Nation |

Junk Food Nation The proper feeding of a child is so important, as his or her body is literally being created by what they eat. Sadly, most American children eat (and are allowed to eat) food that can only safely be called junk food: refined foods and sugar-laden foods and beverages. A steady diet of poor nutrition disrupts their health slowly over time, but sooner or later poor eating habits will take their revenge in the form of frequent illness, allergies, infections, adenoid problems, tonsillitis, weight gain, hyperactivity, learning disorders and a host of other ailments. These symptoms of illness are signs that their young bodies are, quite frankly, being poisoned. While children may burn up much of the excess sugars, chemicals and additives found in these junk foods, ultimately they will pay the price for their unhealthy "kid diet." Have you ever found it strange that kid's menus in restaurants offer only a slew of fried meats, French fries, macaroni and cheese, or grilled cheese sandwiches? Certainly no vegetables, healthy meats or other nutritious foods-those are for the adults (if the adults choose to order them). If it doesn't sound strange to you yet-perhaps it will soon. Children need healthy food perhaps more than anybody else does. Building their body out of a diet of junk food will not only affect their immediate health but will also, quite literally, limit their entire life potential. But, as everyone knows, junk food is so prevalent it's hard for many people (parents included) not to partake of this "quick-fix" diet. And that's no random coincidence. According to the National Institute on Media and the Family, advertisements target children as young as 3 years old. In 2002, junk food marketers spent an estimated $15 billion on marketing aimed at children. They know that children are persuasive "influencers" in every household, so if Johnny cries for purple Popsicles long enough, Mom or Dad will probably buy the product. The marketing ploys appear to be working as one out of every four American children are now seriously overweight or at risk of becoming overweight. Although the decision to purchase junk food lies with you, the parent, learning about the ways in which junk food marketers target your kids can help you protect them from these unwholesome messages Now consider the following statistics: *Americans spent $117 billion in obesity-related economic costs in 2003. *In 2000, Americans spent more than $110 billion on fast food alone. *Americans now spend more money on fast food than on higher education, personal computers, computer software or new cars. *Americans spend up to an estimated $50 billion a year on diet and weight loss. *The food industry has a $30 billion advertising budget. Even though we pay lip service to wanting better nutrition options, it's clear from the above facts that the healthy food message is no match for the junk food companies' advertising budget. Maybe the ugly truth is that Americans are more susceptible to ads than we like to admit. And if we find it hard to resist junk food as adults, just imagine what our kids face. Unlike most adults today, children are being raised in a world where fake, processed foods are the norm and French fries constitute a "vegetable serving" (since, after all, French fries are made from potatoes). Instead of being trapped in our Junk Food Nation, find out the nutrients your children need, what effects medications have on them, and how to raise healthy, drug free children at our MaximizedKids Workshop.

| 20.07.2009 07:20:49 | |
|
Fat-Burning Fitness Workshop Re-Cap Train your body to be a fat-burning machine: 1. Stimulate the release of fat-burning hormones Must stimulate the hormones that build lean muscle and burn fat: - Human Growth hormone - Testosterone Surge training exercises and strength resistance exercises stimulate growth hormone and testosterone and inhibit the fat storage hormone cortisol. Cardiovascular exercise stimulates the release of cortisol which breaks down muscle tissue, increases fat storage, decreases testosterone, and decreases immune system function post exercise. 2. Train your body to burn fat instead of burning sugar Short Bursts of high-intensity activity - Depletes glucose and glycogen stores which trains the body to burn fat - Your body will burn fat for the next 24-36 hrs after burst training exercises Lengthy, time consuming low-intensity activity (cardio workout) - Burns fat during the exercise period - Your body will burn sugar for the next 24-36 hrs after cardio workout 3. Nutritional Support for Burning Fat Pre-workout meal: – High fats foods should be avoided – Greens and Water are best! – Supplement L-Glutamine to speed recovery – 3g L-Carnitine to increase fat burning and increase lactic acid tolerance – 25mg Zinc to lower the adrenal response to exercise by 40%. Post-workout meal: – Healthy shake recommended with 25g Protein: helps your body build lean muscle mass. – 30-60 minute window post workout meal is essential or your body will burn muscle – Balanced carbohydrate & protein meal – Good fats (coconut milk, walnuts, almonds, etc) – Low Glycemic Index Fruit (Blueberries, Raspberries) Dr. Matt Frahm Pinnacle Chiropractic 262.439.9506 Tags: Hits: 1260 | Read more... |

CELEBRITY FATALITIES: Could they have been prevented? THE HEADLINES EVERYWHERE READ: "Michael Jackson's fatal cardiac arrest: The result of psychiatric drugs and painkillers?" In a May 2009 study (which was largely ignored by the mainstream US media) Jussi Honkola MD, at the University of Oulu in Finland, concluded that people who suffered fatal cardiac arrest were more likely to have taken antidepressants and other psychiatric drugs than those who survived. "Our study shows that medications may negatively impact a person's chance of surviving an acute coronary event such as a heart attack," Dr. Honkola warns. "With more people taking medications such as painkillers and antidepressants, the public needs to understand the potential risks and serious consequences." Mr. Jackson's battle with (legal) psychiatric drugs has been well documented. In court papers filed in Jackson's Santa Maria county case, Neverland security guard Chris Carter testified that Jackson was "taking ten plus Xanax pills a night." Additionally, Jackson had been receiving daily injections of Demerol, a narcotic painkiller. In high enough doses, Demerol can slow respiration almost to the point of suffocation, which can lead to sudden death by depriving the heart of oxygen, according to Dr. Douglas Zipes, a Cardiologist at Indiana University and past president of the American College of Cardiology. Demerol can also cause a sudden stoppage of the heart in patients who are dehydrated. The drug causes blood vessels to dilate, or expand, and dehydration would impede this stretching, leading to a dangerous drop in blood pressure and blackout, which can cause sudden death. Between an over utilization of surgery that ruined much of his life, the medications that he was addicted to, mind altering drugs that were impacting his decision making, and the combination of these drugs that finally ended his life, Michael represents the worst of what medicine does to people. I am certainly not defending the poor guy, as I don't know anything about him, but at best - he never stood a chance. It is unknown how Farrah Fawcett took care of herself. Being in Hollywood, it is unlikely she escaped without some overexposure to bad lifestyle and medicine. Certainly most of the people around her had severe issues. Given that she had colon cancer; chances are she was not living a Chiropractic lifestyle. Multiply these celebrities by millions and you have the state of the nation - and quickly becoming the world. Can you imagine what it would have been like if these stars had been regular patients in a principled Chiropractor's office? They would be traveling the world at the top of their game right now, instead of passed on while millions mourn. Our goal in Maximized Living is to introduce a way people view and receive health care. We do this through 5 Essential components of health and wellness. Had Michael and Farrah been educated on the principle of supporting health and function as a way to look and feel your best rather than interfering with drugs and surgery, their whole life stories may have turned out differently. Certainly, with much happier endings. Through initiatives in the US, Canada and now many other countries around the world in the sports, church, and corporate world - we are not stopping until we change the way health care is viewed and delivered. Please join us.

FEELING VS. HEALING Everyone knows the unanswerable question of “what came first—the chicken or the egg?” Well, when it comes to the body and the question of what comes first, the symptom or the disease, you may be surprised at the answer! Everyone would agree that the Central Nervous System (CNS) is responsible for the complete control of all functions in the body. This includes everyday maintenance of homeostasis and the ever necessary immune system response to surprise attacks from virus & bacteria. With everything that goes on inside it is amazing that we don’t actually feel these things happening. But your CNS is also responsible for what you feel. It may surprise you to know that it is only 5% of the nervous system that is responsible for you perceiving pain. For some, this is difficult to believe, especially when presented with excruciating pain. The other 95% of the nervous system is responsible for every function of every cell, tissue and organ in the body. Your actual life depends on this 95%, dictating how well your heart beats, lungs breathe, eyes see, how well you digest, hear, smell, and taste. Everything. The bad thing is you can impinge 95% of a nerve and not feel it as pain. However, you will witness the areas that the nerve innervates perform at a lower level. Then gradually, dis-ease will begin. Lastly, you may feel pain from the decrease in function. But before you ever feel anything, the impingement must first happen. This impingement of a nerve is called a Subluxation. Subluxations can be caused by a number of traumas beginning with birth and falls during the time we learn to walk and ending with car accidents and stress. These Subluxations, if left alone, do a great deal of damage to the body that you might not even feel until later on in life. I am sure you can easily see that by the time you actually feel something, you are already late. Unfortunately, many of us do wait until we feel a symptom to get help. It is understandable then that if the Subluxations have been present for years, then it will take time to correct them and the damage that they have done. In this case one of two things can happen when you are under corrective Chiropractic care. 1. You can feel better immediately, but does this mean you are fully corrected? Not necessarily. Remember, if it took years to get that way, at least give it some months to heal, regardless of what you are feeling. This way you can be sure the problem will not surface late because the cause is taken care of. 2. You could feel worse or stay the same for some time. But does this mean you are getting worse? Not necessarily. If it took years to get that way, it will take some time to correct. Pain is not a good measure of the health of your spine. Have a little faith; we heal on God’s time, not ours. Either way, the best thing is to correct the cause of the problem, not just rid yourself of the symptom or pain. We do want you to feel your best, but more importantly we want you to heal at your best level. And also of great importance, if you have taken the time to correct your problem, maintain your fine results. Your health is much more important than the oil you change every three months in your car! Make sure you let your family & friends know about Beach Week!! This week (June 29th-July 3rd) FREE Consultation, Exam, & Necessary X-Rays Don’t make them wait until they have pain before they start healing.

Nutrition Workshop Recap 6 Necessary Elements for a Cell to Thrive: - Nutrients - Oxygen - Water - Detoxification - Proper pH - Nerve Impulse Foods to Avoid: - Pork - Shellfish - Hydrogenated Oils - Fast, Fried, Refined Foods - Cow’s Milk - White foods à White breads, White rice, White pasta - Refined Sugar - Artificial Sweetners à Splenda, Sucralose, Equal, Aspartame, NutraSweet, o Sweet n Low - Soda Especially Dangerous Foods - Doughnuts - French Fries - Potato Chips - Fried Non-fish Seafood Your cells need nutrients to divide, replicate, heal, and create energy. You can’t create new cells from nothing. You must get these nutrients from the foods that you eat. However, all the foods we eat are grown on depleted soil with no nutrients. All food is either genetically processed, stored, canned, processed, and/or dead. Eating nutrient depleted and processed foods robs the body of energy, accelerates the aging process, causes weight gain, causes loss of lean muscle mass, decreased immunity, much more! You could literally drive yourself insane trying to buy and consume every nutrient that your body needs. You would have to spend your whole day taking supplements at different times in the day to make sure they did not interfere with one another. Now for the first time experience a multi-vitamin that allows you to absorb the nutrients directly into the cell with it’s organic carbon bond technology….IntraMAX.

GENERATION RX New York Times, July 7, 2008 "Cholesterol Drugs for Kids" Kids will now be screened for cholesterol as young as 2 years old and no older than 10…and in many cases, statin (cholesterol-lowering) medications will be recommended. 2 The Research Says that the risks far outweigh the benefits: "You can lower cholesterol levels with a drug yet provide no health benefits whatsoever, and dying with a corrected cholesterol level is not a successful outcome in my book." Dr.John Abramson, clinical instructor at Side Effects To Statin Use: Acute Liver Disease Neuromuscular Disease Myalgia (muscle pain) Headaches Skin Swelling Eczema Fatigue Sinusitis Depression Irritability Memory Loss Pharyngitis ADHD & Anti-depressant Medication: Children under 5 are the fastest growing population on mind-altering medications. 60% of all Foster Care Children – some as young as 2 or 3 years old are now on powerful psychotropic medications. Watch this video about all the abuse: http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2008/06/19/drugging-children-to-keep-them-quiet.aspx?source=nl The Wall Street Journal: Drugs' Links To Suicide Risk Draw Concern 1 Among the 20 best-selling drugs of 2007, six already carry warnings for suicidality, and one was the subject of a special FDA "alert" this year and is being further studied. The fastest growing population on these black box label drugs: Children & teenagers Neurologist, Dr. Fred Baughman:
DEA Congressional testimony: "Neither animals nor humans can tell the difference between cocaine or Ritalin & similar stimulants (Strattera & Adderall) when they are administered the same way in comparable doses. In short, they produce effects that are nearly identical." Dr. Tony Appel, Neuropsychologist: "We are taking away their future, their ability to relate to people…trust, love, caring, the ability to put themselves in other people's shoes. We take all of that away from them. We blunt their emotions." Everyday more and more children & teenagers are being diagnosed with these pseudo-labels and put on powerful medications that scar them for life. Every one of these labels are entirely preventable through Maximized Living…we see it everyday Right now there are sick & dying children & parents all over the place who don't know this– please don't let them suffer in ignorance.

| Cancer Care |
| 09.06.2009 17:23:14 | |
|
Cancer Care Currently, we have about a few patients under our care who were referred to us for help specifically due to their diagnosed malignant cancers. Whether it be cancer of the spine, breast, or prostate, they all seek chiropractic care for the same purpose……LIFE! These folks all have a few things in common: 1) Their fundamental understanding on how the Nerve System is THE master controller of ALL healing and function in the body. This principle precedes everything; including nutritional therapy, homeopathic remedies, relaxation techniques, exercise, and dare I say, chemotherapy. 2) Their urgent commitment to receive every adjustment/ appointment with daily scheduled precision to the minute. They look forward to each day’s adjustment with the same life-driving thirst as a plant has for water. For one day’s missed release of Innate Healing Potential into their body could mean the difference between life and death! Their situation is that delicate. 3) Spinal Rehab Care issues do not exist for these patients. It happens on each visit, no questions asked, no excuses. When your life hangs in the balance, work schedule, kids, hobbies, etc… all suddenly take a back seat to your survival plan. 4) Supplementation: Green Drinks, Fish Oil caps, proper hydration, and an alkaline nutritional regiment allow these patients to detoxify and create a “healthy inner terrain” conducive to healing. 5) An appetite to learn and to win: These are the “Champions” seated at EVERY monthly Life- Changing Power Workshop with their guests who become their healing accountability partners. I ask myself “why does someone have to wait until they’re dying to finally wake up and do what it takes to live?” Human nature, you say? The reality is the same breast or prostate cancer you are diagnosed with today actually began with loss of function (Subluxation) and a damaged Nerve System 10- 20 years ago. There’s only one difference between you and the person whose already been diagnosed with Cancer….TIME. Disease is a silent condition that develops NOW. Diagnosis and treatment is later- and for most people- TOO LATE! Prioritize your time and life now in correcting the # 1 CAUSE of CANCER- SUBLUXATION; a devastating, debilitating, degenerating condition of the spine that has been robbing your body of normal function and healing. Disease accepts no excuses!

Who Will Protect Your Family? Discover magazine, July 2008 issue: Dr.John Abramson, clinical instructor at "Our analysis suggests that lipid-lowering statins should not be prescribed for true primary prevention in women of any age or for men older than 69 years. High-risk men aged 30-69 years should be advised that about 50 patients need to be treated for 5 years to prevent one event." * Are lipid-lowering guidelines evidence-based? .

| Life, Death, & the Spinal Curve |
| 09.06.2009 17:09:04 | |

MEDICAL STUDY REVEALS CONNECTION BETWEEN LIFE, DEATH, AND SPINAL CURVES You are born in a “C.” Developing and curled up in the womb, your spine is simply C-shaped until you get out and start moving. If you’ve got kids, you know that once the baby is released into the world, they start to hold their head up. While doing so, they’re supposed to be taking the top of the C (the neck) and creating a reverse C or what is called the cervical “lordosis.” Once that reverse C is formed, they (or what was once -you) get stronger and begin crawling. When crawling, the bottom of the C (the low back) is reversed, like in the neck, and they get what is called the lumbar “lordosis.” The middle of the C (mid-back) stays in the shape of a normal C and is called the thoracic “kyphosis.” So its –NECK/LORDOSIS, MID-BACK/KYPHOSIS, LOWBACK/LORDOSIS. In the past, according to medicine, if you’re head jutted out, you developed a humped back, and your hips rolled under –you were just getting older or simply had bad posture. Today, medical science has uncovered a whole new meaning to losing or overly accentuating your curves. A shocking 2004 study in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society revealed that mortality could be PREDICTED by hyperkyphosis. An elite group of medical scientists, Deborah M. Kado, MD, MS, Mei-Hua Huang, DrPH, Arun S. Karlamangla, MD, PhD, Elizabeth Barrett-Connor, MD+ and Gail A. Greendale, MD, found that as the curve in the middle back, the kyphosis, became greater than normal, death came sooner. Now, another groundbreaking study published in the medical journal “Spine” Volume 30(21), November 1, 2005 pp. 2388-2392 revealed work done by Shimizu, Kentaro MD; Nakamura, Masaya MD; Nishikawa, Yuji MD; Hijikata, Sadahisa MD; Chiba, Kazuhiro MD; Toyama, Yoshiaki MD. This study once again shows the vital, urgent need for normal curves. They found that progressive kyphosis of the cervical spine (a loss or reversing of the neck’s normal curvature) resulted in destruction of nerve fibers due to chronic compression of the spinal cord. The damage is associated with both continuous mechanical compression and vascular changes in the spinal cord. Today’s cutting edge chiropractors no longer merely treat spinal pain. Utilizing this kind of research, chiropractic technology has been developed over the last fifteen years to correct spinal curves both restoring the loss of the cervical C-curve and reducing the humping/hyperkyphosis of the mid-back C-curve. These studies tell us conclusively what top chiropractors have known for years, that there is no replacement for the need to correct and maintain your spine throughout life. SIGNS THAT YOU NEED TO SEEK CHIROPRACTIC CARE IMMEDIATELY:

DARE TO DREAM I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character. One man, principled in thought and action and armed with the power of a dream worth dying for, has the ability to take the world by storm. Look at all of the individuals we cherish so deeply throughout history: Moses, Christ and the disciples, St. Francis, William Wallace, Churchill, Ghandi, Mandella, Mother Teresa, and of course MLK. Every one of them had a dream – a dream for peace, a dream for truth, a dream to end the needless suffering of mankind and rekindle their culture and/or the world to have a deeper spiritual relationship with the Creator. All of us have dreams, goals, and aspirations in our lives. Maybe you want to start your own business, lose some weight and improve your health, raise up strong, principled children, or move into a deeper relationship with God. Everyone has goals and dreams – so how is it that some people are effective in carrying those out, while others toil in an unsettling midst of mediocrity? “The problem is not that our dreams are too big and we fail to achieve them… it’s that they are too small and we do.” -- Michelangelo The 4 Rules of Olympic Success:
No matter what issues, stresses, health problems, relationship problems, etc. you may be dealing with, God put a warrior spirit within you to press on.

MAXIMIZED LIVING MAKEOVER Health: When nearly all 100 trillion cells in your body are functioning & healing properly. This is termed homeodynamic equilibrium. Disease cannot dwell in such an environment.
Homeodynamic Equilibrium & Health: Depends on cellular purity & sufficiency. Disease: A result of cellular toxicity or deficiency (not your genes or your luck) Most health programs fail because they focus on a specific deficiency or toxicity and not on the entire homeodynamic balance required for healthy function.
5 Maximums for Life & Health
Minimize the Use of Drugs, other Toxins, & Surgery: As if God's creation wasn't good enough, the modern culture has been completely transformed by man – pesticides, genetically modified food products, harmful home cleaning products, Teflon cookware, & the contamination of our water supply all pose serious health threats. However, the number one threat – that continues to kill more people than anything else is the mainstream medical model. Adverse drug reactions, hospital stays, and surgical mishaps destroy more lives (over 786,000) in a single year than any war in the history of mankind.
Maximum Nerve Supply: Homeodynamic equilibrium cannot exist & the body cannot heal without pure & sufficienct function of the Central Nervous System (CNS). Our spine is the protective shield that God provided to protect his healing system – the CNS. Most people in our society take better care of their car than their spine & CNS. Dangerous subluxations such as forward head posture, loss of cervical curve, & lateral deviations in the spine (scoliosis) put tremendous stress on the brain-body connection affecting every organ in the body This causes numerous pathological consequences in the body that if uncorrected lead to organ failure & early death.
Maximize the Quality of Your Nutrients: Optimal hydration & nutrient sufficiency are essential to power the 75 trillion cells everyday. Our society is chronically dehydrated, deficient in the quality omega-3 fatty acids EPA & DHA, alkaline salts, oils & green vegetables, probiotics, & natural living enzymes. As a result, our bodies are highly acidic, low-energy, fat storing, disease-producing machines.
Maximize Oxygen & Lean Body Tissue: Our bodies were created for movement. Exercise feeds our brain & tissues with oxygen and neural activation while eliminating the excess acidity stored in fat cells and building muscle. The epidemic of sedentary lifestyles is antagonist to life and the
Maximize Peace & Relationships: There is nothing more important in this high-stress environment than having a strong relationship with God. To second that, having an encouraging, uplifting connection with family &/or friends is essential to overcoming many of life's challenges. Effective time management, purpose/mission goals, & life-priority principles are what allow you to create the life of your dreams.
The 30-day Maximized Living Makeover Challenge is designed to help you radically improve your health in all the essential areas. The workbook & the interactive website accelerate your growth as you move out of a culture gripped by high stress & poor health, & instead move into the life of your dreams as you recreate the homeodynamic balance so necessary to life.

| Drugs for ADHD |
| 09.06.2009 16:51:58 | |
|
Drugs - First Option or Last Resort for ADHD? The above is the question being asked in a July 12, 2008 article on the Australian news website News.com.au. The article starts off by reporting that the Australian Federal Government has officially endorsed drugs, such as Ritalin, as the "first-line treatment" for children with ADHD. The article also reports that the Australian government's recommendations say that, "Parents have also been warned to ignore alternative treatments, such as diet and exercise, which the guidelines claim have 'limited or no benefit' in treating ADHD". This endorsement brought harsh criticism from many groups including the Australian Childhood Foundation, an advocacy group and charity that provides programs for children and parents. Their stated goal is to strengthen community responsibility for promoting the well-being and protection of all children throughout Dr Joe Tucci, CEO of the Australian Childhood Foundation noted in the article that it was dangerous to believe medication was the only answer, and commented, "It should be the last resort rather than the first. I think these guidelines will make over-prescription worse. The premise of prescribing medication as the first intervention ignores the causes of ADHD." The recommendations for drugs first was due to a set of draft guidelines compiled by the Dr. Jeanne Ohm, a chiropractor and president of the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association also weighed in on the argument by stating: "Today, parents are becoming more informed about health care choices for their families and are no longer interested in using potentially harmful drugs as treatment. More and more parents are recognizing that making improvements in their families' lifestyle is a safer and more effective way of restoring health and well-being. Nutrition, exercise, emotional behavior modifications are safer modes of care that work with the body's ability to be well. Dr, Ohm continued by adding, "Chiropractic care is another form of care gaining popularity with families because it works to reduce nerve system stress and enhance normal body function. In one large study evaluating more than 10,000 visits, parents reported chiropractic care for their children to be gentle, safe and effective. The preliminary results showed improved sleep, more pleasant behavior and an increase in immune system function in their children. I encourage parents to make informed health care choices for their children and to determine health care choices that support their children's natural, inherent ability for well-being." Dr. Tucci argued that the research being done is only on drugs and is funded by drug companies, "The research has been mainly conducted by drug companies who have millions invested." He noted that no other research on other means of treatment is being conducted due to lack of funding, "Research into the other treatments isn't backed." In an ironic admission, the chair of the ADHD guidelines working group, Associate Professor David Forbes agreed that not enough research had been done into alternative therapies. However, he defended the working groups recommendations by saying, "No one is saying kids go on medication and stay on it," he said. "There wasn't the evidence to support a positive reaction (for diet and exercise)." The article points out that the reality may be far different as children are being kept on these drugs for long periods. Leanne Komaromi, a mother interviewed for the article summed up the reaction of many to the Australian Governments recommendations by saying, "Parents should look at alternatives rather than accepting the first thing the doctor says," she said. "My doctor would have kept Dominic on medication till kingdom come." Dr. Frahm’s Comments: THIS Saturday!!! Generation Rx exposes all the lies about psychotropic medications and the ties to pharmaceutical industry which profits from this drugging of our youth.

| Cholesterol lowering drugs |
| 09.06.2009 16:50:35 | |

CHOLESTEROL LOWERING DRUGS: ONE OF THE BIGGEST LIES OF THE LAST 50 YEARS! Study after study proves high cholesterol is associated with longer life. Mainstream doctors tell us we should try to get our cholesterol below 200. Their advice is absolutely crazy! Among people of all ages, low cholesterol is connected to a higher risk of death from gastrointestinal and respiratory diseases. That discovery came out of 19 studies involving 68,000 people. In study after study, cholesterol drugs fail to save lives: · 2 major studies show Lipitor reduces your bad cholesterol by a huge amount but it doesn’t reduce your risk of death at all. In fact, you just die with lower cholesterol. · Crestor dramatically reduces cholesterol but saves no lives compared to patients on a placebo. · Pravechol saves no lives compared to a placebo…and could even increase your chances of cancer. · Zocor reduces your mortality risk less than 2% · A meta-analysis of 4 major statin drug trials showed no difference in the risk of death compared to placebo groups. · And at one point, the fine print on Lipitor ads actually said, "Lipitor has not been shown to prevent heart disease or heart attacks. · In 1987, the National Cancer Institute backed a big study of 12,488 men and women. They found that men with the lowest cholesterol levels were more likely to get cancer than those with the highest levels. · An article in the European Heart Journal confirms that low cholesterol is dangerous to your health. Examining 11,500 patients, they found those with cholesterol below 160 were more than twice as likely to die than those with high cholesterol. Yet the cholesterol lowering business is a $20 billion/year industry! Why do doctors keep prescribing these drugs? They pretty much practice in fear. They blindly follow the pharmaceutical reps. and the fake & fraudulent research they are producing by paying off big name research. PhDs at your local Ivy League university. If the doctors decide not to play ball and forgo the drug treatment, Big Pharma has a nasty habit of going after them & taking away their licenses. Your doctor does not have the time to read even a fraction of the research on heart disease and artery disease and the real causes. And most of what your doctors read is given to them by the pharmaceutical companies anyway. Would you agree that there exists a slight conflict of interest here? Who do YOU know that needs to get off meds and get on Maximized Living?!?!? Do NOT let them miss next Wednesday’s Smart Heart Talk at 6:30pm here at Pinnacle Chiropractic on March 18th!!!

| Normal Cholesterol? |
| 09.06.2009 16:48:49 | |
|
What’s "normal" cholesterol? "It’s whatever you’re doctor and the pharmaceutical companies making the cholesterol lowering drugs say it is! When they first launched the cholesterol scare, Big Pharma declared that anyone with cholesterol higher than 240 was at risk. This is nonsense—since there’s no connection between cholesterol and decreased death from heart disease. But how did they come up with the number 240? Well…They pulled it out of thin air. There’s nothing special about 240. The significance of 240 is that as many as one adult out of 4 has cholesterol higher than 240. They probably just chose that number so they could "treat" 25% of the population for a disease that might not even be a disease. And now they’ve changed the cutoff. Now they say you should get your cholesterol below 200! That way, they can claim HALF OF Try the following to lower your cholesterol naturally: 1. Regular Exercise - With regular exercise you can help your body to reduce stress, lose weight, increase metabolism, burn more calories, and more. Steady and regular exercise has been found to help lower cholesterol and reduce triglyceride levels. With regular exercise you can lower your body mass index and achieve a healthy weight. This helps you to reduce your risk for heart disease and diabetes. 11.
