Dangerous Drugs
I ran across this article while waiting to get my hair cut. It lists 8 drugs MDs would not take for themselves or their own family. Better make sure you're not using them.
The list:

The list:
- Keflex-antibiotic that kills bacteria and your liver too
- Nexium and Prilosec-anti-heartburn drugs that cause pneumonia and heart attacks.
- Visine-as in eyedrops Visine... causes eye redness (I am not making this up).
- Pseudoephedrine-sinus decongestant that causes heart attacks and strokes.
- Advair-the asthma drug has a black box warning because it can often cause worse asthma.
- Avendia-for diabetes increases your chances of getting and dying of a heart attack.
- Celebrex-one of the few remaining cox-2 inhibitors left on the market still causes heart attacks in addition to the stomach bleeding and liver damage.

Award
Chiropractor of the Month! (think Oscar)
I am very pleased to announce that the Chiropractic Leadership Alliance (CLA) has chosen me as Chiropractor of the Month, August 2008 for the work I do on the State Board and the Military Care Program.
CLA is an international organization that recognizes one chiro from around the world each month. For chiropractors, this is like winning an Oscar.
As you may know, I was appointed to the Chiropractic State Board by Governor Deval Patrick in April 2008. The Board is made up of 7 volunteers, 6 of them chiropractors who issue licenses and regulate the practice of chiropractic in the State.
The Military Care Program gives access to pro-bono chiropractic care to service men and women who have been deployed since 9-11-01. I have spearheaded that program in Massachusetts and there is now over a dozen chiropractors in the state who participate.
I am very grateful for this recognition and accolade from my peers.

Slak Chiro Anniversary
Happy Anniversary to Us!
We are 21! Although I like the idea of being able to serve wine with your adjustment, etiquette would require me to share a toast with you. That would definitely end my adjusting day. Plus, the board of health might have something to say about it too. So instead of wine, we'll serve something even more special and delicious: adjustments!
On Friday November 7, 2008, we will host a $21 adjustment day. Actually, all our services will be $21 each. Adjustment? $21. Scan? $21. Reactivation exam? $21. New patient exam? $21. X-rays? $21. Nutrition or exercise consult? $21. Laser? $21. Woohoo!!!
I count on seeing you that day and please tell your friends and family to make an appointment especially if they have never been here or if they dropped out a while back.
Have a Perfect Day!

Say No to HPV Vaccine
I got this from my friend Neil Bossenger in New Zeland. I'm pretty sure it's straight from www.Mercola.com and it's worth reading and spreading around.
Be wise and be well,
Dr. Jean-Marc
Is the HPV Vaccine Worth the Risk?
Researchers are finally raising serious questions as to whether the HPV vaccine is really worth the risks involved. An editorial in the latest issue of the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) outlines the rising concerns.
First, Gardasil's long-term effectiveness is unclear. And because cervical cancer takes years to develop, critics say the current information is insufficient to determine whether Gardasil works. Then there’s the issue of side effects. FDA records reveal that, since Gardasil's approval, nearly 9,000 girls had adverse side effects after receiving their shots.
If you’ve been a regular reader of my newsletter, you’ll have noticed that each time I cover another article on HPV, the body count for adverse side effects from this vaccine has risen by several hundred or more… For example, on June 24th, I reported there were more than 6,700 adverse effects reported. Two months later, almost to the day, the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons state 8,864 reports have been filed.
Folks, this is a major CLUE!
Along with NEJM, the organization Judicial Watch has also published a damaging Special Report about the Gardasil vaccine. Based on records obtained under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), they summarized the approval process, side effects, safety concerns, and marketing practices related to the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine, calling it a “large-scale public health experiment.”
One of their most startling findings was the incidence of 78 cases of outbreaks of warts following the vaccination in women already infected without knowing it. In addition to genital warts, some women experienced large outbreaks on their face, hands, or feet.
Additionally, Gardasil was found to have an efficacy rate of –44.6% (that’s a minus sign) in women already exposed to the HPV types included in the vaccine!
Judicial Watch also uncovered that Gardasil was tested against an aluminum-containing placebo, rather than a nonreactive saline base, which can make the vaccine appear safer than it actually is – which appears to be the case, if you ask me.
The Insanity Continues
Despite all the risks uncovered and the skyrocketing incident reports of harm, vaccine proponents want to move on to the next frontier: older women, and young boys.
Dr. Raffle, a British cervical cancer specialist said it best: “Oh, dear. If we give it to boys, then all pretense of scientific worth and cost analysis goes out the window.”
I believe the mere suggestion already goes to show that this vaccine is nothing more than a cash-cow, offering little proof of any benefits whatsoever, especially considering how easily cervical cancer can be prevented without it.Be wise and be well,
Dr. Jean-Marc

Knee surgery for arthritis is useless!
Look at this article published in today's New England Journal of Medicine:
http://content.nejm.org/cgi/content/short/359/11/1097?query=TOC
I'll quote the conclusion: "Arthroscopic surgery for osteoarthritis of the knee provides no additional benefit to optimized physical and medical therapy."
That means that it doesn't work any better than exercise and inflammation management. Except that it has all the dangers of surgery. All the risks, no additional benefits....
This is noteworthy study because this type of surgery is almost routine and also because it is extremely rare for surgical procedures to be subjected to randomized trials. It is a powerful reminder that today's state of the art will probably be malpractice in 10 to 15 years.
As always, caveat emptor.

Eat Fish?
Fish Story
Everyone knows that they should eat more fish. It's good for you. The American Heart Association says you should get 2-4000 mg of omega 3 (EPA and DHA) per day.
An interesting study recently published analyzed different types of fish and asked "where's the ... omega 3?"
Remember Nutrition Workshop? The key to essential fatty acids is balance between omega 3 (anti-inflammatory) and omega 6 (pro-inflammatory). the authors inform us that "farmed salmon is by far the richest the richest source of arachidonic acid (bad) in most western diets and raises important questions regarding it's consumption". In fact, farmed tilapia has such a lopsided fat profile that "the inflammatory potential of hamburger and pork bacon is lower than the average serving of farmed tilapia".
This doesn't mean that bacon's good for you, it illustrates how bad farmed tilapia is.
The take away from this is that "our research reveals that certain intensively farmed species of fish contain PUFA profiles that have been shown to be detrimental to human health".
The score on good fish-bad fish fatty profile:
The winners are (all wild):
The losers are:
Dr. Jean-Marc
PS. If you are wondering what's the difference between omega 3 and 6, if PUFA and arachidonic acid sound like foreign words, it's a sign. A sign that you need to come to the next Nutrition Workshop.

Healthy Foods for Kids
Back To School Foods
Every year it feels like we have to reinvent the wheel when it comes to sending food and snacks to school with the kids. For some reason, after a summer of easy schedule and everyone eating the same thing at the same time, we experience a few days of tension getting back up to speed.
This is actually a wonderful opportunity to reexamine our choices and habits. Remember the cardinal rules of nutritious food, some elements are desirable: high nutritional content, unprocessed, organic and complex carbs for example. On the other hand, many ingredients should be avoided. In particular foods must have no trans fats, no excitotoxins, no processed sugars or processed grains.
Specifically, our kids need Omega 3 supplementation and they must have none of these ingredients:
- Hydrogenated or Partially Hydrogenated oils.
- Natural Flavors (unless the food is certified organic)
- High Fructose Corn Syrup
- Artificial Sweeteners
These ingredients should be avoided or used in extremely limited amounts:
- Safflower, corn, canola, cottonseed oils.
- Fried foods
- White flour (its white if it doesn’t say whole wheat in the ingredients list)
We also make our kids lunch most days. It's just easier to make good choices when all the ingredients are wholesome.
If you have any questions regarding food recommendations, please plan to attend my next Nutrition Workshop. I wish all of our students a healthy and enriching school year!

A few simple things will greatly enhance the longevity of your adjustments as well as the rate of progress and degree of correction you can achieve through chiropractic care. Here are the 10 actions you need to take to get the most out of your care.
- Walk for a couple of minutes after your adjustment before getting back in your car.
- Never wear a wallet in your back pocket.
- Avoid sugar. Of course, all the other Nutrition Workshop recommendations regarding artificial sweeteners, trans fats and high fructose corn syrup apply here too.
- Take Omega 3 supplements. they are essential to your body, particularly when healing is taking place.
- Minimize alcohol consumption.
- Smoking retards all healing and compromises health. Stop now!
- Give yourself enough time to rest and recover. Pay attention to this during the day as well as at night.
- Wear proper footwear. Please make sure you bring us all your athletic shoes for assessment. You would be amazed how poorly some of them are made.
- Use these shoes to exercise regularly. Movement is life, you need the exercise to regain and maintain health and wellbeing.
- Follow your recommended visit schedule!

Caden Grows
New Baby Pictures!
Mom says: There was never a doubt in my mind that my baby would be adjusted within days of being born. Only 18 hours after his birth, Caden Patrick had his first adjustment! Only an hour and a half later, he had his breathing tube removed! I am still amazed at the miracles of chiropractic. Our situation proves that life can surprise you when you least expect it. I worked hard to take care of myself during my pregnancy and never suffered a day of morning sickness. However, baby Caden wanted to make his way into the world early, at 32 weeks. Although we had planned a natural home birth, we were blessed to be near one of the best hospitals in the world when I went into labor. Temporarily relocating to Boston from Atlanta has not been easy, but with the love and support from Dr. Linda and Jean Marc Slak has made the transition much easier. Our love for Caden grows more and more each day and we look forward to finally bringing him home!

Baby Miracle
Yes, it's me and Dr. Linda, adjusting a 4lbs premy baby. He was born 2 months early. When I saw him, he had a feeding tube and was on a respirator.
3 hours later, I got a call from his Dad... he was off the respirator, his lungs were doing the job on their own!
Your body, like his, knows what to do and how to do it. It just needs to have no interference with the natural process. Chiro adjustments remove interference so the body can recover, heal, thrive!
Congratulations Carly and Jason!

HPV Vaccine
Dear Patients and Friends,
As you all know, I recently received my certification in Pediatrics. It is my mission to help as many children as I can in my lifetime to be as healthy as possible. I feel it is my job to keep up to date with the latest research concerning our children’s health and well-being. One of the most alarming statistics to me is the rate of Autism in our country. It is now 1 in 60 children who will end up on the Autism spectrum! The fact is, Autism did not exist before the implementation of nearly 70 doses of vaccinations to our children in their infant and early childhood years. Do you think there is a connection? Needless to say, allergies, asthma and almost epidemic proportions of diabetes are also issues of concern. If you take the time to study, you will discover, as I have, that the immune systems of our children have been compromised. It is so easy to find the scientific evidence of this with the use of the internet today.
As I sat and listened to Barbara Loe Fisher of the National Vaccine Information Center, I realized that there are very few health care providers willing to inform their practice members of the truth. Upon my return last evening, I was checking my email and discovered the information reported by Dr. Mercola regarding the Gardasil vaccine. It is all that I have seen and heard already regarding this vaccine and wish to pass on to you. http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2008/05/10/the-hpv-vaccine-preventive-care-or-human-sacrifice.aspx
Your pediatrician is providing this vaccine to your daughters and, soon to your sons, as part of their routine physical at the age of twelve! In most instances, they do not even offer you a choice. Rather, they state that your child will receive the first of three shots as if it is required. In my opinion, our children are treated like human lab rats being experimented upon and I would prefer to take the wait and see approach before causing irreversible damage of possible sterility or even death in my child.
We have to decide whether Merck has our children’s best interest at heart. Ask your pediatrician if they have or would give this vaccine to their own children? Do you know that many medical doctors do not vaccinate their own children? Do you wonder why? I would be happy to give a presentation on this topic to your community or at our office. Please let me know if you are interested in helping me to help protect the future health of our children.
As always, you can contact me for more information. If I don’t have the answers, I will be happy to research them until one is found. I encourage you to look at all of the research. The final decision is in your hands. I just don’t want anyone coming back to me after their child has become sterile or suffered from any of the other side effects and ask, “Why didn’t you tell me?”
Yours in health,

- nutrition
- Exercise
- Rest
- Mental attitude/Stress control

Drugs Use-Up Nutrients
Thanks Dr. Linda for forwarding this to me.
It is worth a glance and a forward if you know people who use these drugs.

Statins Drugs a Hoax?
The Truth is Out!
Great article in Businessweek magazine. Here is the link.
http://www.businessweek.com/magazine/content/08_04/b4068052092994.htm?chan=magazine+channel_top+stories
Here are a few quotes from that article.
"What if you put 250 people in a room and told them they would each pay $1,000 a year for a drug they would have to take every day, that many would get diarrhea and muscle pain, and that 249 would have no benefit? And that they could do just as well by exercising? How many would take that?" asks drug industry critic Dr. Jerome R. Hoffman, professor of clinical medicine at the University of California at Los Angeles.
"We should tell patients that the reduced cardiovascular risk will be replaced by other serious illnesses," says Dr. John Abramson, clinical instructor at Harvard Medical School and author of Overdosed America."
Bottom line: regular chiro care, exercise, proper diet and omega 3 will clean the clock of most drugs for most problems when it comes to preventing disease and maintaining health and well being.
See you for your really smart idea adjustment soon and bring anyone you care about because this is the real effective answer!

Cold Laser
Magic Light
This is an article about cold laser that recently appeared in Business Week.
http://www.businessweek.com/magazine/content/07_47/b4059062.htm?chan=search
It is interesting to note that we are seeing nice results with nerve regenerations and amazing results with pain in the office with the laser.

Wellness Care Pays Off
You do the Math.
Anthony is a healthy, very active young professional. He has a successful career, a house and a dog. He races mountain bikes and spends weeks scuba diving in exotic tropical waters. His vision of health extends to the concept of wellness. In other words, he has realized that a) what you do today dictates your future health and wellbeing and b) it doesn’t make sense to settle for feeling good when health-wise, you can be great and consistently get better and better, do and have it all. All this means that smart choices today will keep rewarding you for years to come. That includes regular, long-term chiropractic care.
Of course, life happens, and Anthony has occasional run-ins with the realities of the laws of nature (especially gravity). So it turned out that a few weeks ago, Anthony shoveled snow. And was stressed out. And shoveled some more. And lifted children, a lot. Next day, his back hurt. You know the kind of hurt that makes you wonder if you can make it to the bathroom because the pain is so severe. That kind of hurt. Worse because Anthony had a similar experience 10 years ago (in his pre-chiropractic days) and had to spend 8 weeks in a drug-induced fog. He was concerned about what was in store for him. I would have been also if that was my history.
So, into the office crawls Anthony, wincing, crooked and tender, looking for adjustment. Since Anthony gets checked regularly, it takes just a couple of visits to get him back on track and before you know it, he has resumed his normal activities. This is one of the most powerful benefits of regular care that Linda and I have observed through our career; getting back up to speed takes our patients just a fraction of the time that it takes people who are not adjusted before they get hurt. In essence, chiropractic care has a protective effect. For Anthony, it was 1 week of dysfunction and pain versus eight wasted weeks of agony. You do the math.
Knowing that stuff will happen in life, this is equivalent to driving a car knowing that some day, you’ll have an accident. Would you rather take your chances in a cardboard car or would you rather be in a Volvo when it happens? Regular chiropractic care is your health care Volvo.
OK, let’s get real, are you letting your spouse and kids tool around in a cardboard car or are you making sure they have Volvo health strength and proactive protection?
