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,

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.
