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,
Dr. Linda Slak

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!

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?

Changing Lives
Changing Lives
While having lunch with my friend Mark and the conversation inevitably turned to the work Dr. Linda and I do. Mark is a regular reader of my blog (drslak.blogspot.com) and he remarked on the wonderful enhancement Dr. Linda’s new knowledge and skills are to the practice. Mark is a very keen observer and I frequently seek his insight.
After I recounted some recent “miracles”, he said that our business is really about changing lives. That was an ah-ah moment for me. Indeed, we are not about bad back and neck cricks. We’re not about PMS or enuresis, asthma or ADHD. All these are great to help but they what we do. Who we are, what we are about, is serving people, more specifically, changing people’s lives.
We change lives when we enable your body to function at its magnificent best. Lives change because pain goes away, symptoms abate and wellbeing is restored. Quality of life is more than a concept in our office; it’s the end product of our work. We change lives because it is not only the people we put our hands on who benefit but also their family members. Think about the shift in responsibilities and duties when a Mom or Dad isn’t well, then gets better. How about the quality of life of entire families when a child gets well and sleeps?
We change your life for the better, step by step, over time. In this Holiday season, do you know people whose lives could be better? Give them the gift of health, bring them to our office. We’ll change their lives.

Snow
Snow 101
Shoveling snow is one of New England’s facts of life. As a chiropractor, I get to not only do my share of shoveling; I also get to fix you after you shovel. In my 20 years here, I have learned the keys to successful snow management. I considered writing a book entitled “A Chiropractor’s Snow Shoveling Secrets to a Better Back” but instead, I’ll just tell you.
The first item to consider is whether someone else could do it for you. That is the ultimate back protecting strategy. (In the book, I would have saved that for the end). If that is not an option or, if you prefer shoveling, several tricks will improve your outcome. Now, when I speak about outcome, I do not refer to the quality of your shoveling achievements but to the way you feel and function the next day.
Tip #1: Your power comes from the center of your body. Strengthen your core in advance. It will increase your output, stamina and have a powerful protective effect. Then focus on your core while moving the snow.
Tip #2: Switch sides. As you move snow around, use the shovel on one side then the other. It might feel awkward in the beginning but you will be using your body more evenly and it will make you smarter. Yes, smarter. Every time you do something differently, you build new neural pathways that are linked to intelligence and memory. (This would be the book’s subtitle: Shovel Your Way to a Higher IQ). It’s called neuroplasticity.
Tip#3: Depending on how wet or dry, limit the amount you lift with each shovelful. With heavy snow, a 2 or 3 inches thick layer is as heavy as you want to lift.
Tip #4: Get adjusted regularly. I cannot overstress the immense protective power of regular adjustments.
After all this advice, if you still have pain following your snow encounter, please call and come right away. Waiting to see if it will go away just does not work. By the time you feel discomfort beyond fatigue, inflammation and joints dysfunction are present. These are components of subluxations that include nerve disruption. Short or long term problems are the inevitable consequence of subluxations. The ONLY solution is an adjustment. Maybe that book would have landed me on Oprah? It would certainly have been useful. See you soon for your next adjustment.

Immune Power
Adjustments Are Key to Proper Immune Function!
The nervous system controls and coordinates every function in the body. That is one of the foundation statements of the efficacy of chiropractic care. Two new articles review in extraordinary details how immune cells and functions are guided by nerves. They also demonstrate how nerve dysfunction and interference will lead to immune problems and imbalance.
Whether you are looking at an endemic inflammatory background that sets the stage for degenerative diseases (like arthritis, type 2 diabetes, cancer and heart disease) or abnormal immune responses like allergies or frequent viral infections, the nervous system is the key to proper function. As you remember, spinal subluxations disrupt nerve and energy flow. Therefore, when you are subluxated, your immune system is compromised. This means that your ability to quickly dispose of pathogens (flu, viruses and bacteria) and your ability to adapt to your environment (allergies) are diminished.
Of course, you want better than compromised immune function for you and your family! Fortunately, chiropractic adjustments are the most efficacious way to remove nerve interference. Years of experience and patient results show how powerful the effect of adjustments is on the immune system. Research has well documented this positive influence in many ways from decreased infection rates to improved thion levels and even amelioration of CD4 cell levels in AIDS patients. So give yourself and your family the gift of a powerful immune system by making sure that you are free of spinal subluxations. See you and your family soon for your immune optimizing adjustment!

The nervous system controls and coordinates every function in the body. That is one of the foundation statements of the efficacy of chiropractic care. Two new articles review in extraordinary details how immune cells and functions are guided by nerves. They also demonstrate how nerve dysfunction and interference will lead to immune problems and imbalance.

Free Military Care Program
Military Care Program
I live in a black and white world. My value system has a strong compass that sorts out right and wrong decisively and quickly. But some issues of personal ethics can be more complicated and it can be difficult to know what to do in seemingly out-of-my-control situations. Yet, I feel compelled to act.
Such a situation presented itself when our country went to war. On the one hand, I think wars are not the solution as a general rule. On the other hand, as this war unfolded, I felt a growing sense of compassion towards our brothers and sisters who are putting their lives on the line to serve our country.
These personal sacrifices our service men and women make tug at my sense of moral obligation to help those in need as well as my feelings of civic duty. So something had to be done.
In light of our strong sense that we should not rest until all we can do has been done, and done well, Dr. Linda and I have made a commitment to help our returning military personnel. We have joined a national effort, with several dozen chiropractic offices around the country, we are offering a chance to regain health and wellbeing to our returning warriors with our Military Care Program.
Think about it, wearing 50-75 pounds of equipment, jumping off trucks, witnessing the horrors of war, bearing the stress of incessant anxiety about your safety and that of your friends. All this winds up the nervous system and will lead to long term health problem that will affect the combatants the rest of their lives.
Well, that’s what chiropractic is best at! Solving these nervous system problems, releasing the body’s innate ability to express health and balance itself right. These folks need us desperately and we are stepping up to the plate to do our part in helping them recover their health.
On Veterans Day, Dr. Linda and I are proud to announce the Military Care Program at Slak Chiropractic. To fulfill our commitment to facilitating a better, healthier world, we are offering a full year of chiropractic care to our military personnel returning from Iraq or Afghanistan at no charge. See you soon for your life adjustment!

Dr. Linda's Miracles
Dr. Linda is Back!
A lot is going on at Slak Chiro. The first big news is that Dr. Linda is back on Friday mornings. If you have visited us on Tuesday, you have noticed that she is extremely busy, so she has added Friday morning back into her work schedule. Since the home front is easing up its demands on Dr. Linda, she can return to her Friday mornings in addition to her regular Tuesday hours. I am thrilled to be able to spend time together in the office.
Dr. Linda is back in more ways than one. Her pediatric training has transformed her from a great chiropractor to an extraordinary healer. I know more about chiropractic than most people on the planet, yet, I am blown away by the skill set and exceptional mastery she has gained. And most importantly, the results our patients are enjoying are world class.
We regularly review the charts of the patients we are caring for, in order to stay up-to-date with who is who and design the best care program possible. Lately, I have noticed a trend towards Dr. Linda caring for kids with all kinds of challenges. As I review the weekly progress, I am so moved that I found myself crying with joy and pride. Dr. Linda is changing the world one kid at a time.
From bed wetting to ear infections to constipation to autism; when the body’s innate ability to heal and function at its normal level is released by chiro adjustments, amazing things happen. I can’t wait to see you and your kids for your full function life adjustment!
