So have you ever wondered what the whole controversy is on vaccination?  If you are anything like me, you probably have heard and seen things from both sides of the fence.  Until recently, I thought I had a pretty good hold on things.  However, just about a month ago I went to a continuing education seminar about vaccination.  I must say I didn't get a great deal of information out of it other than a resource to go to for information.  But boy was it a good resource!  I just finished this book a couple of nights ago.  Talk about an eye opener; I didn't realize how little I actually knew.  This is a must read for anyone who wants to have all the correct, factual information.  Please read it.  It is called "Vaccination is Not Immunization".  It is written by Dr. Tim O'Shea and you can find it on his website http://www.immunitionltd.com/books-and-cds.html.  It costs $25 plus shipping but is worth every penny. 

I love it, you love it, we all love it...but do you really know much about it?  I just watched an unbelievably phenomenal documentary about it.  You have to watch it.  I am going to play it in my reception room for all my patients to see.  It's called "Food Matters".  Seriously, watch it!  You will not regret it.  After you are done with that, another great one to see is called "Food Inc." -  Also a must see.  They are both instant watches on Netflix.  You can also see more about Food Matters at     http://www.foodmatters.tv

So I'm relaxing at home watching television when I happened to come across a show on ABC called News OnCall.  I'm not normally a news kind of guy because it's usually depressing.  However,  this story caught my attention because it's about a subject I am often questioned about as a chiropractor -bone density.  I have been trying to explain this to patients for several years now, but there's nothing like a good news story to validate what you already know.  That being said, It's still a little depressing.  Think of all the people you know who take medications like this.  Forget the "holiday" from this type of medication, retire your bone density medication all together.  There are much more effective ways to increase your bone density without these "small risks".   I'd love to know what you think.  Here's the link:
