Lipitor™
for my mother?
No, I’m not whining or complaining. I’m using this as an example of how
uninformed (I’ll refrain from saying stupid) medical doctors give people useless
and dangerous advice.
I’m speaking to my mother the other day. She says she avoids all drugs except
one – her MD put her on Lipitor™ to keep her cholesterol low. “I’m sure you
wouldn’t approve,” she adds.
No, I don’t approve. First of all Lipitor™ and all those other
cholesterol-lowering drugs do not save lives. Let me repeat it, they do not save
lives. They do in fact interfere with CoQ10 metabolism and can cause sudden
heart failure.
But it gets worse. High cholesterol is protective in older people. That’s right,
studies have shown that those 65 and over with high cholesterol actually live
longer. (Brescianini S, Maggi S, Farchi G et al. for the ILSA Group. Low total
cholesterol and increased risk of dying: Are low levels clinical warning signs
in the elderly? Results from the Italian Longitudinal Study on Aging. J Am
Geriatr Soc. 2003;51:991-996.)
A recent paper put it this way: “Low cholesterol level is a robust predictor of
mortality in the nondemented elderly and may be a surrogate of frailty or
subclinical disease.” (Schupf N. et al. Relationship between plasma lipids and
all-cause mortality in nondemented elderly. J Am Geriatr Soc.
2005;53(2):219-226.)
My mother is 81; what scientific research shows it’s safe and beneficial to give
Lipitor™ to her? None, zip, zippo. Low cholesterol is the last thing she needs.
The research that was done was probably performed on lower life forms such as
3rd year medical students and doesn’t relate to the needs of regular people. In
fact, almost no drug research does.
For example, if Lipitor™ was studied on 50-year-old white men, how does that
relate to my mother? How does it relate to a 50-year-old black man or woman or
an Asian or a Hispanic? What if it were done on 81-year-old black men? Does that
give us information on what it will do to others?
Answer – no, it won’t.
Most drugs are poorly researched on test groups that have no relation to the
individual sitting across from the doctor’s desk. That’s because controlled
clinical trials do not work – they don’t relate to you or me or our mothers or
fathers.
Did my mother listen to me? What do you think? Family - don’t get me started.
Great UK website and forum
Go to http://www.chiropractic-uk.info
Visit this site, register and add your voice. I just did. It’s moderated by Dr.
Richard Lanigan, Koren Publications’ UK distributor and someone actively trying
to help the profession. Discover what’s happening to chiropractic in Europe. In
some ways it’s as bad as the US; in other ways it may appear worse (pretty
shocking).
MDs caused the bird flu
Hey, where’s all the bird flu? I guess it flew away. But the drug company
profit$ remain. Ah, how we respond to fear tactics: “this flu may jump to
humans, it may cause a pandemic, it may happen….” And I may be elected
president.
Why did we have a bird flu problem in the first place? MDs may have caused it.
Look at this:
Bad vaccines may trigger China bird flu: expert. HONG KONG (Reuters) -
China is most likely using substandard poultry vaccine or not enough good
vaccine, which would explain recent outbreaks of the deadly H5N1 bird flu virus
in poultry, a prominent virologist said on Thursday. Dr Robert Webster, of St
Jude's Children's Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee, said the problem of
substandard vaccines was not exclusive to China. "There is bad vaccine that
stops the disease in the bird but the bird goes on pooping out virus and
maintaining it and changing it. And I think this is what is going on in China.
It has to be. Either there is not enough vaccine being used or there is
substandard vaccine being used. Probably both."

Comment from Tedd – I recommend they use neither and start treating their
birds humanely so they won’t be so sick.

Skim milk more fattening than whole
milk
Can you believe it? How many people buy skim or 1% milk thinking it’ll keep them
from gaining weight when exactly the opposite happens. Actually, farmers have
always known that if you want to fatten pigs, feed them skim rather than whole
milk. When you remove the fat the lactose (milk sugar)/fat balance changes,
essentially turning milk into little more than a sugar drink.
In a recent study of 12,829 children ages 9 to 14. weight gain was associated
with drinking skim and 1% milk, not full-fat milk. Fat does not make you fat,
sugar and starch make you fat.

Aspartame - Findings that speak for
themselves
One hundred male rats and 100 female rats were followed from 8 weeks of age
until their deaths from natural causes. The rats were fed aspartame (Nutrasweet™)
at doses
approximating a wide range of human consumption levels, from very low
levels to very high. Each rat was autopsied following its spontaneous death, and
exposed animals were found to have a higher rate of leukemias, lymphomas, kidney
and pelvic cancers and a brain cancer. Soffritti M. Environmental Health
Perspectives, Nov. 17, 2005; online edition.
Related Study: Soffritti M, Belpoggi F, Esposti DD et al. Aspartame induces
lymphomas and leukaemias in rats. European Journal of Oncology. 2005;10(2).
Aspartame (APM) is found in more than 6,000 products, including soft drinks,
chewing gum, candy, yoghurt, tabletop sweeteners, vitamins and sugar-free cough
drops. Average aspartame daily intake in the general population…is even more in
children and pregnant women. “Aspartame, in our experimental conditions,
causes a statistically significant, dose-related increase in lymphomas and
leukaemias in females. No statistically significant increase in malignant
brain tumours was observed among animals from the treated groups as compared to
controls.”

KST Miracles – all DCs should learn
this miraculous technique. Sign up now; receive and learn to give the adjustment
of a lifetime.
Find out why so many DCs say: “That was the best adjustment I ever had in
my life.”
“The latest miracle is an 8 month baby who has been on a
feeding tube since birth. I adjusted her hard palate and the next day her Mom
called and told me that she's off the feeding tube and sucking so hard it felt
like she was biting her. Mom has told everyone and I already have three
referrals from her. Had a really hot disc the other day and it resolved in about
5 visits!
“A woman who has been blacking out and had ‘very fuzzy eyesight’ and hasn't been
able to read because her eyes weren't converging. After adjusting her sphenoids
and atlas she told me how clear her vision was, and how less foggy she felt.
“Another hasn't been able to smell for over 20 years and after his second
adjustment he told me that he could breathe thru his nose for the first time and
could begin to smell again!
Everyone loves the results. Practice members are holding their adjustments
longer and most say they really feel a big difference. This work is great!”
Wayne Rebarber, DC
“I absolutely love that I can adjust myself. I love that I
can effectively handle cranials now…what a gift to be able to adjust those and
help those low backs hold better and longer. Thank you for the seminar and your
contribution to our profession - which ultimately changes the energy of this
planet.” Jeff Chamberlain, DC
“Tedd, I got a 42 yo patient who had numerous MVA's. He is
a mess and has seen many chiropractors off and on. He dropped in yesterday and
couldn't believe how much range of motion he had after one adjustment and how
long the adjustment lasted. He said he never liked all that snapping and
cracking and loves the arthrostim instrument.” Tana Nazar, DC
“The biggest benefit this technique has provided me with
is the certainty that I am actually helping every patient I adjust. That lack of
certainty while using other techniques has held me back for many years. Thank
you for that.” David McDougall, DC
“Tedd, A pregnant patient sent this message to me today,
totally unsolicited. Selina Sigafoose, DC: I just wanted to let you know that
procedure you did on me is incredible. I have so much energy. I didn't even need
to take a nap today. I was able to get some much needed cleaning done. I used to
be so tired and dragging all day long. Thank You!!!!!! (Name withheld)”
“Tedd, I hope you are sincerely jazzed by all these
wonderful results and all the healing happening because of your efforts and
dedication. Dude, you must be amassing some serious positive karma! God Bless!”
Mike Clancey, DC

Letters
Dr Koren, What is the point of the newsletter clip claiming bird flu is not very
dangerous? The fact that people exposed to an infected woman did not get sick
proves nothing; the virus has not yet developed the ability to be transmitted
effectively or at all between people. Only when that happens will we learn just
how dangerous it might be. Until then, let's not as DC's go around downplaying
it and sounding uninformed. Ron
PS. I love your humor. Last week I bought a box of Animal Crackers. It had a
label that said, "Do not eat if seal is broken." I checked inside, and sure
enough...
Dear Ron, There is no historical or scientific evidence that a horrible bird flu
is coming. I'm the one being informed and scientific. The drug companies are
scaring everyone to make loads of money. They say there is a terribly infectious
flu out there. Where? So far the H5N1 virus has killed 65 people over eight
years. That's dangerous? More people die from poison frogs. Tedd
Humor
During a visit to the mental asylum, a visitor asked the Director what the
criterion was which defined whether or not a patient should be
institutionalized.
"Well," said the Director, "we fill up a bathtub, then we offer a teaspoon, a
teacup and a bucket to the patient and ask him or her to empty the bathtub."
"Oh, I understand," said the visitor. "A normal person would use the bucket
because it's bigger than the spoon or the teacup."
"No." said the Director, "A normal person would pull the plug."
Do you want a room with or without a view?
Life Advice
If you have a bad cough, take a large dose of laxatives, then you will be afraid
to cough.
Sometimes, we just need to remember what the rules of life really are: You only
need 2 tools: WD-40 & Duct Tape. If it doesn't move & should, use the WD-40. If
it shouldn't move & does, use the duct tape.
Remember: Everyone seems normal until you get to know them.
Never pass up an opportunity to go to the bathroom.
If you woke up breathing, congratulations! You get another chance.
Be really nice to your family & friends, you never know when you might need them
to empty your bedpan.
