Tedd Koren’s May 2006 (free)
newsletter
The observations that are not explainable by current scientific theories are the
most valuable, for they may propel the field forward in the next cycle of
innovation, possibly to a paradigm shift.

New Koren Specific Technique (KST) quotes:
I first heard of your work when I read an article in The American Chiropractor.
I knew then I wanted to study with you. I thought, if this is half as good as he
says, I will be thrilled. I am thrilled. Eleanor DeVinny, D.C.
Great fun adjusting Monday! My favorite comment was from a patient who came in
for neck pain, which disappeared as I worked on him: "Is it supposed to get
better that fast?" Robin Schaefer, D.C., L.Ac.
Find out more about KST below.
Zappa on Crossfire
A composer is a guy who goes around forcing his will on unsuspecting air
molecules, often with the assistance of unsuspecting musicians.
Frank Zappa is a true American hero, much more than a musical genius. In this
Crossfire show, Zappa comes across as erudite, literate and composed – as
opposed to his hotheaded antagonists who were functioning at a fraction of his
bandwidth. If he were alive today I bet he’d run for office as a Libertarian.

The truth about bird flu revealed
Fowl! Bird flu: It’s not what you think
by Sherri J. Tenpenny, D.O.
Every year the media starts presenting scary flu stories. An epidemic is coming!
A pandemic is coming!! Save yourself, get your flu shot right away!!!
Few know that these stories are purposely printed to manipulate public opinion.
Sherri Tenpenny reveals what’s behind the headlines in this incredible book that
every doctor – and every patient – should read. Before federally mandated
vaccination laws are passed, you need know the facts. What is flu? Avian flu?
What’s going on? This book is now available from Koren Publications; call
800-537-3001 or go to www.korenpublications.com.
The latest re: Stephen Barrett, MD
I can’t tell you….yet. You remember we beat him in October 2005 and his motion
to reverse was rejected by the court in March 2006. We are moving forward
against this quackpot. There will be exciting news in the near future. Stay
tuned. Go to www.foundationforhealthchoice.com for the latest and donate for
healthcare freedom.
School science experiment on microwaves
Still using a microwave? Think twice. This is fascinating. If a kid could do it
– why isn’t the FDA requiring this kind of research?

Ready to learn Koren Specific Technique (KST)?
Doctors and patients call it “The best adjustment I ever had in my life.”
KST is easy to learn, specific, low-force and you can even adjust yourself. And
these adjustments hold!
Thank you for a fantastic KST seminar. I first heard of your work when I read an
article in The American Chiropractor. I knew then I wanted to study with you. I
thought, if this is half as good as he says, I will be thrilled. I am thrilled.
I started adjusting my sister and brother-in-law on Saturday night, again on
Sunday. Setting my sister’s cranial/facial bones strengthened her eyes in a way
no amount of nutrition has been able to. I got home Monday night and adjusted my
partner. Her neck is releasing in a way I have never been able to get it to open
up. I started KST with my patients on Tuesday and am so blown away and excited
with the results that I hardly know what to do. I adjusted a patient with a big
hump, and it literally shrunk to half its size in 3 minutes. When you adjusted
me on Saturday I was so grateful. I instantly felt so much better...everything
shifted...woke up. I am adjusting myself too. Thank you for all you taught me.
Eleanor DeVinny, D.C.
My first patient has had sinus congestion for years and after adjusting the
sphenoids, zygoma and nasal bones, they were instantly cleared. She was amazed,
as was I (but I didn't show it). She said that she had broken her nose 3 X's in
the past! Steven Ross, D.C.

Mercury is safe? JAMA thinks so.
The Journal of the AMA, as keeper of the faith when it comes to mercury’s
devastating effects in vaccines and dental fillings, actually had the nerve to
publish papers saying mercury was fine and dandy. How can they publish this
junk? Go to www.iaomt.org to see marvelous rebuttal articles.

Holistic veterinarian
Finding a veterinarian who is skilled in homeopathic or holistic modalities can
be challenging for many pet owners so those who have the skills often offer
phone consultations. Michael Dym, V.M.D. is one such veterinarian. Dr. Dym has
clients across the nation. For consultations or information write to him at
homeopathicvet@juno.com. Read an interview with him at
http://www.hpathy.com/interviews/MichaelDym.asp.
Enough with evidence-based medicine (EBM)
I’m in favor of good research but randomized controlled trials are useless (even
its developer admitted it). The latest fad is “evidence-based medicine” and it’s
no improvement either.
Like any fashion, its time has come and gone. Chiropractors and other empirical
healers beware – don’t get caught in these rationalist (medical) fads. The only
true determinant of whether a healthcare intervention works is empirical
research (i.e. individualized care based on case histories and outcome studies).
The article below from the British Medical Journal pokes fun at EBM while
suggesting where its adherents can go.
To determine whether parachutes are effective in preventing major trauma related
to gravitational challenge, a systematic review was performed of all studies
examining the effects of using a parachute during free fall. Data sources
included Medline, Web of Science, Embase, and the Cochrane Library databases.
The main outcome measure was death or major trauma, defined as an injury
severity score >15. The authors were unable to identify any randomized
controlled trials of parachute intervention. They concluded that the
effectiveness of parachutes has not been subjected to rigorous evaluation by
randomized controlled trials.
Comment: Advocates of evidence-based medicine have criticized the acceptance of
interventions that have been evaluated only by observational studies. The use of
parachutes during free fall is one such unproven intervention. The authors of
this report suggest that everyone might benefit if the most radical proponents
of evidence-based medicine organized and participated in a double blind
randomized, placebo-controlled crossover trial of the parachute.

Get an exemption to mandatory vaccination
At www.NVIC.org you can find state exemption laws. Some states require a
religious exemption and do not recognize philosophical exemptions.
MDs are
loathe to give someone a medical exemption if the parents request one – so much
for respecting individuals’ freedom of choice. To avoid vaccination using a
religious exemption, people may join the non-denominational Church of Universal
Wisdom. You don’t have to convert to another religion to do it. Got to
www.cuwisdom.org or contact Walter P. Schilling, DC at
cuw@comcast.net to find
out more for yourselves and your patients.
The Vaccination Lecture kit
THREE PowerPoint™ presentations: 2 hours, 1 hour and 30 minutes (times approx.)
in English, Spanish and French. You don’t even need PowerPoint to show it. Plus
53 bonus slides. Includes 30 and 60 minute audio CD talks for the car or to loan
and a one hour audio/video slide show on CD for patients to watch. Plus: Six
books containing the slides of all the lectures, the complete text of all the
talks, citations and background material, “How to give a successful vaccination
talk,” and brochures and handouts for the audience. Price: only $499.00. One new
patient pays for it and you’ll get dozens; but the real reason to get it is to
help people in your community. Go to www.korenpublications.com or call
800-537-3001.

“I have never used or produced a newsletter that people really come in and pick
up like this one. And they ask questions. Based on past experience with
newsletters, I could not pay more, be any more excited, or get as much interest
as I do with yours. I hope it is a labor of love for you because it comes across
that it is.” Sincerely, Robert C. Kenny, DC, FASBE.
”I have had great feedback from my patients on the newsletters. It is an easy
read and keeps our office name in front of their eyes on a regular basis.” Brian

Sign of our times?
Married for a night
A man and a woman, who had never met before, but were both married to other
people, found themselves assigned to the same sleeping room on a
transcontinental train. Though initially embarrassed and uneasy over sharing a
room, they were both very tired and fell asleep quickly, he in the upper bunk
and she in the lower. At 1:00 AM, the man leaned over and gently woke the woman
saying, "Ma'am, I'm sorry to bother you, but would you be willing to reach into
the closet to get me a second blanket? I'm awfully cold."
"I have a better idea," she replied. "Just for tonight, let's pretend that we're
married."
"Wow! That's a great idea!" he exclaimed. "Good," she replied. "Get your own
damn blanket!"
I recently picked a new primary care physician.
He said I was doing "fairly well" for my age. I thought I was living a healthy
life. “Fairly well,” didn't sound so good! I couldn't resist asking, "Do you
think I'll live to be 80?"
He asked, "Do you smoke tobacco or drink beer or wine?"
"Oh no," I replied. "I avoid even second-hand smoke; lung cancer is a big
concern. Alcohol I was told was a gateway to Heroin and Crack, not to mention
the side effects to your liver. As you can guess I'm not doing drugs, either."
Then he asked, "Do you eat rib-eye steaks and barbecued ribs?"
I said, "No, my other Doctor said that all red meat is very unhealthy!
Cholesterol, trans fats, lipids, triglycerides..."
"Do you spend a lot of time in the sun, like riding ATVs, sailing, going on
annual "La Familia Loca" outings, hiking, or bicycling?"
"No, I don't," I said. "I was told to avoid the sun for skin cancer, sun spots,
premature wrinkling and aging. I was told that those ATVs flip over all the time
and can cause serious injury. I do not hike because of deer ticks & Lyme
disease, outdoor allergies and pollen, bee stings, etc."
He asked, "Do you gamble, drive fast cars, or have a lot of sex?"
No," I said. "I don't do any of those things. I avoid addictions, wear my seat
belt, never speed or do anything reckless, and I'm afraid of HIV, herpes, warts,
avian bird flu, hepatitis B, and all that bad stuff."
He looked at me and said, "Then why do you give a shit?"
See you next month. Tedd
