Intercourse, the Amish and Chiropractic

Their towns have colorful names: Intercourse, Blue Ball, Bird in Hand, Virginville, but they are not known as party people. They are called the Amish (ah-mish) or “Plain People” and live quiet lives of hard work, religion and family.

The Amish shun most modern conveniences. They do not have electricity or telephones in their homes; they ride in horse-drawn buggies and take care of their own business. They are a tight-knit community.

Many work as farmers, carpenters, quilters, woodworkers and other related fields, speaking English to us outsiders (Englishmen) and “Dutch” at home. Their farms are models of efficiency and productivity even though they don’t use modern equipment. Some of their farming methods are copied all over the world.

A couple of months ago an Amish woman overheard a conversation in her area about a chiropractor with a new approach. She called me and made an appointment.

She had been suffering from migraines and, even though she was under chiropractic care, she wasn’t relieved of them. I adjusted her once and she returned the next week with six of her 12 children. The remaining six came the following week.

I started getting calls from her neighbors, friends and relatives. Soon taxi-vans filled with people dressed in mostly black clothing (no buttons or zippers, pins hold the clothes together), hats, beards (no moustaches) and strange accents, speaking what sounded like Yiddish (ah! the memories), were arriving at my door.

I agreed to spend a day seeing patients at one of their homes “in the country.” I like getting their raw milk, butter and fresh eggs, especially spring butter which is a darker yellow and tastes great! “The cows are eating the new spring plants and shoots and that’s what makes it taste so good,” I was told.

Amish and Chiropractic

The Amish are traditionally wonderful chiropractic patients. They are attracted to natural cures, use midwives, breastfeed, don’t vaccinate (there is no autism among the Amish), and eat raw dairy products and fresh vegetables. They are genuinely grateful for their care. When they say, “Thank you for helping my children,” they really mean it. And you don’t have to convince them to bring in their children either; they like the chiropractic approach. Also they refer a lot. They are the ideal practice members.

Using electricity from a generator in the barn, I plugged in my ArthroStim™ instrument and set up my things in the enclosed porch in a modern home that had no electrical outlets. I don’t need an adjusting table. Most everyone I saw had been under chiropractic care for years, but still had various problems. With Koren Specific Technique (KST) I was able to locate and correct subluxations that had never been adjusted: including cranial, facial, cervical, disc, upper thoracic, rib, sternum, facial bone, coccyx, etc. subluxations.

It was such a change to hear the clop-clop of a horse and buggy outside and be told, “Here come your next patients.”

I imagine the Amish get subluxated the way DD Palmer’s patients got subluxated. You certainly do not hear the typical stories we get in city and suburban practices.

“What happened here?” I asked one man whose ribs, sternum and related vertebrae were subluxated.
“I got kicked by a mule about 35 years ago.”
“It’s still in your body.” He had been seeing chiropractors for decades.

“What caused your head injury?” I asked another. (With KST you can tell if there was a head trauma.)
“I got kicked by a cow I tried to milk.”

I saw lots of kids including infants, the youngest being two months. “Word is spreading about your work,” said one Amish man. “You’ll be getting quite a following.”

I passed around 50 DCs as I drove to my patients’ home. There were DCs a mile or two down the road, yet these people wanted KST. I plan on going back soon.

By the way, the area is a great tourist destination. For more info on the Pennsylvania Dutch there are lots of web sites. One is http://www.800padutch.com/amish.shtml; another is http://www.amish-heartland.com/?topic=-Amish+Culture.

Words of Wisdom

I think you might dispense with half your doctors if you would only consult Dr. Sun more. – Henry Ward Beecher

The Healing Sun – Sunlight and Health in the 21st Century by Richard Hobday is a gem that everyone should read.

“The human race evolved under the sun, and for thousands of years lived in harmony with its heat and light. Yet over the last fifty years, we have lost this close contact with the sun and its healing power. We have become afraid of it. Yet the sun is vital for our well being and health.”

Hobday shows:

• Sunlight can prevent and heal many common and often fatal diseases like breast, colon, prostate and other cancers, heart disease, multiple sclerosis and osteoporosis.
• Prolonged exposure to artificial light puts the body under great stress.
• Moderate sunbathing is far more beneficial than we are currently led to believe.

There’s much more. I recommend sunbathing to my patients and after reading this book (get one for your patient lending library to) you’ll do the same, and get yourself and your family out in the sun too.

The Healing Sun is available from Koren Publications www.korenpublications.com or call 800-537-3001 to get your copy. Get it now and better understand the entire sunlight-skin cancer controversy too.

Make a TV show of your practice – I did, you can too

I just came back from taping 2 television shows with Dr. Jeff Hockings, where I was interviewed on his national talk show Phenomenal Health. I did one show on vaccinations and one on my new Koren Specific Technique. Jeff has been producing 30-minute television shows for 9 years as a way for you to promote your practice or business. No one in Chiropractic has more experience in this field than Jeff. I was very impressed with how professional Jeff and his team were during the production of my shows and, as you all know, I’m not easily impressed.

Jeff tapes all his shows at CBS studios in Palm Springs, California, which ensures your show looks first class. Jeff is the host of the show and asks you approximately fifteen questions about your practice or business in an interview format, much like the Larry King show.

During the interview I never had to look into the camera, just at Jeff, so the whole process was easier than I thought. I applaud Jeff for what he is doing because I think it would be incredible to have a couple thousand Chiropractors airing their own television shows across the US promoting how great Chiropractic is. There isn’t a more powerful marketing medium than television and I think it would be a wise decision to produce your own show so that you can become the expert in your area and dispel some of the medical myths that most people believe. You can learn more about the process of creating your own television show by going to Jeff’s website at www.InfomercialsMadeEasy.com.

Biggest health threat to the United States - US dentistry...

Opinion by Consumer Advocate Tim Bolen Monday, May 22nd, 2006:

“The US Health Care System, rated 72nd in quality, but number one in cost - worldwide, is known, by government reports, to be the NUMBER ONE KILLER of Americans - ahead of heart disease, cancer, and strokes. There is no argument against facts.”

“But what if there is an industry, completely trusted by the public, that knowingly, and intentionally, is causing significant harm to America's health? There is one. It is called "Official dentistry" and I believe that this entity, by itself, is the number one problem in American health care.”

Tim Bolen offers FOUR reasons "Official Dentistry" is the number one US health care problem. The reasons will shock and surprise you...

Sinus congestion
My first patient has had sinus congestion for years and after KST 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, DC

So fast?
Dear Tedd, 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, DC, LAc

Hump shrunk before my eyes
I first heard of your work when I read an article in The American Chiropractor. 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… my sisters' eyes strengthened in a way no amount of nutrition has been able to. 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 halve 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, DC

Letters

Dr. Koren, I just read your reply to Joseph Ventura’s response to your article in “The American Chiropractor.” You, my friend, are a class act. Joe J. Ashton, DC, Canon City, CO

Hi Tedd, that interview with Zappa was great. I loved it. too bad he didn't last a bit longer. Joseph J. Ierano, Australia

Thank you so much for all the great work that you do and the humor is the best ever. Louis Leonardi, DC

Great job AGAIN! I especially enjoyed the microwave water article and the mercury rebuttals. Brock Schwartz, DC

Just got the news today!!!

The Iowa Board of Medical Examiners has officially closed their investigative case against me pertaining to the vaccination issue. They found that it is perfectly legal for me as a chiropractor to inform the public of the possible risks and side effects associated with vaccination.
Again, it is NOT my role as a chiropractor to tell people to stop vaccinating their children. It is my role as a health professional to make sure that people make fully informed decisions and demand that their medical providers give people a fully informed consent before allowing procedures like vaccination. If they (the MD's) won't, which most don't, then I will.
Without proper informed consent, it is breaking the established federal laws in all 50 states and it should be considered assault and battery. In other words they MUST tell you about the side effects of any procedure before applying it. If a side effect occurs related to the vaccine, it was your doctor's responsibility to tell you about it. For example some known side effects to vaccination are reoccurring ear aches, diabetes type 2, ADD/ADHD, behavioral disorders, headaches, seizures, arthritis, rashes, chronic fatigue, death and much more.
Chad J. Rohlfsen, DC

Amish virus
You have just received the Amish Virus.
Since we do not have electricity nor computers, thou art on the honor system.
Please delete all of your files. Thank thee.

Naming drugs
All drugs have two names, a trade name and generic name. For example, the trade name of Tylenol™ also has a generic name of acetaminophen. Aleve™ is also called naproxen. Amoxil™ is also called amoxicillin and Advil™ is also called ibuprofen.

The FDA has been looking for a generic name for Viagra™. After careful consideration by a team of government experts, it recently announced that it has settled on the generic name of mycoxafloppin. Also considered were mycoxafailin, mydixadrupin, mydixarizin, dixafix, and of course, ibepokin.

Pfizer Corp. announced today that Viagra™ will soon be available in liquid form, and will be marketed by Pepsi Cola as a power beverage suitable for use as a mixer. It will now be possible for a man to literally pour himself a stiff one. Obviously we can no longer call this a soft drink, and it gives new meaning to the names of "cocktails," "highballs" and just a good old-fashioned "stiff drink." Pepsi will market the new concoction by the name of: "MOUNT & DO."

Thought for the day: There is more money being spent on breast implants and Viagra today than on Alzheimer's research. This means that by 2040, there should be a large elderly population with perky boobs and huge erections and absolutely no recollection of what to do with them.

If you don't send this to five friends right away there will be five fewer people laughing in the world.

Women who read
A couple goes on vacation to a fishing resort in northern Minnesota.
The husband likes to fish at the crack of dawn. The wife likes to read.
One morning the husband returns after several hours of fishing and decides to take a nap. Although not familiar with the lake, the wife decides to take the boat out. She motors out a short distance, anchors, and continues to read her book.
Along comes a game warden in his boat. He pulls up alongside the woman and says, "Good morning Ma'am. What are you doing?"
"Reading a book," she replies (thinking "isn't that obvious?").
"You're in a restricted fishing area," he informs her.
"I'm sorry officer, but I'm not fishing, I'm reading."
"Yes, but you have all the equipment. For all I know you could start at any moment. I'll have to take you in and write you up."
"If you do that, I'll have to charge you with sexual assault," says the woman.
"But I haven't even touched you," says the game warden.
"That's true, but you have all the equipment. For all I know you could start at any moment."
"Have a nice day ma'am," he responded as he left….

MORAL: Never argue with a woman who reads. It's likely she can also think.
