The most pernicious form of tyranny is that which disguises
itself as a benefactor to its victims. – Robert L. Schulz
If public officers will infringe men’s rights, they ought to
pay greater damages than other men, to deter and hinder other
officers from the like offenses.
– Lord Holt (1702)
To know what is right and not do it is the worse cowardice.

All socialism involves slavery. – Herbert Spencer (1884)
At the local post office…
True story. Long line at the post office…of
course, it’s holiday time. Anyway our postmaster’s
(postmistress’s) MD is in front of me. I thought there was going
to be a big fight. She’s telling him, in increasingly animated
tones, how she still feels terrible since the last time she saw
him. She now has these intestinal pains; is it an ulcer? He told
her it’d be better after a few days on this drug and it’s now a
few weeks and she’s still miserable. Yadda, yadda, yadda.
The MD is not fazed in the least. He smiles and says, “Well
dear, that’s how most people get better but I guess you are
unique.” He starts laughing. And then she starts laughing and
people in the post office join in too. They’re still chuckling
as he leaves. I’m wondering, “What’s the joke? This cat failed
and everyone thinks he’s funny?” Then I realized what it’s all
about. He’s the MD (medical deity). It doesn’t matter whether he
gets people better or not. Medicine is not about clinical
success; in fact, as a population we pay more and get less –
we’re sicker than ever. The clinical failures are overlooked
because medicine is considered good and useful no matter what
the reality.
And the scene in the post office was pretty surreal.
What a strange religion medicine makes. It's the only religion
that is federally backed, and that can't be questioned openly
without persecution. – Julie D., mother of two children with
vaccine-induced autism
Become psychic with KST?
Become psychic? Not exactly, but it sometimes seems that way.
This is a true story – in fact, it happened yesterday and by the
end of this brief, 3-minute exam he was almost speechless.
He wasn’t a new patient.
I had an appointment with him on a totally unrelated matter. In
the course of our meeting he asked me what I did. I told him. He
said he had a lot of problems no one’s been able to correct.
I said, “Well, let me check something. Stand up and turn your
back to me. Just face the window.”
I asked priorities. “Below waist?” No. “Above waist? Yes. “Cranials?”
Yes.
I started checking cranials by hand. Yes, I could do it all
mentally but I like to mix mental and physical analysis.
“Your left and right sphenoid wings are anterior and your
occiput is inferior. Anterior sphenoids are associated with
headache, migraine, depression, moodiness, vision problems and
insomnia among other things.”
“Wow, that’s pretty much me,” he said.
“Your right temporal bone is anterior. Do you ever get hearing
problems, dizziness, ringing?”
“Sometimes I get ringing in my right ear.”
“Your right parietal is inferior, you had a head trauma.”
“Nothing recent that I can recall.”
(I ask the body.) “This happened around age 11.”
“Yes, I had run into a wall and actually was unconscious
briefly.”
“Well, it’s still in your body.”
I continue with the analysis. “Your sternum is off-center to the
right. Do you ever get heart palpitations, heart skips a beat?”
“Yes, on occasion.”
“You have a hump pattern.”
“What’s that?”
“This bump or hump on the bottom of your neck and upper back
puts pressure on the heart, lungs and thyroid. Don’t worry, my
wife had one much worse and it disappeared in about three weeks.
Your head is off-center forwards. Your body is trying to pull
your head back so you probably have lower back pain because your
lower back is working overtime.”
“Yes, my lower back hurts all the time.”
“Your hyoid bone is out of position. The hyoid is under your
tongue and can cause voice, throat, swallowing, snoring and
similar problems if it’s out of position.”
“I sometimes lose my voice.”
“Your pubic bones are inferior and your femur heads or thigh
bones are anterior or forwards. All your energy is working to
keep you from falling down so you’re probably tired a lot.”
“I’m exhausted all the time, can you help all this?”
“Sure.”
“I, I, I’m just amazed. Are you accepting more patients? I’d
like to see you. Can I bring my wife and children? Also I’ve got
a few friends who need this. Can you give me some business
cards.”
It was just then I realized that I’ve got to start carrying
business cards.
Note: This person had been seeing a local chiropractor
regularly for years.
I can’t resist showing
you these KST testimonials. Read them and decide if you’d like
to know how to do this yourself.
Dying puppy. I wish I had learned KST sooner. One of the
wonderful exciting results was a patient’s 2-week-old puppy
(sole survivor of a litter) that was failing to thrive and
wasn’t going to make it. After one KST adjustment he started
eating THAT NIGHT, gained 2 ounces and slept peacefully. After
his 2nd adjustment he gained another 2 ounces and started
walking! I'm jumping out of my skin with excitement!! No thank
you seems adequate, but THANK YOU!! Gregory A. Landau, DC
Family finally fixed. I adjusted my husband, and he slept
for the first night in weeks in our own bed. He has been having
trouble breathing at night and he ends up down on the couch
every night.
For months my four-year-old son has also been having trouble
sleeping and ends up in our bed every night! He has huge tonsils
and has trouble breathing at night, He snores loudly and is in
continuous motion. He also has nightmares and 'night terrors'.
Adjusting his chronic right atlas helped, but it never stayed
put! He also hates getting adjusted because it hurts! Well, he
LOVED getting adjusted KST…thought that was really cool!!! And
it didn't hurt! His usual right atlas wasn't there. He slept in
his own bed quietly for the first night in months!
Also, I am LOVING being able to adjust myself. What an amazing
thing. Yesterday morning, even though I slept great and wasn't
clenching my teeth anymore, my right shoulder was hurting again
and I was having some trouble breathing. (After you adjusted me
in Atlanta, I noticed that I was breathing deeper than I have in
years!) I went straight downstairs (after noticing how much
younger I looked!) and adjusted myself again. The shoulder
immediately felt better and I've been breathing deeper ever
since. Man this is powerful stuff!! It's kind of hard to
convince myself that it really works this well, but it keeps
proving it every day!! AWESOME!! Tammy Karp, DC
Psychic powers? Excellent adjustments! Some patients
thought I was psychic as I uncovered things they said nothing to
me about. We are thrilled with KST! Christopher Rechter, DC
Headaches. My wife who is a nurse has chronic headaches
and monthly migraines. One KST adjustment and her headache went
away. This may not seem like much but I had not been able to
help her headaches for 15 years. Dr. Mark
Self adjusting. For months I’ve had retro-sternal pain
that wasn't going away. When you went over the sternum at the
seminar I checked myself immediately, got a positive and
adjusted my sternum and the pain went away. That one little
thing was worth the whole seminar to me. I wonder how many folks
would have been running to their MDs and getting all the tests
to no avail. Brad Miller, DC
Hooked. More and more practice members are seeing changes
in their life. Several with wacky dreams, almost all sleeping
better, a lady stopped limping and didn’t even know it until she
realized it much later, and diarrhea for about 24 hours in a 1½
year old who I adjusted starting when he was 2 days old for
constipation.
Some people just have a hard time putting their finger on it –
why KST is so different! About a third return on the second
visit demanding KST and everyone else is hooked after the third
visit. Shawn Pomeroy, DC
More fun practicing. I'm having more fun and feeling more
important than all of my 46 years of practice previous to
becoming a KST Chiropractor. I am more excited and full of pride
than ever, and for years I saw 60 to 75 patients a day and
occasionally 100 or more. I am 72-years-old and can hardly wait
to get to the office each day. Jack Ogden, DC

Words of
wisdom
There is only one way to bring people closer to truth,
whether your friend, your spouse, your child or a complete
stranger. It is not with rebuke, not with arguments, not with
intellectual games – but by drawing them with thick cords of
love, by showing your faith in who they are and with real deeds.
– Lubavitcher Rebbe
Feng Shui
hints for chiropractors
Your business signs should never be understated. The bigger and
clearer the better, and more information is the rule. Just
because you know what you do, and the benefits you can provide,
your potential patients won’t know that unless you tell them,
and the primary way that you get to do that, at least initially,
is through your signs. If they have to be placed where
visibility is an issue, then use high contrast colors, like
yellow and black, red and white, yellow and blue or white and
blue. Use strong letters with enough thickness so that the
letters are readable from a distance. Before you commit to a
sign, make a mockup and test it out. That sign is going to be up
there for a long time, hopefully, so you want to make very sure
that it is going to be effective at attracting new patients to
your practice. Drs. Ralph & Lahni DeAmicis, Environmental
Business Designers. Learn more at

What do
most asthmatics die from?
Asthma drugs. Researchers from Stanford and Cornell Universities
reviewed 19 studies involving nearly 34,000 patients and found
that people using popular drug inhalers for asthma (Serevent™,
Advair™, Foradil™) were 2.5 times more likely to be hospitalized
for severe asthma attacks and 3.5 times more likely to die. Five
thousand people die each year from asthma (US) and about 4,000
of these deaths are caused by these drugs. [Salpeter SR et al.
Meta-analysis: Effect of long-action B-agonists on severe asthma
exacerbations and asthma-related deaths. Ann Internal Medicine.
2006;144:904-912.]
Antibiotics not needed for ear and eye infections, say
researchers
Two recent studies show that two common conditions that were
thought to definitely need antibiotics – middle ear infections
and conjunctivitis (pink eye) in kids – don't really need them
at all. The studies conclude that without antibiotics, children
get better anyway. Read this report at

Flu shots
contain mercury
A survey of over 9,000 Americans found that most had no idea flu
shots contain mercury. "More than 75 percent of Americans feel a
mercury-containing flu shot should not be given to a pregnant
woman or a child," said Lisa Handley, a founding parent of
PutChildrenFirst.org, the group that organized the survey.
Handley's own son, Jamison, had an adverse reaction to a flu
shot containing mercury in 2003. "I know firsthand how
life-changing a flu shot with mercury can be, since our son
began his regression into autism after his flu shot." In 1999,
government agencies called for the removal of thimerosal, the
mercury-based preservative in most vaccines. In 2001, the
American Academy of Pediatrics stated that, "mercury in all of
its forms is toxic to the fetus and children." Despite these
actions, it’s in 90% of flu vaccines and it’s recommended for
pregnant women! Learn more at:

Dangerous
flu vaccination during pregnancy also useless
“We were unable to demonstrate that maternal influenza
vaccination reduces respiratory illness visit rates among their
infants. Influenza vaccination for pregnant women expecting to
deliver during influenza season does not seem to reduce the
occurrence of respiratory illness in their newborn infant.
Maternal influenza vaccination did not significantly affect
infant outpatient and inpatient visits for acute respiratory
illness.”
Therefore – researchers recommended vaccination anyway (?????).

Read this
before saying yes to a bypass, angioplasty or stents
“About 1.6 million Americans undergo heart bypass surgery,
angioplasty or stent procedures annually – even though there’s
no evidence that these procedures prolong life or prevent future
heart attacks in the majority of patients.
“The three-year survival rate for most patients who have had
bypass surgery is almost exactly the same as it is for patients
with heart disease who don’t have surgery.
“The vast majority of patients with heart disease can reduce the
risk of a future heart attack by up to 80% - without undergoing
expensive and risky procedures.
“Most bypass and stent procedures are the equivalent of cosmetic
cardiology. They make blood vessels appear healthy but do little
to reduce heart attack risk. In fact, most heart attacks are
caused by tiny blockages that can be hard to detect – and these
blockages often are not in the blood vessels that triggered all
the concern in the first place. The mortality from bypass
surgery ranges from 3%-5%. More than 50% of patients may
experience cognitive difficulties, and patients who have bypass
surgery are nearly four times more likely to suffer a subsequent
stroke. These are poor odds for procedures that don’t
necessarily prolong life or make patients healthier.”
Michael D. Ozner, MD, Bottom Line Personal, August 1, 2006; p.1.
It happens
Manure: In the 16th and 17th centuries, everything had to be
transported by ship. Since it was also before commercial
fertilizer was invented, large shipments of manure were common.
Manure was shipped dry, because in dry form it weighed a lot
less, but once water (at sea) hit it, not only did it become
heavier, but the process of fermentation began, of which a
byproduct is methane gas. Methane began to build up below deck
and the first time someone came below at night with a lantern,
BOOOOM! Several ships were destroyed in this manner before it
was determined just what was happening.
After that, the bundles of manure were always stamped with the
term "Ship High In Transit" on them, which meant for the sailors
to stow it high enough off the lower decks so that any water
that came into the hold would not touch this volatile cargo and
start the production of methane.
Thus evolved the term S.H.I.T., which has come down through the
centuries and is in use to this very day. You probably did not
know the true history of this word. Neither did I. I always
thought it was a golf term.

How to Handle a Rumor: The Test of
Three
 Keep this philosophy in mind the next time you either hear or
are about to repeat a rumor.
In ancient Greece (469 - 399 BC), Socrates was widely lauded for
his wisdom. One day the great philosopher came upon an
acquaintance who ran up to him excitedly and said, "Socrates, do
you know what I just heard about one of your students?"
"Wait a moment," Socrates replied. "Before you tell me, I'd like
you to pass a little test. It's called the Test of Three."
"Three?"
"That's right, Socrates continued, "Before you talk to me about
my student let's take a moment to test what you're going to say.
The first test is Truth. Have you made absolutely sure that what
you are about to tell me is true?"
“No," the man said, "actually I just heard about it."
"All right," said Socrates. "So you don't really know if it's
True or not."
"Now let's try the second test, the test of Goodness. Is what
you are about to tell me about my student something good?"
"No, on the contrary..."
"So," Socrates continued, "you want to tell me something bad
about him even though you're not certain it's true?"
The man shrugged, a little embarrassed.
Socrates continued. "You may still pass though, because there is
a third test – the filter of Usefulness. Is what you want to
tell me about my student going to be Useful to me?"
"No, not really..."
"Well," concluded Socrates, "if what you want to tell me is
neither True nor Good nor even Useful, why tell it to me at
all?"
The man was defeated and ashamed. This was the reason Socrates
was a great philosopher and held in such high esteem.
It also explains why Socrates never found out that Plato was
cavorting with his wife.
