Roses are reddish
Violets are bluish
If it weren’t for Christmas
We’d all be Jewish.
- Benny Hill

It behooves every man who values liberty of conscience for himself, to resist invasions of it in the case of others; or their case may, by change of circumstances, become his own.
- Thomas Jefferson April 21, 1803

When we give government the power to make medical decisions for us, we, in essence, accept that the state owns our bodies.
- U.S. Representative Ron Paul
 

Ron Paul - President 2008 www.ronpaul.2008.com

I urge all DCs, CAs, spouses and patients interested in healthcare freedom and limited, Constitutional government to vote for Ron Paul in the primaries and for President. More Republicans and Democrats are tired of the tax-borrow-spend-regulation mentality of Washington and realize that a vote for Ron Paul is a vote against Big Brother in healthcare, economy, privacy and so many other areas of our lives. Please go to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=003p4gpZ8ms and enjoy the show.
 

Welcome to the end of 2007

Stress, fighting, yelling…and that was just this morning. I love teenagers.

When my kids become wild and unruly, I use a nice, safe playpen.
When they’re finished, I climb out. – Erma Bombeck

Looking back, it has been a very good year. I learned a lot, whether I wanted to or not. What do I want for next year? To spend a little more time relaxing, get some more massages, some reflexology would be good, spend some time lying on a nice beach without a child calling me every two minutes.

We had a quicksand box in our back yard. I was an only child, eventually.
– Steven Wright

Years ago a very wise friend introduced me to an exercise he and his wife did at the end of every year. They would go to a nice restaurant and individually write down how the year went: financially, their relationship, their sex life, the kids, their issues, their successes, their failures, their hopes. They’d discuss them. Not long ago I told another friend whose wisdom I hold in high regard about this yearly exercise. He said, “That sounds like a terrible thing to do.” Go figure.

2007 was a great year. KST has exploded. DCs get one KST adjustment and realize how powerful it is. By the way, my being attacked for teaching KST in Berlin was a “tempest in a teacup” but the publicity was great for business.

I enjoyed speaking for The Masters Circle in 2007 and will be presenting at their January seminar in Dallas. I spoke for them in Dallas this past year. During a break I walked to Dealey Plaza, site of the Kennedy assassination. I stood where Zapruder took his video, on the grassy knoll, behind the fence where the “other shooter” supposedly stood, got a 20 minute lecture on what “really” happened by one of the guys hanging around there who makes a living giving impromptu discussions. It was lots of fun only I’m a bit paranoid now.

Speaking of Berlin, it was a blast. Did you know marijuana and prostitution are legal there? Hey, don’t look at me, I’m married. The London KST seminar too was great – we’re returning to both cities in October and May 2008 respectively.

While in England, Beth, Shayna and I drove to Stratford-upon-Avon and saw Twelfth Night performed by the Royal Shakespeare Company. John Lithgow was in it. After the show we asked Shayna if she liked it. She said, “It was good but I liked the way my 6th grade class did it better.”

2008 will again be an international year: Tuscany in May, London in May, Berlin in October and then (here it comes) Israel in December! We’ll celebrate Shayna’s bat mitzvah there. We may have a KST and philosophy seminar in Tel Aviv too. What an adventurous year. I hope you’ll join us.

We are in the process of organizing a board of advisors for a new chiropractic college. If you are interested in being involved please write me. We envision a healthcare institution based on the vitalism of DD Palmer where students will be healthy so their patients can be healthy. Too many people graduate who are ill – and then proceed to tell others how to be healthy.

Oh, and the best news – the end of 2007 is just the beginning of 2008!

The Foundation for Health Choice www.foundationforhealthchoicecom

We’re growing. Thanks for all your support for the year. I predict that 2008 will be the end of Barrett and the Quackbusters. Who knows what we’ll find when the chips fly. We are fighting for a new era in heathcare freedom. Speaking of Barrett…

Barrett needs help against the “well financed quacks”

“The nervous system does not control all the organs and tissues of the body. Nor has chiropractic care been shown to maintain optimal health or enable the body to resist disease.”
– Stephen Barrett, Improper Claims on Chiropractic College Websites, 5/21/04

The paragraph below appeared on the health fraud list. For the record I am NOT recommending you donate. Read about the influence this guy has.

“Help Quackwatch and Dr. Barrett: Dr. Stephen Barrett, has been a leader the worldwide struggle against health fraud for more than 35 years…Dr. Barrett also serves as a trusted resource for the media, law-enforcement agencies, educators, and thousands of individual consumers.
Quackery promoters have tried to counter his influence by libeling him and filing groundless lawsuits. He has filed several libel suits that have been costly. This week, after a 6-year legal battle, a California judge ordered him to pay the legal fees of one defendant….Dr. Barrett intends to continue, but can use help in defraying legal expenses. Quackwatch and its companion Web sites…are free to the public, but maintaining them requires the ability to deal with frivolous assaults by well-financed quacks and the special interests that profit from quackery. If you can give $50 or more make a donation payable to the Barrett Defense Fund Chapel Hill, NC. Robert S. Baratz, MD, PhD, DDS National Council Against Health Fraud.”

Barrett and posse were ordered to pay legal fees in a decision on 12/10/07 by the Superior Court of California. The full decision is here: http://www.humanticsfoundation.com/Barrett_Vs_Rosenthal_Attorneys_Fees.pdf

Erectile Dysfunction (ED) and KST

I am a chiropractor who went thru a pretty nasty divorce a few years ago. Since then I’ve had a roller coaster ride with being able to obtain/maintain an erection. I have tried many different chiropractic techniques. acupuncture, meditation, EFT, supplements, hypnosis, ED meds. All of these provided mixed, inconsistent, temporary results. After one KST adjustment my body released the emotional blockage that had lead to my "issue." I feel like myself again! I highly recommend every chiropractor find out more about KST.

Lawsuit against Splenda not dismissed

A federal judge in Los Angeles has refused to dismiss the Sugar Association’s lawsuit against the makers of Splenda for false and misleading advertising, Citizens for Health (CFH) is asking all consumers to pay special attention to the possible dangers involved in cooking and baking with artificial sweeteners. “Too many commercial interests are working to frustrate self-education about responsible health choices,” warns CFH Board President and health lawyer, Michael McCormack.

Hysterectomy info

Hysterectomies (removal of the uterus) were popularized in the United States over a century ago. The surgical removal of the female reproductive sex organs is a primitive practice, yet an average of 622,000 per year have taken place over the last decade. In 2005, 76 percent of the women also had their ovaries removed. Doctors tell women sex will be the same, or better than ever. Women say their sex lives are over, they're "dead in bed" http://jcn.sagepub.com/cgi/content/abstract/22/11/1308
 

The flu protects against cancer

In this study those with a history of colds and flu also had less breast, colon, rectal, stomach and ovarian cancer.

In another study, a history of common colds or gastro-enteric influenza was found to be associated with a decreased cancer risk.

And in another study, subjects who reported a history of colds, flu and other infectious diseases had a 30% reduction in risk of brain tumor.

KST seminar dates

Receive (and learn to give) what many chiropractors call, “The best adjustment of my life.”

I left the seminar more excited about chiropractic than I have been in years. I'm a Sherman grad, philosophy based chiropractor, so a lot of the "symptom treating" seminars I've attended drove me crazy! Learning about the philosophy, science and art of KST was very refreshing…I started with KST Monday morning…Overall, the best seminar I've taken in years. – Mary Jane Horton, DC

Humor

Condoms aren’t completely safe. A friend of mine was wearing one and got hit by a bus.
– Bob Rubin

Actual comments made by his patients (predominately male) during their colonoscopies:

1. "Take it easy, Doc. You're boldly going where no man has gone before!”
2. "Find Amelia Earhart yet?"
3. "Can you hear me NOW?"
4. "Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet?"
5. "You know, in Arkansas, we're now legally married."
6. "Any sign of the trapped miners, Chief?"
7. "You put your left hand in, you take your left hand out..."
8. "Hey! Now I know how a Muppet feels!"
9. "If your hand doesn't fit, you must quit!
10. "Hey Doc, let me know if you find my dignity."
11. "You used to be an executive at Enron, didn't you?"
12. "Could you write a note for my wife saying that my head is not up here?"

A priest, a Pentecostal preacher and a Rabbi all served as chaplains at the same university. They would get together two or three times a week for coffee and to talk shop. One day, someone made the comment that preaching to people isn't really all that hard. A real challenge would be to preach to a bear. One thing led to another and they decided to do an experiment. They would all go out into the woods, find a bear, preach to it, and attempt to convert it.

Seven days later, they were all together to discuss the experience.

Father McNamara, who had his arm in a sling, was on crutches, and had various bandages, went first. "Well," he said, "I went into the woods to find me a bear. And when I found him I began to read to him from Catechism.

Well, that bear wanted nothing to do with me and began to slap me around. So I quickly grabbed my holy water, sprinkled him and, Holy Mary Mother of God, he became as gentle as a lamb. The bishop is coming out next week to give him first communion and confirmation."

Reverend Billy Bob spoke next. He was in a wheelchair, with an arm and both legs in casts, and an IV drip. In his best fire and brimstone oratory he claimed, "WELL brothers, you KNOW we don't sprinkle! I went out and, I FOUND me a bear. And then I began to read to my bear from God's HOLY WORD! But that bear wanted nothing to do with me. So I took HOLD of him and we began to wrestle. We wrestled down one hill, UP another and DOWN another until we came to a creek. So I quick DUNKED him and BAPTIZED his hairy soul. And just like you said, he became as gentle as a lamb. We spent the rest of the day praising Jesus."

They both looked down at the rabbi, who was lying in a hospital bed.

He was in a body cast and traction with IVs and monitors running in and out of him. He was in bad shape. The rabbi looked up and said, "Looking back on it, circumcision may not have been the best way to start!"

Happy New Year. May you enjoy wonderful times with your family and friends. I hope to see you soon and in person in the near future.
