Asperger's, Migraines Headances, Depression and Chiropractic

ASPERGER'S AND CHIROPRACTIC
A 6-year-old male patient was brought to the office in October 2000. He had not responded to standard medical care. His initial complaints included: Asperger’s Syndrome that resulted in uncontrollable “rocking, jumping and flapping” of his hands; asthma triggered by exertion; seasonal allergies and colds or bronchial congestion; and severe allergies to mold, dust, animal dander and seasonal triggers. His Asperger’s symptoms started at age 3, and he had asthma and allergy symptoms since early childhood.

Cranial and spinal subluxation patterns were detected and a treatment program was implemented to address these patterns using SOT protocols and procedures.

The patient and family reported that the Asperger’s Syndrome symptoms “settled down within the first week of care.” While first seen in October 2000, by January 2001 his Asperger’s symptoms had been stabilizing and he was off medications for asthma and allergies.

His Asperger’s symptoms continued to improve and only occurred infrequently when under extreme stress. His asthma and allergies responded positively within the first few weeks of care,

Presently the patient is 15 years old and has not needed any medication over the past 7 years, nor have his Asperger’s symptoms returned. At the present time this patient is being seen on a wellness/maintenance chiropractic care program. (1)


DEPRESSION, ANXIETY AND CHIROPRACTIC
A 58-year-old male with shoulder and neck pain sought chiropractic care. Past history revealed two major car accidents that involved hospitalizations. At the same time the patient had many symptoms related to his depression and anxiety, such as poor concentration, irritability, lethargy, panic attacks and heart palpitations. He scored 46 on the Beck Depression Inventory-II, which indicates severe depression.

Care was directed towards the location and correction of subluxations. The patient was seen three times per week for three months with documented improvement in quality of life. (2)



MIGRAINE, CERVICOGENIC HEADACHE AND CHIROPRACTIC
Systematic literature searches of controlled clinical trials published through August 2009 relevant to chiropractic practice were conducted using many databases. Twenty-one articles were used to develop recommendations. The evidence suggests that chiropractic care improves migraine and cervicogenic headaches. (3)

Health Plan/Strategy for the Holidays

Health Plan/Strategy for the Holidays

* Disease is an attempt by the body to get rid of the toxins. These toxins can be eliminated by fasting, eating and drinking natural food, and cleansing programs.

* Fresh green and leafy vegetables should be eaten everyday.


* Fresh fruits and vegetables should be eaten when they are in season and preferably raw.

* A certain amount of fat is necessary and nourishing to the body. Oil is not as nourishing as ghee (clarified butter).

* Starchy foods should be eaten when dry so as to allow for more chewing and flow of saliva.

GORDON FIMREITE HAS YOUR BACK

Written by Sandra Anderson
Monday, 25 October 2010 12:11

Surprisingly, millions of people remain misinformed about chiropractic care. The definition of Chiropractor - system of healing: a medical system based on the theory that disease and disorders could be caused by a misalignment of the bones, especially in the spine, (which encases over one billion nerves), where proper function can become obstructed. A misalignment or posture problem can interfere with the function of the body and contribute to disease and disorder.
Chiropractors don’t just treat back pain; they treat dozens of ailments, many of which may initially appear unrelated to the spinal cord and vertebral column all together. Patient’s visits include foot pain, headaches, shin splints or even carpal tunnel syndrome to name a few. They are also trained to recognize if the patient’s condition is outside of the scope of their care and will refer the patient to the proper specialist.

It’s possible that the biggest misconception of chiropractors is that they lack specialized education and training. Take Dr. Gordon Fimreite who has offices in LaGrange and Chicago for example is nationally certified in his profession. He received his Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse and his Doctor of Chiropractic Degree from Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, IA, which is about 4,500 hours – the same as medical doctors. Fimreite lives his life by his profession.

As a practicing chiropractor for over 15 years he doesn’t just focus on the impending physical needs of his patients – he treats their human spirit. Along with treating patients in his office(s), he devotes time to speaking engagements and holds regular workshops, where his focus is on the “well balanced life”, which includes the benefits of exercise, nutrition and sleep wellness through chiropractic care.

For more information about his programs, please visit http://www.drfimreite.com or email him at publicspeaking@drfimreite.comThis e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it or call (708) 352-3352 or (773) 817-3123.

Fimreite is a very active man, who enjoys reading, Health and Wellness research, triathlons, weight training, volleyball, drawing, photography, skiing, rollerblading and traveling.

His own personal experience of receiving chiropractic care after suffering multiple injuries from an automobile that struck him while he was bicycling allowed him to return to his daily regimen quickly. He knew then he had to “pay it forward” and help others. He cares for patients of all ages from newborns to the elderly, from the physically challenged to the athletic and from the businessman to the housewife.

Fimreite is an active member of the Brookfield Chamber of Commerce, West Suburban Chamber of Commerce and Industry and Western Springs Business Association.

Flu Shot vs. Building a Strong Immune System

Flu Shot via #constantcontact

FLU SHOTS

* According to Dr. Hugh Fudenberg, one of the world's leading immunogeneticists/ immunologists, winner of numerous honors with over 850 papers in peer reviewed journals, 5 consecutive flu shots increase your chance of developing Alzheimer's Disease by 10 times! Dr. Fudenberg says the mercury and aluminum in flu (and many childhood) vaccines damage the brainDr. Fudenberg's comments are from his speech at the NVIC International Vaccine Conference, Arlington, VA., September 1997. Dr. Hugh Fudenberg, MD Hazards of Vaccines 1 & 2 in Internet. J. Clin. Invest., 2000 & 2004. Bio and achievements are at: http://www.nitrf.org/fudenberg.html.

* "There is no evidence that any influenza vaccine thus far developed is effective in preventing or mitigating any attack of influenza (flu virus). The producers of these vaccines know that they are worthless, but they go on selling them anyway." - Dr. J. Anthony Morris, formerly Chief Vaccine Control Officer at the US Food and Drug Administration http://www.vran.org/vaccines/flu/flu-facts.htm

* How many flu viruses are there? Between October 1,2 003 and April 9, 2004, the CDC identified 863 DIFFERENT influenza viruses. Even if one assumes that the flu vaccines "work" for the three chosen strains, what about the other 860 influenza viruses in circulation? Source: http://www.whale.to/a/ten12.html

* Of the vaccines today that still contain mercury, the flu vaccine is the biggest concern, according to Dr. David Ayoub, the director of the Prairie Collaborative for Immunization. About 80 percent of flu vaccines contain as much as 25 micrograms of mercury per dose. The EPA's safe limit for mercury is 0.1 mcg/kg, so everyone who gets the flu vaccine receives an overdose of mercury. You would have to weigh at least 550 pounds to receive a flu shot and be within the safe federal exposure limits for mercury.

* Do 36,000 people really die from the flu? It's less than 1,000, mostly the weak, malnourished, over-medicated elderly. Find out how the CDC is making up numbers and scaring people into getting the flu shot. See the Flu Scare Game by John Keller at http://www.whale.to/a/keller1.html

* FDA Adds Warning to Flu Drug Label: Tamiflu Linked to Behavior Problems. WASHINGTON (Nov 14, 2006) - Patients who take Tamiflu should be closely monitored for signs of abnormal behavior, health officials said Monday in announcing an updated label for the flu drug. The added precaution comes after reports of more than 100 new cases of delirium, hallucinations and other unusual psychiatric behavior in children treated with the drug. Where does t his delirium come from - damage to the brain and nervous system created by the neuro-toxic heavy metals in flu vaccines.

* BRITISH MEDICAL JOURNALL - "Flu vaccines ' not worth the bother'"

Below is a list of some of the ingredients used to make vaccines. For more info, please visit the following link and click on the particular vaccination brand name: http://www.vaccinesafety.edu/thi-table.htm
* Ethylene Glycol (antifreeze)
* Phenol, also known as carbolic acid (this is used as a disinfectant, dye)
* Formaldehyde, a known cancer-causing agent
* Aluminum, which is associated with Alzheimer's disease and seizures and also cancer producing in laboratory mice (it is used as an additive to promote antibody response)
* Thimerosal (a mercury disinfectant/preservative) can result in brain injury and autoimmune disease
* Neomycin and Streptomycin (used as antibiotics) have caused allergic reaction in some people.
Vaccines are also grown and strained through animal or human tissues like monkey kidney tissue, chicken embryo, embryonic guinea pig cells, calf serum, and human diploid cells (the dissected organs of aborted human fetuses as in the case of rubella, hepatitis A and chickenpox vaccines).
