Here's what our members are saying about us...
"In late February, the local CBS affiliate ran a 3 minute "public interest" (?) story on 2 women that feel they were injured by a chiropractic adjustment. While my patients trust me and what I do to be safe, like most chiropractic patients, they needed help talking to friends and family members about the safety and effectiveness of their choice to continue getting adjusted.
Less than 2 weeks after the TV story, the In Touch Newsletter arrived at my door with its lead article being a review of the Spine article showing no statistical connection between chiropractic adjustments and stroke. I loved it. It is displayed prominently in my office."

"Voice For Health is so well received - patients ask for them. It is a wonderful publication, entertaining and informative in the right kind of language."
Dr. Gerald Arndt
Coshocton, OH
"Thanks for your commitment to the cause and your great Voice For Health publication over the years."
Dr. Robson Timbs
Malvern, South Australia
"Continuous patient education is a MUST. The problem is, how do you do this and keep it fresh, interesting, and informative all at the same time? That’s where Dr. Kim Stetzel’s WEEKLY HANDOUTS Program comes in! She’s done the work. She’s created interesting and informative, full color handouts. All you have to do is put them in your patient’s hands and let the handouts speak for themselves! I highly recommend this program for anyone who is interested in growing and maintaining a Lifetime Family Wellness practice."
Dr. George Auger
Greenville, SC
"What a great program. With our busy schedule, we didn’t always get time to put out regular patient education. Now, we just print out quality, full color, professional looking handouts on our color printer each week. WOW! thanks for taking the work out of consistent patient education."

Special Flu Shot Report
From OsteoMed.com
"Here come the fear mongers...just in
time for the flu vaccine marketing season. Fear is used to persuade
Americans to roll up their sleeves and hand over their children to be
vaccinated. Years ago, people developed resistance the old fashioned
way: By getting the flu. And then when that type of flu came around
again years or decades later, they either didn't get sick or had only a
mild case. The vaccine marketers want to take that away from our
population. What will that make us? Vaccine dependent, of course." -
Barbara Loe Fisher, co-founder of the National Vaccine Information
Center
Three important reasons to avoid the
flu shot:
1. The flu shot contains formaldehyde,
gelatin and traces of chicken cells.
2. The flu shot contains viral contaminants that have been linked to
cancer.
3. You can get the flu shot - and all the risks that go with it - and
still get the flu!
Another good reason to avoid the shot:
to avoid Alzheimer's Disease
According to Hugh Fudenberg, MD, the world's leading immunogeneticist
and 13th most quoted biologist of our time (over 850 papers in peer
reviewed journals), if an individual has five consecutive flu shots
their chance of getting Alzheimer's is ten times higher! (1)
How does the flu shot cause Alzheimer's? Dr. Fudenberg states the
mercury and aluminum in flu shots (and many childhood shots as well as
some RhoGam shots) cross the blood-brain barrier causing brain damage.
Alzheimer's is expected to quadruple. Are flu shots the reason? (2)
Flu hysteria is on the way (again)
Reports claim that "Influenza kills 30,000 to 40,000 Americans every
year." (3) That is simply not the case. According to the Centers for
Disease Control, the number of people who die of the flu are a fraction
of that. Here is what the CDC says:
In 2002: 753 died of the flu (4) In 2001: 267 died of the flu (5) In
2000: 2,175 died of the flu (6) In 1999: 1,685 died of the flu (7)
Those who die of the flu are mostly frail, sickly, weak, malnourished
and unhealthy to begin with. For people in reasonably good health,
dying from the flu is, in fact, very rare - research even shows the flu
shot does not affect mortality of elderly people. In conclusion - the
flu shot is dangerous and useless.
Flu shot does not save lives
The ads say "The flu shot saves lives," but research reveals it's not
so. The flu vaccine isn't preventing death in the elderly, the "high
risk group" that is told to get a flu shot to reduce mortality,
according to a study in the Archives of Internal Medicine. (8)
Although immunization rates in those over 65 have increased 50% in the
past 20 years, there has been no decline in flu-related deaths. In
addition to ineffectiveness, the flu shot's typical ingredients include
aluminum (associated with Alzheimer's and seizures), mercury (linked to
brain damage, ADHD and autism) and phenol (a carcinogen).
In fact, mortality rates for those over 85 between 1968 and 2001 showed
no change as well. The authors add: "Studies substantially overestimate
vaccination benefit"; a diplomatic way of saying it's useless.
If you get the flu avoid aspirin and
Tylenol
Researchers found that flu sufferers who took aspirin or acetaminophen
(Tylenol) stayed sick an average of 3.5 days longer than people who did
not take the drugs.
The researchers discuss the purpose of a fever and note how confused
the medical profession is when it comes to fever. "In spite of
centuries of clinical experience and recent intense investigation, it
is still not clear whether fever is noxious per se, or if the benefits
of antipyretic therapy outweigh its costs." (9)
Natural healthcare providers have always understood the value of fever
in fighting infection and cleansing the body of toxins. This was
recently underlined in a paper showing the following:
The flu protects against cancer
In a research study appearing in The Journal of Cancer Research and
Clinical Oncology, scientists discovered that those with a history of
colds and flu also had less breast, colon, rectal, stomach and ovarian
cancer.
The association between infectious diseases and cancer risk was
investigated. [Those with] carcinomas of the stomach, colon, rectum,
breast, and ovary were interviewed. A history of common colds or
gastro-enteric influenza prior to the interview was found to be
associated with a decreased cancer risk. (10)
In another study, subjects who reported a history of colds, flu and
other infectious diseases had a 30% reduction in risk of brain tumor.
(11)
Natural healthcare providers have traditionally warned against
suppressing the symptoms of colds and flu stressing that's how your
body heals, detoxifies and cleanses - which are protective against
cancer.
Do you have a caterpillar egg
deficiency?
The FluBlok flu shot has caterpillar ovaries as one of its ingredients.

developing egg-less flu vaccine - Your News Source - 03301 (12)
Long-term consequences of flu shots -
immune system damage?
Researchers have discovered that repeated vaccination at a young age
substantially increases the risk of influenza at older ages. This is
possibly due to overall weakening of the immune system. However,
getting the infection naturally appears to strengthen the immune system
and decreases the risk of being re-infected. Natural appears to be
better. (13) Note: The authors did not even look for Alzheimer's
increases due to flu shots, a subject increasingly under discussion.
Good news - majority not getting flu
shot. Common sense is still alive!
In a National Foundation for Infectious Diseases survey conducted Aug.
31-Sept. 3, over half of those interviewed said they would not get the
flu shot. Among reasons cited: 43% said the flu is not serious enough
to warrant vaccination and 23% said they still got the flu even after
being immunized. (14)
In conclusion
Rather than see the flu, colds, fevers and nasal discharge solely as
uncomfortable, we should know that they operate in our best interest:
to heal us, to cleanse us and to detoxify us. Preventing symptoms from
expressing themselves may set us up for more serious disease in the
future. That doesn't mean we should ignore a sick person. Illness is a
time of rest and recuperation. Ill people need comfort, proper
nutrition and support.
Many people who wish to avoid medical suppressive therapies such as
aspirin, Tylenol, antihistamines, decongestants and other drugs
designed to prevent symptoms instead turn to nutrition, chiropractic,
homeopathy, naturopathy, acupuncture and many other natural
"expressive" healthcare systems so their bodies will get the full
benefit from their symptoms - cleansing, healing and improved health.
