Yes, it's almost Christmas and we love celebrating it but I'm actually referring to the time of year when lots of people, especially kids, get sick.

Before becoming a chiropractor, Dr. Evelyn worked for ten years as an respiratory therapist in the ER. Here are a few things she suggests you do for your children this winter to help prevent or end illness.

-Get adjusted! Kids love getting adjusted and it helps stimulate their immune system!

-Use a humidifier at night. With heaters on in winter children's throats dry out and can become sore.

-Try homeopathics for relief. Kids are very sensitive to medication and response very well to homeopathics. Plus they are safe! We offer many at the office.

-Limit sugar. This is good for everyone but especially important for our little ones. Sugar immediately lowers a persons immune system. Remember, bacteria loves sugar!

-Chiropractic care! Did I already mention this? Chiropractic adjustments are amazing for ending ear pain, often assumed to be an ear infection, and sore throats. Just ask our grand-daughter!

]]>The birth of chiropractichttp://www.onkels.us/newsletter/2011/10/12/the-birth-of-chiropractic.htmlDr. Michael Onkels2011-10-12T22:35:35ZEver wonder how chiropractic was formed? 116 years ago the first chiropractic adjustment was given in Davenport, Iowa. On September 18, 1895, it was Daniel David Palmer (the Father of Chiropractic) making a hands on healing connection and curing a deaf janitor named Harvey Lillard. The Ryan building janitor had been plagued by years of deafness following an injury, and the hands-on thrusting and realignment of spinal vertebrae, provided a miracle today known as a chiropractic adjustment.

Michelle Bachmann started a firestorm with her statement recently when she stated a woman told her that her daughter had become mentally disabled due to a vaccination. Regardless of your political affiliation here is a study from 2007 that concludes that vaccines can cause brain injury in neonatal babies. The results were as follows:

16% of premies had serious cardiopulmonary events within 48 after a vaccine.

17% had brain hemorrhages after a single vaccine and after multiple vaccinations the rate rose to 24%.

As a parent, wouldn’t it be important to know that your child stands a 17% of a breathing crisis as the result of a vaccine? Or a 24% chance of brain hemorrhage with multiple vaccines? Multiples routinely begin at 2 months of age, with 7 vaccines on one day. Here’s the information from the best medical sources. Is the pediatrician going to tell the parents about these studies? Isn’t this level of danger worth knowing about?

What are we doing to our kids?

The abstract of this study is below.

It is on par with Chernobyl and is expected to exceed it with the amount of radiation it is releasing and will continue to release. The biggest concern now besides contaminated food is the cumulative radiation load. Radiation is now showing up, not only in air, but also in tap water, milk and is expected to show up in a variety of food products soon. Children must not be exposed to this as it will produce great harm to them. Ingested radiation is much more dangerous than airborne radiation and children are especially susceptible to it.

The best thing to do is to avoid food products that might be contaminated. Buy from a different source or get them from a different region of the country. Also, a maintainence level of iodine is useful for minimizing exposure to radiation. Brown rice, strawberries, seafood (Atlantic), kelp, etc. are good sources of natural iodine. If you have more questions on how to be more proactive please feel free to contact us!

Japanese nuclear regulators said they raised the rating from 5 to 7 -- the highest level on an international scale of nuclear accidents overseen by the International Atomic Energy Agency -- after new assessments of radiation leaks from the Fukushima Dai-ichi plant since it was disabled by the March 11 tsunami.

]]>Should I be concerned about radiation?http://www.onkels.us/newsletter/2011/3/30/should-i-be-concerned-about-radiation.htmlDr. Michael Onkels2011-03-31T01:22:56ZShould I be concerned about radiation from Japan? Yes, and no! It is unlikely a nuclear meltdown similar to Chernobyl will occur but it is likely that several reactors from the Fukushima plant will slowly meltdown and continue to emit radiation for some time. As of this moment there is significant radiation in the surrounding soil, air and water in Japan which will affect their food products for years. For US citizens radiation is a much smaller concern. Radiation has already been found in US milk and no one quite knows what will happen to seafood products. However, it is incredibly important to note that there is no acceptable (or good) level of radiation. Radiation is accumulative and will mutate dna over time. The risk of immediate illness is probably very low but long term situations are much different. Personally I do not want my child eating or drinking a product with "trace" radiactive particles.
