Dear Patient,  
 
Summer is come and gone here in Wisconsin. So are the berries; strawberries, blackberries, red raspberries, black raspberries and blueberries.  Berries have an antioxidant that is 50 times stronger than that of Vitamin E. The antioxidant is found in the seed so just swallow it with the fruit. Fall is here now.  So apples, pears, and grapes are among the many local fruits available in this area.
 
I will talk about he benefits of kinesio taping, SOT chiropractics and cold laser treatment.  These treatments enable your body to return a more normal function with this cost-effective treatment. Kinesio taping allows the bones that have separated through daily stress or injury, to pull closer, allowing them to knit or heal back together.  The shape of your skin changes in different body positions.  Kinesio taping allows you to have a custom fit brace made anywhere on the body for $1 to $10; this can be applied within a 15-minute treatment.  Kinesio taping offers state-of-the-art custom braces, which have helped my patient's, correct chronic or acute shoulder, knee, ankle and neck problems due to stress.  
 
SOT chiropractic adjusts the vertebrae in the head and pelvis to help return communication from the brain to the individual cells so that the body can create, from its vast resources, a healing solution for all of your cells.
 
I attended seminars on the Cold Laser treatments back in March of 2006 and also attended a class with Dr. Gonzalez from California.  I have attached a pamphlet that explains how it works and its various uses.  
 
Testimonials  
 
1)      An eight year old presented with head trauma; mild concussion, left jaw pain, lower leg pains and a loss of developed writing skills.  The patient received treatment within 36 hours and continued to receive treatment two times per week.  The patient made a complete recovery within two months of the treatments. The writing skills have come back in great success.  
 
2)      A ten year old girl came in for weakened wrists and ankles, also due to a spinal curvature of 11 of the normal position. She had received kinesio taping, SOT treatment, cold laser and supplement (Iodoral, Coral Calcium, and Vitamin C.) Within twelve weeks of chiropractic treatment, the patient's symptoms improved significantly and the curve in her spine went down to a 7 curvature, increasing its curve by 36%.
 
3)      A 44 year old woman had back pains with spinal scoliosis.  The patient received SOT treatment, kinesio taping, and Iodoral.  The patient's curvature went from 17  to 14  within 16 weeks of care.  She lost 3" off her distortion and back pain.  
 
4)      A 14 year old boy received SOT treatment to improve the four diaphragms, which starts in the clavicle area.  This, along with hard work, helped improve this mathematical abilities to the point his teacher placed him in advanced math courses for the next school year.
 
5)      A 64 year old male, unable to use calculations in his mind over ten, began treatment two years ago.  He continues the care every two to three weeks and can function much better.  He is now more financially savvy, with telemarketers no longer a worry; he is looking for a good honest way to fatten his wallet.  
 
6)      An 80+ year old woman had a bowel control problems since childhood when an adult authority figure made her "hold it". She received cold laser and SOT treatment to the colon area where it recovered.  She no longer has a bowel control problem.  She was being seen for a different joint problem and mentioned that her bowels were bothering her, not knowing a chiropractor could help with a more "internal" problem
 
7)      The average math skill of an eight year old boy went up two grade levels in ability after five months of care and hard work with his teachers and his studying.  This improvement is tied with the four-diaphragm work, which ties in with sacral, and occipital motion for math skills
 
8)      A man in his 50's used to have brain cancer, double vision, and a weak left side of his body.  These have improved with the SOT treatments with other supplements and exercises for where he only has weakness in the left side of his body.  He now mainly has the need to improve the fatigue that still needs improvement
 
9)      A woman in her 40's used to have lupus, severe Reynaud's, and Rosacea.  The lupus is not active now and she is off all medications needed for the lupus.  The Reynaud's is now a mild case of minor inconveniences.  The Rosacea has not budged yet, but we are working on things that may help this.    (Rosacea is a chronic disease that causes a red irritated area on the skin of the nose, forehead, and cheeks. This is due to over dilation of the blood vessels in the skin.  Formally known as Acne Rosacea.)  
 
10)  A 40 year old man has won two Frisbee-golf events for the first time after playing for years due to chiropractic care.
 
11)  A man in his 40's has problems with directions; he got help working through gravity muscles related to the upper leg area.  This balanced help improved the nerve supply to the rectum, colon, liver, and lungs.  
NOTE: One cause of diabetes is a systemic yeast infection.  The yeast gets in the blood and coats the cell of the body and the cells have a hard time absorbing the sugars in the blood to be absorbed in o the cells.  There is neural communication to the brain from each individual cell.  This blockage of sugar causes the cell to demand more due to its stress abilities. There is normally stored sugar in the liver in the form of glycogens.  This is a complex sugar found in the liver.  The demand from the brain causes the liver to release the extra sugar so it is easier to get the sugar to the cells. The barrier (yeast film) is still there, however the higher level of sugar pushes the sugar into the cells. The reason why you get yeast in the blood is from both low and high levels of antibiotics in your diet or in your water.  The fix is to eat four-culture foods such as yogurt, fermented vegetables; pickles, sauerkraut, and Brussels sprouts, and to remove the mechanical stress to the liver and kidney.  Iodoral (an iodine and iodide supplement) has shown clinically to reverse diabetes, prevent breast and prostate cancer, and it pushes the pesticides and herbicides out of the body due to the bromide components in the pesticides and herbicides are removed due to the chemical morality combinations of the Iodoral.  
 
12)  A woman in her 50's had diabetes and was able to restore normal function in about six months.  
 
13)  A man in his 40's was able to get over his diabetes; this was more stubborn so it took nine months.
 
Note:  There are many relatively healthy people who can get over diabetes with diet and exercise.  There are many cases though that follow their physician plan and still are on drugs. Many cases in lower back pains, neck pain, headache, and shoulder extreme weakness were improved with SOT treatments and kinesio taping

The Heart and Its Great Vessels The digestive tract provides a connection for nutrients from the outside of the body to move into the body. Most people would not realize that your outside skin can and does absorb nutrients, like your skin on the inside of your intestines, but actually both areas are of the same tissue. There is an opening at your mouth and your anus that connects the inside skin with the outside skin.  The nutrients that come in through your mouth enter the body by way of a big filter, the skin of your intestine, and then it goes through the liver before going to the right ventricle of the heart.  Your outside skin gets filtered by the liver as well.  The right ventricle receives the venous blood that enters from the body; this includes all the organs except the lungs.  The liver normally stops all and any microbes (free radicals) that get in with food and water before they can enter the general circulation, which goes form the right ventricle to the lung.  In the lung it is filtered again; gasses are exchanged to let off the waste gasses, carbon dioxide and other gasses, in the exchange for oxygen.   When carbon dioxide is exchanged for oxygen, the blue blood becomes bright red.  The blood now flows to the left heart (left atrium and left ventricle) to be pumped into the whole body with arteries rich with nutrients and oxygenated (red) blood.  
 
This blood from the left heart is pumped to the body and to each of its individual cells. The smallest connection (blood vessel) between the arteries and the veins are the capillaries. The capillaries are where the individual cells receive nutrients and wastes products are exchanged from the blood. This is also the area where microbes that get eaten by white blood cells move out of the arterial venous circulation and into the lymph vessels.   I think that microbes are free radicals.  The lymph glands and lymph vessels is where the evidence of auto immune disease is obvious.  The reason they are difficult to identify is because the medical community looks for the infection in venous blood, when the most likely place to find it would be in the arterial blood.  The venous blood has been filtered by lymph glands.  It is very difficult and somewhat risky to draw arterial blood from the big arteries.  Most of the microbes would be in the arterial blood.  It is much easier and safer to draw venous blood so most of the time venous blood is drawn.  There are signs of infection in the venous blood however, if you lymph system works right all the free radicals are taken out of the arterial blood and put into the lymph system. For people who had heart bypass surgery, doctors use veins from the legs as there are no free radicals(microbes) in the veins, this is because the veins in the legs have had lymph drainage already, and the leg veins usually have no free radical (microbe) damage.  
 
C - reactive protein is a blood test which indicates free radical damage. This is medically recognized as the sign of free radicals in the blood, the liver and lungs. C-Reactive proteins can change from week to week depending on the free radical activity and cholesterol which covers the holes that are made by the free radicals. C-Reactive proteins tend to be high in people with arthritis and arterial heart disease.  The liver can clean up the mess in most cases if free radicals are ceased to being introduced to the body.
 
Autoimmune diseases have all the signs of an internal infection, however with traditional blood tests, no source of infection is usually found. When an auto immune disease is present, examination finds lymph gland enlargement similar to "viral" diseases such as; mono, mumps, measles, herpes, the common cold, polio, etc.  Medical practitioners think that cancer may come from viruses.  In an article written by prominent surgeon, Dr. Charles S. Cobbs, a neurosurgeon at Birmingham Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Alabama, he found that the herpes virus in every case of colo-rectal cancer in his patients.  He also found the same virus in Brain Cancer.  Herpes is a virus that is large in comparison to the other viruses. The foods that prevent colon cancers are; cruciferous vegetables; cabbage, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, kale and kohlrabi.  The cabbage family foods are high in natural sulfur that is also found in the food supplement with MSM.  The food supplement that I carry from Dr. Klausen is #42 MSM, has several other nutrients which make it more effective than other plain MSM supplements that can be purchased at other places.
 
White blood cells are the blood cells that devour viruses and microbes that invade by getting past the liver's filter for the digestive tract.  White blood cell counts of "normal" are in the range of 5000 to 10000.
 
I started using a low amount of Vitamin C with bioflavonionds, 1 gram to three grams per day.  I eat very little refined sugar.  I eat "God" food; I use carbon-filtered water and receive chiropractic care once a week. The carbon filtration removes many drugs and impurities from the water.  My white blood cell test results come back as under normal 4000 to 4500.  Yet, no auto immune disease was found.  
 
It looks like the answer to correct auto immune diseases is to stop the invasion of as many microbes as possible.  Drink good carbon-filtered water.  The 10 stage available here is a step up from the carbon filter.  Also, eat "God" food.  Additionally get your ligaments, the connective tissues to you bones, tightened up so your muscles work when they are suppose to work, instead of holding your bones together all the time and the muscles getting fatiqued.  The liver normally maintains your ligament integrity with B-complexes, which is made in your large intestine by yeasts.  These yeasts are kept in the large intestine by the healthy bacteria, in four-culture yogurts (Mountain High brand is most preferred) and "natural pickles", fermented vegetables that contain vinegar.  
 
Quiz Answers
 
1) We all have blue blood. The blood is a bluish color in our veins due to its low oxygen level and high carbon dioxide level.  The blood that comes from the lungs is more red than blue. The lungs pull carbon dioxide out of the blood and replace it with oxygen. The royalty of Europe in the middle ages married first cousins too often, giving a higher chance of hemophilia. This condition interferes with the oxygen carrying capacity in the blood, so they had blue blood in more places in their body than most other people. 
 
2) There are many microbes that can invade your body through water, food, and even air. Most people are not aware of the possible microbes that can be in city water, which is treated, and in most country waters, which are untreated. The state does not require water to be tested for protozoa molds, fungus or viruses.  The testing for these things are cost prohibitive and it's usually less expensive to put on an extra good filter like the ones sold in my office.  
 
3) Antibiotics, pesticides, herbicides, and any drugs that people or animals take in that don't break down can be in your water.  Most drugs take a long time to break down and they are toxic to life forms.  The village had done water testing for pesticides and herbicides, but they test to the level of parts per million, however damage can happen when you have any amount of the above in your water.  The people that are most susceptible are below the ages of five and the elderly as their organs are developing yet or are starting to shut down.  
 
4) Two organisms; Salmonella and E. coli.  There are many other microbes that can make you sick and the government only tests for what the law dictates. Incidentally, in the city they put chloride in the water to kill the other microbes that are not tested for; however one of the strongest microbes, the protozoa, are not killed by chlorine.  There are many good carbon filters that will stop most of the protozoan, such as cryptosporidium and guardia lambdia, from coming through by stopping the cyst forms of the protozoa.
 
5) Lead has been outlawed in use of gasoline for many years, to help protect wear to valves in the gas powered engines. Low level lead is everywhere. Mercury is every where as well, however they are now phasing out all oral thermometers due to the dangerous toxins (mercury) they contain, if broken.  There are many other heavy metals. In brief heavy metals interfere with contraction of muscle through disruption of calcium and magnesium function as they all have a double positive bond.  The heavy metals all can cause severe neurological function disruptions.  You can avoid heavy metals in you water with a 10-stage filter system.  
 
6) The two lobes of the brain that connect to each other at the corpus collosum are the temporal lobes.  The temporal lobes are under the temporal bone, which is under the ears and the ear canal.  Women have a stronger connection between the two brains than men do.  
 
Kinesio Taping
 
In April 2006, I learned how to tape for the sacroiliac joint.  This has been a big help with Category II symptoms of jaw problems, neck pain, ear pain, loss of balance, tinnitus, lateral headaches, shoulder, arm and hand pain, lateral chest pain, groin pain, lateral thigh pain, keen, ankle and feet problems, hypoglycemia, menstrual problems and lower back pain.  
 
The tape is applied to the buttocks area with the leg in a position to approximate the sacrum to the Ilium.  Once the tape is in place, you can move the leg wherever you want, and the bones stay close together as the tape holds the skin in place.  The skin shape holds the pelvic bones together so individual bones can tighten their bony connections, ligaments.  This reduces the Cat II stress with less treatment time and faster healing response with the body.
 
If someone is sensitive to the tape, Cold Laser treatment to the area where the bones connect is possible as well.  The cold laser works the same way except you need to do the treatments two or three times, instead of one time with the taping.  Either way will work for people.  I have found that most people need to wear the tape for two to six days.
 
I have learned how to tape out the Category I stress by taping the forearm and lower legs, where two bones are near to one another.  I have used this technique with my patients and it has helped reduce the amount of Cat I stress.  Any visceral disturbances; skin disorders, numbness in facial structures or extremities, insomnia, lower back pain, headaches, nervousness and weight problems.  I tape the forearm or lower leg with the head in full flexion or full extension depending on their indicators.  The lower leg (tibia fibula)ties into the temporal motion and the forearm (motion of the radius of the ulna) ties with the motion of the occiput.  This helps with the Cat I stress.  I do all the taping adjusting based on SOT indicators.    
 
Gamma II Fiber Cranial Adjustments  
  

 
Gamma II Fiber Adjustments are combined with cold laser to the ear and tympanic membrane and Cat II taping.  The treatments to the ear with a cold laser returns function to the temporal lobe. The part of the brain that connects the two brains is called the "corpus collosum".  The temporal lobes are located right under the ears.
 
This cranial adjustment involves many steps in which the goal is to improve the support of the brain and to establish a return of the normal draining of fluids off the top of the brain.  This allows for an easier flow of fresh fluid back into the brain's circulation.  This fresh fluid nurtures the brain, allowing it to function in a more normal manner.  There are many diseases that originate from slow drainage of the Cerebral Spinal Fluid (CSF) from the brain, one major disease is hydrocephalus. The main reason to do the adjustment on most patients is to help with fatigue and lack of stamina, tinnitus, and forgetfulness. I will list symptoms related to the effects of lower CSF flow.  All three categories are affected directly by slower CSF flow.  
 
Category I: Any visceral disturbance, skin disorders, numbness in facial structures or extremities, insomnia, lower back pain, headaches, nervousness and weight problems.
 
Category II: Jaw problems, neck pain, ear pain, loss of balance, tinnitus, lateral headaches, shoulder, arm and hand pain, lateral chest pain, groin pain, lateral thigh pain, knee, ankle, and feet problems, hypoglycemia, lower back pains, and menstrual problems.  
 
Category III: Pain down the back of the leg, burning sensations down the back of the leg, pins and needles in the leg, tightness in the leg, numbness in the leg or back, poor bowel or bladder control, pain during sitting, rising, coughing, coldness in the extremities.
 
I learned recently that if my patients were getting enough calcium magnesium, Vitamin D and Vitamin C with bioflavonoids and ample exercise, which they would show up with the ability to correct all 3 levels of the gamma II fiber.  Those nutrients help to nurture the bone to new levels of normal bone strength.  Each visit is a Three-step process.
 
STEP 1:  Cold laser to the ear and tympanic membrane 
STEP 2:  Gamma II Fiber 
STEP 3:  Taping of sacroiliac joint.
 
Most patients can complete this phase or corrections within four visits.
 
I would invite you all to call and schedule an appointment for you to get a regular adjustment or if you desire the correction path.  The choice is to take care of it now or later.  Call when you are ready to get SOT treatment and taping or laser to restore neurological functions. Call 341-7102
