And for part two of today's double feature...
If you have been following any type of health news recently there has been a wealth of information being released about the many wonderful benefits of the sunshine vitamin.
In fact on November 7th I will be putting on a workshop about vitamin D. Check out this link for more info.
An article in The Times of India reports that even vitamin D may be considered "nature's antibiotic." Here are a few quotes from the story:
"Right from the health of your immune system to prevention of heart disease and even vulnerability to influenza, vitamin D is now seen as one of the most critical nutrients for overall health."
"About 70 percent of the population of the United States has insufficient levels of vitamin D. This is a critical issue as we learn more about the many roles it may play in fighting infection, balancing your immune response, helping to address autoimmune problems, and even preventing heart disease..."
You can read the full article here at The Times of India website.
If you are interested in reading more, there is a great article that has over 20 quotes from different sources about vitamin D and some of the recent findings. You can find it here on NaturalNews.com.

CBS Reporter Blows the Lid Off the Swine Flu Media Hype
Today I'm going to be posting two articles. The first is an addition to a blog that I posted on November 11th. Information about the swine flu, FDA and CDC just keeps pouring in and I want to make sure that everyone reading this blog is seeing this important information.
This interview was originally aired on CBS News and was posted on Mercola.com.
To give a little background, the reporter on this story is Sharyl Attkison. She is a well-respected CBS news anchor and is known for going the extra mile in reporting. The connections she is finding between these for-profit industries (pharmaceutical corporations) and government regulatory agencies is appalling.
See for yourself in the video below.
For a more detailed audio interview go to Mercola.com and watch the first video that is on the web page. It's a one-on-one interview between Dr. Mercola and Sharyl Attkison and goes into a lot more detail of what she has been uncovering.

Eating Healthy for Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving is one of my favorite times of the year. Spending time with my family, watching football, eating all the great food, then falling asleep usually because I ate too much, it's all a great time. Not to mention, giving thanks for the positives in my life.
Since becoming a chiropractor I have become much more aware of what happens to my body during the holidays, and the official holiday season begins next week!
Today's post is not going to be about what to avoid or how to counteract everything that you consume, but more on sensible tips to monitor yourself and setting some guidelines to direct your focus. As the old saying goes "Fail to plan and you plan to fail."
Some of the information for today's article comes from Healthcastle.com, read the full article by clicking on the link, but I will highlight a few of the key points.
A Healthier Thanksgiving
Don't go to the Thanksgiving dinner hungry: we often eat faster and more when we are hungry - therefore eat a wholesome breakfast and lunch on the day to avoid overeating at dinner time.
Thanksgiving dinner is not an all-you-can-eat buffet: Fill your plate half with vegetables, one quarter with a lean meat and the rest with a starch of your choice. Eat slowly and stop when you are full.
Side Dishes - watch your portion size: go for smaller portions. This way you can sample all the different foods. Moderation is always the key.
Make a conscious choice to limit high fat items: high fat food items can be found in fried and creamy dishes as well as cheese-filled casseroles in a traditional Thanksgiving meal . For instance, mashed potatoes are usually made with butter and milk; green bean casseroles are often prepared with cream of mushroom soup, cheese and milk and topped with fried onions; candied yams are loaded with cream, sugar and marshmallows. If you cannot control the ingredients that go in to a dish, simply limit yourself to a smaller helping size. Again moderation is the key.
One of the most important things to remember is that it takes time for your stomach to signal your brain that you are full. Some other useful tips to keep things in moderation are to put your fork down between bites, make sure your chewing your food thoroughly, and sip some water between courses or bites. These three tips will allow your body to adapt to all the wonderful foods you'll be eating this holiday season.
For some additional tips on how to maintain a fitness schedule and eating habits during this years holiday season check out this Womenfitness.com article (Yes, it even applies to men).

Vaccinations for Swine Flu, Seasonal Flu and More
Today's post I decided to go a little more in depth with some very informative interviews.
The first video is an interview done by Dr. Mercola with Dr. Russell Blaylock reviewing all the key data collected from the CDC's own information regarding the flu and vaccination. The CDC stands for the Centers for Disease Control and is considered the authority of health information and statistics.
This is a highly intriguing set of YouTube videos, there's 4 of them, that answer many of the questions that Dr. Wilkins and myself get everyday.
The following is the first video, I will then include the other three links to review the rest.
Video 2
Video 3
Video 4
The second part of today special post is very similar in content, but is a YouTube video of a testimonial by Gary Null performed in the New York State Assembly on October 19th of this year. The testimonial is an address of the current state of safety and effectiveness research by the pharmaceutical corporations and the results of injecting these inadequately studied chemicals into our bodies.
Part 2
Part 3
I encourage you to find some time to watch these video's. You will benefit by hearing expert information, which will allow you to make informed choices, show people where you heard accurate and unbiased information, and feel confident that you are making wise decisions with your health.
Your job doesn't end there. You are on this forum for a reason. Take advantage and learn great stuff, but pass this on to people you care and love, don't they deserve to have a high quality of existence?

Cereal that boosts immunity?
Recently I came across this story reported by Mike Adams on NaturalNews.com regarding health claims made by Kellogg's stating that their cereal now boosts your immunity.
I took a double take when I read the headline.
Take a look at the original story found on USA Today here.
The fact is the first few ingredients contain sugar, high fructose corn syrup, and partially hydrogenated oils. Regardless of the other ingredients, these three make it an immunity suppressant!
Kellogg's claim is that the added vitamins make the cereal a healthy choice... but how can synthetically made vitamins sprayed on the cereal take the place of naturally occurring vitamins found in fruits and vegetables?
If you would like to read a great opinion piece regarding this same topic I highly recommend this article from NaturalNews.com. He poses some important questions and lays down some facts about cereals marketed for children.
