Flu
Shot Season - Think twice before you shoot!I'd like to repeat the Flu/Alzheimer's connection that so many of you have asked about.
According to Hugh Fudenberg, MD, the world's leading immunogeneticist and 13th most quoted biologist of our times (nearly 850 papers in peer review journals), if an individual has had five consecutive flu shots his/her chances of getting Alzheimer's Disease is ten times higher than if they had one, two or no shots. I asked Dr. Fudenberg why this was so and he said it was due to the mercury and aluminum that is in every flu shot (and some childhood shots). The gradual mercury and aluminum buildup in the brain causes cognitive dysfunction. Is that why Alzheimer's is expected to quadruple?
Notes: Recorded from Dr. Fudenberg's speech at the NVIC International Vaccine Conference, Arlington, VA September, 1997. Quoted with permission. Alzheimer's to quadruple statement is from John's Hopkins Newsletter Nov 1998.
Dr. Fudenberg's web address is www.nitrf.org. Interesting info on treating autism on the site.
The flu vaccine gets the most-useless-vaccine-of-all-time award. Now the CDC is recommending the vaccine for children under two years old and all adults over 50. Don't fall for it.
Flu Facts
* Flu vaccine manufacturers are notoriously inaccurate at predicting the appropriate viruses to use in an individual year's vaccine, rendering the vaccine ineffective.
* Flu vaccine is relatively ineffective in those patients most at risk of flu complications.
* The vaccine has caused GBS in recipients during several different flu seasons.
* Those most at risk of flu complications probably share a higher risk of adverse reactions to the flu vaccine as well.
The Vaccine Guide is available at Koren Publications 800-537-3001, www.korenpublications.com
Fluzone is the new flu vaccine for babies (recommended 6 months
to 23 months). You can get it as a 0.25 mL prefilled syringe (for pediatric
use) and as a 0.5 mL prefilled syringe. Fluzone contains mercury: 25 µg
mercury/0.5 mL dose. It also has chicken embryos and formaldehyde and

Chiropractors: rabid dogs, killers?Who said this about chiropractic and chiropractors:
"The only licensed medical superstition in the US today…killers… rabid dogs…bone-cracking charlatans."
Why, it was our good friend Stephen Barrett, MD in "Chiropractors Wangle $100 Million Windfall." New Physician (December 1972), 721-725
Guess what? Dr. Barrett now has a chiropractic referral directory. That's right, he seems to like some DCs. If you go to http://www.chirobase.org/13RD/directory.html you too may be added to his list. You just have to write to him at guidelines@chirobase.org and agree to the following (partial list):
- My practice is limited to the care of musculoskeletal problems.
- I publicly endorse immunization, fluoridation, and other standard public health measures.
- I reject…that "subluxations" and/or "nerve interference" are the cause or underlying cause of disease.
- I do not…promote regular "preventive" adjustments,
- I do not routinely perform or order x-ray examinations because most patients do not need them. I do not utilize 14" x 36" full-spine x-ray examinations."
So far 46 DCs have signed on. Go to the site and see if one of them is practicing near you. One of the names I recognized is actually teaching in a chiropractic college and another is on a federal agency. Can you find them?
The Foundation for Health Choice has
a simple goal:
"The freedom to heal and be healed"
Freedom from all coercive medical
procedures
Freedom from interference in our private healthcare decisions
The Freedom to "Just say no" to immunizations
The Freedom to used "unapproved" healthcare (unapproved by the FDA that
is).
We've already started fighting. We are working on a case in federal court
that can be critical in challenging the legality of mandatory vaccination.
We will fight for freedom in other countries as well. We need your help.
PLEASE visit our web site
www.foundationforhealthchoice.com for info. We really need help in this
case and hope you'll join us at any level of support. We'll send you some
great information. Thanks in advance, Tedd

I didn't need a scarier title - at least for some of us. This is really about asparagines, a naturally occurring amino acid that turns into a cancer-causing monster when it's heated with certain sugars such as glucose called acrylamide.
The story first broke in April 2002 when Swedish scientists announced finding high acrylamide levels in starchy foods cooked at high temperatures: french fries, potato chips, some types of breakfast cereals and breads - and other high-carbohydrate foods that are fried or baked at high temperatures. The chemical was not found in boiled foods, which are cooked at lower temperatures. The Swedish findings were confirmed in June in Norway, Britain and Switzerland,
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has made studying acrylamide one of its highest research priorities,
Most MMR studies are meaningless, investigation claims
For years, at my seminars I've been telling doctors that the world of vaccination is full of junk science and I give examples from the top medical journals.
Now comes this from The Guardian" A massive
review of the evidence on the safety of the measles, mumps and rubella (MMR)
vaccine has concluded that most studies to date have been meaningless, and
that more research into the vaccine's long-term effects is needed.
The review found that only 20 out of 3,500 safety studies of MMR could help
determine whether it contributes to the development of a variety of
conditions, including autism.
The review's author, Dr Thomas Jefferson, said "In most of the studies we
assessed, it was almost impossible to ascertain what had actually been done.

CCE-Council For Chiropractic
Eradication - A scary
topic fitting for Halloween.
What's the difference between a DC graduating from National and other
medical-chirop schools and an osteopath who manipulates? None, except we
don't prescribe drugs - yet! I'm sure the CCE will soon be pushing drugs.
The CCE is turning DCs into Osteopaths. Not real osteopaths mind you,
traditional osteopathy is wonderful. AT Still's writings should be studied
in chiropractic school along with those of other vitalistic healers. But
what has osteopathy become? Allopathy. Chiropractic is next and the CCE is
forcing us there (well some of us are forced, others are happy to run
there).
Why must we adopt a medical mechanistic philosophy in order to have an
accreditation agency? We don't. The CCE: Winterstein, Reed, Walker and the
rest are destroying our profession. Soon we'll be third rate osteopaths.
Measles Virus Found In Boy's Brain
After MMR Vaccine This
is pretty fantastic. How many other children has this happened to? We simply
don't know because no one is bothering to find out. A 13-year-old boy
developed severe epilepsy after receiving the MMR shot has been found to
have measles virus from the vaccine in his brain.

What? You're Not Using the Tedd
Koren Patient Newsletter? Now that's scary!
It really
works, it's inexpensive and patients love it. It's 100% persionalizable:
they'll think you wrote it all.
I'm putting all kinds of neat photos in it from our photos shoots of kids
getting adjusted, lectured to, families, etc.
Plus new articles on
Chiropractic and Spinal Research, Humor, Words of Wisdom and lots more. You
need to educate your patients, this is a great way to do it. Try it for one
month - no contract.
A patient said to me: 'When are we getting your next newsletter? It's
the only thing I really look forward to finding in my mailbox! We sit and
read it over dinner.' In some circumstances, a good laugh and a hug can be
as beneficial as a good adjustment. But when you can offer all three- love,
laughter and health -WOW! Your newsletters are great and always an
inspiration. - Dr. Christopher Lyden
Great newsletters…we have been receiving amazing compliments about them. -

Do You Have Too Much Money?
This is an odd thing, but chiropractors sometimes like odd things. If you've
got way too much money here's a great legacy: J. Craig Venter will burn your
entire DNA sequence onto a CD for $500,000. The former chief of Celera hopes
to eventually force the cost of the process down to the point that it'll be
commonplace and covered by insurance.

The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled there cannot be a Nativity scene in
Washington, D.C. this Christmas. This isn't for any religious reason -- they
simply have not been able to find 3 Wise Men and a Virgin. However, there
was no problem finding enough asses to fill the stable.
LETTERS
I was at a Home and Garden Party last
night, and one of the women there had brought her newborn girl. The girl
seemed fussy all night long and finally got to a point where the mother had
to leave the room because the child would not stop crying. I watched her try
to nurse and do everything she could to calm her down, but nothing worked.
The child's crying became very high pitched and really disturbed me. My
first thought was that the child needed to be adjusted, so I started talking
to the mom about chiropractic. She said she was having her four-year-old
adjusted but had not had the newborn because she was nervous about it. I
reassured her as both mine were adjusted within days of their birth.
Then I saw the most terrifying thing in my life. The child's eyes were wide
open and she had this look of terror in her eyes. Then I noticed her body,
she was as stiff as a board, her toes were pointed so straight it would have
made a ballerina jealous. You could just tell by the look in her eyes that
her body was being wracked with pain. I was in shock, literally, it took me
a couple of minutes to gather my thoughts and I asked her when the child's
last vaccination was. The mother shook her head and said, "I knew it, it was
five days ago." She said she had been fussy ever since she had had her last
vaccination, and that she seemed to be getting worse every day. I asked her
how many they gave her. Four, they gave that baby girl 4 vaccinations in one
visit! One of them was the new PCV-7. The moms husband had just told her
that morning not to vaccinate the kids anymore because he had heard a radio
program and was not sure vaccinations were safe, he wanted to do some
research first, but she went ahead and did it anyways. By now she was in
tears and saying she wished she had listened to her husband.
Fortunately my chiropractor was there and she adjusted the baby girl. After
the adjustment the baby just melted in the DC's arms, it was amazing. She
was still having periodic screaming fits but seemed to be getting some
relief.
I went home that night and fell into my husbands arms and cried my eyes out.
I had been holding it together while I was with the mom, in order to give
her support, and could hold it in no longer. The mom called me this morning
and said the baby was doing a lot better, she had had a rough night but
seemed back to normal this morning. Now we are going through the steps to
get this reported, she is going to start getting informed on vaccinations
and she is going to start getting the baby adjusted.
One of the things that really bothered me was that she had mentioned to the
Dr. that her daughter seemed to be sick, and she didn't know if it was ok to
vaccinate when they were sick. These Dr.'s are making me sick! For all the
money they spent and the years of education it becomes more clear that they
have no common sense! It scares me to think I know more than some of these
"Dr's." do about a subject so important, and parents are putting their
child's lives in their hands!! Last night's experience instills even deeper
in me that this is a cause worth fighting for! First I was fighting for
something that was right, now I'm mad.

Hi Tedd, I thought I would send you a paragraph I added to your patient
newsletter where it talked about vacations prolonging your life. This is a
life-prolonging vacation I took to Turkey with my church and the
chiropractic care I provided over there. I would love to go back and do
more. The newsletter is great! Samuel R. Jamieson, DC San Jose, CA
Speaking of Vacations…Chiropractic in Turkey
Last month I went on a trip to Turkey where I was able to provide
chiropractic care to some Turkish friends (besides prolonging my own life).
They had never heard of chiropractic before and were all amazed at how much
better they felt. Many told me that I could make a lot of money if I wanted
to practice in Turkey, and since there are only about two chiropractors in
the entire country, I'd have a wide open field of opportunity. I loved the
people and the country, so it is rather tempting!
The friend who I am adjusting in this picture brought in his mother, and she
was pain free after her adjustment. She was so grateful that she invited us
to her summer home at the beach and I got to adjust even more people! She
and her son had been somewhat estranged, and my adjusting her actually
helped reconcile their relationship. Talk about the power of chiropractic!
Dear Dr. Koren,
When I was a young graduate of 2 years in 1988 I took a sabbatical from my
job in England to do the CCSP and the Orthopedics course in the USA. I
filled in time going to visit as many chiropractic clinics as I could. You
were very kind to let me visit your clinic in Philadelphia. I used to just
grab the yellow pages and pick DC's at random to go visit for a few minutes,
hours or half a day. I had no idea at the time of who you were, and I might
add that many of your suggestions and ideas have been implemented into my
practice. When I began noticing a certain T. Koren in our profession's
journals and musings, I often wondered if it was the same bloke I met once!
I would like to add that I do like the "undogmatic" way in which you
presented your philosophy back then, as you do now. Can't say I agree with
everything everyone says in our profession, but then where would the fun be.
Baiju A. Khanchandani, DC, CCSP Italy
Tedd, Appreciate the fast delivery of the brochures. There is a problem,
however. The brochures ALL came printed upside-down. Please correct this
problem immediately.

Tedd, in answer to the question...who is Sandor Needleman ( and to show you
that I do read your newsletter). I believe he was a Woody Allen
character...Also, this just in: The symposium on reincarnation was a huge
success, they are planning to meet again in 200 years. John Caprera, Esq.
An
old man, a boy and a donkey were going to town. The boy rode on the donkey
and the old man walked. As they went along they passed some people who
remarked it was a shame the old man was walking and the boy was riding.
The man and boy thought maybe the critics were right, so they changed
positions.
Later, they passed some people that remarked, What a shame, he makes that
little boy walk. They then decided they both would walk. Soon they passed
some more people who thought they were stupid to walk when they had a decent
donkey to ride. So, they both rode the donkey.
Now they passed some people that shamed them by saying how awful to put such
a load on a poor donkey. The boy and man said they were probably right, so
they decided to carry the donkey. As they crossed the bridge, they lost
their grip on the animal and he fell into the river and drowned.
The moral of the story? If you try to please everyone, you might as well
kiss your ass good-
Until next month,
Tedd
