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

So was I. Big deal, we're all afraid. Just do it! I got 86 new patients in one week (they continued to arrive for months) after being on one radio show. It cost me $0 to get on. I'll show you how. It's easy. Find out how to do it yourself in 4 or 5 easy steps. Go to www.korenpublications.com for How to Get on Radio and TV by Tedd Koren, DC. Written especially for chiropractors, it'll be the best investment you ever made.
 

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. - Dr. Kevin Holroyd, Westbank, BC

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. http://www.cnn.com/2002/HEALTH/10/06/genes.on.cd.ap/

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.
Dr. Will Craig willabc@msn.com
PS. I figured it out, I turned them over. Thanks, they look awesome and patients can't put them down!

Tedd... You never cease to amaze me... Your newsletters get better with each issue... Must be the "Viagara" eh!!!!!!!! Frank Smith DRFAS2@aol.com 

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU. YOUR WORDS SAID IT ALL AND PERFECTLY!!! 
SERIOUSLY, THANK YOU. Ken Roy pocketz@mindspring.com 

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-
