I was recently reviewing documents for the Center for Disease Control (CDC) about the cost of treatment for common diseases here in the United States. Heart disease, cancer and diabetes are among the top. The CDC reported that 44% of Americans take one or more medications to treat the above listed diseases and that the drugs consumed are not life saving.

Within the group of people over 65 years of age, 84% of them are taking multiple medications. And if they don’t have insurance that pay for medications, they are paying on an average of 34% of their after-tax income. For those under 18 years of age, 25% are taking one or more prescriptions. According the MSNBC.com the number of deaths associated with toxic combinations of pills has risen 3,000% in the last twenty years. Many people will recall the actor Heath Ledger’s death, which was associated with taking a mixture of prescription chemicals that ultimately caused his respiratory system to become lethally suppressed.

I also found on www.mnsbc.com that in the last two years, Americans are listed fifteenth in the world for health out of the top nineteen industrialized nations. We are spending more money on health care than any other country and yet we are close to last place in health. Medicare, when started, used to have thirty people paying into the system for one person drawing money from it for treatments. Now it is two paying in for every one seeking payment for health care expenses. Look, if you develop type II diabetes at age 20 the average cost of treatment per year is $10,000. Multiply that by 30 years and at age 50 that is $300,000.00 spent to treat a condition that is almost 100% reversible and preventable — but not by conventional methods.

We see people working the first half of their life to get wealth and the last half of their life to get health. 70% of bankruptcies in America are due to medical expenses. So here is the best financial advice in the world: take a small amount of money every month or year and invest it in your health. Invest it in people and coaches that can show you how to avoid sickness and disease. Invest in systems that can keep your health and vitality.

Imagine this, you learned at age 20 how to avoid and prevent type II diabetes (remember average cost $10K a year for treatment). You took $2,000.00 of the $10,000 and paid someone (example: a Maximized Living Mentor) to show you how to avoid sickness and disease, to eat well, to remove nerve system pressure, to exercise for health, and manage your peace for the next 30 years. If you take the extra $8,000 that remains and invested it for 30 years, at just 6% interest you would have $669,609.00 at age 50. That’s just if you only avoided type II diabetes. A return on investment of over a half million dollars, just by having someone show you and your family how to be well. That is the best investment you can make.

Invest in your health. That is why we do what we do here. To show you and your family how to avoid sicknesses and diseases, that would potentially drain your savings and resources to treat many preventable diseases, which could and ultimately leave you bankrupt. So make good use of the best investment planner in the world!

Think your sweet tooth is harmless? Well, it just might bite you back. The average American is wolfing down 460 calories from added sugars every day. That’s more than 100 pounds of raw sugar per person per year. (That’s enough to make 3,628 Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups!)

What’s at risk with all this sugar intake isn’t just another cavity; refined carbohydrates cause spikes in your blood sugar levels, tell your body to store fat, and put people at increased risk for diabetes. And that’s another way of saying that it puts people at increased risk of blindness, sexual malfunction, heart attack, and premature death.

All that from a simple candy bar or soda? Not exactly, but consider this: A dollar will buy you about 75 calories’ worth of fresh broccoli, but food manufacturers can use that same dollar to purchase 1,815 calories of sugar. And thanks to government subsidies, high fructose corn syrup - the synthetic sweetener found in so many of the foods in our grocery stores - is even cheaper. It should come as no surprise, then, that added sugars are sabotaging nearly ever packaged and prepared food we put in our bodies — pasta sauces, smoothies, even whole grain breads.

To help you avoid the impact of stealth sugars that run rampant through our food supply, we’ve sifted through all the nutritional data to name the eight biggest sugar bombs in America. Try to keep them from blowing up in your neighborhood. 

Most Sugar-Packed Breakfast Cereal
Quaker Natural Granola: Oats, Honey & Raisins (1 cup)
30 g sugars
420 calories

Warning: Granola’s healthy reputation is way overrated. The problem is those healthy-sounding oats are invariably bathed in a variety of sweeteners, making it not only one of the sweetest cereals in the aisle, but also a caloric overload. In fact, one cup of this stuff has more sugar than two servings of Lucky Charms!
Most Sugar-Packed Salad
Uno Chicago Grill’s Spinach, Chicken and Gorgonzola Salad
38 g sugars
720 calories

The candied walnuts on this salad help to make it sweeter than a double-scoop cone of Ben & Jerry’s Butter Pecan ice cream. Choose a more sensible meal and save the sugar calories for dessert. (Which you’ll share, right?)
Most Sugar-Packed Side Dish
Boston Market’s Cinnamon Apples
42 g sugars
210 calories

This apple dish is right up there with the one Eve served to Adam, and you know how that worked out. Boston Market’s sickly sweet side consists of apples overwhelmed with sugar, brown sugar, soybean oil, and cornstarch. Oh yeah, and a pinch of cinnamon — which is about the only healthy thing about it. If you want this dish done right, make it at home.
Most Sugar-Packed Sandwich
Subway’s Foot-Long Sweet Onion Chicken Teriyaki
38 g sugars
740 calories

The most distressing part: this sandwich finds its way onto Subway’s “healthy” menu. Ignore the claims of low fat that adorn the menu board; the teriyaki sauce contributes nearly 10 teaspoons of sugar to the sandwich, which will soon find their way to your waistline.
Most Sugar-Packed “Healthy” Food
Panera’s Pumpkin Muffin
47 g sugars
530 calories

Stop thinking of muffins as health food and start thinking of them as cake. They’re made from refined flour, contain only trace amounts of fiber, and can pack more sugar than two ice cream bars. Have one of these for breakfast, and you’ve sabotaged your diet for the whole day.
Most Sugar-Packed Kids Meal
Oscar Mayer Maxed Out Turkey & Cheddar Cracker Combo Lunchables
61 g sugars
680 calories

Kids love Lunchables, and for the usual reason: It’s a candy box. Too bad so many busy parents use them to fill empty lunchboxes. But this kids’ meal has more calories than a Whopper and more sugar than two Snickers bars; suddenly, packing your child’s lunch becomes more of a priority. Check the labels, and do everything you can to avoid the bad prepackaged candy and sugary drink combos.
Most Sugar-Packed Breakfast
Bob Evans’ Stacked & Stuffed Strawberry Banana Cream Hotcakes
102 g sugars
1,200 calories

Despite the fruity name, this is truly one of the worst breakfast entrées in America. Each stack has 25.5 teaspoons of sugar — that’s more sugar than six funnel cakes. Think of this as their diabetic special — one that contributes to the disease instead of curing it.
The Most Sugar-Packed Food in America
Baskin Robbins Large York® Peppermint Pattie Shake
281 g sugars
2,210 calories

Baskin Robbins’ line of candy-based beverages are horrendous on so many accounts: Each large shake has a day’s worth of calories, up to three days of saturated fat, and an ingredient list so long — some more than seven inches — it requires an advanced degree in chemistry to decipher. This particular caloric catastrophe has more sugar than 11 Peppermint Patties!

For more insulin-spiking, gut-busting, sugar-laden foods, check out these sickly sweet offenders that rate as America’s most sugar-packed foods!

I recently had a patient — who has made amazing changes in their health and the health of their family — tell me that it was too far to drive here from Battle Ground.  They also said it was cost prohibitive and now their gas expenditure was $5 to make their weekly appointment that they have been doing for over four years.

This puzzled me. My only question is: What is your health worth? To them, their health was not worth $5. I bet if they were lying in bed dying from terminal cancer they would wish $5 could pull them out. I would have paid and done anything to see my grandfather come out of lung cancer. My mom would have paid and done anything. You cannot put a price on your health. The cost of tea in china, the cost of a postage stamp, nor the cost of a gallon of gas has anything to do with YOUR health.

The most destructive and damaging condition to your health is the vertebral subluxation:

1.  Do you understand the dangers of Subluxation?  It is an absolute that if you have subluxation you are building disease every second you leave it there; it’s the cause of cancer, heart disease and early death.  If you understood that, do you think you would pay your cell phone instead of eliminating the cause of all disease? It’s my job to show you that!

2.  Do you understand that it costs you more to leave Subluxation there and you can save money by removing it? New studies show that at retirement the average person needs an extra $225,000 in retirement savings to pay for medical expenses; plus no one lives to 60 in great health.  So at 65 people are going to be broke, in pain, on multiple medications with someone pushing you in a walker every day if you don’t take care of your health now.  Subluxation eats away at the spine and spinal cord every second and destroys your life.  If you truly knew that you would never leave it there. If you knew that every adjustment raised your immune system and gave you the best quality of life you would pay and drive no matter what gas or groceries cost.  Every adjustment actually saves you money –  you actually make money with every adjustment!

I still can’t believe people will spend more money on cars, going out to dinner, trips, cell phones, clothes, etc., than they would on their own body! That doesn’t make any sense! 

I was recently on the radio an had an e-mail from a listener:  “Dr. Troy, My wife is at a stand still with pain in her back and cannot find relief.  She had a liver transplant March 20th this year and her liver function test are excellent.  She has osteoporosis and is taking Fosimax.  Can you give us a test to see if you can help with this problem?  I am still changing her bandages for an area that is still healing on her stomach.  She is taking Myfortic and Cyclosporine for anti-rejection.  She is taking Amoxicillian for an infection she picked up since the operation.  What do you think? What would be our next step?  Thanks, G W”

Wow, can you imagine! Imagine if that was your family member. Taking care of yourself is so important. I bet this family has only one priority:  TO GET HER WELL.

I am going to do my best to show this family that subluxations destroy the body and nerve system and lead to liver transplants and multiple medications and infection. Do you think he will happily put $5 in his gas tank to get his wife here three times a week? I would bet her life on it.

Remember health is most important and vertebral subluxations destroy life and cause an early, miserable death. To continue to get the most from care at Absolute Life Chiropractic:  1) keep all scheduled appointments,  2) make-up any missed appointments immediately, 3) attend all the Advanced Talks, 4) do your Home Care, and 5) tell your friends about Absolute Life.

Together we will create an Absolute Life Town and not a medical town. 
Blessings,

SICK MONKEYS: RESEARCH LINKS VACCINE LOAD, AUTISM SIGNS
BY DAN OLMSTED

The first research project to examine effects of the total vaccine load received by children in the 1990s has found autism-like signs and symptoms in infant monkeys vaccinated the same way. The study’s principal investigator, Laura Hewitson from the University of Pittsburgh, reports developmental delays, behavior problems and brain changes in macaque monkeys that mimic “certain neurological abnormalities of autism.
The findings are being reported Friday and Saturday at a major international autism conference in London.

Although couched in scientific language, Hewitson’s findings are explosive. They suggest, for the first time, that our closest animal cousins develop characteristics of autism when subjected to the same immunizations — such as the MMR shot– and vaccine formulations — such as the mercury preservative thimerosal — that American children received when autism diagnoses exploded in the 1990s.
The first publicly reported results of this research project come in both oral and poster presentations on Friday and Saturday at the International Meeting For Autism Research in London. Poster presentations must go through a form of peer review before they are presented at the conference; the papers have not yet appeared in a scientific journal.
In addition to Hewitson’s oral presentation today, on Saturday in one of two related poster presentations, the researchers also are reporting in their abstract that “vaccinated animals exhibited progressively severe chronic active inflammation [ gastrointestinal tissuej whereas unexposed animals did not. We have found many significant differences in the 0! tissue gene expression profiles between vaccinated and unvaccinated animals” Numerous scientific studies, as well as many parents, report severe 01 ailments in children with regressive autism.
The results are sure to be controversial, in part because they lend credence to studies first published in 1998 by British pediatric gastroenterologist Andrew Wakefield, one of Hewitson’s co-authors on these findings. He described an unusual inflammatory bowel condition in children who had regressed into autism after they received the measles- mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccination. Wakefield is currently fighting charges of medical misconduct in Britain over allegations of conflict-of-interest and improper procedures related to that paper. He denies the charges.

In the program for the conference, the 7th Annual International Meeting for Autism Research (IMYAR), there are three separate presentations listed that report results from the overall research program. The first, an oral presentation entitled “Pediatric Vaccines Influence Primate Behavior, and Amygdala Growth and Opioid Ligand Binding” (the “amygdala abstract) was led by Dr. Hewitson and lists 12 co-authors, including five of her colleagues from the University of Pittsburgh and Dr. Wakefield Other authors are chemists, pathologists and psychologists from the universities of Kentucky, California Irvine. and Washington.
Hewitsons introductoiy presentation will be followed by two poster presentations on Saturday one of the two, “Pediatric Vaccines Influence Primate Behavior, and Brain
Stem Volume and Opioid Ligand Binding”, was led by Wakefield and includes six additional co-authors.

It focuses on the developmental effect of vaccine exposures on brain growth during infancy. The second, “Microarray Analysis of 01 Tissue in a Macaque Model of the Effects of Infant Vaccination,’ was led by Steven Walker of Wake Forest University and performed gene array analysis on the intestinal tissues of the vaccinated and unvaccinated monkeys.
The studies address — albeit in animals, not children –one of the major criticisms by parents and scientists concerned about a possible link between the greatly stepped-up immunization schedule in the 1990s, including higherexposure to the mercury preservative, and autism.

While the Food and Drug Administration approves individual vaccines as safe and effective, and an advisory committee to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends the childhood immunization schedule adopted by the states, the overall health outcomes from the total vaccine load, versus no vaccinations at all, have never been compared, the authors said, A bill requiring the government to conduct a study of autism rates in unvaccinated American children is pending in the US. House of Representatives. co-sponsored by Reps. Carolyn Maloney (D-N.Y.) and Tom Osborne (It-Neb.).

Just this week, former National Institutes of Health Director Bernadine Healy called for more research into a possible vaccine link to autism and said the question had not been settled, despite repeated assertions to that effect by the CDC, the Institute of Medicine and the American Academy of Pediatrics.
In the abstract for todays oral presentation, the authors noted that macaques, the type of monkey used in the study, ‘are commonly used in pre-clinical vaccine safety testing, but the combined childhood vaccine regimen, rather than individual vaccines, has not been studied. Childhood vaccines are a possible causal factor in autism, and abnormal behaviors and anomalous amygdata growth are potentially inter-related features of this condition

The study found evidence of both behavioral and biological changes after the 13 macaque monkey infants were administered proportional doses, adjusted for age, of the vaccines recommended between 1994 and 1999. Three monkeys were not given any vaccines.
Primate development, cognition and social behavior were assessed for both vaccinated and unvaccinated infants using standardized tests developed at the Washington National Primate Research Center.” MRJ and PET scans looked for brain changes after administration of the MMR.
“Compared with unexposed animals, significant neurodevelopmental deficits were evident for exposed animals in survival reflexes, tests of color discrimination and reversal, and learning sets,” the authors reported. Differences in behaviors were observed between exposed and unexposed animals and within the exposed group before and after MMR. vaccination, Compared with unexposed animals, exposed animals showed attenuation of amygdala growth and differences in the amygdala binding of [ IC]diprenorphine. Interaction models identified significant associations between specific aberrant social and non-social behaviors, isotope binding, and vaccine exposure.”
One of the Saturday abstracts makes the further point that the research “revealed significant differences between exposed and unexposed animals” in the kinds of developmental behaviors a mother might be able to observe. “with delayed acquisition of root, suck, clasp hand, and clasp foot reflexes.” They conclude by noting that This animal model examines the neurological consequences of the childhood vaccine regimen, Functional and ,.. brainstem anomalies were evident in vaccinated animals that may be relevant to some aspects of autism. The findings raise important safety issues while providing a potential animal model for examining aspects of causation and disease pathogenesis in acquired neurodevelopmental disorders.’

The shocking link between psychiatric drugs, suicide, violence and mass murderWHISTLEBLOWER MAGAZINEPosted July 6, 2007, 1:00 a.m. Eastern

“I think this is one of the most important and frankly mind-boggling editions of Whistleblower we’ve ever produced,” said Kupelian. “The information in it could very well be life-changing - or even life-saving.”
