The Health Department's "Whoops" About Local Whooping Cough Outbreak

An interesting message came on the radio yesterday from the Taney County Department of Public Health.  I perked up my ears because it was announced that there were 4 cases of whooping cough (pertussis) in our local county over the last month.  The public health spokesman said that was a bit of a red flag.  (agreed)  Then she said the greatest prevention of whooping cough was vaccination…and that two of the cases were children who had not been vaccinated.  It’s what she didn’t say that got my attention.  If two children were not vaccinated, then implied in that statement is that two children were vaccinated…and they still got whooping cough.  I’m not writing this to stir up the vaccination controversy.  Vaccination is a very personal decision and not an uncomplicated one.  My point is this:  based on this little example…the vital lesson is that we all keep our immune system functioning at its optimum in order to keep threatening illnesses like this at bay.  

So…as a good parent you ask "what do we do instead?" Here is what Dr. Wayne recommends:
 1. lets keep our children away from sugar & processed foods.  We can promote plenty of fresh fruits, veggies and good quality lean meat instead.  (Believe me…based on experience they really do get a taste for this).
  2.lets make sure our children are getting regular chiropractic adjustments to ensure the brain is communicating with the body without any interference 
 3. we can  restore balance by stimulating acupuncture alarm points  (can be done by hand instead of needles on little people).

Cough Juice: A Recipe from Talia

Talia Marin

Dear Daddy's Patient:

I had a bad cough.  I think my friends at school shared it with me.  It made it hard to lay down and sleep.  My mommy looked up a recipe in Reader's Digest: Home Remedies and made it for me.  It really helped. I want to share it with you, in case you have a cough.

Cough Juice
A few slices of fresh Ginger Root
A few slices of fresh Onion
2-3 Garlic cloves, minced
Honey, enough to cover ingredients

Place ingredients in saucepan on stove.  Boil them for about 15 minutes.  Strain pulp and save juice.  Let it cool.  Refrigerate.

I surprised my mommy and daddy by drinking this without fussing.  It helped me and I hope it helps you. Beware, your kisses may be a little smelly!

Love, Talia Marin

Symptom Elimination

There's nothing that gives a wellness doctor a "high" like hearing a patient report that they have 50% or more improvement in their symptoms.  This was the case for "Anita", a late-20s, female, long-distance patient.

Take a look at Anita's list of original symptoms:
Arthritis pain
Severe endometriosis - dehabilitating cramping every day
Disrupted sleep
Low energy
Irritable Bowel Syndrome - stomach pains
Runny Nose

Now look at Anita's symptoms, with improvements detailed, 6 months later:
Arthritis Pain - 90% better
Severe endometriosis - cramping every 2 weeks
Disrupted sleep - working on this by treating adrenal gland and changing schedule
Low energy - 50-75% improved
Irritable Bowel Syndrome - 80% improved
Runny Nose - still working on this as it is closely related to adrenal fatigue

So now you ask, how did she do it?

First of all, she is motivated and stuck to the plan that Dr. Wayne outlined for her that included a strict anti-inflammatory diet, Standard Process supplements, frequent urinalyses, and phone consults.  To learn more about what a plan would look like for you, email drwaynedc@gmail.com.

Emilee's Weight Loss Journey

I recently decided to try out the Shape Reclaimed Program after seeing the positive effects it had on the patients at Tompkins Wellness Center. When I first began working at TWC, my health was far from ideal. Due to a knee injury in 2011, I was unable to exercise and my eating habits slowly become less and less healthy. In one year I put on 45 pounds and the effects of the weight started to interfere with my daily routines. My self esteem was decreasing, I had low energy, difficulty sleeping, joint pain, headaches, and I was easily winded. I hit a point where I realized I no longer wanted to live with these symptoms and decided to start Shape Reclaimed. 

Today, January 27, 2012, is my 16^th day on the program and I have lost 17 pounds. Not only have I had great results thus far, but the way in which I achieved the weight loss was healthy and not due to starvation. Because the program is made specific to me and guided by a doctor, we were able to change my diet to adequately meet my body’s needs and ensure healthy weight loss. Along with the decrease in weight, I have ample amounts of energy and I have found a new source of motivation to get through the occasional sugar cravings. 

Although I am thrilled with the program and the results I am seeing, there are some areas that I find challenging. I am a person who has a definite sweet tooth. Eliminating sugar from my diet was difficult, and the first week was incredibly hard. I actually went through a detox period where I had intense cravings that affected my mood and energy level. Now, these cravings have slowly declined, but I still have days where I crave starches and sugars. Also, with rapid weight loss it easy to become accustomed to losing a few pounds every day. Now that I have less to lose, the rate at which I lose weight has slowed and I have learned not to put too much emphasis on what the scale reads every morning. Although my weight in pounds has slowed, I am still burning fat and losing inches. 

As I start my third week on the program, I can already tell my relationship with food has changed forever. I know this may sound like a dramatic statement, but the effects of eating healthy far outweigh the desire to eat unhealthy foods. Overall, I am a much happier and energetic person. I feel great and wonder how I lived before I started the program.

A Note from the Life Coach

Some have heard us say that we see people in 4D.  That means we treat the structural, chemical, electrical AND emotional aspects of your health.  Dr. Wayne firmly believes that the emotional aspect of your being can affect every other dimension.  If you are stressed, it can pull your spine out of alignment.  If you have emotional pain  that has not been dealt with healthily it can block your meridians.  On the other hand, if you have a positive outlook and choose to be well, you will have more energy...and the scenarios continue.

So on that note, let us introduce how a life coach can help you with your overall health picture.  A life coach is like an advocate for your goals.  He/She holds you accountable, maps out a plan, helps you bust through barriers that are keeping you. from success, and can refocus you when you lose your way .  Tompkins Wellness Center has its very own Life Coach - Angela Tompkins was trained at the Coaches Training Institute and had her own coaching practice in Texas.

For old times' sake, we will post one of Angela's articles that was printed in a Dallas-area regional magazine a few years back.  This might be a good read for you around the busy holiday season:

An Unplanned Day

Baseball games, dance lessons, a 50-hour work week, PTA meetings, night classes and helping your daughter sell her girl scout cookies…Does this sound like you?  Are you a victim of SCD (schedule complexity disorder)?  I can help.  Read on…

First of all, SSTTOOOPPPPPP!  Breathe a few deep breaths and take a good look at your life…maybe it is captured on a calendar.  What things on your schedule are absolutely necessary?  Which are extra-curricular?  Who or what is controlling your precious time?  Are they worth it?  Will these consuming activities give you the nuggets of fulfillment and satisfaction that money can’t buy? 

Next, think about the last time you and your loved ones sat around and did absolutely nothing.  How long has it been that you went outside at night and stood in awe of the stars?  When did you sit around and enjoy a home-cooked meal where you actually looked at each other instead of the TV?  (Oh and holiday feasts don’t count!)  What was the last day that your calendar was blank and you did not plan a single thing for that day?  Been awhile?  It’s about time…

Now, it’s time to pick up your planner, your calendar, what have you, and plan an unplanned day.  That’s right…wipe one day out of the month absolutely clean.  Highlight the box that surrounds that day on your monthly calendar as if you’re guarding it with your life…because you are!

Finally, it’s time to beef up your defenses so that that precious day that you’ve reserved stays blank.  Anticipate what forces could threaten the simplicity of an unplanned day?  What is the plan of action if the enemy – duty or responsibility – attacks during a weak moment?  How are you going to keep that day open for the spontaneous possibilities that only an unplanned day can hold? 

I beg you, don’t fall into the planning trap and pollute that day with pre-conceived activities.  The rule is this…on that day, you must only do what you want to do at that moment.  No obligations allowed.  Those can wait until another day…

The Flu Shot: Do Your Research...Please

They are everywhere…at your local grocery store, airport, Wal-mart. We urge you to please STOP, THINK and RESEARCH before you get one just because a) it’s readily available, b) it’s relatively inexpensive, c) Medicare pays for it, so “why not?” All you have to do is type in to Google “Flu Shot” and “Effectiveness” and/or “Side Effects” to start learning for yourself how much this ‘preventive’ measure is really just a shot in the dark.

According to the Center for Disease Control, vaccines only work if it’s a perfect match between the flu strains being passed around in your local area. BUT, vaccines are made for the masses to cover the map and are not customized by locality.

Another prerequisite for flu shot effectiveness is that you must be a healthy individual. Hmmm. How is that defined exactly?


THE OTHER SIDE OF THE STORY 


There is a very well-versed researcher named Mary Tocco with 30 years of vaccine research under her belt who reveals the other side of the story. Meet Mary at (http://newswithviews.com/Tocco/). She breaks down what actually goes into the vaccine that is commonly labeled “safe” even for pregnant women and babies 6 months of age or more. Sigh.

 Flu Mist:
The nasal vaccine has never been studied to see if the viruses can penetrate the membrane between the sinus and the brain (barrier). When the CDC was asked if this had been studied by Dr. Mark Geier, their response was “NO.” Common Flu Vaccine Ingredients include:
• Egg protein – causes egg allergies
• Formaldehyde- Formalyn (formalin) is a 37 percent solution of gaseous formaldehyde which includes methanol. Known toxin used in embalming
• Polysorbate 80 shown to cause infertility in mice • Sodium Chloride and Calcium Chloride
• Monosodium Glutamate (MSG):C5H8NNaO4, a Stabilizer MSG – man made exciito-toxin
• Potassium phosphate- a soluble salt which is used as a fertilizer, a food additive and a fungicide.
• Thimerosal a form of mercury still found in some multi-vile vaccines.
• Polyoxidonium- Synthetic polymers and nanomaterials display selective phenotypic effects in cells and in the body that affect signal transduction mechanisms involved in inflammation, differentiation, proliferation, and apoptosis.
 • Squalene- An oil based adjuvant that has never been approved in the US as safe, can cause blindness, autoimmune dysfunction and can inhibit sperm production. More than two dozen peer-reviewed scientific papers from ten different laboratories throughout the U.S., Europe, Asia, and Australia have been published documenting the development of autoimmune disease in animals subjected to squalene-based adjuvants. Novartis will make a flu vaccine using MF59 consisting of squalene.
• Tween 80 - A recent study (December 2005) discovered that Tween80 can cause anaphylaxis, a sometimes fatal reaction characterized by a sharp drop in blood pressure, hives, and breathing difficulties. • Human Diploid Tissue- organ and tissue from aborted baby tissue is now used in manufacturing many vaccines.

PHARMA’s SAFETY NET
Did you know there is a fee built into every vaccine administered to cover damages for all those who have been injured by getting the vaccine? The Vaccine Injury Compensation Trust Fund provides funding for the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program to compensate vaccine-related injury or death claims for covered vaccines administered on or after October 1, 1988.

Funded by a $0.75 excise tax on vaccines recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for routine administration to children. The excise tax is imposed on each dose (disease that is prevented) of a vaccine. Trivalent influenza vaccine for example, is taxed $0.75 because it prevents one disease; measles-mumps-rubella vaccine, which prevents three diseases, is taxed $2.25. Since the first Vaccine Injury Compensation claims were made in 1989, 2,569 compensation payments have been made, $2,009,309,528.93 disbursed to petitioners and $65,648,518.12 paid to cover attorney’s fees and other legal costs. To date, 5,263 claims have been dismissed. Of those, 2,330 claimants were paid $48,774,854.18 to cover attorney’s fees and other legal costs. (ww.hrsa.gov/vaccinecompensation/index.html)
