Dear Friends and Patients

Dear Friends and Patients,

Welcome to Spring! Finally, warm weather, bright sunshine and the opportunity to get out and enjoy beautiful Minnesota! Spring is classically a time of change and renewal, of growth and great expectation of the things to come. Never have truer words been written!

This Spring has brought about change for me and my family as well, a new opportunity for growth. After being at Life Quest for the past 3+ years, I’ve decided it’s time for me to have my own practice. I want you all to know how special my time in Alexandria has been and just how much I appreciate each and every one of you. I have so many great memories of miracle success stories, laughs, and, some tears as well. I will never forget the opportunity I have had to work with you and your families and the trust you gave me with your health.

My new practice will be in Maple Grove, MN on the NW edge of the Twin Cities Area. The name of my practice will be Trillium Chiropractic and I would love to have each of you stop by and visit when you are in the area. And, a shameless plug here, if you have any friends or family members in the area, I would love to be their family chiropractor.

As of June 15th I will be no longer available at Life Quest Chiropractic and because I am presently providing you with chiropractic care, it is important you know the options available in order to receive ongoing chiropractic care. These are your options:

1. Follow me to Maple Grove, Probably not practical, but would be great!
2. Continue care at Life Quest.
3. Continue care at Godfrey Chiropractic in Alexandria. I have spoken with Dr. Justin, He is willing to continue my care with you and will maintain your current schedule. I graduated with Dr. Justin, he practices very similar to me. I have great confidence that he will take great care of you and your family.

In order for your care to continue smoothly, you need to contact me about this decision and where you want to go with your chiropractic care. I will help you through this transition however I can. If you have questions or concerns please set up a time with Alexis so we can talk about these options in person or over the phone.

I would also appreciate it greatly if each of you could write a testimonial or short story about our time together and drop it off at the office, I will be taking these with me to read and reflect upon.

Thank you again for the opportunity to serve you and your families. Hopefully our paths will cross again in the future.

May God Bless All of You Every Day, In Health,

Dr. Jerod L. Ochsendorf

Swine Flu Panic: BULLSHIT!!!

Swine Flu Panic: BULLSHIT!!!

Quickly, don your paper masks! Stay indoors! The dirty Mexican pig influenza is here, to sicken you! Did you know that America had another swine flu panic, in 1976? Let's reminisce, and laugh:

1976. Gerald Ford is leading our nation. Swine flu is detected in the populace. Panic! A history in NYT headlines:

February 20, 1976:" U.S. Calls Flu Alert On Possible Return Of Epidemic's Virus; U.S. FLU ALERT SET ON EPIDEMIC VIRUS"

Sounds familiar!

March 25, 1976: "Ford Urges Flu Campaign To Inoculate Entire U.S.; He Will Ask Congress for $135 Million to Make Vaccine for a New Virus to Avert Fall and Winter Epidemics Ford Urges U.S. Flu Campaign To Inoculate Entire Population"

Bold Action!

April 10, 1976: "$135 Million Voted By Senate to Fund Flu Immunization"

Unquestioning political acquiescence!

May 21, 1976: "Race for a Swine Flu Vaccine Began; In a Manhattan Lab Race to Develop Swine Flu Vaccine Began in a Manhattan Lab"

Feature stories!

June 9, 1976: "Experts in Europe Question U.S. Plan For Mass Flu Shots; Europeans Question U.S. Flu-Shot Plan"

Europe: Always trying to disrupt America's bold actions with "science." Shut up, Europe!

October 13, 1976: "SWINE FLU PROGRAM IS HALTED IN 9 STATES AS 3 DIE AFTER SHOTS; DEATHS OCCUR IN PITTSBURGH But No Evidence is Found That Fatalities Among Elderly Were a Result of Vaccinations States Halt Swine Flu Program as 3 Die After Shots"

The bold action has backfired!

November 24, 1976: "Swine Flu Victim, Back on Job, Asserts Regular Flu Was Worse"

The problem wasn't that bad in the first place!

December 17, 1976: "SWINE FLU PROGRAM SUSPENDED IN NATION; DISEASE LINK FEARED; 94 CASES OF PARALYSIS CITED AND 25 DEATHS, U.S. Aides Act Because of Concern That Shots May Be Connected to Guillain-Barre Syndrome"

In fact the cure was worse than the disease!

February 5, 1977: "Swine Flu Program Brings $10.7 Million in Claims; 104 Suits Already Filed Are Viewed as only the First Wave"

The government must pay for its bold action!

November 16, 1978: "Around the Nation; Over $2.64 Billion in Claims Filed in Swine Flu Program"

And pay some more!

October 17, 1980: "$49 Million in Swine Flu Vaccine To Be Destroyed by Government"

And pay some more! Here we go again...

I saw in the News yesterday that Pres. Obama has already asked congress for something like 1.5 billion in funding for a vaccine...Haven't we learned that the flu vaccine and most vaccines for that matter are something like 12-18% effective. People actually get healthier when we get sick, it is a natural response to strengthen our immune systems. I love how we just keep funding the pharamaceutical companies, especially with money we don't have.

Here's what we have today: something like 70 confirmed cases of this flu, which has killed nobody here. It'll spread for a while, and may kill a few...but in truth people generally die from pneumonia and not the flu. Okay. There are plenty more deadly diseases already here, killing people every day! Wise up America!!! More people will die today from crossing the street. Even in Mexico, the epicenter of the deadly outbreak, and home to a far, far worse health care system than we have, it's only killed 120 people. That's a lot fewer people than have been killed in the Juarez drug war this year.

Stop with the panic, and relax….

Autism

Autism Facts & Statistics

Recently I was asked about my opinion on the Autism debate. My first response to people who ask me about this touchy subject is to be informed about both sides. The medical community is going to give you their opinion, but remember their opinion is not always the right opinion when it comes to your health. Check out a few websites (nvic.org or generationrescue.org) these two sites are very good research sites for parents that don't want to vaccinate or have an intrest in not vaccinating. The best choice is to be informed and make the decision for yourself and your family.

Below are some of the recent facts I have found on Autism.

* 1 in 150 children nation wide, 1 in 81 in Minnesota

* 4:1 ratio of boys to girls

* 1 in 98 boys

* Fastest growing developmental disability

* 100 billion annual costs

* In ten years the annual costs are projected at 200-400 billion.

* Cost of lifelong care can be reduced by 2/3rds with early intervention

* A family with a child with autism will fund 3 to 5 million dollars of services throughout the lifetime of the child.

* More children will be diagnosed with autism this year than cancer, diabetes, Downs Syndrome and AIDS combined.

* Autism receives less than 5% of the research funding of most of the more prevalent childhood disorders.

* Approximately 1 million individuals in the US have autism

Incidence vs. Private Funding (2007)

Condition Incidence Private Funding

Pediatric AIDS 1 in 8,000 394 Million

Leukemia 1 in 25,000 310 Million

Muscular Dystrophy 1 in 20,000 175 Million

Juvenile Diabetes 1 in 500 130 Million

Autism 1 in 150 42 Million

* Studies have shown that environmental toxins like mercury and pesticides cause autism.

* There has been no study that has directly linked a pure genetics basis for autism.

* The fastest growing genetic disorders are approximately 1% per 100 years. Autism is much greater than that.

Golden Opportunity for Chiropractic : Fraud and Scandal Surrounding Central Nerve System Depressants

Golden Opportunity for Chiropractic : Fraud and Scandal Surrounding Central Nerve System Depressants

Tuesday's bombshell that a key researcher involved in the Neurontin and Lyrica research faked the study results and invented patients takes the fraud and deception surrounding these drugs to a whole new level. This comes as new reports continue to surface about alleged fake medical articles Pfizer planted to sell the earlier half of this dynamic duo of central nerve system depressants, Neurontin, for unapproved uses from 1995 to 2002.

But it doesn't seem to be slowing down the marketing machine promoting these new chemicals, which work by shutting down nerve system function. Remember, the pharmaceutical answer to nerve interference is to chemically shut down the messenger network.

Pfizer gave nonprofits $2.1 million in grants in 2008 for medical courses about the pain-and-fatigue ailment fibromyalgia for which its Neurontin follow-up pill, Lyrica, just happens to be approved.

Lyrica (pregablin), affectionately called Son of Neurontin at Pfizer, was discovered by Northwestern University chemist Richard Silverman in 1989, earning the university a cool $700 million when it sold royalties in late 2007.

Pfizer is funding the $100 million Richard and Barbara Silverman Hall for Molecular Therapeutics & Diagnostics, under construction now, which will employ 245 faculty, staff and research assistants.

Like Neurontin (gabapentin), Lyrica (Pregablin) is an anti-epilepsy drug (AED) that modulates calcium channels to dampen the excitability of nerve endings. And, like Neurontin which made $3 billion a year from unapproved uses like pain, bipolar disorder, attention deficit disorder and restless legs syndrome, Pfizer has high hopes for Lyrica's "crossover appeal."

Lyrica was approved in 2006 for partial onset seizures and nerve pain associated with diabetes and shingles. But the FDA’s approval of Lyrica as the first drug for fibromyalgia in 2007 is what kicked sales up 37 percent in the third quarter to $465 million.

Fibromyalgia, with no clear cause, blood test, definition or cure "is almost a textbook definition of an unmet medical need," enthused Pfizer VP Ian Read in a conference call to analysts when the drug first launched.

Datamonitor predicts the fibromyalgia market can be "grown" from $400 million to $2 billion thanks to all the people who do not know they have it yet.

And even before the name Lyrica appeared, Pfizer's initial "unbranded" campaign of public service announcements (PSAs) in conjunction with the National Fibromyalgia Association that featured people describing their symptoms and hawking the web site www.fibrohope.org laid the groundwork for massive sales of Lyrica, once FDA approved.

(Think Merck's "unbranded" HPV awareness campaign that preceded the vaccine Gardasil’s FDA approval)

Despite a temporary Lyrica scare in 2001 when Pfizer had to freeze patient trials because mice developed cancerous tumors–luckily for Pfizer, rats did not-Lyrica was well received by the "medical community".

Except the "medical community" was made up of Pfizer paid mouthpieces.

"Well tolerated," said Pfizer paid doctors in Arthritis and Rheumatism in 2005.

"Proven efficacy" and "No new adverse events," said Pfizer paid doctors in Drugs of Today in 2005 and 2007.

And, "Durability of effect for relieving FM pain," said Pfizer paid doctors in the journal Pain in 2008.

Actual Lyrica users were less overenthusiastic, reporting memory loss, mental confusion, extreme weight gain, hair loss, impaired driving, disorientation, twitching and even two deaths reported on the website askapatient.com. The FDA added suicide warnings to Lyrica and all AEDs in 2008.

Pfizer and other drug manufactures will be ratcheting up the "patient education" and awareness campaigns for fibromyalgia. But in doing so, they have been forced to admit that a primary causal factor in these symptoms is nerve interference. Otherwise, there would be no justification for prescribing nerve system depressants as a treatment for said symptoms.

As a chiropractor, it is my duty to inform the public that there is an alternative to treating nerve interference with a drug that causes all of the above side effects including an increased likelihood of suicide.

As a chiropractor, I know that chemically suppressing nerve system function cannot possibly be wise. The drug does not selectively shut down only nerves transmitting pain signals. It depresses all nerve function to all tissue cells: brain, heart, lungs, kidneys, etc. These chemicals have the exact opposite objective as the chiropractic adjustment. Just imagine what the long term effects of these drugs will be. They effectively create a chemical subluxation of the entire nerve system.

The fact that the drug was possibly approved based on faked research and promoted via fake articles in medical journals presents a unique opportunity for the chiropractic community. We must take full advantage of the awareness campaigns for the "unmet medical need" Pfizer VP Ian Read is so excited about. But instead of a suicide inducing chemical, we offer life enhancing subluxation correction with the only side effect: clinically proven increased quality of life.

Headaches and Chiropractic

Headaches and Chiropractic

If you have a headache, you’re not alone. Nine out of ten Americans suffer from headaches. Some are occasional,,some frequent, some are dull and throbbing,
and some cause debilitating pain and nausea. What do you do when you suffer from a poundingmheadache? Do you grit your teeth and carry on? Lie down? Pop a pill and hope the pain goes away? There is a better alternative.

New research shows that spinal manipulation – the primary form of care provided by doctors of chiropractic – may be an effective treatment option for tension
headaches and headaches that originate in the neck. A report released in 2001 by researchers at the Duke University Evidence-Based Practice Center in Durham,
NC, found that spinal manipulation resulted in almost immediate improvement for those headaches that originate in the neck, and had significantly fewer side effects and longer-lasting relief of tension-type headache than a commonly prescribed medication. Also, a 1995 study in the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics found that spinal manipulative therapy is an effective treatment for tension headaches and that those who ceased chiropractic treatment after four weeks experienced a sustained therapeutic benefit in contrast with those patients who received a commonly prescribed medication.

Headache Triggers

Headaches have many causes, or "triggers." These may include foods, environmental stimuli (noises, lights, stress, etc.) and/or behaviors (insomnia, excessive exercise, blood sugar changes, etc.). About 5 percent of all headaches are warning signals caused by physical problems. Ninety-five percent of headaches are primary headaches, such as tension, migraine, or cluster headaches. These types of headaches are not caused by disease. The headache itself is the primary concern.
"The greatest majority of primary headaches are associated with muscle tension in the neck," "Today, Americans engage in more sedentary activities than they used to, and more hours are spent in one fixed position or posture. This can
increase joint irritation and muscle tension in the neck, upper back and scalp, causing your head to ache." What Can You Do? We suggest the following:

If you spend a large amount of time in one fixed position, such as in front of a computer, on a sewing machine, typing or reading, take a break and stretch every 30 minutes to one hour. The stretches should take your head and
neck through a comfortable range of motion.
• Low-impact exercise may help relieve the pain associated with primary headaches. However, if you are prone to dull, throbbing headaches,
avoid heavy exercise. Engage in such activities as walking and low-impact aerobics.
• Avoid teeth clenching. The upper teeth should never touch the lowers, except when swallowing. This results in stress at the temporomandibular joints (TMJ) – the two joints that connect your jaw to your skull – leading to TMJ irritation and a form of tension headaches.
• Drink at least eight 8-ounce glasses of water a day to help avoid dehydration, which can lead to headaches.

What Can a Doctor of Chiropractic Do?

We may do one or more of the following if you suffer from a primary headache:

• Perform spinal manipulation or chiropractic adjustments to improve spinal function and alleviate the stress on your system.
• Provide nutritional advice, recommending a change in diet and perhaps the addition of B complex vitamins.
• Offer advice on posture, ergonomics (work postures), exercises and relaxation techniques. This advice should help to relieve the recurring joint irritation and tension in the muscles of the neck and upper back.

"Doctors of chiropractic undergo extensive training to help their patients in many ways – not just back pain," "We know how tension in the spine relates to problems in other parts of the body, and we can take steps to relieve those problems."

A Must Read for all Parents...Can Visiting a Chiropractor Benefit Small Children?

A Must Read for all Parents...Can Visiting a Chiropractor Benefit Small Children?

Chiropractic Care for Babies

When Christine Anthony's chiropractor clinic learned that she had a daughter, they wanted her to bring her in to be checked. Anthony, an Evanston, Ill., resident, wanted to believe that the clinic was good intentioned and not just trying to get business since they seemed on the level. She resisted a while, but eventually gave in.

Her daughter's X-rays came back showing a slight curve in her spine – Anthony could actually see it. The clinic's recommendation was that her daughter get adjustments once a week. "I don't know how realistic and beneficial chiropractic care is for babies, toddlers and kids," Anthony says. "Is it better to wait until they are full grown or is there really good evidence out there that early chiropractic care can really help kids be healthier?"

The Stats
Based on an American Chiropractic Association Report, there were an estimated 20 million pediatric visits in the 1980s. In 1998, there were an estimated 30 million pediatric visits annually. Last year, utilizing these estimates and based on a study by the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (ICPA), Dr. Joel Alcantara, ICPA research director, estimated approximately 68 million pediatric visits annually. Since this was derived from a study done by ICPA members, there is some bias, admits Jeanne Ohm, ICPA executive coordinator, because they know their members see a greater amount of children annually than the average chiropractor.

Still, these results clearly show that it is common for children to receive chiropractic care. Furthermore, this care is safe. The ICPA presented preliminary results of their Practiced Based Research Network, listing three improvements with care noted by both doctors and parents involved in the survey:

Improved sleep
Attitudes and behavior
Immune system function

Starting Early
"Starting care at the beginning of pregnancy is the best way to assure an optimal growth environment with optimal neurological supply and nutritional exchange," says Dr. Gregg Stern, a national board certified diplomate at Chiropractic Pediatric Maternity & Family Wellness Care in Buffalo Grove, Ill. In other words, there's no such thing as being too young.

Dr. Stern says an immediate nervous system exam after birth or within the first few days is optimal, as labor and delivery can be traumatic, even more so when interventions are used and even more with a Cesarean section. He has a schedule of periodic checkups that correlate with the child's development and changes in the spinal development:

Stage I: Within 48 hours of the birth process
Stage II: 2-month exam – child is lifting head up
Stage III: 6-month exam – child is sitting on his/her own
Stage IV: 8-month exam – child is crawling
Stage V: 11-month exam – child is starting to walk

The Benefits
The nerve system is the master control system of the body, says Dr. Stern, and a well-functioning one combined with good lifestyle habits can handle stressors. But for most people their nerve system becomes overwhelmed, causing subluxation, dysfunction in the spinal joints causing pressure onto the nerves and interfering with proper information flow along the nerves.

"Kids not only have their own stressors, but they also experience the stressors in the home and the poor lifestyle habits of the parents," Dr. Stern says. "When a child starts getting adjusted, their nerve system gets cleared of the interference and starts to function properly again, passing the appropriate messages for proper immune responses, healing, growth and development, mental acuity, physical performance..."

"I can tell you, in my expert opinion, that every single child that has entered my office with asthma, ear infections, eczema, digestive problems, bed wetting, sleep problems, among many others, has seen a tremendous response to chiropractic care," says Dr. Marc Gottlieb, a chiropractor in San Diego, Calif. "It is simple neurology."

Addressing the issue of ear infections, every child that Dr. Gottlieb has checked with ear infections has had Vertebral Subluxation Complex in the upper part of their neck – this is when one or more vertebrae shift out of their normal position due to physical, chemical or emotional stress and pressure is created on the corresponding nerve root. Depending on where the nerve is in their spinal column, it creates a disturbance to the central nervous system and the corresponding cells, tissues and organs that nerve innervates. By adjusting the upper cervical spine in children, it allows proper flow of the lymph system and muscles relax, allowing the fluid to drain normally, stopping the infections.

"Another huge benefit to receiving care early in life is that their spinal condition has not been there as long as an adult, thus allowing children to respond much faster to care," Dr. Gottlieb says.

In the case of Anthony's daughter, it would make sense to fix the curve early on, because like a tree growing crookedly, "It is much easier to 'retrain' its growth as a sapling rather than waiting until it becomes larger and more firmly set in its deviation" says Dr. Jeanne Ohm, a chiropractor in Philadelphia, Pa.

Shellie Ver Meer of Laguna Hills, Calif., used chiropractic care early on in her sons' lives. If either of her sons had a fever, she would take them right to the chiropractor. "I could absolutely time it," she says. "Within 20 minutes of their adjustment, usually the time it took to drive home, their fever would be gone. After we got back home, I retook their temperature, and it was gone. They got over their colds and flu in at least half the time as normal, and ridding them of their fever was the beginning to healthier boys."

The Risks
Minor aches and pains can be experienced at first when lactic acid is released and as the old dysfunctional body patterns start to change into more functional patterns, Dr. Stern says.

"The amount of force used to adjust an infant and child is nothing compared to that used on an adult," Dr. Ohm says. "For infants, picture the amount of pressure it would take to touch a ripe tomato before it would go through the skin of the tomato. Very often, infants will peacefully sleep through their adjustments."

Dr. Gerry Clum, president of Life Chiropractic College West in Hayward, Calif., and spokesperson for the Foundation for Chiropractic Progress, says his favorite method of adjusting a child is to have Mom lie on an adjusting table on her back and place her baby or small child on her chest. The child is happy and comfortable, and Mom has a direct sense and awareness of the amount of force that is being applied to the child's spine. "It [is] a win-win-win situation!" he says.

Dan Thompson has had his 9 1/2-month-old son adjusted since birth – not because he had subluxations or curvature in his neck or spine – but rather as an agent for healthy growth and development. At this point, the Bradford, N.H., resident is planning to continue Caleb's chiropractic care throughout his childhood, though it will eventually be his decision on whether or not to continue. "Chiropractic care seems to be a widely misunderstood practice," Thompson says. "It's a matter of putting the pieces together (no pun intended)."

Americans are Too Dumb to Manage Their Health???

New Study: Americans are Too Dumb to Manage Their Health

According to a survey by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), a division of the US Department of Health and Human Services, just 12 percent of the nation’s 228 million adults have the skills to manage their own health care proficiently. Nearly 22 percent of those surveyed had just a basic understanding of medical treatments and 14 percent could only accomplish the most rudimentary tasks, such as understanding a short set of treatment instructions.

This should come as no surprise if what we call “health care” is a complex web of powerful chemicals, elaborate tests and billions of dollars in marketing and public relations with the overarching purpose of convincing every American that they suffer from a multitude of “conditions” that require these very expensive chemicals and tests.

However, the chiropractic model of health care is far easier to grasp. Any literate adult should be able to understand that the central nervous system regulates all cellular function in the the body. The brain is protected by the skull. The brain stem, spinal cord and nerve roots are protected my the bones of the spine. Care and maintenance of this vital system, through chiropractic care, is a firm foundation on which one can lay all five of the basic tenets of achieving and maintaining health:

      1. Consume a diet of nutrient rich, unprocessed foods and clean, pure water.
      2. Minimize emotional, physical and chemical stress on the body.
      3. Exercise regularly.
      4. Get adequate, restful sleep.
      5. Pro-actively maintain the structural integrity of the central nerve system.

Unfortunately, one of the greatest hindrances to achieving health is the current medical model. The pharmaceutical/medical industry is second only to the food industry in terms of destruction of the health of individuals.

Many seem to have forgotten that the human body is capable of healing itself of any “disease” known to man. The body is a community of 70 trillion cells, working in harmony to sustain life. When we remove the impediments (poor nutrition, poor nerve supply, lack of exercise, inadequate sleep, physical, chemical and emotional stresses), the body moves away from disease and toward health. This is the ” wellness” model that everyone is talking about, yet no one has yet adequately defined in the mind of the health care consumer.

Chiropractic care offers the firm foundation on which to build a true wellness model of health care. Chiropractors have been outspoken opponents of the overuse of drugs and critical of the medical model for 113 years. The foundational concept of the current medical model, that a medical doctor can ask someone to describe their symptoms and then select a chemical from the thousands available to “treat” those symptoms, is misguided.

This fundamental flaw in the medical paradigm is at the very core of much of the teachings on which chiropractic was founded. The fact that this flawed model is beyond the comprehension of most individuals is not surprising and should be considered a blessing.

The intelligence in the human body that transforms 2 cells into a perfectly formed human in 280 days is far superior to anything yet created by man. The human body needs nothing more than what is described above to produce perfect new cells to replace those cells that the body naturally purges every second of every day. The same power that made the body can heal the body of any challenge that presents itself, as long as the interference from outside (that which is not under the body’s control) is not greater than the body’s natural inclination toward health and survival, bolstered and supported by following the five tenets referenced above.

This is something that anyone can understand. They just need to hear it. Over and over and over again.
