Welcome to Dr. Wong's Chiropractic newsletter. We'd like to entertain you, inform you (and even inspire you a little). 
 
   Hello Spring! It’s a time for renewal, rebirth and awakening.
Awaken to a world of natural, safe and effective ways of attaining wellness.
In 1895 Chiropractic was discovered and challenged the world of drugs and surgery. It was a long, lonely battle but now chiropractic is the largest natural, drug-free healthcare system in the world. More and more people are turning away from symptom treatment and choosing natural ways of becoming and staying healthy.
 
Looking for more than a drug approach? Welcome to the world of chiropractic.

Joy lies in the fight, in the attempt, in the suffering involved, not in the victory itself. – Mahatma Gandhi

Chiropractic & migraines
Subluxations are tiny distortions in your body that interfere with the communications between your brain, nerves and body parts. This can create intense stress in your system.
 
Chiropractors correct subluxations so your energies flow more freely, communication returns and your body stress levels drop. No matter what the disease or condition you are healthier and happier when your subluxations are corrected. (1)
 
There are many studies showing the benefits of chiropractic for migraine sufferers. For example, in one study chiropractic care resulted in a reduction of 90% of migraine episodes with the length of each migraine reduced by 38%. In addition, medication use dropped 94% and other symptoms associated with migraine such as nausea, vomiting, photophobia and phonophobia (light and sound sensitivity) were reduced. (2)
 
In another study, a 28-year-old woman with 15 years of severe migraines, irregular menstrual cycles and inability to conceive began chiropractic care. Within two months the migraines completely ceased. A regular menstrual cycle began 7 weeks into care and within 6 months she became pregnant. (3)
 
A ten-year-old girl was unable to go to school due to her six times a week migraines. Three years of medical care afforded no relief. After five chiropractic adjustments she was migraine-free. (4)
 
Anyone suffering from headaches of any type would do well to see their chiropractor to ensure that they are free of subluxations. If there are subluxations, no amount of drugs will correct them—a chiropractic adjustment is essential.

DCs Rated Higher Than MDs In Consumer Reports Survey 
 
A Consumer Reports survey of its readers found that "hands-on" healthcare, led by chiropractic care, were the top-rated for people suffering from low back pain.
 
Fifty-eight percent of those in the survey of 12,000 Consumer Reports readers rated chiropractic/spinal manipulation as helping a lot for those suffering from back pain and that chiropractors are the best at providing real relief followed by massage (48%) and physical therapy (46%). Consumers were more likely to be "highly satisfied" with their care from their chiropractors (59%) than from their MD (34%). The full report can be found at http://www.consumerreports.org/health/medical-conditions-treatments/back-pain/overview/back-pain.htm.
 
More research on the benefits of breastfeeding
 
Breastfed infants tend to have higher intelligence than formula-fed infants. This may be due to certain compounds found in breast milk, including omega-3 fatty acids. The verbal IQ of 7 and 8-year-olds who had been breastfed was about 10 points higher than those who were not. Babies who are breastfed naturally spend more time in what is known as the "quiet alert" state, which is not only soothing for parents but also is the state most conducive to the newborn’s learning. (5)
 


Where are the non-vaccinated people with autism?
 
Where are the non-vaccinated people with autism? Dan Olmsted did the research that the vaccine industry and media refused to do and found little or no autism in the non-vaccinated.
 
"I have not seen autism with the Amish," said Dr. Frank Noonan, a family practitioner in Lancaster County, PA, who has treated thousands of Amish for a quarter-century. "You'll find all the other stuff, but we don't find autism. We're right in the heart of Amish country and seeing none, and that's just the way it is."
 
In Chicago, Homefirst Medical Services treats thousands of never-vaccinated children. Homefirst's medical director, Dr. Mayer Eisenstein, is not aware of any cases of autism in never-vaccinated children; the national rate is 1 in 175, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. "We have a fairly large practice," Eisenstein told us. "We have about 30,000 or 35,000 children that we've taken care of over the years, and I don't think we have a single case of autism in children delivered by us who never received vaccines.” Read the rest at http://www.whale.to/vaccine/olmsted_h.html and
