US Researchers Find New Clue to Infant Deaths

By Reuters - Tue Feb 2, 3:07 PM PST

CHICAGO (Reuters) - Babies who die from sudden infant death syndrome make low amounts of the message-carrying brain chemical serotonin needed to regulate sleep, breathing and heart rate, U.S. researchers said on Tuesday.

The finding, published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, may help identify babies at risk for SIDS, which each year kills more than 2,300 babies before their first birthday.

They said abnormal levels of serotonin may hamper an infant's breathing, especially in challenging situations, such as breathing in too much exhaled carbon dioxide while sleeping face down.

"We have known for many years that placing infants to sleep on their backs is the single most effective way to reduce the risk of SIDS," Dr. Alan Guttmacher, director of the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, which funded the study.

"The current findings provide important clues to the biological basis of SIDS and may ultimately lead to ways to identify infants most at risk as well as additional strategies for reducing the risk of SIDS for all infants," Guttmacher said in a statement.

In the study, Dr. Hannah Kinney of Harvard Medical School and Children's Hospital Boston and colleagues examined brain tissue from babies who died from SIDS and from other causes.

The tissue came from the medulla, a region at the base of the brain that regulates basic functions such as body temperature, breathing, blood pressure and heart rate.

Kinney's team found that serotonin levels were 26 percent lower in tissue from babies who died of SIDS than those who died from other causes, and they also found low levels of the enzyme tryptophan hydroxylase, which is needed to make serotonin.

VULNERABLE BABIES

The findings suggest that some babies have an underlying vulnerability to SIDS, which can become fatal when combined with an external stress such as sleeping face down, especially when it occurs within the first year of life.

"Our research suggests that sleep unmasks the brain defect," Kinney said in a statement.

"When the infant is breathing in the face-down position, he or she may not get enough oxygen. An infant with a normal brain stem would turn his or her head and wake up in response. But a baby with an intrinsic abnormality is unable to respond to the stressor."

The team hopes the study will lead to a test that measures a baby's serotonin levels, making it possible to identify children at highest risk for SIDS

Rates of sudden infant death syndrome, also known as cot death or crib death, have plummeted in countries where health workers have counseled parents and caregivers to put infants on their backs to sleep, to avoid keeping rooms too warm and to keep loose blankets and pillows away from infants.

DR ARVAY COMMENTS:

This just shows why EVERY BABY MUST HAVE THEIR SPINES CHECK FOR BIRTH INDUCED SUBLUXATION! Today's modern birth protocols do not take into consideration the newborn spine.  Dr. Gutman MD showed that 80% of all children under the age of 1 have subluxation of the first cervical bone (C1) in the neck. When this bone gets twisted on during the birth process and then is left uncorrected, as the baby sleeps on it's side with the neck turned even farther for 4 to 8 hours at a time. This twisting of the C1 bone chokes off the nerve supply to the breathing system. This choking shuts down the brains messages to the breathing system and induces possibility of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. This is why EVERY NEW BORN MUST BE CHECK FOR BRITH INDUCED SUBLUXATION OF THE C1 BONE. We have special computers that can check for this kind of trauma. Who do you know that has had a baby in the last 24 months? Give them this article and bring them in to get the baby C1 spinal bone checked. Its simple, easy and FREE as our community service to helping put an end to SIDS!

Today’s Chiropractic care help WHAT???

Often you hear complaints from “authorities” that chiropractic doesn’t have any valid documentation. Nothing could be further from the truth. Here are many examples.

 

Blood Pressure

Yates RG, Lamping, DL, Abram NL, Wright C: Effects of chiropractic treatment on blood pressure and anxiety: a randomized, controlled trial. JMPT 1988; 11(6):484, 21 hypertensive patients. T1-T5 adjustments. Systolic and diastolic blood pressure decreased significantly in the adjusted group, but not in the placebo and control groups.

 

Vision Problems

Terrett AGJ, Gorman RF: the eye, the cervical spine, and spinal manipulative therapy: a review of the literature. Chiropractic Technique 1995; 7(2):43. Gilman G, Bergstrand J: Visual recovery following chiropractic intervention. Journal of Behavioral Optometry 1990: 1(3):3. Gorman RF: The treatment of presumptive optic nerve ischemia by spinal manipulation. JMPT 1995; 18(3): 172. Gorman RF: Monocular vision loss after closed head trauma: immediate resolution associated with spinal manipulation. JMPT 1995; 18(5):308.

 

Ulcers

Pikalov AA, Kharin VV: Use of spinal manipulative therapy in the treatment of duodenal ulcer: a pilot study. JMPT 1994: 17(5):310. 11 ulcer patients received chiropractic care. They were compared to 24 cases treated medically. The chiropractic group experienced remission demonstrated endoscopically, and pain relief an average of 10days earlier than traditional care.

Infantile Colic

Klougart N, Nilsson N, Jacobsen J: Infantile colic treated by

chiropractors: a prospective study of 316 cases. JMPT 1989;

12(4):281. A satisfactory result occurred within two weeks in 94%if cases receiving chiropractic care.

 

HIV

Selano JL, Hightower BC, Pfleger B et al: The effects of specific upper cervical adjustments on the CD4 counts of HIV positive patients. Chiropractic Research Journal 1994; 3(1):32. Over the six month period of the study, the control group experienced a 7.96% decrease in CD4 counts, while the adjusted group experienced a 48% increase in CD4 cell counts over the same period.

 

Nerve Root Compression

Sharpless, SK: Susceptibility of Spinal Roots to Compression Block. NINCDS Monograph 15, DHEW publication (NIH) 76-998, 1975, pages 155-161. A pressure of only 10 mm Hg produced a significant compression block, the potential falling to 60% of its initial value in 15 minutes, and to half its initial value in 30 minutes. After such a small compressive force is removed, nearly complete recovery occurs in 15 to 30 minutes. With higher levels of pressure, we have observed incomplete recovery after many hours of recording. Konno S, Olmarker K, Byrod G et al: Intermittent cauda equine compression. Spine 1995; 20(1):1223.

Compression of the nerve roots of the cauda equina with as little as 10 mm Hg resulted in decreased action potentials.

Rydevik BL: The Effects of Compression on the Physiology of Nerve Roots. JMPT January 1992; 15(1), pages 62-66.

Venous blood flow to spinal roots was blocked with 5-10 mm Hg of pressure. The resultant retrograde venous stasis due to venous congestion is suggested as a significant cause of nerve root compression. Impairment of nutrient flow to spinal nerves is present with similar low pressure.

 

Dysmenorrhea

Kokjohn K, Schmid DM, Triano JJ, Brennan PC: The effect of spinal manipulation on pain and prostoglandin levels in women with primary dysmenorrhea. JMPT 1992; 15(5):279. 45 Subjects. Experimental and “sham” control group.

Conclusion: SMT may be an effective and safe

nonpharmacological alternative for relieving the pain and distress of primary dysmenorrhea.

 

Pain

Hause M: Pain and the nerve root. Spine 1993: 18(14): 2053. Nerve root compression can exist without pain. Mechanical changes lead to circulatory changes. Inflammatogenic agents may cause chemical radiculitis. There may be disturbed CSF flow. The influence of the sympathetic system may result in synaptic sensitization of the CNS and peripheral nerves, creating a “vicious cycle.”

Wall EJ, Massie JB, Kwan MK, Rydevik BL, Myers RR, Garfin SR: Experimental stretch neuropathy. Changes in nerve conduction tension. J Bone Joint Surg Br January 1992; 74(1), pages 126-129. At 6% strain, the amplitude of the action potential had decreased by 70% at one hour and returned to normal during the recovery period. At 12% strain, conduction was completely blocked by one hour, and showed minimal recovery.

HOW "THE HOLIDAYS" CAN KNOCK 25 YEARS OFF YOUR LIFE

   Once a large truck was driving through one of the busiest tunnels in New York City.  The truck was so large, in fact, that it got stuck in the tunnel and could not back up or move forward.  Traffic eventually got backed up for miles and miles.  Dozens of traffic, accident, bridge, road, and truck experts were on the scene for hours trying to figure out what to do.  Just as the situation and the frustration of the experts was beginning to get out of hand, a 10 year old little girl poked her head out of the window and said, "Why don't you just let the air out of the tires."  The dilemma was resolved. 

    THEME:  When life and the world aren't working out, re-assess everything!

 

     Even though Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years make up a total of 3 days, most people just call November and December "The Holidays."  And since it's "The Holidays," you can be irresponsible and careless.  You eat can mass quantities, put all sorts of horrible "Holiday" items into your body, exercise less or not at all, miss adjustments, spend too much, and put important things off because after all, it's "The Holidays."  In total, you end up with a 6-10 week reign of terror on your life and body.

     If you add to these two months all of the other times you tend to abuse your health like; parties, anniversaries, other "holidays," birthdays, weddings, weekends, secretaries day, etc., etc. you are basically being irresponsible for your health and many other areas of your life conservatively 3 months out of every year.  (25% of every year)

     By the time you are 40 years old, you will have spent 10 years doing serious, possibly irreparable damage to your body and possibly your whole life.  This is another reason why people are supposed to live to 100, but only make 75. (25% off)

    "The Holidays," are a time designated to celebrate the many joys of life and appreciate God's blessings.  However, they have become a time dedicated to shortening life and falling short of your God-given potential.  Clearly, it is time to look at "The Holidays" from a new perspective.

     Of the tens of thousands of sick and suffering people I have met, examined, and consulted, not once have I heard one of them say, "I wish I had done less for my health all of these years." 

     What they do say, in every case, is "I wish I had met you ____ years ago."

     WELL, you have met me, please take advantage of it.

 

   There is a famous Italian saying:  Sono divencete veccio Troppo presto, ma Furbo troppo tardi'        that means, "I got old too soon and smart too late."

 

Enjoy the Holidays (3, max 5 days).  Keep your family alive in the process

DUE TO THE EXTREME MENTAL, PHYSICAL, AND CHEMICAL STRESS BROUGHT ON BY "THE HOLIDAYS," PLEASE ADD, DON'T SUBTRACT FROM YOUR CURRENT ADJUSTMENT AND HOME SPINAL REHAB SCHEDULE.

 

Happy Holiday to you and yours From the Team ALC.

Warning - Swine Flu H1N1 Vaccine Is Not Safe

Check out the food matters post: HERE 

As in continue to search the web and research the both sides of this dialog. I keep being drawn to these articles that make you question, "Who is in charge of making YOUR health care choices." The answer always comes back..... YOU ARE>>>>>>  Dr. Troy Dreilin

following article By Dr Joseph Mercola, MD

This year it is more important that you protect your children and loved ones from the flu vaccines than influenza itself. In his article published on LewRockwell.com, Bill Sardi details 18 reasons why you should not vaccinate your children against the flu this season. Here are nine of them:

• The swine flu is simply another flu. It is not unusually deadly.
• This is the first time both seasonal and pandemic flu vaccines will be administered. Both seasonal flu and swine flu vaccines will require two inoculations. This is because single inoculations have failed to produce sufficient antibodies. This is an admission that prior flu vaccines were virtually useless. Can you trust them this time?
• Adjuvants are added to vaccines to boost production of antibodies but may trigger autoimmune reactions. Some adjuvants are mercury (thimerosal), aluminum and squalene. Why would you sign a consent form for your children to be injected with mercury, which is even more brain-toxic than lead?
• This is the first year mock vaccines have been used to gain FDA approval. The vaccines that have been tested are not the same vaccines your children will be given.
• Over-vaccination is a common practice now in America. American children are subjected to 29 vaccines by the age of two. Meanwhile, veterinarians have backed off of repeat vaccination in dogs because of observed side effects.
• Modern medicine has no explanation for autism, despite its continued rise in prevalence. Yet autism is not reported among Amish children who go unvaccinated.
• Researchers are warning that over-use of the flu vaccine and anti-flu drugs like Tamiflu and Relenza can apply genetic pressure on flu viruses and then they are more likely to mutate into a more deadly strain.
• Most seasonal influenza A (H1N1) virus strains tested from the United States and other countries are now resistant to Tamiflu (oseltamivir). Tamiflu has become a nearly worthless drug against seasonal flu.
• Public health officials are irresponsible in their omission of any ways to strengthen immunity against the flu. No options outside of problematic vaccines and anti-flu drugs are offered, despite the fact there is strong evidence that vitamins C and D activate the immune system and the trace mineral selenium prevents the worst form of the disease.

The challenge will be staying engaged for a lifetime. The foundation you create will determine your outcome. Here is another testimonial that just came in.

 

 

“Dr Troy,

            In my reading to lose weight I have come across some information you could use in your talks.  The three most deadly ingredients you should avoid are mineral oil, propylene glycol, and sodium laureth sulfate (sls – many health food stores now have products that say no sls).   Every shaving cream, shampoo, soap, and lotions have these ingredients in them and it’s very hard to find products without one or more of these ingredients. Foods that you eat even have these three ingredients.

 

I have lost 130 lbs with diet, exercise, and back to God’s food and natural products (none of the three ingredients above).  I use filters on my shower and drinking water.  No Aspartame, artificial sweeteners, no soda, milk, (I was a big milk drinker), or bread.  I walk fast 1 hour to 1 ½ hours per day and have started doing some weights to strengthen my back, chest, and leg muscles.  On September 26, 2008 I weighed 362 according to Kaiser Permanente and today September 25, 2009 I weighted 226.  I started my weight loss Dec 10, 2008 and I hope to lose another 30 lbs.  I lost 14” on my waist, wear 38 pants from size 52 waist, and now can fit into large size shirts. I feel a ton better!

 

Your talks planted the seed and when I finally quit eating lots of food, exercising, and watching what I put in my body I started the weight loss process.  Thanks for the great start.

 

Congratulations on your daughter and family!  It really changes your life doesn’t it?  I hope all is well with you and your family and practice!

 

God Bless!

 

-terry”

Hey Ladies!!

 

Remember this Friday October 9th is our next mom's group.  The weather man says it's going to be nice on Friday.  I'm planning on having our last outdoor meeting.  We will do same spot near the playground at Ester Short Park.  I am changing the time to 11:00am.  Remember to bring a blanket. 

 

Our website guy is in the process of posting the pictures from our cooking class. They turned out great :)  The cooking class was a great success.  I had A LOT of good feedback.  We had a great turnout, learned an abundant amount of information, and had a blast. 

 

As far as the next mom's group..... I've had a number of mom's suggest combining the group meeting with a play date.  We could have a meeting for the first 20 minutes and then play the remaining time.  I have numerous healthy topics to discuss.  I was thinking of choosing the dates for the next six months and if moms would like to volunteer their home for a mom’s group/play date that would be great.  We also are in the works for planning other exciting events like a clothing exchange party, mom's night out, another cooking class and much, much more. 

 

The next mom's group/play dates are:

 

November- Wednesday the 4th @ 3:00pm

See you there.

This last week has been amazing for me and my family. We got to spend a lot of time together and just hang out as a family. What a blessing, I could not help but think how thankful I am for the abundant life we have been given. Every day I wake up and wonder how I can share these blessings with our friends, patients and community.

 

The focus of our office this last month has been to get every practice member to the Makeover this weekend, Saturday, October 17^th. Right now, we have over 250 people confirmed for this amazing event.

 

I am so excited to share the stage with 3 time world champion and 2008 Olympic Wrestling coach Lee Kemp. What an honor to represent our country and for me to be able to share that stage with him.

 

Leigh Jaynes will be there and focus on how to inspire women to be the best at what they do. She truly has an amazing story. You will learn how applying the Maximized Living Principals has changed her life.

 

Dr. TJ Osborne from San Jose, California will be speaking on creating the Life of Your Dreams.

 

My self and out team are so excited to share this once in a life time chance to get you and your loved ones focused on you health and longevity. Do what ever you can to be there. Rumor has it that I write a “Mean Doctors Note” if you need to be excused from the Epic event. We will get you a note.

 

Here is another amazing Testimony:

 

“In July of 2004 I was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes.  Like many people who have just been given news of this kind from their doctor, I asked, “What can I do to get rid of the Diabetes?”  I was told that we would be starting with two prescriptions.  One was for the diabetes and the other was a high blood pressure medication.  I quickly reminded my doctor that I did not have high blood pressure.  She then told me that the medication was actually to help protect my kidneys from the diabetes medication.  When I asked how long I would need this medication, she stated, “For the rest of your life.”

 

As time progressed I made several dietary changes, but just began to accept that this was going to be with me forever. 

 

In August of 2007, while attending the Clark County Fair, my wife and I happened across the Absolute Life Chiropractic booth and my wife had a free nerve scan done.  Although I was not interested in doing one myself, my wife and the young lady at the booth convinced me to do so.  The results were very eye opening.  I agreed to an office visit and x-rays. 

 

What has happened in the past year is nothing short of a miracle to me.  Not only has my spine curve improved by at least 50%, but my nerve scan has improved by even more.  But the GREATEST impact on my life has come from the Maximized Living approach Dr. Troy teaches.  I plugged into the talks on Saturdays and have attended the Extreme Makeover twice.  The information learned has changed my life forever.  In March I attended the very first Run/Walk Club, and I am happy to still be a regular member of the Club today.

 

Before Run/Walk Club I had been sedentary for over 15 years.  Today I walk many miles per week.  In July of 2008 I participated in the Lacamas Lake 4 mile event, and I am currently preparing for the Portland Marathon on October 5, 2008.  Even more exciting is that I have lost over 20 lbs, and my diabetes medication has been cut in half.  I am able to see the day when very soon I will be off all medications and DIABETES FREE!

 

I owe a great debt to Dr. Troy Dreiling and the Maximized Living way of life because it’s given me my life back!   Jordan “

WOULD YOU LIKE YOUR CHILDREN TO BE SUPERIOR?

Chiropractic VS. Allopathic care for kids
Title: A Comparative study of the Health Status of Children Raised Under the Health Care Models of Chiropractic and Allopathic Medicine
Citation: Journal of Chiropractic Research---Research Forum Summer 1989; Vol. 5, No. 4, pp.101-103
Authors: Wendy M. van Breda D.C., and Juan M. van Breda, D. C.
Synopsis: By Dan Murphy, D.C.

1. There is a definite correlation between chiropractic care and superior health."
2. 94% of medical children are vaccinated while only 25% of chiropractic children are vaccinated (from abstract).
3. 69% of the chiropractic children have never had otitis media (middle ear infection), while only 20% of the medical children never had otitis media.
4. Chiropractors contend that chiropractic care improves quality of life, stimulates the immune system, and confers superior health.
5. Allopathic healthcare is primarily disease treatment. Chiropractic healthcare is primarily preventative.
6. 91% of the chiropractic children started chiropractic care by age 1
7. “95% of the chiropractors considered that chiropractic has a positive effect on their children's health."
8. "This study has shown that children raised under chiropractic care are less prone to infections processes such as the otitis media and tonsillitis, and that their immune systems are better able to cope with allergens such as pollen, weeds, grasses, etc., as compared to children raised under allopathic care.”
9. This is a significant decreased history of antibiotic use among the chiropractic children, "indicating a lowered susceptibility to bacterial infections as a result of greater immune system response."
10. The chiropractors responded that the "recovery period from any trauma or illness by their children was more rapid than that of their children's peers.”
11. Non-immunized chiropractic children who came down with those childhood diseases seem to have minor diseases that were not incapacitating. "The hypothesis that chiropractic care maintains the immune system is supported by the observation that even though the children did have the disease, their lifestyles were not affected and recovery periods were short."
12. Comments from medical pediatricians indicate that a number of them believe that, essentially, all children suffer from otitis media and that all children have at least one course of prescribed antibiotics. "These are fallacies propagated within allopathic medicine, as demonstrated by this study."
13. "This study has shown that there is validity in the premise that chiropractic has a positive effect on the health status of individuals."
14. The results of the study confirmed the benefits of the chiropractic model of health care on the health status of children.

Cooking

Preparation of food  on a daily basis can be challenging.  At our house, we try to have a variety of fruits, vegetables, whole grains and  protein in our diet.  And because we are raising children, it is important that we stay as healthy as possible; after all, energy is the "key" to keeping up with our vigorous  children.  When I am not eating well, I notice my energy levels dwindle. 

Lately, I have been using "Google" to find new recipes.  It is a great source of information and it has more recipes than you can ever use in a lifetime.   My daughter is enjoying all the fresh fruits and vegetables that the summer months offer and incorporating the fresh summer bounty into recipes is appreciated by my entire family.  One way to keep the food costs down is go to "pick your own" on some of the rural farms in Washington and Oregon.  Sauvie's Island is an excellent area for that.  

Resolution of Chronic Otitis Media, Neck Pain, Headaches & Sinus Infection in a Child Following an Increase in Cervical Curvature & Reduction of Vertebral Subluxation - chiropractic vancouver washington

Resolution of Chronic Otitis Media, Neck Pain, Headaches & Sinus Infection in a Child Following an Increase in Cervical Curvature & Reduction of Vertebral Subluxation

 

Here is more evidence that childrens health can improve with chiropractic care.

 

Objective: This paper describes the chiropractic care of an 8 year old female with a 3-year history of otitis media, cephalgia, cervicalgia, and sinus infections.

 

Clinical Features: An 8-year old female presented with complaints of severe, debilitating otitis media with constant bilateral sub-occipital headaches and sinus pressure for the last 3 years. Previous treatment included 2 tympanectomy surgeries bilaterally, several rounds of antibiotics, and sinus surgery. Due to persistent headaches, neck pain, continued otitis media, and sinus infections the patient's parents sought chiropractic care for their child. X-ray of the cervical spine revealed severe segmental kyphosis from C2–C4.

 

Interventions and Outcomes: Chiropractic care over 29 visits included m irror image adjustments, exercises, and traction to the cervical spine. The patient reported a decrease in headaches, sinus, and ear pain. The patient also demonstrated a significant improvement in her cervical curve upon review of a follow-up radiograph.
