Importance of Iodine and Iron to Child Health Recognized in EU

Positive European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) health claims linking iodine, iron and child development have been adopted and written into the EU legislature.

Commission Regulation (EU) No 958/2010 of 22 October 2010 refusing to authorize a health claim made on foods, other than those referring to the reduction of disease risk and to child development and health relevance.


The new claims state:

* Iodine contributes to the normal growth of children
* Iron contributes to normal cognitive development of children

Let's start with the IODINE:

In my office, Union Square Spinal Care, I often test for adequate Iodine with a simple test you can do at home.
Take regular Iodine tincture (2%), and paint a one inch square on the skin, where it won't rub against skin or clothing. Observe how long this takes to absorb. I you can still see it after 24 hours, then your nutritional status is good. Of course the faster it is absorbed, the greater the body's need.

My secretary recently did this test, and to our amazement the Iodine coloration was gone in fifteen minutes!

Another patient of mine started a daily supplement as a result of this test; she dropped nine pounds of fat in just a couple of months without any other dietary changes or exercise.

I have been very impressed with the Iodoral brand formula that is a combination of Iodine and Iodide. Do a quick "google" search, and you will see the expert agreement here. What isn't being brought to light is the simplicity of iodine deficiency testing, that I just described.

Magnesium, an Ally in Need of Defending

There is a call for us to intervene with the FDA and US Attorney General to change standards and regulations on Magnesium in our drinking water. Historically, Magnesium was in salt, today's table salt is really "industrial waste". With artificially low standards set by our government we have lost another resource for thi...s vital mineral.
I had done hundreds of hair mineral analysis tests, and never found anyone with sufficient Mg to balance the other minerals. Don't overlook the fundamentals of good health.

Bio Allergenix Testimonial

"My name is A.C. and I did the Bio Allergenix allergy treatment at Dr. Leonard Rosenblum’s office in May 2009. It has now been a year since I completed the treatment and I am still blissfully allergy free. Usually during this time of year I would be inside, with the windows closed and my air purifier working around the clock just to get some relief from my severe allergies.

But now, thanks to Dr. Lenny and Bio Allergenix, I am able to walk freely outdoors and not be affected by sneezing, itchy eyes, and an itchy throat; this is unheard of for me for at least 20 years. I now notice all the people around me complaining about their allergies, and I am so thankful that I no longer have to be a part of that conversation. I even forgot I ever had any allergies!"

Flu Shot Worthless?

Late last year HFA published a study from the Mayo Clinic showing how flu shots in children actually increased the likelihood of hospitalization. Now a new study is stating that flu shots in the elderly mostly likely have no health benefits at all.

There is no evidence to support the contention that the influenza vaccine administered to the over 65s is of any more use than opening the windows and washing hands, a new study from the Cochrane Collaboration claims.

"Our analysis is compiled using millions of data from 40 seasons worldwide. What we have seen is that the influenza vaccine can at best have a very small effect," said Thomas Jefferson, one of the authors of the report.

Why commit to regular care?

Here is the joke we tell about ourselves:
Q-How many chiropractors does it take to change a light-bulb?
A-Only one, but it will take thirty visits before it works!

Point being, we are working with a natural system, not overpowering it. So each visit releases stuck tensions, but the body will only accept a certain amount of change. Successive visits allow more change until all the light-bulbs work. The goal isn't to return to the point the patient experienced before pain set in; rather, to bring the person to deeper place of health than wasn't on the precipice of collapse. So while you may have thought you were happy before you experienced pain in your body, the causes leading up to it were already in place.
Leaving with a quote from the Buddhist scholar, Nichiren Diashonin:
"Those who spend too long in the toilet, get used to the smell."
