This is coming from the MMWR which is the U.S. government’s own publication. We've always known that vaccinated kids can contract measles. There are numerous reports in the medical journals of epidemics in fully vaccinated populations. Here is just one from Illinois in which 17 high school students who were fully vaccinated came down with measles even though 99% of the high school population was vaccinated with the MMR (measles, mumps, rubella) vaccine.

Chiropractic and pregnancy-related pain
We at Van Every Family Chiropractic Center of Royal Oak, Michigan, care about your health and well-being and strive to provide you with current information in a variety of health topics!
A Norwegian study reveals that one-third of patients seek chiropractic care as first choice for pain during pregnancy.
The study interviewed the first 100 pregnant women presenting at a chiropractic clinic. The interview included reasons for visiting the clinic, average weeks of pain, where they were in pain and the number of chiropractic visits. The study found that 90% of the patients’ chief complaint was pelvic pain and for 30% of the patients chiropractic was their first choice for care.
Those who had never had back pain before waited the shortest time before seeking care. The authors also found that the longer the patients waited to seek chiropractic care the more areas of pain they experienced and the more areas of the spine needed adjusting. (5)

We can help your headaches at Van Every Family Chiropractic Center!
We at Van Every Family Chiropractic Center of Royal Oak, Michigan, care about your health and well-being and strive to provide you with current information in a variety of health topics!
What Puts the 'Ache' in Headache?
The ache in headache does not come from your brain—your brain cannot feel pain. During brain surgery a patient is often wide awake feeling nothing, even talking to the surgeons and nurses while his/her brain is being operated on (a local anesthetic numbs the scalp). So what puts the "ache" in headache? It's the non-brain structures: blood vessels, membranes and cranial nerves in the brain and skull. When these structures are stretched, compressed, irritated, inflamed or infected headaches often result.
The Chiropractic Approach
Why have millions of headache sufferers turned to the natural, drug-free chiropractic approach to health? (1)
That's because chiropractic has a unique healing approach—chiropractors are the only health professionals trained to analyze your body for a serious and often ignored condition that can damage your nerves, inflame your tissues, cause muscles to tighten and knot, weaken your body, cause fatigue and set the stage for sickness and disease. This condition is called the subluxation.
Just as you may have a cavity in your tooth and be unaware of the damage it's causing, so a subluxation may be causing serious harm to your body—sometimes for years—without your knowledge.
The Chiropractic Checkup
If you have a subluxation we will give you a safe, gentle adjustment to correct the subluxation, thus removing nerve pressure and structural distortions.
Why Does Chiropractic Work So Well?
One study of 6,000 long-term headache sufferers (two to 25 years) revealed that neck injury (whiplash, falls) was the most important factor in the cause of the headache and should be suspected in every nonspecific case of headache. (2)
Subluxation correction has powerful effects. In a randomized controlled trial performed at the University of Odense, Denmark, those under chiropractic care decreased their use of painkillers by 36% and the number of headache hours per day decreased by 69%. (3)
Headaches affect children too. For example, a 10-year-old girl with chronic, severe migraine (6 times a week for the past 3 years) was unable to go to school due to the severity of her condition. Neurologists could not help her. A chiropractic examination revealed a subluxation in her upper neck. After her third adjustment she was off her pain medications and by the third week she was back in school, had started dance classes for the first time in 2 years, "and actually began to smile again. She was leading a normal and healthy life for a child her age by the end of the 5th visit." (4)
Not A Headache Therapy
For over a hundred years headache and migraine sufferers have turned to chiropractic for help, and yet chiropractic is not a headache therapy or treatment. Chiropractic's role is not to treat any specific disease, but to care for the person who has the condition by ensuring that their entire body functions better by correcting their subluxations.
Anyone suffering from headaches (and any other condition) should make sure the nervous system and structural system is free from subluxations—for the health of their whole body, not just certain parts.

We can help with so much more than back pain at Van Every Family Chiropractic Center!
We at Van Every Family Chiropractic Center of Royal Oak, Michigan, care about your health and well-being and strive to provide you with current information in a variety of health topics!
For over a century, chiropractic care has helped young and old maintain and regain health. Although erroneously thought of as a back or neck pain treatment, chiropractic is really a holistic natural healthcare system that can help all people, no matter what illness they have, since everyone needs a healthy spine, structural system and nervous system.
Constipation, neck pain, GI pain. A mother brought her 6-year-old daughter in for chiropractic care. The girl suffered from constipation, neck pain and gastrointestinal pain. After care, mother and patient reported bowel movements improving from once every 4-5 days to bowel movements every day along with resolution of gastrointestinal and neck pain.
The chiropractor addressed the child’s subluxations, applying chiropractic adjustments. (13)
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and chiropractic. Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) affects as many as 11.4% of children. More parents are looking for non-drug approaches to help their children. Can chiropractic help?
In one study, four male children were evaluated before and after chiropractic care. All the children showed improvement in ADHD symptoms (i.e., hyperactivity, impulsivity and inattentiveness, as well as behavioral, social or emotional difficulties) under chiropractic care. (14)

Can Van Every Family Chiropractic help if I need surgery?
We at Van Every Family Chiropractic Center of Royal Oak, Michigan, care about your health and well-being and strive to provide you with current information in a variety of health topics!
"It’s amazing how much evidence there is that fusions don’t work, yet surgeons do them anyway,” said Sohail Mirza, MD, a spine surgeon… “The only one who isn’t benefitting from the equation is the patient.”
For decades chiropractors have warned people against back surgery. It has an incredibly high failure fate. One of the worst things is that the surgery can result in more pain so the patient has to have more surgery – and is never pain free again.
Please, if you know anyone who is contemplating spinal/disc surgery, have him/her call for an appointment. Studies show chiropractic is safer, much less costly and is a natural way to spinal health. (12)

Swine Flu epidemic in England
We at Van Every Family Chiropractic Center of Royal Oak, Michigan, care about your health and well-being and strive to provide you with current information in a variety of health topics!
Swine Flu epidemic in England - even though 70% were vaccinated last year.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control does not check on how well the flu vaccine works. It never asks the question, “Did the people who got vaccinated get sick?” or
“Was there more or less flu in people that did not get the vaccine?” These data are readily collectible but the CDC doesn’t gather them. When collected in past epidemics these types of data have always shown that vaccines are not effective. (11)

Van Every Family Chiropractic Center asks, "Are germs bad?"
We at Van Every Family Chiropractic Center of Royal Oak, Michigan, care about your health and well-being and strive to provide you with current information in a variety of health topics!
They float in the air we breathe, in our food and water, on our skin and in our bodies. We’re full of lots of little life forms we call by all kinds of names such as bacteria, ameba, paramecium, algae, protozoa and others. Some can live in the extreme frozen north, others can survive in boiling water – some need sunlight, some live in darkness.
There are so many of them that scientists will probably never discover and catalog them all.
A common term for these little creatures is germ. People hear the word germ and think of disease. But the fact is they almost never make us sick. Infection is the exception, not the rule. “Germs” normally live with us in harmony, and as long as our immune system is doing its job, even the meanest, scariest germs can’t bother us.
Germs even help us stay healthy – they are important for our intestines and for nutrition – that’s why antibiotics can be so dangerous. Antibiotics kill bacteria and throw off our intestinal bacterial balance leading to fungal infections and other conditions.
In a recent study it was found that most people carry the meningococcal bacteria in their throat intermittently during their lives without ever developing the disease. Prior to the study, it was not known why some people in the population develop meningococcal meningitis and septicemia while others appear to be naturally immune to the bacteria. (2)
What does this have to do with chiropractic?
Chiropractic is holistic – it sees us as part of the whole. We are meant to live in this germ-filled world in health. Chiropractic care helps keep your immune system healthy by keeping your nervous system free of subluxation stress.
Want to ensure your immune system is functioning at its optimum? Bring in the family for a chiropractic checkup. It’s very important during cold and flu season. And if you do come down with a cold or the flu, a chiropractic adjustment can help you fight it off quicker.

Chiropractic and high blood pressure
We at Van Every Family Chiropractic Center of Royal Oak, Michigan, care about your health and well-being and strive to provide you with current information in a variety of health topics!
Chiropractors were right all along. Researchers at the University of Leeds, UK, have found a direct connection between neck muscles and a part of the brainstem – called the nucleus tractus solitarius (NTS) – which plays a crucial role in regulating heart rate and blood pressure.
The finding could explain why blood pressure and heart rate sometimes change when people have been in accidents, especially when there’s a whiplash injury and the neck muscles are affected. There are many tiny muscles between the neck vertebrae (spinal bones) that can be affected in an injury.
Additionally it has been hypothesized that hours spent hunched over a computer may raise blood pressure for similar reasons. (1)
It seems that researchers are still catching up to the insights of Doctors of Chiropractic who for over a hundred years have reported that the integrity of the spinal column can have a profound effect on a person’s health.
The University of Leeds research is a step in the right direction but what will they do with this information to help their patients? Will they continue to give people dangerous blood pressure medication or pacemakers and stents when what is really needed is chiropractic care? Will they decide to cut or anesthetize the neck muscles or perhaps apply electrical stimulation to affect blood pressure and heart rate?
Chiropractors have observed that more than blood pressure and heart rate can be affected: whiplash and other accidents (including sports injuries) have long been linked to many different health problems (of the eyes, ears, nose, throat, shoulders, hands and thyroid) and even the flow of blood and cerebral spinal fluid to the brain that results in personality changes. Long-term damage to the head and neck has also been correlated with Alzheimer’s, ALS (Lou Gehrig Disease), Parkinson’s disease and MS.
It is for these reasons that chiropractors have long advised that anyone who has ever been in an accident, no matter how long ago and no matter how slight or severe, needs a chiropractic checkup to see if they have any subluxations in their neck or other parts of their body. And Doctors of Chiropractic should be in every emergency room in every hospital in the world – it could make the difference between a life of health and a life of illness!
