"Does my posture matter?" Van Every asks!
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!
According to researchers reporting in the American Journal of Pain Management, "Posture affects and moderates every physiological function from breathing to hormonal production. Spinal pain, headache, mood, blood pressure, pulse, and lung capacity are also among the functions influenced by posture.”
“Posture especially influences respiration, oxygenation and sympathetic function. Ultimately, it appears that homeostasis and autonomic regulation are intimately connected with posture. It has been clinically observed that many symptoms, including pain, may be moderated or eliminated by improved posture." (3)
We’d like to add however that good posture is much more than remembering to “sit up straight”, “don’t hunch”, “hold your head up” and other ways of holding ourselves. Most of our posture is unconscious and is the result of how we deal with our relationship with gravity, stress, our emotions, fatigue and whether we have subluxations or not.
Because of that it is important for children (as well as adults) to have a chiropractic checkup to ensure that they grow up in balance and alignment.

Van Every Family Chiropractic asks, "Does your baby need a Vitamin K shot?"
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!
Hospitals like to administer a synthetic, fat-soluble vitamin K injection to all newborns that is 100 times the daily requirement! If a mother is not malnourished, however, there is no proof that there is a vitamin K deficiency.
The vitamin K shot includes carbolic acid (a poisonous substance distilled from coal tar), propylene glycol (used as an antifreeze and in hydraulic brake fluid), formaldehyde (a cancer-causing agent used to embalm bodies), mercury (the most poisonous naturally occurring element) and benzyl alcohol.
Large doses of vitamin K are linked to childhood cancers, leukemia, jaundice and other severe reactions, including death. Animal studies link vitamin K to liver damage, kidney damage and death. Additionally, synthetic vitamin K has never been studied to see if it causes cancer or impairment of fertility.
A Lancet study reports, "We conclude that healthy babies, contrary to current beliefs, are not likely to have a vitamin K deficiency ... the administration of vitamin K is not supported by our findings...." (7)

Van Every Family Chiropractic wonders, "Do you know how important cholesterol is?"
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!
Don’t fall for the latest diet fad. Eat traditional nutrient-dense foods and avoid low fat diets, statin drugs or scare tactics designed to make you feel guilty, weak and helpless. The facts have been known for over a generation: 75% of the people who have heart attacks have “normal” cholesterol.
Statin drugs are dangerous – you need cholesterol. Cholesterol is an antioxidant and fights inflammation. Low cholesterol levels have been linked to depression, cancer, infection, low testosterone and other conditions. (4)

"Are people who see chiropractors healthier?", asks Van Every Family Chiropractic
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!
Numerous studies have confirmed what chiropractors and their patients have known for a long time: people who visit chiropractors for regular care are healthier – no matter how old or young.
For example, in one study the researchers concluded: “[Chiropractic] patients report significant positive changes in physical health, mental/emotional state, stress and life enjoyment…” (1)
While in another study it was found that: “Chiropractic is associated with significant benefits in physical and mental/emotional state and combined wellness.” (2)
In yet another study the authors found that: “Chiropractic users were less likely to be hospitalized, less likely to use a nursing home, and less likely to use prescription drugs, more likely to have better health, to exercise, to be mobile.” One of the more interesting things about this study was that it involved people over 75 years of age!!!

Otitis media (ear infection). A nine-month-old boy with a history of recurring ear infections was presented by his mother for chiropractic care. The child had antibiotic therapy and the MDs were suggesting ear surgery and tubes.
Chiropractic care was actually initiated during an episode of otitis media. Cranial adjusting and sinus work along with vertebral subluxation correction was utilized and within one week both ears were reported clear. No ear infections have been reported since and the child is no longer on antibiotics and will not have surgery. (15)
