The Truth – what our bodies can tell us
Our body can be our most truthful source of information. It can tell us about our belief systems, emotional history, even traumas – both physical and emotional, as well as physical information about what's working and what's not.
On June 25 at 7:30 p.m. Dr. Ken Bennett of The Balancing Center will give us insights on what our bodies are telling us. Trained as a chiropractor, Dr. Bennett does more than relieve the usual backaches and neck pains we associate with his profession. His specialties in upper cervical care and bioenergetic synchronization help support both physical and emotional well being.
Join us for the second session of Chicago Well Being to learn more about what your body may be telling you, how to recognize its messages and what you can do to respond. We'll also learn exercises that will help you face challenging situations, how to sit so you avoid back pain, and what to look for when you decide to work with a chiropractor.
To be with us on June 25 at 7:30 CT simply respond to this email with "yes." I will send you the bridgeline number to join us. It is free and we welcome your questions.
To register, call 773-276-1970, visit http://bethbradfish.com/home.html or contact marybeth@bethbradfish.com

Swine Flu Pandemic?
Everything in the news recently about swine flu reminded me of something I learned back in chiropractic school. Through a little googling, I was able to find the data and I’d like to share this information with you.
During the flu pandemic of 1918, it is estimated that up to 20 million people worldwide and 600,000 people in the U.S. died. The numbers are pretty staggering and imagine what those numbers might translate to with today’s population. The data also compared the mortality rates of those who visited medical doctors versus chiropractic doctors. Here is some very interesting information which comes from Walter R. Rhodes, DC that was published in 1978 by the Texas Chiropractic Association:
Does chiropractic treat the flu or any cold? NO. Chiropractic keeps the body responsive and ready to effectively and efficiently handle whatever the environment presents, including the flu virus.

Rhodes, DC that was published in 1978 by the Texas Chiropractic Association:
- “In Davenport, Iowa, 50 medical doctors treated 4,953 cases, with 274 deaths. In the same city, 150 chiropractors including students and faculty of the Palmer School of Chiropractic treated 1,635 cases with only one death.”
- “In the state of Iowa, medical doctors treated 93,590 patients, with 6,116 deaths - a loss of one patient out of every 15. In the same state, excluding Davenport, 4,735 patients were treated by chiropractors with a loss of only 6 cases - a loss of one patient out of every 789.”
- “In the same epidemic reports show that chiropractors in Oklahoma treated 3,490 cases of influenza with only 7 deaths. But the best part of this is, in Oklahoma there is a clear record showing that chiropractors were called in 233 cases where medical doctors had cared for the patients, and finally gave them up as lost. The chiropractors saved all these lost cases but 25.”

A Balanced Spine Lowers Blood Pressure
Dr. Marshall Dickholtz, Sr. (Dr. Fedeli’s early mentor) along with Bruce Bell, MD and George Bakris PhD of the University of Chicago conducted and published a revolutionary blood pressure study. This study proved the relationship between upper cervical neck alignment and the regulation of blood pressure.
Therefore, the study implies a direct and powerful connection of the importance of the Upper Cervical Spine Technique (NUCCA) adjustment and the balancing of the entire autonomic nervous system. Dr. Fedeli and Dr. Bennett both practice this specialized technique that ONLY 500 out of 50,000 chiropractors are specially trained to do.
All of us at The Balancing Center are proud to be a part of a chiropractic practice that positively affects the lives of our patients and is gaining recognition in the medical community and nationally.
Help us celebrate by passing the word on to someone who needs to know!

Is Chiropractic All There Is?
While chiropractic care serves as the structural foundation for all we do, we certainly welcome and embrace other services that are highly complimentary.
Yoga is often recommended to chiropractic patients. Since it works so well in restoring balance and improving flexibility, many of our patients see a difference in how long their adjustments hold.
Massage therapy and chiropractic have worked well together for years. Get an adjustment, let the body get to work on helping you feel better and let the massage therapist get to work on the surrounding muscles.
Looking for a Chicago Chiropractor? We may just be the office you need.
