I have been teaching this for years and CNN finally acknowledged it today (December 2, 2011)  COCONUT OIL is in fact a “Super food.”

• Coconut oil has fantastic anti-bacterial properties
• Coconut oil helps us lose belly fat
• Coconut oil conditions skin and cardiovascular walls

If you have not already heard, Texas has passed and now California is passing legislature which allows medical staff to administer vaccines for sexually transmitted diseases to our children without parental permission!

This will be coming to Utah and other States very soon!  Parents, we need to stand up and fight it.

This move by the governing bodies and the pharmaceutical companies is unconstitutional.  Parents need to be involved in the health and well-being of their children.  Parents should to be educated on the value, cause and effect of ANY vaccine allowed in their child’s body.

For drug companies to strong-arm government leadership to pass laws allowing vaccination of children without parental permission is wrong.  This is part of a bigger plan…

Step ONE: Use scare tactics through the media to create a public demand for products (vaccines) that are is easy to turn a profit.  - Done.

Step TWO: Formulate products and use the government and school systems to help distribute said products. – Done.

Step THREE: Pass legislation protecting the company (big Pharma) from any adverse reactions the population might have to their products. – Done  in the 1980′s (you can no longer sue the drug companies for adverse reactions to vaccines)

Step FOUR: Pass legislation so you can no longer sue the Government for suggesting or requiring your children to have vaccines. – Done. 2002 as part of the Home Land Security Bill.  See the following video from C-SPAN.

Step FIVE: Get the government to mandate or require the products (vaccines) with or without parental permission.

HPV or any other vaccine should be reviewed and researched by parents to decide IF IT IS RIGHT for their child.  It is a personal/family decision.  It is not the right of a governing body nor a corporate entity to take that freedom of choice from  American citizens.

May I suggest you take the time to learn how vaccines are made, how they work, when you should have them, when you SHOULD NOT have them and what is coming in the near future (the HIV vaccine, for example).  Order your CD or ask the staff at the office for a copy of “The Vaccine Conundrum.”

BETTER SLEEP EQUALS BETTER HEALTH

It is no secret better sleep results in more energy, clearer thought and better healing. REM sleep or the deepest level of sleep is most important.  We average only 1 to 3 hours of REM per night.  However, the more REM sleep we get the less overall sleep we need.

SLEEP STUDIES

Military sleep deprivation studies found that we literally go crazy without sleep.  REM is so important that when the researchers pushed the study participants to the limits of no sleep they began to take long ‘blinks’ where they actually dropped into REM for a few seconds while blinking.  That’s how important REM sleep is.  Most healing, and cellular regeneration is done while in our deepest levels of sleep.

Other studies show we get our best REM sleep between 10pm and 12am.  The “WHY” regarding 10pm-12am is still unknown but the data is clear as to “WHEN” is the best time to sleep.  So remember, it is best to get to bed before midnight each night.

If you want to do your own personal “sleep study” I recommend the ZEO clock.  It tracks your sleep through the night and reports in the morning how much of each level of sleep you received…including REM sleep.  If you alter your sleep habits, dietary, exercise or other habits, you can then track how they affects your sleep patterns.  With this information you can adjust appropriately to maximize your REM sleep.

REM BOOSTERS

1. Set up sleep patterns (Wake up early at the same time and go to bed at the same time each night)

2. A properly functioning nervous system (regular Chiropractic care)

3. A good mattress

4. Not eating right before bed.  Eat 2-3 hours prior

5. Exercise

REM ROBBERS

1. Alcohol

2. Caffeine

3. Irregular sleep pattern habits

aaaaaa. Waking and going to sleep at varying times

bbbbbb. Going to bed after midnight (Graveyard shifts)

4. Stress

5. Drugs and Medication (including sleeping pills…may help sleep but not REM)

Maximizing REM sleep in the minimal amount of time (less than 8 hours) can help you feel more energized, heal better and find quality time to better use for your personal goals and accomplishments.  For more information on REM sleep and “self-health” tips check out the book, “Solving the Health and Wealth Conundrum,” available on Amazon.com and at drjayshetlin.com

I understand… auto accidents are stressful. Car repairs, getting a rental car, calls from insurance companies.  Even more important, finding the right doctors that treat and rehabilitate, not just cover up symptoms with medicine.

CERTIFIED Specialists

It is so important to find a Chiropractor or physician CERTIFIED in the detection, diagnosis and treatment of Motor Vehicle Occupant Injuries.  That is why I am excited to be a part of the “Utah Whiplash Group” where doctors CERTIFIED in motor vehicle occupant injury work openly with physicians from a variety of other specialties.  Their skills combined with massage therapy, physical therapy and Personal Injury attorneys also CERTIFIED in motor vehicle occupant injury offer the best care a patient could ask for following an auto accident.

DMX or Motion X-ray

A powerful tool for Certified Auto Accident Injury Specialists is DMX or Motion X-Ray. Utah Whiplash Group on Motion X-ray This 3 minute video illustrates how many injuries (even from low-speed collisions) can be missed by standard x-ray or even MRI. Not every case requires Motion x-ray but it sure comes in handy when used appropriately.

If you have questions about your recent auto accident, call today!

Yours in Health,

Dr. Shetlin
