Chiropractic Philosophy, Science and Art...Bringing it all Together
Welcome to: PedEx --the special e-news from the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association.
Our purpose is to connect you with the Research and Resources to better serve the families in your communities.
Science
Flawed Studies Mislead the Public:
1- Autism and Thimerosal
Safe Minds' Analysis of Denmark Data Finds Dramatic Drop in Autism Rates After Thimerosal Removal from Vaccines. Flaws in study appearing in JAMA invalidates its conclusions. http://www.safeminds.org/sfpub/sfpub.html
2- ACA responds to stroke study.You will definitely want to have this article on hand to rebut the nonsense about chiropractic adjustments and strokes.
http://www.icpa4kids.org/kid_b_family_health_safety_and_efficacy.htm3- Unjustified conclusions of the IOM Committee study of the "Potential Role of Vaccination in Sudden Unexplained Death in Infancy"
An in depth look at the relationship between SIDS and vaccines. http://www.redflagsweekly.com/conferences/vaccines/oct10_Yazbak.html
Legitimate studies get withheld!
1- Ontario DCs are being told not to give advise about vaccinations to their patients, but to refer them to medical experts.
Please note some of the following proposed points:
- "The College of Chiropractors of Ontario accepts vaccination as a cost-effective and clinically efficient public health preventative procedure for certain viral and microbial diseases as demonstrated by the scientific community.
- Chiropractors may express personal views about immunization/vaccination, but may not, in their professional capacity, express their views about immunization/vaccination as it is outside their area of professional expertise.
- The purposes of the standard of practice are: to ensure that chiropractors advise patients to consult health providers who are qualified to fully inform patients with regard to immunization.
- For purposes of this standard of practice, CCO takes the position that physicians and nurse practitioners are qualified health providers with respect to immunization procedures."

Philosophy
In the last PedEx we pointed out how the osteopathic profession is moving ahead and bringing philosophy (very similar to ours) to the public. It is time we do as well.
Looking for some good chiropractic philosophy? Check out New Beginnings Philosophy weekend here: http://www.newbeginningschiro.com/
Instructors from the ICPA will be there for technique (including Webster Certification) and a CA program.
Art
