    23-38 Considering A Booster Jab For Your Child? PLEASE Listen To This First

    23-38 Considering A Booster Jab For Your Child? PLEASE Listen To This First

    Episode 23:38 Considering A Booster Jab For Your Child? PLEASE Listen To This First
    The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) recently recommended that everyone get the new Covid Booster vaccine.
    This includes infants, children, and adolescents.
    WHY???
    Needless to say, the topic of vaccines is controversial, but WHY would a booster be recommended for anyone under the age of 21?
    Will it prevent death?
    NO!!!
    Will it prevent a young person from getting Covid?
    NO!!!
    Will it prevent a young person from spreading Covid?
    NO!!!
    Truth be told, according to the CDC’s own data, one million doses of the vaccine administered to youngsters “may” prevent ONE life.
    The key word there is “may.”
    The booster “may” prevent one death.
    However, the real TRUTH is that there is no data showing that any of the Covid vaccines have prevented ANY deaths in infants, children, and adolescents.    
    Not only that… the CDC’s own data admits that, given the same one million doses, there will probably be 100,000 - 300,000 negative side-effects including 50-300 cases of myocarditis.
    Side-effects from a jab that is supposed to be safe and effective?
    Yes!
    And, one of those side-effects for a young person IS myocarditis.
    But that’s not all.
    Several countries including Japan, Germany, Britain and Australia are NOT recommending the booster jab for those under the age of 65.
    Why?
    What do they know that our CDC and FDA doesn’t?
    Or, what is it that the CDC and FDA knows but isn’t telling us?
    Are they more interested in following an agenda than they are the science?
    On this week’s episode we take a deeper look into all things related to the booster vaccine.
    Be sure to give it a good listen and then share it with a friend.
    Thanks!

    23-37 Genetics And Your Health - Everything You Need To Know

    23-37 Genetics And Your Health - Everything You Need To Know

    Episode 23:37 Genetics And Your Health - Everything You Need To Know
    Cancer, heart disease, diabetes, anxiety, depression, Alzheimer’s, arthritis, irritable bowel syndrome, ulcerative colitis, Parkinson’s, alcoholism, eczema and psoriasis.
    You probably know that your genes play a role in these and virtually every other chronic disease.
    However, you may not know what that role is.
    On this episode we identify that role.
    Specifically, we explain why having a gene for a disease does NOT mean that you’ll get that disease.
    We then share WHY that is... and WHAT the real determining factor is. 
    Give this episode a good listen as understanding the connection between your genes and your health is vitally important… and grossly misunderstood.
    In addition, please share this episode with a friend.
    Thanks!

    23-36 California Here I Come - Catching Up With Brandan Burroughs

    23-36 California Here I Come - Catching Up With Brandan Burroughs

    Episode 23:36 California Here I Come - Catching Up With Brandan Burroughs
    Earlier this year, on Episode 23-17, we had Brandan Burroughs on the podcast.
    He had just moved back to Alabama after becoming very sick while living in California.
    Turns out he had Type 1 Diabetes and on that episode he shared with us his opinion on WHY he developed diabetes and HOW he was coping with it.
    It was a really good episode.
    Now, five months later, we have Brandan on again for another episode.
    The reason is simple:
    When he first moved back to Alabama he assumed it would take three years before he felt good enough to return to California.
    He was wrong.
    The truth is, in the past few months he has done so well managing his diabetes that he has accepted a job and is moving back to San Diego... this week!
    However, before he goes, he agreed to share with us some insights on what he has done to manage his Type 1 Diabetes so successfully.
    His story is inspiring and the information he shares provides an excellent resource for anyone looking to control their blood sugar… or simply improve their health.
    Be sure to give this episode a good listen and then share it with a friend.
    Thanks!

    Episode 23:35 Happy Anniversary Atlas Chiropractic - Lessons Learned These Past 30 Years
    30 years ago, on September 1, 1993 Dr. George Burroughs opened the doors to his office, Atlas Chiropractic.

    - Some of the questions were easy, such as “Why did you name it Atlas Chiropractic?”
    - Some were thought provoking, such as “What have been some of your most interesting cases?”
    - Some were even entertaining, such as “Who are some of the famous people you have treated?”
    However, the most revealing question was this:
    - “What are the three most important lessons you have learned over the past thirty years?” 
    (His answer will help ANYONE in any given field.)
    Give this episode a good listen as you will certainly learn something interesting from his answers.
    You will also find out Dr. George’s thoughts on retirement.

    23-33 More People Are Dying Young. Why???

    23-33 More People Are Dying Young. Why???

    Episode 23:33 More People Are Dying Young. Why???
    Last week a 16 year old girl (Callie Marie Mitchell) from Texas died after suffering cardiac arrest at cheerleading camp.
    The very next day a 17 year old High School basketball star from Alabama (Caleb White) also died from cardiac arrest while playing basketball. 
    Hearts suddenly stopping for no apparent reason… in HEALTHY teenagers.
    Huh???
    Unfortunately, these are NOT isolated cases.
    For example, just a few weeks ago Lebron James’ 19 year old son Bronny also suffered cardiac arrest while playing basketball at his college (University of Southern California). 
    But that’s not all.
    According to the research group Our World in Data more Americans died than expected in the past year (May 1, 2022 - April 30, 2023).
    Specifically, more than 104,000 deaths occurred than expected.
    Deaths that were NOT RELATED to Covid-19.
    Similar research from Life Insurance companies and actuary groups confirm the unexpected increase in deaths, post Covid-19… especially in ages 18 - 64.
    The big question now becomes “WHY?”
    WHY are more people dying… and why are they dying at younger ages?
    No one in a position of authority seems to know the answer.
    Heck, no one in a position of authority wants to even ask the question.
    No government officials.
    No health authorities.
    No members of the main stream media.
    No medical doctors or medical associations.
    On this episode WE not only address this question… we provide answers.
    Be sure to give this episode a good listen and then share it with a friend.
    Thanks!

Helpful Info, Covid vaccine

I think we all need to better educate ourselves when it comes to the coronavirus and COVID-19. Enjoyed Dr. Burroughs thoughts and comments on the vaccine, the importance of staying healthy and why the vaccine IS NOT the best choice for people that are trying to avoid COVID altogether. Lots of helpful tips on mask-wearing was a bonus 👍🏻
