Kiwanis Poinsettias
Here’s an opportunity to decorate for the holidays and help out children and families in the process. Its that time of year again when the Fairfield Kiwanis offers their unsurpassed Poinsettia plants. This is big!
I’ve recently ended my term as President of the Kiwanis Club of Fairfield and I can now focus all my energies on making sure there is a Poinsettia in every home, business and church in the greater Fairfield area. Please help!
These are NOT your sad and lonely Home Depot Plants! These are florist quality. Larger, healthier, and fresh from the nursery. Local pickup will be at Spear Miller Funeral Home. If you order 5 or more I will personally deliver them to you (locally)!
We have two delivery dates, 11/28 and 12/12 and this year’s plants are looking great! They are 8”–20″ tall with 12-15 blooms in a foil wrapped pot. You can order in your choice of Red, White or Pink. They are priced at $25 each.
Please share this with anyone you know.

Prevalence of disc degeneration in asymptomatic adults? Common
Thirty-three articles reporting imaging findings for 3110 asymptomatic individuals met the study inclusion criteria. The prevalence of disk degeneration in asymptomatic individuals increased from 37% of 20-year-old individuals to 96% of 80-year-old individuals. Disk bulge prevalence increased from 30% of those 20 years of age to 84% of those 80 years of age. Disk protrusion prevalence increased from 29% of those 20 years of age to 43% of those 80 years of age. The prevalence of annular fissure increased from 19% of those 20 years of age to 29% of those 80 years of age.
Dr. B: “This is why we should never rely on X-rays, CT or MRI alone to make the diagnosis. The clinical symptoms MUST match the imaging findings.” PubMed

Vitamin D Toxicity Extremely Rare
For those of us who choose to take Vitamin D here is some interesting news. The concern is that because vitamin D is fat soluble, there is a toxicity risk. I recommend taking 2000IU per day for most people. However, if your blood levels are low, below 30ng/ml, let’s discuss whether a higher dose is appropriate.

Chiropractors as Primary Spine Care Providers
Chiropractors have the potential to address a substantial portion of spinal disorders; however the utilization rate of chiropractic services has remained largely unchanged for decades. Due to the overwhelming burden of spine care upon the health care system, the establishment of a ‘primary spine care provider’ may be a worthwhile niche position to create for society’s needs.
