Does acetaminophen cause autism? A correlation has been recognized for over 10 years, but it's not so simple to say causation. Here's my take discussed in a recent blog post. Regardless, pregnant women can consider acupuncture for pain relief, which is generally accepted as safe and even helpful for pregnancy;

Sometimes acupuncture just seems like magic when you can get the energy and blood flowing, Nice patient testimonial.

Good morning Glenn!!
I just wanted to reach out and give you a heads up. I’m sure you’ve heard this before, but I am actually blown away at how I feel today. It has been quite a long time that I’ve opened my eyes , stood up out of bed and just had an amazing energy level!!!! I grabbed the vacuum cleaner and vacuumed the whole house within the first 15 minutes that I was awake !! I started emptying the trash and doing all this stuff within the first couple of minutes and then stopped and I actually realized it!!! I literally laughed out loud because I don’t know where that energy came from (per se)
But I’m telling you, I have not felt this way in a long time. And I’m so impressed that it’s just one visit so far. I didn’t expect any of this honestly, but I can’t believe how super different I feel today.

Thank you so much. I will see you next week!!!!

Things that make you go hmm...

A patient came in the other day, telling me of a conversation he recently had with his cardiologist because a friend had recently had a sudden heart issue.

The cardiologist responded by saying this:
"The COVID-19 vaccine was the best thing that ever happened to my practice."

"Mortality among patients with sufficient vitamin D levels was 2.3%, compared with 25.6% in the deficient group.

This has been known for 2 years. Wonder why this info has been kept so quiet?

People who have a vitamin D deficiency are more likely to have a severe or fatal case of COVID-19, researchers said.

Instead of "keep doing what we're are doing" which has clearly had no impact on COVID, It is time to let our kids breathe, let us all breathe, and do something that every study shows really does make a difference. While I do not agree with mandates, our health and the course of this pandemic would be far better off if we would be encouraged instead to take a lot of Vitamin D and get our blood levels up above 50 ng/mL.
