Francesca will be available to see patients on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and SATURDAYS.  Yes, we will have office hours on Saturdays from 9-1. Send in someone you care about today to meet Francesca.

Dr. Schmidt and Dr. Shannon still welcome your referrals as well.
Flu vaccine doesn't save lives.
Vit. D better -by far!
Influenza mortality has not declined with increasing vaccination rates.  A 2006 study stated "We found no evidence of reduction in influenza-related mortality in the last 15 years, despite the concomitant increase of influenza vaccination coverage from ~10% to ~60%."

Just in time for flu shots... Here's what mercury in flu shots does to nerve cells.  Click here to see Mercury stripping nerve cells

Of the 160 million flu shots, there are some set aside for people like you who wish to have MERCURY-FREE flu shots; no thimerisol.  They are expecting you and those shots are set aside in refrigerators as opposed to the others ones which just sit in boxes. If you get a flu shot, request mercury free.  They have 6,000 ready for you out of the 160 million.

A better option than the flu shot is Vitamin D. According to a study in the journal Epidemiology and Infection: only one person out of 104 had a cold or flu while taking 2,000 IU's (IU= International Units) of vitamin D. That one person only had ONE COLD all year out of all 104.

The people in the control group, also numbering 104 members, suffered an average of 3 colds/flu per person per year.

Please re-read those last two paragraphs if your jaw didn't drop.  One cold in the Vit. D group versus 312 colds in the control group.  Each group had 104 people.

Come in today to be tested to see if you would benefit from Vitamin D supplementation which could prevent colds and flu.
Pass It On

"I contacted Dr. Schmidt after reading his article on care and feeding of the arteries in a Natural Awakenings newsletter.  Although I felt 'well enough,' I was concerned about a tired, heavy feeling in my chest and general weakness after moderate outdoor work.  At the time I also had heavy congestion in my left ear and could barely hear. I have had impaired hearing for many years and didn't feel anything could be done for the long-term hearing problem, but mentioned the congestion to Dr. Schmidt.
 
One morning,after a week on Dr. Schmidt's program, I  was doing some typical yoga stretches and I joyfully realized that I felt much stronger, more flexible and no muscle aching.  Throughout the day and into the week, I had more energy, more interest in trying new things, and a wonderful feeling of well-being.  I felt as if I were in my forties again.  During the next few weeks, as I worked with Dr. Schmidt on little problems (arthritis in thumb, toxins in body, etc.) it seemed to me that I was saving myself from much larger problems down the road.
 
The greatest surprise while working with this program was improved hearing. Most of the congestion has cleared and there are times I can hear better than I have in many years. Apparently, Dr. Schmidt's program was working beyond the recent congestion problem.  As I talked to Dr. Schmidt about this and observed how he worked with me,  I truly sensed his dedication and competence.  A gut level feeling told me if a healing method was out there, he would find and use it.
 
As with many others, I have always been interested in nutrition, natural healing, alternative medicine, etc. Over the years, I have tried to learn and do much on my own.  As I work with Dr. Schmidt and his caring associates, I know I can only do so much by myself. I feel fortunate to have available professionals who so beautifully share these gifts of natural healing."

PARASITES IN YOU
Parasites are probably the single most undiagnosed health challenge in this country. They cause strange symptoms and hide from detection very well. Of the over 1000 parasites that can affect us, only 40 or 50 can be identified through standard medical tests. Fortunately, there are other, non-standard tests that can find more. Come to this lecture to find out the best way to get tested for parasites and learn more about how parasites affect our digestion, our brain and what herbs can clear them out.
