Our 6th annual Toy lift 2009 is history and I am pleasantly shocked by the outcome. In a year of doom and Gloom the residents of Fluvanna pulled together to provide at need children a wonderful holiday season! Locally we collected in one day over 500 New toys & bikes and $2305 in cash! This has far surpassed previous totals. many were $5.00 , $10.00 donations and several large ones. All of these donations are pooled together with Charlottesville and local school districts go shopping for children at need. According to Toy Lift over 3000 children will have a brighter Holiday because of the generosity of many of you! Preliminary results for Charlottesville is over 11,000 toys & 4000 books collected.
I could never pull this off by myself and the cast of characters & contributions is large. Special thanks to Comcast Cable, Central Va Electric Co-op, Marisella's Restaurant & Armstrong Landscaping for transferring Toys to Charlottesville, Miss Fluvanna, Kraft appliances & Columbia School for their Collection efforts & Tom Powell for his continued support and dedication to Toy Lift Foundation.
Special Thanks to: My Family & Friends: My wife Denise always... Nicholas Lauterbach, Sister-n-law and Chief Elf Cynthia Crespo , Macky our newest addition, Paddy & Doreen O'rourke (you know why) Lisa Smith, Steve & Sue Brownell, Pop (Victor Crespo) and my always there for me friends Betty & Mike Witt.
We are truly Blessed to live in such a wonderful community such As Palmyra, times are tough but giving does something for the soul. My prayer is for all of us to remember the greatest gift we have is the ability to help others...Have a wonderful Holiday & Merry Christmas!
With Love,
The Lauterbach Family.

Emergency Post H1N1
Please note I write this a parent and what I have chosen for my family and suggestion or recommendations should be thoroughly researched.
Many of us parents in Fluvanna are being asked to sign a form to have the H1N1 Shot given at school. There have been many question and concerns regarding this and I think it is good for us as parents to question the safety and efficacy of what we do for our kids.
Personally I have chosen not to have my children immunized, This after many months of research and information that I have reviewed.
I have stated on my Facebook page at Lauterbach Chiropractic and blog for many months about how prevention is the key to staying healthy.
Children should be getting proper rest, avoiding sugar, washing hands and most importantly if you child is sick do not let them go to school and do not let them go back to early as they will be prone to secondary infections.
I have done a lot of research on Vitamin D: the recommended dosage for children is only 400 units, My children take 1500 - 2000 day, especially now. You can google Vitamin D council for more info.
Vitamin c, zinc, echinachea (root) are all good and you should invest in good quality brands with little or no sugar added. If a child has signs of the Flu natural elderberry has been shown to be more effective than Tamiflu.
It is tragic when children die, most anyone that has died from H1N1 has had some type of immuno-compromising disease such as: cerebral palsy, MS, etc.
In a recent interview with Dr. Oz (you can google that to) it was on CNN. Dr. Oz went on to say that he had to get the shot because of mandates from his Job, but his wife and children would not be getting it.... I think that speaks volumes!
Also check out mercola.com for more info.
I don't think I am afraid of the Immunization as much as I am afraid of the hysteria surrounding it. After 18 years surrounded by natural health care, I have a deep conviction that a weakened immune systems gets people sick...
Lastly I struggle with these decisions just as much as most parents do. I do believe that proper nutrition, rest, and yes chiropractic adjustments are your best defense against weakened immunity.
Again do your research and make the best choice you feel comfortable with!
God Bless...

COLD & FLU SEASON - Time to Prepare!
Cold and Flu Season Survival
Revision C
Preparation is the KEY…
Even though the weather is still warm, you can feel that fall is in the air and winter, not too far behind. Now is the time to prepare your body… your immune system for the temperature variations and stresses of the fall and winter months. Our hurried, stressful lives don’t often allow time for proper eating habits and proper rest. The job, home and family related stresses, coupled with colder temperatures have a taxing effect on an already compromised immune system. We are insidiously more vulnerable to the nasty cold or flu bugs that pervade this season. Many of us will wait… We won’t do anything until we get sick. Some of us who are sick will still push ourselves until we get secondary infections (upper respiratory, sinus…) from the initial cold or flu virus that started it all. Then, it’s a trip to the doctor… antibiotics…etc…
Start now ! It’s now time to get started on strengthening your immune system and reduce your risk of the initial colds, flu’s and secondary infections from a run-down immune system. There are some key natural substances and herbals that can quickly improve immune function. And… if you do contract a cold or flu, there are some key nutrients you can add to speed up your recovery, and reduce your risk of secondary infection. Remember to keep these on hand at home in your Natural Medicine Cabinet, especially during the cold and flu season !
Immune System Building/Illness Prevention Program :
Catalyn Multi Vitamin This is basis for providing the building blocks of immune and general health. 1 tablet 2 – 3X/day for children 2 tablets 2 – 3X/day adults Use long-term.
Immuplex Immune System Support This is used to help build all aspects of the immune system. 2 capsules 3X/day for 30 days. Then use at first sign of cold/flu or illness.
Echinacea Premium This is one of the most important herbs for promoting immune health and response to infection. Echinacea can be taken all year long for those of us who seem to get sick frequently or easily, or it can be taken throughout the cold/flu season for those of us who are normally healthy. 1 tablet/day for children 2 tablets/day for adults (Caution : don’t take if allergic to daisy family or if pregnant)
Astragalus Complex This is a great product for those who have chronic immune system depletion, which can often happen in the elderly or chronically ill. 1 tablet 3X/day for adults
Note : Discontinue during acute infection or fever. (Caution : don’t use if allergic to daisy family) This product may be used long-term.
Keep products listed below at home so you can use them immediately !
*Acute Infections, Colds/Flu :
Andrographis Complex This is one of the most powerful herbal formulas for acute infections and colds/flu’s. This should be kept on the shelf and taken immediately at the onset of the infection to increase effectiveness and speed up recovery. (Caution : don’t take if allergic to daisy family or if pregnant)
1 tablet 2 –3X/day for children 2 tablets 2 – 3X/day for adults Take for 7 – 14 days.
*Congaplex Breaks up congestion and works very well alone, or synergistically with Andrographis Complex to help stimulate the immune system. 3 capsules 3 – 4X/day adults
*Chewable Congaplex 1 – 2 tablets 3X/day for children Take for 7 – 14 days.

1- 2 tablets with each meal. Take for 7 – 14 days.
Sore, or Scratchy Throat : Usually a sign of a cold or flu coming on or an infection.
MediHerb Herbal Throat Spray This is a great product to help soothe scratchy or sore throats. It is pleasant tasting, and is also useful for strained vocal cords. Also helps restore mucous membranes in the throat, promotes oral health and supports the immune system.
4-sprays into the mouth/throat every 1 –2 hours…
*Upper Respiratory Congestion :
*Congaplex Helps break up congestion. 3 capsules 3 – 4X/day adults

Swine Flu And Vit D!
H1N1

I’m writing to alert readers to a crucial email from a physician who has evidence vitamin D is protective against H1N1 and to ask you, the reader, to contact your representatives in Washington to help protect Americans, especially children, from H1N1 before winter comes.
Dear Dr. Cannell:
Your recent newsletters and video about Swine flu (H1N1) prompted me to convey our recent experience with an H1N1 outbreak at Central Wisconsin Center (CWC). Unfortunately, the state epidemiologist was not interested in studying it further so I pass it on to you since I think it is noteworthy.
CWC is a long-term care facility for people with developmental disabilities, home for approx. 275 people with approx. 800 staff. Serum 25-OHD has been monitored in virtually all residents for several years and patients supplemented with vitamin D.
In June, 2009, at the time of the well-publicized Wisconsin spike in H1N1 cases, two residents developed influenza-like illness (ILI) and had positive tests for H1N1: one was a long-term resident; the other, a child, was transferred to us with what was later proven to be H1N1.
On the other hand, 60 staff members developed ILI or were documented to have H1N1: of 17 tested for ILI, eight were positive. An additional 43 staff members called in sick with ILI. (Approx. 11-12 staff developed ILI after working on the unit where the child was given care, several of whom had positive H1N1 tests.)
So, it is rather remarkable that only two residents of 275 developed ILI, one of which did not develop it here, while 103 of 800 staff members had ILI. It appears that the spread of H1N1 was not from staff-to-resident but from resident-to-staff (most obvious in the imported case) and between staff, implying that staff were susceptible and our residents protected.
Sincerely,
Norris Glick, MD

Dear Dr. Glick:
This is the first hard data that I am aware of concerning H1N1 and vitamin D. It appears vitamin D is incredibly protective against H1N1. Dr. Carlos Carmago at Mass General ran the numbers in an email to me. Even if one excludes 43 staff members who called in sick with influenza, 0.73% of residents were affected, as compared to 7.5% of staff. This 10-fold difference was statistically significant (P<0.001). That is, the chance that this was a chance occurrence is one less than one in a thousand.
Second, if you read my last newsletter, you will see that children with neurological impairments, like the patients at your hospital, have accounted for 2/3 of the childhood deaths for H1N1 so far in the USA. That is, the CDC knows, because they reported it, that patients with neurological impairments are more likely to die from H1N1.
The problem is that I cannot get anyone in authority at the CDC or the NIH to listen. I need readers to email or call their senators and congresspersons in Washington.
Ask your senator or congressperson to contact the CDC and NIH to complain about CDC and NIH inaction on Vitamin D and H1N1. Also, ask your senators and representative to demand congressional hearings on Vitamin D and H1N1, before it is too late. Here is the link below, just click it and follow instructions to contact your own represenatives.

Allergy Season Survival
Preparation is the Key:
The allergy season is here, and it’s time to begin preparation for the onslaught of airborne allergens of many types. Many people are affected by these microscopic allergens, from mild to severe in their reactions. In some folks, these allergies lead to sinus or upper respiratory infections. Minimizing the effects of these allergens on your health will help minimize your chances of secondary infections. Here are some things you can do to minimize your exposure to these allergens.
- Keep you car’s ventilation system on re-circulate. This will prevent some of the pollen from entering the vehicle. Some cars have a pollen filter. Make sure you change it before and after each pollen season.
- Change your in-home furnace filters to the HEPA type. Also clean and/or change them often during the pollen season.
- Purchase a HEPA filter, and let it run continuously during the pollen season.
While the steps mentioned above can really help, it’s difficult to remove yourself from all allergen sources. This is where targeted whole-food nutritional supplements and herbal formulas can help reduce your body’s response to the allergens.
Targeted Products: (See suggested dosing chart for herbal preparations.)
Listed below are the key products to stock in your natural medicine cabinet for allergies. You should acquire these before the season starts to get a jump on them the moment you feel allergies kick in. These products may be used alone or in combination.
Allerplex: Sometimes the only product that is necessary for mild allergy reactions. Take 2 capsules 2 to 4 times a day; ¼, - ½ doses for children. Works well for young children and adolescents.
Albizia Complex: This herbal formula helps lower mast cell histamine release. It can be used for moderate to severe allergies. It reduces allergy symptoms quite well. Take 1 to 2 tablets 2 to 3 times a day; ¼ to ½ doses for children.
Boswellia Complex: This herbal anti-inflammatory formula works synergistically with Albizia Complex for moderate to severe allergies. It helps reduce inflammation. Take 2 tablets 3 times a day for 7 to 10 days; then reduce the dosage as symptoms diminish.
Antronex: This beef liver extract helps in removing excess histamine from the blood stream.
Take 1 tablet 4 to 6 times a day; ¼ to ½ doses for children.
Chewable Congaplex: This formula will help break up congestion caused by excess mucous excretions. Great for use with children!
Euphrasia Complex: This herbal formula helps reduce mucous formation and the runny nose and watery eyes of allergies. Take 1 tablet 2 to 4 times a day; ¼ to ½ doses for children.
Thymex: This is a terrific addition to Albizia Complex for reducing the allergic response. The thymus gland Cytosol formula helps balance the immune response. It helps to improve immuno-suppression which is depressed in moderately to severely allergic individuals.
Take 2 tablets 3 times a day with meals. It is most-effective when started a few weeks PRIOR to allergy season as well as Albizia /Complex.
Complications from allergies:
Sometimes seasonal allergies may result in other respiratory complications. Sinusitis and bronchitis may result from opportunistic bacteria present in the sinus and bronchial areas. There are a number of natural substances that can help eliminate sinusitis and bronchitis, if they’re caught in time. Also, many times, allergies will trigger an asthma attack.
Asthma:
PulmaCo: This synergistic formula will help alleviate allergy related asthma. It has herbs that act as decongestants, antibacterial action, and will provide relief from bronchial spasms that cause wheezing and shortness of breath. Note: Do not use in place of broncho-dilators!
Take 1 tablet 3 times a day; ¼ to ½ doses for children.
Acute Bronchitis:
Andrographis Complex: This synergistic formula will help strengthen the immune system and has potent antibacterial action.
Take 1 to 2 tablets 3 to 4 times a day; ¼ to ½ doses for children.
Broncafect Tablets: This formula helps with acute bronchitis or flu with cough.
Take 2 tablets 3 to 4 times a day for adults. Take for 7 to 14 days. (Caution: Do not use if high blood pressure, water retention, low potassium, allergy to the daisy family, or pregnancy is present.)
Fen-Gre: This formula helps break up thick mucous and congestion and gets it moving.
Take 2 capsules 3 to 4 times a day; ½ doses for children.
Golden Seal 500mg: This is one of the best herbs for restoration of the mucous membranes in the sinus, respiratory, and GI tract. It also has potent antimicrobial action. Take 1 tablet 2 to 3 times a day; ¼ to ½ doses for children.
Sinusitis:
Fen-Gre: This formula helps break up mucous and congestion and gets it moving. Take 2 capsules 3 to 4 times a day; ½ doses for children.
Andrographis Complex: This synergistic formula will help strengthen the immune system and has potent antibacterial action. Take 1 to 2 tablets 3 to 4 times a day; ¼ to ½ doses for children.
Golden Seal 500mg: This is one of the best herbs for restoration of the mucous membranes in the sinus, upper respiratory and GI tract. It also has potent antimicrobial action. Take 1 tablet 2 to 3 times a day; ¼ to ½ doses for children.
Nasal Irrigation: This is an excellent way to help restore the sinus passages and mucous membranes. It works very well in both acute and chronic sinusitis. (Caution: Do not use if allergic to any of the listed herbs.
½ cup of warm water;
½ tsp. sea salt;
1 ml. Albizia 1:2;
1 ml. Eyebright 1:2;
1 ml. Golden Seal 1:3.
Place this solution into a Neti Pot or clean sterile container. Irrigate the sinuses 2 to 3 times a day with the solution using the Neti Pot or a large dropper. Make the solution fresh each day. This will help minimize the effects of allergies in the nasal and sinus passages…
Other Important Considerations:
Sometimes, food sensitivities and allergies will compound airborne allergy reactions, making them worse. This entire group of allergens keeps the body in a systemic, elevated immune state, which can exaggerate airborne allergy symptoms. If you seem to have allergies all year-round, you may want to consider eliminating common allergenic foods such as wheat/gluten, dairy, eggs, and soy from your diet for a few weeks to see if your over-all allergy symptoms diminish. If they seem to, you may be experiencing additional allergy symptoms from food sensitivities. See your healthcare practitioner for more information.
Detoxification and Cleansing:
Now, take your health to the next level. Do the Standard Process Purification and Cleansing Program. This program will help improve the body’s ability to detoxify and may lower your response to seasonal allergens. For more information on the Purification Program, contact your healthcare practitioner.
