Would you like to attend an informative health talk tomorrow evening revealing new information about healing and preventing fibromyalgia and other degenerative illness?
Come to the Pharmaca Integrative Pharmacy, 645 S. Broadway, Boulder, Colorado 80304 (in the table Mesa Shopping Center at the corner of Broadway and Baseline) on Wednesday, February 3, 2010, 7:00 PM.
Learn about the six secondary and three primary causes of fibromyalgia, and a unique, natural fibromyalgia treatment program for holistically eliminating this condition in 4 to 6 weeks.
The title of the talk is, “Wouldn’t It Be Nice If You Could Heal Your Fibromyalgia?”, and I will be the speaker.
If you have fibromyalgia, tomorrow night’s talk could be the beginning of the end for your condition. Be sure to refer fibromyalgia sufferers you know to this event. If you do not have fibromyalgia, and would like to gain an organized perspective about holistic health, this talk is yours also.
Diagnosing and eliminating fibromyalgia’s causes are valuable secrets. The complete knowledge for solving the fibromyalgia mystery is generally unknown. Healthcare has not figured out this condition, and fibromyalgia has the general population confused. Most observers recognize the number of fibromyalgia cases is rising, but don’t know how to eliminate it for the individual and are unable to stop this epidemic from spreading.
The secrets to fibromyalgia elimination are conceptually the same secrets for eliminating most other degenerative illnesses.
I hope to see you and your guests at South Boulder’s Pharmaca Integrative Pharmacy tomorrow night.

What are Fibromyalgia Patient’s H1N1 Swine Flu Risks?
By Thomas, D. Groover, BS, BSCI, MA, DC
Do you believe H1N1 swine flu is a pandemic and eminent threat to our national security? Apparently over 50% of Americans don’t and are not planning to receive the swine flu vaccine either. This shunning majority appears to be getting their news from the internet rather than the pandemic, medical emergency, get your flu shot now mainstream media. If you haven’t yet looked into the science, politics and economics behind this media campaign, this could be a good idea before before you consider getting your H1N1 vaccination.
Here is some important information you and your friends, family, and contacts. The President announced on Friday, October 23, 2009, 1000 swine flu deaths have occurred in the US so far this year. He told us we are having an H1N1 swine flu medical emergency and promoted H1N1 swine flu vaccination as the solution. However, the President's 1000 H1N1 death statistics do not seem to be recorded at the Center for Disease Control or anywhere.
So where did this 1,000 H1N1 deaths number come from? You have to look closely at the CDC website to see some H1N1 serological study statistics, but the hospitalizations and deaths reported there do not single out H1N1 as the cause. The CDC says these hospitalizations and deaths are “associated” with the H1N1 virus. CDC statistics only report H1V1 with pneumonia and other associated infections are causing these hospitalizations and deaths.
Reading between the lines of the CDC data, I would say H1N1 is probably not a very serious cause for hospitalizations and deaths, certainly not any more than normal seasonal influenza virus. As with all garden variety influenza infections, the likely cause for the hospitalizations and deaths associated with them is probably weakened immunity from preexisting or associated conditions present in already unhealthy individuals.
If you have a preexisting condition which is weakening your immune system, rather than using the conventional medical methods to manage your condition, consider improving your health and wellness as a way to eliminate your condition. By achieving greater health and wellness, you will naturally and holistically strengthen your immune system and avoid the risks associated with H1N1 vaccination: vaccine reactions, exposure to toxic vaccine ingredients, and the vaccination shock to your immune system.
80% of all health conditions are preventable through diet, lifestyle, and nutrition practices. By using these practices and with some help from a good holistic practitioner, you could be well, strong and comfortably survive what may soon become you average, run of the mill influenza “pandemic.”
Fibromyalgia Patient Holistic Approach to Swine Flu Immunity

Fibromyalgia Patient Holistic Approach to Swine Flu Immunity
By Thomas D. Groover, BS, BSCI, MA, DC
I attended a luncheon yesterday and spoke with a woman about the swine flu “pandemic” and the huge national push to get people to get H1N1 vaccinated. She is a retired teacher and now does substitute teaching part time to supplement her income. Teachers are exposed to about every airborne infection in circulation, and I could see the look of concern in her face as we talked. Her expression showed the fear she had about possibly coming down with the deadly H1N1 virus transmitted by some sneezing student in her classroom.
I tired to explain how and why this flu season would go about the same as most other flu seasons. Unfortunately, much of what I said seemed to pass right by her. Like most Americans, she had been following the “epidemic” on the nightly news, reading about it in the paper and magazines, and hearing about it on the radio. It was then I realized how little people I know about H1N1 swine flu infection and H1N1 swine flu vaccination, and chose to do some writing to help relieve some of the misunderstanding and fear in their lives.
There is so much on the internet written about H1N1 swine flu, and the public is getting it. Over 50% of those polled are planning to avoid the swine flu vaccination, despite enormous government and mass media public relations promoting the emergency swine flu pandemic and swine flu vaccinations. The public’s well informed, healthy skepticism has undermined the governmental, medical, and pharmaceutical establishment control and manipulation of public health information. Wasn’t this administration supposed to be about transparency?
From what I have learned, H1N1 mortality statistics have been grossly exaggerated, and the virus is less potent than the regular seasonal flu. This is what I tried to communicate to my luncheon friend, but we tend to believe what we hear the most and disbelieve what we hear the least.
If you have Fibromyalgia, a weakening health condition, or you plan to stay healthy, you may want to consider holistic alternatives to influenza immunity. The H1N1 vaccine toxicity and the catastrophic shock the vaccine causes your immune system could worsen your condition. Last year, on of my Fibromyalgia patients got her flu shot while she was receiving intensive Fibromyalgia care from me, and her reaction to the vaccine caused an unfortunate reversal in her treatment progress.
If you are not already savvy to the current swine flu, H1N1 issues, I hope my next few posts will help. If you have questions or comments about H1N1 swine flu, holistic ways to improve your immunity and prevent infection, Fibromyalgia, or I may be of further assistance, please let me know.
You know how sometimes you first hear about something and it doesn’t really get your attention. Then you hear about it again and you become curious. The next time you hear about it you might look in to it a little bit. Then the actual thing shows up right in your face, and you have to choose between chasing it away or taking it face on.
This is what happened to me recently in my little country of the healthcare world, in the little state of holistic chiropractic, in the county of upper cervical chiropractic, in the town of scientifically verifiable upper cervical spinal corrective care. Those of you who know me personally or through my writing know I like to hang out in this remote little town, and some of you may think I am from another planet or another universe entirely.
Upper cervical spinal corrective care involves correcting the alignment of the joint relationships between the base of your head (occiput), the first bone of your neck (C1 or Atlas Vertebra), the second bone in your neck (C2 or Axis Vertebra), and your lower neck. Anyway, other than the patients I see in my practice and my professional associates, I receive very few outside visitors to my upper cervical spinal care realm.
Well, I had a new visitor called Atlas Profilax, which is supposed to be an upper cervical spinal corrective procedure which only has to be performed once and lasts a lifetime. One of my previous patients was known to receive such a procedure a year or so ago, and I dismissed this event as a rare occurrence. Then I had a new patient tell me she had this work done on her, and her Atlas was aligned. I examined her using specific upper cervical physical examination procedures, X-rays and X-ray analysis, and diagnosed her with upper cervical spinal misalignment.
Next, a man called me to see what I knew about this procedure and inquire about the work I do with the upper cervical spine. He agreed to be examined before and after receiving Atlas Profilax, and the outcome of this experiment revealed some disturbing facts about this procedure I think you should know about. Read More.
The term "healthcare" is insanely batted around by alcohol guzzeling politicians representing the pharmaceutical companies and special interests, over the health and wellness of their constituents. "Healthcare" is really Washington speak for disease care. When pharmaceuticals and allopathic physicians get together, they are not thinking about your health or the economic health of our country or the world. They are thinking of their own economic health.
Healthcare by definition means the process of taking care of health. Health is the state of optimum functioning of the bodies systems and functions and not merely the absence of disease. Body funcitons are walking, sleeping, thinking, feeling, digesting, eliminating, energy production, circulation, breathing, immunity, etc. When any of these functions break down, disease is produced. When disease is present, correcting the abnormal systems and functions causing the disease solves the disease.
This approach to healthcare is completely different from the current disease care disguised as healthcare. Disease care manages the disease without curing it. Disease care keeps you in the disease care system for the benefit of others.
In disease care, there is no education about health, wellness and prevention. The prevention here is early detection and prophylactic medication such as mamograms and taking hypertension medication when your blood pressure is 120/80. You enter the disease care system when you have symptoms and recieve medication or surgery until your symptoms subside. In most cases your symptoms persist and you stay in the disease care system.
Disease care is hostile to life. It thinks of poisoning, burning and cutting to fight off the hostile invaders, unwanted fat or dysfunctional organs. Healthcare uses diet, nutrition, lifestyle, and care for the human frame to strengthen the immune system for protecting us from infection, keeping us trim and making sure our organs are healthy.
This week I was visited by a wonderful young lady at her witt's end from pain and fatigue. She was taking Lyrica without knowing this drug was causing her weight gain. She is the daughter of a friend, and her case really shook me. I began considering how everyone coming into my clinic is the daughter or son of someone who really cares about the their children.
Take a few moments to review the importance of health knowledege, prevention and real healthcare to get us truly healthy physically, mentally, emotionally, environmentally and economically. Read More.
Elbow Misalignment Causes Arm Pain, Muscle Spasm, Restricted Motion and Weakness
By Thomas D. Groover, BS, BSCI, MA, DC
If you have elbow pain, arm pain, restricted arm motion, trouble making a fist or flexing your wrist, you probably have elbow misalignment. This condition goes undetected in medical circles and is usually diagnosed as tendonitis. Medical treatments include physical therapy exercises and modalities, cortisone injections, anti-inflammatory and pain relieving medications and surgery. Because medical treatments do not correct the elbow joint misalignment, these elbow problems will not go away unless patients are treated by a skilled alternative practitioners, usually chiropractors.
Your elbow involves three joints. One which provides the flexion and extension hinging motion, and the other two which give you hand supination (palms facing up), and pronation, palms facing down. The most common elbow misaligmnet involves the supination/pronation joint, which gives you pain on the outside (lateral epicondyle) of your elbow. Fibromyalgia diagnostic pressure points are located on both lateral epicondyles, and pain from pressure on these points adds to the diagnostic test score for identifying Fibromyalgia.
Elbow misalignment may cause so much weakness you will not be able to pick up objects with your arm. Muscle spasm form this misaligment may severely affect your grip. Turning your palms up and down will be restricted, and the pain could prevent you from sleeping at night. I am telling you this to help you identify elbow misalignment if your have it and receive appropriate care so you may avoid these miserable consequneces.
At some time or another, I have treated all my high school and college football players and weigh lifters for this condition. Manual laborers often develope elbow mislignments. One of my patiets worked tearing shingles from a roof, and the forceful arm supination he used in this process severely misaligned his elbow. You may misalign your elbows doing house or yard work.
Simple elbow misalignments usually respond immediately to treatment, with complete restoration of motion, strength and comfort. Complex misalignments often contain psychosomatic elements that must be relieved for successful treatment. Read More.
Shoulder Misalignment Causes Shoulder, Arm, Neck and Upper Back Pain
By Thomas D. Groover, BS, BSCI, MA, DC
Shoulder misalignment causes shoulder, arm, neck and upper back pain, and shoulder and arm stiffness and weakness. I recommend you lean some basic shoulder anatomy, causes for shoulder misalignment, and how shoulder misalignment is successfully treated. Then, if and when you experience shoulder pain and restriction, you may avoid unnecessarily shoulder surgery. Otherwise, you may undergo the risks and side effects of anasthesia and surgical wounding. And, after your shoulder surgery, your shoulder misalignment will still remain, preventing the shoulder pain, weakness and stiffness from going away.
Traumatic shoulder injury may injure shoulder muscles, ligaments and cartilage and surgery may be required to repair the damaged tissue. However, the same trauma injuring your shoulder tissues, misaligns your shoulder joint. Complete treatment for this shoulder injury not only requires surgery, but also corrective procedures to restore normal shoulder mechanics. Otherwise, shoulder rehabilitaton will be incompete or unsuccessful, and you will still have shoulder pain, weakness and stiffness.
The four joints/articulations of your shoulder may misalign individually or as a group. Not only will shoulders misalign from direct shoulder trauma, your shoulders may misalign from postural distortion caused by anterior head carriage and upper cervical spinal misalignment.
Successful holistic healthcare requires eliminating joint pain and dysfunction to reduce the over-all stress burden to you, the patient. Expert shoulder diagnosis and corrective care may be received from the best doctors of chiropractic. Some chiropractors see the human body as a whole. They not only correct your abnormal shoulder biomechanics, but they also eliminate postural distortion through specific upper cervical spinal care, other spinal corrective procedures and therapeutic exercise. Pain free, normal shoulder function requires aligned shoulder joints and balanced posture and shoulder muscles.
Active, full range of motion corrective exercise is required to balance your shoulder muscles and maintain your shoulder alignment and function. Specific spinal therapeutic exercise is required for successful spinal alignment. Properly balancing your posture provides a stable, symmetrical foundation to orient your shoulders for proper shoulder motion and function.
Is anterior head carriage stressing you out? Over 90% of the population has anterior head carriage, so the answer to this question is probably yes, and the stress it causes you could bother you in many ways
Anterior head carriage stresses your neck muscles, nerves, joints and discs. It is a leading cause for neck stiffness and tension, tension headache and migraine headache. Straightening and reversal of the neck curve caused by this condition stretches your spinal cord, brain stem and brain, altering nerve circulation and transmission everywhere in your body. Fibromyalgia pain and fatigue is partially caused or complicated by anterior head carriage, and all your systems and functions are affected by this common affliction.
If this condition is so prevalent and so bad, why aren’t we doing something about it? You would think such an obvious abnormality would be recognized and fixed. Your mother told you to sit or stand up straight. You may have looked at yourself in the mirror and tried to straighten up, only to be pulled back into forward slumping of your head, neck and shoulders.
Your mother and you get tired trying to straighten out this problem, and there are very few treatment programs showing objective, measurable success with this condition. Everybody has it, and no-one seems to really know how to fix it.
Anterior head carriage is usually grows worse with age, and usually requires intelligence, time and effort to fix. My experience with this condition began while I was working as a yoga teacher and therapist. Most of my yoga students had this condition and as I looked around, so did yoga teachers. I have observed most chiropractic students and chiropractors have this condition, so obviously the the solution to this problem is not within the common realm of yoga, chiropractic, or any other discipline for this matter.

Rib Cage Secrets to Fibromyalgia Recovery - Health and Wellness
By Thomas D. Groover, BS, BSCI, MA, DC
Have you ever experienced a sharp, painful sensation in your upper back feeling like someone stuck an ice pick in your back. Maybe not, but many people answer yes to this question, and never seem to shake it.
How about sharp, swollen pain starting on one side of your spine radiating around to your side, and perhaps wrapping around and to the front of your chest maybe as far as your breast bone? Does this pain make you stiff and cause difficult breathing? Have you had trouble finding something to do about it?
Then there is the dull, achy pain you learn to live with, feeling like it is just on the inside your shoulder blade. No one is able to find exactly where the pain is coming from. You feel like you need a massage, but massage does not really help. Have you had this one?
Have you worried these pains may indicate heart problems.
Well, if you have experienced any of these pains in the past and have recovered from them, congratulations. You are one of the fortunate. But if you currently experience any of these scenarios, you probably have a rib cage misalignment eating away at your energy, outlook, flexibility and lung capacity. This condition could be a cause or a complicating factor to your Fibromyalgia, or it could be preventing you from full participation or performance during exercise, training or athletic competition.
