Continued research shows many people have increasing levels of toxins, as I have been stating for many years, that are causing serious health effects. PFOA or Perfluorocatanoic Acid, as stated by a May 2010 report of the EPA, demonstrates cooking with Teflon pots and pans leaches this chemical into our system. It has also been demonstrated this chemical can be a factor in aberrant thyroid function, which can be a major factor in fatigue. I have listed the reference below.

[Environmental Health Perspectives May, 2010:
Association between Serum Perfluorooctanoic Acid (PFOA) and Thyroid Disease in the U.S. National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey

Standard thyroid tests are thought by many Holistic and Wellness Physicians not to be adequate in evaluating optimal function. This report, referred to above, documented that thyroid function is harmed by these PFOA toxins that seem to be found in almost everyone in today’s toxic environment. You may want to do a more thorough investigation of thyroid function on yourself and your patients and educate them to not use coatings that give off toxic substances.

A good book to read is, Type 2 Hypothyroidism, by Mark Starr. He gives you many insights on more extensive testing and what he considers a hidden epidemic of thyroid problems. He states millions of patients have fatigue and obesity that have been diagnosed with normal thyroid by standard tests. He feels many of these patients are hypothyroid.

Labrix (877-656-9596) has added an iodine test because of the common finding of Iodine deficiency. Mark Starr feels this is a serious deficiency as well in his evaluations. Iodine supplementation is needed by most Americans and it also helps counteract the Bromine and Fluorine toxins everyone is exposed to in today’s environment. We get Fluorine in our water, toothpaste, some dental treatments etc. Fluorine and Bromine bind up the needed iodine and extra is needed to be adequate for us to function normally. We are also exposed to fluorinated water daily in our bath and showers. Mountain Dew is a popular beverage, which contains toxic Bromine that has been documented to increase mental problems.

Consider safe cooking utensils, adding Nutri-West’s Iodine Rescue, Total Greens, Total Veggie, Total Chelate, Total System Detox, Total Liver Detox, Total Thyroid and maybe even a Dana Water System (480-924-4999, www.danawater.com), and a Far Infra Red Sauna (800-794-5355, www.hightechhealth.com), as well as reducing your chlorine and bromine intake/exposure.

We have a new Heavy Metal Challenge we are teaching at the Nutri-West/Brimhall Seminars. Most doctors are saying it is one of the most helpful things they have learned in years. It solves those non testable patients and even shows which brain areas will respond to laser and nutrition therapy most readily. We are of course teaching laser therapy applicable to all cold lasers. We are using and demonstrating the Quantum Scalar Wave Laser in our teachings, that is very affordable and effective as it uses red, infra red and violet wavelengths.

Brimhall Certified Doctors, Atlanta Homecoming June 5th and 6th will be your last chance this year to recertify if you for 2010. We are extending our offer to certify for the full price of the seminar. Call Carey at 866-338-4883 to signup.

See you soon,

ABSOLUTELY- The Quantum Wave Laser at only $3, 500 has 8, five mw absolutely authentic red 650mw real laser diodes, and 8, absolutely authentic five 780 mw real infra red laser diodes. That gives me 80 mw of pure LASER power. It also has 20 five mw violet spectrum LED lights that allow me to do the violet nutritional and emotional challenges, as well as any laser I have ever used or tested.

The Quantum Scalar Wave Laser uses a digital processor that creates rounded sign waves and has multiple frequency input availabilities. It has over 100 preprogrammed frequency settings and the ability to program in hundreds of any other frequencies I want to use.

The infra red penetrates deeper and relieves pain better and faster than red laser wavelength. So with 40 mw of infra red and 40 mw of red I can accomplish my tasks at hand efficiently and effectively. Red is well known for its ability in wound healing, pain reduction, increasing mitochondria and ATP output, modulating energy flow, anti-inflammatory action, balancing of the parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous systems.

I use the basic unit, which is light, very portable and totally self contained to change all settings instantly. It can be used to treat myotomes, nerve roots, brain balancing, energy balancing, acupuncture points, nutritional testing and emotional stress testing and treatment to compliment my structural corrections and Nutri-West nutrition.

If I want pure Violet Laser Diode capabilities on my Quantum Laser, which is an incredible wave length for memory, skin conditions, infections etc, I plug in my100 mw violet diode into the basic Quantum unit. It is $2995 as a stand alone extra, but at the Nutri-West/Brimhall Seminars, we offer the basic Quantum Laser for $3200 and the combination of the basic unit and the 100 mw violet diode for only $5,900.

Some argue 635nm is better that 650nm in the red wavelength. Both wave length proponents have equal research to back their point. We are talking of 15 billionths of a meter. I doubt clinically, without other variables, the body really makes a major preference in most cases. In clinical results I can not see a difference. The owner of the Quantum, Scalar laser chooses 650 over 635. He said the 635 diodes are actually less expensive but in his tests, when he merged it with the digital computer of the Quantum Laser, along with merging red and infra red wavelengths, he did get better results with the 650 nm. He also turned the normal laser square wave into a rounded wave and created a scalar effect by also merging the infra red and red lasers together with the digital component in the Quantum laser.

Much of this advanced technology has not been proven by double blind studies but the results speak for themselves. I have treated thousands of patients and my son, Dr. Brett and I are in the trenches every day treating complicated cases and monitoring results.

The Quantum laser also has available red and infra red 100 mw Pulsar Probes, besides the 100mw violet probe mentioned earlier. They are $1,600 each. If one chooses to purchase all three, with the basic unit, there is special seminar pricing. Call Carey at 1-866-338-4883. I have also created a DVD for training that is available.

Some proponents of laser therapy state more power is not good. We are seeing many lasers come into use that demonstrate usefulness in different wavelengths and power. In the use of the Quantum or Scalar Wave Laser, we are talking more of the same 5 mw power, not a ramping up of power. We just have many more 5mw workers on the job to get it done effectively, efficiently, safely and quickly, at a very good price.

We are teaching Laser Therapy in differential diagnosis and treatment at the Nutri-West/Brimhall Seminars. It is applicable training for all cold lasers. We use the Quantum in our demonstrations and practice sessions.

We are teaching a new finding and innovation at our seminars in heavy metal detection and treatment that has made an instant difference in many patients. It demonstrates the areas of the brain that respond to laser therapy and shows the Nutri-West Nutrition needed for optimization of nutritional support.

These are the facts as I know them! We would love to see you at a seminar soon!

Yours in health and wellness,

A doctor and mother asked: Will the 6 Steps help a cerebral problem and a post surgery Tetralogy of Fallot for a 91/2 month old?

This child was born in a traumatic situation without Medical help, the cord cut by the mother and the child almost bled to death. He developed a grade one cerebral (bilateral) bleed, anoxia and then was placed on life support. He also had to have a total surgical correction of a Tetralogy of Fallot.

His mother stated at 91/2 months old the child is barely starting to sit up with support. He shows no interest in trying to crawl and the neurologist has told us that he WILL have learning and probably behavioral problems. He is functioning at about a 6 month level.

This baby was seen one time and Percussion was accomplished at the left fibula head, bilateral deltoid recess, spine and the right mastoid area. Craniosacral balancing was accomplished along with shock release and specific cold laser to the spine and cranium as tested.

Nutrition given was Total Probiotics to re-establish friendly bacteria, Total Enzymes for digestion, assimilation and elimination and Total Brain. Other nutrition to be considered could be Total Bac-T, being a liquid and easy to give an infant and very helpful for the immune system.

Mother’s report 8 days after treatment: Hi Dr. Brimhall,

I just want to let you know that our baby will now sleep on his left side willingly for the first time since his heart surgery (last Aug)...he has always only wanted to lay on his back or right side only. AND..he started uttering "da-da-da-" and ga-ga-ga, and almost singing instead of screaming. He is also moving around on the floor (almost thinking about crawling) instead of wanting to be on his back all the time. He is also laughing a lot!!

Thank you so much for seeing my child.

We owe it to ourselves and our patients to do all 6 Steps if necessary to get results. We teach structural correction, including spinal, extremities, Craniosacral, TMJ and fascial treatment. We must evaluate and treat with nutrition, detoxification, stress release and potential allergic reactions to the environment because they are all potential causes of vertebral subluxations, fixations and neuromuscular imbalance.

Our outcome is to take Wellness to the World. We need YOUR HELP. Come and see us soon at a Nutri-West/Brimhall Seminar.

YOU WILL NOT WANT TO MISS THE NEW HEAVY METAL TESTING DR BRIMHALL HAS DEVELOPED.  ALMOST EVERY DOC THESE PAST FEW SEMINARS HAS SAID IT IS ONE OF THE GREATEST HELPS THEY HAVE SEEN TO THEIR PRACTICE.  WE NOW KNOW WHY PATIENTS ARE NOT TESTABLE, LOCK UP AND GET NEUROLOGICALLY SWITCHED; AND WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT.

Yours in health and wellness,

A doctor asked us this week if we can help a compartment Syndrome with the “Six Steps to Wellness”.

An overview of the condition: This syndrome is a compression of nerves and blood vessels within an enclosed space. This leads to muscle and nerve damage and problems with blood flow. Usually there is severe pain that does not go away even when taking pain medication. As the condition progresses there may be decreased sensation, paleness of the skin and muscle weakness.

The Medical Treatment is surgery, which requires long surgical cuts made in the fascia to relieve the pressure. The wounds are often left open and covered only with a sterile dressing on a first surgery and closed during a second surgery if necessary. Sometimes skin grafts are required to close the wound.

This is a fascial problem. The layers of fascia separate the different groups of muscles in the arms and legs and, as you know, fascia is everywhere in the body from top to bottom (intracranial to the fascia of the feet). Inside each layer of fascia, in the extremities, is a confined space, called a compartment, which includes the muscle tissue, nerves, and blood vessels. For CA’s or lay people that may read this article, the Fascia surrounds these structures like insulation covers wires. Fascia looks and acts a lot like Saran Rap and does not expand. So swelling in this compartment will lead to increasing pressure of the area and pushes against the muscles, blood vessels, and nerves. This impingement can get severe enough to block blood flow. This of course can lead to permanent injury to the muscle and nerves. If the pressure lasts long enough, the limb may die and need to be amputated.

The swelling and impingement is usually associated with trauma from a car accident, other injury, or surgery. I have seen patients where they were caused by a bandage or a cast that was too tight.

Treatment with the 6 Steps: I have seen great results in patients if the condition is identified and corrected before permanent damage has resulted. You identify first any spinal subluxations or fixations and correct them. You may need to do the disk treatment as we teach. Then identify any extremity subluxation or fixation in the area and correct is manually or with instrument adjusting. Now with the Percussion Instrument you release the fascial involvement. With a compartment syndrome you do much more percussion than normal. For instance on a leg or foot I would release the right greater trochanter, the proximal and distal fibula, the calcaneus, the cuboid and the navicular bones as contact areas. I would then release the plantar fascia. It is important you hold firm with the listening hand opposite to the area being percussed.

Nutritional Support:
1) Total Joint Support to allow adequate nutrition for the joint and the soft tissue. It is supportive to all connective tissue.
2) Total Inflam to reduce inflammation.
3) DSF Glandular or Herbal, as many compartment syndromes are caused from repetitive activities such as running, exercise, repetitive work movements, etc causing injuries.
4) Evaluate the patient’s essential fatty acid intake and consider Total Flax or Complete Omega 3 Essentials.
5) Heavy metal and other toxic burden may need to be evaluated in many cases.

The main function of vitamin D is to maintain normal levels of calcium and phosphorus in the blood to support bone mineralization, cell functions, and proper nerve and muscle function. Vitamin D acts as a hormone, enhancing the absorption of calcium and phosphorus in the small intestine.

Vitamin D is needed for normal growth.

Osteoporosis
Vitamin D deficiency can lead to the development of osteoporosis because it reduces calcium absorption. Higher vitamin D levels have been associated with stronger bones (greater bone mineral density).

In most studies, the effects of vitamin D and calcium can't be separated.

Cancer
Preliminary evidence suggests vitamin D may aid in cancer prevention by blocking cell growth and differentiation.

Since the late 1980s, the risk of developing and dying from breast, prostate, ovarian, and other cancers has been found to be increased in geographic areas located at higher latitudes, where there's less sun exposure, and with vitamin D deficiency.

A study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that vitamin D may reduce the incidence of cancer.

Autoimmune Disease
Vitamin D has been shown to influence the immune system, there is some evidence it may help with autoimmune conditions.

Other Possible Conditions To Consider Vitamin D

• Osteoporosis prevention and treatment
• Cancer prevention
• Diabetes prevention
• Polycystic ovary disease
• Depression and other mood disorders
• Gum disease prevention
• Psoriasis
• Seasonal affective disorder
• Fibromyalgia
• Immune function

We use Nutri-West’s Vitamin D 400. I have seen the vast majority of patients tested, whether regular blood tests or the Labrix blood spot testing, to show inadequate vitamin D levels. I am currently taking 6 D 400’s myself daily. I was kidding myself, living in Arizona, that my levels would be adequate.

We look forward to seeing you at a Nutri-West/Brimhall Seminar soon. We have discovered a heavy metal challenge that uncovers hidden switching, neurological disorganization, stressed organs and nutritional indications.

YOU control 90% and the world only 10% of how your day and life will go. I just read an article from Steven Covey I would like to condense for you. It will change your life for the better, instantly, if you will apply its message. We just completed Certification 2010. I would like somehow, to pass onto you the feeling of love and energy that was generated there. It was truly a healing experience as well as a learning transformation. This little article may set the stage for that accomplishment and create more peace in your life.

Scenario # 1: To relate this principle, place yourself at the kitchen table with your family for breakfast. Your daughter spills a glass of milk on your shirt. You blow a gasket, yell at her and make her cry. You carry on until she can’t eat, she misses her bus, your wife is mad at you, leaves for work and now you have to go up stairs and put on a clean shirt and take your daughter to school.

You are mad, in a hurry and speed in a school zone and get a ticket. Your daughter won’t say a word to you and leaves the car still crying. You now realize you have forgotten your brief case, have to go back home and miss a very important meeting that costs you money and your reputation.

When you get home that evening, your wife is still mad at you, your daughter’s confidence is shattered and you feel horrible. You have taken a 10% incident and turned your 90% reaction into a lose-lose situation and have created a boomerang effect of negativity that can last a lifetime.

Scenario # 2: You started out your day with DSF so you do not stress out with life’s activities. You took your Total Liver Detox, as a toxic liver brings out anger. Of course you had your Total Enzymes for great digestion and your Total Probiotics, since your gut is your second brain and you want it at its best.

Now, the milk gets spilled on your shirt and you laugh and comment, “That woke me up”. You say to your daughter, don’t worry sweetheart, just be a little more careful next time. You give her a hug, wink at your wife and say I guess we will have to put the drinks a little closer to the center of the table. You go upstairs and change your shirt, remember your briefcase, get to work on time and close the deal because you created a win-win in the universe. You have created love and harmony in your world, and the world of those around you.

My personal experience and observation is Nutri-West is a Chiropractic family owned an operated company with YOU in mind. We at Brimhall Wellness are honored to share time and our lives with you at Nutri-West Seminars and on the Puzzle Pieces etc to create a more joyful, healthy and profitable life and practice.

Blessings to You and Yours! May your 90% convert the 10% into Unlimited Prosperity!
