STORY HIGHLIGHTS Campaign intended to educate Americans about the smoking habit’s dangers CDC says Big Tobacco spends more than $27 million per day in marketing Ex-smokers profiled include amputee, heart patient Washington (CNN) — Federal health officials on Thursday are unveiling a $54 million national media campaign to get smokers to quit and prevent anyone else, especially children, from starting. The campaign, called “Tips From Former Smokers,” is intended to educate Americans about the dangers of smoking through the stories and graphic pictures of ex-smokers who have suffered severe health consequences of tobacco use. The former smokers profiled have suffered ailments such as stroke-related paralysis, limb amputation, lung removal and heart attack. One breathes through a stoma, a surgically created hole in the neck through which a person who has undergone larynx or voice box surgery can breathe. “Hundreds of thousands of lives are lost each year due to smoking, and for every person who dies, 20 more Americans live with an illness caused by smoking,” Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said in a statement. “We cannot afford to continue watching the human and economic toll from tobacco rob our communities of parents and grandparents, aunts and uncles, friends and co-workers. We are committed to doing everything we can to help smokers quit and prevent young people from starting in the first place.” The ads are the brainchild of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Office on Smoking and Health. The agency says smoking remains the country’s leading cause of disease and preventable death, resulting in more than 443,000 fatalities annually. More than 8 million Americans live with a smoking-related illness or conditions, according to the disease agency. The combination of public service announcements and paid advertising for television, radio, newspapers and magazines also spotlights the dangers of exposure to secondhand smoke. The ads will also be featured on billboards, in theaters and online — including on Facebook, Twitter and YouTube. “Although they may be tough to watch, the ads show real people living with real, painful consequences from smoking,” said CDC Director Thomas R. Frieden. “There is sound evidence that supports the use of these types of hard-hitting images and messages to encourage smokers to quit, to keep children from ever beginning to smoke, and to drastically reduce the harm caused by tobacco.” See the CDC anti-smoking campaign print ad (PDF) The campaign includes eight television ads (one of them in Spanish), seven radio spots in 30- and 60-second versions, seven print ads and five billboard and bus stop ads. The campaign marks the first time the CDC has run a paid, comprehensive national anti-tobacco advertising effort. The primary target is smokers ages 18 to 54, but public health experts also said they hope it will dissuade children from adopting the habit. While we are not prepared to comment … discouraging smoking initiation and promoting quitting remain important.Philip Morris USA Last week the surgeon general released a report on youth smoking, leading Sebelius to declare: “Targeted marketing encourages more young people to take up this deadly addiction every day. This administration is committed to doing everything we can to prevent our children from using tobacco.” The agency said, “Targeted messages and images that portray smoking as an acceptable, appealing activity for young people are widespread, and advertising for tobacco products is prominent in retail stores and online.” The need for such a campaign is urgent, according to the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids. “This media campaign is a smart investment that will reduce tobacco use, save lives and reduce tobacco-related health care costs,” Matthew L. Myers, president of the advocacy group. “The tobacco industry spends more than $1 million every hour on marketing that entices kids, discourages smokers from quitting and portrays its deadly and addictive products as normal and appealing. The CDC’s campaign will counter the industry’s marketing with the harsh truth about tobacco use, told by former smokers themselves.” The CDC said the tobacco industry spends more than $27 million a day on marketing to kids and others — about $10 billion a year. In two days, the industry spends about what the government has budgeted for the entire 12-week campaign. The industry denies that it markets to children. Tobacco giant Phillip Morris would not comment of the campaign, telling CNN: “Philip Morris USA agrees smoking is addictive and causes serious disease. While we are not prepared to comment on CDC’s anti-smoking campaign, preventing underage tobacco use, discouraging smoking initiation and promoting quitting remain important to reducing the harm from cigarette smoking. A complementary strategy, focused on the development of and appropriate communications about potentially lower risk tobacco products, may be one of the most meaningful actions that the Food and Drug Administration can take to reduce the health effects of smoking.” Not in dispute is the deadly impact smoking can have on health. About a third of the smoking-related deaths in the United States are linked to heart disease, according to the American Heart Association. The ads highlight a shocking but very realistic fate.Nancy Brown, American Heart Association “The ads highlight a shocking but very realistic fate that could await some current smokers if they continue their tobacco addiction,” said Nancy Brown, the association’s CEO. The ads note that smoking contributes to one in five strokes and increase the odds of having a heart attack. “The American Heart Association believes these graphic ads, coupled with vigorous tobacco control at the state level, will reach not only the adults who smoke, but also will break through to teens and discourage them from ever taking up this deadly habit,” she said. The American Cancer Society says nine of 10 smokers started before they turned 18. “Combating tobacco use requires a multipronged approach, including federal regulation of tobacco products, increased tobacco taxes, smoke-free workplaces and sustained investment in prevention and cessation now and beyond the end of the CDC campaign,” said Christopher W. Hansen, president of the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network, in a statement. “This historic advertising campaign will help to combat Big Tobacco’s unscrupulous efforts to addict new users and prevent existing users from trying to quit.” Featured reader comments: Should smokers be targeted? The campaign begins less than a month after a federal mandate requiring tobacco companies to place graphic images on their products warning of the dangers of smoking was tossed out by a judge in Washington, who said the requirements were a violation of free speech. The Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act passed in 2009 would have required nine written warnings such as “Cigarettes are addictive” and “Tobacco smoke causes harm to children.” Also included would have been alternating images of a corpse and smoke-infected lungs.

Osteoporosis and Chiropractic Care | Manakin-Sabot VA …
Read Osteoporosis and Chiropractic Care by Dr. Eric Carlsen, D.C and Dr. Samuel Brinkley, D.C to learn more about Family Chiropractic Center of Richmond and our Chiropractic office in Manakin-Sabot, VA.We look forward to serving you! Call – 804-784-0161. Osteoporosis is a metabolic disease characterized by bone loss and the degradation of bone structure. It affects more than 200 million people globally and there are 10 million sufferers in America. There are an additional 18 million people in the U.S. who have low bone mass. Those 28 million constitute 10% of the population, making osteoporosis something of an epidemic. While there is a long list of other diseases that may cause bone loss, including certain cancers, hyperthyroidism, and malabsorption syndrome, it is the metabolic factors that define osteoporosis. These include the levels of calcium and vitamin D, and the activity of osteoblasts, which are the bone cells that produce bone matrix. Bone matrix is made up of organic components such as collagen, and inorganic materials such as phosphate and calcium. When we talk about bone loss, it is the bone matrix which is being described. It is the weight bearing bones that are chiefly affected by osteoporosis – the pelvis, femur (thigh bone), and lumbar vertebras. Naturally, bone loss in these structures can lead to serious fractures with potentially devastating results. Osteoporosis can be brought on by many conditions, circumstances, and deficiencies. Menopause is strongly linked to the condition, as are being over 50 years old, smoking, inadequate calcium, vitamin D, and dietary protein, and a lack of exercise. Consistent weight bearing exercise is very important to strengthen the vulnerable bones and prevent loss of bone mass. Walking, running, cycling, and strength-training exercises all stimulate both your muscles and bones to build up stronger. This physiologic bone-building response is known as Wolff’s law, which says that bone remodels when physiologically stressed. In other words, mechanical challenges cause your bone to build more bone, producing stronger, denser bones that are much less likely to fracture. Chiropractic Care for Osteoporosis Doctors of chiropractic will modify spinal adjustment with patients with osteoporosis. The spinal adjustments that a chiropractor performs can help relieve symptoms. A misaligned spine will cause tight and inflamed spinal ligaments and muscles, and restricted mobility anywhere along the spine.

Chiropractic is a natural way of treating neuromusculoskeletal system injury or pain such as muscle stiffness, neck ache, headache, backache, joint pain and so many others. Chiropractic care, as a matter of fact, is the preferred treatment of 22 million Americans each year. Of this number, 35 percent or 7.7 million are seeking relief for backache. Chiropractic care provides a holistic approach to treating a patient’s pain. At times, the chiropractor might suggest other therapies to ensure that the patient achieves complete relief. Other treatments used in conjunction with chiropractic therapy might include massage in Melbourne, exercise and lifestyle counseling. The aim is to restore the person back to good health in safe and effective manner without resorting to surgery or medications. Chiropractors Melbourne are highly trained in providing chiropractic care to the patient. The main method of treatment they used is manual spinal manipulation. This requires the application of force on the affected joints to remove trapped air and to restore mobility to the area. The manipulation technique stretches the joints beyond its normal range, thereby freeing constrictions that cause pain or limited movement. This method also helps realign the spine. The spine is also manipulated back to its normal position to ease up injury or pain. Chiropractors believe that if the spine is healthy, the whole body also remains healthy. A misaligned spine can cause numerous health problems. This is because the spine is responsible for transmitting messages to the rest of the body. If the message relay function is hindered, bodily dysfunction follows. This is why, it is important to remove any impediments that can prevent the spine from functioning properly. Manual spine manipulations are applied to address the misalignment. Once the hindrances are removed, the body is restored to normal health. Mobility also returns. Pain and injury are eliminated effectively.
