planetc1.com-news@9:05 pm PST The Planet Chiropractic e-mail inbox continues to fill up with messages of gratitude, thank you's, testimonials, and words of excitement, from chiropractors, staff, spouses, and others that attended the 2008 DCS California Chiropractic Jam, this past weekend in Orange County, California. Instead of one news summary of the ginormous chiropractic event, we will be sharing a number of e-mails sent by chiropractors, that attended the Friday and Saturday event. Breastfeeding in the U.S. at an All-Time High planetc1.com-news@5:37 pm PST The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that 3 out of 4 new moms in US now breast-feed their infants. That's the highest rate in the U.S. since the 1980's, according to a CDC/National Center for Health Statistics report released Wednesday. Vaccine Manufacturing Plant Receives FDA Warning planetc1.com-news@12:41 pm PST A vaccine manufacturer, operating a plant in the state of Pennsylvania, received a regulatory warning from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) involving multiple quality-control observations made after review of the manufacturing plant, at the company's West Point facility.
planetc1.com-news@1:35 pm PST There is little that motivates me more than witnessing chiropractic students working a room at a chiropractic conference or seminar. This past Saturday while attending DCS California Jam I was approached a number of times by chiropractic students from Life West College of Chiropractic with information about an event coming up in May. Told them I'd see what I could do about spreading the word.
planetc1.com-news@1:41 pm PST Chiropractors packed the house at the Performing Arts Center in Orange County, all day Saturday, April 26, 2008. Planet Chiropractic was there to capture photos of the event and conduct interviews with dozens of chiropractors (mostly from the state of California) that were in attendance. There will be multiple articles on the news pages and blog pages throughout this week, related to the DCS CalJam and other upcoming events. What a great time to be a chiropractor.
planetc1.com-news@8:40 pm PST Everyone seems to be picking on the poor Food and Drug Administration (FDA) these days, but for vastly different reasons. To the hundreds of thousands of victims (including dead ones) of adverse prescription drug reactions each year, and their families, the FDA is failing to protect the public. These people believe the agency should spend more time and effort making sure drugs are safe and effective before approval. Meanwhile, the pharmaceutical companies feel the FDA is a nuisance, way too fussy about drug safety details and terribly slow with approval.
planetc1.com-news@2:06 pm PST The Dead Chiropractic Society California Jam kicks off in Costa Mesa, this Saturday, April 26, 2008. A look at the play list of music and videos gives a hint that this is like no other chiropractic event on earth. Where can you go to a professional continuing education seminar and listen to Black Sabbath, Ozzy Osbourne, AC/DC, Lenny Kravitz, and more? At DCS, the music is part of the message.
