The medical advisor to this publication is a regular columnist with The Record, the Toronto Star owned paper for Kitchener-Waterloo, Ontario. He also had a booth across the room from Ogi Ressel in Burlington's Heart and Soul Wellness show. Why would a licensed medical doctor allow his name to appear on a magazine that continuously knocks medical science and supports quackery?

Challenging the Germ Theory of Disease

New Directions Magazine - Nov-Dec 2000

Dear editor,

My son and I were fishing this past summer and our conversation led to the topic of sickness. He was puzzled as to why some of his friends always seemed to be sick and generally unhealthy while others, including himself, very rarely got sick. I thought the best explanation I could give him was a story that always fascinated me.

Masha and Dasha were one of the most unusual set of Siamese twins ever born. Although Masha and Dasha had four arms, they only had three legs. Their upper intestines are separated but they share a single lower intestine and rectum. They have four kidneys, one bladder, and one reproductive system. Because of shared circulatory systems the twins share each others blood. Thus, a bacterium or virus that enters one twins blood would soon be seen in the blood of the sister. Yet, surprisingly, illness affected them differently. Dasha was short sighted and prone to colds and right handed. Masha smoked occasionally, had higher blood pressure, good eyesight and was left handed but generally had a healthier constitution than her sister.

The twins differing health patterns present a mystery. Why did one become ill with a childhood disease, like measles for example, while the other did not? The measles germ was in both their blood streams, so, why didnât they both get the measles?

Evidently, there is more to ãgetting the measlesä than having the ãmeasles bugä?. The phenomenon was seen over and over again with the sisters (flus, colds, injections were all experienced separately). So, the germs alone did not have the power to cause disease.

What was the difference between the girls? Although they had a common circulatory, digestive, excretory, lymphatic, endocrine and skeletal system, they had separate spinal columns and spinal cords. The sisters provide an extraordinary example of how the state of your spine and nervous system can determine whether you have a high or low resistance to disease. Germs can make you sick if and only if your body provides them a fertile ground to grow in. Therefore, by keeping your spinal column and nervous system free from stress you stay in a higher state of health.

There is one profession whoâs sole mandate is the care of the spine and the nervous system. Chiropractic! The purpose of chiropractic care is to detect vertebral subluxations which are minor misalignments of the spine that cause nerve interference due to irritation and pressure. Most people donât realize that the weight of a quarter resting on a nerve could cause nerve degeneration. Nerve interference promotes sickness and disease. It robs us of our vitality and weakens our immune system and hampers our bodyâs natural healing abilities. Chiropractors believe the purpose of healthcare should be to maintain wellness by prevention, allowing the bodyâs wisdom to do the healing without interfering with this process.

ãGet knowledge of the spine for this is the requisite for many diseases.ä Hippocrates-460-377 BC

Dr. Kinat is a proud anti-vaccine member of the Chiropractic Awareness Council. Some of their members have picketed a high school near their office during a serious meningitis outbreak to tell students that they don't have to get their shots.

• Russian siamese twins - chiropractic style - I love the scientific nature of chiropractors. Please, please, let's have the doctor's charts, the published papers. This is totally typical of chiropractic tactics when it comes to vaccines.
