Our office will be open today and regular hours throughout the week. But we will be working a reduced schedule until we figure out staffing replacements for Vince. Again, please pray for his family. They are going to need help.

I sadly just received word that my beloved office manager Vince was killed in a car accident on Highway 12 on Friday night on his way home from church in Lewiston. I am unsure how to process the information. At the very least, our office may be closed for a day or two while we figure things out. His family is going to need a lot of help as he was the major provider for his household and they are unsure how they can handle their loss. Please pray for his family today.

A HUGE thank you to Dr. Avallone at Pacific Chiropractic Dr John Avallone for trading adjustments while on vacation! What a gift. He was basically the Hawaiian version of me in so many ways. Even down to similar injuries.

Medicare has again cut our reimbursement by another 2% bringing our overall fee raise to 15.6% since I started practice in 1997. This is our 6th cut with zero increases since 2013, and is an overall 40% reduction in our regular fees. We will most likely be adjusting our non-covered services fee to compensate for this to keep Medicare patients profitable and will take this into consideration in 2026 as to whether or not we continue participation in the Medicare program.

After getting an NPR "scientist" opinion piece on debunking vaccines and autism from a vehemently Pro-Vax patient, I printed out 20+ peer reviewed medical journal articles documenting a possible correlation between vaccine aluminum and thimerosal and autism, and without even looking at them, she got hostile that those were not accurate and they were the wrong scientists and were biased, and that it all has been debunked. It was a test to see if it was worthy of my time. It was not and I won't put in the effort again. Here is the info for anyone who wants to read them and form your own opinions:

Virus-induced autoimmunity may play a causal role in autism. To examine the etiologic link of viruses in this brain disorder, we conducted a serologic study of measles virus, mumps virus, and rubella virus. Viral antibodies were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay in the serum of autistic....

I have to say that I am more than disappointed.The MAHA Movement, instead of decreasing reliance on big pharma for Americans, now has opened a way to sell more drugs to more people at cheaper prices, as well as endorsing Pfizer, the company that created the COVID vaccine, as doing a "great job" during COVID. If that was some "art of the deal," I do not approve. What a sad day for America.
