How to Contact NYK
NVIC and
NYK Asks for Your Help
The National Vaccine
Information Center (NVIC) founded by Barbara Loe Fisher and Kathi Williams has
asked the chiropractic profession for our help. The NVIC has announced
their "Show Us the Vaccine Data Petition" program at the August 23, 2004,
meeting of the Institute of Medicine (IOM), National Academies of Sciences in
Washington, D.C..
The federally operated Vaccine
Safety Datalink electronic database has collected information on vaccination and
children's health in cooperation with large Health Maintenance Organizations
(HMO's) for more than a decade. The CDC has conducted its own analysis of the
data and published articles, most of which have denied a causal link between
vaccines and chronic brain and immune system dysfunction like Autism. During the
past two years, independent researchers were repeatedly denied access by CDC
officials to the publicly funded
Vaccine Safety Datalink
for the purpose of replicating and validating the CDC's analysis
of the data. The question that must be asked is, if the data is
non-disputable, why is it NOT open to the public for further independent
scrutiny? What are they trying to hide?
To help this situation we at
Now You Know are asking all our readers to follow this link at the NVIC website,
http://www.nvic.org/petition.htm,
and fill out the online petition to add your name to those who are asking that
these "public" records be made public.
Additionally, we at Now You
Know are urging ALL Doctors of Chiropractic to join the NVIC and
BECOME AN NVIC
MEMBER . Please use the link we have provided to go to their website
and join the NVIC. Membership is very affordable. This is an issue
we believe in very strongly and the NVIC is fighting this battle with only the
funds we give them in our membership dollars. Bottom line is:
PLEASE JOIN THE
NVIC. You can visit their website at
www.nvic.org.
Sid Williams Settles Suit with
Life University
According to reports Dr. Sid
Williams and Life University have settled their suits. In what was
described as a "marathon session" an agreement was reached on Monday August 30,
2004. It was noted that this unsettled legal action with the founder may
have represented a stumbling block for Life's upcoming accreditation proceedings
with the CCE.
This agreement also paves the way for Dr.
Sid to assist in fundraising for Life at this critical juncture.
Accordingly, Dr Sid appeared at the Georgia Council of Chiropractic annual
convention on September 11, 2004 and made an impassioned plea from those present
to step up and donate to Life University.
Life's remaining hurdle is to get
re-accreditation with SACS, (Southern Association of Colleges and Schools).
Although there seems to be little in the way of academic issues, Life must show
a balanced budget by the end of their fiscal year on September 30.
Life University lost their CCE
accreditation several years ago, but gained it back in a court action against
the CCE. As a result of the court action, Life must go through the CCE
accreditation process again in order to keep the CCE accreditation they won in
court. Sources say that Life has corrected any areas of concern that would
present a problem. It is expected that Life will get their CCE status
re-affirmed at the next CCE commission vote later this year.
Chiro-News Links
There is a lot of
chiropractic news that makes the general media world-wide. Not all the
news is good, but it is worth knowing about. To help keep you informed,
