Survey closes at 5pm

19.01.2022 Micronutrients are an integral part of the immune system and essential in helping drive an immune response against viruses. The complex, integrated immune system needs multiple specific micronutrients, including vitamins A, D, C, E, B6, and B12, folate, zinc, iron, copper, and selenium, All play vital & often synergistic roles at every stage of the immune response. ... Deficiencies adversely affect immune system and predispose to infections. The dietary intake of micronutrients is inadequate worldwide, including industrialized countries, which can increase risk of infection. Evidence suggests that increased intake of some micronutrients above the RDA may help maximize immune function and improve resistance to infection. Thus it is rational to supplement the diet with micronutrients to help support the immune system and reduce the risk of infection. Micronutrients with the strongest evidence for improving immune function are vitamins C, D and Zinc. Reference Gombart, A. F., Pierre, A., & Maggini, S. (2020).

02.01.2022 The Sunday Night Program on Chiropractic: Tonights Sunday Program made a circus of an important issue, and as a result a number of issues canvassed during the ...program require clarification: 1. All Australian chiropractors operate within a well-defined code of conduct and are regulated by the Chiropractic Board of Australia and the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA). 2. The ACA supports the Australian governments view that immunisation is an important healthcare initiative. 3. There is very little evidence of harm of treating children with spinal manipulation. 4. Chiropractic has an impeccable safety record in Australia, with approximately 30,000 paediatric visits to chiropractors every week nationally, and in the last 20 years the insurance company which insures approximately 70% of Australian chiropractors has not defended, nor settled a claim against a chiropractor arising out of the treatment of a child under 12. It is reasonable to assume at least 12 million services have been provided in this time. 5. There is significant evidence of the value parents experience of the informed care provided. 6. The extent of high-level evidence for SMT care for children is not extensive, however the absence of evidence does not mean the absence of effectiveness. 7. If the law applied to all health providers is uniform and equitable then many other professions, including surgeons and medical doctors, should be restricted in their care because they do have evidence of harm and the extent of high-level evidence for care is also not extensive. 8. ACA supports minimisation of harm not restriction of choice.

02.01.2022 Morning all, what a day! If you have a chance today stock up on some free immune boosting Vitamin D
