Greetings!
This issue has as the second article the research that is causing a
big disappointment in the USA. It was thought that Flu Shots prevented
deaths from Flu especially in the elderly. Now it shows that just isn't
true. The eighth article revisits the value of coffee, new research
in Japan indicates that the use of coffee may be more valuable than
was previously thought. It seems from this study to have a preventive
effect for liver cancer.
If you are new to this newsletter and are interested in
becoming trained in TFH there are articles describing how to become
a TFH Instructor, which is the first step in becoming a professional
TFH Kinesiologist. It is our desire that people find out if they have
a gift of healing before they invest years and large amounts of money
and energy in a healing arts profession of any kind. We believe that
TFH will give you that knowledge in a minimum amount of time and enable
you to help yourself and others at the same time. It could be a wonderful
second career.
Touch for Health Reunion Malibu
March 27-31 2006
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This will be the first reunion after the release of the completely revised
and updated Touch for Health book(release date late August 2005). This
new book has more than double the pages and lots of new information
including the Pyramid of Health, Metaphors in a very useful format and
new approach to balancing, the two major models of assessments for balancing
for goals. It is in full color and all new photos and graphics for both
the standing and lying down testing positions and many other new photos
and graphics. Bring your book with you to the reunion or get one while
you are there as we will be presenting the new materials and showing
how it can make your use of TFH even more effective.
Flu shots for the elderly questioned
in study
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A new study, based on more than three decades of data, suggests that
giving flu shots to the elderly has not saved any lives. The study,
led by researchers from the National Institutes of Health, challenges
standard government dogma. Yearly flu shots have been recommended for
people 65 or older since the 1960s and for those 50 or older since 2000.
U.S. Researchers attempting to quantify the number of lives that have
been saved by influenza vaccines have come up with a disappointing number:
something close to zero. Early predictions were that flu vaccines would
save the lives of about half of those vaccinated. However, "Based
on U.S. mortality rates from 1968 to 2001, the study by the National
Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases found no correlation between
increasing vaccination rates after 1980 and declining death rates in
any age group."1 Some researchers are now suggesting the earlier
studies were flawed, and also that the elderly may not be getting much
of a benefit because many fail to produce antibodies in response to
the vaccination. Natural immunity development may be responsible for
the earlier perceived benefits of inoculations. Details are in the Archives
of Internal Medicine.2 1 Reuters World Report, Feb. 14, 2005. 2 Arch
Intern Med 2005;165:265-272 Dynamic Chiropractic May 21, 2005, Volume
23, Issue 11
Dr. Thie's comment: The drug industry has been very successful
in its Public Relations campaign.It said that there was preventive value
in taking Flu shots every year to increase the possibility of surviving
the Flu. Just claims on bad research. This points out one more situation
that shows our present medical model of disease care and health enhancement
is broken. The assumption that taking a "Flu shot" would prevent
problems from the flu now shows it just wasn't true. How many people
have taken the recommended "Flu shot" and had the expected
mild symptoms of the flu, making their lives more miserable for no scientific
reason. It was given to them in good faith, taken in good faith but
now it is proven after 40 years of use to be a unscientific assumption
that didn't do what was promised. Doctors are not the blame it was and
still is the pharmaceutical companies that made the claims falsely based
on faulty science. The doctors are the victims as well as the patients.

Coffee and the Liver
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A large study (90,000 subjects) from Japan suggests that coffee may
have a protective effect against liver cancer. Researchers say that
compared to non-coffee drinkers, those who have a cup or so every day
have half the risk of developing the cancer. More coffee appears to
increase the protection. There are no firm hypotheses to explain the
effect. Some suggest antioxidant activity may be responsible, although
green tea does not appear to offer any protection. Another study in
animals has found a protective effect against skin cancer when a caffeinated
cream was applied. 12 Associated Press, Feb. 16, 2005, reporting on
the work of Monami Inoue of the National Cancer Center in Tokyo. by
Brian Sutton, DC, DC Online May 21, 2005, Volume 23, Issue 11
Dr. Thie's comment: This was an interesting study that
reminded me of the Gerson Therapy which uses coffee in the form of an
enema along with a very strict diet to help many different serious health
problems. The substances that are absorbed from the intestinal tract
go into what is known as the portal blood supply which goes directly
to the liver for detoxification. When we have substances that assist
the liver function, and coffee seems to be one of them in some people
then it would be logical it would help people be more healthy and prevent
some malfunctions. If you find coffee balances your energy it may be
that your should follow you natural intelligence and drink coffee, even
tho many natural health advocates oppose it. One way to check out if
coffee might be of help to you would be to test your muscles and have
them facilitated and then take coffee into you mouth and see if it inhibited
any of your muscles related to your meridian system which previously
tested locked or strong. Another way used in TFH would be to do an assessment
of your meridians and then take coffee and see if it balanced your meridian
system based on the muscle assessment.

May 10th REPORT ON JOHN THIE'S
HEALTH
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The specialists predictions have so far proved wrong, and I have passed
the 2nd date of my predicted leaving the planet. My health continues
to improve. My blood tests are much better and improving, however, two
of them are are still a ways from being in the range of total remission
. I am feeling stronger and working more. I intend to teach all my Clinical
Intensives in Malibu this year an next, that is 2006. So if you wanted
to take one of these personal training sessions with me now would be
the time to sign up.
If you are praying or giving me surrogate balances or
other energy work from a distance, thank you very much and I will appreciate
your continued gifts. I know that these efforts by you have helped me
in overcoming this situation. I am not yet well and continue to follow
a well designed program of recovery. For all of you who have sent suggestions
thank you. I am staying with my present program as it seems to be working
well.
