SB277 Information You Should Know
- On June 30th, California became the first state in which legislature passed a bill disallowing parents who cite religious or philosophical beliefs against vaccines from sending their children to any California public or private school after July 1st, 2016.
- SB277 creates an education crisis: thousands and thousands of children will be displaced from their current public or private school.
- Parents who have chosen to oppose one, some, or all of the required vaccines are equally restricted and affected.
- Once SB277 goes into effect, unvaccinated children will be forbidden from attending classroom-based instruction (including daycare). The government is “compromising” with parents against vaccinations by allowing their children to be homeschooled.
- If parents file a personal belief exemption (PBE) before December 31st 2016, their children can stay at their school until the final year of their grade span. The three grade spans are birth-preschool, kindergarten-6th grade, 7th grade-12th grade. So if a child is in 8th grade with a PBE on file before December 31st 2016, they are allowed to stay in school until graduation.
- The bill applies to the following state-mandated vaccines: Diphtheria, Hib, MMR (Measles Mumps Rubella), Pertussis, Polio, Tetanus, Hep B, Varicella and “any other disease deemed appropriate by the department.” Meaning, this list can easily expand.
- Due to SB277’s vague legal jargon, the bill could even allow a school to vaccinate without complete parental consent or knowledge. See for yourself, the bill reads: “…the governing authority of any school or other institution may permit any licensed physician or any qualified registered nurse…to administer immunizing agents to any person seeking admission to any school or institution under its jurisdiction.”
- The final vote on SB277 in the California Assembly was eight votes away from abolishing the bill, while the final vote in the California senate was just six votes away. This is far from unanimous.
- A SB277 Referendum is currently making its way to Sacramento. The referendum, filed by former state assemblyman Tim Donnelly, exists to abolish SB277.
- DeMoss Chiropractic frequently holds informational vaccine workshops, be sure to check out our Workshops page or our Facebook page for more information.

Health Benefits of Avocados!
Avocados have a unique nutrient profile – where most fruit predominantly contain carbs, avocados are high in healthy fats. Avocados are a staple in any Californian’s diet and today we are going to dive into the benefits of this delicious fruit! And yes, it’s a fruit.
Nutritious – There are many varieties of avocados. The most popular is the Hass avocado, which is available throughout the year. Twenty vitamins and minerals are packed into a single avocado, including 26% of the RDA for Vitamin K, 20% for Folate, and 17% for Vitamin C. That’s just in one avocado! Although it contains 9 grams of carbs, 7 of those are fiber so there are only 2 “net” carbs, making it a low-carb friendly plant food. They also contain no cholesterol or sodium.
More Potassium than bananas! Potassium is a critical nutrient that many people are not getting enough of. Potassium helps maintain electrical gradients in the body’s cells and serves various important functions. The average avocado contains 14% of the RDA (recommended daily amount) for Potassium while a banana only contains 10% even though they are often considered the holy grail of high potassium foods.
Heart Healthy – Avocados are filled with heart-healthy monounsaturated fatty acids. The majority of the fat in avocado is oleic acid. This is a monounsaturated fatty acid that is also the major component in olive oil – which is believed to be the reason for its beneficial effects. Oleic acid has been linked to reduced inflammation and been shown to have effects on the genes linked to cancer.

Chiropractic Provides Relief and Solutions for Headaches
Statistics reveal that more people complain about headaches than any other medical ailment. The most common type, a tension headache, plagues almost one in every six (16%) people on a regular basis. Millions of headache sufferers visit doctors with complaints of head pain each year. The most common therapy tends to be prescriptions for medication.
Powerful drugs do not address the cause of headaches. Medications focus on numbing the pain while inflicting risks of dangerous side effects on the entire body. People who suffer frequent headaches will simply experience another headache soon after the medicinal residue works through the blood stream. More medication enters the body with each headache to provide temporary relief while the long-term impact of the drugs creates stomach and intestinal issues such as ulcers, leaky gut syndrome, and irritable bowels.
Chiropractors provide relief and solutions to the cause of headaches. Chiropractic adjustments safely and effectively address subluxation, one of the most well-known causes of headaches. A subluxation forms from a small, subtle misalignment of one or more spinal vertebrae, creating disturbances in the central nervous system that leave a child or adult vulnerable to headache pain. The commonality of headaches leads millions of people to believe that normalcy exists within the cycle of pills and headaches. True health and healing exists by way of correcting the source of the pain rather than simply settling for regularly numbing the pain.
Headache pain does not originate in the brain. Headache pain stems from blood vessels, muscles, and nerves in the head and neck. Chiropractic gently realigns the vertebrae to improve function of the nervous system, reduce tension in the muscles, and increase blood flow. Chiropractors do not attempt to simply treat the pain in the head. A Chiropractic adjustment gets to the cause of many headaches by improving alignment and movement of the spine.
One of the greatest research experts of the past thirty years explored the anatomy and physiology of a headache in a report printed in a reputable medical journal. Research results linked every headache to an area in the neck. The research helped explained why Chiropractors achieve unique and favorable results for headache sufferers by gently adjusting the spine, especially in the upper neck, to improve function of the nervous system, muscles, and blood vessels.
Chiropractic effectively reduces and eliminates headache frequency by addressing the source of headache pain rather than simply masking discomfort with drugs. Chiropractic also functions with a track record of over 120 years of safe and effective results without dangerous side effects. Headaches take a powerful toll on quality of life. Every headache sufferer deserves a spine and nervous system evaluation to determine if a safe and effective solution exists. Painful and frequent headaches are not normal. The solution begins with understanding that Chiropractic provides a healthy and permanent alternative to pain and pharmaceutical drugs.

Chiropractic and Allergies
Spring, summer, fall, and winter comprise the seasons of the annual calendar. Millions of people would identify allergy season as the agonizing fifth season of their personal calendars. Seasonal allergies arrive in the form of sleep troubles, itchy eyes, mucous, and congestion among other uncomfortable and annoying symptoms.
Most medical schools, doctors, and medical literature assert the assumption that pollen serves as the primary cause of seasonal allergies. Doctors prescribe antihistamine drugs as a solution and millions of dollars change hands in exchange for temporary relief that comes at the expense of money and potentially dangerous side effects. A huge piece of the puzzle goes overlooked in this transaction. Why do some people suffer from allergies while other people go unaffected?
The medical model presents a cycle of annual dependence on drugs in order to allow people freedom from symptoms that complicate the simplest of daily tasks. The Chiropractic model insists on fixing the cause of the issue in order to focus on a result-based outcome that improves health and vitality. If ten people walked through a windblown field of pollen, statistics state that only three would be afflicted with allergy-type symptoms. Pollen does not cause seasonal allergies or all ten people would experience an allergic reaction. Every person possesses an ability to encounter and filter potential allergy stressors like pollen. People who encounter the same stimulus without succumbing to allergy symptoms simply react and adapt to pollen differently through the function and health of the systems working within the body. Health and function receive direction from the central nervous system.
The central nervous system directs the immune system’s ability to adapt to outside stressors like pollen and cat dander. The spine maintains an intimate relationship with the central nervous system and improved function of the spine provides a venue for the healing of various diseases and afflictions. A 2010 study determined that patients receiving Chiropractic care experienced higher levels of immune-producing antibodies in their blood. These antibodies help minimize the effects of allergy inducing agents.
The central nervous system serves as the health mainframe for every person regardless of age, gender, or race. Chiropractors commit to the health and function of the spine in order to unlock the health potential in every patient. Everyone in a community experiences the same allergy stressors. Those equipped with healthy nervous systems carry an added advantage. Chiropractic patients across the world experience improvement or resolution in allergy symptoms after a period of adjustments that enable restoration of spinal health and nervous system function.
Drugs do not heal or fix the cause of allergies. People suffering from seasonal allergies deserve a solution that does not promote dependence on pills and medicine that only provide temporary relief and do so at the expense of harmful side effects. Chiropractic provides a safe, drugless solution to the cause of dysfunction that contributes to allergy symptoms and a long list of other ailments. Chiropractic works.
