This is a program for living for those aspiring to be saints who have lived too long among demons. This is an alternative vision for life at a time devoid of real values and connections. This could be the thing you have been looking for and it’s weird that this is the way you’re going to find it.
This talk will introduce you to the system that saved his life, continues to save his sanity and will work for anyone who is willing to commit to it.

Every day I hear story after story from patients and parents explaining how chiropractic wellness care has changed their life, and the immeasurable impact it has had on their entire family. Every day the results we get with chiropractic amaze even me, and I make it my mission as a Crystal Lake chiropractor to show up every day, dedicated to bringing Hope. Help. Answers. to as many families as I can.
Chiropractic discovered me all the way back in high school. I found myself on a job shadowing assignment and I stood in disbelief as I watched patient after patient come in and out. What amazed me was simple, they were all smiling.
That day I learned that there is a health care profession where not only is the doctor happy to be there, but the patients are too. I couldn’t believe my eyes, I met people who were excited to be going to the doctor and grateful to be there. Not only that, the doctor was even more thrilled to be doing what he was doing.
That was also the day that I made up my mind to become a chiropractor, no matter what it took. It was so radically different from everything else I had seen, that it amazed and attracted me. I was so hooked just on the vision of chiropractic that I was in my second year of pre-chiropractic studies before I ever even got my first adjustment! Man was I missing out!
I completed my pre-chiropractic studies at Iowa State University, before continuing onto the prestigious Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa, the birthplace of chiropractic. While there I was fortunate to have great academic and clinical success, and finished my studies early. Doing so, allowed me to move to another area and complete my clinical internship with a great family wellness and pediatric-focused office right here in the Chicagoland. Since getting my Doctor of Chiropractic degree, I have continued my education and am currently a Certified Pediatric Chiropractor and have my Wellness Certification. My passion for pediatric and family wellness has led me all over the world teaching other chiropractors about the way we care for our families at PWC Chiropractic.
While chiropractic in general is helpful in these cases, our expertise and level of specific neurologically-based care allows us to get the highest level of results in these areas, while maintaining incredible safety and satisfaction.
Our practice is very dedicated to caring for these challenging cases, but at the same time we continue to provide amazing results for all sorts of general pediatric and family conditions – colic/reflux, difficulty nursing, ear infections, chronic immune challenges, constipation, bed-wetting, and so much more. On top of all that, just about one third of our entire practice sees us on regular basis for wellness care – focused simply on staying healthy for life!

For over three decades, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. has been one of the world’s leading environmental advocates. He is the founder and president of Waterkeeper Alliance, the umbrella group for 300 local waterkeeper organizations, in 34 countries, that track down and sue polluters. Under his leadership, Waterkeeper has grown to become the world’s largest clean water advocacy organization.
Around 2005, parents of vaccine-injured children began encountering Mr. Kennedy’s speeches and writings about the toxic mercury-based preservative thimerosal. They embraced new hope that this environmental champion would finally expose the truth about vaccine injury and win justice for injured children. Kennedy is known for his fierce and relentless brand of environmental activism and his advocacy for transparent government and rigorous science. He is now applying his tenacious energies and sophisticated strategies to exposing the fraud and corruption within the CDC and the pharmaceutical industry. Last month, he launched his new non-profit, the Children’s Health Defense, with vaccine safety advocates Lyn Redwood and Laura Bono, legends themselves among parents of vaccine-injured children. Autism File executive editor Rita Shreffler spoke with Mr. Kennedy about CDC corruption, pharmaceutical industry greed, media malpractice, and his vision for the Children’s Health Defense.
Rita Shreffler: How did you first get involved in the autism/vaccine controversy?
Robert F. Kennedy: I was dragged kicking and screaming into this brawl. By the early 2000s, I was fighting multiple lawsuits on behalf of Riverkeeper and Waterkeeper against coal-fired power plants. I was touring the country speaking about, among other things, the dangers of mercury emissions, which, by then, had contaminated virtually every fresh water fish in America. Following many of these appearances, mothers would approach me. Their tone was always respectful but mildly scolding. They said that if I was serious about eliminating the perils of mercury, I needed to look at thimerosal. Vaccines, they claimed, were the biggest vector for mercury exposure in children. I really didn’t want to get involved because vaccines were pretty remote from my wheelhouse. I’d always been pro-vaccine. I had all my kids vaccinated and got my annual flu shot every year. But, I was impressed by these women. Many of them were professionals: doctors, lawyers, scientists, nurses and pharmacists. They were overwhelmingly solid, well-educated, extraordinarily well-informed, rational and persuasive.
