The U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced today that Clarcon Biological Chemistry Laboratory Inc. of Roy, Utah, is voluntarily recalling some skin sanitizers and skin protectants marketed under several different brand names because of high levels of disease-causing bacteria found in the product during a recent inspection. The FDA is warning consumers to not use any Clarcon products.

Consumers should not use any Clarcon products and should throw these products away in household refuse. Analyses of several samples of over-the-counter topical antimicrobial skin sanitizer and skin protectant products revealed high levels of various bacteria, including some associated with unsanitary conditions. Some of these bacteria can cause opportunistic infections of the skin and underlying tissues.  Such infections may need medical or surgical attention, and may result in permanent damage. Examples of products that should be discarded include:

–Citrushield Lotion

–Dermasentials DermaBarrier

–Dermassentials by Clarcon Antimicrobial Hand Sanitizer

–Iron Fist Barrier Hand Treatment

–Skin Shield Restaurant

–Skin Shield Industrial

–Skin Shield Beauty Salon Lotion

–Total Skin Care Beauty

–Total Skin Care Work

Findings from the FDA’s recent inspection of the Clarcon facility are particularly concerning because the products are promoted as antimicrobial agents that claim to treat open wounds, damaged skin, and protect against various infectious diseases.  The inspection uncovered serious deviations from FDA’s current Good Manufacturing Practice requirements.

Health care professionals and consumers may report serious adverse events (side effects) or product quality problems with the use of this product to the FDA’s MedWatch Adverse Event Reporting program either online, by regular mail, fax or phone.

Most people that walk through our front doors get some help or relief, but not everyone. Sometimes there is too much deterioration and the body is too weak to get better.  Working with the body is very inexact, but there are a few rules that do apply.

#1 The body will do the best it can with what it has.

Hummm, sounds like a good rule for life in general. If your day was tough, check this video out. If you get hurt and your diet isn’t filled with good clean vitamins, minerals, proteins, fats your body will still try and repair itself but in a weaker way because it doesn’t have enough building material.

I hate to say it, but this lady that I let go this morning eats out every day for lunch. Mass produced food it the lowest grade food on the market. It is stripped down in nutrition for storage and transportation. The human body is incredibly adaptable and can survive a long time eating out but it does progressively get weaker.

Injuries can take longer to heal, colds come on faster and stay longer, degenerative diseases, like arthritis appear and cause problems and the list can keep going.

#2 The longer you wait to get help, the more chronic a problem becomes.

Let’s say you get hurt. A little pain, nothing to bad. The body will adapt and “do the best it can” Pain goes away, cool. After a few more injuries the body will run out of the ability to adapt and the lingers a little longer, not cool. This is where we see 90% of our patients.

Most people who come in get some relief in a few weeks or even a few months. They may need to get a tune up every so often, but they live happy well adjusted lives. I’ve gotten adjusted every week for the last 15 years because I feel so much better afterwards.

The most dangerous words

“I thought it would go away”

If pains are lingering and not going away, the red flags should be going up. The longer you let problems exist, the more chronic they become. The more chronic, the more difficult they are to treat and the longer it takes. This lady was 85 years old and had never been to a chiropractor. Sometimes miracles happen, but we can’t count on them.

I remember the first time I had to tell a patient “I don’t think I can help you” She was 90 and her spine was literally falling apart. Since she didn’t have any other options, the medics had done all they could with her, I agreed to at least try. She was ready for anything, and she was willing to do anything to get some relief. She got her relief and with an adjustment every week and lived pain-free almost until she died. To her kids that meant a lot that she wasn’t in pain.

#3 Attitude means everything.

I have met some real sourpuss’s in my life and they rarely if ever get better, because they always need something to complain about. Watch the video at the top again. They say if we all had our problems represented by playing cards and we all showed our hands at the end of the game. Most of us would keep the cards we were dealt, rather than take someone elses.

If a happy positive attitude is not yours by nature, never fear it can be learned. You don’t need some magic happy pill. This is just a reframing of lifes experiences and how you percieve them and starting your day with good habits and filling it with good activities and good people.

Count your blessings.

I know this or that bad thing happened to you and there was nothing good about it. BULL, every dark cloud has a white lining and the sun shining behind it. A positive attitude in life can see the sun through the cloud. It may take you YEARS to see the sun, but every dark cloud that has rained on me has been somekind of blessing. I’ve had to get some big umbrellas, but the more I look at something bad as having a positive side the better I get at it.

Start your day with a smile on your face and looking forward to doing something you love that day. If that seems impossible then start looking for the answers to why you can’t do that. Maybe you need a new job, a new friend, a new counselor, a new menu, a new house, a new book to read. If you are crabby in the morning start looking for ways to fix it. Your body will thanks you.

Misery love company.

People don’t go to bars at 3:00 in the afternoon to talk about how great life is.
Like attracts like.
Fill your life with good people, and that may be tough, but it is critical for a good day and a healthy body. That may mean a new church, new friends, or even a new spouse. That may be dramatic but I have seen the healthy benefits in patients who needed to make the tough changes.

In summary, if you eat some good wholesome food, don’t wait for problems to become chronic, and have a good attitude about health and feeling good there is no stopping you from feeling good and being healthier.

Health is a daily activity. You can’t wait until your 80 to start thinking about being healthy.

Enjoy the day. If this helped you, send it on to people you care about.
