Resolve to stay healthy at Live Holistic
����������������������������������������
Dr. Vincent Adamo, chiropractor
of Live Holistic in Bay Ridge, asks:
“You have only one spine and nervous
system, so when was the last
time you got it checked?”
The doctor has been spending
a lot of time lately keeping the nervous
systems of our essential workers
in shape.
He has been adjusting the spines
of firefighters, police officers,
nurses, and so many others, taking
away their aches and pains - and in
the process - boasting their immune
systems.
“Nurses come in during their
breaks,” says Dr. Adamo. “They
need to stay healthy and strong.”
But it isn’t only the essential
workers who need to keep up with
their immune systems. We all need
to stay healthy, especially during
these challenging times, and it is
Dr. Adamo’s mission to teach people
how to reach optimal health.
It is a subject he has spent a lifetime
studying, traveling the world
to learn about it. Aside from chiropractic
care, he recommends vitamins
and supplements that will
boost the immune system and keep
illnesses away. His practice supplies
these top-quality products because
good nutrition is an essential component
to good health.
Live Holistic has been in business
for a decade, and has an outstanding
reputation for helping so
many people overcome personal
pain and hardship.
“You have to invest in your
health,” says Dr. Adamo. It requires
a commitment – but the rewards are
well worth it.

Brooklynites lined the streets on
Jan. 11 outside vaccine distribution
centers, including Bushwick High
School, where individuals outside
the healthcare field could receive the
COVID-19 vaccine for the first time.
Jan. 11 marked another historic day
in the fight against the novel coronavirus,
ushering in the Phase 1B dispersal
of the vaccine, nearly a month
after the shot was made available to
high-priority healthcare workers and
nursing home residents and staff.
Throughout the tristate area, NYC
COVID-19 vaccine hubs opened their
doors to those in Phase 1B priority
Monday. These inoculation sites aim
to serve thousands of eligible patients
who fall under the following categories:
People ages 75 and older, teachers,
education staff, first responders,
public safety employees, public transit
workers, grocery workers, fire service,
police and investigations, public
safety, corrections, schools, child care,
and homeless shelters.
At the Bushwick Campus on Irving
Avenue, lines were broken up into
two sections in order to prevent a sea
of people from clustering around the
block. Wait times were amended for
the elderly over 75 and those with disabilities,
allowing the vulnerable to skip
the wait.
Reminiscent of the early voter lines
the city saw in October and November,
the winding Bushwick vaccine hub
lines may have been long, but spirits
were high. Many left the campus
breathing a sigh of relief — the vaccine
had finally been administered.
Elderly couples like Bill and Lucy
Friedman made sure to bundle up in
preparation for long wait times. Due to
their age they were swiftly inoculated.
“I got it because I want to live, and I
want everyone to get out of lockdown
and end the problems we are facing
while fighting the pandemic,” Bill
Friedman said.
The couple, both aged 77, trekked
from Manhattan to their early morning
appointment at the Bushwick
Campus with aid from their son, who
registered them online. A man receives the COVID-19 vaccine at Bushwick High Schoo on Jan. 11l. Photo by Dean Moses
