Why don't we ever entertain that
thought? Does it seem ludicrously irresponsible? Scientists already
predict great health discoveries that are transforming quality of
life. So, how's your quality of life?
If you knew you were giving your body
exactly what it needed, would you have the confidence to say, I no
longer need to keep taking these tests? Because the real issue here
is confidence. Do you have enough confidence in your own life's
direction that you could skip the screenings for at least five
years?
It's no sweat when you're young and
carefree. All your tests come out normal. But health doesn't run on
autopilot. Eventually the numbers creep into caution territory. What
a way to destroy someone's self image. People feel horribly about
themselves and then fear takes over.
Why would my body do this to me? I have
asked that question myself in the past when dealing with a health
issue. And negative feelings don't seem to contribute to the healing
process.
We already know what causes poor
health. We know what makes the body invite disease. Therefore, we
should already know what makes the body thrive. Here comes that
confidence factor again.
The majority of diseases have
environmental causes. What happens to your internal and external
environments impacts health. And we have a great deal of control over
our internal and external environments.
As a chiropractor, the most important
job I do is help the body self-regulate so it can handle stress
appropriately. Once the spine is too burdened to support the body, it
burdens the nervous system. This results in body breakdown down due
to loss of communication.
Here's the kicker: People feel death
like decades before the nervous system actual deactivates the heart
or brain. There is no state of confidence when people keep bouncing
back and forth through the stress layers of aggravation, disruption,
and unbearable.
Wellness is a state of confidence. I
call everything else lost in the layers. They are the layers of
stress that weigh us down when we let our environments get out of
control. We must work on regaining confidence.
Chiropractic care contributes to better
health. Studies have shown it improves blood pressure and heart rate
variability. It is also shown to help endocrine and immune system
disorders. Interestingly, significant positive outcomes are seen with
Crohn's disease, Parkinson's and Multiple Sclerosis.
Chiropractic's most unique benefit is
that it unravels the build up of stress that has short circuited the
nervous system. Remember, no nervous system means no life.
Blood pressure and blood sugar are
small brush strokes on the painting of health, but they especially
indicate the resilience of the nervous system. You can use this
information to take control of your environment. You can use
chiropractic to regain confidence that your body is a marvelous
creation.
