Each of us has one or more causes that
we believe in and support. We make donations to charities, we write
letters to newspapers or legislators and we march to raise awareness.
Many career choices are impacted by the desire to help others.
Early on I discovered psychology. I was
interested in self growth and human achievement. I graduated with a
teaching degree then delved into counseling because of the natural
progression of early development to mental health. So why then did I
detour into chiropractic? They may seem unrelated but each discipline
is inspired by the fathomless workings of the amazing brain.
I am devoted to the cause of wellness,
since the body is a genuine resource that houses the generation of
ideas, inventions, and compassion. I chose to study the crucial yet
mysterious brain.
It is so mysterious that we hardly
emphasize brain health as an essential part of disease prevention.
While neurology is uncovering new information about the wonders of
the brain, we can also look at chiropractic as neurology's long lost
twin brother.
In the last few decades a better
understanding of the brain reward cascade has shown that
neuro-chemical communication within the body occurs at the limbic
system within the brain but also extends into the spine.
Limbic system cells are located at
every level of the spinal cord where signals are then sent to the
body's T cells which are the front lines of the immune system. Brain
researchers have also determined that the greatest amount of brain
and limbic system interference can occur at the spinal cord.
In the overall picture of disease
formation the immune system fails in some way as it loses proper
communication with the spinal cord. All diseases have a neurological
fault that eventually develops into an autoimmune disorder such as
diabetes, heart disease, and Alzheimers.
This also includes diseases caused by
viruses and bacteria when the immune system no longer responds
appropriately. Cancer is now considered to be an extreme form of an
autoimmune disorder.
Most of the public thinks a spinal
problem is merely a mechanical dislocation that can be popped into
place. Science has discovered that cell damage resulting in poor
cellular communication is really what happens at spinal joints.
Chiropractic studies show that spinal
adjustments improve communication that has gone wrong. Chiropractic
studies demonstrate significant DNA repair activity when participants
receive ongoing chiropractic care. EEG studies of the brain measure
healthier brain wave patterns immediately after a chiropractic
adjustment.
This information is too important to
leave on the library shelf. Every person needs to know how their body
works. If you know how it works, you then know how to protect it.
People struggling with poor health lose
their confidence and independence. Statistics are scary but they are
not set in stone. It is my mission to show people that they can
change their health. Can I help you see that you are a cause worth
fighting for?
