The Wounded Life

We tend to hide behind clinical labels and it robs you of great personal transformation. 

When we're born we are fresh in the world.  A clean slate, so to speak. As we grow, reach milestones and develop our personalities, we slowly get wound up.   Imagine a new string wrapping around you.  

Each new experience wraps a new string, you become an expanding ball of yarn.  But sometimes the experience is tense, unnerving, or traumatic. What if these events tighten the ball of yarn?

As the nervous system responds with fight or flight reactions, the yarn is tightly wound. 

As you discover you have abilities to achieve something, create something, be a part of something that brings you pride or excitement the ball of yarn loosens. 

Life is a repetitious cycle of tightening and loosening.

You can be a soft ball of yarn that is flexible.  Or, you can be so wound up that you bounce hard and end up lost, far away from everything that matters to you. 

So, this is just a simple metaphor that might have meaning to you.  Sometimes all the clinical language in health care bars you from making any progress. 

In the chiropractic world, a compressed spine keeps you in a chronic state of tightness.  When your body has inflexibility your access to the world is limited  Your belief system will also suffer inflexibility because your brain can no longer see options.  Inwardly you lose faith in yourself.  We want to prevent that. 

I became a chiropractor because it brings freedom back to people.  It empowers the nervous system to give you back your energy. This is healing energy that rebuilds you.  

We tend to hide behind clinical labels and it robs you of great personal transformation. Your back pain has inflammation so we are told to fight the inflammation with an ibuprofen, turmeric or a plant based diet.  The tension does not come from inflammation.  So, "fighting" inflammation isn't going to solve the problem.  

Addressing the inflexibility in your life is the deeper, more rewarding approach. 

A life of stress is an energy thief.  It should ebb and flow.  When energy is spent, it is paid back.  

Why get adjusted?  Your body will change when your brain experiences a change.  The adjustment changes the state of the nervous system from fight or flight to strong and confident.   The adjustment changes the state of your mind, giving you the confidence that expands your world, making you powerful participant in the world. 

Here's the book that goes along with this theme: You Don't Have a Disease You Have a Nervous System

A Better Way to Explain Your Pain

Where do you feel weighed down in your life?  _?_ And where is it stored in your body?    __?__

People typically speak about back pain, neck pain, headaches, allergies, fatigue, anxiety, dizziness, IBS... and more ....

This is the focus of  Fight or Flight School. 

Fight or Flight School Starts May 9, 2026              In the Office      (10 A.M. - 11 A.M.)   Please R.S.V.P.

I haven't done any in-office classes since last spring.   Life got busy. 

But this is an important topic that I can't  teach during a session on the adjusting table. 

The adjustment is the adjustment. But we need to come to the table with the proper priming.  What is your reason for seeing a chiropractor?  How can you plan for your chiropractic adjustment ahead of time?  

This is why I have a new-member orientation video.  This is why your first visit takes 2 hours.   And for all my regulars, it is important they take a refresher course every so often.   And I also have to refresh my chiropractic mission every so often, which means I will be updating the video in the near future.  I see things I want to improve.

What you bring to the chiropractic table is important: Your BRAIN and your SPINE. Because everyday is different, stress levels are different, we have to approach the adjustment that is about to take place aware of the present, but also inspired about the future. 

Last year I called the class: Body Language Declassified.  I want my folks to take a body language switch away from disease (negative) to vitality (positive).  All body responses are productive.  They are supportive.  They are not mistakes.  I this changes your entire perspective and gives you more resilience. Last year I talked about the contradictions in medical definitions that keep us stuck. 

My chiropractic education is full of these contradictions, and I decided to reframe them.  Also, I feel as if the most important information about our health has been hidden from us -- redacted. 

Chiropractic was founded on liberation & empowerment.  It took away the fear. But fear is still bombarded upon us, everywhere.  

My time in chiropractic college was heavy fear bombardment.  The disease model was emphasized and actually cut-down / insulted the benefits of chirpractic care.  I had such trouble dealing with the two-faced personality.

I don't want to make that part of my life the focus of the class, but it certainly shaped my chiropractic years. (26 years since graduating July 2000 !!)

This class will introduce the Brain Budget Protocol and how it offers you a different way to view your pain, and a different way to take care of yourself, and a different way to live. 

 A different way to live means something different to each of us. I hope to offer you a huge sigh of relief, peeling off years of unecessary stress that has weighed you down. 

Where do you feel weighed down in your life and where is it stored in your body?  People typically speak about back pain, neck pain, headahes, allergies, fatigue, anxiety, dizziness, IBS.  This is the focus of  Fight or Flight School.

Bring your questions.  R.S.V.P.   See you there.

Chiropractic is the Gift - It Matters How the Chiropractor Wraps it and Presents it to You

 

Have you ever opened a gift, looked at it and said, "What am I supposed to with this?"

When I learned about  chiropractic, I felt it was an unbelievable shame that I hadn't heard about it until I was nearly 30 years old. 

Especially as a mental health therapist watching my clients suffer unfairly in a in a system that gaslights its patients. 

If you read my watched my New Member Orientation Video or read my book, You Don't Have a Disease - You Have a Nervous System,  I described feeling helpless watching people "fall through the cracks." 

If mental health counseling couldn't help  my clients, and medical care couldn't help my clients, what was left?  The answer: chiropractic. 

But, it requires you to look at yourself differently.  Your health needs to be defined differently.  The naturally biology run by your innate intelligence needs to be honored properly.  If not, you're using a valuable tool  the wrong way, which leaves you frustrated and demoralized.  Using a can opener like a hammer leaves you frustrated. 

We use chiropractic the wrong way and it is an unappreciated gift.  A misunderstood gift. 

My goal is to be the educator that inspires you.  

My biggest pet-peeve in the culture of health is disease language.  You're never seen as a "well" person.  You're body is treated as if it's an alien pod about to erupt like a volcano.  You're one screening test away from a detrimental diagnosis. 

You are not a broken engine that needs an overhaul. You are a diamond that needs to be polished.  

Which example makes you feel special?  

Because you are special. 

Hopefully I can convey that to you because the body is always self-preserving.  What you're feeling is not a  mistake or malfunction. It is a modification of your body systems supporting your survival. 

 When we're not "feeling right" it does not mean "something is wrong." Yes, we can influence our body by our choices.  But I don't want you to make decisions on a misinterpretation of body responses.   The brain senses a need and delegates commands to each body system.  We want to partner with this process.

I go into more detail with the Brain Budget Protocol.  It is my 4-Step System that enhances your chiropractic care.

Your spine is a Fight or Flight Switchboard.   

We flip the switches on your spine because an over-exaggerated Fight or Flight response is a terrible energy crisis.  And we don't need disease names to get us off track.  Replenishment through chiropractic care and the Brain Budget Protocol provides you the opportunity to maintain your vitality without unnecessary fear.

PART 2 Read Here

Dr. Patrick Kingsley, who passed away in 2016 at the age of 78, wrote extensively about his experiences as a medical doctor.  In 25 years of practice he never needed to write a prescription for a drug.  This was most intriguing to me.  But, the disappointment is that finding his written works isn't that easy.  The link to his website is "dead," meaning no one is paying for the domain to continue.  As it will end up, we may lose many great written works from dead doctors. 

I suppose I can look for used books.  This may take time, especially when he was not in the U.S.A. 

We are fortunate however to have access to a large number of low priced E-books on Amazon.   Hopefully they don't get buried.

We're Not Done Yet

 

We're not done yet.  We're not healthy and we're not living our best lives.   Part of the problem is we've stopped pursuing life with a higher vision.  We are too passive and comfortable with decades of quiet patience.  We stopped believing we can expand our talents. 

We're not done yet at all when it comes to our quality of life, and the quality of our thoughts!!!! 

1- Medical care is still dangerous and inhumane. 

2- Chiropractic is watered down and overlooked. 

In my grandmother's last years I watched her being over-drugged and now that I am getting up there in age the population is disgustingly held hostage by pharmaceuticals.  

I wrote in my book, You Don't Have a Disease You Have a Nervous System that I noticed how meek people have become over two decades of private practice.  As I get closer to thirty years in practice, it's downright demoralizing. This meekness actually makes you sicker and unable to make reasonable decisions. 

People are more cautious picking out a college, a house, or car, but decisions regarding their health are counter-intuitive, based on fear and misplaced allegiance. 

Let's tackle one issue right here: Why is medical care dangerous?  Well, we call it standardized.  And that's the problem.  People think standardized means it's undergone intense scrutiny.  But the other side of the coin is that there is no other side.  

Alternatives, second opinions, and the option of doing nothing are no longer part of the conversations. When there is a monopoly, we are short changed, and most likely being treated dishonestly.  Considering there has been an uptick in fraudulent research, it's important to ask good questions. 

Doctors offering second opinions are censored, or fired.  Some doctors have acknowledged that once you are hospitalized you are a ward of a state with very little freedom of choice while you are incarcerated----I mean, an inpatient.   This is not a secret.  However, if you look for generic internet information, this is  downplayed as dissatisfaction due to poor communication between patient and health care professionals. 

With the government running health care and forcing everyone to obtain Medicare by the age of 65, you are very limited.  (Non-Medicare insurance for seniors was outlawed.... I take that as a warning.)

Because of this standardization, chiropractic is also hindered.  The brain benefits of regular chiropractic care are only recorded in the laboratory, not in chiropractic offices all over the world.  Blame this on the biggest deception taught: chiropractic is only a treatment for spinal conditions. This deception has allowed a massive deprivation from a simple, non-invasive, life enhancing opportunity for infants, children, and adults. 

If you have a spinal concern, chiropractic is very beneficial.  This is because a chiropractic adjustment resets the entire body, not just the mechanics of the joints.  

But, chiropractic has been watered down.  People have already limited themselves before they make the phone call for their first appointment.  

Once I get to meet them face to face, the first goal is to chip away at the self-imposed limitations they've already put in their minds about self-healing and disease.  (Self-healing, and disease are two terrible words in our health language. So, this is step one.  Get with me and I'll give my reasons.) 

Here are some simple steps to help you re-frame your view of your own vitality and the how you can influence your present and future health. 

1- Read my book.  Amazon Click Here

2- Read my Blog Series: Doctors Who've Jumped Ship

3- Be on the lookout for my series: Retired Doctors Tell the Truth, Dead Doctors Get Buried.

4- Watch my New Member Orientation Video and make an appointment to come in to my office. 

P.S. I still have an optimistic attitude.  I will always adjust people's spine and help them ignite their innate energies so they can join me on this great journey.  

The spine is a lifeline, your fight or flight (survival) switchboard. All life is energy distribution.  Learn how you have a great deal of power over your own internal energy.  If this sounds like mumbo-jumbo....you're in for a treat.
