Half Healthy is Half Sick

Half a Solution Is Still Half a Problem

Does your health care feel like unfinished business?

Time to put together a “whole approach.”

How has unfinished business affected you?

Emergency Medicine →	Too Late It doesn't have to be too late. Tissue damage is considerable when an emergency intervention is needed. But we can change that trend.
Annual Screenings →	Epic Fail Researchers have said screenings do not change outcomes, but make profit for hospitals. How can you have true confidence that you are doing the right things for your future?
Maintenance Drugs →	Miserable Decline There is no medicine that restores health. Maintenance drugs do not rebuild failing tissues. We need to step back and ask why tissue does failure begins.
Surgery →	Extreme Risks Why do you sign all those disclosure forms? Because unfavorable outcomes are high. Failed back surgery syndrome has it's own insurance code. Back surgeries have an 85% fail rate. And that's only one example.
Traditional Offices →	Condescending Doctors know they are limited by the bureaucracy of medicine. You have to wonder how severe is your doctor's state of demoralization. Doctors commit suicide at double the rate of the rest of the population. Invite them to join you on this healing journey.

We have an overburdened health care system that helps you get somewhat better, but you fall through the cracks.

Q. Why?

A. 1- No one makes the time to give you what you really need.

2- What you really need cannot be patented or profited but it's still worthwhile.

3- What you really need comes from YOU with a little bit of education and coaching. I know your story. I lived it. --Dr. Lisa

You may be younger than you think. Researcher Dr. John Frisen is now looking at the age of different tissue types in the human body and finding out how old they are. Many tissues and cells have a constant turnover rate but that rate seems to vary greatly from body part to body part with some parts not renewing at all.  Based on the average human tissue renewal our bodies may only be 10-15 years old.

For example, cells from rib muscles in an individual in their late 30’s was shown to be an average of 15.1 years old. Cells lining your gut were found to be only days old but the deeper cells were found to be 15.9 years old.

Cornea of Eye 24 hours

Villi of Intestines 2-3 days

Lining Stomach 5 days

Taste Buds 10 days

Lining Lungs 14-21 days

Outer Skin/Epidermis 14-28 days

Deeper Skin 90 days

Red Blood Cells 120 days

Liver 300-500 days

Alveoli of Lungs 365 days

Bones 10 years

Rib Muscles 15.1 years

Deeper Gut 15.9 years

Most of Brain and Eyes Same as your birth age

Not Found to Renew: Cerebral Cortex, Inner lens of the eye.

Cells in most parts of the brain and spinal cord are found to be aged very similar to the age of the individual because these cells do not often regenerate. We are born with 100 billion cells in our brain and most do not regenerate or renew.

The importance of protecting and taking care of your spine and nervous system with regular chiropractic care is essential to keep these cells and your body healthy. Having a clear connection from the brain cells to the tissue cells is essential for optimal renewal and healing of your body. With regular chiropractic care your nervous system works to health tissues more efficiently.

Another way to look at it is to realize that healing takes time. Do not expect body parts to be renewed the next day if they really take 15 years to renew. All you can do is give your body an optimally functioning, clear nervous system, time to heal and do all that is necessary to foster that healing.

Researchers are trying to find methods to heal nervous system damage with stem cell injections and antibodies from the outside in but are finding it very challenging.

Spring Time, Chiropractic and New Patterns of Healing

I noticed in the last few months that people have been sick longer and not healing in the usual time. I don't want this to become a downward pattern for folks. And especially if you have been in the hospital recently, you need to visit a chiropractor.

This is because the weakness that was in the body prior to the illness or breakdown was gaining steam for a long time. The imprint is still there in the nervous system after the doctor sends you home. The body has a memory of weak patterns that we prefer would not be repeated.

A Rand study was done a number of years ago that showed elderly people older than 75 who received regular chiropractic care had better health and spent less days in a hospital compared to their non-chiropractic counterparts.

Everyone at every age can benefit from this. The payoff from prevention is well-stated. It can be an uphill climb for some with chronic pain and dysfunction, but there is light at the end of the tunnel. We just need to plug away at it no matter how difficult it seems to begin.

Stress never takes a day off, not for one minute. We need to have a plan in place to counteract it. While stressful events rewire the body to repeat weak patterns, we can instill stronger patterns with chiropractic.

I tell people to never underestimate the healing power of the body, but we need to prune those nerve branches with adjustments to the spine. Chiropractic provides a unique way to extinguish negative patterns and reinforce the positive patterns needed for healing and homeostasis.

The most frustrating conversations I have are with people who are suffering greatly, yet think they already know what chiropractic can or cannot do for them. They are stuck in some negative patterns.

I also see the frustrations others have when they have been doctor-shopping, looking for the right treatment. One size does not fit all, and many of us still believe there is a magic formula. Formulas only work in algebra. Health-building requires you to become well-acquainted with yourself.

I don't want the long, dark winter to turn into a cold, disappointing spring. It is time to wake up and feel renewal. If you have been sick, I invite you to take advantage of the rebuilding aspect of chiropractic. If you are ready to stretch your wings and challenge yourself to be a better person, chiropractic is there to open doors for you.

I, too, want to wake up to a fruitful spring and have to admit, I am tired of the old clinical talk that has been drilled into me. Diagnosis and symptoms don't get people excited about life. I am weary of helping people get over one pain and watch them stumble into the next.

Chiropractic is not about dwelling on pain. It is about striving to make your mark in the world. We use chiropractic to give us the energy to accomplish more and help others. Who's ready?

I Am Horrified that People Are Sick Due to Poor Information

My recent article in the Citizen.  

As always,

---See you at the table....the chiropractic table.

--Dr. Lisa

--Your Health Freedom Advocate

Social media online can be very useful. Folks do their own research as they shop for a product. I use it to converse with other chiropractors who have similar interests. 

One of my colleagues was not too pleased to have a commenter leave numerous unproductive remarks on her discussion page. She was planning on banning the person from the forum but wondered if it would be more productive to engage the person and perhaps provide some education.

This repeat offender made the remark that offering chiropractic to babies was horrifying. Now, to us chiropractors who have been adjusting babies our entire careers, we are saddened to face such an attitude that shuts people off from the powerful life changes we constantly witness in our offices.

I’ve been adjusting my son since he was four days old. He’s been adjusted when he was sick, when he was well, and after many falls and injuries that children endure. He has also been adjusted by other chiropractors.

Children have spines, just like adults, and adjusting them is not that different. In fact, they are much easier. Getting them to sit still to assess their spines is probably the most challenging. 

For something that is very natural to us, we forget that other people have yet to comprehend such an idea. So, pretend you are a chiropractor for a moment and see the world through our eyes.

Most people don’t watch chiropractors give adjustments because the health care norm is to place people in a private room for a consultation and treatment. The learning atmosphere was much different in the group settings of chiropractic college. Similar to gatherings at healing retreats and seminars, there is an inspiring intent shared by the participants.

It is this excitement that brings chiropractic alive as it is used to enliven.  And watching children get adjusted conveys that beauty. They don’t question it. They don’t obsess over symptoms or make comparisons to someone else’s ideal of wellness. Once they get adjusted they instinctively know it was something special.

In the same manner that we lose our childlike curiosity and creativity as we grow up, we starve ourselves from our natural state of well being. We can’t live the carefree life of childhood but we have the opportunity to remain as connected as possible to the innate energy that guides us through healing, feeling, thinking and learning.

What allows you to make an impact in the world? It takes a lot of desire, dreaming, and elbow grease. We develop these traits as our whole being absorbs life around us.  The brain, body, and emotional spirit rely on the intricate connection of nerves and electrical impulses. How nerve impulses travel through the body shapes how a person lives, achieves, and cares. 

Is it horrifying to give a child or an adult the best chance to be alive? I hope not because that is the main objective I have for everyone I meet in the office.  If you think chiropractic can’t be more than a limited clinical tool, I invite you to step into my world.  

We Take Better Care of Our Cars

Yahoo female chiropractor auburn, ny 13021 **
Chiropractic teaches us how the body works so we can take better care of ourselves.  Cars, on the other hand are different.  Cars break down.  If a replacement part can do the trick, we can replace a part.  But a car does not regenerate the way our bodies can. 

Because of this we take better care of our cars than we do our own bodies.  We are a bit spoiled because we have a great capacity to self heal.  

Here's the downside.  We can neglect our health for quite a while before we notice the negative ramifications.  

Another downside is once the problem is noticeable, it can't be healed to its original state.  Whether it is spinal disc damage, heart muscle damage, diabetic neuropathy, the best defense is a good offense.

Chiropractic improves the structure of the spine so the healing energy that flows through the spine can be received by the rest of the body.  

My goal as a chiropractor is to allow your body to accept healing.
Because healing is not always there or it is not well received.

Chiropractic: Where the Body & Soul Come Together

[Yahoo chiropractor auburn, ny 13021]
Chiropractic adjustments nourish the soul and balance emotions? I am a big believer that emotional stress and over-analytical thinking is damaging to health.  Heavy thoughts make it harder for the body to refresh.  The body is robbed of energy that would be better used for healing.  We live in a stressful world, but we don't need to let stress have the upper hand.

When I wrote December's article for the Citizen, the Sandy Hook shootings had just occurred and it caused painful grief to most of us who don't think like perpetrators.  Where does this kind of illness begin?  A great deal festers when someone lacks meaningful human contact.  There are other physical issues with brain development and chemical irritants, but we all need love, encouragement, and a basic moral code to live by.

In my office, I will always offer chiropractic as an opportunity for human connection, warmth, and a launching pad for anyone who wants to think differently about their outlook on life.
We are Mind*Spine*Intelligent Design.
Enjoy the article. And Happy New Year.

Chiropractic and Relationships

(Auburn, NY Chiropractor 13021)
Be a part of the connection.

Welcome to chiropractic where relationships are nurtured for their brilliance.

The power of touch is shared and spread around the world.  It can  reduce much of the world's suffering.  
It all starts with relationships powering relationships. 

 Chiropractic is the fuel.

Multiple relationships are in action:

1. The brain powers the body with nerve energy.

2. The spinal cord as an extension of the brain, shares the energy and sends responses back to the brain.

3. Movement and function are related. 

4. Healing needs movement and movement needs healing.

5. Hands adjusting the  spine ignites the valuable relationship between the physical nervous system and the non-physical nervous system.

6. The adjustment's goals cannot be achieved without the teamwork approach of the chiropractor and the person receiving the adjustment.

7. A shared belief in the healing process helps expand the health of the world.  

Remember the movie, Pay it Forward?

One person  influences another and each one does the same.

If chiropractic changes the way you make your mark on the world, all the folks you come into contact with are blessed by your talents.  Let them know how chiropractic  can do the same for them. 

While some in the  world look at chiropractic under a critical microscope, calling it unscientific,  complaining that our current understanding of physiology still cannot explain its wonderful process, attributing its success to the placebo effect or calling it just a frivolous waste of money, we don't have to deny ourselves the gift it adds to our own lives.  

Remember, each person is a gift.

Chiropractic is a gift.

We can do great things together.

I'm Not Getting Better

You've tried many different things to feel better. You are healing from an injury and it seems to be taking too long this time. You have nagging little health issues that you tolerate, but they just don't go away.

Let's look at things a little differently.

1. You've tried many things to feel better.
Different view: Something else in your life repeatedly overpowers your attempts keeping you from feeling better.

2. You are healing from an injury and it seems to be taking longer this time.
Different view: More attention is needed now than what was adequate in the past.

3. Nagging health issues just aren't going away.
Different view: They are sticking around for a reason, because something else is sticking around.

Your Body Speaks to You in Interesting Ways
Often we are clueless because we just wish the answers were obvious. Why doesn't my body speak the language of me? Because it can only speak the language of cause and effect with a little nervous system thrown in.

Keep in mind the 3 causes of poor health.

1. Chemical stress
2. Mechanical stress
3. Emotional/Mental stress

Chemical
This includes deficiencies and intoxication. Nutritional deficiencies arise out of poor diet, relying on just food for nutrients, as well as medication effects. Intoxication is not just over- imbibing in caffeine, nicotine, and alcohol. It also includes medications, illegal drugs, and the body's poor ability to detoxify on its own. Chemical stress doesn't allow us to heal properly.

Mechanical
Vulnerable mechanics is due to poor balance, under conditioned muscles, being overweight, lack of sleep, poor posture during activities, repetitive strain, and lack of "conditioning exercise".(I say conditioning exercise because people perform a great deal of exercise that is inefficient and ineffective out of habit.)

Emotional/Mental
Life issues change all the time. We have good days and we have bad days. They tire us out and weaken the immune system. If you have a "worry-trigger." It will get you more often than other issues that don't bother you. If you had an injury or illness look back at the last two weeks and see if a "worry trigger" popped up in your life.

Now re-evaluate your situation and your actions. Look at yourself as if you are watching a movie on TV. What things do you notice are getting in the way of your health? What things are you missing?

The Junk Footprint

In Tuesday's Citizen:

In last month’s article I covered some of the reasons why chiropractic doesn’t always work. For this article I will describe what makes chiropractic work so well. The simple truth is the body will always strive toward healing and restoration when given the chance.

Chiropractic assists the body by clearing out the “junk footprints” that get in the way of normal function of organs and organ systems. We know about junk food, junk email, and junkyards. Junk is a term used to describe anything that is waste, useless, or trash.

Junk accumulation starts the body on a downward degenerative path. We can categorize junk into three types: mechanical junk, chemical junk, and emotional junk. We can stop the junk with improved lifestyle habits, however the “junk footprints” still persist causing harm.

When we expose the body to junk it is like getting kicked in the spine. A “junk footprint” remains. My dad put my footprint in a freshly cemented step when I was two years old. Over time that cute little indentation of my foot took on water, snow, ice and dust particles. Erosion eventually reshaped the step making it unsafe and requiring repair.

A similar process takes place when junk footprints remain in the spine. The delivery of information through the brain, spinal cord and nerves are changed. The body’s future responses will become inappropriately hyperactive or underactive.

This is why people injured in car accidents still have pain long after the initial swelling of whiplash has gone down. This is also why people have digestive discomfort even though they have improved their eating habits. Anxiety attacks and depression can occur because minor stressors connected to past memories can be extraordinarily reinforced by the nervous system.

Take the saying, “Garbage in, garbage out.” It describes a nervous system that has learned negative patterns from repeated junk exposures. For people in back pain who just want to feel better, this explanation may not be interesting. However, it shows why similar people of the same age can have very different states of health.
Chiropractic works by untangling nervous system networks that have gone bad. The adjustment introduces a force into the spine and modifies body responses. Healing becomes more efficient as junk footprints are reduced.

It takes time for the body to heal so it makes sense to help chiropractic work better by avoiding unhealthy habits. People who reduce stress on the body through diet, supplementation, and exercise will notice faster results from their chiropractic care.

Progress is also greatly impacted by mental stress. Patients who demonstrate an inability to commit to their care by blaming work, personal obligations, and time constraints are waving red flags that indicate they will continue to create junk footprints.

Ultimately, chiropractic can make it easier to incorporate healthier changes into lifestyle. The relaxation response, endorphin release, and more normalized brain activity resulting from each chiropractic adjustment will help people feel more inclined to stick with better health habits.

Chiropractic Never Works

This is my latest article in the Citizen:

Every so often I come across someone who says, “Chiropractic didn’t work for me.” I wonder if that person tried to use a hamster cage as a fish bowl.

I have a sign posted in my office that says I sell hamster cages but I can’t make them work like fish bowls. This is a humorous way to convey that assumptions about chiropractic need to be corrected so a person isn’t disappointed by unmet expectations.

The truth is chiropractic doesn’t work at all. Chiropractic is applied to the body, but it is the body that works. Under appropriate conditions the body works at healing. Saying chiropractic didn’t work is code for “I didn’t get the results I wanted.”

In the past I’ve tried to iron clothing over a light bulb. (Remember the round ones, not the newer spiral kind.) I read in a magazine that a light bulb can be used when there is no time to drag out the ironing board and iron. It doesn’t do a good job. Ironing and healing have this in common: there are no shortcuts.

When in pain, people want to be rid of it quickly. I empathize. It’s human nature. I know many folks who watched their friends get fast relief from chiropractic. When it was their turn they did not have the same results.

Chiropractic works like jumper cables giving the body a boost. Instead of attaching cables to battery terminals, a chiropractor applies his hands to the spine. If the car or battery needs multiple repairs, the jump is futile.

The nervous system and the body are analogous to the battery and the car. The good news is the body heals. Cars just end up in the junk yard. There are many ways we can make chiropractic care more impactful so healing is optimized.

When an injury occurs, time is always a requirement. Some people need less time. For others it may take longer to heal because of underlying reasons such as nutritional deficiencies affecting organ systems, inadequate rest, and older spinal misalignments that slow down nerve transmission.

There are times when someone feels worse after a chiropractic adjustment. This is usually due to tight muscles that are toxic from drugs, inadequate diet, and poor postural habits. Chiropractors provide nutritional and lifestyle guidance throughout care to assist the healing process and prevent future injuries.

Chiropractic adjustments work by sending signals to the brain so it releases neurotransmitters for relaxation and initiating the body’s repair activity. Accumulated effects of old injuries and other stresses can stall the body’s healing response.

When someone says chiropractic didn’t work, it is not time to give up but time to investigate what else is getting in the way of healing. Chiropractic can help a person realize other health concerns need addressing.

The fish bowl analogy is a reminder that pain relief is not the first goal. Chiropractic teaches us how to work through pain in a way that is strengthening rather than weakening.

Teach Yourself New Tricks

Patternology

Patternology is the best word to describe chiropractic.

People have their own notions of chiropractic.

I had no notions when I first researched chiropractic as a career change. I wasn't looking for pain relief, but I was looking for a better way for people to open up their world. And it all comes down to patterns.

We are bright thinking people. We have invented great technology. We sent scientists to the moon. But we are very simple. We run on patterns-- the neurological patterns memorized in the brain and spinal cord.

Are you getting adjusted because you are in pain?
Nope-you really have a negative pattern that if continued would develop into a degenerative disease through the inflammation response.

Got that?

So, you fell down. You got bruised. You were sore for a while and then you felt better. What you didn't notice was the shift in the spine that changed the subtle transmission of nerve energy so the next stressor that comes along responds differently. Most of our stressors are emotional or chemical (diet/toxins).

Your body adapts and these adaptations change your healing patterns.

Chiropractors like to use the term subluxation. Sub means less. Lux means life.
A subluxation is an altered state of the nervous system where organ and motor function meet at the spinal complex.

Basically, the patterns have been changed as the body adapts to stress. But we don't want to adapt so stress takes over. We want to body to defend itself and remain strong.

The first thing you need to do is interrupt the pattern and rewire your brain's defense response. Chiropractic does this with adjustments.

You support your adjustments with nutrition, detoxification, exercise, rest and stress management.

We can live our Best Life Always or we can just put out fires.

Enlighten Your Cells

Have you subscribed yet with the new feed link?


Last week we had great discussions during DNA Adjusting sessions. One member reminded us that cells have memory.

Here is a link from a practitioner in Australia that explains it quite eloquently: Cellular Healing.

With our work on mind-body synchronicity, we can have a positive impact on our health. We can enlighten our cells by delivering a feeling of appreciation deep into our body because we are grateful and delighted to have such an intense innate intelligence taking care of us.

Your chiropractic adjustment gives your body that special "nudge" that allows this positive energy to take off and reach your cells!!

We've mentioned before that there are emotional footprints left behind every subluxation. Chiropractic releases these along with the subluxations during the adjustment.

We will continue to Enlighten our Cells at every DNA Adjusting Session.


Here's another great resource to share with you. I have a link here for an interview with the author of The Genie in Your Genes. No, I didn't interview him, but it is great example of the seemingly subtle but truly not energy processes that are so intricately connected between the mind and body.
...........................................................................................
What does chiropractic have to do with your DNA?

We develop weaknesses in the spine, called subluxations, that negatively change how the nervous system works. We store subluxations in our body because of incomplete or poor healing due to our stressful environment and life-style. Because the nervous system correlates all functions of the body, that includes how well DNA functions and replicates. Chiropractic adjustments release subluxations from the body while chiropractors teach how to assist the body with other healthy behaviors.

Chiropractic research has shown that people who receive regular chiropractic adjustments have better DNA activity demonstrated through serum testing.
