Chiropractic is the Gift of Giving Up Negativity

[Don't forget next week's health challenge!]
(In today's Citizen)

When people express an interest in chiropractic, I ask them if they plan to focus on the problem or the gift. When they raise an eyebrow, I offer a reason to shift gears in their thinking.

The only way to have a change in health is to shift gears by incorporating some type of behavior change. Health education during appointments is needed for successful change.

We tend to go to a health care professional with a problem when it doesn’t seem to go away on its own. I guess it is human nature, but while we wait for a problem to go away, we help new problems fester.

I understand problems must be dealt with appropriately, but we can also recognize we have a gift. We are the gift. The very same human body that has you feeling down and anxious because of some kind of disruptive symptom or disease pattern is actually responding correctly to a stress.

The body has many built-in mechanisms that protect and heal you from mishaps and unpleasant exposures. While the problem is annoying or even life-threatening, the body is working hard at keeping you alive.

In the chiropractic world, the gift is the body’s communication system made up of the brain, spinal cord and nerves that deliver the lifesaving messages of healing through the tunnel of bones we call the spine.

Maybe I have a word obsession, but if you focus on problems, you will never attain health. I don’t even like the term health screenings, because it is focusing on a problem you might have or might never have.

No one likes going in for mammograms or colonoscopies. The anxiety they produce ramps up cortisol levels and probably kills off a few DNA strands just waiting for the test results.

But don’t yell at me assuming I think health screenings are not necessary. However, I do want more people to shift gears. I want you to enhance your gift of healing, and chiropractic gives you a very unique way to do it.

The gift of our healing system still needs help. Just like everything else, your spine and nervous system need to be finely tuned and polished.

Routine chiropractic adjustments are the fine tunings. When spinal fixations are released, neurological patterns can be restored to a state of more efficient healing. Health education is offered by your chiropractor to explain what makes the body less efficient, and how the adjustment perks it up.

Chiropractors also use health education to help you add the polish. You can learn how to lower stress levels so the spine and nervous system stay strong. You can learn how to recognize the subtle signs of spine and nerve dysfunction.

Let’s focus on the gift as a way to resolve our problems. Take the time to understand how chiropractic enhances the healing process. This is a great way to shift gears and make powerful changes in your health.

Upgrade Your Life with Chiropractic

( My article from today's Citizen)

 I wonder how many people react as I do when my computer breaks down. I will go into a full panic because I am at a loss when I can’t access files on my computer. We have grown to rely on computers for reading, typing, communicating, managing money and entertainment.

But I have a problem. I am not well-versed in computer-speak. I barely understand the purpose of a firewall, motherboard or anti-virus software. And if a computer is so intelligently made, why can’t it just work perfectly forever?

I don’t throw my computer around or drop it on the floor. I just do the usual things, such as opening up a lot of windows, saving loads of documents and clicking on any kind of link that promises me wonderful information.

Of course, I am unknowingly doing harm to my computer while I tap away at the keyboard. I supposedly do a few maintenance checks and update the virus software once I’m aware that it expired.

Perhaps this can be a great analogy when it comes to understanding health. My computer doesn’t say "ouch" when it is malfunctioning. A computer doesn’t give me much warning. It just runs more slowly. I don’t notice its slow speed until I get on someone else’s computer, and then get mad.

Just like a computer gradually running slow, the body doesn’t leave too many clues until tissue damage is quite apparent. We can live day in and day out not knowing an organ is inflamed or an artery is filling up with plaque. The body accommodates without sharing this information with the brain.

This is powerful innate wisdom. The stress theory states the body will adapt until it can no longer do so. What we need to do is properly use that innate wisdom to heal us, rather than weaken us.

From a chiropractic perspective, we have been built very intelligently by our creator. We tend to take that for granted and do reactive things rather than be proactive. We have unique hardware such as the spine and nerves. Our daily actions influence its software, which is the way our brains memorize patterns of health or disease.

What program do you want to upload? Regardless of your health goals, chiropractic helps your internal wiring deliver nerve impulses that promote healing. Just like a computer: garbage in means garbage out. We prefer to get rid of the garbage.

Chiropractic is your upgrading system that helps you stay active, alert and on top of your game. It doesn’t matter what kind of diagnosis or disease you may be dealing with. You can utilize chiropractic to make your nervous system more responsive to healing.

Chiropractic has such a profound influence on brain activity that researchers call chiropractic the reboot button. Brain activity may sound like science jargon, but if you want energy, mobility, calm, balance, clear thinking and organs that don’t fight each other, you want the brain and spine to be an effective operating system.

What Do Short Cuts Really Mean?

CLICK ON THE IMAGE TO ENLARGE

You take a short cut when driving to avoid traffic.  Makes sense.
Do you take short cuts when cooking?  Sometimes.  You can make a cake with applesauce instead of oil.
Do you take short cuts when building a house.  Well, we know what happened to the three pigs!

Chiropractic is more than feeling better.  You can take a short cut anytime to feel better.
Chiropractic is about understanding our creation was no accident.  Body functions are very deliberate.  We understand that working with the body makes more sense than doing things that go against the natural laws of biology.

Being drug free is one of the best ways to understand this.  Avoiding drugs requires really knowing what it takes to make your body strong and efficient.

As your chiropractor, I thank you and salute you for taking the time to do things right.

A Tale of Two Nervous Systems

This is a tale of two nervous systems that can help you understand why your self-concept is so important in how you decide to take care of your health.

The first nervous system is well known. The brain and spinal cord act together to coordinate all the functions of the body. The brain and spinal cord also interpret thoughts in a way that affects hormones and neurotransmitters which leads us to believe emotions play a role in how well the body responds to stress. We know the nerves that exit the spine connect the muscles and organs to the brain as well as to each other.

The other nervous system is invisible. It cannot be seen on an MRI. It cannot be dissected by an anatomist in a lab. It is the innate intelligence that makes us alive. Innate intelligence is the most natural gift of the human body that communicates creation and healing. Innate intelligence tells a tree to grow from a tiny seed to a large monstrosity. Innate intelligence initiates cell division and organ formation when the egg and sperm meet.

The invisible innate intelligence relies on a healthy super highway in order to deliver the expressions of life. This super highway is the physical nervous system. Innate intelligence and the brain and spinal cord work together to do amazing things we will never fully understand. But, we can nurture our lives in the most unique way through chiropractic care.

How we value the invisible nervous system is reflected by the way we care for the visible nervous system.

Would you stop a miracle in progress?

I am trying to do a better job communicating how the nervous system is the miracle that makes us who we are. I became a doctor of chiropractic so I could help people release nervous system blockages that steal health. The biggest blockage I see is a poor awareness with plenty of fear. I want to remove these blockages.

I adjust people so they can release the mental and physical stresses that wear down nerves and block the power of innate intelligence. I went to chiropractic school and happened to learn tons of other stuff that doesn’t help me adjust people. In fact, it just confuses people. I like learning new things, but in my quest to make use of it this extra knowledge, I have wasted too much precious time. I have prevented people from experiencing the miracles that occur when spinal tension is released. I won’t do it anymore.

Many chiropractors concentrate on how the nervous system helps muscles and joints. I am moved to take it farther. My focus is on how the nervous system affects personal empowerment and self-worth.

We all have a God given innate intelligence that helps us heal and thrive. It is the same nonphysical force that allows a seed to remain dormant all winter and then germinate when the right conditions are present. Within us, our innate intelligence works in concert with the nervous system regulating important functions that keep us alive. Personality and life choices are influenced by the nervous system. Because the spine is so intricately involved with the nervous system, daily stress on the spine changes how we participate in life.

Please, don’t let people miss out on the chiropractic experience. Don’t decide who needs to go to the chiropractor. Don’t judge by someone’s age, healthiness, or sickness.

Pain or pain-free.

Disease or disease-free.

It does not matter.

When I get adjusted regularly, I think better, I get more done, and I am a more loving person.

• You are a living miracle because of innate intelligence.
• The miracle of the adjustment is that it can influence human potential.

Don’t get bogged down by any other “chiropractic/medical jargon.” Nurture the miracle by getting adjusted and making it a regular habit.

P.S. Don’t interrupt miracles.

Cancer Screening: Not Saving Lives

"If you look outside the body, you will be let down each and every time." --Dr. Lisa


Dr. Julian Whitaker has made an unpopular statement about the problems with cancer screenings. If cancer screenings were so great, cancer would be a thing of the past. READ The Myth of Cancer Screening Here

After you read Dr. Whitaker's article you are going to wonder, "What now?"

There is plenty we can do about cancer.

#1 - Get adjusted with Advanced-Lifetime-Care. There is an important reason my office is an Advanced-Lifetime-Care office. People who are adjusted regularly have shown to have healthier DNA. Can you feel your DNA failing you? Not really. Read about the study on DNA and chiropractic. Getting adjusted is easy. Almost too easy. People seem to want something complicated. It just takes commitment--about 5-10 minutes a week. Advanced-Lifetime-Care is also designed to be affordable. Cancer treatment is not.

#2 - Get your nutrition from diet and supplements. The best way to deal with cancer is with a strong body that can heal itself. Chemicals just don't do it. Surgery can cut out cancerous tissues but it will likely come back because the cellular insults that spur cancer proliferation are not addressed.

#3 - Heal your emotions with a realistic attitude. Change yourself and stop changing others. Enjoy life moment by moment. The past is over and the future will never be the way you imagine it. Harboring useless "stuff" allows cancer to be harbored in the body. Read A New View of Cancer.

#4 - Believe in the healing power of the body. If you look outside the body you will be let down each and every time.

Remember, you get to choose.

Put It To Good Use: Harness Innate Intelligence for Emotional Freedom

At your next adjustment make a mental note of your emotional state and how well your subluxations are released. It is amazing how stored emotions and the effects of stress and time are felt in the spine. Ask me what I notice on your spine.

When you see a flashing red light on a state troopers car in the rear view window while you are driving, what is the first thing that you feel? Does you heart start to beat fast and your stomach develop a number of wrenching knots?

When someone you don't like or have a great deal of conflict with walks into the room and you see that person, what immediately happens inside of you? Do you feel a sense of dread that distracts you from what you are doing? Do you have trouble carrying on a conversation? Do you suddenly feel all your energy drain?

These are very strong reactions. Can you imagine how much cortisol is secreted by the body during this time. For some people these reactions completely disorganize them and takes them away from their potential accomplishments. It is a terrible time stealer because it takes quite awhile to recover from these reactions and get back into a more positive mood. Studies have shown when people watch scary movies their body chemistry changes.

Remember the first time you saw the love of your life? Ah...this sentence can get the heart racing of an entire country.

Think back to your favorite meal and the people you were sitting with during that meal? Was it a holiday? Were you with your family? Can you smell the aromas? Do you feel a sense of calm and warmth with this memory?

These feelings can be powerful. Which ones would you like to have more of? I haven't had any speeding tickets in more than ten years. I used to panic whenever a police car was behind me and would be in agony for miles and miles until it made a turn somewhere. If I see a police car now, I don't sweat it. I know I am not speeding and I am perfectly confident everything is okay.

Work with them or work against them. How do you use your feelings?

Your innate intelligence is always working for you. Does it work better when you are in a positive state? Your innate intelligence doesn't mind negative emotions, but prefers you learn from them so balance is quickly restored.

At your next adjustment make a mental note of your emotional state and how well your subluxations are released. It is amazing how stored emotions and the effects of stress and time are felt in the spine. Ask me what I notice on your spine.

Babies Have the Advantage: Their Mental Energy is Brand New

I'll tell you without a doubt I am so glad I don't have to repeat high school again. How many of you agree with me?

I do envy babies, though. They come into the world with a fresh mind. They have not had a lifetime of negative emotions to absorb.

Because of this, they are so magnificent when they get adjusted! Infants who are labeled with "failure to thrive," respond so quickly to a chiropractic adjustment. While it is of upmost importance to get all children checked for subluxations when they are born because subluxations can damge the body with no outward signs for years, these miraculous stories touch the heart. Look at the case studies in this article:

http://www.chiroweb.com/archives/22/07/01.html

It is a great reminder how we should not interfere with the natural healing process. Babies have no idea what chiropractic is. They don't care that it began in 1895 when a deaf janitor had his hearing restored. They don't care about chiropractors who went to jail for standing up for what they believe in. Babies don't care there are mixed opinions about the proper age to receive your first adjustment.

This also shows how our adult emotions and beliefs profoundly allow us to heal or help us to die.

Chiropractic clears out things you aren't even aware are harming you.

When you are on the table for your next adjustment, become a baby. All babies care about is communicating their need for human contact. They don't weigh the pros and cons and worry about the opinions of others, they just want love.

Be a baby who is free of adult programming so innate intelligence can take care of business.

Babies don't know they need adjusting. They just love the feeling safe, warm, and comfortable.

What else do emotions have to do with your health?
