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 Subluxation: Knowledge Saves Your Health

(Yahoo chiropractor auburn ny 13021)

The chiropractic adjustment is the star of the show when it comes to clearing the spine of subluxations.

The term subluxation has a very different and important meaning to chiropractors.  In the medical realm a subluxation is a partial dislocation in a joint.  In chiropractic it is a process describing how the body responds to stress with the spine as a central distributor of life saving information.  

Clearly, we want our central information distributor to be working at its best.  While most health care practitioners see chiropractic as a treatment for back pain, chiropractors see the long term consequences of ignored subluxations as a contributor to auto-immune disorders.

We are concerned with auto-immune disorders because they are on the rise.

The subluxation process is a weakness and fixation in the spine that also weakens how the body stands up to stress.  The body will begin to attack itself, in a similar way that auto-immune diseases attack the body.  Somehow the message of healing is mixed up and degeneration replaces the healing response.

Subluxations do not only come from the spine.  Subluxations can be response from organ stress, muscle stress, or emotional stress.  Whenever there is inflammation, a toxic reaction, a fight or flight response, a subluxation will be noticed in the spinal joints.  

A subluxation in a spinal joint sends signals to the brain that then creates one or more of the following:

• pallor: pale skin due to decreased oxygen in the skin, and mucous membranes
• nausea 
• dizziness
• faintness
• syncope
• change in blood pressure (hmm... "they" say the cause of high blood pressure is unknown)
• change in respiration (do you know anyone with chronic breathing problems?)
• change in heart rate 
• reduced blood flow at the joint (this causes joint damage)
• muslce spasm (painless)
• sometimes pain

Pain is not always a reaction in subluxated joints, since pain is perceived in the brain with an emotional attachment.  

Pain occurs when there is a sustained and intense stimulus on the body.  It can be from: 

• an injury, 
• chemical stress 
• dietary stress that impairs smooth muscle activity
• emotional stress that sends brain chemicals down the spinal cord that disrupts body functions
• a previously learned brain pattern that increases pain intensity for no reason or with minor injuries

With this knowledge you have the opportunity to take better care of your health.  When you know how to utilize chiropractic care properly, you can help yourself heal without the confusing, illogical methods of drug treatment.

I will continue on this topic in future posts.

Chiropractic Insights: You Are Your Health Care

(Yahoo chiropractor auburn ny 13021 )

Here is my chiropractic article in this week's Citizen.  I debunk the myth that insurance coverage makes you healthier.
We need insurance for emergencies and hospitalizations, but chronic health problems should not really be the burden it is on the health system.  It starts with us.

Chiropractic Teaches Us to Look Deeper at ...Digestive Health

[Yahoo Auburn Chiropractor 13021]  Chiropractic adjustments can do so much for health.  One example is perking up poor digestion.  Do you have a subluxation that interferes with the nerve function in the digestive tract?

What is a subluxation?  It means "partial dislocation," a non-complex term to describe a fixated spinal joint that   impairs nerve activity between the brain and body organs, muscles, blood vessels, etc.

Viscero-somato or Somato-vicero  (internal organ to structure or structure to internal organ....which came first the chicken or the egg)

A subluxation is part of a damaging process that weakens the immune system, so we need to take a closer look at how the body is functioning under the stresses of subluxations.  

Originates at an Organ
A subluxation could mean the stress begins at an organ and sends stress signals to the spine thus impacting brain responses and causing tight muscles because they share the same nerve root at the center of the body.  If the stress starts at an organ it likely stems from a poor lifestyle habit such as poor diet.

Originates at the Structure
A subluxation could also be originating at the spine from a trauma that eventually makes the nerves change how an organ functions. 

Digestion is a big topic in chiropractic because correcting one aspect isn't enough without correcting all aspects.   Adjustments alone don't work and dietary changes alone don't work.

If you haven't taken the Neuro-Digestive-Stress test in the office in the last 6 months, it's time to repeat it.  It is a hand written test that takes less than three minutes to complete.

When you retake your Neuro-Digestive-Stress test I will explain some important dietary issues that most people find confusing.  But I say it's time to clear it up and get people feeling better.

1) Meats, eggs and "Good" fats such as coconut oil, butter, lard, naturally occurring animal fats, etc. are the easiest foods to digest compared to carbs (plant foods).

2) Iron assimilation is entirely dependent on protein metabolism and not so much on iron tablets.

3) Fiber is the worst thing for digestion

I'll be ready to answer your questions.  See you at the table....the adjusting table.

Chiropractic Teaches Us to Look Deeper at Health Questions

Yahoo Auburn, NY chiropractor 13021

Chiropractic adjustments can be really awesome.  Most people feel positive changes very quickly.  That's great news to hear.  It also moves us to a different place when it comes to understanding health.  Because chiropractic looks at the body as a strong healing force.  The body has its own power.  Sadly we hear more negative messages about our own abilities to heal and handle life's stresses.

The latest news today has come out about cholesterol levels and our cholesterol levels are better than what they were 20 years ago.  And yes, statin use has increased 5 times since then.  That is not good news.  If we are relying more on chemical manipulation, we've learned nothing.

It pains me to hear this news story because cholesterol is not the cause of heart disease.  Inflammation is the biggest danger to heart disease.  And what's worse...people still worry about good cholesterol and bad cholesterol when there is no difference between the two.

These lies continue to persist and it breaks my heart to know people still believe them.

I had my blood tested last week to show my practice members that you can eat eggs and butter, which I do everyday.  I follow a Paleo/low carb lifestyle.  (Avoiding legumes, grains, and sugar).

My cholesterol is 201 ("they" want cholesterol to be below 200.) Personally, I think my cholesterol needs to be higher for better health and resistance.

My triglycerides are 66.  (under 150 is ideal.)

In chiropractic, the body is intelligent and we must not block the delivery of intelligent information through the nervous system.  Different stresses interfere with the transmission of appropriate nerve impulses to keep us alive.  When we understand how well equipped the body really is, we can question some of the health care practices that are considered mainstream and make a true educated decision for our own health freedom.

If you want more information come in on Thursday nights for a "Lied to Death" health seminar.  Call me to make your reservation.
