I was in the middle of some mundane task when a thought crossed my mind. I wondered if by some chance there might be a connection between creation of Adam from the “ground”, and the “ground” being cursed after eating from the tree. Does sickness and disease we see today, and the Innate Intelligence we talk about in Chiropractic correlate in scripture. Here's what I found.
“then the Lord God formed the man of dust from the GROUND and breathed into his nostrils the BREATH of life, and the man became a LIVING CREATURE.” Genesis 2:7
I knew that in the Hebrew scripture, the “GROUND” is actually “ADAMAH”. For the sake of this, think of it as the “stuff” that makes up the earth. The “BREATH” is “NESHAMAH”, you can think of it as the spirit (we PRINCIPLED Chiropractors call it Innate Intelligence). Interesting to note is that “LIVING BEING” is “NEPHESH” which in Hebrew also means the “SOUL”, though in most of the common bible translations, they don't translate it that way.
Genesis 2:9 and 2:19 describe that all the plants and animals too were made from “ADAMAH”, but does NOT mention “NESHAMAH”. We certainly have something uniquely special.
So on to Genesis 3:17, it says “And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed [is] the GROUND for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat [of] it all the days of thy life.”
Sure enough, “GROUND” is the same Hebrew word in this verse, “ADAMAH”. Maybe you, like me, always read this verse that we would have to be toiling farmers the rest of our lives. But, you now know it shows we will toil our lives to MAINTAIN OUR HEALTH and STILL ultimately lose it.
What's the point? While the ADAMAH we are made from is less than perfect (cursed if you will) and requires a lot of blood, sweat, and tears to maintain, the NESHAMAH is ALWAYS 100% and UNCORUPTABLE. You have an incredible power in your body to HEAL and MAINTAIN. But MOST people don't think that power is enough. Are you guilty? Do you turn to drugs, doctors, and surgery because you don't believe the body can heal itself? NO...I hear that a lot UNTIL something bad happens, then by default people default just like Peter did. So are you going to live your life trying to “fix the ADAMAH”, or removing interference so the “NESHAMAH” can do it's job?
This is the most FREQUENTLY VISITED TOPIC Wellness Corrective based Chiropractors will ever have to handle. When it comes to patient care and getting AMAZING results over just mediocre, dependency lies on educating and empowering THE PATIENT to keep up with their care as outlined. Easier said than done.
In a world where distraction is the norm, where you are hit by 5 commercials in 120 seconds, billboards lining the streets, LOUD voices on the radio, the news, at work, at church, and everywhere else, and any information you need at arms length via computers and smart phones, DO YOU THINK it's difficult to upload a message into someone's brain? That question CAN'T be asked with a straight face. The reality is you have to chisel through concrete with a plastic sp-ork to get through to people these days.
How do you do that best in today's world? REPETITION. The mass media knows this, that's why the big businesses smatter the landscape and cyberscape with their brand and message. You don't need to explain the manufacturing process of Coke to people, just SAY coke 50 times a day combined with a sexy model drinking that fizzy black icy beverage and at 2:30 you've GOT TO HAVE A COKE and you don't know why!
So HOW DO I, your Wellness Coach, keep YOU from getting lost in the sea of confusion just to drift back to living under the Medical Model of symptom centered healthcare? I have basically TWO tools to use.
THE PRINCIPLE – Those who really GET THE BIG IDEA, not on a head but a HEART level, are not easily distracted by hype and busy-ness. Understanding that THE POWER LIES INSIDE and function MUST BE MAINTAINED drives the patient to prioritize their health above all else. Without health, all else withers away early. This is why we do so much education and give you handouts. BUT, this only works if you are open and ACTIVELY LISTENING/READING. We CAN'T compete with Medical Money.
YOUR PAIN – What? Well, when you drift off and the pain brings you back in, that gives us one more opportunity to pull you back to reality. The question is, are YOU LEARNING from it?
So moral of the story, we are only as effective as YOU listen. The moment you start making excuses for missing adjustments and doing therapies, our fight for YOUR health is a lost cause. So where are you? Are you “all in”, or are you a “I get adjusted when I NEED to” patient? What kind of PERSON would you LIKE to be? Most important question then, are you listening?
How many of your decisions in life are based on “feeling”? When you dig into this question you might just be shocked. Most of the “self help” talk out there tries to take advantage of this being about PMA or “positive mental attitude”. In other words make yourself “feel” like it. It is TRUE that we are wired to act based on emotion. But let's look at a few big decisions and how this is relevant:
If you don't “feel good” about your husband or wife today, should you file for divorce?
If you don't “feel good” about your job today, should you quit and just file for unemployment?
If you don't “feel good” about the way something in your life is going, should you abandon the idea of God loving you?
If you don't “feel good” a week after a Chiropractic adjustment, should you quit care and let your spine go back to rotting?
CLEARLY you can see that making emotional decisions usually is not good for your long term wellbeing! So why do all the “gurus” preach this as gospel? Because it's EASY and people buy right into it.
The reality is while you SHOULD provide yourself with positive self talk like saying “fantastic” instead of “fine” when asked how you're doing, don't leave your life up to the “feeling of the day”. When it comes to the big decisions in life, COMMITMENT is the only way to make it last. When you're committed to marriage, it doesn't matter how you “feel”. How many marriages are destroyed by people not “feeling” in love? And because you go to church and claim faith in God doesn't say much today either, because the divorce rate is just as high in the church. I love (that's a VERB, not an adjective) my wife every day the same regardless of if I feel like it. I have a GOOD day at work regardless of how many patients “poo poo on my parade”. I give gratitude to GOD as my daily bread regardless of waking up in a slump. And I get my Chiropractic adjustments even if it's out of the way and I feel like just going home. All of this because I've chosen my commitments.
What's the difference between interest and commitment? Interest is temporary. Interest is based on how you feel. Where you “excited” when you started Chiropractic? Is it now a mundane out of the way event? Would you rather save the money and watch that extra 30 minutes of TV? Guess what, so would I sometimes. But I'm not going to let my up and down feelings decide the outcome of my life, my marriage, my health, or my walk with God. How about you?
Should you use sunscreen? Well if you listen to “the authorities” the overwhelming answer is “are you kidding me, OF COURSE you should you ignorant moron!”. Ok, well maybe they'll say it nicer than that, but that IS what they'd be thinking. See it's not even a question any more, “everyone” from the CDC, to the Cancer Society, to your local “doc in a box” knows that sunblock is the best measure for lowering risk of skin cancer. But IS IT?
On the CDCs website you can see two images. The first is skin cancer rates BY STATE, the second is skin cancer rates OVER TIME. Now if you look up sunscreen on Wikipedia you'll find it was invented in the 1930s and has been widely used from the 1960s on.
So here's what you see looking at the two charts. On the BY STATE chart, either I'm understanding it that Washington, Oregon, and Kansas get MORE SUN than Texas, New Mexico, and right here in Alabama, OR exposure to the sun LITTLE to do with the whole skin cancer thing. As for the chart OVER TIME, either NOBODY is using enough sunscreen while “Global Warming” is exploding our exposure to UV radiation, or sunscreen has had ZERO effect on lowering skin cancer rates and has arguably made it WORSE.
So what then is the TRUTH? The fact is, typical chemicalized sunscreen is one of the WORST chemicals you can put on your skin. TRUTH is you need at least an hour of full sunlight every day. TRUTH is skin cancer like any other cancer has very STRONG links to Vitamin D deficiency associated with lack of sunlight exposure. TRUTH is it's getting TOO MUCH sun all at once like running a marathon with no training that your body doesn't handle well. TRUTH is you body knows exactly what to do to accommodate sun exposure (ever here of a suntan, or an African?). TRUTH is the “doctor within” ALWAYS knows better than “the authorities”.
I answer to and trust fully only ONE authority. How about you?
We've all HEARD the word discipleship, but unfortunately I don't think most people know what it MEANS. Culturally I think it's VERY important we understand this in order for progress to be made in the future. After all, it is the model that GOD chose right?
So here's the original Hebrew model (cycle) of development:
Discipleship → Baptism → Training → Ownership/Discipleship
Not that this is a theology lesson, but unfortunately most of what we see in practice today is out of order. We baptize, then leave them to “go to church on Sunday” to learn to LIVE later. The reason this IS a big deal is it was meant to be “follow me” like Jesus said (his disciples followed him for 3 YEARS) to see HOW he lived, then you baptize which is a sign that you've BECOME. You haven't really BECOME until your life reflects it. That's like saying I'm an Ironman when I haven't yet completed one. Jesus didn't just hand them some “materials or brochures”, or even ask them to “meet at his house” once or twice a week. He said FOLLOW ME, live with me, drink with me, breathe with me. Watch what I say, do, feel, etc, and you will learn as we go. He was a Rabbi. In terms of the baptism, it's then like “learning to swim” BEFORE you get “dumped in the river”.
Though they don't recognize true discipleship is happening, I see it in our Chiropractic community. We have lots of dedicated, committed families living the Maximized Living lifestyle. They decide to “follow”, they read, write, think, email, phone in, and sometimes even hang out to keep learning. OVER TIME they “get it” and BECOME the “health guru's” themselves. NO...we don't baptize them when that happens, BUT, I do see them “jumping into the water” as they bring me stories of their neighbors, friends, and families who have this or that problem that they're trying to help them with. Those people, who I don't know and have never met, see OUR PATIENTS as the experts, the ones living differently from the rest of the world, and WANT WHAT THEY HAVE SO THEY FOLLOW (sometimes). That's discipleship.
It wouldn't work as well if we asked our patients to knock on strangers doors, stand on street corners and hand out flyers, etc. It may happen on occasion that someone's life was transformed that way, but it's MUCH MORE PREDICTABLE AND EFFECTIVE when it's simply a community experience of walking through life and guiding people along the way “as you go”. You think God maybe knew that when he encouraged that to be the way?
While it's good to tell people everywhere you go and at every opportunity about something YOU KNOW is TRUTH and works, that's not the most effective means. LIVE IT, and others will SEE IT and FOLLOW.
Answer me these questions. When will you begin to eat fried foods again? When will you go back to drinking tap water? When will be the last time you “need” to take vitamins? When will your last exercise be? When will you be able to eat what you want, when you want, and how much of it you want? When will you go back to taking medications for all of your health woes? And lastly, when will your last Chiropractic Adjustment be?
You just took the Maximized Living test. Did you pass? You see, I ask all those questions for you to evaluate where you REALLY are. Some people seem to “get it” right off the bat and stay committed to health for life. Some people seem to “get it”, then SHOCK me a few months in when they drop out for various reasons and go right back to medical thinking (MOST of these have filled out exam forms talking about how GREAT they're doing....I figure they're just the type that forgets QUICKLY). On the other hand some people I think up front “oh boy, they're never gonna get it” and 5 years later they're the most committed patients we have. Yet again some others I think the above and, well, I'm right.
When you shake it all down, a TRUE Maximized Living mindset looks at the above questions and it almost doesn't even process. If somebody where to stop me on the street and ask me those questions I would look at them funny and say “are you KIDDING me, I'm never going back to that crap” (I said it yes....get over it)! I know with absolute certainty that nothing will ever stop me from eating right, exercising, getting adjusted, and most certainly THINKING in alignment with the Principle that I have EVERYTHING I need to live the life of my dreams, which of course is GOD's Principle before Chiropractic “borrowed” it.
Some of you may read this and start saying things like, “yeah, but you don't know how bad my _____ is”, or “yeah, but you can afford it”, or “you only say that because you're already healthy”. Excuses are EASY. Work and Commitment is HARD. If that were NOT true, then everyone you know would be successful. But I look around everywhere I go and I see a lot of sick, broken, emotional, stressed, poor, and unhappy people. Realize that what you SEE is a direct reflection of COMMITMENT to Principles. Ouch.
You can make a decision RIGHT NOW that NOTHING will ever stop you from reaching the health and LIFE of your dreams. Good health means absolutely NOTHING if you're stressed and unhappy. Maximized Living is about aligning your HEALTH values with your LIFE values to give you the best chance of achieving your goals. I'll be the first to tell you, IT WORKS. I am successful NOT because I'm “special”. I'm just like YOU. I simply have COMMITTED my LIFE to living to a very HIGH standard. I NEVER quit what works.
time, the latter signifies a time in between, a moment of undetermined period of time in which something special happens. What the special something is depends on who is using the word. While chronos is quantitative, kairos has a qualitative nature. (Wikipedia)
While the above comes from Wikipedia, Kairos is actually a biblical term meaning “the pregnant moment”. Kairos time is not bound to time in terms of seconds, minutes, or days, but is a non-specific period of time when “everything changes”. Kairos is the term used to define the birth of Jesus for example. While yes it was a “moment” that could be recorded on a clock, the use of Kairos defines the true significance of the event.
If you were to look up Chiro-practic in a dictionary, ask a random “Chiropractic Physician”, or ask most Chiropractic College professors, you will be told that the root “chiro” means “by hand”. This of course is true. But here's what they won't likely tell you. The name Chiro is a combination of the Greek letters chi (χ) and rho (ρ), which are the first letters of Christos, the Greek form of
It's important to understand all of this because Chiropractic was actually NAMED by Dr. Palmer's pastor. Do you really think after considering all the above that a PASTOR was thinking “oh, well since you use your hands...”? NO WAY! He KNEW what he was doing when he rightfully and properly named it. He KNEW that every time a bone is moved in the spine, it releases the flow of LIFE to be restored in the body, allowing the body to HEAL according to the way it was DESIGNED. He understood that the “above down inside out” PRINCIPLE puts GOD right at the center of what we call healthcare. He understood that for THAT PERSON being adjusted, it's a KAIROS moment when EVERYTHING about their future changes because LIFE is restored. He understood. Do you, or are we just knocking “criks” out “by hand”?
Chiropractic is not merely a “by hand only” practice of popping bones for that “ooh ahh” feeling. That may very well be what some doctors choose to practice, but NOT HERE. If it weren't for the sake of people reading my forms and thinking I can't spell, I would spell it KAIROpractic. We practice the above down inside out Principle of health and healing restoring GOD's children to their MAXIMIZED POTENTIAL, and EVERY time I lay my hands on you or your children's spines, it is a KAIROS moment when your entire future changes as a result of that restored function. But hey, the Chiropractor down the street is cheaper and takes your insurance huh? If that's what you want, go for it!
Why not put your fears on the line and do something more? Why not step out of your comfort zone and attempt something you think you can't do? Maybe on the other hand you feel that you might be able to but are listening to voices around you who say you can't. In that case the only problem is, YOU LISTEN.
Why can't you do it? Who told you that you can't do it? If you can't put your finger right on a reason or a person, what experience in your past has put a stop limit on your mind? There are NO limits. I've seen men and women over 50 who have never exercised in their life start to run, and now run IRONMANS. I've seen people who had lost so much of their hope that they ALLOWED themselves to get drastically obese, but DECIDE to change it and drop over 100 lbs. I've seen people get off 20 medications and get in the best health of their lives within MONTHS. Don't tell me YOU CAN'T. I won't believe you.
My first organized race really was not organized at all. I went downtown to do spinal screenings at the First Light Marathon Pre-Race Health Fair. Standing there I watched person after person go through the line and pick up their packet wondering “what is that person thinking?”, “what makes them think they could possibly do this?”, and all the other questions that happen to come into your mind simply because of stinkin thinkin. You know what? Thank GOD they didn't listen to people like ME that day! Thank GOD they told their own head to SHUT UP and STOP TALKING TRASH. I stood there all day watching this until the next LOGICAL thought crossed my mind, “WHY CAN'T I”? That was a question I could not logically argue with. So you know what I did? I went home, got my wife, and we went right back up and signed me up to run 13 miles the next morning. Was I trained, NO. Was I prepared, NO. Was I in great shape, NO. Did I know everything I needed to know about running, NO. Did I have a great coach, NO. Did I hurt after, YES! But that day changed my LIFE. That day I learned I could do more than what I was willing to believe previously. That day changed WHO I WAS into WHAT I AM.
So what is that thought that has propped up in your mind to do? Run, bike, climb a mountain, hike a trail? What's that ONE THING that you've seen others do that sparked you, but you haven't because of your excuses? You can change WHO YOU ARE in an INSTANT. One single decision, followed by commitment to that decision can give you everything you wish you had.
Did you know that the vaccines contain toxic levels of aluminum? This is another example of how the medical community has deceived the people of this country by saying that vaccines are safe! Consider this quote by Dr. John Clements, WHO vaccine advisor. "Aluminum is not perceived, I believe, by the public as a dangerous metal. Therefore, we are in a much more comfortable wicket in terms of defending its presence in vaccines."
It is all based on PERCEPTION...not science! What does the science tell us about aluminum? Here are some known facts. Aluminum is carried out by the kidneys and excessive amounts can cause kidney damage. It is present in our environment in many forms and is considered toxic to the nervous system. Many over-the-counter medications contain aluminum and it is used as food additives as well (like Microwave Popcorn). Over time, aluminum can accumulate in the brain and lead to neurological problems. The latest stats say that a normal human being takes in about 3-10 micrograms daily through air, food and other environmental avenues. A healthy adult will be able to detoxify much of this exposure, but we all know that over time, aluminum can lead to chronic health problems. Aluminum should be avoided as much as possible.
There is only one study that was done on infants and aluminum toxicity, as reported by Dr. Robert Sears in The Vaccine Book. He discovered that the only study done on infants and aluminum exposure documented, "impaired neurological and mental development at 18 months old."Does that sound safe? Why then is it O.K. to inject it in our babies at levels 100 times more toxic than that? Dr. Sears said that aluminum in infants is toxic between 1-20 micrograms. Check out the childhood vaccine schedule of shots reported by Neil Miller, www.thinktwice.com just showing the approximate aluminum levels a child will get in vaccines by 18 months old:
Hep B 250 micrograms given 3 times
DtaP 625 micrograms given 4 times
Hib 225 micrograms given 3 times
PCV 125 micrograms given 4 times
HepA 250 micrograms given 2 times
Grand Total = 4,925 micrograms
This does NOT include the Gardasil Cervical Cancer Vaccine which contains 225 micrograms of aluminum or the flu vaccines which also contain aluminum. So if you ask any "Honest" physician if he/she thinks this is safe and they say "Yes", please understand this person is a danger to society and avoid all contact!
I once heard a pastor say that “a belief is something you buy into, but a PRINCIPLE is something you live and DIE by”. In conversation, I often uncover that though patients “like” coming to get adjusted, they aren't necessarily committed to the PRINCIPLE of Chiropractic. BJ Palmer said “teach the PRINCIPLE, and all else follows”. This is what he means.
Medicine stands by a principle. That principle is that the body is a mechanical unit, a chemical concoction, that is maintained and fixed much like a car by taking away and adding to. Chiropractic stands for a different PRINCIPLE summed up in the phrase “the POWER that MADE the body HEALS the body”. Chiropractic understands that the body is an intelligent creation beyond anything we can UNDERSTAND, let alone make better!
So what, they both have principles. There is nothing WRONG with that. I say that because we can't change that. It will always be that way. What we CAN change is who and how many live according to one Principle or the other. So which do YOU live by? If you rely on medications, cutting, burning, etc then you're Medically Principled. EVEN IF you get adjusted because you're back or neck HURTS, as a form of symptomatic relief, then YES you're still Medically principled. So what does it look like to be ChiropracTIC Principled?
Think of the “TIC” as what “makes you tick”. Someone that LIVES by the principle understands that “healing works ABOVE DOWN, INSIDE OUT”, never from the OUTSIDE IN. It's an ABSOLUTE FAITH that God knows more than EDUCATED MAN could ever know about running a body (he's got more experience). It's to LIVE by the TRUTH that a DEAD body cannot heal EVEN WITH drugs, cutting, removing, vitamins, potions, lotions, and elixirs because INNATE INTELLIGENCE is NO LONGER PRESENT in that body. So what makes those things appear to “work” some of the time? That very POWER.
Does a well educated woman have any better chance of developing a healthy baby than an Uneducated “savage” in the jungle? Mankind has ALWAYS existed ONLY by the undeniable principle that LIFE exists without man's direct involvement. Are we better off doing it ourselves or letting Innate work? So ask yourself. Do you LIVE this principle? If not, you can start right now. Either way, the PRINCIPLE works EVEN IF you don't acknowledge it!
If you haven't read Part 1, ask for a copy or read it from the earlier entry.
Here's the protocol I would do if I “life-styled” myself into Cancer.
Get adjusted as often as possible. This allows the other factors to be effective. Without maximum nerve supply the rest is limited in effect.
Check your environment. Where are you being poisoned and what can you do about it? Check out the Toxic Top 10 in the Patient Manual.
Switch to Water ONLY. You can get a good Flouride filter from CrystalQuest.com (HOT TIP: adding lemon or lime makes the water alkaline).
My diet would be almost entirely RAW vegetable based (grass fed meats ONLY, if any). I would also stick totally to the Advanced Diet guidelines in the Patient Manual to eliminate Inflammation.
Regardless of diet I would continue my current supplementation of Paleogreens and ProOmega Rx as a baseline, but would increase both doses.
Detoxification would continue as I do now going back and forth from Neurocleanse to OSR #1 to eliminate stored up toxins from metals to molds.
Vitamin D3 with Probiotics dosage would increase from the 10,000iu per day I do now to ¼ my body weight times 1,000iu (165lbs/2 = 40,000iu).
I would make SURE I spent at least an hour of the mid day outside.
I would take Phyzymes in the recommended dosage on the bottle to break down the protein walls surrounding cancerous lesions.
I would take Blood Support in the recommended dosage on the bottle as it contains concentrates of some of the most potent anticancer herbs known.
I would take Total Immune Cell Signal Enhancers in the recommended dosage to reactivate my hormonal pathways back to balance.
I would probably do more, but I don't want this to seem excessive...
Does this sound like a lot? Sound expensive? Keep in mind what it took to break down the integrity of your amazing body in the first place. More importantly, what value do you put on your life? It would be your call.
Who do you know that has opted to drain their life and their saving on chemo which is proven a whopping 2.1% effective? This protocol sounds a little more SANE and SCIENTIFIC doesn't it? It's up to YOU to advise them.
This question has come up a few times in the past, it's an answer I think everyone should know. Before I answer it though, let me make it clear that Cancer is NOT something you “get”. Cancer is developed over time due to it's definition by most scholars as a nutritional deficiency disorder exacerbated by toxicity. So it's ALL a diet problem right? Not entirely. The part even these scholars miss is that without proper nerve supply to the organs of digestion, you could not properly absorb nutrients, right?. Without nerve supply to the rest of the tissues you could not deliver them. And without nerve supply to the organs of detoxification you could not eliminate waste from the body. So like everything else nerve supply is at the fundamental CORE of solving the CAUSE of Cancer.
That being said, here's what else you need to know. What are the core nutrients every human needs? To function properly humans need air, water, vitamins, minerals, and sunlight as the primary nutrients. Let's take a look at each of these.
Air: It's not just important that you breath it, but if you can shuttle it through the body to the tissues. Oxygen carrying capacity of the blood depends on nutrition, nerve supply, fitness level, inflammation, medications like BLOOD PRESSURE lowering drugs, and more. It's much more than a pair of lungs.
Water: Most water is highly acidic. But most people don't even drink that. Soda's and Sweet Tea is the vast majority of liquid consumed. Think about it.
Vitamins & Minerals: Research shows the average diet is 90% processed food, void of nutrition and filled with chemicals. Meats are the worst, fed nothing but corn and grains (no grass), loaded with chemicals, and that's the half of it!
Sunlight: But it CAUSES skin cancer right? What a joke! Since that junk science was proliferated and sun block became standard, the rate of skin cancer has gone through the roof. The lack of full sunlight has caused probably 98% of people to be Vitamin D deficient.
So in short, most of us have LITTLE TO NONE of the components we require to stay healthy. In part 2 I'll cover what exact steps I WOULD DO.
As I was researching tonight I came across something VERY disturbing I have NEVER seen before. You see, over the years I have grown accustomed to allowing patients to choose when they come in for their adjustments after they correct their spinal curves. In many other cases, I just accept when many of you say "I want to just come in once a month" (usually for financial reasons) even if the problem is NOT yet corrected. And that's the "good" patients, right? All of us from time to time have gone for long "breaks" before getting back in for their much needed adjustment. In fact MOST of the patients I have seen over the years have taken PERMANENT breaks, or else we would be seeing thousands of people each week.
So here's the find. This study by Tapio Videman MD, a researcher in Finland who has been studying the spine for many years http://bit.ly/56UIKR. He found that subluxation left for just 7-14 days will cause irreversible degeneration due to the irritated nerves causing muscle spasms which attract scar tissue. Scar tissue built up in the muscles surrounding the spine and on the spine itself is permanent. This leads to PERMANENT SUBLUXATION which is every increasingly more difficult AND more costly to deal with.
Ironic isn't it? You think you're saving money by coming in less often, and I think I'm helping you out by letting you drop down. When really we're letting permanent damage set in over time which will eventually cost you twice as much, not to mention loss of the priceless....HEALTH.
What about kids was my next thought. In digging a little deeper I found this:
“……….In the child, neuromuscular and functional adaptive reflex development represents a critical period of time when the young developing nervous system assimilates, differentiates, and adapts to external and internal stimuli. By means of these processes, the nervous system learns proprioceptive patterns and acquires future habits and reactions by responding to repetitive stimuli.
However, such a developing nervous system is not always able to distinguish between proper and improper stimuli; therefore it responds to both. This is the conundrum - the response in neither
“good” nor “bad”, but rather adaptive to the presenting stimulus. These adaptive responses are remembered and patterned and thus the young nervous system is conditioned for future response.
This process of neurological “learning” or “programming” of the central nervous system with respect to locomotion, posture, proprioception, and body kinetics begins within a few short months after birth……..”
Ressel, O,, Rudy R, Vertebral Subluxation Correlated with Somatic, Visceral and Immune Complaints: An Analysis of 650 Children Under Chiropractic Care, J. Vertebral Subluxation Res.
JVSR.Com, October 18, 2004 19
What does all that "technical" jargon mean? That when kids have subluxation that goes uncorrected, it sets a PATTERN for subluxation THE REST OF THEIR LIFE.
I am stunned. But more importantly, I'M SORRY. I have let many of you go a month, and often longer in between adjustments and made no big deal about it because even though I knew it IN MY HEART, I act out of MY HEAD most of the day.
As this is the best way to get to everyone, if you want what's best for YOU and YOUR FAMILY, do NOT go more than 2 weeks between adjustments ever again. This IS NOT a cheap trick to get you in the office so I can "take your money". If you think that's the case, then leave, and go to another Chiropractor so long as YOU DON'T MISS MORE THAN TWO WEEKS! If I truly charged for the VALUE of Chiropractic and what it has PERSONALLY done for ME and MY FAMILY, you would not be able to afford it! I only want to see you at your best, with success, for a long and healthy life.
Once again, PLEASE accept my apology for not seeing this research sooner.
If you know ANYONE with children in Mississippi PLEASE forward this to them. Mississippi is one of the FEW states left who do NOT accept a philosophical exemption for vaccinations. In other words you are FORCED to get your kids vaccinated unless you can find a doctor who will sign off.
Dr. Mike
Forwarded Message:
We have introduced a Philosophical Exemption bill again this year into the Mississippi Senate. Some of you probably remember how it all transpired last year, that despite our best effort Senator Hob Bryan of Amory was able to single handedly kill our bill in the Public Health Committee.
We have tried very hard to have our bill referred to Education, where we had talked to the chairman and been given his word that he would allow our bill a chance. But it turns out that again we have been referred to Public Health and Senator Hob Bryan.
At this point we do not have much hope of our bill getting anywhere. Senator Bryan has almost total control over which bills are taken up for a vote in his committee, and if he doesn't take up our bill, then it will die.
Our one and only chance of having our bill heard is to appeal to Lt. Governor Phil Bryant! The Lt. Governor has the power to make a committee chair take up a bill for voting.
This letter is to ask any of you who are serious about this philosophical exemption to please take 5 minutes of your time and call the Lt. Governor's office. Ask Lt. Gov. Bryan to please support Senate Bill 2662 for Vaccine Exemption. Remind him that last year, despite widespread community support and support within his committee, that Senator Hob Bryan refused to give our bill a chance in his committee, and refused to even meet with anyone from our side. We have the unique advantage that this year Lt. Gov. Bryan has announced his aspirations to run for Governor. He is going to be more open to hearing and supporting issues of the "common man" than he has ever been in years past. We've got to open his eyes to this problem, and convince him to spur Senator Hob Bryan into action!
We have been told by many of the legislators in the past that they do not always read their e-mails, so sending him one is a waste of time. If you do better on paper than you do on the phone, then please type or write up a letter and either mail it to him at P.O. Box 1018, Jackson, MS 39215, or fax it to 601-359-4054. Our best bet is calls, that way they hear our passion and we can know that our voice was heard. The phone number for Lt. Gov. Bryan's office is 601-359-3200. An aide will likely answer your call, but they communicate with the Lt. Governor and will be able to relay your message.
The deadline for this bill to be taken up is February 2. After that it will be too late. Please, take a few minutes and contact the Lt. Governor now. Unless we let him know that we want this Vaccine Exemption, and that our support for him hinges on his support for Vaccine Choice, then we are dead in the water. Hob Bryan has made it more than clear that he will not budge otherwise, and we can't afford a repeat of last year.
The need for Omega Fatty Acids in our diet used to be one for the “health guru's” but it seems today EVERYONE is on the bandwagon. Cardiologists prescribe it regularly for their patients with Blood Pressure, Cholesterol, and other diagnoses (notice I did NOT say diseases). Oncologists prescribe it for their Cancer patients. Even Pain Management Physicians prescribe it for it's incredible anti-inflammatory properties. Why is it that so many different disciplines of doctors use this simple and inexpensive treatment?
Did you know that Omega Fatty Acids make up the Cell Membrane of every cell in your body? That's right, about 70 TRILLION of them. Not to mention deriving a major portion of your BRAIN and NERVE SYSTEM as well. Quite possibly this is the most important nutrient in the whole body. Here's why.
Remember in Science class when you learned about the Cell? How each cell is a microscopic copy of the human body with ORGAN-elles providing the same functions as your body's ORGANS? How the Nucleus is the “Brain” of the cell? Well guess what, the part about the Nucleus was completely wrong.
Blasphemy...I know! Hang on, think about it. What is in the cell's Nucleus? That's correct, DNA! What correlating ORGAN in your body stores DNA for cell replication? Hmmm, not the Brain, but the Testicles and Ovaries! So if the Nucleus is not the Brain of the cell, what is?
The answer is, the Cell Membrane. It's not just a plastic bag holding all the “goo” into the cell as it turns out, no more than your skin is. It's an active organ-elle but more importantly controls ALL inter and intra-cellular communications. Cool huh?
This is why Omega balance is SO important. Unless in the right 4 to 1 ratio, the Nerve System of every cell in your body is SUBLUXATED! And taking a Fish Oil from the store usually throws you too far in the opposite direction.
The answer? Pro Omega Rx is the ONLY omega to my knowledge that is in the correct ratio, containing all the right oils in the right amount. You can pick up in the office or order online at a discounted rate from www.DrBucknell.com.
So I took my wife on a date to see “Avatar” in 3D. Have you seen it? Absolutely incredible movie. Scenery so rich it would make standing on a beach in Hawaii seem mediocre. Action and excitement so intense that it makes going to an Alabama football game seem complacent. I walked out of the theater with that strange “post experience” feel like you were somehow part of that world. Then the feeling hit. Wow, tomorrow looks boring!
I'm a big fan of entertainment, but the overwhelming of the senses has an effect of “post Hollywood depression” as you take off the 3D glasses and step back into reality. Do you know the feeling I'm describing? Maybe you get it watching a comedy, or a romance? You got it.
So how is this relevant to getting up and going in the morning? More than that, how does it apply to going at life like a mad rhino, mowing down adversity to reach your goals with pizazz?
That feeling that makes you want (or not want) to get up in the morning can all be summed up in HOPE. If one has a significant amount of hope for something, it manifests as excitement. Hollywood style excitement. Great people throughout history has created tremendous change in short periods of time. Do you think they did it by waking up in the morning and saying, “I really want to just stay in bed all day because then I wouldn't have to deal with all those difficult people and impossible problems”? Take your pick of the example and you'll see that behind their motive was a HOPE for the future. An image implanted deep in their soul of not what appears to be, not even what COULD be, but what WILL be.
Today, this week, this year, you have the opportunity to stop dwelling on what COULD be and begin to LIVE in what WILL be. You see HOPE is different than a WISH. A wish is something imaginary, yet often used as a synonym to hope. The bible doesn't describe Yeshua (Jesus) as the HOPE for mankind, not just a WISH. You see the difference in context?
So stop WISHING your dreams to come true. Where is your HOPE? What is it? Is it already TRUE in your mind? If not, make sure you get a free CD of my “Resolution to REVolution Audio Workshop”.
So a patient called my cell phone today because she just HAD to tell me what just happened. Her 5yr old had a rash develop so she took him to the pediatrician for a DIAGNOSIS. NOT for treatment, she knows better, but to find out what it was so I could tell her what to do NATURALLY for it.
So in consultation he asks about vaccinations being up to date in which she says NO. He asks why. She says for “religious reasons” (which means by definition your personal convictions not constrained by organized religious belief). He goes on to say that her son was a BIOHAZARD! She was clearly offended by that but when he used the line about cancer children etc being at risk she wasn't sure what to say. So I figured I would arm everyone with the right questions to fire back. Use at your own risk of angry scowls!
“Your child is a risk to other children”
Well if they were vaccinated then why is my child a risk?
- The point they make is self conflicting because if the vaccines worked then those children who are vaccinated should have zero risk, while the children of “ignorant” parents who don't get vaccinated should be widely available as proof that they contracted the diseases and died right? Ask if they have any case histories of this happening.
“Your child is a risk to kids with cancer (who have no immune system from chemo)”
Well if that's the case then how is the chemo good for them?
- This kind of question is clearly canned to make you feel like dirt for these poor kids who are dying. So turn the table. Those children just like yours should be under treatment that BUILDS immunity, not destroys it. The argument here is robbing Peter to pay Paul. Like taxing people to death, then saying you need to raise taxes even further on the ones who have money to give to those who you already robbed blind (sound familiar?).
“If your child is not vaccinated they're at risk of dying of these diseases”
Could you provide me with any studies that prove the vaccines cure or prevent these diseases?
- If they provide you anything, I'd love to see it!
“Your child can not be a patient if they're not up to date with their shots”
That's OK, my CHIROPRACTOR knows a doctor who will.
-Virginia: Fox News D.C.: Desiree Jennings, 26 year old redskins cheerleading hopeful and avid runner was given a SEASONAL FLU SHOT at a local grocery store because she was told it would help her immunity to the seasonal flu while she was training for a half marathon. Within ten days of receiving the flu shot, she developed the flu and began to experience seizures. Doctors diagnosed this otherwise healthy girl with Dystonia, a rare, debilitating, neurological side effect to the flu vaccine. Desiree can no longer walk, speak, or perform any function of any kind. When told she had a one in a million reaction she stated “I would have rather bought a lottery ticket.”
-Brooklyn, NY: Natural News: 6 yr. old Nikiyah Torres-Pierre, was given an H1N1 vaccine at school without her parents consent and had to be immediately rushed to the hospital. Her mother was afraid of the potential side effects the untested vaccine may have so she wouldn’t sign the consent form. School and medical officials say Nikiyah was “accidentally” given the vaccine and that “mistakes like that are rare.”
-Fargo, South Dakota: A young expectant mother (name and information withheld) was given the H1N1 vaccine in accordance to the CDC’s recommendations that all pregnant women receive the vaccine. The night she received the vaccine she began experiencing unusual cramps and the baby began to kick more than usual. At first, mom thought nothing of it. In the morning she had to be rushed to the hospital where her child
“Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country.” We've all heard this quote. Our nation is in disastrous shambles financially, emotionally, spiritually, and affecting all other aspects....in terms of HEALTH. Here's some relevant questions to ask yourself RIGHT NOW and EVERY DAY the rest of your life.
Is my diet adding to my life and energy, or is my enjoyment of guilty pleasure a lust worth fulfilling?
Is this TV show or computer worth the time I take away from what I COULD be using to PROMOTE my existence?
Am I satisfied so long as I look OK on the outside, even if my organs are SHUTTING DOWN on the inside?
If my arm hurt and my Doctor suggested I cut it off, would I do it? Then WHY would I take out an internal organ or cut on my body with such little hesitation just because they say so?
If I took 2 or 3 times as many of my drugs, what would it do to me? So is it GOOD for me at the current dose either?
My body developed from 2 CELLS to 100 TRILLION with NO HELP. Does my body really need MY outside-in help to get well, or just NO INTERFERENCE?
If I gave a vitamin, lotion, drug, etc to a DEAD body would it heal? So what MAKES them work in a LIVING body?
Is owning a nice car, a nice house, and lots of STUFF worth not investing in additional QUALITY of life?
Is my money more important than my LIVING to use it wisely? Would I even cut CHRISTMAS gifts if I could have 1 MORE CHRISTMAS DAY to spend with my family?
What MIGHT my life be like if I gave 100% of my effort to getting the MOST out of it physically, mentally, and spiritually with NO EXCUSES?
