NATURAL LAWS OF HEALTH AND HEALING WITH CHIROPRACTIC

In my career I am on a mission to help as many people as possible improve their health so they can get off damaging drugs as much as possible because all drugs have side effects. I want to give each of our patients an exciting opportunity to join in our mission to save lives by telling others the truth. I want the communities I practice in to be the healthiest places in America. I am only one person, but by having all my patients join in the effort, I can reach literally thousands of people.

I tell patients let's work together to transform the health of our entire community, one person at a time. They will thank you for years to come because you cared enough to share the gift of better health, and perhaps even save their lives in the long run. You may be the only one that can reach someone.

As I discuss health problems and how chiropractic can help, I will share with you how to improve your health naturally without dangerous drugs that damage your body with so many different side effects. Most people think health is just feeling good, or that health comes in a bottle of pills. A pill for every ill is the mindset of some people. While feeling good is important, it doesn t tell the whole story. Health is so much more than just how you feel.

You could feel good, and without any warning, drop dead of a heart attack. That happens in one third of all heart attacks. In fact, most diseases have no symptoms in the early stages. By the time you feel cancer, for example, most of the time you are in the last stages. Something as simple as high cholesterol or high blood pressure you can't feel either, unless your blood pressure is extremely high. Even back and neck problems tend to develop for years before the pain develops. I will share with you how to improve and even prevent health problems and live a longer, optimum healthy life so you don't become the next statistic.

You can take enough drugs to feel good, but does that mean you are healthy? Many people take handfuls of pain pills every day just to get by. Studies have placed the U.S. as 11th out of 11 in a comparison of industrialized nations in terms of overall healthcare performance. We were the sickest. Then why are doing so poorly with our health? One reason is we literally live on prescription and over the counter medications just suppressing symptoms and covering up health problems. The other problem is all drugs have side effects, which in many cases are more damaging than the condition you are treating. I am sure our overall diet and lack of exercise in America are also big factors in our health crisis also.

One report stated in America we are approximately 5% of the world population, yet we consume 65% of all the medication consumed in the world. We are the most over medicated country in the world. And you wonder why people drive the way they do! Perhaps it's all the drugs we take. If drugs made us healthy and we take two thirds of them, we should be the healthiest country in the world. Coming in last, nineteenth out of nineteen, is a major slap in the face to the entire medical profession in this country. We were number one in how much money we spend on healthcare, 4.4 trillion dollars in 2022, yet for all that mind numbing expenditure, we were last. On average, other large, wealthy countries spend about half as much per person on health as America. Perhaps the drugs are the contributing to our health problems more than they are helping, as you will see as I review a number of articles showing this.

The major problem is all drugs have side effects, which in many cases can become more severe than the condition you are treating. That is why the FDA stepped in and forced drug companies to include the side effects in all their ads. They insisted you can't just have people dancing thru the lilies all happy because they took the advertised medicine without warning them about all the damage it may do as well. One study stated that 90% of all kidney disease is from people taking too many pain pills during their lifetime.

People want to feel good at any cost, even if they destroy their health in the process. Feeling good doesn t mean you are healthy. So don t just assume you are healthy just because you feel good. I m on a mission to help as many people as possible improve their health and to stay healthy. That is why I am a chiropractor. I want to change as many lives as possible for the better, to give each patient hope that their health can improve if they learn the right things to do.

How do you typically evaluate how healthy you are on a daily basis? Most people base it on how they feel. If they feel good, most people assume they are generally healthy. Other measurements are how active are you able to be, what are you able to do, your overall functional capacity in terms of activities of daily living. Having normal amounts of energy and looking healthy are other ways we size up our health. All of these are important, but there is one additional one most people are not aware of.

The question you want to ask is, could you have all the positive indicators of good health just mentioned, but still have a health problem you are not aware of. In other words, could you have something wrong with your health and not know it? Lots of examples come to mind. Something as simple as high blood pressure or cholesterol, or very serious problems, such as cancer or heart problems, have no symptoms in the early stages. In fact, most diseases have no symptoms in the early stages. So if feeling good and the other indicators don't tell the whole story whether you are healthy or not, then how do you know if you are healthy?

I decided to research this, and looked up the word health in a medical dictionary. Surprisingly it didn't mention any of the things we discussed in the definition of health. It said it is a state of wholeness when all systems of the body are functioning 100%, and not the merely absence of sickness or disease. To understand true health, then investigating what controls overall functioning of the body is the key.

There are several major systems in the human body, a circulatory system, a digestive system, a respiratory system, and several others. But of all these systems, one is called the master control system. It is the one system that controls and coordinates the function of all the other systems and organs. That system is the nervous system. It controls the functioning of everything that goes on inside you, including your hormonal and immune systems. Since function is the true definition of health, and the nervous system controls all function, then it would make sense it would be a vital key to your overall health to maintain proper nerve supply to all parts of your body.

We are nervous system specialists in chiropractic, making sure optimum nerve supply flows to all your organs and body systems so you stay as healthy as possible. All health problems go thru four stages, with symptoms being the last stage. Initially there is a loss of function in an area, whether it's a vital organ, a joint, or some other part of the body. Gradually if the loss of function is not corrected, the second stage sets in, damage and degeneration begins to occur. Your body replaces millions of cells every second you are alive as cells die as part of their normal life cycle. Red blood cells live about three months, and other cells have similar life cycles. If all systems are operating properly, these cells are replaced with normal healthy cells. This is called regeneration.

If your body is disrupted in this sequence by environmental factors or due to reduced nerve impulses from a pinched nerve due to a misaligned vertebrae, the body goes from a state of normal regeneration to a state of degeneration. Once enough damage and degeneration develops, it progresses into the third stage, a disease that can be identified with various tests. Even at this point, you can still feel good, with no warning anything is going on. Then the final stage I mentioned occurs, symptoms show up. You just don't feel good, and you can tell something is wrong. You decide to finally go to the doctor and get things checked out in case it might be something serious.

The medical profession spends most of their time on stage three and four, treatment of disease and symptoms. They do very little if anything to actually keep people healthy from a wellness or prevention standpoint, unless you count putting everyone on drugs and removing healthy organs and body parts as wellness care. They are more into crisis intervention and disease management, trying to save lives after all the damage is done to a person's health. Since they cause much of the damage with side effects of the thousands of drugs on the market, it is a closed loop system creating billions of dollars in income for the medical profession. I don't think that is intentional with individual doctors, for they generally are very dedicated to helping people as much as they can. But they can only work within the healthcare system they are a part of and the tools given them by the drug industry.

They promote what they call preventative medicine with things such as annual physicals and periodic check ups to check various body functions. While these are important, is this truly practicing wellness and preventative care? Let's look at what are they really looking for. Their real focus is looking for early signs of disease before it progresses too far. Their idea of preventative medicine is actually early detection of disease. They are really not very focused on true prevention or curing disease. For example, in the last twenty to thirty years, how many diseases can you think of they have found true cures for? I can't think of any. Once you have a disease, in many cases they want you on medication the rest of your life because there is no cure. They are more into managing diseases instead of curing them. It is a multi-billion dollar business managing disease, so I don't feel there is any way the drug companies truly want to get rid of them by finding a cure.

If I were a drug company, if I could develop a drug that would cure you, or one you have to take for the rest of your life, which one would I make more money on? The rest of your life, of course! We donate billions of dollars for research to find a cure for various diseases, but we never see any real results. Where does all that money go I would like to know. They keep telling us they are right on the verge of finding a cure for this disease and that one, but nothing ever seems to comes of it. For decades people have been donating money to find a cure for cancer, but still there are record numbers of deaths every year. Perhaps we are looking in the wrong direction. For over one hundred years our profession has been telling people how to get healthy and prevent disease, and millions have listened and enjoyed much healthier lives as a result.
