1 out of 3 people over 65 fall each year

1 out of 3 people over 65 fall each year – 13,700 fatalities, 1.8 million to ER – Once a fall occurs there’s a 50% chance of another fall within 6 months (from a CDC report).

A great argument for the importance of good posture, spinal hygiene and of course Chiropractic care. You might not be over 65 but you might know someone who would benefit from having their nerve system balanced to help them stay balanced.

What does the world look like through Chiropractic colored glasses?

You have probably heard of ‘rose colored’ glasses. What does the world look like through Chiropractic colored glasses?  Does your health shine brighter… are your relationships with friends and family more in focus…  is your job performance sharper and crisper?

You 'see' everything through your nerve system – how you feel, how you interact with the people around you, how you react to your environment, how you perform at home or at work.  When your nerves are stressed, the line between barely existing and fully living is blurred.  However, the more clear your nerve system, the better your ability to interact physically, mentally and spiritually with the world around you; and ultimately the better your quality of Life.

When a Chiropractor adjusts the stress from your nerve system, it's like cleaning the dirt, streaks and smudges from the lens through which you interpret your world – and with a clear lens you can see all  your potential.

 Life is vibrant when you're viewing it through Chiropractic glasses.

The subluxation is in danger!

Re-Boot you nerve system with chiropractic

Have you ever had to restart your PC after the hard drive froze?  You hit 'Control+Alt+Delete' to reboot the operating system and get everything running smoothly again.  Your human computer (Nerve System) needs a periodic rebooting too.

Your Nerve System gets overwhelmed from daily stress.  An urgent work deadline, unexpected family crisis or any inconvenient change in your routine are unsolicited stresses (spyware or a virus) that bog down your nerves.  The result – your body slows down, runs sluggish and eventually "freezes up" with an illness.  Getting a Chiropractic adjustment is like hitting the Control+Alt+Delete buttons.  It clears your Nerve System of unwanted stress and gets you running fast again.

The stress our grandparents experienced in a week, today we get in just 24 hours!  If you're not purging the tension or emptying the trash from the ‘recycle bin’ of your Nerve System on a regular basis, your hard drive could crash.  Get 'rebooted' routinely with Chiropractic care and stay ahead of the failure.

Chiropractic and Forward Head Position

For every inch that the head moves forward in posture, it increases the weight of the head on the neck by 10 pounds!

Poor neck posture leads to a Forward Head Position which is one of the most common causes of neck, head and shoulder tension and pain.

This can be a result of injuries like sprains and strains of the neck leading to weak neck muscles, poor sleeping positions and the illustrated examples of driving stress,

computer neck, couch neck, text neck and readers neck

along with improper breathing habits.

The extra pressure on the neck from altered posture flattens the normal curve of the cervical spine resulting in abnormal strain of muscles, ligaments, bones and joints of the neck causing the joints to deteriorate faster than normal resulting in degenerative joint disease or neck arthritis as indicated in an article published in the Spine Journal, recognized internationally as the leading journal in its field and the leading subspecialty journal for the treatment of spinal disorders, 1986;6:591-694.

Chiropractic on the show "The Doctors"

Dr. Fabrizio Mancini, President of Parker College of Chiropractic discusses chiropractic on the show "The Doctors"

The goal of Chiropractic care is 100% coverage of neurotrophic Life energy

You're proud of your lawn. You water it, feed it on schedule and 'try' to keep the neighborhood kids off of it. But you missed a few spots with the fertilizer spreader and now dull, brown patches where the grass was STARVED of potential growth energy begin to show. A similar situation can happen 'inside' you.

All the cells, organs and tissues that make up your body need an even distribution of neurotrophic (Life sustaining 'fertilizer') energy from your Nerve System in order to flourish and grow. If parts of your body are deprived of this energy, likewise you'll develop dull brown patches (dis-ease) on your internal lawn.

 Chiropractors refer to it as being 'Subluxated.'

The goal of Chiropractic care is 100% coverage of neurotrophic Life energy in your body – and that's achieved by keeping your Nerve System clear of blockages at the spinal level.

 If you don't want to see, feel or maybe not even know about hidden ugly, brown, weak patches in your health, stay EVEN and consistent with your Chiropractic care.

Dr. David Stewart gave a wonderful presentation on the "Everyday Essential Oils" and some of their uses, at my home this past Saturday. Besides all of the other great things he has done in his life, he is pretty good at the ivory's.  He gave Fran and I a private piano concert. 

Here is just a bit of his playing. The tune is "Dizzy Fingers"

Oh, by the way! I will be having another essential oils presentation on Saturday May 5th. This presentation will be on the Thieves oil products. The meeting will again be at my home in Wentzville at 2 PM

I was searching the web for some information about epigenetics

 (kind of like "plastic DNA", an entry to be coming your way soon)

 and found this very interesting article titled:

"Does Voting Make Epigenetic Changes?"

How's your chemistry?

“Unwind with Chiropractic…”

Ever feel 'wound up' from the stresses of life? You feel tight and distorted, like a rubber

band that's been twisted to the brink of snapping? That tension you're feeling isn't in your head… it's actually in your Nerve System.

The constant, never ending stress of life builds tension in your nerves like an over twisted rubber band that robs you of experiencing the fullness of Life. Chiropractors refer to this state as being 'Subluxated.' If you don't regularly purge this tension from your nerves, it builds silently until a physical or emotional crisis manifests. The solution… release the tension with preventative Chiropractic care, and get control of your Life again!

Chiropractic care gently removes stress from your spine and spinal cord before a critical failure can occur. This is one 'rubber band' you need to keep clear! Unwind your stress with regular Chiropractic adjustments and start experiencing the tension free Life you were born to have.

"Chirocode Alerts"

It outlines pros and cons about the Healthcare issue currently being discussed by the Supreme Court. 

PPACA AND THE “SUPREMES”—THE WAIT BEGINS

April 9, 2012, 7:54 PM Depending on your political persuasion, the period between now and June will be a time of nail-biting over the fate of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Acts (PPACA). Proponents of health care reform worry that the fruits of their lengthy and expensive fight will be will be overturned and wasted. Opponents to PPACA, which they generally refer to as “ObamaCare,” fear it will take the form of a heavy yoke, which they see as hanging above health care industry, waiting to descend and crush health care as we know it under the weight of a clumsy and burdensome Federal government. In June, the Court will release its findings, and PPACA will enter a new phase. There are hints, but no certainties, about what will happen when the Justices rule one way or the other. Unfortunately, it has taken less than a week for the fur to start to fly. President Obama recently made a speech in which he told the audience that it would be without precedent for the Supreme Court to overturn a law passed by an elected body such as Congress. The Court replied that it overrules laws that are of weak constitution all the time. As this ChiroCode Alerts went to press, Judge Jerry Smith, of the Federal Appeals Court in Houston, went so far as to request that a Federal attorney prepare and submit a three-page single-spaced letter spelling out the government's understanding of the authority of the Supreme Court and its Judicial Review, in light of Obama's comments. The tension is escalating. If the Supreme Court overturns the PPACA, the issue will likely hinge on the portion called the “Individual Mandate,” which will require everyone to either purchase health insurance or else pay a fine (or a tax, depending on who is speaking). The test is whether or not the government has the constitutional authority to force its citizens to buy something that they may not want. One key issue is that of severability—the ability to break the law into smaller, valid pieces if one portion is ruled to be unconstitutional. Somehow, severability was not included in the Acts. No one knows why. If the Individual Mandate is found to be unconstitutional there is doubt that the rest of PPACA can be separated from it. It could all fall together.  But there is a second problem. Without the Mandate, persons who are healthy may avoid buying insurance until they become sick. Those who are in immediate need of health care would likely not be able to generate enough premiums to fund the cost of their care without healthy people also paying premiums to distribute the risk. So without the Mandate, there are doubts that PPACA is workable.  There is a third problem. Several key benefits of PPACA have already been rolled out, such as rules that prohibit third-party payers from excluding children in insured families from coverage if these children have serious health conditions. There is no consensus of how to roll these things back. Insurance companies may face untenable risk. Finally, some proposals in PPACA may be desirable. For instance, in 2015, it will be illegal for insurers to deny coverage to a patient that enters the plan who has pre-existing conditions that will be expensive to cover. These patients are likely to require services in the short term. Without the legal requirement imposed by the PPACA to cover these patients, it will be very difficult for them to obtain insurance coverage. This baby is thus thrown out with the bathwater.   The Court could, of course, rule in favor of PPACA, or determine some acceptable points of severability. This remains to be seen. As the rhetoric increases, however, there is a danger of polarizing the nation, moving a debate about the future of health care into a debate about political philosophy, and perhaps ultimately, race. This could lead to “a long, hot summer”, in which tempers may flare.

You walk into your Chiropractor's office, hop on a table and point to where it hurts.  But the Chiropractor adjusts a totally different part of your spine… not even close to where you feel the pain.  Why is that?   

There's an old saying that goes when you step on a dog's tail, it barks out the other end.  In Chiropractic, that means where you hurt (the bark) isn't necessarily where the problem is (the tail).  Many times the symptom you feel in one area is due to  a remote cause.  For example, someone with sciatica may feel pain down their leg, but the cause of the problem is a Vertebral Subluxation in their spine. 

Chiropractors know that if you address the cause of the symptom, the body will no longer have  need to produce it.  That's why Chiropractors focus on fixing underlying problems and not superficial effects.  Chasing after symptoms is like a dog chasing its own tail – spinning around and around until it gets dizzy, confused and frustrated. Fun to watch but don't you feel sorry for that poor dog. Don't 'laugh' at someone in pain chasing their tail.  It's much smarter to address the underlying cause from the start.

Just an update to Dr. Dave Stewart's presentation on April 21st in Wentzville.

 

He will be discussing the use of the 'Everyday Oils' from Young Living.

There are 9 different oils. Five blends and four single oils.

One blend, Purification, when diffused, helps clean the air. The blend Valor works with physical and spiritual aspects of the body. Peace & Calming, well, it helps with tension and stress. Thieves blend has been proven to kill bacteria. Panaway is a blend that can provide comforting warmth to sore achy muscles.

Peppermint oil is known to help with digestive problems. Lemon oil is purifying. Lavender oil is great for skin. Frankincense oil, the list is very long concerning the benefits of this oil.

 

We look forward to hearing Dr. Stewart explain these and many many more benefits of the use of these 'Everyday Essential Oils'

Please remember to RSVP as space might be limited.

We also got to spent some time with Marcella Von Harting and her husband Jim. Pardon the 'shaky' quality of the photograph. Dave Stewart wasn't use to taking a picture with my cell phone.

If you are not familiar with Marcella, she is a Crown Diamond, the highest level, with Young Living Essential Oils. Marcella has co-authored several books including“ “Yes, No, Maybe” Chronobiotic Nutrition” with G.I. Atom Bergstrom and the book “Guerrilla Multilevel Marketing” with Jay Conrad Levinson and James Dillehay, and has been featured on CNN. She has also authored The Harting Training System Book and Aromatic Essential Cards.


I was fortunate to be able to spend time training with Marcella a few months ago in Baton Rouge. Dr. Dave Stewart was also there. They both shared volumes of information about the use of essential oils. We all went out to dinner afterwards to 'Don's Seafood' in Denham Springs just outside of Baton Rouge. We all had a great time. Dave was kind enough to share his fresh raw oysters with me, my first time with raw oysters. I must say, I enjoyed them a lot more than I thought I would.

Fran and I went to the D. Gary Young Foundation event in St. Louis called 'Awaken to Healthy Living' Their mission statement..
"The D. Gary Young Foundation purpose is to Educate, Awaken, and Inspire individuals to love, honor and live a healthy lifestyle."

Dr. Lin, a medical researcher from Oklahoma University (http://www.healthsymposium.com/speakers/95) shared his latest cancer research finding involving sacred frankincense.
The St. Louis community recently had the opportunity to hear Dr. Lin, a medical researcher, share some of his latest findings using essential oils in cancer research. Dr. Lin described to his audience of health professionals how frankincense oil destroyed bladder cancer cells. His research discovered that the oil of frankincense suppressed cancer cell growth and then triggered bladder cancer cell death by activating several cell death pathways. It was an exciting day for the audience to hear whom they support with their donations to the D. Gary Young Foundation.

I have the privilage of hosting Dr. David Stewart for a presentation on 'Everyday Essential Oils' on

Saturday April 21, 2012 at 2PM.

The event will take place in my home in Wentzville.

This is an RSVP event so I can be sure to have enough room.
