I was talking with a patient this morning, and as she was explaining the stress in her life to me I realized that many people have not heard the full story on stress, how the body responds to it, and what it does to their bodies over time. This is another conversation I have daily, so I wanted to share it with you. First, I will tell you a story about a stressful event, and then we will break it down afterward.
This has to be one of the top 10 questions that all doctors hear on a daily basis. It is actually a troubling question to answer, because if the doctor says “yes,” then the patient is not empowered to change their health, and responsibility moves from the patient to the doctor. Keep in mind that this problem may have taken years to develop, and the doctor is expected to provide a “fix” rather quickly. Of course the doctor wants to say “yes,” but to do so would rob the patient of the key to change their health, and would create an unhealthy co-dependent relationship between the patient (broken) and the doctor (fixer).
Here are some interesting must-read articles by the medical community about the medical community. This first one entitled “Exploring the Harmful Effects of Health Care” states that:
On balance, the data remain imprecise, and the benefits that US health care currently deliver may not outweigh the aggregate health harm it imparts. Health care contributes only about 10% toward reducing premature death.¹
They aren’t even sure if they are breaking even! Let us cross reference that with the study “Death by Medicine,” written by MD’s and PhD’s:
Medicine is a leading cause of death in U.S. The estimated annual mortality of medical intervention is 783,936 lives and the economic cost is $282 billion.²
Why We Adjust Kids
Being born is hard work, for momma and for baby. Add that in to all the slips, falls, and bumps that are experienced in infancy and toddlerhood and subluxations (i.e. nervous system interferences) are likely to result. Because of this we have non-invasive, objective technology to check the integrity of your child’s nervous system. Since the nervous system controls all functions of your body, it is imperative that it function optimally to make sure that your child grows and develops to their full potential.

Choosing healthy foods now called a mental disorder
This is how sick and twisted things are becoming. It’s called “Healthy Eating Disorder,” and it states that people are nervous about proper eating and making wise choices, and in eating well, they become malnourished. They would rather you fill yourself up with chemicals, put no thought into what you are doing, and continue buying all the crap that is out there for you to consume. (more…)
Common heartburn drugs are under fire, as a series of studies from the Archives of Internal Medicine released on Monday demonstrating serious side effects such as increase in fractures and bacterial infections.
Collectively, these drugs are called proton pump inhibitors, but they are better known as Nexium (AstraZeneca), Prilosec (AstraZeneca), Protonix (Pfizer), and Prevacid (Takeda). These medicines have a total U.S. sales of 13.9 billion annually, as an estimated 113 million prescriptions are filled each year. Dr. Michael Katz, director for the San Francisco Department of Public Health, states that 60 to 70 percent of people taking proton pump inhibitors do not need to be on them. This problem is augmented by people being unaware of the risk until now. (more…)
God made our bodies as a phenomenally complex grouping of nerves, muscles, joints, and bones that intimately work together to achieve Motion. This is why we say that Motion is Life, and is the key to maintaining a high quality of life and feeling youthful. (more…)
We will begin by addressing Stress, which is at the root of most health problems. Stress has 3 dimensions, but interestingly enough they each affect your body in the same way.
1.Physical Stress – Car accident, repetitive injury, poor posture, exercise
2.Biochemical Stress – what you eat, what you drink, pollutants, skin products
3.Psychological Stress – the emotional aspect – work, home, financial (this is how you can “think yourself sick.”) (more…)
Chiropractic accurately described by long-term patient, Bill Esteb (owner, http://patientmedia.com)
“Patients (and insurance carriers) see chiropractors as spine doctors. Both look through the allopathic (medical) lens of symptom treating, seeing the body as a collection of parts that breakdown independently of the others and that being symptom-free is the objective.
Conversely, chiropractors who practice in a way congruent with the principles of chiropractic see themselves as facilitators, guides and allies. Their holistic view of the body helps them appreciate that each of us is greater than the sum of our parts. Each of us is an experiment of one and that the objective of care is to help patients adapt to their environment and express their fullest potential.” — Bill Esteb. (more…)
At each moment, you are either moving towards health & wellness and away from sickness and disease, or you are moving towards sickness & disease and away from health and wellness. If your determination is that you are moving the wrong way, then let this be a wake up call for you. (more…)
