“Pharmaceutical False Start”

Spike a fever – run for some Tylenol.  Get an ear infection – dash for an antibiotic.  Big Pharma wants us to race for a drug every time a symptom or illness challenges us.  But is it better to let your body run its own race without interference from the drug companies? Research reported in the Journal of Leukocyte Biology found evidence that elevated body temperature helps immune cells work harder to fight colds and the flu – so much for lowering fevers with Tylenol.  Still yet another study from the journal Pediatrics reports doctors write over 10 million UNNECESSARY prescriptions for antibiotics every year, dangerously raising the risk of antibiotic resistant infections for society as a whole. Chiropractor's acknowledge that symptoms are your body's attempt to save itself… not the start of a 100 yard dash to CVS.  Current best practice is to wait for natural responses like fever and inflammation to do their job, instead of 'false starting' with drugs and interfering with what nature knows best.  As long as you're in adjustment (clear Nerve System), your body will innately know how to run its own healing race.

Clark Needs a Good Adjustment!

It's a classic holiday movie scene. Clark Griswold stands with bated breath and extension cords in hand as a childlike giddiness overtakes him.  The family drum roll commences, he makes the much anticipated electrical connection and VOILA… nothing happens. Clark has a power problem.  Although the extension cords are all connected and each individual Christmas light has been inspected with precision, he's still not connected to the source.  It isn't until his wife 'adjusts' an obscure switch in the garage, and turns the main POWER back on that the light show begins.  She'd actually make a good Chiropractor! If your wiring (nerve system) is connected and your body parts have all been dutifully inspected by the best doctor in the world, you still won't function to your potential if you're not connected 100% to your source… the Life creating power that flows from above, down, inside, out.  Make sure you and your family stay connected to it with regular Chiropractic care during this bustling holiday season.  You glow brighter when your power switch is on.

“Patience: Healing Zone Ahead”

Construction zones are hectic.  Traffic congestion, safety cones guarding hazardous areas and heavy equipment buzzing everywhere.  It’s amazing anything gets done amid the chaos.  But underneath that chaos isorganization:  A team of skilled engineers and contractors carefully working the plan until it reaches completion.  It's similar when you heal under Chiropractic care.

Like a construction zone, organic healing with Chiropractic can appear disorganized and chaotic at times.  You might see an improvement in unrelated aspects of your health before your chief complaints begins to respond.  But like the construction zone, behind the scene is a sophisticatedinnate wisdom inside you, moving the process forward with a mastery beyond comprehension.

Sometimes care feels like 'stop and go traffic.'  But be patient.  Amid the chaos, healing is happening – with precision and patience, the job is getting done.  You’ve got the right plan (Chiropractic Care) and the best engineer (Innate Intelligence) working for you.

“It Starts with a Solid Foundation”

A house built on a strong foundation, lasts.  The same goes for your health. If you want a healthy body for Life, you need to start with a solid foundation of health care that can support it for a long time. Chiropractic's foundation is its Principle which acknowledges we all posses an intelligent, vitalistic force within us that maintains our existence and keeps our bodies working in perfect order.  When this Power is allowed to express itself 100%, we have health.  When the Power is interfered with, we have Dis-Ease.  Eating properly is important, and so is exercise… but if the Power doesn't flow, your house will crumble. Health built on a foundation of drug therapy is risky and cannot stand for long.  Health built on a foundation that supports the innate wisdom of the body, can weather any storm.  What foundation is your health standing on?

“Garbage in Your Nerve System”

What would happen if your garbage didn’t get picked up for a few weeks? Your house would get pretty stinky wouldn't it?  The same can be said foryou, if your Nerve System garbage isn't dumped regularly too.

Physical, chemical and emotional stresses that accumulate in your Nerve System are called Subluxations (Chiropractic term for nerve interference).  If not cleared regularly, stress from Subluxations can spill over into your body and cause poor sleep, fatigue, weakened immunity, chronic pains, anxiety or poor digestion.

People who keep their Nerve System 'clean' with regular Chiropractic adjustments report having more energy, better recovery from injuries and an improved state of mind.  If you’re feeling sluggish, weak and bogged down, maybe it’s time to dump your nerve system garbage.

Flu Shots and Airport Security

When anything other than food enters your body, it gets 'screened' in the mucous membranes of your nose, mouth and gut with suspicion and rejected if necessary… like TSA Agents screening luggage for dangerous materials before they're allowed on a plane.  Sneezing, runny noses and coughs are your body's natural way of preventing harmful dust, germs and foreign chemicals from 'getting on board.'

When you INJECT foreign virus material and chemicals from a flu shot directly into your body, this natural innate screening process is bypassed and hazardous materials are allowed to pass freely into secure areas, like your blood stream and soft tissues.  The potential for trouble begins.


How comfortable would you feel getting on a plane knowing the bags didn't get X-Rayed first? If your answer is 'not very comfortable' then consider how safe your body feels when chemicals in the flu shot like Mercury (in the form of Thimerisol), Formaldehyde and Glycol are allowed bypass your body's check-in and go for a ride inside you.  There are safer, natural ways to protect yourself from the flu this year.  Ask your Chiropractor how.

“Clocks and Chiropractic…”

LESS LIGHT!   OK, I can hear all the groaning… we're really stretching it this time.  But in some way this statement is true. The primary purpose of Chiropractic is to locate and correct subluxations.  When you break the word down into it's roots,  SUB-LUX-ATION you get this…

"SUB" – means less than, or lower than normal
"LUX" – is latin for LIGHT and
"ATION" – is a state of being, or a condition

The literal definition of subluxation is a state or condition of less LIGHT or power than normal.  Subluxations occur when spinal bones mis-align and restrict the normal flow of “light” through the spinal cord and nerves.  The effect… your body gets less of the Life energy or “light” it needs from the nerve system to maintain health and vitality.

When Chiropractors locate and correct subluxations, they're removing blockages to the light so it can flow freely through your nerve system, illuminating every cell, tissue and organ in your body.  If sub-lux-ations produce darkness in your health, Chiropractic adjustments bring EN-LIGHTEN-MENT.

So don’t let the shorter, darker days get you down.  Fall back into a healthy Chiropractic routine and keep your nerve system lit up.  Life is brighter when you’re subluxation free.
