Enjoy
the summer
Relax, have fun, get plenty of sun, take hikes,
laugh, do something different, explore, search for wonder
and enjoy life. That's what summer is for (every season
actually)!
And remember to stop in for a chiropractic checkup so you
can enjoy it all to the best of your abilities. Bring the
family. Chiropractic wakes up your body, sends energy over
your nerves and brain and invigorates your senses.

Do
not silence your inner voice
Your body is intelligent and filled with many wondrous mechanisms
designed to keep you alive and healthy.
These mechanisms include symptoms such as pain, rash, fever,
diarrhea, vomiting and others. Although unpleasant, these
symptoms help your body heal, cleanse and restore itself to
balance and harmony.
|
Symptoms tell us the body is struggling to regain balance
and restore itself. If we suppress our symptoms (prevent them
from doing their job) with medications and/or surgery the
result can be harmful because illness may never leave but
rather be driven deeper.
John Upledger, DO tells this story:
|
|
|
"A friend
and general surgeon with more than thirty years experience once
confided to me that, in retrospect, he felt the majority of
surgical procedures he had performed might be classified as
excisions of the 'vocal apparatuses' of the inner
selves of the patients. He meant that by removing certain
organs or tissues, he was eliminating the bodily voices that
were attempting to communicate the presence of deeper emotional
or spiritual problems in need of attention." (1)
What's the best way to deal with uncomfortable symptoms?
Work with them! Let them do their job. In their wake you'll
be a healthier, stronger person. Chiropractors, by correcting
subluxations, permit your body to function at its optimum
so it may fully express its symptoms to burn off poisons,
eliminate infection, cleanse, rest, rejuvenate and heal.
While medicine uses drugs to suppress symptoms, chiropractic
promotes symptom expression. Chiropractic helps support your
body's cleansing processes (symptoms), which are its
self-healing mechanisms.
When we take drugs to suppress our aches, pains, fever and
other uncomfortable symptoms we are silencing our inner voices.
Rather, we each need to increase our sensitivity to it. It
is constantly whispering to our every cell leading us toward
greater wholeness, fulfillment and healing so we may enjoy
a long, healthy, happy, loving life.
Wake up and pay attention to the small, subtle signs of physical
or mental dis-ease now so your body and mind won't have
to use serious illness to get your attention later. Listen
to your heart. Observe your dreams. Often the best indicator
of ill health or dis-ease is your own intuition.
Look for the subtle clues now. Practice health optimization
now rather than disease treatment later. Don't wait
- do it now while you still have the energy and the
will to act.

The
deadly influence of
baby formula in America
Breastfeeding is growing in popularity and this groundbreaking
analysis from noted author, health educator and advocate Dr.
Linda Folden Palmer may be a rude awakening for the millions
of Americans who still buy into the myth that infant formula
is a safe breast milk substitute.
|
|
 |
Dr. Palmer compared
the death rates of formula-fed and breast-fed babies and found
that using formula DOUBLES THE DEATH RATE for American infants.

| YOU
KNOW YOU ARE LIVING IN 2008 when... 1. You
accidentally enter your password on the microwave.
2. You haven't played solitaire with real cards in years.
3. You have a list of 15 phone numbers to reach your family
of 3.
4. You e-mail the person who works at the desk next to you.
5. Your reason for not staying in touch with friends and
family is that they don't have e-mail addresses.
6. You pull up in your own driveway and use your cell phone

your coffee.

a #9 on this list
AND NOW YOU ARE LAUGHING at yourself.

Words of Wisdom
Only a strong man can stand up to his fate for his
inner security enables him to endure to the end. The strength shows
itself in uncompromising truthfulness with himself. It is only when
we have the courage to face things exactly as they are without any
sort of self-deception or illusion that a light will develop out
of events, by which the path to success will be recognized. -

Chiropractic and spinal research
A 9-year-old female with diabetes mellitus, hypothyroidism and
vertebral subluxations was experiencing hypoglycemic episodes and
sleep disturbance. She received chiropractic care to correct her
subluxations. Mother reported decreased need for insulin, decreased
frequency of hypoglycemic episodes and improvement in sleeping pattern.
Control of blood glucose levels was achieved and stabilization of
the amount of insulin needed per day was reported. (3)

Coronary bypass increases risk of Alzheimer's
A study presented on July 20, 2004 at the International
Conference on Alzheimer's disease and Related Disorders
in Philadelphia says that patients undergoing coronary artery
bypass grafting (CABG) for blocked heart arteries run a higher
risk of developing Alzheimer's disease than patients undergoing
the less invasive angioplasty procedure.
Doctor of Cause
Chiropractors spend thousands of hours studying
how to locate and correct a major cause of stress and body malfunction
(or dis-ease): the subluxation complex. Subluxations are areas
of stress inside your body that interfere with your internal communications
causing body/mind disharmony. Subluxations lead to lowered resistance
to disease, inefficient body function, altered chemistry, distorted
posture and balance, accelerated aging and premature death.
Without subluxations your natural healing wisdom,
your innate intelligence or inner doctor, can function more efficiently.
The initials DC stand for Doctor of Chiropractic, but to many
it also stands for "Doctor of Cause."
Even the government acknowledges mercury
(silver) dental fillings
damage health
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Silver-colored metal dental fillings contain
mercury that may cause health problems in pregnant women, children
and fetuses, the Food and Drug Administration said on Wednesday
after settling a related lawsuit…. Charles Brown, a lawyer
for Consumers for Dental Choice, said the agency's move represented
an about-face. "Gone, gone, gone are all of FDA's claims
that no science exists that amalgam is unsafe," he said in
a statement. (2)
"Silver" amalgam (which is really about
50% mercury) is linked to MS, Parkinson's, depression, dementia,
Alzheimer's, chronic fatigue, exhaustion, immune system
weakness, infection, heart disease, cancer, arthritis and many
other diseases. We recommend never having it put in your mouth
and instead insist on your dentist using white composites which
are readily available and much safer than mercury (silver) fillings.
Dentists especially trained in natural, non-toxic
methods are referred to as biological or holistic dentists and
can be located via an internet search.
