Chiropractic Care Summerville, South Carolina

How can you see someone who’s constantly getting sick and building disease and not refer them in?

How can you go to work everyday and listen to your co-workers complain how sick and miserable they are and not refer them in?

How can you go to a restaurant and over hear the woman at the next table say, “how sick her child is,” and not refer her in?

How can you go to church every Sunday and watch all these people depressed and suffering and not refer them in?

How can you go to Christmas with your family and hear your sister or brother talk about all the drugs their giving their children and not refer them in?

How can you not refer more people in knowing that every year:

911,000 people die of heart disease!

800,000 people die of cancer!

1,000,000 people die from medical errors!

Only 1 person out of 1000 lives to 60 in great health!

How can you let others live in the medical model, taking dangerous medications, building disease, waiting until they have cancer or heart disease to take care of themselves and not refer them in?

How can you let others inject themselves or their children with dangerous vaccines which are known to destroy the immune system and create disease and not refer them in?

We can’t sit by anymore and let anyone live a life of sickness, suffering, depression, and disease, knowing we can help!

That’s why starting January 1^st we will be speaking at more groups, businesses and organizations, doing more phone consultations and having more events so we can get to each and every person we can, so they can live the best possible life God created for them!

We hear the babies crying, we see the people suffering, and we see the future for every person not living in our Maximized Living Model and now YOU see it TOO!

After a successful pilot test, Take Care Health Systems LLC will open 10 health clinics in Kansas City-area Walgreens in the summer. Take Care, a privately held health care startup based in Conshohocken, Pa., said in August that it would test its clinic-in-a-drugstore concept in six Kansas City-area Osco Drug stores and 10 Rite Aid pharmacies in Portland, Ore. Since then, three of the 10 Portland-area clinics have closed. But nine Take Care clinics have been launched in Kansas City-area Osco stores, and all remain open.

The clinics’ success here prompted Take Care’s announcement Tuesday that it and the Walgreen Co. (NYSE: WAG) will partner to open 10 clinics in the Kansas City market and 10 in the St. Louis market in the summer. Walgreen, the nation’s largest pharmacy chain, said it also will partner with InterFit Health’s RediClinics and Pinnacle Health System on in-store clinics in other markets later this year. “By partnering with these companies, we can improve health care delivery by making it more convenient and affordable for patients with common ailments,” Don Huonker, Walgreens vice president of pharmacy services, said in a release. “The services offered by our in-store clinics will complement care provided by the patient’s primary-care physician.”

Peter Miller, co-founder and president of Take Care Health Systems, said recently that the company planned to roll out the concept to hundreds of clinics in dozens of cities within five years. “Once we understand some of the issues we’re going to face in the marketplace, we have every intention of expanding very quickly,” said Miller, formerly president of Johnson & Johnson subsidiary Janssen Pharmaceutica Products LP. In Portland, the company found that some clinics were too close to one another and were underperforming, Take Care Marketing Manager Lauren Tierney said. Apparently, investors have been satisfied with the corrective measurers. In March, Take Care said, it raised $77 million in a second-round financing deal — the largest sum raised in the health care services industry in the past two years.

Ever since Walgreens and Eckerd (Wackerds) started opening up buildings on every corner in America, I’ve been very worried. Like the article above, it’s clear that this is for profit and not the good of mankind. Wackerds doesn’t make their billions selling batteries, pens, and bottled water. They make it selling drugs. And, if you recall from your Doctors Report, drugs are far and away the leading cause of death in the United States as well as the leading cause of kidney, liver, and heart failure and the number one cause of hospitalization (2.2mil/year). Now, with clinics being located right inside of Walgreens and I’m sure Eckerd can’t be far behind, they can now dispense disaster and death even faster.

We’re hopeful that by being a Maximized Living person vs. being a “medical person” you’ll decide to cause WAG stock to plummet by limiting your drug intake through better living and chiropractic as well as telling others to do the same. Let’s save the world together!

and to do it without shots…

The best way to fight infections such as colds and the flu is to keep your immune system strong. That is enough to get you well and keep you well. That’s easier said than done in a society bombarded with commercials and advertisements informing you of the many products available that promise to relieve your symptoms and discomfort.

Hopefully by now you understand that the use of antibiotics and fever fighting medications weakens your immune system – exactly opposite of the outcome you want. Other medications considered to be safe, such as over the counter cold and flu remedies, have been linked with strokes and colon problems.

Chiropractic Influence on Oxidative Stress and DNA Repair

There is a growing body of evidence that wellness care provided by doctors of chiropractic may reduce health care costs, improve health behaviors, and enhance patient perceived quality of life. Until recently, however, little was known about how chiropractic adjustments affected the chemistry of biological processes on a cellular level. In a landmark study published this week in the Journal of Vertebral Subluxation Research (JVSR), chiropractors collaborating with researchers at the University of Lund found that chiropractic care could influence basic physiological processes affecting oxidative stress and DNA repair. These findings offer a scientific explanation for the positive health benefits reported by patients receiving chiropractic care.

The researchers measured serum thiol levels in 21 patients under short-term chiropractic care and 25 patients under long-term chiropractic care. The results were compared to those of a non-chiropractic treated control group of 30 subjects. Long-term chiropractic care of two or more years was shown to re-establish a normal physiological state independent of age, sex, or nutritional supplements. Symptom-free or primary wellness subjects under chiropractic care demonstrated higher mean serum thiol levels than patients with active disease, and produced some values that were higher than normal wellness values.Serum thiols are primary antioxidants, and serve as a measure of human health status. The test provides a surrogate estimate of DNA repair enzyme activity, which has been shown to correlate with lifespan and aging.

Dr. Christopher Kent, one of the authors explained, “Going through life, we experience physical, chemical, and emotional stress. These stresses affect the function of the nervous system. We hypothesized that these disturbances in nerve function could affect oxidative stress and DNA repair on a cellular level.”

“Oxidative stress, metabolically generating free radicals, is now a broadly accepted theory of how we age and develop disease,” Kent continued. “Oxidative stress results in DNA damage, and inhibits DNA repair. DNA repair is the mechanism which fixes the damage caused by environmental impact.”Chiropractors apply spinal adjustments to correct disturbances of nerve function. “Chiropractic care appears to improve the ability of the body to adapt to stress,” continued Kent. “Further research is needed to gain additional insights that will ultimately lead to improved clinical outcomes,” he said.

The study was a collaborative involving Camgen, Inc. of Victoria, B.C. Canada; Chiropractic Leadership Alliance in Mahwah, NJ; Biomedical Diagnostic Research, LLC in Chesterland, Ohio; and Department of Cell and Molecular Biology of Tumor Immunology, University of Lund, Sweden.

JVSR is a peer-reviewed scientific journal devoted to subluxation-based chiropractic research affiliated with the World Chiropractic Alliance (WCA), an international organization representing doctors of chiropractic. WCA promotes the traditional, drug-free and non-invasive form of chiropractic as a means of correcting vertebral subluxations that cause nerve interference.

You don’t see it a whole lot in real life, but in the movies we’ve all seen Russian Roulette -where someone sticks a bullet in one of the 6 chambers, points it at their head or someone else’s, spins the chamber, and then pulls the trigger. No matter how many times I see this, the emotion is overwhelming and I flinch just like the person on film when you here the “click” -happy it’s not the “BAM!”

The truth is, in real life, you and many you love play Russian Roulette every day. The difference is how many bullets are in their gun. You can put in none, one, three, four, or all six.

If you or your child is overweight or obese research shows there are two bullets in the gun!

“Being obese triples the risk of heart disease, as well as produces a tenfold increase in the chance of developing diabetes.” -ABC News, December 22, 2004

“A prospective study of 527,265 American men and women, who were 50 to 71 years old when the study started, found that being overweight at midlife (age 50) increased the risk of death by up to 30%.” -New England Journal of Med, 8/24/06

If you are taking medications there are two bullets in the gun!

“The conventional medical system is the LEADING cause of death in this country.” “2 people die every minute living in the medical model” -www.lef.org

“Medication mistakes injure well over 1.5 million Americans every year in hospitals alone. A hospitalized patient is subject to at least one medication error per day.

-7/21/06 Associated Press -CNN, NY Times Report

If you are subluxated research shows (but it’s probably much higher) there are two bullets in the gun! Subluxations are misalignments, losses, and increases in the curves of the spine that damage the spinal cord and nervous system.

Research shows that a loss of the cervical curve, and increase in the thoracic curve, or scoliosis all increase mortality (speed up death) and takes up to 14 years off your life. -1″Spine” Volume 30(21), November 1, 2005 pp. 2388-2392 revealed work done by Shimizu, Kentaro MD; Nakamura, Masaya MD; Nishikawa, Yuji MD; Hijikata, Sadahisa MD; Chiba, Kazuhiro MD; Toyama, Yoshiaki MD. 2 J Bone Joint Surg Am-1981 Une 63 (5): 702-12 Weinstein SL, <<Zavala>, <DC>>, Ponseti IV

This is real life. It’s not a dress rehearsal. In real life, I don’t want to put a gun to my head or the head of anyone I love with 2 bullets in a 6 chamber pistol (1 out of 3) and pull the trigger. That’s not a Russian game of chance, that’s suicide or murder. Sadly, most people have at least 4, if not all 6 in the chamber!

Truth is more dangerous then fiction. Adjustments, our classes on nutrition, exercise, and doing the best you can to lower or eliminate medications is just like taking bullets out of the chamber and/or a (loaded) gun out of your hand.

Let’s face it, people are confused about chiropractic. It may interest you to know that it was the medical profession that created every myth you’ve heard and, in fact, the AMA lost a seven-million dollar lawsuit in what was called the “Wilke’s vs. the AMA antitrust suit.” It was proven that all of the rumors, remarks, etc. started in the 50s, 60s, and 70s by the AMA were not in the interest of public health, but merely to eliminate the competition. Should anyone with an M.D. after their name deter you from seeing a chiropractor for any reason, they are in violation of the antitrust suit and are breaking a federal law as well as several state laws. Unfortunately, the damage the AMA did to chiropractic still exists today. This,despite the fact that research done at the world’s most prestigious institutions have shown an increased mortality rate when the spine loses its optimum position.  Also the fact that, to the dismay of many in the medical universe, dozens of medical journals have published article after article on the power of chiropractic care.

The most unique part of many of these studies is not just that chiropractic was very effective in eliminating a symptom or allowing the body to better heal itself from an illness. The profound fact of chiropractic is that people who undergo regular care lead higher quality lives, make better health choices, see doctors less, eat better, exercise more, spend less time in the hospital, and take fewer medications.

EXAMPLES OF STUDIES SUPPORTING CHIROPRACTIC

Several studies warrant further discussion in this context. Leading United States researchers, Blanks, Schuster and Dobson published the results of a retrospective assessment of subluxation-based chiropractic care on self-related health, wellness and quality of life. This is the largest study of its kind ever undertaken regarding a chiropractic population. After surveying 2,818 respondents in 156 clinics, a strong connection was found between persons receiving chiropractic care and self-reported improvement in health, wellness and quality-of-life. 95% of respondents reported that their expectations had been met, and 99% wished to continue care. They made better food choices, took less medications, got sick less often, had more energy, and had far less symptoms.

Similarly, Coulter et al performed an analysis of an insurance database, comparing persons receiving chiropractic care with non-chiropractic patients. The study consisted of senior citizens over 75 years of age. It was reported that the persons receiving chiropractic care reported better overall health, spent fewer days in hospitals and nursing homes, used fewer prescription drugs, and were more active than the non-chiropractic patients.

Rupert, Manello, and Sandefur surveyed 311 chiropractic patients, aged 65 years and older, who had received “maintenance care” for five years or longer. Chiropractic patients receiving maintenance care, when compared with US citizens of the same age, spent only 31% of the national average for health care services. There was a 50% reduction in medical provider visits. The health habits of patients receiving maintenance care were better overall than the general population, including decreased use of cigarettes and decreased use of nonprescription drugs. Furthermore, 95.8% believed the care to be either “considerably” or “extremely” valuable. Sadly, Rupert reports, that of the 79% of chiropractic patients who have maintenance care recommended to them, only half of those comply.

From the Body by God e-Newsletter

Winston Churchill once asked one of the allied forces pilots how he was doing. The pilot responded, “I’m doing my best sir.” Churchill replied, “Your best is not good enough, you have to do what you must.”

God is all-powerful. If He is limited to doing only that which we call good, we could not call Him the Almighty. He would only command part of the universe, and there would exist someone more powerful to worship than He, watching and judging His acts.

Why does He allow suffering? Why does He not spare pain for those who love Him? Why does He allow His enemies to obtain glory? No one knows, but a reason does exist. You can only hope to learn it one day.

There is a reason for everything under the sun. If you make one decision, it could appear disastrous at the time. Things and people may even die, but you must choose. All man’s strength lies in the power of his or her decisions. Choices are difficult. Even more difficult is defining a path for oneself. The meaning of your life is whatever you want it to be. You must learn the difference between temporary and lasting:

• What is temporary? The problems of this world.
• What is lasting? The lessons of the problems of this world.

Problems always happen, it’s unavoidable. You need discipline and patience to overcome them, and hope. When that no longer exists, you have lost your faith. You do not possess the energy to fight against the impossible, attempting to be problemless.

It’s not a question of hope in the future. It’s a question of recreating your own past. When you realize that the pains of your past were only learning experiences that gave you the wisdom, ability, and experience of today, you can turn your entire life into one divine and glorious adventure filled not by tragedies but by gifts of knowledge and experience from God.

If there’s one elemental truth in life that must never cease to be understood it’s that: “The past does not equal the future.” Jesus said, “I’ve made it all new!” If you are not living that truth, then what was His death for? When you say, “I’ve got bad luck;” “I already tried living a healthier lifestyle and it doesn’t work;” “Relationships never amount to good things for me;” “I’m incapable of making money;” “I’m just…” Then you’re letting your past equal your future. Because you’re denying the most important truth in the universe, you’re doomed to experience your past over and over again… As it’s said, “Those who don’t learn from the past are doomed to repeat it.”

Many people have passed through my talks, offices, read my books, watched my videos, and heard my CDs. Some will find success, some of these people will grow old having never found health, joy, or prosperity because they carried with them, along with the weight of their present pain, the weight of their earlier failures and information given to them by others who also will become sick and suffer. Their past has left them fearful, lacking the confidence to take risks, to endure, to discipline, and to learn something new.

Remember, God says “ABOVE ALL ELSE, I pray that you prosper and be in good health.” “ABOVE ALL ELSE!!” I believe that people who experience this have profited from every moment of life. To these people, life was a constant stream of challenge and triumph, challenge and triumph – and would go on being one. The triumphs may have been soulful ones only, but victory just the same. (“Even as thy soul prospers.”) They will achieve everything they desire-that God desires for them-because they are not limited by the frustrations of the past. They think for themselves. They are disciplined and consistent in their efforts. They seek knowledge that they will apply so that they will add health and prosperity. No matter what happened before and what happens now.

The successful, healthy, and happy do not do their best. Human best often falls way short. They do what they must!
