Allow me to explain.

Corrective Chiropractic care is the right thing to do for the whole family. Maintaining your spine for life is also the right thing to do as long as you want to stay healthy.

The problem is that people often get into chiropractic for the wrong reasons and if they fail to change their mindset it leads to very predictable errors in judgement with potentially catastrophic consequences. Its OK to get into chiropractic because of pain, or because you want to feel better. However, initiating a process to correct the spine with that limited perspective is dangerous as the pain will usually be gone well before the spine is corrected, or what about your family members that could have severe subluxations but no pain (yet) to indicate a problem.

The other thinking error would be that someone might quit in the middle of the process because something still hurts, so they go for a quick fix like an injection or drug, neither of which will fix the true cause of the problem. Even if the pain goes away they are now free to allow their spine to continue to break down, which is proven to cause accelerated degeneration, disability and morbidity.

So what is the right reason to go to a chiropractor? Why have I been getting regular adjustments for the past 16 years? Why do I check my family weekly?

For Health!

Pain might motivate me from time to time that I’m overdue, but I never get an adjusment strictly to feel better. Chiropractic is about function and health equals normal function. Chiropractic is about full human potential! Mental, physical, emotional, spiritual – the whole enchilada. I get regular adjustments to maintain the integrity of my nervous system, because I dont want to operate at anything less than 100% as a father, husband, healer, business owner etc.

That’s the big idea of chiropractic and my ultimate purpose as a principled chiropractor is not to correct your spine, but to get you to think this way too. Then you teach everyone in your circle of influence to think this way. Then we change the world!

Get the Big Idea and all else follows!

The degree of stress that we encounter on a constant basis in modern society, however, has reached epidemic proportions.

“Stress is nothing more than a socially acceptable form of mental illness.”
~Richard Carlson

I love the quote above, because we often do fall into the trap of stressing out and just generally driving ourselves crazy.

But it’s important to remember that stress triggers the “fight-or-flight” response. The surge of adrenaline and the slowing down of other basic functions provides us with the instant energy we need to run from a predator or battle an attacker.

This survival response comes with side effects though. Over time, that extra energy and alertness comes with altered hormone levels, heightened blood sugar, depleted nutrients and lowered neurotransmitters.

Over time, our bodies adapt to invoke that same response with smaller and smaller triggers.

“Fight or flight” is the normal operating mode for many of us, rather than the true emergency survival mechanism it was meant to be. We rarely work off that energy, take restorative actions or release ourselves from that state of mind.

Chronic stress affects every bodily system. It suppresses the immune system, slows metabolism and cell regeneration, makes airways reactive and creates muscle tension. It is estimated that 90% of doctor visits can be traced back to stress.

Stress can be linked to weight gain, heart disease and depression. It increases the risk of diabetes, hypertension, arthritis and osteoporosis.

Stress impairs cognitive function over time, reducing creativity, memory and problem-solving skills.

Headaches, sexual dysfunction, irritability, problems sleeping and addictive behaviors are often stress-related.

The degree of stress we experience on a daily basis might be a cultural norm but personal priorities, personal choices and our purposeful reactions to stress can limit the negative health effects of stress.

Pick a few of these suggestions below to reduce stress in your life and promote health and healing in your body.

1.    Spiritual Triathlon. This is my personal method for keeping my focus throughout the day. Every morning when I wake up I spend 5 minutes saying all that I am grateful for, 5 minutes in prayer and 5 minutes reading my Bible or something inspirational.

2.    Schedule relaxation. Write it down in your planner and stick to it. Make time at least once a week to do something you love–something that refreshes you. Maybe that’s a game of tennis, spending an hour alone with a good book or taking a yoga class.

3.    Pour yourself a cup. Many varieties of hot tea have calming effects on the body and can help lower blood pressure. Try green or black tea or herbal teas with chamomile.

4.    Take a deep breath. Try deep breathing for a few minutes every day. Tighten and release muscles. Hum to release nitric oxide and improve blood pressure.

5.    Just say “No.” I promise it’s ok! Don’t spread yourself too thin or you won’t be able to give 100% of your efforts to any of the tasks you attempt. Your value does not depend upon how much you do for others at the expense of your own time, relationships and health.

“Men, for the sake of getting a living, forget to live.” ~Margaret Fuller

6.    Expel excess adrenaline. Before, during and after stressful situations, walk briskly for 5 minutes, run up a flight of stairs, do backward pushups on your chair, or do 5 minutes of deep breathing. A short burst of physical activity can expel anxiety and give you clarity and calm.

7.    Ask yourself why. The next time you’re racing around trying to accomplish too many things in too short a time, ask yourself why you’re doing it, who it really serves, what belief its based on, whether this feeling is really what you want, whether this is a value or principle you want to base your life on.

“Worry does not empty tomorrow of its sorrow; it empties today of its strength.”
~Corrie Ten Boom

8.    Nix the caffeine, nicotine and alcohol. Don’t add to nervous energy with stimulants and don’t mask stress with alcohol. The long-term effects compound the negative effects of stress.

9.    Exercise regularly. Regular exercise helps expel built-up tension, stress hormones and clears the mind. Exercise helps to release endorphins, the brain’s natural feel-good chemicals. I recommend Burst Training for the most health benefits.

10.    Sleep. Staying up late to get more done robs you of your total productivity. It dulls your mind, increases stress, promotes weight gain and contributes to mood swings.

11.    Use your senses. Find colors that soothe you, wear fabrics that please you. Take a scented bath, play music you love. Paint, get a massage, or take a walk in the woods.

“Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take,
but by the number of moments that take our breath away.”
~Hilary Cooper

12.    Connect with others. Making time for social connection is very important and restorative. Social connection is what makes us a part of something larger than ourselves and our worries. It gives us perspective.

13.    Serve someone else. Related to connecting with others, try volunteering at a soup kitchen, making meals for parents with a newborn baby or helping with home repairs for an elderly neighbor. Remind yourself that it’s not always all about you.

“If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.”
~Wayne Dwyer

14.    Be prepared. You can combat alarmist or catastrophic thinking by being prepared. Keep a change of clothes in the car, create an emergency fund for car repairs, have an alternative proposal in mind at work.

15.    Make a vision board. Write down your goals and post them on a board where it can be seen every day. What do you want to accomplish? Who do you want to become? Print out pictures to visually remind yourself of what is most important to you.

“Life is a journey, not a destination.” ~Rumi

16.    Share responsibility. Delegating really is an important skill. Instead of complaining about how much you have to accomplish, teach your kids to cook, share the credit with a co-worker, or work out sports shuttling with another parent.

“Cancer can be caused using cytotoxic (“cell poisoning”) agents used to treat cancer.”

P. 297 – Taber’s Cyclopedic Medical Dictionary

In other words, chemotherapy causes cancer!

“In my opinion, conventional cancer therapy is so toxic and dehumanizing that I fear it far more than I fear death from cancer.”

Julian Whitaker M.D. – one of the highest paid medical doctors in the world

Dr. Lundberg, who was the former 15 year editor of the Journal of the American Medical Association, said this of chemotherapy at a NIH meeting: “It’s a marvelous opportunity for rampant deceit. So much money is there to be made that ethical principles can be overrun in a stampede to get at physicians and prescribers.”

Chemotherapy is effective in treating only about 2%-4% of cancers, yet $8 billion is spent on this form of treatment each year (the last patient I had do chemotherapy spent $25,000/month as his medical insurance would not cover it. It did not affect the tumor at all and he died after a few months.).

Despite the billions spent on treatment and research, cancer rates continue to rise. In 1973, two out of ten people would develop cancer. Now, two out of three people develop some form of cancer.

Research shows that mainstream cancer treatments are actually responsible for creating secondary cancers.

Keep in mind everybody has cancer right now. At this very moment, there are cancerous cells in the body of every person who is breathing. All you have to do to get diagnosed with cancer is make sure your immune system is sufficiently suppressed so that your body can not take care of the cancerous cells on a regular basis. That is why more than 85% of all cancer is due to how you live. That is correct. Cancer is self-induced

If you destroy your immune system function through cytotoxicity (a toxic lifestyle), a degenerating spine and nervous system (which also leads to toxicity), and the use of the most toxic substances in the world (medications), then you cause yourself (yes, yourself) or cause your children to get cancer now or later.

“Chemotherapy is perhaps the most effective method known to modern science for destroying the human immune system other than working at Chernobyl during a nuclear accident. So, if you are looking to contract cancer as quickly as possible, make sure that you get chemotherapy as early as you can.” Dr. Whitaker

Call me anything. Call me a bad name. Challenge my intelligence. Question my choices. But, do not call me typical. Why? Take away someone’s uniqueness and you remove their very reason for living. Their life is forever “insignificant” and without “value.”

The foundation of psychological science is based on the work of Dr. Abraham Maslow. He discovered that the “typical” person is similar to a rodent in a cage – simply scurrying around the best it can to meet basic needs.

The lowest, primitive, rodent-like value system runs the polar opposite of the higher value systems God designed us to seek as the dominant, human life-forms on the planet.

Maslow’s Value Scale

*Lower values (scurrying for needs): Food, water, clothes, housing, security, protection, preservation

*Higher values (seeking and fulfilling a purpose): Self-actualization and significance

Lesser life forms – mice, rats, flies – are not very politically correct. They simply seek to meet needs at all costs. Today, we live in a world where typically people rush from place to place to simply, like a lower life-form, meet needs. Because this value system is incongruent with the one God created you to have, you must become stressed, frustrated, depressed, anxious, and exhibit poor health. It’s a law.

In fact, 60% of the U.S. and growing report being depressed and anxious or as Thoreau put it, “Most men lead lives of quiet desperation.” 33% of adults are medicated and an ever booming part of the children in our country are now being medicated for this as well. This, in addition to other types of addictions (alcohol and drugs) and our penchant to do anything we can to distract our minds from our misery (cell phones, internet, pornography, T.V., iPod), “We have become comfortably numb.”

In my 7 years of being a doctor and consultant, I have never met a depressed, sick, medicated, addicted person who lived their life according to Maslow’s higher values. Seeking purpose and significance equals good mental and physical health- also a law!

Ironically, seeking lower values or simply looking to meet needs often ends up stopping you from ever meeting those needs. Truly, the best way to achieve in life is be on a mission towards higher values. Your needs get met, and then some.

Do not be typical. Look for more on this at our Stress, Time, and Energy Workshop – coming soon!

“Do not worry about what you will eat, or what you will drink, or what you will wear. …seek ye first the Kingdom and all it’s righteousness and all these (needs) will be given to you…..and then some!
