Here is a cold hard fact for you:
If you are not doing anything to keep you and your families spine and nerve system healthy with Chiropractic care, then the condition of your families spine and nerve system is not healthy.
Laws of nature tell us that entropy is and undeniable force. We will breakdown overtime if we don’t become proactive to slow that process down. In fact, not only can we slow the process down, we can reverse the damages of a long standing spinal issue, if we catch it early enough.
So, what’s the answer to keeping your family’s master control system of their body healthy?
There can only be one answer- maintain proper position with regular chiropractic check-ups from birth. This is why it is my mission to get every child checked by a Chiropractor by 5 years of age. The earlier the better, as entropy is undeniable.

What is sick?
I once had a patient enter my office, and proceed to tell me that he was the healthiest person he knew. The only reason he was here, in my office, was because his wife was determined to find something wrong!
Can you imagine? Never being sick, never a cold, a fever, a vomit, or diarrhea? Unbelievable, in my mind, however I was new in practice at the time, so I believed him…or at least the part about him being the healthiest person on the planet.
So I decided to put him through some simple chiropractic tests, to check the functioning of his nerve system. I was honestly expecting to see a perfect exam. I received nothing of the sort. After completing my tests, I showed him the results. He couldn’t believe that there was anything wrong…however agreed that his nerve system may need some “tuning”.
Here is where things got interesting. He said thanks, went home, and I didn’t hear from him for a week. One week later, I see him out in the community. He proceeds to explain to me what “being sick is all about”. You see, that first night after the adjustment, he had a fever for the first time in his life. The next day he had diarrhea, proceeded by vomiting and the cold sweats.
So, did my adjustment to his nerve system make him sick? Or did the adjustment allow his body to clean itself out in a way that it was never able to do so in the past?
It is absolutely normal to have symptoms of fever, vomiting, coughing, or diarrhea. Simply, this gets the junk out. So if this is the case, then being sick is not really a bad thing. Guess it just depends on what your definition of sick is. Here’s one to ponder:
sick: A state of health in which your body is not able to adapt in a reasonable manner.
A reasonable manner to me brings up the subject of timing. How long are you experiencing these symptoms? Our bodies should be able to “clean out the junk” within 72 hours. Of course every virus, or bacteria is different, and some needing a larger response by your body. However, from what I have seen by patients in my office, 72 hours is long enough for the intelligent processes of your self cleaning body.

How healthy can one be?
This is a question that you answer for yourself constantly, without even knowing. You answer this when:
-you settle for a cough that lasts 2 weeks.
-you can’t turn your head to the right when trying to back out the parking spot, so you just resort to your mirrors, and or backup cameras.
-you noticed your pants are a little tighter than they use to be, and you blame it on the fabric shrinking….then you notice it is also happening to that other pair of pants, and you don’t do anything about it.
-you can’t even think of running a mile, when you use to do 5 miles like it was no big deal.
So, have you given into the the lower levels of health, choking it up to, “Guess I’m getting older.”? Don’t give up on your potential for higher levels of health. Just because your friends are getting slower, doesn’t mean that it is natural or normal to do so.

Better to light one candle, than to curse the darkness.
I have never really found it enjoyable to hang around people who would rather talk about what is wrong. Bringing up problems, or challenges is important so that solutions can be made. However, if all that is focused on is the bad, the wrong, the improper, and the terrible….then no solution will be found.
It’s important to know the facts of the situation. So, you have degeneration in your spine, and your able to know it means your nerve system has not been working well for years now. What’s the solution? What’s possible from here?
You can not change the past, however you can take steps to get yourself and your family healthier in 2013.
Adjust does just that. We look at the facts of the state of your health, then we look at where we can go. Where do you want to go? Curse the darkness, or light one candle, it’s up to you.
