How Do You Know If You Are Healthy?

2012-01-21T11:31:00.000-08:00

How do you know when are you and your family healthy?

MYTH: Most people would say - When you feel good.

FACT: The fact of the matter is - People that feel good often die of heart attacks or find out they have cancer or wake up sick one day after felling ok their whole life.

You and your family are truly healthy when your body's are functioning at the highest level possible (100% function = 100% health). Your nervous system is the body's "self repair" or healing system. The brain sends electrical messages over the nerves to every cell in your body. If a cell gets damaged the brain will recognize and analyze the damage and will either send repair instructions or new cell replacement instructions.

What would happen if these signals got interrupted?
Should we concern ourselves with how our body is functioning or just cover up our symptoms when they occur?

Is FEVER a Good Thing or a Bad Thing?

2011-09-29T14:19:00.000-07:00

Did you know that nearly all animals develop a fever when they are fighting off a virus or bacteria? Most people don't realize is that more often than not a fever is a good thing. Most parents freak out when their child has a fever and rush to lower it as quickly as possible. Most parent's fear that thier child will develop brain damage or die.

So can a fever cause brain damage or death?

Dr. Robert Mendelsohn, M.D. said in his book How to Raise a Healthy Child in Spite of Your Doctor that "They don't tell you that reducing temperature will do NOTHING to make the patient well or that our bodies have a built-in mechanism not fully explained that will prevent an infection-induced temperature reaching 106 degrees. Only in the case of heat stroke, poisoning, or other externally caused fevers is the body overwhelmed and inoperative"

So the next logical question is when does a fever become dangerous? As Dr. Medelsohn M.D. states anything over 106 degrees is dangerous. Let's take this a step further.

James Fruthaler of Tulane U, spoke to the American Academy of Pedicatrics and told them he searched the medical literature and could not find a single case of brain damage due to a high fever. The only exception he noted was cases with advanced encephalitis or menigitis (inflammation of the brain or meninges of the brain) that caused the brain damage.

Most of us have grown used to being told that when you have a fever you need to reduce it. This is good advice if you are a drug company selling fever reducing drugs. But according to the reasearch no body has ever had brain damage due to a high fever or died directly because of a high fever. We also know that a fever is essential for you body destroy infections from bacteria or viral origin. Dr. Mendelsohn and others state that fevers can become dangerous over 106 degrees and I believe this a good rule of thumb. As in my experience I have never seen or personally had a fever every go over 104 degrees. Don't get me wrong when you are at 103-104 degrees trust me you are very sick and not feeling well, but don't freak out and think you or your loved one will die or have brain damage. You simple need to monitor the situation and if the temperature exceeds 106 degrees then it would be wise to seek help from a qualified professional otherwise it would be a good idea to just let the inborn intelligence inside your body do it's thing.

What Is The Third Leading Cause of Death In The United States?

2011-08-26T07:59:00.000-07:00

According to the Journal of The American Medical Association (JAMA) the third leading cause of death in America is death from medical treatment. i.e. You go to a medical doctor (MD) he gives you a treatment then you die. This is known as IATROGENIC DISEASE.

According to the united states department of health and human services (see video below) 15,000 medicare patients die per month, they are killed by MD treatment. 15,000/month! And nobody goes to jail! Let's take this a step further on 9/11 terrorists fly 2 planes into the twin towers and 3,500 people are killed and we go to war. Why is it that you never hear about all the people dieing due to medical treatments?

The latest figures on Iatrogenic Disease are in the neighborhood of 784,000 deaths/year.

Watch the video explaining death by medical treatment.

Bread Consumption and Cancer

2011-07-05T08:14:00.000-07:00

According to Dr. Mercola "bread (grain) consumption in general has been shown to increase your risk of cancer… For example, an Italian study published in 2007 found "a significant direct trend in risk" between bread consumption and renal cell carcinoma. Compared to those with the lowest consumption, those with the highest bread consumption nearly doubled their risk of this type of kidney cancer.

Pasta and rice consumption increased the risk by almost 30 percent.

Although that study didn't specify the disease mechanism at play, it's a well-known fact that excessive grain consumption leads to insulin resistance—sooner or later—and that insulin resistance is the primary underlying factor of most chronic disease, including cancer. My feeling is that you start to dramatically increase your risk for cancer once your fasting blood sugar rises above 100. The higher your blood sugar level, the higher your risk of cancer. As for your insulin; your fasting insulin level should, ideally, be below 3, as mentioned earlier.

Aside from cancer, all those daily bowls of cereal and sandwiches also amount to an increased risk of type 2 diabetes and heart disease. A study published just last year found that women who eat a lot of foods high in blood sugar-spiking carbohydrates, such as white bread and rice, double their risk of heart disease.

This is because, when you eat more carbohydrates than your body can use, the excess energy is converted to unhealthy fats by your liver which push your cholesterol ratios in the wrong direction. This process occurs to help your body maintain blood sugar control in the short-term, however it will likely increase triglyceride concentrations, which in turn increases your risk of cardiovascular disease. It's unfortunate that so many physicians are still clueless about insulin's influence on cancer and heart disease, but that doesn't mean you have to be!"

Are you seeing the trend? How does diet relate to exercise? How does exercise relate to diet? How does Upper Cervical Chiropractic relate to exercise and diet?

The old addage "you are what you eat" applies study after study after study shows that eating processed dead foods results in health problems. Eating processed foods and not exercising results in insuling resistance and HEALTH PROBLEMS!

Upper Cervical Chiropractic care focuses on problems where the head and neck join. If you have pressure at the brain stem level your body cannot function correctly so your bodies ability to use the food you eat and your bodies ability to exercise and adapt becomes compromised. Your brainstem is the communication link between the brain and the body. So if this communication is altered or blocked can you be 100% healthy?

The BIG picture is that you must master all the components of health to be healthy.
1. The foundation is Upper Cervical Chiropractic care - your brain must be able to communicate with your body to be health and function properly
2. You have to master the nutritional component of health
3. You absolutely have to understand the proper way to exercise - its easier than you think
4. TOXICITY! You cannot be health if you are poisoning yourself! This includes everything you put on your body or in it. Are pharmaceutical and OTC drugs toxic? Are plastics that leech chemicals into your food toxic? Are many personal care products toxic?
5. The mental aspect is essential and flows from all of the above. Never forget your THOTS create your reality. What you think about comes about.

Multiple Contaminants Found In Our Nation's Waterways

2011-06-24T08:33:00.000-07:00

According to Dr. Solomon, senior scientist with the National Resources Defense Council (NRDC),

"Multiple contaminants are turning up in our nation's waterways, including in water millions of people rely on for drinking. Studies by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) have revealed an unsavory mix of pharmaceuticals, steroid hormones, unregulated pesticides, flame retardants, rocket fuel chemicals, plasticizers, detergents, and stain repellants in both the surface water and the groundwater we rely on for drinking, and in our drinking water itself."

Dr. Solomon testifyed before Congress with this information. Will industry profits again come before public health and safety?

I feel like our country is going the wrong direction. I think we need to get away from all these chemicals and focus on things that are natural, sustainable, and safe. If it is not possible to make plastic products with out using toxic chemicals and creating toxic waste then we have to ask ourselves do we really need plastic?

Everything is CAUSE & EFFECT. Would it surprise you if they discovered that long term exposure to pharmaceuticals, persticides, steroid hormones, flame retardants etc. in your drinking water resulted in some strange disease, or birth defect in your baby? I feel strongly that we need to start taking a different approach regarding our use of chemicals in this country, and in the world for that matter, before its too late.

The cholesterol controversy. Is cholesterol really evil?

2011-06-02T08:40:00.000-07:00

Here in the United States we are taught that cholesterol causes heart disease. Yet more and more studies are emmerging finding that cholesterol is not the cause.

Did you know that your liver can produce cholesterol? or that cholesterol is used and a part of every single cell in your body? Did you know that cholesterol is used to make very important hormones like testosterone, cortisol, estrogene etc. Did you know that vitamin D is made from cholesterol? Cholesterol is essential for proper brain and nervous system function. Did you know that your liver produces 75% of the cholesterol you use and the other 25% comes from your diet?

FACT most research has NOT shown that high cholesterol causes heart disease. Rather it is a symptom much like a FEVER is a symptom of the FLU. Most people don't realize that 75% of people that have heart attacks have NORMAL healthy cholesterol levels. Also many people with high cholesterol never suffer from a heart attack.

Having high cholesterol is an overblown risk factor -- Dr. Christopher Gardener researcher and authority - Stanford University School of Medicine

When your cholesterol raises it is for a reason. If you cut your arm there is an inflammatory response. Your blood vessels constirct to limit blood loss, your blood thickens and begins to clot, your immune system will send cells to clear out any bacteria or viruses, your cells will multiply to replace the damaged tissues. Please realize that to make new cells you will need cholesterol, new cells cannot form without it, so from a physiology stand point if the liver kicks up your cholesterol levels so there is plenty available for repairs then this is not a bad thing. A plaqued artery is simple a scarred artery.

Chronic inflammation is a known cause of heart disease. So we need to then ask ourselves what causes chronic inflammation? The simple answer is poor LIFEstyle choices. Deficiencies and toxicities. The average American diet is high in inflammatory grains, and refined sugars thus resulting in a chronic nutritional deficiency and inflammation. The average American does not exercise resulting in a movement deficiency. The average American uses 12 prescriptions per year thus resulting in toxicity. The average American has had a slip, fall accident or injury that resulted in a subluxation resulting in a deficiency in brain to body communication. So most Americans are doped up and deficient in the things necessary for your body to produce health for you.

Most people dont realize that eating a diet high in fresh whole foods (NOT processed foods) is essential for health or that exercise is a requirement for health. Also staying away from things that are toxic to the body like drugs or environmental chemicals is essential for health. Brain to body communication is essential for health. So really health boils down into 2 principles. 1. you have to supply your body with the things it needs to produce health and 2. stay away from things that are toxic and interfere with its function.

So are STATIN drugs (cholesterol lowering drugs) really worth it? Here is the thing, when you alter the delicate inner workings of the human body your are risking throwing everything off kilter or out of balance. Current research finding show that taking statins does NOT decrease your risk of heart attack, stroke, or the need for artery clearing procedures such as angioplasty.

What are the side effects of STATIN drugs? The most common are muscle pain and weakness. Other known side effects poly-neuropathy (nerve damage), dizziness, decreased immune function, cognitive impairment, memeory loss and depression, liver damage etc.

A review of 41,00 patients taking statin drugs found a higher risk of cancer (decreased immune function), increased incidence of Parkinson's disease (poly-neuropathy), depression, etc.

How do you decrease chronic inflammation naturally? Eat an innate diet! Fresh high quality whole foods. Realize chronic inflammation is due to several things such as: processed foods, sugars, grains, fried foods, transfat, etc. Your LIFEstyle choices have everything to do with staying healthy or getting sick. The choice is yours. As we said before you must 1. supply your body with the things it needs to produce health and 2. avoid the things that are toxic and interfere with its function. The easiest place to start is with your diet. The more advanced things include Chiropractic care, exercise, and toxicity awareness.

What Causes Autism?

2011-04-14T13:57:00.000-07:00

Why do children develop Autism? What is the CAUSE? My simple and short answer is TOXICITY! Nobody can seem to pin point exactly what the cause is. From everything that I have read and studied it all boils down to TOXICITY! Let me give you an example: I want you to imagine that you have a toxicity gauge on your arm like a watch that you can look at any time and see what your bodies toxicity level is. If you stick your hand in a pot of boiling water for a fraction of second then you will probably be ok but if you stick your hand in that boiling water and leave it there whats going to happen to your hand? Most likely permanent damage, right. My opinion on this matter is that if the body exceeds a certain level of toxicity then permanent damage will result. If your toxicity gauge/level is maxed out then permanent damage will result. There are really only 2 categories of things that will make you sick. Either you are deficient in something your body needs or you are being exposed to something that is toxic to the body or both. So are you really even surprised that a disease like autism could develop due to chronic exposure to a toxin or multiple toxins? We know that vaccination can cause autism but again it is not the only cause. I believe there are multiple causes all related to the toxicity level of the body. If you go past what the body can handle then permanent damage is the result. The problem is that the average american is exposed to 6,000 different man made chemicals on a regular basis and 96% or more of them are completely untested meaning they know little or nothing about what they do in the body. The major factor with children is they are not fully developed as an adult would be so they will naturally be much more sensitive to envrionmental toxins and the ability for the body to deal with those toxins will be less. Let's now say that a child is deficient nutritionally i.e. their body is not getting the things it needs to produce health. Do you think it is going to be easier or more difficult for their body to deal with toxicity? I hope this is all adding up... So the best solution is to learn about what the body needs to produce health and then simply provide it and to learn about what is toxic to the body and remove or avoid it. Is mercury in a vaccine toxic to the body? Are pesticides, preservatives and food additives toxic to the body? Are chemicals from plastic packaging leaching into your food toxic? etc. etc. What about children that are born Autisitic? Again toxicity. What if mom was exposed to chemicals either intentional or unknown to her? A fetus can be damaged from toxicity the same way a child can, this has been known for a very long time now. If the average American is exposed to 6,000 man made chemicals on a regular basis don't you think it would be hard to avoid them all? Especially if a woman is pregnant. The topic of environmental toxicity is more important now than it has ever been. So my opinion is that Autism is a toxicity issue. If you want to learn more about how to get and stay well then fell free to come to one of our healthcare classes or workshops.

Is Early Detection The Best Prevention?

2011-03-30T09:29:00.001-07:00

If the early detection of DISEASE is the best prevention then doesn't that mean you already have that DISEASE?

Shouldn't the goal be to just never develop DISEASE? Because that to me is PREVENTION.

To prevent something from happening to me is prevention.

We should actively persue health rather than waiting until we have lost it. To then say "early detection of XYZ DISEASE is the best prevention" doesn't make a whole lot of sense?

This is like saying a nuclear bomb has gone off here in America and we have detected it early so the radiation won't harm to many people. This seem more like management. To me prevention would be never letting the nuclear bomb go off in the first place.

Are you even really surprised that long term exposure to a TOXIN causes some sort of DIS-EASE?

2011-03-01T07:57:00.000-08:00

Researchers have found that pesticides can dramatically increase your risk of developing parkinson's disease.

The real problem is bioaccumulation in the environment and IN YOU. The more pesticides & toxins are dumped onto crops or the environment the more they build up in the soil then when it rains they wash into the creek then river then lake then aquafer then you ultimately end up drinking and/or eating them.

Over a period of time the accumulation of pesticides or even toxins in general can result in DIS-EASE, I don't know about you but this seems like common sense. So if pesticides/toxins are building up in your body faster than the body can get ride of them then are your really surprised that scientists found a DIS-EASE as the end result?

How could Upper Cervical care help? The LUNGS, LIVER, and KINDEYS play an important roll in eliminating toxins from the body. If your brain cannot properly communicate with the body then your body cannot function properly which can result in even faster tissue destruction due to toxicity.

When the body is functioning optimally then the body will have the absolute best ability to adapt to its environment.

March is Upper Cervical Awareness Month

2011-02-23T08:52:00.000-08:00

Welcome to the Wonderful World of Upper Cervical Care

When it comes to living a long and healthy life, very few people will argue that prevention through optimum nutrition and exercise play a vital role, but the most important component to good health is often overlooked. That component is proper “brain to body communication.”

The brainstem and nervous system control and coordinate every function in your body – heart rate, breathing, vision, hearing, balance, digestion, muscle tension, posture, emotions, immune function, hormones…literally EVERYTHING! In order to function properly and remain healthy for years to come, you must have 100% “brain to body communication” at all times-- 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year!

Most people don’t understand that this brain to body communication can be “choked” off by a misalignment within one of the top two bones in the neck (The atlas and axis). This interference contributes to a myriad of health conditions…arthritis, asthma, diabetes, digestive disorders, fibromyalgia, ear infections, and the list goes on. Nearly all health conditions begin with stresses placed on the body, over time, that were never corrected.

This is what Upper Cervical care is all about – restoring brain to body communication. The Upper Cervical correction is gentle and there is no forceful pulling, twisting or jerking motion of your neck. It is applied using a precise and controlled touch that “corrects” the misalignment and allows brain to body communication to be restored.

March is Upper Cervical Care Awareness Month

Poor brain to body communication is an epidemic as prevalent as tooth decay. The International Upper Cervical Institute estimates that by the age of 39, 87% of the population has some degree of interference to the health and healing messages the brain tries to send the body. Despite the fact that this decreased brain to body communication is widespread, public awareness remains limited.

It’s time we get “back to the basics,” take control over our own health, and recognize the body’s remarkable, inborn self-healing ability. This is the only way we can truly break the cycle of just treating the disease in this country. If we are waiting for a miracle drug to cure the world’s ailments, it’s not going to happen! We need to be proactive, not reactive, with our health. Prevention must take precedence over the treatment of disease!

The Upper Cervical Health Centers of America, Patient Advocates Association and the International Upper Cervical Institute have established Upper Cervical Awareness Month to increase public awareness of Upper Cervical treatment and the health and healing it is bringing to millions. It also provides an opportunity for doctors and patients to work together to increase public awareness of how the epidemic of poor brain to body communication causes needless pain and suffering.

Human Heart Can Grow New Cells, Study Finds

2011-02-12T08:11:00.001-08:00

This article was published on msnbc.com. http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/30014711/ns/today-today_health/

It seems as though the medical community is just now figuring out that the body heals itself, but the only thing they can think of is what drugs or surgeries they can create and develop.

Innate intelligence is responsible for control and coordination of EVERYTHING in your body. Innate = inborn. This is the intelligence you were born with. Innate intelligence also travels via the nervous system.

The big picture is that we should be educating the general public on the bodies inborn intelligence. If people knew that to stay healthy you only need supply innate everything it needs and stay away from things that are toxic to innate and you will be 100% healthy.

It is no surprise that heart cells can regrow, or brain cells can change, grow regrow and adapt as we continue to our journey through life.

What this means for people with chronic illness is that if you start doing the right things you can heal and repair! People with heart diease for example can have a healing potential if they start doing the right things.

They also mentioned in the article about the nervous system healing and repairing. This is big news for people with demyelination problems like people with multiple sclerosis.

A Case of Greek Meeting Greek

2011-02-06T09:55:00.000-08:00

This is a good article discussing some key differences between medicine and Chiropractic, for example treating the cause of the problem rather than just covering up the symptoms with drugs.

Dr. Palmer vs. Dr. Mayo
By L. Ted Frigard, DC, PhC

In the early 20th century, Dr. Charles Mayo, physician, surgeon, and co-founder of the famed Mayo Brothers Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, brought his wife for treatment to the Dr. B.J. Palmer Chiropractic Research Clinic in Davenport, Iowa. Dr. Mayo had taken his wife to other physicians, including doctors in Europe, all distinguished diagnosticians and specialists. Dr. P.L. Poulsen of the BJPCC staff informed me that those medical specialists had agreed upon a diagnosis - osteochondromatosis of the knee joint. They had tried everything medical to heal Mrs. Mayo, but all treatment had failed.

Dr. Mayo brought his wife to Dr. Palmer for his chiropractic professional services. He addressed Dr. Palmer as Mr. Palmer. To this Dr. Palmer replied: "This is a case of Greek meeting Greek; a test of steel against steel; a test of our simple chiropractic principle and practice against your complex medical theories and experiments."

Dr. Palmer ordered spinographs taken of Mrs. Mayo's spine.

"Mr. Palmer, why are you only taking spinal x-rays?" queried Dr. Mayo.

"Because, we are going to locate the vertebral subluxation cause of her sickness, so we can correctly adjust it." replied Dr. Palmer.

Dr. Mayo rejoined, "There is no such thing, and if there were, you couldn't adjust it by hand only."

"Dr. Mayo," Dr. Palmer said to the world-renowned clinician, "while you are here, we are going to ask you to keep your mouth shut."

Dr. Palmer performed readings with the neurocalometer and neurocalograph, then analyzed the patient's spinographs. Afterward, he gave her an upper cervical chiropractic adjustment to release spinal cord compression from the vertebral occlusion in her spinal canal.

After the chiropractic adjustment, Dr. Mayo asked, "Is that all you are going to do? What is wrong with my wife? Where is she sick? What is your diagnosis?"

Dr. Palmer replied, "We don't know. What is more, we don't care."

"You are a very ignorant man," retorted Dr. Mayo.

"We are ignorant of everything you think we should know," countered B.J.

After a pause, Dr. Palmer spoke again. "You, too, are a very ignorant man. You are ignorant of everything we think you should know about the cause of disease in the backbone of sick people. We know cause; you know there is a difference or you wouldn't be here. That's the difference in your approach, which has done your wife no good, and our approach, which will get your wife well."

"That remains to be seen," Dr. Mayo replied.

Dr. Palmer continued: "I am ignorant of everything you think I should know about disease of the sick. You know all this, and what good has it done your wife? The fact that you brought her here proves your methods have failed. Because of reports of the success of our methods of vertebral subluxation and adjustment, you brought your wife here to us."

Mrs. Mayo received chiropractic care for several months and went home well. Dr. Mayo stated it was impossible for her to get well with what Palmer did, yet he also admitted she was well.

Dr. Palmer expounded: "Medical doctors are concerned in knowing everything about effects, while chiropractors are vitally concerned in the cause in the backbone and how to correct it. What a difference between medical care and chiropractic care! A patient can come to the B.J. Palmer Chiropractic Clinic and be deaf, dumb, and blind - not telling or indicating anything - and we could and would locate the cause of whatever, wherever he had it; we adjust him and send him home well. It is as simple as that."

I was on the staff of the B.J. Palmer Chiropractic Clinic in 1953-54. Although "Dr. Charlie" had passed away in 1939, during that time, 60 to 80 percent of our patients were referred by "someone" on the staff of the Mayo Clinic.
