Republicans Vs. Democrats? Hardly.I feel it is unfortunate that people feel the health care bill is
one of Democrats Vs. Republicans. I couldn't see that as being farther from the truth. After all, there were Democrats who
voted against this health bill, and Republicans who voted for some other versions.
First of all, it is possible
I would benefit financially as a chiropractor from some of the implementation that may occur. But as an individual, I see
this as a basic interpretation of what our constitution allows the federal component of our governing bodies to do or not
to do.
What is a right and what is not a right. If it were really about what people need, then food and shelter
would be far higher on the list than "health" (drugs & surgery) care.
But the constitution does not
"entitle" us to the consumption of anything. Nor does it mandate that anyone must provide a product or service to
any other individual. Nor does it mandate that all citizens must purchase any product or service. We are only entitled to
"the pursuit" of what we desire.
The real question here is: What is the role of government?

10% of your genes!So far it has been found that sunlight affects nearly 10% of your genes.
The human body has about 30,000 genes and scientists have so far determined that vitamin D affects at least 2,000 of them.
All in a positive way.
In fact, vitamin D is really a hormone, and has a positive influence on at least
17 types of cancer, heart disease, stroke, hypertension, autoimmune diseases, diabetes, depression, chronic pain, osteoarthritis,
osteoporosis, muscle weakness, muscle wasting, periodontal disease, and more!
But should you supplement with vitamin
D? Did you know that some supplements can negatively impact how vitamin D effects your body?
For more information,
please click on this site for the Vitamin D Council to read more detailed information about how vitamin D can help keep you healthy.
And remember, monthly adjustments
help keep your body functioning at it's optimum through clear brain / body signaling.
Yours in Health,

21 DaysYears ago someone shared some research with me about nerve compression
/ irritation. The findings from this particular study found that if nerve tissue remained under constant irritation for greater
than 21 days, there was some permanent cellular damage that remained even after removing the irritation.
When your
spine is under stress, strain, tension or imbalance - so too is your nerve system. By getting chiropractic adjustments you
free the restriction and tension of both your body's framework AND of your nerve system.
Your nerve system is the
master system of the body, it runs everything else. By making sure you get adjustments at least monthly, you are using one
of the most powerful tools of health creation known to mankind.

Lose weight in 5, … 2, … 1, … and 0!And best of all, it’s free! You don’t have
to buy any special weight loss products, you don’t have to follow someone’s special exercise routine, and it works
for kids too.
In fact, this comes from the American Academy of Pediatrics, so I guess you could say it works for
adults too. So how about it?
Do it yourself and set an example for any children you may have. In Colorado we have the prestigious ranking of being the leanest
in the United States, but overall, 1 in 3 American children are now considered obese. Not overweight, obese!
So here it is:
5: Eat 5 servings
of vegetables and fruits daily. Eat more vegetables than fruits, and eat as much of this raw as possible.
2: Limit your “screen time” to 2 hours or less each day. This is television, video games, computer time,
etc.
1: Get physically active for 1 hour every day. You really want to lose weight? You
really have to sweat.And you really need at least one hour.
0: Drink 0 sweetened drinks. None
sweetened with sugar. None sweetened with artificial sweeteners. None sweetened with high fructose corn syrup. None sweetened
with fructose. None sweetened with agave. Starting to get it? Zero, zip, nada.
If you master this could you refine it further? Of course, but you cannot become
a master until you become a student, so start with getting the basics under control and advance from there.
In my article, The Secret to Health & Happiness,
you may recall these 3 steps.
1. Exercise.
2. Eat real food.
3. Get adjusted.

The Secret to Health and HappinessOver and over again we find that the greatest truths
are often the simplest ones. Are you plagued by a health issue or condition that you can’t seem to resolve? The answer
is likely far more simple than you expect. But beware, you may not like the answer(s).
Humans easily fall into habits and patterns; likes and dislikes, what tastes “good”
and what doesn’t, what you do with your time or don’t, what you like to feel, or don’t, etc.
The
reason these simple answers are often difficult is for two primary reasons. First, each person must take “ownership”
for their situation, and second, they must be willing to make personal changes in their habits and patterns, doing what may
initially be “uncomfortable” or “unpleasant”.
So are you ready? Do you want to know the secrets to health? Do you think that when
you’re truly healthy you have a much greater propensity to be happy?
Here goes.
1.
Exercise.
2.
Eat real food.
3.
Get Chiropractic adjustments.
Do you think it’s too good
to be true? How do you know? Have you ever tried it?
Some of you may excel in one area, but have you really put
all 3 in place and put them to the test? Let’s
very briefly, but succinctly, elaborate on these.
For those who have one of the areas truly under control, it’s
“description” will likely be redundant, but I often find that many lack a proper understanding of the most basic
principles.
Exercise: Yes, we’ve all heard that even just getting out and taking a 20 minute
walk is good for us. True. But exercise that will change your life really means that you have to have a good sweat for 20-60
minutes daily. Yes, you have to learn to love to sweat, as well as some of the perceived “pain” that goes along
with it to make it happen. Exercise your lungs, exercise your muscles, and stretch your body. Movement is life. So if you
are truly doing this properly, walking the dog doesn’t cut it. Got it?
Eat real food: Most
people have been truly scammed on this one, from elementary age upward, there are lots of lies. First of all, if it can’t
go rotten, be very suspicious. How can it be real food? Next, if it has ingredients that you can’t pronounce, they’re
probably toxic. Most of those things accumulate in your body tissues, increasing their toxic effects slowly over time. In
addition they are usually bio-addictive, meaning, they are like drugs in their effects of training your system to want more.
Solution? Eliminate boxes, packages, cans and pre-bagged or frozen items as much as possible. Shop the “horseshoe”
(the perimeter of the store) and stay out of the aisles of death. Eat more food raw. Dark colored fruits and vegetables almost
always have more powerful anti-oxidants and greater nutritional qualities. Same with “bitter” tasting foods and
spices.
Get Chiropractic
Adjustments: Most people were never taught about this. It’s
like the great mystery. Sure getting adjusted makes your back and neck feel better, but get this – that’s not
what it’s for! Your nerve system controls all functions in your body and is responsible for creating and maintaining
your body health. Your spine protects much of your nerve system but spinal stress and distortion will create tension and strain
on your nerve system.
Your nerve system uses electrical signaling that can be measured, to communicate between
your brain and body. Stress on this system creates electrical distortion, much like static on your mobile phone, and therefore
interferes with the normal clear communication between brain and body.
So getting chiropractic adjustments is
truly about maintaining good clear signaling between your operating system (brain) and the parts (cells, organs, systems)
that it controls. Your healing power comes from within, not a pill.
(Why do some in the medical community
dislike chiropractic? Because if we’re right - then they’re wrong. Simple as that. And there are billion$ at stake.)
Those are the three most powerful
methods of creating and maintaining health in your body that will ever exist. Are there others? Yes, many. But you have to
have a home before you can update it and redecorate it, so you simply can’t skip the basics. For most of us, a healthy body is a foundation for happiness that not even money
can replace, therefore health and happiness go hand in hand.
If you don’t believe it than talk to anyone
who has all the money they need but have lost their health and you will find every time they would exchange all their money
for the return of a well functioning body.

Dr.
