Darkness & Light in Regards To Health

Happy Easter to all those who celebrate it and happy spring to all others. Springtime marks the time for new beginnings. A time, especially in the situation at hand, that creates change in our lives. In what seems to be a time of darkness and confusion, we will emerge in a new light. 

Let’s talk about darkness and light in regards to health. It is our human nature when we get hurt or have a certain health problem come up we look outside of us for answers. We tend to think that we must have “caught” something when we feel ill. Like the primitive man before, if a branch fell from a tree and hit us we would naturally think that pain and illness happens from outside the body. We would then be focused on our external environment and always scanning what is around us that may cause us ill. When we think this way, we become more focused on the problem or darkness of our lives. This causes us to always seek answers to why we have a problem or what the problem is. We tend to seek other opinions of the problem or the darkness in our lives. It’s like standing in a dark room and continuing to  wonder where the darkness is coming from. However, instead of looking for second opinions to the problem or where it may be coming from, let’s flip the switch and turn on the light, the light being the healing ability of the body. When we focus on our health rather than our problems, we increase the light in our lives helping us to shine a brighter path for others. .

When looking at problems that we face as a dis-ease of the body rather than a disease of the body, we give ourselves the power back to take our health into our own hands. We let go of being a victim of our lives so that we can express our healing potential. 

These current times especially  have forced  us to realize the importance of taking care of ourselves so we can adapt to a change in our environments. There will always be change in our lives giving us stress which makes us adapt and grow. When we are healthy, we are able to adapt to those changes which makes us stronger. If we are not healthy, then we have a more difficult time to change which causes further issues.  When we focus on our health and well being rather than the outside environment, we fill ourselves with hope and faith rather than worry and fear. This furthermore gives us more drive to do the things we want to do and more energy to live a life worth living. 

    It was said in the last post but is also appropriate for this one. “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us… “- Marianne Williamson. Making good health choices and taking back our control gives us more energy. We must give ourselves the opportunity to grow and shine our light to lessen the darkness that surrounds us. Chiropractic adjustments help increase energy to the nervous system allowing you to adapt and  live healthier and happier. Here’s to a great Spring! Thanks for reading.

Good Food, Digestion and Absorption

  Hello Everyone in Natural Health Nation-                 I hope that you had a great Thanksgiving and were actually grateful for all the food that we ate. There is a lot of good foods in the Thanksgiving meal, but also some that probably weren’t the best for us. We will just have to get back on the good eating bandwagon so that we stay healthy through the rest of these holidays coming up. I try to remind people to stay hydrated because it’s easy to forget to drink water and get your electrolytes. Staying hydrated just helps so many systems of the body and helps the pH to stay correct, which helps keep the bugs, which are in us and on us at all times, under control.                 We had a great Black Friday Open House/Patient Appreciation Day and were very thankful for the folks that came out and enjoyed some food and drink, an...

Breast Health

  Hello Everyone in Natural Health Nation-             Aren’t the trees beautiful? Fall is such a beautiful time of year and the weather has been outstanding. I hope you were able to get outside and increase your vitamin D stores for the winter. Remember that vitamin D is activated by sunlight so it’s important to get some. Vitamin D is also an oil soluble vitamin so you must be consuming good fats in order to have a good vitamin D source. If you get into the science of vitamin D, you’ll find it comes from cholesterol so the mainstream medicines war on cholesterol causes vitamin D levels to be low and this causes lots of immune system problems and other issues. We help our patients be able to digest and absorb fats and watch that their vitamin D levels are optimum.             The article I’m sending along this week looks at screenings and mammograms and how they can be...
  Hello everyone and natural health Nation -      Well we finally got some rain and now I’m beginning to wonder if we could turn it back off. It seems we're never happy - ha. I was surprised to see that the ground had dried out that much in a fairly short amount of time but with the rain we had this weekend, everything should be good for quite a while. I was happy to see the grass and everything green back up and the corn and beans are just growing like mad. We were working out in the rain on Saturday to finish some jobs and it was nice that it was warm. I'm sure we'll get lots of sunshine as the summer progresses and probably need more rain at some point too.      The article I'm sending along today looks at what happens to the human body when you eat processed foods. This is a problem during the summer when everyone gets into vacation mode and doesn't eat nearly as well as they did in the Spring. It's one of our problems in o...
