Why Chiropractic?

 Natural Health Family, it’s good to speak with you again. Imagine you all are well or getting better. The past weekend had me thinking about how our country and the world we live in now has so much illness. Why many have accepted that illness or dis-ease is normal, maybe because it is more common. October has been deemed chiropractic month. I am not sure why October specifically is the month for chiropractic but let’s take a deep dive into how it all came to be. 

Chiropractic comes from the Greek words cheir and praxis meaning hand and practice. So chiropractic means literally a practice done by the hands. Now if we look back in time, that is not the only aspect of what birthed chiropractic. In 1895, Dr. Daniel David Palmer had realized a solution to a man’s hearing by adjusting a bone in the body and allowing the man’s hearing to come back. David Palmer (D.D.) was an intellectual and curious person who wanted to know further as to why this was the case. To keep the story short, he started to understand that the human body is able to heal when there is no interference. He started to see that illness or health issues were abnormal and that health was the normal state of the body. So with this understanding he decided to investigate scientifically how our bodies function and what causes issues in the first place. Then, the art or technique to bring about health is what we know as the chiropractic adjustment. 


When DD Palmer founded chiropractic he was able to help people with many issues, not only pain of the body such as in the neck, head, and back, but also many other issues such as ranging from digestion, bowel issues, blood pressure, sleep, energy, and the list goes on. As we start to switch from thinking that sickness is common to health is normal we will start to change the way we understand how our bodies can heal and restore the health of not only this country but the rest of the world.


Thanks for reading.

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...

The Need to Be Right

The Need to Be Right             I’m sure that you have talked with people and discovered their need to be right. Everyone wants others to emotionally feel close to them and that what they are doing, whatever it is, is the right way to do it or is best. Many people we have talked to, have been doing things a certain way for years, or decades, or even for generations. In their mind all that time makes it seem right. The question to ask though-is it? Many of these notions are based on outdated or uninformed ideas and may have even worked well for a while but the end result is not turning out as expected. It may also take some time, as in years or decades, to see the results of a wrong idea or a wrong action. You may have heard the expression about being “happy in your misery” or “being dead right”. These are expressions about people thinking they are doing the right thing but in reality, they’re not.     ...

Communication

  Natural Health Family, how is everyone doing? I hope everyone enjoyed the beautiful weekend and got some sunshine. Today let’s talk about communication and why it is important in our lives and for our own health.  Last weekend I explored Colorado. I went snowboarding and hiked a good amount also. I learned a lot just by getting out in nature and noticing different aspects of the forest and parks. One characteristic of the forest that I found interesting was the aspen trees. It appeared that they would appear sporadically in the forest and in groups. I was curious and wanted to learn more about them. I found out that the different aspen trees or tree trunks are not separate but they actually function as one tree. The roots of the tree are well connected so that they are able to communicate and act as one organism. I found this interesting because we tend to think that the whole tree is only about what is on the surface of the ground rather than all the roots and connections...
