Let’s start this off very clearly: The body has everything it needs to be healthy! If you are
currently in a state of dis-ease or illness, guess who is to blame?? You are!!
If you “happened” to get sick, 95% of the time it's not due to some virus,
bacteria, or genetics. It's you. Ya, YOU. The one who decided to treat your body
like a trashcan and feed it food-like substances instead of real food. The one
who didn't get adequate sleep, spent all day indoors neglecting natural
sunlight and somehow forgot the body is designed to MOVE. The one who
consistently chose to focus on the negative rather than the positive, to gossip,
and to circulate worry, stress, and fear around all those who come in contact
with you. You broke the laws of nature, so nature naturally broke you.
Now, you can continue to live blindly and continue to play
victim of the system or you can awaken to a new state of reality and
self-responsibility. You can decide now to quit the blame game and live a life
full of purpose, love, and joy. If the opportunity to do such was available,
would you take it? Would you put in the work necessary to succeed? If not,
expect little change in your life. If so, welcome to the new world paradigm.
If you decide to forge this new path toward
self-realization, responsibility, and natural healthy living, I commend you. Be
aware though that as you begin to break the field of mediocrity, you may be
overwhelmed by a feeling of "stuckness”. You want to make moves, you want
change, but you feel flat out stuck. Fortunately, I know a way out. If you are
ready to break your bad habits and live within the laws of nature, I highly
recommend you investigate Chiropractic. You may say, "What the hell does
my neck and back pain have to do with awakening a shift in consciousness?"
Well, glad you ask. The adjustment is not only a great remedy for neck pain,
back pain, headaches, otitis media, colic, etc... But, it also has a HUGE
effect on the brain. Cutting edge science is providing the proof of how an
adjustment has the ability to affect how we think and help re-wire the daily
programming we operate on.
The central nervous system (CNS) is
adaptable throughout life. Changes in the afferent input lead to changes in CNS
functioning. These plastic changes may occur in a manner that is positive for
the individual, such as with motor learning to enable complex finger movement
(e.g. playing the piano). This is known as adaptive neuroplasticity. Plastic
changes may also occur in a manner that has negative outcomes, known as
maladaptive neural plastic changes… Areas of spinal dysfunction, represent a
state of altered afferent input which may be responsible for ongoing plastic
changes including altered sensorimotor integration (SMI), disturbed motor
output and functional performance. These maladaptive neural plastic changes may
be normalized by a high velocity low amplitude manipulation.1
A better understood analogy can be used when you compare
chiropractic to your very own electronic devices. What do you usually do when
your computer starts getting sluggish, or your phone freezes? You reboot it
right? Chiropractic acts as a reboot to the faulty wiring and firing of your
nerve system.
Episodes of acute pain with injury,
may induce plastic changes in the sensorimotor system including dysfunctional
motor control of spinal joint segments, that is, the manipulable lesion that
Doctors of Chiropractic treat. Cervical spinal manipulation may alter cortical
integration of dual somatosensory input and help elucidate mechanisms
responsible for pain relief and restoration.2
Chiropractic adjustments are a natural way to positively affect the
brain without creating unintended negative consequences for the body. If you
are stuck in "stinking thinking", don't rely on toxic pharmaceuticals
such as anti-depressants to get you out of your funk. You can't correct the
cause of mental toxicity with more toxicity. It's not even logical. How many
people do you know on an anti-depressant say, "Man, I'm sure glad I took
that Prozac, I’m never going to be depressed again.” Let me
answer for you, none! The truth is they take it to "cope" because
they gave up on their own body’s ability to heal itself naturally. They decided
to go against the laws of nature and relinquish their self-responsibility and
rely on some concoction a bio-chemist conjured up to UN-naturally chemically
alter the brain. When we alter the brain in an un-natural way, you are left
with a list of side-effects, such as: “mood or behavior changes, anxiety, panic
attacks, trouble sleeping, impulsive behavior, irritability, agitation,
hostility, aggressiveness, restlessness, hyperactivity (mentally or physically),
more depressed, thoughts about suicide or hurting yourself, severe blistering,
peeling, and red skin rash, very stiff (rigid) muscles, high fever, sweating,
fast or uneven heartbeats, tremors, overactive reflexes, nausea, vomiting,
diarrhea, loss of appetite, feeling unsteady, loss of coordination; or headache,
trouble concentrating, memory problems, weakness, confusion, hallucinations,
fainting, seizure, shallow breathing or breathing that stops.” Ya, and that’s
not even half the list.
So, maybe those people that chose toxic drugs over
chiropractic just didn’t know better. Maybe they weren’t giving up but just
didn’t know of a better way. Let me inform you that those that are awake take responsibility
for their own actions. Those in the know choose chiropractic FIRST!
Abide by the laws of nature before nature breaks you. Eat
well, move well, sleep well, think well, and begin to understand and experience
all that regular chiropractic care has to offer. I hope by reading this article
something may have just clicked for you. I hope that you found HOPE. And if you
have, please share this article with all of your suffering and unaware loved
ones. They need it just as much as you.
