Shaw Family Chiropractic

In our fast paced society where drive through windows and microwave food is common place, patients also want instant gratification when it comes to their health problems. But in chiropractic, just because results don’t come right away doesn’t mean you ‘can’t get no satisfaction…’

Chiropractic Principle #6 brings levity to this dilemma. It simply states “there is no process that does not require time…” Take a plant out of the sun and over time it will wilt to near death. Expose that same plant again to sunlight and over time it will restore itself. It won’t perk up instantly, but it can over time.

The same goes for you. Without enough nerve energy (subluxation), over time your body parts wilt, get sick and eventually die. Restore nerve energy (adjust-ment) and over time they will perk up and become healthy again… but it takes time.

Tiiiiime is on your side… YES IT IS!

When you’re inconsistent with your care or quit all together, it’s like moving a wilting plant in and out of a dark closet, limiting its time in the sun. Without prolonged exposure to Life giving light, it can’t grow healthy and neither can you.

For 2010, make the commitment to stay Subluxation free for longer periods of time and you’ll get the results you’re hoping for. As long as you’re free from nerve interference, time will be on your side!

Could you imagine how much money you would have to have to be able to spend $609,000 a day?  What would you expect to receive for that amount of money?  Who has that kind of money to spend, especially during a “recession”?

According to the latest issue of Time magazine, in the first 6 months of this year, the pharmaceutical industry spent about $609,000 a day to influence lawmakers.   Can you imagine the financial payoff they must expect to get to be able to spend that kind of money?   This does not include all the money they spend on advertising as well.   The drug industry has 1,228 registered lobbyists. This equals 2.3 lobbyists for every member of congress. Obviously, the pharmaceutical industry does not want to be left out of the current healthcare reform debate and are willing to pay handsomely to make sure they aren’t.

The return on that investment has already been considerable.  As drug lobbyist Jim Greenwood says, “we’ve done very well.”    So…is there any connection between the incredible hysteria over the swine flu and the profitability of the vaccines created to fight this?  I certainly don’t know for sure but as my father always told me, “follow the money trail.”

This week  President Obama declared a State of Emergency concerning the swine flu.   They say it’s a proactive attempt to fight the illness.  It might be,  but realize that many of your rights can be bypassed in a “State of Emergency”.  What nexted..  forced vaccinations?  At this point everyone is saying no, but in a “State of Emergency” it seems that they could do this.  Very scary to say the least!

So lets all take a collective deep breath and remember again where health and healing come from…FROM WITHIN.   Your body was created with an inborn, INNATE INTELLIGENCE.    It was present from the time you were 1 cell and remains with you to this very second.   Without an innate intelligence you could not live or adapt to your environment.   Think about the processes that occurring to keep you alive and the overall miracle we call LIFE…

In one square inch of your hand has nine feet of blood vessels, 600 pain sensors, 9000 nerve endings, 36 heat sensors and 75 pressure sensors.

Your brain is more complex than the most powerful computer and has over 100 billion nerve cells.

You give birth to 100 billion red cells every day.

Your heart beats around 100,000 times every day.

Your blood is on a 60,000-mile journey.

Your DNA would stretch to the moon and back 8000 times.

You have around 42 billion blood vessels Incredible!!!

Thankfully God gave you an internal,  inborn intelligence to create and control all of that.

We need to begin to trust this innate intelligence to help us stay healthy and happy.  Innate needs no help, just no interference.  Interference comes from a Subluxation which is a misaligned bone that puts pressure on the nervous system.  Chiropractors are trained to locate a subluxation and CLEAR it with a SPECIFIC, SCIENTIFIC AJUSTMENT allowing for a more complete EXPRESSION of LIFE within you.  Look within for health.  Get in this week so we can make sure you and your family are CLEAR… Now that’s worth $609,000 plus a day!

With all the talk about health care reform, national health care and government health care, I couldn’t help but think of this quote and how much it applies to the current situation.  What we currently call health care couldn’t be any further from “health” care.  It is widely agreed upon, even in the medical community, that what we have is a “sick” care or “crisis” care system.  The majority of what is done today is aimed at the diagnosis and treatment of disease.

Health is not the diagnosis and treatment of anything.   Health is a state of the body when it is FUNCTIONING at its optimum, at 100%.   So health care then would be anything that helps to improve the FUNCTION of the body. Health is something that must be worked on, on a continuous basis.   Eating right, exercising, sleeping well and having positive thoughts are all examples of health-ful behaviors.   In other words, doing those things on a regular basis will improve the FUNCTION of your body.   This is fact. There really is nothing to discuss when it comes to those behaviors.

The last aspect for HEALTH, is to look at what controls all the FUNCTIONS of the body. According to Gray’s Anatomy: the NERVOUS SYTEM controls and coordinates every FUNCTION of the human body. Therefore for proper function to occur within the body the nerve system has to be functioning properly and without interference. The INNATE INTELLIGENCE within each and every one of us is what does all the healing. It is what beats the heart, digests food, heals a cut and keeps you from getting sick. Innate intelligence travels over the nervous system to every part of the body.

When a spinal bone moves out of its proper alignment the result can be pressure upon nerves which interferes with the transmission of the mental impulses coming from the brain and going to the entire body. The result is an inability for the body to properly heal and regulate itself, which equals dis-ease, or lack of ease, or lack of harmony and FUNCTION.

Until we as a society first understand what health is and then take PERSONAL RESPONSIBILTY for doing what it takes to be healthy, we will never have TRUE HEALTH CARE REFORM.  Getting more people covered in a system that rewards everyone when people are SICK is not gonna cut it.  Whether it is private or government to me is not the MAJOR ISSUE   The issue is understanding what health is and doing what it takes to be healthy. – Dr. Rob
