Which Path Are You On?

August 6th, 2009

When I look at the current state of health in an individual, I see two different paths people are on.  The first and by far the most common is the path of degeneration, disease and destruction.  The second is the path of health, life and vitality.  The question is which one are YOU on?

Everyday I encounter people that honestly believe the path has been chosen for them and little if anything they can do will change that for them.  I had a 42 year old new patient that from appearance looked to be in pretty good health, however after reading his intake form I was astounded by the number of problems he had.  When I took the time to ask him about his condition, he told me things had just been getting worse over the past few years.  He told me he has been through the proverbial medical ringer and their current diagnosis is that he is just not as young as he used to be.  The worst part about it, he believed them.  I told him that was insane to think that @ 42 the best of your life is over and it has been for at least a couple of years!  I asked him if he was “ok” with that?  He answered, now that you point it out that way, I guess I’m not.  How many times have you had a diagnosis and were given a reason like this?

People everyday are given this kind of news and they feel powerless.  Take someone who is having any type of health complication that they are concerned about then just tell them its their genes, they are just to old or their bodies now need help forever to function better by taking drugs.  I bet if you have ever been diagnosed with something significant you have heard one of these as the reason for your problem.  Someone on this path, if they choose to believe it, will be on the “common” path of health destruction.  People on this path die prematurely and often times end up in nursing homes where they try to keep them comfortable until they die.  If you ask the people in the nursing homes if this was how they envisioned their final years I guarantee they would say NO.  The sad reality is that a few months ago I was reading an article on a good place to invest money over then next 5 years.  It said to invest into long-term care facilities(nursing homes)  because as the baby boomers continue to age and with the declining state of health in our country, demand is going to go through the roof.  Sad isn’t it?

On the other hand, one of the joys in my life is seeing people change their paths.  Seeing people getting empowered to take back their health.  The human spirit is so powerful and when hope is given to it watch out.  People that are shown the path of health, life and vitality very seldom will ever want to go back down the other path.(Why would they?)

Can you imagine a life not dependant on medications?  Can you see yourself having joy filled times  with your family doing the things you love?  Can you see yourself with the energy of a normal 18 year old, being free to do what want without the fear of how bad you are going pay for it tomorrow?  If you can’t see this, let us show it to you!  We have multiple opportunities for you to become familiar with this new transformed vision.

First up Friday the 7th we are having movie night(check out our calander on our website for details)

Then Satudary the 15th we are have our Maximized Living Makeover, Our block buster can’t miss event!  Lives are transformed here, come ready!

To wrap up the month, the 22nd is our vaccine and toxicity workshop.  Time to let everyone know about the dangers of toxicity and how vaccines are severely damaging our children as well as adults.

All these events are listed on a our calendar or you can call the office for more information.

Are You Living To Your Potential?

July 27th, 2009

Everybody is where they are at right now because of the the years, days, hours and minutes that have past and the decisions they made in that present time.  So the real question is where are you going?  Are you making decisions to help you live to your potential or are you spending all your time making sure you will keep the status quo?

There is nothing wrong with the status quo as long as you have the life of your dreams and you are living to your potential.  Why sell yourself short?  You are here for a reason and that purpose not only affects you but all the people around you.

So what is stopping you from changing and improving your current reality.  When it comes to health, do you spend time with it daily to insure good decisions are being made?  Remember you are where you are at today because of the choices you have made up to this point.  If you don’t like where your health is at, what should be your first step?

First, can you see yourself differently than your current status?  So many people can’t change aspects in their life because they have no ability to see anything different than their current reality.  You say to yourself, I am this person with this condition and I foresee myself dealing with this forever.  Kind of sounds like what people deal with everyday when they go into the medical model insearch of that diagnosis to explain their current condition.  Once they get the diagnosis, now they have answers and then are told to take medications to control the symptoms forever.  Hard to see things differently when you are not given hope for a better future.

If our thoughts and actions in the past have led us to our current state, does it make sense then that our present thoughts will determine our future?  So, When would it be a good time to start to see your health and life differently unless it is “perfect” now?  The time is now!  Spend some time today seeing yourself healthy, happy, full of energy and doing the things you love to do.  How different does that look than your current reality?

I have a patient that for so many years  has taken Rx medications along with the ironically less dangerous illegal drugs for so long he was afraid of what life would be like without them.  He could not see himself with out them, they were just a part of him.  When he came into our office and starting getting care, his results were slow to progress.  I sat with him one visit and asked him what tomorrow looked like for him.  He said it looked like today.  He explained his daily routine and then told me it had been that way for years.  So I asked him if he thought he could heal and get better?  He said “sure”.  So I asked him if tomorrow looks like today, how is that going to ever change?  He said, “I don’t know but I want it to change.”  I asked him if he expected it to change?  He said, “I guess not if tomorrow looks like today!”  Wow what a powerful thing for him to say.  Since that conversation he has transformed his life and is dramatically healthier today than he has been in 25 years.

Now most of you probably are not in this same exact situation, but minus the illegal drug use  unfortunately it describes the masses in our country.  People suffering needlessly, stuck in their current situation and wanting something different but not expecting it.  Are you living to your potential?  For 99% of the people in the US the answer is probably NO.

What do you need to suceed?  One thing is hope that you can change and improve.  In our office we get to see that happen everyday.  Next you need the ability to see yourself differently.  See you, the new you with health, vitality and energy you haven’t had since you were a kid.  Third you need a plan and a support network that is going to show you the possibilities and help you make them your new reality.   Lastly you need people in your life that have either been there themselves and/or has helped thousands of people just like you make that change.

Our office offers all these things to every patient that comes into our office.  My vision is that everyone plugs into our office and really lets their potential out!  We have got two life changing events coming up over the next couple of weeks.  The first is our movie night fetauring the film Generation Rx on August 7th from 6:15-8:15pm.  Then our next Maximized Living Makeover is also just around the corner and already filling up with people ready to change their current health state forever.  SAVE THE DATE:  August 15th from 1:30-4:30.  Call the office @ 720-747-5333 for more infomation and to register for both events.

Be Well,

Where is your health at?

July 15th, 2009

Where is your health at currently? If it is not where you want it to be, why? What things in your life are preventing you from regaining health? What is the “CAUSE” of your current situation?

Today we are going to help you learn about your body, how it functions, why and when symptoms appear and finally what is the best way to find out how your body is functioning and healing currently.

Most people admit that our bodies have an innate or inborn healing mechanism inside of it. If you get a scrape on your leg, your body knows what to do to heal it. From a simple scrape to heart disease or cancer, the body knows what to do to heal it. Thousands of times a day your body make changes, fixes problems, destroys cancer cells and heals your injuries.

Now lets talk about our healing system and symptoms. First thing, symptoms are a sign something is wrong in your body and is actually your body performing just the way it is supposed to. So many people view symptoms negatively, although I realize why, they know that it is a sign something is wrong, but the body is acting appropriately to try to fix the problem. We are obsessed in this country with getting rid of symptoms which often times either inhibits our bodies natural healing process and/or makes the problem worse due to side-effects….ie: Tylenol.

Where does all healing come from? You guessed it, your brain and spinal cord. Is it important to eat right, exercise, decrease stress in your life and limit toxic exposure? Of course it is, how ever if you severely damage your spinal chord, does it really matter what you eat? So lets talk about health and finish this conversation on symptoms.

When your are living by the 5 Essentials of Maximized Living: Detoxing the body, restoring proper nervous system function, eating right, exercising (12 minutes/week) and finally maximizing your mind with cutting edge techniques for stress reduction and time management, you are doing everything possible to have our body function at 100%

The life/health cycle of the average American

100%: Living the 5 Essentials.

90%: Body beginning to get unplugged from its life source.

80%: Disease Process is happening.

70%: Breakdown of cells, tissue, organs and organ systems.

60%: Your first symptoms start to show up and most medical

tests will finally start to show positive results. Some

people take action at this point while others will wait to see

if it goes away or they will self treat with over the counter

medications.

50%: Diagnosis occurs from the medical perspective. Treatment of

symptoms begins.

40%: Although symptoms may be getting better, the disease process

continues lowering your health level.

30%: Your treatment side-effects are harming and destroying other cells,

organs and organ systems.

20%: You get checked into the hospital for advanced life saving treatment

or surgery.

10%: Your admitted to a nursing home or some full time care facility.

0%: Is death.

As somber as this graph is, realize that you have a choice at what level you are living. The way we view health in this country is a major contributor to the declining health we see today. We are taught to wait for symptoms to show up and then seek help for the treatment of our symptoms. Even if the treatment “works” and our symptoms decline that has not stopped the disease process from progressing. For example, if you have high blood pressure that is often a sign of cardiovascular disease developing. If you take a medication that lowers your blood pressure artificially the symptom is taken care of but did it “cure” your disease or the cause of that symptom? The answer is no. That’s why heart disease is still the number 1 cause death by a disease in our country. It’s not because we don’t medicate ourselves as in the US we consume 70% of the worlds drugs and yet rank last in most health related categories.

At some point we need to take control of our health and realize the decision you make on a daily basis will determine your future in health and all aspect of your life. The only way to know how your body is functioning and healing is know how your nervous system is functioning. The best way to determine that is by having a computerized nervous system scan along with an x-ray to look at spine structure.

UPCOMING EVENTS:

July 17th & 18th ~ Kids Spree in Aurora at Bicentennial Park on Alameda & Potomac.  Bring the kids to get checked!!  We’ll be there from 10:00-5:00 both days!

July 25th ~ Patient appreciation day and community BBQ.  Join us for food, fun and the ability to help everyone you know live a fuller life.  The BBQ will be at Settler’s Park located at 14800 E. Walsh Dr. in Aurora from 1:00-4:00.

August 7th ~ Movie night, join us for Generation RX at the Community College of Aurora in The Forum Lecture Hall from 6:00-8:00.

August 8th ~ Heaven Fest a day of prayer, music, praise and life changing chiropractic adjustments.  Look for the Maximized Living Stage: “God Doesn’t Make Junk”.  Go to Heavenfest.com for tickets and information!

August 15th ~ Maximized Living Makeover from 1:30-4:30.  This is your chance to completely plug into the 5 essentials.  This will be located at St. Paul Presbyterian Church located at 18901 E. Hampden Ave. in Aurora.

If you have any questions regarding the upcoming events feel free to call our office at 720.747.5333.

This summer is the time for you to make the decision to change your health and life for the better.  Become a leader to your family and friends they deserve it and it will benefit you in ways you can’t even imagine.

Be Well,

Removing The Interference

June 23rd, 2009

When people are experiencing different health related problems they will often go to the doctor looking for answers and treatment options for their condition.  People often forget where health comes from which makes the solutions they are looking for wrong.  If you get a headache, take Advil and it goes away, did you treat the system or the cause.  That’s right the symptom.  I guarentee the “cause” of your headache was not the lack of Advil in your body.  So how do you treat the cause?

A statement I have mentioned before comes to mind.  There is one cause of disease in the body, the interference of your God given ability to heal.  Every person has the ability inside of them to heal from any and all disease processes.  So we treat the “cause” of your problem by removing the interference.  Sounds simple enough, right?  It is.  Identify the interference, remove it and watch in amazement as your body heals your cancer, heart disease, diabetes or what ever disease you are suffering from.

At our office and all Maximized Living Offices we teach our patients about the 5 Essentials of good health.  Removing interference in these areas of your life will help ensure you are living upto your God given potential.

Essential #1:  Toxicity is all around us.  We breathe the air in our cities, drink the water, eat commerically grown food, ingest Rx and over the counter drugs, inject vaccines and medications into our bodies which bypasses our inborn detoxification systems and we wonder why we are toxic.  Remove the interference, in this case toxicity, and watch the body heal and function better.  We have to minimize the source of toxicity in our bodies but also need to recognize the need to detoxify our burdened bodies.

Essential #2:  Spinal chord and nervous system compression.  What happend to your heart if I cut the nerve supply going to it?  It ceases to function and you would die.  Understanding this, do you think it would be a good idea then put pressure on those same nerves going to your heart?  I hope you said no!  Performing adjustments, removing the compression and interference of nervous system function is the most life changing event that can  happen to someone.  I know that every time I remove a subluxation that body is healing and functioning better than it was just seconds earlier.  Remove the physical interference of a subluxation with an adjustment and watch the glory of God live in your body.

Essential #3:  Maximized Nutrients.  Most people know that eating fresh, unprocessed whole foods is better for you than your favorite fastfood establishment.  What people don’t know is just how much your food choices effect your health.  Imagine a cell that has been damaged and it needs certain nutrients to repair itself.  Would you like those nutrients to come from a McDonald’s chicken nuggent or fresh raw vegtables?  Now think about our children.  They are building, growing, developing and repairing their bodies at a very fast pace.  I want my children to build their bodies and cells with the best possible nutrients available.  This will help us ensure strong disease resistant cells.  We have to remove the interference in our diets to help our health and to function optimally.

Essential #4:  Maximized exercise and oxygenation.  We were designed to move!  With exercise and movement, we help with increasing blood supply to our tissues.  Our tissues need high levels of oxygen, nutrients along with the ability to rid itself of waste products.  Exercise helps make all of these things happen.  If you think you don’t have the time to do purposeful exercise than you need to log onto my other website:  www.maximizedlivingdrcummins.com and click on the 12 minute revolution icon.  If you can exercise 12 minutes per week, I can show you success.  We need to remove the interference of a sedentary lifestyle.

Essential #5:  Maximized mind and peace management.  Your thoughts, actions and intentions have a tremendous effect on your health.  Welcome to 2009 in the USA.  Two jobs or no jobs, soccer, t-ball, dance class, school, daycare, appointments, shopping all need to be done every week.  Most people take it as it comes and live in a heavily stressed out world.  High stress=decreased health.  There is not enough time to get it all done which leads to you not taking the time to remove the interference out of the other 4 areas we discussed earlier.  Now compound that with the damaging effects stress has on your health by itself and you have just found out why we live in the sickest, most depressed country in the world.

You see whether your are talking about removing the interference in the spine, a traditional way discussed in chiropractic or the other 4 essentials, without getting rid of the interference you are limiting your bodies God given ability to heal.  God doesn’t need help to heal us, he just needs no inteference!

We are holding our  next Maximized Living Makeover on August 8th.  We will be covering how to remove the interference from all areas of your life.  I recommend that you call our office and reserve your seat right away.  All those interested in making a change for the better can also join our 6 week makeover challenge and wind some great prizes.  Call 720-747-5333 for more information.

Be Well,

Finding The Solution To Your Health Problem

June 17th, 2009

So many people spend great amounts of time and money dealing with their current health problems.  They do so with little to NO results.  I had a conversation with a colleague this weekend while learning some new cutting edge techniques to further identify the cause of problems for my patients.  This doctor was 70 years old and by the looked and acted like he was maybe 60.  He told me he traveled to this seminar for the primary reason of getting to the bottom of his shoulder problem.  Our instructor is quite possibly the best extremity doctor in the world.  He told me he had not been able to run, play handball or golf they way he likes to for about 8 months.  The pain was even starting to effect how he adjusted his patients.

When I asked him what types of things he had been doing for it, he said he had been stretching and doing rehab techniques but was not having any success.  He decided it was time to solve his problem by truley identifying the problem and finding a solution.  When he was evaluated by the instructor he told him the problem was not in the true shoulder joint but in the scapulae(the shoulder blade).  He evaluated him, did one adjustment and the mechanics of the shoulder were restored.  He could lift his arm over his head and do so with no pain.  8 months of rehab on the shoulder and even adjusting the shoulder with little to no results, then one adjustment to the proper subluxation and we saw restored normal function to the joint.

This was an example of a pain issue that was being misdiagnosed.  Just like most pain and health conditions, people treat the symptoms with a multitude different modalities with no long term results.  Why, because they have not identified the true cause of the problem and therefore have not found a solution to the problem.  If you take blood pressure medication to control your blood pressure, is that fixing your problem?  High blood pressure which can be a sign of heart or other cardiovascular disease is a symptom of a bigger problem.  When you take the medication if things “work” the pressure will drop.  The thing people seem to not understand is that the disease process that was causing the issue continues to progress.  Your cardiovascular disease is getting worse you just are unaware of the symptoms now.

This is true with any medication you are taking.  If you don’t believe me answer this question.  Can you name a drug that is designed to “CURE” your problems?  I will give you partial credit if you say antibiotics but that is still not fully true.  Antibiotics assist the body by weakening the bacteria.  So if none of the drugs cure your problems, that means the disease progresses.  So not only do medications not “fix” any problems, I ask you if you have ever found a drug that doesn’t have a “side effect” or cause additional problems?  The answer is NO!

Just like the shoulder guy above, taking medications to regulate body function is like rehabing and treating the wrong joint for 8 months and wondering why things are not getting better.  You have to find a solution to your problem.  People everyday come into my office complaining of neck or back pain and after starting care with us tell us their heartburn goes away,  menstrual problems are gone, headaches are a thing of the past, fibromyalgia is gone, diabetes is better or depression is better.  By no means is this short list at all inclusive of the number of problems resolved by the body in our office once we identify the cause.

The foundation and principal of chiropractic states that there power that created you from two cells to 2 trillion cells is the same power that maintains you in existence.  That healing power needs no help just no interference.  When you have a subluxation or misaligned vertebrae, this compresses the spinal cord and inteferes with God’s healing power.  An adjustment to remove that interference is the most powerful thing I know.  Releasing that compression and allowing the body to heal and function at 100%, can there be something more powerful?

If you are tired of suffering, not living up to your potential and know there is more to life than taking a bunch of toxic medication just so you can function in your daily life.  If this is you or someone you know we have your answer.  On Saturday the 20th of June from 8-11 am we are holding our father’s day patient appreciation day.  People that are referred into our office on that day will receive their first 3 days in our office for free.  The will get a complete examination on day one, and adjustment on day 2 and a full reports of findings on day 3.  At the end of those 3 days you will know what the cause of your problem is and what your solution is as well.  Look forward to seeing you then.

Be Well,

Dr. Tim

Would you vote for socialized medicine?

June 11th, 2009

A question that should be on the minds of Americans.  As the President and our law makers discuss the future of healthcare in our country we need to be informed on what this will really mean for us going into the future.

With greater than 60% of all bankruptcies being primarily caused by medical bills, we need to look at changing something.  The even sadder fact is that over 50% of those people were fully covered by health insurance.  The answer unfortunately is not in fixing who pays for your healthcare.

Since we now know that our current healthcare system is the leading cause of death in our country, would it make sense to keep that system the same and then give everyone access to it?  Giving those not having insurance access to a broken healthcare system still doesn’t address the problem that we are the sickest industrialized country in the world.

Do people die everyday because of the lack of health coverage in our country?  I am quite sure they do.  I also know however that many more people die everyday for doing exactly what they are told by this same system because they were fully covered by insurance.

The point of all of this is that covering everyone will fix one of the problems we deal with in healthcare but it won’t even put a dent in the overall improvment of our overall healthcare system.  Just like many people particularly those with political power, we still ignore the giant elephant in the room.

The only way things are going to improve in our country is if we overhaul the entire mindset behind our medical model.  When are you taught to goto the doctor in our country?  When you have a problem, symptom or sign of disease.  We wonder why our country spends $2.4 Trillion on healthcare and its because it is always more expensive to treat a condition than it is to prevent it.  The medical community is rewarded in this country for doing heroic things to save lives.  Would it be in the best financial interest of your cardiologist to teach you what you need to do to not get heart disease or wait a while and put in a few $5,000 stents, that are not clinically proven to do much for you?  Better yet let’s wait to do open heart surgery now we are talking real money.  Studies have been done that prove you can reverse and so obviously prevent heart disease from happening.  Since it is the number cause of death by a disease, it might be a good idea to do more investigation.

If I could try to blame two things for our health crisis in America, it would be that we are taught to go to the doctor when we have symptoms only and the fact that there is no money in it for the doctors if they don’t have sick suffering individuals.  Think about it.  Your town or city has a Maximized Living Doctor on every corner in place of the Walgreens, Rite Aide or any number of other pharmacies that seem to be on every corner in my city.  People were taught the 5 Essential of good health and then we as a community took ownership of these principles.  As we improved our health what would become of the common medical doctor or pharmacy.  You guessed it they would get put out of business.  People in the business of providing true healthcare, not sick care disguised as healthcare, would flourish as our country climbed out of the basement and reached new potentials no one thought possible.

It can happen and will happen with Maximized Living leading the charge.  Our patients are our warriors and they help us in so many ways.  When people see those suffering needlessly, a simple recommendation can completely change their life.  I want to thank all of those that have helped us change our area one person at a time.  We live by a motto of “One More” because everyone can help one more person.  That one more person is someone’s father, mother, sister or brother and they deserve the right to know there is a better way.

So to answer the original question asked, “Would you vote for socialized medicine”, I would say by considering it we are wasting time ignoring the real problem at hand.  For those without health insurance, I am sure they would like it.  To be honest with you, 70% of my patients don’t use insurance in our office because even if they have “health” insurance it doesn’t cover our services.  Even if everyone is covered, if the policies stay they way they are now, they would only pay for disease care as they already do which means nothing changes.  I agree something needs to change but it is not as simple as just providing coverage for everyone.

To show our dedication to changing the health of our country, we are getting rid of any possible reason for someone to come into our office on Saturday, June 20th.  We are holding our patient appreciation day!  On that day anyone being referred to our office will receive their first 3 days in our office for FREE.  You will have all the information you will need to make an informed health decision before you have invested any money into your health.  Call our office ASAP as there is a limited number of appointments available on Saturday mornings.  720-747-5333

What does it take to regain and maintain health?

June 2nd, 2009

I recently had two conversations about regaining and  then maintaining health into the future.  The first was a person not yet a patient of ours that has been suffering needlessly over the past 10-15 years with multiple “medical conditions”.  The second was a retired couple that is beginning their 3rd year of care under the Maximized Living Model.  The biggest difference between the conversations was the confidence and certainty  the retired couple had that they were doing the right thing and feeling better as they are getting older.

The first conversation was with a middle aged female that we will call Sue.  Sue had been battling with multiple problems since she was a teenager.  The number of problems and their severity have increasing over the past 15 or so years.  When I asked her was she was currently doing to help herself, she told me she was seeing 5 specialists currently and taking 14 Rx medications.  One specialist was for her female disorders that included endometriosis, PMS and multiple difficulties with pregnancies.  This doctor had her on 3 medications to help her regulate her cycle and decrease symptoms.  She was also seeing a pain specialist for what she states is an ever changing diagnosis.  She was told she had fibromyalgia, then MS and now chronic fatigue complicated with fibromyalgia.  She had received multiple pain injections over the past few years along with multiple daily medications to help her deal with pain and fatigue.  All of these medications and specialists and still no answers.  She stated a few years ago she was sent to a mental health specialist for evaluation because  a few of her doctors were starting to wonder if the “pain was in her head”.  She was evaluated and told she was moderately depressed and given Paxil for treatment.  After about 2 months she reports having a follow-up appointment where she was told her depression was not responding to treatment so they added a second medication.  About 1 month later she reports she was under a lot of stress and she had an manic episode and felt tremendous anger towards a co-worker that she remembers got her in trouble with her boss.  So the next visit to her doctor included the addition of bipolar drug.  She told me she felt her life was totally out of control at this point.  She felt mentally unstable, had thoughts of suicide and still had the pain she was originally being treated for.   Suewas  feeling lost and hopeless.  She has not been given any reason to feel differently.  When your only option is more medication and that already hasn’t been working, where is the hope in that?  I hope and pray that she will come into our office to find out what we could do to help her.

On the other hand, my retired couple met with me to discuss recommendations for continuing care in our office.  First I want to say what a delight it is to have these people as part of our chiropractic family.  We started our conversation with me asking them how things have been going.  A question you would not typically want to ask a couple in their early 70’s, unless you had lots of time and wanted to here how terrible things are going.  To my delight the conversation started with how they used to have some pains and problems that limited them in numerous way.  Now these problems are a thing of the past.  They are more active than they were 5 years ago, have less health issues holding them back from truly enjoying life.  The have done a good job of plugging into the 5 essentials of Maximized Living we teach in our office.  Admittedly they told me they can do better than they are but are already getting great results.

So which life do you want?  The much younger lady has lost hope, deals with daily pain and has been told things such as “its in your your head” to “you will just have to learn to live with it.”  Nobody has to learn to live with it.  That would be one of the worst things someone could say.  You always have a choice to do something different.  You need to realize that when you empower yourself and take control of your health, things change.  You are the one that is responsible, not your doctor.  Doctor means teacher, to help teach people what they need to do to be healthy.  I take that definition literally.  I want to teach and lead each of my patients to better health through Maximized Living.

The choice is yours!  We are waiting with open arms to show people a better way.  The questions is, are you ready to make a commitment to your health and improve your life?

Be well,

Is it really that simple?

May 20th, 2009

People  in our society make choices about their health every day.  Whether they exercise today, eat right or not, these are all choices.  For the longest time I used to think that people really knew what the right thing to do was but they just chose not to do it.  Although I know that this is true for some, I honestly now understand many people just don’t know.

I believe everyone old enough to think rationally knows that a cheeseburger and fries with a soda at your favorite fast food chain is not as healthy as eating a fresh salad full of vegetables.  However, talking to people about how bad their food choices are is another story.  People buy into the advertising and misleading marketing ploys of food manufacturers and really think what they are doing isn’t that bad for them.  With our patients we will often have them keep a food diary for a few days and then assess areas of concern.  I had a consultation with a newer patient last week and out of  the 12 meals she wrote down over 5 days, 11 were either processed and/or prepackaged food.  She told me these things were convenient for her and due to her hectic schedule it was hard for her to do much different.

My patient felt she was making good choices because she was was eating things that said stuff like:  healthy choice, no fat, natural and low calorie.  While there are foods that occur in nature that are all of those things above, when you eat cookies that are fat free, you can bet there is something that is not right with that recipe.  People need to realize that our bodies were designed to take in whole foods, absorb the nutrients and build strong healthy cells.  When you feed your body “food-like things”, you don’t end up building a strong body.

We are seeing our children develop the diseases of old people right in front of our eyes.  Diabetes, cancer, heart disease, arthritis and depression just to name a few.  Medicine has an answer to these problems:  “let’s give them metformin for diabetes, chemo/radiation for cancer, lipitor for heart disease (starting at age 8), some NSAID for the arthritis and daily prozac for all children.”  We can replace a daily multi-vitamin for these instead.  Maybe the drug companies can make them cool shapes and colors so the kids will really like them.   They have a pill for every ill you know.

I have a better idea, see which one you think is better.  First let’s make sure our children’s nervous systems are functioning well.  We know that if we cut or damage nerve cells, then tissues, organs and individuals die.  Research has proven this since 1921.  To give our kids their best chance to develop and live to their potential, it starts here.

Second, our kids need to get off all the junk food (aka Kid Food) that is filled with chemicals, preservatives, high fructose corn syrup and many other anti-nutrients.  Children are building bodies that they need to use in the future.  Would you want a body made up of cells made from your favorite fast food place or a body full of cells made from high quality whole food nutrients?  People wonder why the diseases of the “old” are being seen in the “young” and the answer is clear.

Third, our kids need to move.  The computer/game age is having a terribly negative effect on the physical and emotional health of people.  If you don’t want overweight kids don’t allow them to sit for hours in front of the TV or computer.  Kids are supposed to play alone as well as with others.  A very important social and emotional development occurs when kids play and interact with each other.

Finally, kids need to be encouraged to be problem solvers and develop emotional maturity along with their physical growth.  Computerized interactions do not allow children to develop at a level that teaches them how to live in the real world.  Many studies have been done to show that although the IQ of many of these kids is increasing, the EQ or emotional development is falling further and further behind.  The result is smart kids that have no ability to interact with others, no ability to cope with problems and no ability to problem solve life issues.  What do we do with these people?  Give them ADD drugs, anti-depressants, bi-polar and anti-psychotic medications.  When you are not able to cope properly on your own the drugs can try to do it for you.

I am not a weak person!  Either are you!  Stand up and take control of your life.  As an adult you are the only person responsible for this.  If you have children then be the best role model you can for them.  Encourage them, support them, keep positive attitudes and affirmations but DON”T LIVE FOR THEM!  They need to figure life out on their own with your guidance!

I look forward to leading 1000’s of people to better health today and in the future.

Be well,

The Cure For Cancer Has Been Discovered!

May 12th, 2009

A report from Harvard Health Publications revealed the American Institute for Cancer Research (AIRC) found the cure for cancer.  It is not what you think Harvard would report.  It is not a drug, surgery, radiation or any other medical solution.  The report states the way to cure cancer is to not get it.

After 50+ years of intensive cancer research, the 5 year survival success rate of traditional medical treatment for cancer (Chemotherapy) is just 2%.  Trillions of dollars are raised and spent on studying cancer the disease and how to try to cure it.  Finally, “those in the know” have decided to spend some time teaching people what they need to know to avoid it all together.  What a concept, the same concept I have been teaching my patients the last 10 years I have been in practice.  I knew those really smart guys would catch up at some point.

In the reports they spoke of 8 very clear findings that showed where cancer comes from.  All 8 of these things tie directly into the 5 Essentials of Maximized Living.  If only all of my patients knew that for as long as they have been coming to our office, attending our advanced health talks and making better health decisions they have been fighting cancer! I decided if I had the cure for cancer, shouldn’t I share it with everyone?  The answer is if you’re a good person, yes!

So who have you told about the benefits of Maximized Living?  We have doctors all over the US and Canada.  There is no excuse for you not to let people know.  Well, maybe there is one excuse.  You might say I don’t know what to say to them and/or I need to have a better understanding of how this all works. Well I have a solution to your one and only excuse!

Saturday, May 16th @ 11:15am we are holding an advanced health talk on Cancer at our office.  Find out the answers you are looking for. 1 out of 3 people in the US die of cancer; shouldn’t you know how to avoid it?  Call our office @ 720-747-5333 to reserve a seat.  Seating is limited.

It is time to take action.  Every thing you do today is impacting your life into the future.  Learn how to take control of your life, health and overall well being right now.

Be Blessed,

Who Told You You Couldn’t?

May 4th, 2009

Can you imagine living a life where there were no boundaries?  Are you living to your God-Given potential?  Every day people make decisions that affect their ability to live up to their potential.  We know He did not design us to be weak suffering individuals.  You were designed to be a strong individual to fulfill a purpose in your life.  So many people are living day to day for the purpose of getting to the next day.

I want to talk to you today about why things are the way they are in your life.  It is up to you.  Lets cover the 4 things in our circular chart that will explain everything.

1.  Your potential: Your potential is so much greater than you know.  Who is the person that told you you can’t do that?  The legendary 4 minute mile story tells it all.  Until Roger Bannister broke the 4 minute mile barrier, everyone thought it was impossible and because of this thought, it didn’t happen.  They were told it couldn’t happen.  Well it happened in 1954.  Roger saw his potential after running shorter races in times that he knew would accomplish the task.

2.  Your Actions: the actions you take  every day are dependent on what you believe your potential is.  For years no one thought the 4 minute mile could be broken therefore their training was not good enough, which prevented anyone from  breaking it.  In your life, whether you were successful or not was dependent on the action steps you took towards that goal.  You could look back at your successes and failures and can always see why the outcomes were different by the actions taken.

3.  Your Results: the results you get are the direct effect of the actions you took.  Not being able to break the 4 minute barrier was a result of the training style and intensity that those athletes put into it.  In general, we are results orientated people.  These results lead us into our next category.

4. Your Beliefs: the results you got then cement the belief you had about your potential.  You ran hard and had a time of 4 minutes and 10 seconds for your mile which then re-affirmed the thought that it can’t be done.  Your potential has been limited, your action steps are not designed to accomplish things bigger than your thoughts, your results are the same which re-cement your beliefs.

Do you now see how self-limiting you are making your life?  You need to start by believing that God has given you the potential.  With that mindset, your actions change, results change and beliefs become strong.  When Roger broke the barrier, 46 days later someone broke his record.  With in a short period of time more than 40 people ran a sub-4 minute mile.  Your potential is so much bigger than you think.  I want you to be Roger, be the person setting the standard.

When it comes to your health, you are in complete control.  Today is the 1st day of the rest of your life.  It is time to make it great.  Maximized Living is providing this hope and leadership for more than 200,000 people a month.  No matter what your situation is currently, you have to see how powerful this change can be.  Whoever told you it can’t be done, you need to live this way, you will be on these medications the rest of your life has been holding you down.  Your potential is so much greater.  The day is today and the time is now to start living a Maximized Living Life.

Be Well,
