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!

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 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.

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

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,

More than once a week, I have a conversation with patients or people I meet about health and genetics. People tell me they are destined for some terrible disease due to the fact that they have a family history of it. I had a patient that was convinced that she would die of breast cancer because her mom, aunt and grandmother all had it. She has been getting mammograms since she was 20 to try to “prevent” her from getting cancer or at least detect it early. I give some credit to early detection of disease but put dramatically more emphasis on preventing it.

Our medical model teaches us that genetics are something you can do nothing about. You go ahead and live the way you live and come to us when the disease starts. At that point we will be able to get you on one of our magic medications to help stabilize your condition. Hopefully as you are reading this you are starting to think that doesn’t make any sense. Why would I wait to have a disease develop to start making changes? The medical model teaches us that we are weak struggling individuals. We “need” all the tools of medicine in order to help our weak depleted bodies get “healthy.”

I have a hard time believing we are that weak. God has put the most amazing healing power right inside your own body. It is the same power that turned one sperm and one egg into 70 trillion cells that made you. If it could turn two cells into you, what makes you think it is not powerful enough to heal and maintain your body? The body doesn’t need drugs as they just cover symptoms as the disease progresses without your knowledge, it just needs Maximized Living.

In our office we teach the 5 Essentials needed to regain and maintain health into the future. I have written many blogs on the power of the chiropractic adjustment and that without a clear nervous system everything else you do for health is diminished so I am focusing the rest of the blog on the lifestyle issues that are so important.

Dr. Dean Ornish completed a trial on men with early stage prostate cancer. He randomized 93 participants into a lifestyle change group and a control group. The lifestyle group made some radical changes to their diet, they exercised 30 minutes a day 6 day a week, and they spent time doing yoga, meditation or other form of relaxation technique. By making these changes, everyone in the group saw positive changes in their cancers. They were able to map over 500 different changes in genes. The new lifestyle turned “bad genes” off while turning “good genes” on. Here you thought because you have a family history there is no good reason to take responsibility for your health and do the right thing. Sorry to burst your bubble. The decisions you make today and everyday forward are going to have a direct impact on your body’s ability to heal and function optimally.

Dr. Ornish in the early ’90s produced a study that found these same lifestyle changes not only stopped by reversed heart disease. As you can imagine he has been met with much criticism as the 400,000 bypass surgeries that cost in excess of $100 BILLION and the $15 BILLION spent on Lipitor alone would have a severe impact of the pocket books of many doctors, drug companies and hospitals.

Can you imagine that we have two studies that have shown that living the Maximized Living Lifestyle could not only stop but REVERSE the two diseases that kill the most people in our country every year and no one in the medical model is teaching it. How is this not a crime?

We just had our Maximized Living Makeover this past weekend and had the pleasure of teaching people exactly what they need to do to regain their health and maintain it for the rest of their life. It really can be that simple. If you missed the Makeover, you can still get involved. We will be starting our 6-week challenge on Thursday night with our kickoff class on how to implement the changes. Get involved now. As your health and wellness coach I tell you get started no matter where you are at and let us help you to succeed. Don’t tell me you don’t know enough or the time isn’t right, you need to do it now. I promise to be there to help you and pick you up when you fall but if you don’t try it will never change and there is no chance you will ever fall.

Call us @ 720-747-5333 to get involved in our challenge. It will change your life for ever!

Yours in health

Yesterday I received an e-mail from a colleague that reported Baxter Pharmaceuticals “accidentally” mixed live Bird Flu Virus in their regular flu vaccine.  Now the company reports that due to the proprietary secrets of manufacturing, it doesn’t need to disclose how this contamination occurred.  I have a hunch as to how this might have occurred, please hear me out on this.

A couple of years ago we heard all kinds of things in the news about the potential bird flu pandemic.  This flu was said to have the potential to completely devastate our world.  Records of human infection with the bird flu have been kept by the World Health Organization (WHO) since 2003.  Again, because of the intense media coverage, one would be led to believe these numbers must be huge.  Well, of the 6.7 Billion people in the world as of July 2008 there were a total of 412 cases recorded from 2003-March 2009.  That’s  world-wide mind you.  This is .00000006149% of the population over a 6+ year period or .00000000983% of the people per year.  Wow! No wonder there was such a scramble by the drug companies to get a bird flu vaccine to market! Could you imagine the global devastation of infecting 66 people a year? They also neglected to point out that 99% of the people infected by this virus were in direct contact with the infected animals.  According to the CDC it is extremely rare for humans to contract the disease, as we have shown above, but it is almost unheard of for the disease to pass from person to person.  So you might start saying to yourself, ‘What was all the hype about?’

Drug companies for years have thrived on a concept known as disease mongering;  a concept using fear and other avenues to widen the scope of disease often turning normal things into diseases.  For example, shyness may be thought to be a normal personality trait for a specific individual and quite frankly probably welcomed by school teachers.  It would seem wrong to give a child a controlled substance for shyness, however, if you called it “social anxiety disorder” you could scare a parent into believing that there is something terribly wrong with your child and justify a potent brain-chemistry altering drug.  These same techniques were used in the Bird Flu incident and much to the dismay of the drug companies who spent millions  developing a vaccine for it, the fear has died.  Now these companies have a product with big investment and no big customers to buy it.

Now comes the whole purpose of writing this post.  A couple of weeks ago it was reported that Baxter Pharmaceutical sent some common flu vaccine out to 18 countries.  One of them was the Czech Republic who tested the shot on ferrets.  All the ferrets died as a result of the inoculation.  Researchers confirmed that there was an unidentified viral strain in the shot.  It turns out is was the BIRD FLU virus and it was ALIVE! Can you imagine a company creating their own need by purposely infecting people with the disease that they happen to have a new blockbuster vaccine for?  I wonder if you are as sick to your stomach as I am about this.  Of course the very minimal information that has been released by the company states that there must have been some cross contamination, which could just be something that happens due to their “process”.  They also don’t feel compelled to address this issue and state that their process is a proprietary secret and therefore they will not disclose anything more about it.

Realize from a pure business stand point, this was probably looked at as great plan to make sure they would be able to sell some of the poison they have been producing.  Is should also be noted that in the 412 cases in the last 7 years 256 of those people died from it.  That is 62% mortality rate.  Can you imagine purposely infecting millions of people with a virus which can create that amount of devastation, all so you can recover some of the money you spent on research and development?  I have a better idea!  Don’t make a vaccine for a problem that is not real and if you do and it doesn’t work out, chalk it up to a bad business decision. Take your losses and move on.

If you paste this link you can read the actual article or google Baxter flu vaccine.

WE ALL NEED TO PASS THIS ON TO EVERYONE WE KNOW TO EXPOSE THE DISGUSTING DECEIT PRACTICED BY THE BELOVED DRUG COMPANIES.  IF WE WANT TO CHANGE A FAILING HEALTH CARE SYSTEM IN THE U.S. IT HAS TO START WITH US.
