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,

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,

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,

Why did they develop disease?

April 22nd, 2009

Father and daughter in a field of grain

Have you ever asked yourself why someone who lives a healthy lifestyle, is a good person and makes healthy choices suddenly dies of a heart attack? Why does one child who receives the huge dose of toxins found in our vaccines tolerate it ok while the another develops autism? If you haven’t asked yourself that then you should.

The first reaction I hear from people is that it is genetics. My answer to them is first our genes have not suddenly changed to make us a sick suffering population. Not to mention that most of us living in the US have gene lines from other countries that have far superior health and well being. For instance if you have ancestors from France, the healthiest country to live in, and you live in the US, the most unhealthy industrialized country to live in, why are you sick? Your genes come from France. The next example I will give you is a set of identical twins. Both born on the same day, genes are identical. At 19 months both receive vaccine doses, one is cranky for the day while the other spikes a fever and goes to the hospital. The second child is then diagnosed with Autism. Like the 1 out 150 kids today diagnosed with Autism there is something missing.

If you have followed any of my previous writings, you know I often talk about that amazing healing power in our brain. The same power that took you from two single cell organisms and made a 70 trillion cell organism that lives. So why does the first twin do well while the other develops autism? Follow me for second, most people admit or realize that we live in a time where many advancements have made our lives easier and more convenient. Like most things though, it comes with a cost. This cost is being paid by our bodies with our health. Foods are grown quicker, bigger, drought resistant,disease resistant and with chemicals. For the farmer this make life simpler, easier and more profitable not bad for him. The consumer eating the product that has been brought to market unfortunately is paying the price of these “advancements” with his or her health. The food we consume today is lacking in the wonderful nutrients that are supposed to be there and it is full of chemicals that are on the “presumed to be reasonably safe for human consumption list.” Now our bodies that are craving these wonderful nutrients to grow, develop and repair damage are having to work with inferior products while also trying to detoxify from the onslaught of toxins in the food. Very challenging indeed.

The next question then becomes: our body has the ability to detoxify itself so why doesn’t it do so? The first answer comes with purely the amount of toxins making it hard for the body to keep up. With the 70,000 chemicals we are exposed to and the over 3,000 chemicals approved to be in our food, the body is under a heavy load. The second reason is one that I am very passionate about, subluxation. We know our body contains the most powerful healing ability known to man and it’s located in the brain. The spinal cord and peripheral nerves have a job of relaying this vital information to all the cells, tissues and organs of our body. We know that if we cut the nerves going to your heart, your heart will stop and the organ and you will die. How many times out of 100 do you think this would happen? You are right, 100. That is an absolute! Knowing this to be true, do you think it would be good idea to compress the spinal cord or nerves as they exist the spine? Hopefully you are saying, NO. When we compress a nerve and interfere with the that healing power, the organ at the destination of that nerve becomes diseased and is unable function and heal normally. Do you think that organ will function well to detoxify itself under these conditions? You guessed it, how could it? So back to our original question, why did one twin get autism and the other not? Both were exposed to similar toxins and nutrients but what if one of them had a more traumatic birth that subluxated his neck? Maybe one fell off the bed or changing table that caused it. However it happened, the healing force within his body is being cut off. The bodies ability to detoxify itself is diminished, his digestion and absorption of nutrients could be compromised. We take this individual that appears to be doing well and expose it to 5 different vaccine doses in one visit and the body that is struggling and fighting to regain and maintain health is overwhelmed. Neurological damage ensues and the child develops autism. Was it the vaccine that was the sole cause of the autism? NO! Did is play a crucial role in the development of the disease? YES!

The good news is whether it is the nerve going to your heart that will lead to heart disease or the child with autism, there is help. Could you eat right and exercise just like Jim Fixx, the man credited with starting the jogging revolution in the 70’s, did yet die prematurely of heart disease? Yes! How bad do you think he would have wanted to know what I am sharing with you today?

Can you imagine living in a world with less drug usage, less pain, less disease, more energy, vitality and health late in your years? It is here, you just need to act on it!

Be well,

Are you in control of your health?

April 13th, 2009

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

What Principal Do You Live By?

April 2nd, 2009

One of the greatest feelings I have is when someone I am talking to has that “AH-HA” moment.  I was talking to a new patient last night when I saw a change in her physiology.  She had been told to come to our office for her daughter that was suffering from chronic earaches.  When I explained how and why chiropractic could help her daughter, she seemed interested.  I then went on to teach her about the principals of health and healing and that is when it happened.  Her eyes lit up as I continued to explain her body was a strong self-healing organism.  I ask patients all the time, “Was your body Created to be a weak suffering body or was it Created to be a thriving healthy body?”

In the commonly accepted current health care model, we are repeatedly told that our bodies are weak.  They tell you your body needs things from the outside such as drugs or surgery.  Now I would never say there is never a time when a drug or surgery is not necessary.  I recently had the unfortunate need to send a patient to a surgeon to have a fusion done in his cervical spine.  There is a concept: limitations of matter.  This states that matter can only withstand so much force before it breaks down.  Falling off the empire state building no matter how much you believe in any principal is going to lead to your demise.  However, stating that, not often does something so tragic ever happen.  Most of the time it is the accumulation of small traumas and problems that are neglected that lead to limitations of matter.

In the example of my patient that had surgery, he had a history of chronic neck problems that would come and go.  Five years before he came to see me he had an extreme pain episode, went to the doctor who gave him medications and referred him to physical therapy.  They taught him some stretches and exercises and over time with the meds and exercises the symptoms went away.  Guess what didn’t go away.  The problem!  His spine continued to degenerate over the next few years to a point of no return.  I worked with him for a few months with modest improvement but no real reduction in the radiating pain.  I referred him to an MD that ordered an MRI and it was discovered that not only did he have disc issues by the bone spurring that was happening, it was physically compressing the spinal cord.  Once I heard this I told him surgery was necessary because I know the danger of compressing the spinal cord.  If we could make changes over time, the amount of permanent damage done would lead to a early death for him.

What we have here is someone that was living by the wrong principal of health.  Not because he was being defiant or slighting anyone, he just didn’t know anything different.  He was living by our modern medical model’s rules and traditions that teach us to live our lives as we want and when things suddenly change for the worse there is a magic pill, potion, lotion or surgery that will fix things.  As I continue to hope and pray for a complete recovery from the surgery, I can only think I wish I would have met him 5 years ago.  We could have avoided this whole thing and he could be enjoying life and being the healthiest he had been in years.

The principal my family and I live by is simple.  Let’s take responsibility for our health.  Every decision I make today impacts my health tomorrow and into the future.  The foundation of our principal starts with my passion to make sure that the innate healing power in our body never has interference.  By regularly adjusting my family I am ensuring that the healing power that created them, from one sperm and one egg, into the persons they are today is living strong and well in them.  People today need to understand that they are where they are today because of the decisions they have made in the past.  Starting right now, you can decide to change your future.  We are holding our Maximized Living Makeover on April 11th.  During this 3 hour class we are going to teach you the principal of chiropractic and the 5 Essentials everyone needs to regain and maintain a long, healthy drug free life.

Whereever your health is today, what is it going to be like 5 years from now, 10 years, 25 years etc.  If you don’t like that picture you need to do something about it.  I GUARANTEE you this, if you come to our makeover and do the things we ask you to do over the next 12 months, your health will be better.  You will be able to see that picture differently of what you want to be when you’re 70.  Do you want to travel and hike, go for walks on the beach, play with your grand kids, golf or explore your creativity?  Whatever your passion and vision looks like it can be yours.  The decision is yours.

Who do you know that needs to hear this principal?  I am willing to bet if you didn’t say everyone you didn’t read this blog and you need to re-read it.  If you want to come to our Makeover and start this new chapter in your life and completely change how the story ends, call our office.  720-747-5333.  As a special for subscribing to our blog, if you bring 5 people with you to our event your admission is free and includes a book and the five people you brought come for free as well. (They can buy a book at the event if they want a resource guide)

We can change the face of health care in this country even if we have to do it one patient at a time.

Be Blessed,

Dr. Tim
