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

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,

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,
