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!

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

Are You Investing In Your Health?

April 6th, 2009

I had a great conversation with a patient on Saturday. He started off by asking how much all this stock market stuff is affecting me. I told him I refuse to let the economy dictate my life. There are many people thriving right now because they chose to do the things other people were not willing to do. I then asked him what he valued the most and what he was investing in currently.

His answer surprised me. He said I am investing in my health right now! I thought, “here is a patient that attends our office events and really has a passion to improve his health.” He readily admits that had he not almost lost everything because of a health problem, he probably wouldn’t be so dedicated. My question to everyone is why do we have to lose or almost lose everything before we get our wake up call. We get comfortable, complacent and take for granted many of the things our good health provides us.

Most people realize that everything we want to be productive in our life takes time and effort to develop. If you want to be promoted at work, have a good running car, create long term financial success or just get good at anything you desire it takes time and energy to make it happen. So why is it that we suddenly feel we do not need to make that same effort to regain or maintain health? In a recent poll, when asked if they liked what the future held for them in terms of health, greater than 80% of people over 40 gave negative answers. The sad part about this is that many felt they were dealt a bad hand in a game of stud poker. Blame it on genetics or your job but few blame it on the decisions they make every day and have made in the past.

Your health is by far the best investment you can ever make to your future. A wise person once said that when we are young, we spend our health to gain wealth and as we get older we spend our wealth to regain health. At the end you are broke and dead. Every day I am healthy is worth way more than any investment I can make in the future. Some of the wealthiest people have died a horrible premature death, not due to the lack of money, but the lack of vision and investment into their health. I see a change in your future.

So how can you change? There is an old saying that “you are what you eat.” So I ask you, when your body is repairing cell damage today or normal cell replication is going on, would you want to build that cell with nutrients from your favorite fast food restaurant or from healthy unprocessed whole foods? People see every day that our children are now being affected by our poor health decisions. We have more chronic disease situations in our kids today then even the most cynical people could imagine. Diseases we never saw in kids are becoming epidemics. It all points back to one thing. We are not taking responsibility for our health, or even sadder, our children’s health. What chance do they have to be healthy when they are not being led properly by their parents?

I said earlier that I saw a change coming for you. I am challenging everyone that gets our blog to attend our Maximized Living Makeover this Saturday. The challenge is simple, I am looking for all my patients to stand up and lead their families and friends. Everyone needs a coach to be successful. Most of the truly successful people in this world always give thanks to a coach that helped keep them on track. As a health coach and leader to my patients, nothing keeps me on track better than knowing people are looking to me to help them and I need to lead by example. Do you see how this is a win-win relationship?

Call our office! Schedule for the Makeover! I don’t care if you were at one last weekend! You need to hear it again! If you are not doing things the way you know you should be, then you better be there! We are making it real easy to come. Bring 5 people with you and everyone comes for FREE and you get your book FREE. Others can buy a book at the event if they choose.

Its on Saturday April 11th from 1:30-4:30. Call the office @ 720-747-5333 for details.

See you soon,

Dr. Tim
