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

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

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
