Where is your health at?

July 15th, 2009

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.

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 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
