There are 2 reasons people get sick


11.  They are deficient in a requirement to express health. This could be a vitamin or mineral. It could be water or oxygen. It could be movement of the body.

22.     They have something toxic in their system. This could be withheld anger. It could be artificial colors from foods. It could be drugs, alcohol, caffeine, or nicotine.

These are chronic stressors. So how do we get and stay well? Imagine this analogy.
We are born into a swimming pool with a backpack and a flotation device. The flotation device has a small leak in it that will last about 120 years. This is the average life expectancy. What stress represents in your life is a rock in the backpack. Every time you put a rock in that backpack, you sink a little lower in the water. Day to day life becomes more of a struggle and it is harder to keep your head above water.

Do you think that the answer to that backpack full of rocks is to take a blood pressure medicine to keep your blood pressure down? What drug can fix a problem caused by not enough nutrients in the diet, or caused by chronic subluxation or caused by sedentary living?
*Spending on prescription drugs in the United States has risen nearly 600% since 1990
*Adverse drug reactions reported by the Food and Drug Administration tripled between 1995 and 2005, and research finds these reactions are the fourth leading cause of death in the United States.

Chronic Illness is a lifestyle issue. It is a rock-in-the-backpack issue. And until we learn how to take the rocks out of the backpack, there is no chance to regain health.
Your body is a self-healing, self-regulating system. Subluxations are rocks in the backpack. Chiropractic adjustments remove those rocks from the backpack and allow the body to self-heal and self-regulate as nature intended.
Questions for your life: Are you trying to change your physiology from the outside-in OR are you releasing the innate intelligence of the body to regulate what it needs to?

The Idea of Winning

Sunday Evening was the big football game of the year, most of us sat in front of the television with our friends and family cheering on our favorite team. The super bowl is more than just a fun game of football. Taking a look deeper into the team, it takes a lot more than strength, good tactics and cheering fans to win a game. Each player must have the idea of teamwork, discipline and most importantly, the idea of winning. From the thoughts in his brain to his toes, each part of his body, mind & soul must work together to win. One who strives everyday to win & complete his tasks the right way will win. Winning is a habit, and so is losing. Strive for more than what you think you are capable of everyday, anything is possible with the correct mindset. “Far better is it to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered with failure, than to take rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much, nor suffer much because they live in the gray twilight that k

WHAT WE GET WHEN WE GIVE

By Christine Carter, PHD Did you know that kinder people actually live longer, healthier lives? People who volunteer tend to experience fewer aches and pains. Giving help to others protects overall health. People 55 and older who volunteer for two or more organizations have an impressive 44% lower likelihood of dying-and that's after sifting out every other contributing factor, and many more. This means that volunteering is nearly as beneficial to our health as quitting smoking! It isnt just that kind of people also tend to be healthier and happier, or that happy , healthy people are more kind. Experiments have actually demonstrated again and again that kindness toward others actually causes us to be happier, improves our health, and lengthens our lives. We feel so good when we give because we get what researchers call a "helpers high," or a distinct physical sensation associated with helping. About half of participants in one study report that they feel str
