The Devil In The Dark

The Devil In The Dark•September 18, 2009 • Leave a Comment (Edit)
We get up, drive through god-forsaken traffic, work our mundane jobs, pay our bills, watch a little TV and go to bed. The next day we do basically the same thing….and the next….and the next. Now with the internet taking up our free time, we as a society have become what I call “cogs”. Part of a machine. The cumbersome machine that drives our faltering economy.
I love the movie “The Matrix” because in some ways its a parody of our own apathetic society. When Morpheous gives Neo the red pill, everything changes and Neo is able to “see” how things really are. There are very few out there like Neo. Those that think “out of the box” are not always accepted. Lincoln, Kennedy, Lennon, etc. Ask yourself a question. Are you a thinker that wants to make a change to society? Or are you a cog?
There is a devil in the darkness of our society. He is very rich and powerful and is involved in each of our lives. In many cases, he will decide if you live or die or how much time you have left. He is so powerful, that he was able to shut down the workers comp system in California and leave thousands of injured workers without the benefit of proper healthcare. He has so much influence that our current president will most likely fail with healthcare reform as so many other presidents before him. I’m talking about a true master of disguise. A wolf in sheeps clothing if you will. ”He” is the health insurance companies.
The word insurance seems so benign. However, the health insurance companies in America are some of the strongest lobbiests in the nation.
America. We can make a difference. We don’t have to be in the dark anymore when it comes to healthcare reform. We are all afraid the the death squads and the limitations put on us by the goverment. All of these are real concerns. However, stop and think. If you ever lost your benefits and then became ill, who would take care of you? Most of us are one major illness away from bankruptcy.
President Obama is on the right track. He may not have all the answers, but I believe he is trying to do something good for our nation. Imagine a society, where we had access to the finest physicians in the world. Imagine how much better our quality of life would be. I’m not asking you to join in on Mr. Obama’s mission. All I’m saying is to step out of the matrix and objectively take a close look at healthcare reform. Don’t sit on the sidelines. Contact your congressman. Your voice makes a difference.
The devil in the dark is real and will not go away easily. We must join together and come up with a solution so that our children and grandchildren will benefit from the solid reform we started now.

Hogar Para Los Ninos

One of the most memorable moments of my life occured when I volunteered my services as a chiropractor in Mexico. If you ever have felt the need to give back to others less fortunate than you, I highly recommend volunteering your time at the orphanage in Colonio Guerrero. You will never be the same.

I recall one particular trip where I went with a group of chiropractors. We flew there in single engine planes and landed on a dirt air strip. When we arrived at the orphanage, we were given their best housing and we were treated as honored guests. The work was hard, but very rewarding. We would go out to the work camps where the living conditions were unthinkable. Cardboard homes with dirt floors, kids playing with rusty toys, and no electricity or running water.

Along with providing much needed food and blankets, we would work twelve hour days adjusting hundreds and hundreds of migrant workers. We would have to have our English translated to Spanish and from Spanish to Triki, which is a dialect of the Xoacan indians.
The most rewarding part of the trip was the outreach ministry. Where ever the chiropractors would set up their portable adjusting tables, the evangelists would preach the word of God. We saw many people give their lives to God. Interestingly enough, some of the indians already had Book of Mormon bibles with them. The Morman’s had been to the camps a week before we arrived.

I haven’t been back to Baja now for a few years. But I plan to go back soon. What I brought back from all those trips were life changing experiences I will always remember. As we have in the past, again this year for Thanksgiving our office plans to do a fundraiser for the children of the orphanage. For whatever donation people contribute (clothes, canned food, etc.) they will receive their adjustment at no charge on that day!

If you would like to know more about the need in Mexico or the Foundation For His Ministry and how you can help by donating your time or sending a gift, visit the following link: http://video.yahoo.com/watch/4459780%E2%8C%A9=en-us/11951190

If You Could Save Someone's Life Without Risking Your Own, Would You Do It?

That's why Jerry Rice made this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_CAsGNlQEnI If you haven't been checked by a chiropractor, give yourself an earlier christmas present. The gift of health! You don't have to be a professional athlete to get adjusted.

Imagine having the edge on your competition. From competitive athletics to getting the edge in the business world. Eliminating nerve interference from your body can help you perform at your optimum best!

If you want to feel and look old faster, live with poor posture and not have that competitive edge in your life, my advice would be not to see a chiropractor.

Is Chiropractic Care Really Safe And Does It Work?

Is Chiropractic Care Safe and Effective?

Many people don’t understand chiropractic care. Half the public think we are witch doctors and the other half just don’t like us. Much of the biased against chiropractic comes from lack of knowledge. If there was a way to significantly improve your performance and quality of life, wouldn't you want to know about it? I hope the following article from the ACA helps answer a few questions you might have:

Numerous studies have shown that chiropractic treatment is both safe and effective. The following are excerpts from a few of the more recent studies. By examining the research supporting chiropractic care, you will find that chiropractic offers tremendous potential in meeting today’s health care challenges.

For Acute and Chronic Pain
“Patients with chronic low-back pain treated by chiropractors showed greater improvement and satisfaction at one month than patients treated by family physicians. Satisfaction scores were higher for chiropractic patients. A higher proportion of chiropractic patients (56 percent vs. 13 percent) reported that their low-back pain was better or much better, whereas nearly one-third of medical patients reported their low-back pain was worse or much worse.”

– Nyiendo et al (2000), Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics
In a Randomized controlled trial, 183 patients with neck pain were randomly allocated to manual therapy (spinal mobilization), physiotherapy (mainly exercise) or general practitioner care (counseling, education and drugs) in a 52-week study. The clinical outcomes measures showed that manual therapy resulted in faster recovery than physiotherapy and general practitioner care. Moreover, total costs of the manual therapy-treated patients were about one-third of the costs of physiotherapy or general practitioner care.
– Korthals-de Bos et al (2003), British Medical Journal

In Comparison to Other Treatment Alternatives
“Acute and chronic chiropractic patients experienced better outcomes in pain, functional disability, and patient satisfaction; clinically important differences in pain and disability improvement were found for chronic patients.”
– Haas et al (2005), Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics
“In our randomized, controlled trial, we compared the effectiveness of manual therapy, physical therapy, and continued care by a general practitioner in patients with nonspecific neck pain. The success rate at seven weeks was twice as high for the manual therapy group (68.3 percent) as for the continued care group (general practitioner). Manual therapy scored better than physical therapy on all outcome measures. Patients receiving manual therapy had fewer absences from work than patients receiving physical therapy or continued care, and manual therapy and physical therapy each resulted in statistically significant less analgesic use than continued care.”
– Hoving et al (2002), Annals of Internal Medicine

For Headaches
“Cervical spine manipulation was associated with significant improvement in headache outcomes in trials involving patients with neck pain and/or neck dysfunction and headache.”
– Duke Evidence Report, McCrory, Penzlen, Hasselblad, Gray (2001)
“The results of this study show that spinal manipulative therapy is an effective treatment for tension headaches… Four weeks after cessation of treatment … the patients who received spinal manipulative therapy experienced a sustained therapeutic benefit in all major outcomes in contrast to the patients that received amitriptyline therapy, who reverted to baseline values.”
– Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics, Boline et al. (1995)
Cost Effectiveness“Chiropractic care appeared relatively cost-effective for the treatment of chronic low-back pain. Chiropractic and medical care performed comparably for acute patients. Practice-based clinical outcomes were consistent with systematic reviews of spinal manipulative efficacy: manipulation-based therapy is at least as good as and, in some cases, better than other therapeusis.”
– Haas et al (2005), Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics

Patient Satisfaction
“Chiropractic patients were found to be more satisfied with their back care providers after four weeks of treatment than were medical patients. Results from observational studies suggested that back pain patients are more satisfied with chiropractic care than with medical care. Additionally, studies conclude that patients are more satisfied with chiropractic care than they were with physical therapy after six weeks.”
– Hertzman-Miller et al (2002), American Journal of Public Health
Popularity of Chiropractic“Chiropractic is the largest, most regulated, and best recognized of the complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) professions. CAM patient surveys show that chiropractors are used more often than any other alternative provider group and patient satisfaction with chiropractic care is very high. There is steadily increasing patient use of chiropractic in the United States, which has tripled in the past two decades.”
– Meeker, Haldeman (2002), Annals of Internal Medicine
