The FEELING of CHRISTMAS

Why do we get in service mode during Christmas and immediately switch into a me first mentality for the start of the new year.  Christmas puts us in this state where we willingly spend money, time and effort in helping and serving others.  It may be for selfish reasons that we choose to give so willingly.  There really is no better feeling than lifting someone up that is less fortunate or may be going through a tough time over the holidays.  The inner pleasure that we get when we give is a good thing.  I believe God puts that feeling in us to help the real servants of the world to continue to give and serve even when no one is watching.
Don't fall into the trap of being me centered following the Holidays.  Focus on serving from your own abundance and God will take care of the rest.  My innate wishes your innate peace, love, and joy over the Holidays but most importantly throughout 2011.

Innate and ChiropracTIC for ChiropacTORS

Innate Transpires all differences, all beliefs, religions, biases, cultures and colors. 

It is the Universal language, that binds us all together.

BJ said that innate is God.  Innate is good.  It is all that is right and it is alright.  It refuses to pale to all that is wrong and destructive because it is 100% all right, always, for all the days of our existence.

Innate is our connection to the 4^th dimension beyond educational understanding, interpretation, manipulation.  Stop thinking and start doing what innate is telling you.  What would we accomplish if we stopped spending 70% of the time thinking and 30% of the time doing.  When we are in complete service mode, innate takes over as though you have no chance to mess it up.  Innate takes over and you are taken out of your body.  You are no longer of the world.  You are operating through a power stronger than what we can humanly possess.  Innate allows for the spirit to display itself through matter.  It is God’s way of maintaining our world in existence as Innate provides all that is needed to keep educated from destroying everything. Innate is telling you exactly what to do.  Do not let your education start rationalizing.  That is when darkness, sickness and evil powers prevail.  When we say we are too tired, too successful, too comfortable, too professional.  Educated has put our ego number one and serving number two which is the formula for destruction. That is when people don’t know the truth, they suffer needlessly and they take away from the world.  They are disconnected from what is right and they loose faith.  They rely on pharmacia, and other man made outside in man-ipulation. 

If you want a bigger practice, then my question is WHY do you want it?  How bad do you want it? And as Dr. Santo says, for whose purpose are you practicing?  When the size of our service meets the size of our dream, it is only a matter of time. 

If you are on this call than you and your innate know WHAT TO DO.  You don’t have to wonder how to get out and serve the people.  There is no SECRET to building a big practice.  There are only 3 things needed: 1. Burning passion for the principle, 2. Work Ethic. 3. Love of People.  When we spend the 70% doing and 30% of the time thinking we change lives and transform our community.  While they are pushing pills We have to PUSH THE PRINCIPLE. When we push the principle without the egotistical intervention (and that is work in itself), we perpetuate good in the world.  We infuse the hopeless with hope.  We bring life to the lifeless.  Chiropractic releases the bottled up potential in man, woman and child.  Chiropractic enables peace, calm and joy and restores what is normal, natural and right in life.

Innate is the epitome of truth.  Innate is truth in its purest form. As DD and BJ discovered and developed it, chiropractic is always right as long as its ChriopracTIC. You never have to wonder is it right, what if this or that. You operate in truth and so your words and actions are perfect. Your practice is the only 100% innate driven healing profession known to man.  Every other healing art in the world perverts, interferes with, or mixes in the outside with the inside.  Chiropractic is the only science, philosophy and art that does not add, take away, but only stirs the perfect power from within maximizing life expression. 

With our minute understanding of the grandeur of innate we are always protected, always provided for and living a purpose filled life of serving, loving and giving through principled chiropractic.

Christmas has us all thinking about giving and receiving.  I believe God gift to us is the Chiropractic Principle.  To live and share the principle is a gift.  It is a gift richer than all the riches of the world.  The principle provides the way of life.  It provides health, provides purpose, provides wealth and growth.  The principle is balance, harmony, happiness, but most of all LOVE.  Love of self, love of others.  The principle provides love of God.  Innate is good.  Innate is God.  Innate is always right and right in all ways.

The brightness of our beacon is determined by our courage.  The greatest warriors aren’t the biggest, strongest or fastest although is helps.  The greatest warriors have the greatest courage.   They are willing to put it all on the line for the chance to be legendary.  The size of your risk will determine the size of your reward.  When was the last time you took a real risk?

When was the last time you really put yourself out there in a way that would make or break you financially, with your reputation, with your current state of comfort?  When your faith in innate overcomes your fear of failure in a meaningful way.  A way that challenged or puts into question your current state.

In the book the Alchemist, the Shepard boy learns in his journey across the Egyptian desert in search of his treasure, he says “When a person REALLY desires something, all the universe conspires to help that person to realize his dreams.  You already know all you need to know, I am only going to point you in the direction of your treasure.  Each of us has a personal legend, a passionate pursuit of our treasure.”

I believe our treasure is the principle.  For one reason or another, we are called to spread the principle across our land.  We are called to lay our hands on, to connect innate to innate and to release innate expression of life force through matter.  We release all that is good in life.  We release what is right in all ways and we are always right.  We release life with love and we love life.

So how bad do you want it and why do you want it? When you REALLY desire something for global benefit, all the universe conspires to help you realize your dream. 

My prayer to you is that you will awake each day with the courage to trust your innate and the drive to obey its brilliance and at the end of the day, the satisfaction and fulfillment that you served the innate principle with all God gave you that day.

I love and appreciate you, wish you a Merry Christmas and a blessed new year. 

Why do people go to Doctors?

Most people go to the doctor because they think they have something they shouldn’t have and want to get rid of. As a chiropractor I understand that the problem when you aren’t feeling well is NOT that you have something; the problem is really that you LOST something you need to be healthy and happy. You see HEALTH (also called “EASE”) is your natural state! If you are experiencing anything other than ease, it is usually because you have simply LOST something that is necessary to maintain ease/health. If you have LOST proper upper cervical alignment, you have LOST normal brain to body communication causing dis-ease.

Understanding this very simple truth will not only help you get the most out of your chiropractic care, it will also help you and your family to keep growing stronger and healthier for the rest of you lives!

Medical Philosophy vs. Chiropractic Philosophy

Medical Philosophy vs. Chiropractic Philosophy

Chiropractic and medicine disagree on what constitutes health, disease, the meaning of symptoms, and the goal of care. These are philosophical differences that go back over 2,500 years.
Our philosphical roots go way back, as does medicine. In fact two conflicting philosophies of healing - simliar to that of chiropractic and medicine - can be found from the earliest writings of Hippocrates (5th century B.C.) to the present day. The camps were referred to as the Empiricists or Vitalists and the Rationalists or Mechanists. Medical doctors or allopaths are Rationalists, while chiropractors, classical homeopaths, acupuncturists, traditional osteopaths and others are Vitalists.
Let’s look at how vitalists and mechanists view things: Mechanists assume the body operates like a machine whose whole is equal to the sum of its parts. "Study the body," they say, "study its cells, and its chemistry using disciples such as physics, mechanics and mathematics and the workings of the whole will be revealed."
Vitalists disagree: "Living creatures are fundamentally different from non-living creatures", they say. "The laws of physics, chemistry, mechanics, and mathematics cannot give us a complete knowledge or understanding of biological systems because the whole body is greater than the sum of its parts." Vitalists learn how the body works by studying the living body, not isolated chemicals in a test tube or by making up theories.
This philosophical difference is profound, it colors everything –
Mechanists say: "The body operates like a machine; symptoms are always bad and must be destroyed. Fevers must be lowered, inflammations must be cooled, itching or eruptions must be suppressed, pain must be eliminated - symptoms are bad in and of themselves and must be destroyed."
Vitalists say: "The body is intelligent and reacts to the environment. Symptoms are its response to environmental stress, a sign that the body is fighting to return to its homeostatic balance. Symptoms must be permitted to express themselves so the body may cleanse and heal and return to normal balance."
Mechanists: "The most important thing is to diagnose the disease the patient has and then fight it. The patient’s resistance to disease is not very important."
Vitalists: "More important than diagnosing and treating disease, the individual’s innate power of resistance needs to be strengthened so it may heal."
Mechanists: Everyone who has a certain diseases has the same disease as anyone who has that disease."
Vitalists: people are chemically, emotionally, and structurally unique. When caring for a sick person, we should try to learn why that one person is sick in his or her own unique way, and we should not generalize to other people. 100 people with cancer are, if you look closely enough are really expressing 100 unique conditions that have some things in common but many things unique to their situation. The more their care is tailored to their unique needs, the more successful the results.
Mechanists: "We will ultimately know exactly how the body works, what makes it sick and how to make it healthy.
Vitalists: "The body is essentially unknowable. It has billions of parts, each doing its own thing at a fantastic rate. The body is constantly reacting to its environment and changing moment by moment. How can anyone know what is happening at any one time to all those parts? And doesn’t the very act of observing alter our results?
Rationalists or Mechanists think believe they can know the body and figure out what it needs in advance. Their procedures are often invented. Empiricists sit in awe of the body’s functions and state that the only way we can find out how healing works is see how living bodies react. Their procedures are discovered.

“Can Chiropractic cure appendicitis or the flu?”

The Truth

We chiropractors work with the subtle substance of the soul.  We release the imprisoned impulse, the tiny rivulet of force, that emanates from the mind and flows over the nerves to the cells, and stirs them into life.  We deal with the magic power that transforms common food into living, loving, thinking clay; that robes the earth with beauty, and hues and scents the flowers with the glory of the air.

In the dim, dark, distant long ago, when the sun first bowed to the morning star, this power spoke and there was life; it quickened the slime of the sea and the dust of the earth and drove the cell to union with its fellows in countless living forms.  Through eons of time it finned the fish and winged the bird and fanged the beast.  Endlessly it worked, evolving its form until it produced the crowning glory of them all.  With tireless energy it blows the bubble of each individual life and then silently, relentlessly dissolves the form, and absorbs the spirit into itself again.

And yet you ask, “Can Chiropractic cure appendicitis or the flu?”  Have you more faith in a knife or a spoonful of medicine than in the power that animates the living world?

By B. J. Palmer, D.C., Ph. C

What is chiropractic?

Every month, I am blessed to get together with 100 principled chiropractors from all over south florida to communicate and study the philosophy of chiropractic.  Our guest speaker, Dr. Dean Sottile, stated that the understanding of the innate philosphy of chiropractic is never ending.  I couldn't agree more.  The vast depth of chiropractic philosophy is what keeps it exciting.  To adjust an atlas and restore health is a wonderful thing.  To understand the full ramifications of that patient's life being changed forever because that woman can now comprehend clearly or that man can be less abrassive to his wife is the true essence of chiropractic.  The truth of chiropractic principles have survived for the last 120 years.  The principles of above-down, inside-out healing will last until the end of time because the truth never dies.  My job as a chiropractor is not to maintain chiropractic in existence, but to spread the message to as many people that are willing to listen.  My calling is to ensure chiropractic thrives and becomes the FIRST choice for people rather than the last.  Chiropractic is never inferior and mostly superior to its alternatives.  Chiropractic never serves to cure people but only to maximize life expression, coordination, and harmonious function of all parts at all times.  To release the great healer from within which knows all, controls all and maintains life itself. 

Can a Backpack Cause a Back Problem In Your Child?

Back to school time means it’s time to shop for the newest, coolest, trendiest backpack, but which backpack is the best for your child’s health?  It may come as a surprise to some parents, but backpack safety should be taken seriously.  Scientific research reveals an alarming danger associated with improper childhood backpack use. This research indicates 60 percent of youth experience at least one low-back pain episode caused by improper use of backpacks. Back pain leads to more than 19 million doctor visits per year, according to the U.S. Department of Human Health and Services. Backpack Safety America sites that 90 percent of chiropractors see patients (ages 5-18) reporting back, neck or shoulder pain caused by heavy backpacks.

How exactly does carrying a backpack affect the spine? The average child’s backpack weighs 12 pounds.  Common sense tells us that a load, distributed unevenly, will cause problems over time. Stress to a child’s spine causes mechanical and structural problems, which may lead to a condition called vertebral subluxation. Subluxations are areas of the spine that shift out of alignment and cause pressure on nerves. Subluxations cause problems like neck and back pain, but also more serious problems like scoliosis, asthma, and poor concentration. If your child is experiencing any back related problem, you should have him or her checked by your local chiropractor. 

Make sure to start your child’s school year out right by following these backpack safety tips:

Choose a backpack designed for safety and comfort, with generous padding in the back and shoulders.

A backpack should have belts that strap around the hips and chest for extra support.

Backpacks with pockets and compartments inside distribute the weight across the back evenly.

Look for a backpack with straps on the sides or bottom to compress the contents, so that items are as close to the back as possible.  

A backpack should never weigh more than 15 percent of your child's body weight and it should not rest lower than the base of the child's back.

NUCCA Chiropractic and Innate Intelligence

THE FLOW OF LIFE WITH NUCCA

Do you ever think about what organizes and balances the universe and keeps it in existence?

DD Palmer, the inventor of Chiropractic, did and he concluded that an intelligent energy organizes matter and keeps it in existence. He called this organizing energy Universal Intelligence. Its mission is to maintain balance through out the universe. It is everywhere all the time. It is infinite, perfect, and has never made a mistake.

Do you ever think about what runs you?

Well, a subunit of Universal Intelligence, which DD and BJ Palmer, the developer of Chiropractic, called Innate Intelligence, resides in ALL living things and it runs them. Like Universal Intelligence, Innate is infinite, perfect, has never made a mistake and always works for the highest good for the living thing in which it resides. Your Innate Intelligence’s mission is to maintain balance within you and keep you in balance with the universe.  Innate is driven to help you survive.

This power, your innate, builds you from one cell and keeps you healthy. Every day billions of cells die within you and are replaced by new cells. The quality of these cells, the quality of your life is dependent on one thing; the quantity of Innate reaching them over your nerve system.  NUCCA Care allows this power to flow from above down, inside out you will have access to your full healing potential and your full life potential.

Subluxations dim down the flow of innate from brain to body and that my friend, negatively affects every aspect of your existence.

NUCCA chiropractors locate and correct subluxations through specific adjustments, thereby maximizing your healing power and innate potential. No other health profession can do this. NUCCA chiropractors don not treat disease, symptoms or sickness, they turn up LIFE.

You, your children your family, in fact everyone on the planet deserves to have maximum healing power and life potential flowing through them from birth to death. Please tell others about the power of living clear through regular adjustments.

No Gym, No Problem

Just this week, three different patients told me they pay for a gym membership, but do not go to the gym!  Other people for various reasons loathe the thought of being in a gym.  I have great news for all of you suffering with gym-a-phobia.  No gym is required for you to achieve your health and fitness goals, lose weight, and put on lean muscle mass!  In fact, you don’t even need a weight set or expensive treadmill.  All that is required is a desire to get moving and to do it often.  South Florida has provided us the best “gym” we can imagine.  We have the most beautiful beaches in the world at our fingertips and our city provides walking trails, tennis courts, swimming pools, and even adult recreational leagues. 

Technology is changing the landscape of fitness as well.  New gaming consoles now bring physical activity together with the thrill of the tantalizing graphics of video games.  Wii and Kinect now bring snowboarding, boxing and yoga right into your living room.  You can even have a break dancing contest with the family.  You can have some friendly competition with the family while improving your balance, coordination, and even burn calories.  Another popular movement in fitness is the high intensity home exercise DVDs that promise a new body in 90 days.  We have all seen the infomercials with the before and after pictures and testimonials.  P90X and Insanity are touting great results by their users and do not force you into a two year gym membership or make you wipe the hulks sweat off the equipment.  Choose the DVD or gaming console that best fits your needs and let technology start to help you become more active rather than less. 

Working out is a vital lifestyle choice.  Exercise is proven to prevent life threatening diseases like heart disease, cancer and diabetes.  The American College of Sports Medicine recommends 30-60 minutes per day of continuous movement.  My philosophy is to move as much as possible.  Our bodies are designed to move and tend to function much better with consistency of activity and exercise.  Rather than looking at exercise as part of a weight loss program or a new year’s resolution it needs to be a way of life.  Creating an active lifestyle is one of the healthiest strategies to maximizing health and wellness for you and your family.   Our patients following are recommendations have more energy, better digestion, lower blood pressure, better self image and a higher quality of life.

Schedule time every weekend to do a family fun activity.  Pull out the old cleats and play football on Sunday rather than just camping out on the couch and watching TV all day.   Take a walk after dinner as a family.  Walk to pick your kids up from their practice or activity. Join a class or league such as tennis, kickball, softball or running club.  Get a workout partner who will keep you accountable.  Overall, the key to working out successfully in 2011 is making it a priority and scheduling it.  Remember your kids look up to you and by setting a good example of a healthy lifestyle, you are directly impacting their habits, health and happiness. 

We will be hosting two free seminars in January to lead our community to natural health and wellness.
Tuesday, January 11 at 6pm- Detox with the Doc
