-Lifestyle Care is Not Based on Symptoms

The benefits of Lifestyle Care are many and well documented. From improving athletic performance, increasing brain function and increasing bone density to strengthening the immune system and preventing deterioration, the results can be dramatic. And as common sense and world renowned chiropractor, Dr. Ernie Landi has stated so eloquently, "If you prevent it, you don't have to treat it."

Symptoms are Signals
Isn't it time you stopped chasing symptoms? These signals that you get from your body are frequently misunderstood. More importantly, treating symptoms without getting to the cause of a problem can lead to mismanagement of your health and more severe health problems as you age.

When you get sick, for example, and your temperature goes up, your body is naturally fighting off the infection. Bacteria thrive in a climate that is 98.6 degrees so your body's Innate Intelligence raises your temperature to help fight off the infection on its own. The symptoms of this elevated temperature can be muscle aches, fatigue, weakness and general malaise. At the first sign or symptom of a fever, many p . . .

The Hidden Effects
The issues surrounding head injuries, including concussions, have never been a part of mainstream conversation more than they are right now. As we begin football season, the reports of thousands of ex-NFL players suing their former league regarding their mental health have shaken the sport down to its youngest players. Recently, pee-wee football organizations have released new rules limiting contact during practices.

Every athlete and parent knows football isn't the only sport that is raising concerns about head injurie . . .

Is Your Health Care Philosophy Sustainable?
When you think of "Health Care" what is the first image that pops into your mind? Do you envision hospitals, prescriptions, expensive surgeries, or a sick person? This is often what people have been conditioned to think about because the current health care delivery system is actually a Sick Care system in disguise. Fortunately, heart disease, diabetes and even many forms of cancer are preventable "lifestyle" diseases.

Lifestyle choices such as smoking, poor eating habits, sedentary living . . .

10. The times that you need your spine the most will be the time that it will tend to give out on you.
If you neglect your spine and nervous system, you can be sure that when you need it the most due to stress, physical activity, business or pleasure travel, it can give out on you. Extra stress on a weakened spine and nervous system can overload your system and contribute to health problems. Lifestyle Care can keep you healthy and prevent these inconvenient episodes from putting a damper on your life.

9. Nerve pressure can exist without pain.
According to the research, pain is not a good indicator of how healthy or unhealthy your spine and nervous system are. Spinal examinations such as posture, weight balance, palpation, muscle testing, computer scans and x-rays are m . . .

-Stop Blaming Your Genes
Here is a very important message if you want to live an active, healthy, quality of life for 80, 90, 100 years and beyond: Stop blaming your genes. Too many people rationalize unhealthy choices with words like, "Why bother, it's in my genes." You can't get away with this anymore.

The lifestyle choices that you make for yourself and your family can literally change the course of your history. A family history of heart disease or cancer used to mean that it was your destiny to get those conditions too because they were "in your genes." Through the science of Epi-genetics we are learning that nothing could be further from the truth. Epi-genetics, which means 'around the gene', has . . .

Man Up!
If you are a man and you are reading this newsletter, then I am glad we got your attention.

- The Critical Transition

"How much pain can you tolerate?" is a very interesting question. Some people have a high pain threshold and are very "macho" in their approach as they act like they can handle anything. On the other hand, many others have a mild to moderate threshold and search for a "cover up" to eliminate their unpleasant feelings. Based on the astronomical statistics of pain medication use, our level of tolerance has gone way down.

The Cost of Pain in the U.S. and Canada
In the United States the total cost of health care related to pain is approximately $600 billion and the cost to employers dealing with employees who have reduc . . .
