#16 ADIO 

3/12/2014

0 Comments

 
           If you thought that I was going to write an essay to compare and contrast the hifi’s in the 1970’s (when they made good music) to the ipods of the 21st century, alas, you would be wrong.  No, I really do mean ADIO, not AUDIO.  It stands for Above Down Inside Out which is the direction that our life force flows, if I may use such metaphysical terminology without offending my reader.  Each of us does indeed have a life force.  It is the spark that animates our cells, without which we would be just a collection of carbon and hydrogen based molecules.  Just where that spark first came from is THE question of life.  I personally believe it was a gift from God divinely given to His creation, man, or human.  But that is not THE question of this article. 

             But a Question: What is the difference between the cadaver on the slab and the person that used to animate that body?  Answer: Life.  Question: What is life?  Answer:  No one really knows.  But we do know that life has rules, laws, conduct of behavior.  These rules are always followed.  They are outlined in every chemistry and physics text book.  These are the rules of life, the rules or forces of the universe.  They cannot be violated.  Gravity always goes down.  Positive and negative poles always attract.  Sun light is always composed of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet light.  Velocity is always measured as distance divided by time.  An object in motion will always remain in motion unless acted on by an outside force.  Etc.

Now we’re going to get deep here.  Stay with me.  These forces are the forces that hold your body together and keep it alive.  And these forces are also the very same forces that will eventually wear down your body and put it into a permanent sleep.  Sad but true.  Here’s the spark.  Your body has a power, a life, an intelligence in it and its entire job is to use these forces of the universe to keep your body healthy and properly functioning for a lifetime.  This force is the force of life.  It is the soul.  It is Innate Intelligence.  It goes by many names.  But regardless of what you call it, it does indeed flow through your body in the ADIO, Above Down Inside Out manner.

ABOVE from your brain.  DOWN through your nerve system through the spinal cord.  From the INSIDE of the spinal column.  To the OUTside to your vital organs, tissues, and cells.  Many things can block it, and vertebral subluxation always does.  That is why I do what I do.  No other reason.

    After writing an article per week for a year, I just kept going.  These are most of my collection.  They are written with my existing patients in mind, so some stuff may seem odd or unusual, but would make perfect sense to those who know chiropractic and who know me.  Enjoy and share!  For my personal blog visit:

What Our Patients Have To Say

Yolanda wrote:
     
     I used to suffer severe headaches and migraines on a daily basis, usually all day.  I managed to work in an office because I had to.  When I went home at the end of the day I would often close the shades and go to bed.  I could not plan weekend events because I simply never knew how I was going to feel tomorrow.  If there were a special event such as a birthday or wedding, I would begin to medicate myself two weeks in advance to give myself the best chance of making the event.
     Friends and fellow church-goers had been trying to get me to see Dr. Rick for some time before I finally gave in.  Looking back, I don’t know why I waited.  Within a month, I was headache free.  I couldn’t remember what it was like to not feel pain.  I could do whatever I wanted and not live in fear of the headache.  This was a miracle for me, but the story does not end here.
     An opportunity came up for us to adopt a newborn baby girl not long after I began chiropractic care.  This baby was particularly important to me and my husband because her mother is a relative.  Tragically, her mother was also a drug user and did drugs during her pregnancy.  If we could not adopt the baby she would have been put into the foster system since the biological mother was incapable of raising her.
     To keep a long story short, we did adopt her and she is doing fantastically.  There is no sign of any effect of the drugs on her as of yet, and with God’s help, there never will be.  We think that is because of the vast amounts of love and attention she gets from us, her real mommy and daddy.
     What does this have to do with chiropractic?  The reality is that without chiropractic, I would still be nearly an invalid with headaches.  I COULD NOT HAVE TAKEN CARE OF AN INFANT OR RAISED A YOUNG CHILD.  THEREFORE, SHE WOULD NOT HAVE ANY OF THE OPPORTUNITIES IN LIFE THAT MY HUSBAND AND I WILL BE ABLE TO PROVIDE FOR HER.  MY DAUGHTER’S LIFE IS POSSIBLE BECAUSE SOMEBODY MADE ME GO TO A CHIROPRACTOR. 
     You need to tell everyone you know what you know about chiropractic.  Who knows who’s life you will change too.

     Hello, My name is Andrew and I am a happy, healthy one year old.  But I wasn’t so happy or healthy when I first met Dr. Rick a few months ago.  I had been having problems with my ears for four months, I couldn’t sleep at night and I was miserable.  We’d been to the doctor lots of times but nothing was helping.  In fact, all the medicines the doctor had tried seemed to make me worse instead of better!  Both the regular doctor and the Ear-Nose and Throat doctor said that if the antibiotics didn’t work, then they’d just have to put tubes in.  Now my Mom and dad weren’t about to let them do surgery on me, especially since they had been reading and learned that tubes can cause more problems than they solve.  My mom and dad did a lot of praying.  Then my mom heard that sometimes babies who have a traumatic birth like mine have ear trouble.  You see when I was born they used a vacuum extractor and forceps to pull me out.  I guess all that yanking on my head, hurt my neck.  She also heard that chiropractic care can be the answer.  Now she was skeptical because she couldn’t imagine a chiropractor helping ear infections!?!  But at that point she was willing to try anything!!  Happily, a few weeks of adjustments and my ears were all cleared up.  In addition, I no longer had a stiff neck or shoulders and my whole personality was happier.  I have to tell all babies who have ear troubles, don’t let them give you tubes until you at least try chiropractic care first.  After all, it can’t hurt and if you’re like me, you could be perfectly well with no drugs and no surgery.  In my family, we thank God for Dr. Rick, because I feel better, my mom and dad are happier and sometimes, I even sleep through the night.
