#21 The Chiro Zone

3/12/2014

0 Comments

 
            You're traveling through another dimension -- a dimension not only of sight and sound but of mind. A journey into a wondrous land whose boundaries are that of the nervous system. That's a signpost up ahead: your next stop: the Chiro Zone!  If you are old like me you will recognize that I have misquoted the great Rod Serling of Twilight Zone fame.  The Chiro Zone is that zone of influence that subluxation can have on your health.  The Chiro Zone extends from the center of your brain to the very endings of the nerve fibers throughout your body.  Let’s look deeper into the Chiro Zone.

            I have heard that we may have as many as 40 quadrillion cells in our body.  That number is as good as any to illustrate my point.  The planet earth has 6 billion people on it +/-.  Therefore it would take 7 million planet earths, each with 6 billion people, to give you the same number of people that you have cells in your body.  Most of these cells are stuck in the same place throughout your lifetime and some are mobile, such as blood cells, but each and every one of them is in constant contact with every other one through a wondrous network of nerve fibers.  These nerves carry commands from the brain to the cells and feedback information from the cells back to the brain.  And furthermore, the part of your huge brain that controls all the automatic functions, the brain stem, is only about the size of your thumb.  Now let’s get back to the people and planets.  Imagine that every one of the 6 billion people on the 7 million earths has a cell phone in order to maintain contact with every other of the 40 quadrillion humans all at the same time, and all without any dropped calls.  Imagine further that the function of each human is to do whatever is necessary not for his or herself, but whatever is necessary for the good of every other person.  This is how your body maintains health.  This is the Chiro Zone.

            It is hard enough for your body to do this under ideal circumstances, when you are well rested, with good nutrition, in a healthy body.  But what of dropped calls?  We expect them in our cell phones.  No big deal.  Can we tolerate dropped calls in our body, subluxation?  How many dropped calls until there is dysfunction, or until there is disease?  Subluxation is an interference to your communication system.  It is a down cell tower.  It is a nerve that is not properly carrying the commands of the brain, or the feedback from the cell. 

            The subluxation can and does affect any part of your body.  The Chiro Zone is from the top of your head to the bottoms of your feet, from the deepest internal organ to the epidermis of your skin.

    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!

What Our Patients Have To Say

     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.
