Thanks for visiting Lifeforce5.
We have big problems in our culture. But there is a way out. The first thing to admit is that our cultural values are weak. Not that we don't have any...is just that we don't focus on them. To life them fully we must begin to live each day with an 'end in mind'.
Before we can experience what if feels like to live full out, we must declare what our values are and set a plan to make them real. This plan will happen over time, involve repetition and lead to where we intended to go. 'Start with the end in mind' is the concept. This end must be specific, measurable and connected to our vision of our ideal life.
As mentioned above the formula of success is TIME/REPETITION = OUTCOME. We will be discussing this principle in relation to health and wellness each week at Pike Chiropractic during Monday Night Live at 7:15pm at 204 Simcoe Ave. Unit 10.

CHILD ON DEATHBED...MEET CHIROPRACTIC...*A MUST READ*
CHILD ON DEATH BED......MEET CHIROPRACTIC...*A MUST READ*
Welcome to Lifeforce5 Blog by Dr. Bob Pike a chiropractic specialist in Keswick Ontario. Please understand that this is an actual case demonstrating the power of the human body to recover its function while under the care of a chiropractor specialist trained to detect and remove disturbances of the nerve system call SUBLUXATION.
Thank you for taking the time to visit and read this account of self-healing by Lennox, an infant under the care of a chiropractor after having been medicated and declared a medical emergence and potential surgery candidate by his medical providers.
Following the introduction are comments by the provider and several colleague D.C.s...
Let me introduce you to W.A.S. This is Lennox, born at 24 weeks--birth weight 2lb1oz. Due to being a preme, Lennox spent a majority of the first year of his life in the hospital. His parents were told numerous times--he would not make it. (FAST FORWARD) Lennox is now 17months old and is home. His mom (who is a nurse) is now unable to work as Lennox requires much personal care, she is required to cathederize her son daily and do rectal stretching daily to ensure his bowels continue working, he is on 9 different meds and at his last appt. w/the nephrologist, was told his kidneys were beginning to only function at 40%...and that he may need a kidney transplant soon. He doesn't crawl, let anyone touch him other than his mom. When she puts him down, he lays on his back and pushes off his right side so much that all of the hair on his left side has worn off d/t rubbing on the floor. Five weeks ago, Lennox's lungs both collapsed and he was taken to Iowa City He has been seeing a PT since birth and local Area 7 people come to their house to check on him and do exercises.
(FAST FORWARD) 4 weeks ago, my wife who is facebook friends w/Abby sent her a message saying 'Abby, I don't know your feelings on Chiropractic, but all healing comes from within and that if his nerve system isn't working right......he may not be healing right. Dusty sees a lot of kids and would like to see Lennox and see if there is something he can do.' Abby sent a message back saying 'we don't know what else to do and will try anything at this point.' I called and talked w/her and explained chiropractic and what we should do. (to say I was scared was an understatement, she was bringing him in to me--as a last resort---*no pressure;)*---I reached out to some of my Chiro. brothas and sistas---Monika Buerger and Michael Thompson to get their input on preme's etc....and it all came down to one thing ....adjust the spine.
Lennox and Abby came in on 8/27/10 the following day (I was a sweating machine and very nervous---I had seen hundreds of kids before w/no probs., but this one was different....I was his last resort) , Lennox screamed a sceam like I had never heard. He wouldn't lay on his stomach, and when we tried, he would scream and was unable to lift his head also wouldn't allow a sub-scan as he also has hypersentivity issues (technology is good, but you must also trust your hands). Knowing his next neurology/nephrology/gastrology etc. appts. were on 9/27/10 I told Abby 'I will check him every day until his appt. in Iowa City for his Medical check-ups, then we will go from there.' They came in every day. After the first week, Abby noted " I don't know if this is a coincidence or not, but Lennox is starting to have more energy and starting to smile more often....he's also kissing more." She also told me she wanted to discuss something w/me. She opened her bag and brought out his catheder and rectal stretching device that looked like a 7 inch galvanized steel pencil that she had to insert 3/4 of the way up his rectum.....she began to tear up as she said 'If anything happens to me I want to make sure you know how to do this so that Lennox can keep getting better." I stopped her and said, "I don't know how to do any of that stuff....you take care of you so that nothing happens to you and I'll work w/Lennox's body so he can get better--deal?"--I then explained Chirpractic in more detail. As she left, I walked directly into my office and cried.....my CA came in asking if everything was OK? I said, 'No one should have to go through that with their child----catederizing, rectal stretching, feeding tube, not being able to be away from her son for more than 30min. for 17min. Why did God bring this little man into my life.' *here is why............
WEEK 2....Abby came in and said that Lennox's PT people want to know what she was doing different as Lennox was beginning to do more things than he ever has. ;)
WEEK 3....Abby shoots me and email asking if it would be alright if Lennox's Area 7 people can come and watch what we are doing, as they have never seen a child that was in Lennox's condition grow and be able to do what he is doing so quickly....;)
WEEK 4....Abby has now sheduled her daughter McKenna in who HAD been dealing w/bed wetting but since her first adjustment has wet the bed only once.:) Abby is in the process of scheduling herself and her hubby for an exam and wanting to pre-pay for the year.....before I have done an exam or gone over results ;)
Day of LENNOX'S Nephro, Medi, GastroAPPT: The day of his Iowa City check-up...My CA and I were anxious to see the little man and hear results. We knew they were scheduled for the afternoon, but also knew that Abby always posted updates on facebook of how his check-ups went. The day went on...no facebook posts, we were getting worried--something bad? An hour before her appt. Abby called and talked to Lizzy (my CA)......Lizzy hung up the phone and just smiled---"you're going to like the news"......When Abby, her mom and Lennox showed up they were almost in tears......'the doctors have never seen that much of a change....they expected to see scaring on his kidneys...there was none...they were working perfectly. Every single test they did--he scored out on and that he no longer needed to be cathederized.' Abby said that when the Doctor asked what's going on---she said 'The only thing that we have changed is that we are taking him to chiroprator.' ;):):):):):)
Later that night I went home and was checking my facebook and saw that Abby had posted something about Lennox's results. 'normal size kidneys, no scaring etc' 5 people followed w/posts of 'GREAT news' etc., then Abby followed with '.....also when Dr. Myer was surprised by the results, I said the only thing that has turned Lennox around.....the only that that is new in our lives...is Dusty Behn at Inspired Living....That I truly believe has changed Lennox's life and turned it around." a few more people posted some 'awesome! Great news etc.' Then someone else posted a 'Our son has been on acid reflux pills since he was 2 and has migranes twice a week!! Since going to Dr. Behn he's stopped his meds and not had one migraine' (I didn't even know that;)
I tell this story....first, because I'm freaking STOKED!! but secondly....NEVER doubt the power of your two hands and the impact they can have on someone---IF the intent is present. We sometimes get used to seeing people 3x, 2x 1x per week and it just becomes same old, same old. What Lennox taught me and/or reminded me of is that with EVERY adjustment there is a miracle occuring, some may be highlighted more as in Lennox's case, but EVERY time we lay our hands on someone or have an interaction w/someone.....miracles ARE happening........TRUST THAT, AND ALWAYS BELIEVE THAT things happen for a reason.
I am SO excited that my new CA was there to witness that entire transformation, she now has an entirely diff. belief in what we do and the power that it can have.
W.A.S.? Lives are at stake!!!! INspired--DustIN
This is such a lesson - not only for our clients, our detractors and the sceptics, but for us a doctors. It addresses directly, the power of INnate. It cares little for our educated mind, which seems to dummy us down from being connected to Universal Intel. It's like believing or not believing in Gravity -- it doesn't care if we do or don't; it exists.
You cannot talk a baby into believing that chiropractic works any more than you can convince an animal that it does -- there is no spoken language that can communicate this to them. But humans as infants, pre-verbal, pre-prejudiced by experience, etc., has no such limitations of belief because they have yet to define them (thank God).
All that can be said really is "Wow!"
You would hope that if offered to 20/20, 60 Minutes, Dateline.... that SOMEONE, SOMEWHERE in that mix would ask, "So... what's up with that?" SO look... If you've got a flip vid, maybe you could do your own documentary - interview those docs, nurses, moms, dads... it could be huge... HUGE I tell you. Why not? Why not make a film?
Why couldn't we all do something to make it happen??? People love movies/documentaries especially if they are "controversial" . We are in a time when more film - based on true stories - is being gobbled up by the public more than ever before and producers know that. So if any of us have ties to industry connections, this could a moment of opportunity for the profession like never before. Any takers

Love it! no better example of why chiropractic is so powerful and why we all love what we do. Restoring life to families!
AWESOME!!! Thrilled for Lennox and his family.
Stories like yours ground all of us in the power of Chiropractic...by removing nervous system disturbance, we allow innate to be fully expressed. It's beautiful!!!

Beautiful. Thanks again, Dustin, for reminding us of the why (life) behind the what (chiropractic). The world needs more of these stories
Lennox Update:
Week 6: Lennox is now able to sit for extended periods of time (has never been able to do that), he is now able to be on all fours while holding his own head up.....his mom said this past weekend that he is starting to *scoot* on all fours, however when he wants to get somewhere fast he still lays on his back and pushes off with one leg and *cruises* on his back...(but he is FINALLY starting to cross crawl!!!;)
Special Note: Area 7 has scheduled an appt. with me to observe Lennox being adjusted next Wed. to find out what we are doing to get the changes he has gotten so quickly. (cant wait to see their face when I use my pinky to his atlas, integrator to sacrum and done....less than 30sec.----and hear them say....*thats it?*) ---POWER ON!! How long does it take to flick a light switch on?;)---who else do you know?
Other Special Note: Abby (Lennoxs mom) is now getting adjusted.....to find out in her consult that she has been taking 2....let me repeat 2 Ambien every night since Lennox has been born (now 18months) to sleep d/t her worries w/Lennox. Since getting adjusted (3times) she is sleeping more sound w/out the meds;)
Note: Abbys sister--Annette prepaid to begin her daughter under care as she has *focus problems* in school;)
Abbys other sister scheduled an appt for tomorrow to see *what all the buzz is about*
Side Note: We have a meeting w/the little kids wrestling program--called the *IronHawks* to become their *Performance Coach* They have 70 little wrestlers ages 7-13 (could be a HUGE impact) Im looking into adjusting those interested and donating a portion of that fee back into their program, setting up workshops w/the participants and their parents discussing nutrition, goal setting, leadership topics and creating a legacy......Things they should learn in school but dont. Let the INspiration continue..........things are looking up in Jesup, IA.

Note to my community of "what if" readers...What if the body is actually capable of healing and balancing itself when the spine is healthy and the nerve system is undisturbed as Lennox's case demonstrates? What if because this simple fact is missing from the current 'medical health care' model, untold suffering is amplified and lives comprimised. What can you do? In my opinion, you can call my office and arrange to have me come to your workplace to teach and demonstrate the science, art and philosophy of chiropractic adjustment. One more thing you can do is make an appointment to come and have your own nerve system scanned an learn what's up with it for youself; rather than the status quo method in pur sick care system - wait for a sign, symtom or a health crisis to show up. I invite you to WAKE UP to the body's ability to self heal. Stay tuned for more and thanks for visiting LIFEFORCE 5 today.
