I am here to be a chiropractor I teach it to my community and to my patients. I am here to perform specific adjusments to improve spinal function. These adjustments reduce "subluxation" of the spinal system which can disturb nerve impusles as they are transmitting vital information and lifeforce messages to every cell, tissue and system of our living bodies.
The protection of the integrity of this delivery system is the most basic element of health.
Without them we can't move well.
Without them we can't digest what we eat properly.
Without these impulses circulating in their purest form our potential is comprimised.
Our living systems enter a state of less than optimal existence known as DISORDER.
It is this state of disorder which 'stops us from living'.
How is this possible?
Most of us don't grasp the principle which life proves in the first few months of our lives in mother's womb. From two cells, trillions are created as our body is built according to a pre-existing design.
Is this design visible? No. How does the invisible become a visible living form capable of self regulation, self organization and self healing?
What is true health care actually about if the above is true?
For a chiropractor the answer is to optimize the flow of this invisible force as a delivery system of all that is needed.
Is it important we know how to eat? Absolutely.
Is it important we know how to move? Yes!
Is it necessary to breath properly? Ummhmm.
Is how we use our mind to think and our heart to feel and express emotion something we need to learn practice and train on? If we want to really live these are vital to us. But they aren' health care, they are lifestyle choices.
Is it acceptable to live any lifestyle while our life energies are subluxated and altered from their true state?
Is is accetable to play an untuned guitar or piano? Well IS IT?
What make us lose our tune?
Would STRESS be too simple an answer?
'Stay tuned' next time as I delve into this matter of maladaptation to life's curveballs.
Yours for health and Well Being...from inside-out,

"That Something" A Full Functioning CNS Creates!
How do we understand HEALING? Would it be accurate to say that healing includes everything which needs to happen at the same time, all the time, for a life time in order to Live fully? How about describing LIFESTYLE?

I Love Thinking About This Stuff!
We live on a living planet...the dominant theme here is LIFE.
Health has to be about increasing access by the forces of Life Expressing through its vehicle.
What the hell does that mean?
In the last blog I stated that Chiropractic is a BIG idea.
I don't really care what we call the idea.
Chiropractic schmiropractic.
It's about the invisible becoming visible HERE & NOW.
Big enough??
Why can't we fully perceive the invisible until it manifests?
Is our brain set that way for a reason?
The best way for human beings to appreciate the science behind the Life Principle is...
by observing conception and the process of gestation as a human form
is created by the forces determined to express through this awesome form.
What the hell does that mean?
Why do so many of us use these capacities to doubt the magnitude and meaning of what is BEING HERE & NOW.
It's not about any particular religion...There are many.
It's not about any scientific method...There are many ways of seeing and measuring the one and the many.
It is about what is noticing all this and why.
See you next time.
Thanks for spending the time here and now.
I appreciate it.

The Chiropractic Idea...It's big.
There's a saying about the fate of new ideas. They face a vicious cycle of ridicule, opposition and eventual acceptance as being self-evident. Chiropractic is at the third stage. At this time 2% of the world's population uses the chiropractic approach in their lifestyle as a part of their personal care strategy.
The simple explanation of our profession's unique role is this: Our Science: The brain is a master control of the trillions of cells and systems making the body's functions operate in the state of natural order. Nerve impules are sent at 300 miles/hr to and from the brain in response to the body's feedback through the central communication network - the spinal cord. Interestingly, both the brain and the cord are protected by bone. The fact that the verterbral bones forming a cable around the cord may misalign and disturb these nerves explains why chiropractors are mistaken for 'back' doctors.
Our Art: The art of chiropractic is the specific adjustment done for the purpose of restoring optimum connection within the spinal transmissions between body and brain.
If you have difficulty accepting the size of this idea, this means you are yet unfamiliar with our philosophy: All health and healing is from above - down and inside-out. (ADIO is the relevant chiropactic acronym!) You may have noticed the recent focus on brain health. Consider this...can a brain without complete connection to the body remain in a healthy state? In chiropractic we have a term for this condition. It is SUBLUXATION.
Stay tuned to this blog as I will demonstrate the chiropractic theory of dis-ease as a provable one. Nerve connection = order. Loss of nerve connection (subluxation) = disorder. In this blog we'll expand on this vitalistic paradigm of health and wellness explained in scientific terms that are known and accepted.

The Triad of Health
There are lots of triangles in the sacred geometry of the Universe. Three is a recurring theme, for example, the milking stool, the tricycle and the push-scooter where one leg compliments the two wheels in order for speed and momentum to be possible with some control. The principle in physics is W=FxT (work equals force times time)
The Triad of Health shows up in several different dynamics as this blog will illustrate. Today let's look at the different dynamics behind one of your body's articulations or joints. Take the elbow. If you want to have a drink of water from the glass you are holding in your hand several principles must coincide to produce the act of elbow flexion and bring the glass up toward your mouth.
There are three different components or forces involved if we simplify it: passive, active and interactive.
The bones of the upper and lower arm are passive and meet at the elbow joint, a sophisticated hinge-type articulation, similar to the knee in some ways. The term passive means bones cannot initiate movment on their own. They are functionally inert, making bone a passive player in the joint mechanism.
Muscle moves bone. But a muscle on its own isn't capable of either contraction (shortening) or relaxation (lengthening) without a nerve impulse to inform it which action to perform. Muscle is the active component of joint motion.
Interactive forces are signals broadcast from the brain to the muscle. It isn't possible to describe the interactive component of movement without some appreciation of the body's Innate Intelligence. For example, to contract one muscle and bring a glass of water to the mouth, the brain must simultaneously send an impulse to relax the opposing muscle allowing it to lengthen.
In chiropractic, the triad we use to address the sophisticated interactivities within our body looks like this:
Matter - Force- Inteligence. That's it for today.
Next time we'll explore the chiropractic model of health as order and dis-ease as dis-order. The meaning of subluxation will be much more clear now that we more fully appreciate the Triad of Health.

What's in a name, or password for that matter?
This is my first blog entry.
The experience of facing the empty page with nothing but past esperiences and the unlimited potentials of my life to either express or not is both daunting and exhillarating.
Today is sunny and warm.
I choose to go out into these elements after an extended time of dim coolness.
Stay tuned for the next entry in which I will outline the triad of life at the core of true health and healing.
Understanding the mysterious synchronicities which coincide as true health or its apparent absence and communicating occasional insights is one of my passions.
I hope and intend for this sharing to be mutually beneficial in a huge way.
