THERE IS A DIFFERENCE by B.J. Palmer, Developer of Chiropractic 1949

The difference between the great, the near great or commoner, is in the limitations of matter -- not in any limitations of the Innate producer within them.
And what limits matter?
The vertebral subluxation -- itself a limitation of matter--which occludes an opening
     producing pressure upon a nerve
     reducing the supply of the producer to the product
     limiting the action of the priduct to repriduce the producer
If there were no vertebral subluxation
     --no occlusion of any vertebral foramina
     --no pressure upon nerves
     --no reduction of supply between producer and product
     --no limitation of product to repreduce the poducer
all men would be equal in producer and product.
    That which scales human beings is their physical inability to climb to the heights of the Innate producer within them
    For this reason the slient and vital factor of human production is entirely wrapped up in the supreme importance of the vertebral subluxation.
   To adjust the subluxation, then, is to advance mankind, step up his efficiency, increase his ability, make him more natural and more at peace within himself; for all things are possible to him whose body equals his Innate.
   Men themselves are not great.  Men are great only insofar as they do something which is construed as great by other men.
   Why are there so few great and near great and so many so far removed from doing great things?
   They are down he ladder of accomplishment on the various rungs of the ladder, somewhere between the top and bottom.
   There is on fundamental answer, subject to two classifications:
   1st.  If there were 100 per cent continuous, uninterupted flow beween Innate brain and Educated brain, the educated thoughts and action would be equivalent to the thoughts and actions of Innate itself.
   There are few.
   There are few 100 per cent, fully alive, healthy and sane educations.
   In exact ratio as they are up the ladder, they are more nearly 100 per cent alive,
healthy and sane.
   In exact ratio as they are seen the ladder below 100 per cent, they are
dying, unhealthy, and insane, and to that exttent they are not great or near-great.
   Innate cannot produce a great 100 per cent external product, via education in a
less that 100 per cent sick or insane education.  Innate must flow fully, freely, naturally, to, through, and into the educated brain to produce what education calls greatness.
   Innate cannot do when there is a vertebral subluxation between Innate and Educated brains which interferes with the 100 per cent normal quantity and quality flow.
   2nd.  In exact ratio as the vertebral subluxation interferes with the normal 100 per cent flow between Innate and Educated, to that extent Innate takes the value of education.
    As the verbebral subluxation creates an insane and unnatural value on education, to that extent the sane and natural becomes unreal --"uneducated."

The above article - written by Dr. B.J. Palmer Developer of the Chiropractic Profession was extracted from the 1949 Volume XXII of his Green Book Series. This piece demonstrates the profound depth of his contemplation of the Big Idea at the heart of this model of health care.  The Innate philosophy is the foundational principle and premise upon which the chiropractic profession is founded. If vertebral subluxation is this devastating in Dr. Palmer's expert opinion, as a dedicated researcher,  master communicator and midwife to the birth of the chiropractic profession, certainly it is time the world was introduced to his perspective.

The Formula: Time+Repetition=Result

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.

HOW TO HANDLE THE STRESS OF MOVING

HOW TO HANDLE THE STRESS OF MOVING

As an expert in Stress Management Dr. Robert Pike from Pike Chiropractic Healing Center in Keswick shares with us some tips to improve our moving experience by reducing the amount of stress we feel.  Wayne Winch and his team with comments by Dr. Bob Pike collaborate in this blog to elevate your moving experience to the next level!
Moving is a very stressful life event. Recent studies show it can be as stressful as divorce and dealing with the death of a loved one. These are a few reasons why we feel stress when moving:

1.       Loss of Security: Moving disrupts your normal routine and generates feelings of uncertainty and insecurity. When we make a move we are giving up known levels of security and trading them for the unknown.  A very common type of tension is FEAR of the unknown! We can defeat it by embracing it as a new friend.

2.       Packing: As we pack up our years of accumulated belongings, we are forcing ourselves to review our lives. We may find old photographs, mementos, letters or clothing that remind us of years gone by that can trigger both positive and negative responses. Another emotional barrier that can be reframed as a kind of graduation ceremony. An initiation into your next chapter of life!

3.       Loss of Support: Old communities provide stability and support. We know the schedule of local amenities and the location of places that are routine within our lives. We have developed relationships with neighbours and teachers. We have made friends. 
      This very strong foundation will actually provide you with the launching pad needed to successfully take off and navigate through the challenges in your move!

Moving is stressful, but it does help to become aware of the internal sources of your stress. Knowing the sources can help us find solutions to overcome the stress of moving as quickly as possible. 

Tips to make your move less stressful with  Dr. Pike’s perspective added!

1.       Be prepared - Advance planning and organization will make your move go smoother.  Make sure you have all your closing day paperwork with you in a file. Put aside a little money for forgotten little extras like bubble wrap and coffee for helpers.  Acknowledge yourself for summoning the stamina and initiative to make the decision to deliberatly change your life. Recognize your self for being totally responsible to your ideal life vision! The biggest stress of life is our failure to consistently recognize our own value and uniqueness!

2.       Don't forget to eat - Health and Nutrition plays a very big role in our ability to cope with stress. Know local dining options, you are not going to want to cook for your family on moving day, treat yourself to a meal out, or order a meal in, but do not forget to eat! What a great idea! My suggestion would be to do this on a regular basis to bond with each other and the new neighbourhood too! Family time is always a healthy choice!

3.       Find care for Kids - Enlist in the help of family to watch children while you are sorting and moving boxes initially. Children should not be removed from the process of moving entirely, but perhaps a visit with Grandma during your initial loading can help keep you focused on the task at hand.  Brilliant strategy!

4.       Relax - Your mindset can really play havoc on your emotions on moving day and if you can't view the move as a positive experience you will have trouble shaking the tension that can build up.  Seeing your move as positive evidence of your commitment to manifest your best life experience will empower you with inspiration for your personal  journey...I very healthy state!

Stress Relief services at Pike Chiropractic Healing Center

Sometimes the stress of moving can linger for a few weeks to a few months depending on the length of your move or the distance of your relocation. These feelings of insecurity and anxiety can affect your everyday life and should not be ignored.

Dr. Pike has identified 7 key stategies to reduce stress by increasing life:

  • Have you ever thought that you live through your nervous system?   Keep yours healthy with regular chiropractic spinal checkups
  • Good  posture,  proper spinal hygiene and regular spinal subluxation checkups  are the secret        to a  strong body with full function including a healthy heart, immune and digestive systems.
  • Right thinking and a creative attitude is totally essential  to success in your move  and  in  life!  
          Be sure to have an consummate expert Like Wayne Winch lifting the load and doing the work
         of thinking through your big move!

  •   Proper nutrition reduces fast food chemical toxicity buildup and ensures  proper cellular building materials are available for when you need them.
  • - Regular specific  exercise is a discipline that will pay off big time! Just ask Wayne.
  • - Adequate rest is essential to allow needed repair and healing of the physical body during sleep.
  • - Proper hydration of the body means drinking half your body weight in ozs of water during the days  activities.
Dr. Bob invites anybody seeking increased vitality to handle lingering feelings of stress after a move to call or visit him at his office.  He offers  The Health Orientation Class every Thursday night at 7:15pm: This is a great opportunity to introduce yourself and learn a little more about these 7 key health habits and how they can help you feel less stressed and improve your overall health and well-being.

PRINCIPLE # 2: CAUSE and EFFECT

This month we continue with the 33 principles of chiropractic and invite your feedback through whatever means works best for you.

Health and wellness is only possible for us when we respect the laws of cause and effect.
Every effect has its cause just as each cause will produce a specific outcome.

I don't wish to seem pedantic as I consider this Universal principle but I do deeply desire to share a frame of reference or perpective witth my fellow earthlings.

When considering the large topic of  'health', it makes sense to me that our most deeply held beliefs will in turn cause thinking and actions which either move us closer to or further from Life. As a health care practitioner, my primary intent is to assist others (those who honour me with the privilege) to stay as connected with Life as is possible. I invite all others who share this intent to contact me regardless of your approach to the reconnective process. We need to heal the 'healing arts' by reconnecting with each other. Each of us is potentially a source of healing and therefore responsible to consider this task.

When I give a chiropractic adjustment to another human being, my innermost dominant intent is to facilitate this reconnection process and so enhance their experience of life.

Back to Basics...Chiropractic's First Principle-The Basic Premise

Happy New Year! This year, one of our primary goals is to educate our community about the basic Philosophy of the chiropractic profession. Our January Newsletter's theme-Back To Basics contained the first of the 33 Principles. These ideas will help you to understand the simple Truth the chiropractic profession is based upon.

The first principle is our BASIC PREMISE. Let's look at it.

Principle #1: The Major Premise. There is a Universal Intelligence in all matter, continuously giving to it all its properties and actions, thus maintaining matter in existence, and giving this Intelligence its
method of expression.

Please note..(It is essential, when learning about a concept that is new to us, to drop attachment to ideas we may be used to holding. After all we can always pick them back up after properly considering the new idea right?
There is considerable confusion about the concept of what health. The reason chiropractic is so contraversial is because it is a new concept that redefines and clarifies what health is and where it comes from). Ready?

Universal Intelligence (UI), is just what it sounds like. It is a BIG IDEA that relates to all of the physical matter in the universe including your body. For this to be true, UI must also be present inside every one of the 50 to 70 trillion cells in your body. In chiropractic we acknowledge this fact by naming the individualized aspect of UI...Innate (inborn) Intelligence (II). In this chiropractic concept of  health, there is nothing else in the universe besides UI. It is an energy and being energy; can and does change states. But this fact doesn't make any of these various states different than or separate from their source energy-UI.

Now please read that paragraph again two more times.
For invisible UI to give or share its properties and actions with visible physical matter is significant oncept of health.

After all, here on Earth, it is because of the physical, that UI can move and without UI the physical cells there wouldn't be anything to express! (Better re-read that one too ;)

So there you have it. The Chiropractic meaning of Health is the full expression of Source Energy through organized matter of its own design. Life is the word we have to describe the special relationship between Intelligence and matter. The full release of Intelligent Being through the human matter is called a Human Being.

Disease is about changes in state caused by incomplete expression. Chiropractic adjustment removes the disturbances to allow for a more complete expression.
Thanks for visiting and see you next month.

How Is The Spine Like A Guitar?

When chiropractic was first explained to me I knew that its principle was sound.
The principle to which I'm referring is LIFE itself.

The first chiropractor said..."Life is the expression of TONE".

What is tone?
Simply put tone is VIBRATION.
So it would be true to extrapolate that 'Life is the expression of vibration.'

To understand this better, think of the guitar mentioned above.
A guitar's strings vibrate when played.
The tone of the vibration is expressed through the wood of the instrument.

As a chiropractor who also plays a guitar, I know that to make music I must adjust
the vibration of the strings by applying pressure along the instrument's neck.

As a guitar player who also practices chiropractic, I know that to assist my patients to make the music of their lives, I must adjust the vibration of their spinal nerves by applying pressure along along the instrument's neck.

"There is a Universal Intelligence (vibrating) in all living things which is constantly and continuously sharing its qualities and actions with the instrument, thereby expressing through it as Life." ...(Chiropractic Premise)

True health and healing relates to this principle of  invisible Intelligence vibrating into visible life expression. What, how or why a human being chooses to believe, think, say, do or eat is entirely secondary to the Truth of this basic principle. (chiropractic's purpose and practice is entirely unique.)

For a human being to experience the true value of their life unique potential ;the fundamental vibration of what they are must be expressed in the key of their authentic TONE.

This is the chiropractic meaning of Life and the individuals journey to know TRUE HEALTH.
When a guitar is abused or ignored, it's music is painful to the ear.
When a spine is abused or ignored, it's music is destructive to the totality of the human instrument and therefore threatens the species as a whole.
"Get the Big Idea and all elso follows."...B.J. Palmer, the developer of the chiropractic profession.
.
Both the spine and a guitar are best played when IN TUNE.
