Often habits of ineffectiveness are rooted in our social conditioning toward quick-fixes or short-term thinking. In school, many of us procrastinate and then cram for tests. I have a question for you, does”cramming” work on a farm? Can you go two weeks without milking the cow, and then get out there and milk like crazy? Can you “forget” to plant in the spring, goof off all summer, and then hit the ground really hard in the fall to bring in the harvest? We might laugh at such ludicrous approach to farming, yet 97% of Americans use this same approach when it comes to maintaining their health.
Habits of the Three Percent
They have a different philosophy than the other 97%. It’s their belief that it is much easier to stay well than to get well. (What a Concept!) They constantly look for ways to drive their health upward to the next level. They understand that medicine has its place, yet they rarely use it. They have a deep understanding that one’s immunity is “everything” and they work at keeping it strong. They don’t worry about the Media’s Latest Health Worry. They understand that true health comes from the inside and so does disease.
“The Microbe is nothing. The terrain is everything.”
Louis Pasteur, said the above on his deathbed, finally recanted his germ theory by admitting that the microbe (germs) is nothing. The terrain (your body’s immunity) is everything. The 3% understand this fact.
The Strategy of the Three Percent
They eat quality foods. Drink pure water. Exercise regularly. Get adequate rest. Exercise stress management. Have their spine’s routinely checked for subluxations. Take quality whole food supplements. Spend time out in nature. Read positive literature.
Sounds simple doesn’t it? However, the numbers suggest that it is not that easy. It all comes down to a choice. Your Choice!
I’m frequently asked my opinion on the causes of Autism. If you are reading this, you are probably painfully aware of how controversial this topic is. Most of the controversy is centered around vaccination.
As a physician, I try to look for the “obvious” cause first. I find it amazing how often the “obvious” is overlooked. You know the saying, if it looks like a duck, walks like a duck and quacks like a duck. It’s probably a duck. The component in the vaccine that is the most controversial, is Thimerosal, which is a mercury compound. What do we know about mercury? Mercury is a “known” neurotoxin. Meaning it is toxic to the nervous system. This cannot be good for an infant’s developing brain and nervous system.
I always advise new parents to ask a lot of questions when contemplating vaccinating their children. Here are three “extremely” important ones:
If my child is vaccinated, can they still contract the illness or disease they are being vaccinated against?
If my child is vaccinated, can the vaccine possibly cause neurologicaldamage?
If my child is vaccinated, could he or she become deathly ill?
If you have an Autistic child, you now realize the importance of the above questions. If you are a new parent, it is your obligation to become informed. Your child is voiceless in this matter.

You wake up with a stiff neck, thinking you have slept wrong. You confidently say to yourself… Maybeit will go away. As the day goes on, you notice that your shoulder and arm begin to develop a peculiar ache. Well, it has been two days and not only has the pain not subsided but it has increased to the point where you are unable to sleep. Your posture and wincing, alert everyone that you are in pain. People start coming up to you with home remedies and suggestions. Slowly you realize that this problem is bigger than any pain medication you currently have in your medicine cabinet.
Why am I hurting?
There are a variety things that can cause this. However, in each case, it is due to nerves being irritated or compressed. In many instances this type of a problem begins as a mechanical problem. What do I mean by a mechanical problem? Simply put, our spine is made up of many vertebra. These vertebra fit together and move together in a very specific way. Each vertebra is separated from the other by discs and connected to one another by ligaments. The ligaments not only hold everything together but allow a certain amount of motion in a variety of directions. On occasion, due to trauma, repetitive activities, sleeping incorrectly or simply weakness, the vertebra in your spine can shift outside of their normal position or location. When this happens, the spinal ligaments can become inflamed and press on the nerves that exit your spine. Where this happens will determine where you feel the pain. The pain can radiate up into your head, your upper back or down into your arm. Below is and example of pain patterns caused from problems in your neck. You have seven vertebra in your neck C1 is the top vertebra and C7 is the lowest vertebra.
Is this problem correctable?
In the majority of instances the answer yes! The first thing we need to do is to find out exactly where in your spine the problem is originating from. Once we find the problem area, we work on correcting the faulty position and mechanics. As you begin to heal, you will notice the pain will begin to retrace itself. Like playing a movie backwards until you are only left with neck pain which over time will also go away.
If you are suffering with neck and arm pain and live in the Cincinnati area give me a call. Life is too short to live with pain.
