Some said it wouldn’t last.  Some said “give them six months” – now it is the largest meeting of Chiropractic delegates in the United Kingdom!  That is/was the United Chiropractor’s Association  annual Conference in Birmingham over the weekend -  and we were there!

Over the years there have been many individuals and organisations trying to silence the soul and spirit of the true Chiropractic story – people who want to move away from the founding principles of Chiropractic and reduce Chiropractic to back and neck pain therapy.  We are delighted to announce – Chiropractic in it’s purest form is alive and well – AND GROWING with thanks to Melissa and Amanda from the UCA and tireless individuals who work with passion and compassion to bring the message that health and vitality is within your reach – by keeping the nervous system free of interference so that the body can do its marvellous work of self healing.  Chiropractic is a science, art and philosophy that allows individuals to express the health and life potential they were born to have, and the United Chiropractors Association and it’s members are working to keep it that way.

Look this way for a lifestyle of  natural health and vitality!

Yes, Chiropractic is different!  Different because Chiropractors do not use drugs or surgery – they remove interferences to the nervous system super highway to allow the body to heal itself naturally, as nature intended.

In the process, people sometimes use words to describe what Chiropractors do – however you can -

• “Pop” a cork
• “Crack” a joke
• “Fix” a flat tyre
• “Treat” a child
• and
• “Cure” cement

but Chiropractors ADJUST the spine!  Thank you Bill!

THIS IS THE CHIROPRACTIC DIFFERENCE!

Consult a Chiropractic Life Chiropractor and experience the power of an adjustment!

In yesterday’s post we talked about “thinking well”  and the part a positive mental attitude plays in contributing to health and vitality.

Horticultural Therapy is one such solution to helping you to Think Well, Eat Well and Move (Well).

The restorative and beneficial qualities of gardening have been demonstrated by many ancient cultures throughout the ages.  A love and appreciation of gardening brings together nature and beauty, providing an atmosphere of safety, peace and joy.  By working with the soil and nurturing plants we create a comforting, creative space just to “be” which allows us to escape from the frantic fast paced world we live in.

This is a reassuring, satisfying activity which can boost confidence, provide much needed solitude or social interaction if desired, in a supportive environment. Mental health is improved through self belief and social interaction, physical dexterity as fitness improves and you are even able to benefit from consuming or sharing your own produce!

As a Horticultural Therapist, Jan offers an opportunity to help people develop in ways that may not have been obvious before, to grow not only the plants but people themselves!  It is an ideal way to open up new doors and opportunities whether recovering from an illness or loss or simply want an alternative way to stay fit!  You have the opportunity to learn a new skill, make a new friend or find a new “you” that you never knew existed – naturally!

Jan is happy to work with you in your own private garden or an independent site and can be contacted on 07808 401 106   or email jan@plantingideas.co.uk for more information.

It depends on which foods have been canned, but fresh is always best!

Canned foods undergo a heat process which destroys nutrients and affects food to varying degrees  -  depending on which food it is.  Fruit and vegetables are more easily affected than beans.

Fruits and vegetables are especially important sources of vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients like carotenoids and flavonoids. Vitamins and phytonutrients are especially susceptible to degradation from heat, which robs food of vast amounts of nutrients.

Heating does not damage protein, fiber, and minerals in the same way as it can damage vitamins and phytonutrients. You can expect to receive the protein, fiber, and mineral benefits from canned beans-in much the same way as you would receive from dry beans cooked at home.  Unlike fruits and vegetables, beans cannot be eaten raw. Beans have to be cooked (or processed in some other way, like sprouted); not only do they have to be cooked, they have to be cooked for a fairly extensive period of time, so if enjoying canned beans is a more convenient option, then use with confidence and enjoy, however any additives should be observed and avoided if possible.  Obviously, organically grown is best.

Dr James Chestnut helps us ask the right questions so that we can know the right answers!

• What is the Wellness & Prevention Paradigm?
• What are it’s major premises and/or assumptions?
• How does this differ from the allopathic paradigm and the major premises or assumptions of this paradigm?
• How do allopathic and wellness & prevention practitioners differ in terms of intervention and clinical outcome goals?
• Which practitioners are more evidence-based in terms of improving health outcomes and prevention of chronic illness?
• Why does the allopathic paradigm and why do allopathic interventions dominate in terms of funding for research and healthcare interventions regarding chronic illness despite overwhelming evidence of ineffectiveness, harm, and bankrupting costs?
• If we are to solve the chronic health care crisis caused by the chronic illness pandemic – which paradigm will be required as a solution? –  more drugs, radiation and surgery to treat diagnosed chronic illness or more lifestyle intervention to increase health and prevent chronic illness?
• Does treating chronic illness with drugs, radiation and surgery cure chronic illness, prevent chronic illness, prolong life, or save money?
• Does lifestyle intervention – taking responsibility to Eat Well, Move Well and Think Well?

Let the discussion and debate begin!!

Socrates said “If you would have health – look first to the spine”.

The spine is made of many bone segments which house and protect the spinal cord and the smaller spinal nerve branches that come off the spinal cord and exit between the bones.  These nerve pathways carry information or messages between the brain and the cells of the body. These messages are essential for the life of the cells.  Without vital brain messages, the cells immediately begin the process of dying; i.e., they can no longer function the way they should, to maintain health and vitality.

Because the bones are moveable, they can misalign in such a way as to interfere with the messages and, ultimately, the ability of the person to function at their best or express their optimum life potential.

Misalignments can be caused by a wide variety of factors, which we refer to as stressors.    These stressors can be physical (such as accidental trauma, sleeping posture and mattress condition, the birth process, sneezing, falling down, etc.), mental / emotional (in its many forms, probably the most familiar use of the word stress), or chemical (such as pollution, chemicals, drugs, etc.), which are, unfortunately, a regular part of living in the industrialised world – so misalignments may be caused from a multitude of reasons.

Misalignments are rarely obvious to the individual they affect – except when they have pain,  however misalignments frequently have no symptoms at all – at least not initially.   The reason is that most of what goes on inside us happens without our awareness.  As an example, try to “feel” your liver.  What’s it doing right now?  We can’t know, so we have no idea if it is  functioning at its best or something less -  so our body function may be far from optimal and we would not even know it.  The branching of the nerve pathways is complex and extensive, making it exceedingly difficult to predict or determine exactly how the person will be affected.  In order to know if someone has spinal misalignments they need a Chiropractic checkup.

Since misalignments of the spinal column can be caused by so many different things, many people choose to maintain their health through regular Chiropractic care in order to enjoy their life more, knowing that the power that made the body is also the power that heals the body – through the nervous system, housed inside the moving bones of the spinal column.  Socrates knew this.  The ancients knew this. The modern world has rejected this wisdom, however, there are still many who understand that the nervous system is still the powerhouse of the body and our five children whose ages add up to 133 years today without ever having been to a medical doctor, and having had Chiropractic Care since the day they were born -  are a living testament to that fact!

Each person has a unique life potential – by removing nerve interference it is possible to realize that potential!

The doctor of the future will give no medicine but will interest his patients in the care of the human frame, in diet and in the cause and prevention of disease.
- Thomas Edison

That future is here!

Chiropractic IS that future!!!!

Thomas Edison was absolutely correct, the things that your doctor should be pointing you towards for your health are not drugs and surgery, but care of the human frame (your spine), your diet and your mental/emotional health – these are the corner stones of true health and vitality and can be summed up in one word – LIFESTYLE!

If your doctor is not supporting you to make changes in these areas of your life, we suggest you look for a doctor who will.

Our Doctors of Chiropractic are vitally interested in helping you make sustainable lifestyle changes that will influence your health.

Consult us today to create the future Mr Edison spoke of!
