Path Back to Wellness

Restoring Life to the Body

Your body is an integrated system. Like a single diamond with multiple facets, your health has many components to it, each of which must be addressed for you to obtain your own best wellness.

The human body is not just a chemical beaker, ill because it has too much of one chemical or not enough of another. Medication for illness is an incomplete answer. To get to a better answer, we must ask, “What permitted or caused the body to become ill in the first place?” For years now, “germ theory” has dominated the health industry; the idea that bacteria and viruses alone are the cause of disease, and that the addition of various chemicals to the body to kill these bugs is the best solution for removing or preventing disease.

Recent breakthroughs in epigenetic research and quantum healing have out-dated these theories as causes of ill health. The body is now recognized to be a complex constellation of interacting systems, requiring a healing approach that takes these various dimensions into account, while seeking total health.

There are 4 main components to health that to consider on your path back to wellness:

• Chemical / Nutritional
• Structural / Physical
• Neuro-Emotional
• Energetic

Each of these must be effectively addressed in order for your body to find it’s way back to health, and hold that health in ongoing positive regard.

Chemical / Nutritional:

This dimension can perhaps best be though of as consisting of two complementary parts: Toxicity and Nutrition.

Toxicity : The Standard American Diet (SAD) has combined with environmental pollutants and record stress levels to create a toxicity epidemic. Your body – in the day-to-day metabolic and physiologic processes of running itself and taking care of itself – produces by-products of cell and organ activity, much like a running car makes exhaust. With clean living, excellent diets, and stress-free living, the body can eliminate these metabolic by-products through the usual paths of elimination (urination, defecation, perspiration and respiration). Over-taxed by stress, poor food choices, and the cumulative effects of time, the body loses the ability to eject its cellular sewage. This muck slowly gunks up the inner workings of tissue layers first, then organs, then organ systems, finally affecting your entire body & causing the “diseases of modern man”. Eating better and using complementary nutrition in a toxic body is a waste of good effort and money. Two cars cannot park in the same spot. Before your body can utilize good nutrition to rebuild healthy tissues, it must first eliminate the toxins and subtle poisons occupying these tissues that are starving for better nutrients. This is why one of the first things we do is to evaluate the level of toxicity your body may have, and start you on a detoxification program immediately. Nearly all the top causes of death and disease can be effectively battled and reversed by clearing the body of excess toxins.

Nutrition : Every person’s nutritional needs are different, depending on a number of factors. We do a comprehensive evaluation to determine what regular foods and (if necessary) dietary supplements are best for your specific situation, and provide you with a sample meal-plan and support to help your body get the building blocks it needs for new, healthy tissues. In a nation of folks slipping away from diseases of excess & obesity, it’s hard to imagine that we may be starving to death. In actuality, there are micronutrients needed by our body that have all but completely dropped out of the mainstream food chain, and must be added to the body for us to achieve optimum health.

Structural / Physical:

We now know as medical, scientific fact that the movement you give – or don’t give – your body can either heal you, or kill you. Part of the path back to health consists of setting you up with a personal exercise program that will fit into your lifestyle. But before you can start this program, we first need to make sure there are no obstructions to training well.

Structural : Every organ in your body – your heart, lung, liver, spleen, stomach, intestines, and even your muscles – receive their operational commands from the central processing machinery of your body, the Nervous System. Your brain “talks” with your body through your nerves, which get to where they are going through the spinal cord and spinal nerves. Small sticky spots in your neck and back, or even misaligned spinal bones, can slow down or stop the two-way messaging going through your nerves. One of the very first things we do is to remove these obstructions to free communication between your body and brain. A very careful and thorough chiropractic, orthopedic, and neurological examination will be performed to determine the exact points where a lack of proper joint motion may be inhibiting nerve flow, so we can gently release these stuck points to improve your body’s ability to talk to itself while creating health. Sometimes, the body may remember old injuries in muscles; we also correct these stiff/sore & adaptively shortened muscles, so your body is able to move freely and naturally during the restoration process.

Physical : Once your body is moving naturally and better able to communicate between brain and body, you will be advised on a physical development program to help tonify your organs, muscles and bones. A healthy framework aids in digestion and elimination, and is linked to the production of healthy brain hormones, contributing to happiness and longevity. Decades of clinical research have demonstrated that strengthening the lower extremities and core musculature are key to aiding the body in maintaining correct anatomical alignment, and hence, health.

Neuro-Emotional:

One of the hardest things for folks to eventually embrace is that thoughts are things. As such, they start chemical cascades throughout the body, influencing the health and strength of your entire body now, and in the years to come (see research on “information substances” and neuropeptides). Insults and injuries that happen to the body, are remembered in the body, and affect the body in how it directs energy to create and maintain health (or not).

To help clear the body of the effects of long-held emotional trauma, we use a technique called NET (Neuro-Emotional Technique); a treatment methodology designed to integrate many well-established disciplines, and allow for the patient/doctor interaction to accurately pinpoint the origins of neuro-emotional traumas. Traumas can leave a residue – or “memory echo” – in the neurophysiology of the body. If the effects of these insults and injuries are not cleared from body memory, precious energy is siphoned away from the healing process, and used to maintain these neuro-emotional complexes. Like a virus, these complexes become self-maintaining and deplete the body’s natural state of health (repetition-compulsion). Resolving the effects of trauma simply requires entering in to the psychoneuroimmunologic (PNI) system with a safe and quick intervention that allows for the extinction of emotionally laden conditioning. We use the TBM-Activator protocol for intervention.

Energetic:

Under the Nixon administration, a bill was passed announcing that electromagnetic pollution had reached serious levels, and posed a public health crisis. Since then, we have increased our exposure to this type of environmental pollution with computers, cell phones, and I-pods, and not decreased it. There are simple measures you can take to minimize the negative effects of energetic pollution to your body that will still allow you to live your life un-edited.

Having reviewed the major components of a healthier you, let’s look at the path to wellness:

1. Detoxify the body and restore proper alignment.
2. Clear the body of residual effects of negative neuro-emotional insults
3. Rebuild the cleared body through exercise and nutrition programs, specifically tailored to your needs to ensure excellent results. Your program is updated as your results improve.
