The Radical Truth About Healing

M_Norton_NL

If you want to stay or get well, now is absolutely the time for you to open your mind and embrace a new paradigm of health and healing.

Do you need prescription "fixes" for your "conditions" or do you need to be released from the blockages that interfere with your natural state of wholeness? The great physiologist Walter Cannon stated that there is a wisdom in your body that regulates your inborn body, mind, and spirit integrity. It sustains that integrity as long as there is no interference that overwhelms it.

Your factory settings naturally allow for a smooth flow of energy and information throughout your body that optimizes your peak body, mind and spirit performance.

What can block this flow, what do your emotions have to do with it, and how is research revealing chiropractic to be a powerful contributor to your healing?

I will use Parkinson's disease and Multiple Sclerosis as examples of an ever-expanding catalog of diseases with intertwined connections between your emotions, immune system, nervous system, spine and chiropractic.

Many researches have confirmed a connection between head/neck trauma (including whiplash), which may act as a trigger, and the later development of PD and MS.

A five-year study published in August 2004 in the Journal of Vertebral Subluxation Research (www.jvsr.com) looked at eighty-one patients divided equally between these diseases. Seventy-eight of the patients recalled at least one head or neck trauma prior to disease onset. Neck subluxations (misalignments with nervous system interference) were verified in all eighty-one patients utilizing precision x-ray and computerized thermal studies.

Advanced non-manipulative adjustments were provided to correct the subluxations. 91% of MS and 92% of PD cases showed symptomatic improvement and no further disease progression. Some cases have demonstrated disease reversal including marked reduction of MS brain plaques.

There appears to be a causal link between neck trauma, resultant subluxations and the later development of MS and PD. Correction of the subluxations resulted in powerful life-enhancing healing.

Ongoing negative stress from an uncorrected physical trauma or persistent mental/emotional disturbance have proven to compromise critical immune system protection. Abundant research continues to demonstrate a powerful connection linking your mind and emotions to your nervous system and immune system function.

Gabor Mate M.D., in his powerful book, When the Body Says No, discusses the connection between the chronic stress of blocked repressed emotions (esp. anger),nervous system dysfunction, and immune system alteration in both PD and MS.

The studies of psycho-emotional origin cited by Dr. Mate and the 81patient chiropractic study on neck trauma origin point to the same end result of chronic physiological distress in both diseases. Correction of the spine-induced nervous system condition (subluxation) powerfully altered their course.

The radical truth about healing is that all of us to some degree will develop blockages to critical self-healing functions due to life's overwhelming stresses. Some will originate in the body and others in the mind and emotions. If left undetected and uncorrected pain and disease will eventually arise and it will often develop quietly beneath our radar screen of our attention.

The chiropractic subluxation is the nervous system expression of this overwhelm state. It is often a first clue prior to any pain or illness. It is the cavity (often painless for a long time) before an abscess requires a root canal or extraction.

You would be better served by not waiting until back or neck pain or headaches to get a checkup. You would be better served by not waiting for Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson's or some other disease to reveal your nervous system stress blockages and your need for chiropractic care! When will it be too late to save a tooth? When will it be too late to save a spinal disc or your health or your life?
