CHIROPRACTIC IS NOT "ALTERNATIVE" - CHIROPRACTIC IS THE LEADING PATHWAY TO TRUE HEALTH
when I often talk about chiropractic with others, the responses are fantastic. Many agree and accept the ideas I share - yet, they don't live it. They want health, but they don't live it. Mainly because we are stuck in a traditional way of healthcare and don't understand that there is a different way. They feel they need a pill to save them - this is completely false. We've been so use to the way things have been, we fail to see where we are actually standing and where we are actually headed. Some fault is due to ourselves not taking on our full responsibility and sometimes just letting others make the decisions for us. how many are just standing by watching while Mansanto continues to alter our foods and take over every crop in this country which can have drastic health implications, and the government supporting this Big Business and protects them from any lawsuit of wrong doing? We just watch and let it happen. Some of the blame is on the lies that can easily become overwhelming and difficult to sift through to find the nuggets of truth. It can be frustrating. But it is important to take a look at where we are now and what chiropractic can offer to be that leading pathway it has quietly been for over 100 years. These are the 44 paradigms we must understand and embrace -

I thought this list was pretty amazing and insightful. Some are a little repetitive, but each one gives a more unique perspective between where we stand now and what chiropractic can offer. And of course we can look down that second list and say of course that's what we want. But do we live it? Do we really believe it? We can say we want it all we want - but the next moment we find ourselves back in the hospital, taking pills, getting shots and we continue to find ourselves back on the first list - only avoiding disease, not promoting life. When are we going to realize there's so much more? When are we going to realize we are standing on the wrong side of health? The medical field is amazing with all the life saving procedures that they can do. The medical field is exceptional at emergency cases. Health however, is not an emergency. Health is every day. Health is life. Health is what you make it, and the fact that we are spending so much money on healthcare and spending our time at the hospitals shows that we have BAD HEALTH - because we are in a system that doesn't understand or promote life and healing. We are in a system where we don't become well - we become a disease, a victim, a statistic.
Again, this list is pretty remarkable. There are several points on that list I wish I could take the time and go more in depth. I think number 18, 19, 22, and 43 summarize it up pretty well. It pretty much comes down to this. These points simply state that disease is a presence and one is ill because they have the disease and so the focus becomes to treat for the disease that person has. What is offered as treatment? Drugs, pills, shots, surgeries - external, chemical, unnatural interventions. This is what we are used to - this is the way we live, the way we've grown to expect, the inevitable at some point. But it doesn't have to be that way. Lets shift our minds and embrace life. Disease is not a presence. Disease is an absence. What does this mean? It means that one become diseased because there is a lack of connection. There is a disconnect in the body. The wisdom of the body is interfered with. And one is not ill because they have a disease - rather they are diseased because they are not well. Disease is a manifestation of the disconnect and deficiency in the body. The focus now is on the person - not the disease. Correct the disconnect - treat the body - allow the body to heal. And how do we treat this? Through adjustments, removing interference, through proper nutrition - internal, molecular, natural. Isn't it amazing? Do we truly understand the potential of our health, and of ourselves? Do we really believe it? Chiropractic is leading the way in true healthcare - Lets embrace these ideas and share them to make a difference in our lives. We are all empowered within to do great things
