I recently stumbled upon a startling figure: Americans spent nearly $15 billion on bottled water in 2007, up from $11 billion the year before. That is more than the amount American spent on iPods and movie tickets! Why would American spend so much on something as simple as water.

I recently stumbled upon a startling figure: Americans spent nearly $15 billion on bottled water in 2007, up from $11 billion the year before. That is more than the amount American spent on iPods and movie tickets! Why would American spend so much on something as simple as water. Water is the simplest of beverages and it is delivered to every household in America for one ten thousandth of the cost of bottled water.

Why do Americans continue to purchase more and more wasteful bottled water every year despite bottled water being no safer than tap water? The answer is simple: Marketing.

Water bottles have been showing up more and more in our favorite television programming. Fiji Water frequently appears of the show Brothers & Sisters while Poland Spring water is a common prop on the set of The Office. At Whole Foods, the number one item sold by unit is bottled water, above all other food sold at their supermarkets.

We always hear complaints about the cost of gasoline, but why has bottled water consumption increased so much despite it being 3 to 4 times the cost of gasoline. The intense marketing campaigns of the bottled water corporations have us mindlessly buying water in plastic bottles over and over again. Americans need to realize that we can help the environment and our paychecks by installing in-home water filtration systems, for a fraction of the cost of buying bottled water.

Scott Lloyd's Comments:
The chemicals leached into the bottled water from the plastic are toxic and problematic...tap water is toxic...so, get a filtration system. I bought a system that makes 7 types of water...this system is so great in many ways: it is the greatest health promoting system I could find, it eliminates environmental waste, it saves me thousands of dollars over the course of ten to fifteen years, and it even talks to me : )

AMA Recognizes Chiropractic
By Arno Burnier, D.C.

With the recent recognition of Chiropractic by the American Medical Association, clarification on terminology and purpose is needed. It is my experience that the public is thoroughly confused as to what Chiropractic is and does.

To eliminate any misunderstanding let’s make perfectly clear that Chiropractic and Medicine are two separate and distinct professions.

Medicine deals strictly with sickness and disease whereas Chiropractic deals with the restoration, maintenance and enhancement of health. So at the one end of the spectrum we have Medicine which along with the pharmaceutical companies constitute a sickness and disease management industry. At the other end of the spectrum we have Chiropractic which invests itself exclusively in restoring and maintaining normal function and health.

Medicine care for the ill is based on pathology, medication and surgery. It focuses on ways to either suppress symptoms or to stimulate or inhibit effects.

Chiropractic care is based on health, correction of cause, proper function, purification and cooperation with natural processes.

Where you need to be sick to utilize Medicine, you do not need and preferably you should not be ill to undertake Chiropractic care. Where Medicine studies disease processes. Chiropractic studies health and living processes. Where Medicine is at war to fight, attack, bombard, destroy, and eliminate bacteria, microbe, virus and disease, Chiropractic recognizes that a harmonious symbiotic relationship with our environment is possible, by allowing the body to function properly and adapt within the framework of nature’s laws. Where Medicine fights disease, Chiropractic turns on life.

As much as there is a time and place for Medicine, there is a time and place for Chiropractic. Today Medicine is abused, misused and overused: countless unnecessary surgeries are performed every year and hundredths of thousands of live could be saved by carving out the use of prescription medications and over the counter drugs.Where Medicine shines is in the arena of emergency, first aid and crisis care.

Chiropractic is misused and underused by many as well, frequently used as a last resort when it should be first choice. Common sense dictates that the sequence of care needs to be from the least invasive to the most invasive. So, Chiropractic first, Medicine second and surgery last.

In conclusion both professions are fully separate and distinct in principle, reasoning and method of practice. One is not exclusive of the other.

The American Medical Association - Guilty of Federal Crimes against Chiropractic

"I don't believe in chiropractic"

"I don't like chiropractic, even though I never tried it"

"I am against chiropractic" 


"Chiropractors don't have real schooling" ...

etc. etc. etc.

Did you ever hear these kind of comments from people or physicians?
The sad thing is most people who have a bias against chiropractic have never tried it, really read up on it, or evaluated the philosophy, art and science of chiropractic.  




Did you ever wonder why the undertones of this bias seems to perpetuate in our society? I have friends that practice in Ireland, Italy, Spain, South America and other places overseas. They tell me that the bias seems to be the opposite...chiropractic is highly revered or at least the people are completely open to it.

Most people don't know where this bias came from in our country.  Most people are unaware of the truth about the AMA's conspiracy against chiropractic. Yes, conspiracy...organized medicine spent decades and millions of dollars trying to discredit and destroy chiropractic.  This created a very strong mis-information case against chiropractic before the day and age of the internet and information at our fingertips.  This took place in the day and age when my 'Grandfather would have jumped off a bridge if his medical doctor said so' (well I hope not, don't think he really would have, probably would have come close though).

Here is a summary of the facts about the conspiracy to contain and eliminate the chiropractic profession.

On August 27, 1987, Judge Susan Getzendanner, United States District Judge for the Northern District of Illinois Eastern Division, found the American Medical Association, The American College of Surgeons, and The American College of Radiology, guilty of having conspired to destroy the profession of chiropractic in the United States. In a 101-page opinion, Judge Getzendanner ruled that the American Medical Association and its co-conspirators had violated the Sherman Antitrust Laws of the United States. Evidence at the trial showed that the defendants took active steps, often covert, to undermine chiropractic educational institutions, conceal evidence of the usefulness of chiropractic care, undercut insurance programs for patients of chiropractors, subvert government inquiries into the efficacy of chiropractic, engage in a massive disinformation campaign to discredit and destabilize the chiropractic profession and engage in numerous other activities to maintain a medical physician monopoly over health care in this country.

It is a shame that hundreds of thousands of caring medical doctors and millions of their patients were deceived by the AMA. This deception perpetuated ideas and concepts against chiropractic founded on dogma, not science, not clinical outcomes...not results... it stemmed from criminal corruption.


The fact is that chiropractic care is so great, powerful, and helpful for people that the AMA felt threatened.

Happy reading!


...and next time you hear someone who is biased against chiropractic you can say to them..."really, can I get a copy of that? I would like to read the science that supports your statement." or you can say..."Hello it is not the dark ages, get with the times" or you can say..."let me take you to my chiropracTOR, it is my treat, I promise you will love it!"

Five Core Principles for Your Health and Well-Being

1. You are more than your physical body. Your physical body is the temple of your spirit...the vehicle you have been given, in which you experience and express your true purpose and full potential in life.  You are a unique divine intelligent creation – a loving energetic being – there is intelligent miraculous Life Energy inside of you that is designed to help you be your best.

2. Life is a continuous process. Everything in life is constantly changing, including your body. In every moment you are either growing stronger or weaker. In every moment you are either moving towards greater levels of health, wellness, and wholeness or away from health, wellness, and wholeness.

3. The strength of your body at any given moment is determined by how fully you are expressing your Life Energy. Maximizing the expression of your Life Energy in your body automatically brings increased levels of health and so much more.

4. Three things are necessary to maximize the expression of your life energy in your body and keep you growing stronger. These three things are: a positive mental focus, a healthy lifestyle, and clear neurological connections between your brain and body.

5. A spine that is functioning properly (aligned and moving well) is necessary to maintain clear neurological connections and a free flow of life energy in your body.


The purpose of chiropractic care is to help you maximize the expression of your life energy in your body.

Cultural Doubt and Unbelief Needs to be Shattered

I was reflecting on the intentions I have, in regards to my ChiropracTIC career.  I am leading as many people as possible to higher levels of health and well-being through chiropracTIC and sharing the truth about health, healing and well-being. These intentions are not so easy to attain. For a few underlying reasons there is a tremendous amount of doubt and unbelief about what chiropracTIC is and does. My level of passion and commitment to the community is high, however, much bias and cultural hypnosis exists.

After reflecting on this I have realized a unique thing about people this day and age. It is an abnormally high level of doubt and unbelief that high levels of health and well-being are obtainable.  People have lost the understanding that health is our natural state. Also, there is an unusual amount of cynicism towards health, healing, and well-being.

People seem to be clueless that they were born to be healthy and vibrant. They really are being led to believe that their bodies are weak and broken, life is sickness, and that they will most likely crawl into the grave after suffering some life robbing illness. That’s the way they see most other people going, so they don’t expect anything else. Not only do they expect nothing better but … they do nothing to change the ‘normal’ path to sickness, degenerative disease and death.

This has caused me to realize the seriousness of my work – literally - people are dying because of faulty beliefs about how the body works, how health is cultivated, and what healing is! No Joke, most people are slowly ‘wilting and withering’ over time into a sickly state and continue to get worse over time. This kind of living robs most people of the quality of life they deserve and moreover puts them to any early death. ChiropracTIC offers a ABOVE DOWN INSIDE OUT PHILOSOPHY that allows anyone to choose a paradigm of Vitalistic Living as a solution to health and well-being!  People need to hear it this! The cultural hypnosis, cynicism, doubt and unbelief needs to be broken by the truth. It needs to be shattered by changed lives, restored health, and vibrant living.

I am ensuring you that I am committed to helping people get a higher quality of life that is healthy and vibrant! I am even expecting that YOU will pick up the ball and work with me to break through the attitudes that are killing people (killing most people slowly and steadily -- Chronic Degenerative Disease).

There is a reason that our country spends the most on ‘health’ care yet ranks 37th in overall health performance. The current mindset of doubt and unbelief about health and healing has become a cultural paradigm towards health and 'health care' that is really 'sick care'.  This 'sick care' model is perpetuated by the pharmaceutical industry which advertises to the general public by the tune of over 19 million dollars a day, along with the pharmaceutical reps educating and influencing medical doctors about the ‘benefits’ of their drugs (through sloppy science that gives relative data, not absolute data).

For the record, of course drugs and surgery are necessary and valuable and have a absolute place in helping people...i.e., in crisis, first aid, emergency, traumas etc... however, the current way drugs and surgery are practiced in our society is a major problem..it is out of control. For instance, What drug or surgery is going to cure a sickness or disease that results from vertebral subluxation? What drug or surgery is going to cure a sickness or disease that results from being deficient in nutrition?  What drug or surgery is going to cure  a sickness or disease that results from not exercising?  What drug or surgery is going to cure a sickness or disease that results from chronic emotional stressors?

Your family, your neighbors, your co-workers and your friends all need to be lead to higher levels of health. Let’s commit to showing them the love and encouragement necessary so they give up their old beliefs that are not working and open up to a new and better life. Transformation is possible!  Let’s help people get well and stay well!

Whatever needs to be done, to get the people in our community under regular chiropracTIC care and Above Down Inside Out lifestyle wellness education…let’s do it.  Their life, in this life, depends on it. My intention is to help as many people as possible live a life with higher levels of health and well-being, and to do that I need your help too! Keep encouraging your friends and family and together we will see attitudes and lives transformed!

God Bless!

Three R's

Kevin Donka and I were talking on a coaching call and he shared the concept of the three R's. I thought how simple and profound the three R's are. So here it is: Restore, Reestablish, and Resume.

Consistent ongoing chiropractic care restores spinal function, which will reestablish the connection between you and your body, so the body can resume healing.

Cleansing and The Master Cleanse

Cleansing is a great part of any health promoting lifestyle. To start, pick a day and eat only raw local grown organic fruits and vegetables...this will be cleansing. Then pick a few days or even a week and do the same. From here you can move on to juicing, pick a day and juice raw local grown organic fruits and vegetables...this is cleansing. Then pick a few days or even a week and do the same.

Some points of information:
Use greens when juicing: kale, swiss chard, mustard greens, parsley, beet greens, etc.
Those with blood sugar challenges will usually do fine with the 'liquid food' cleanse.  If not, eat a teaspoon to 2 tablespoons of avacado with each serving of 'liquid food'.
Below is a cleanse I do twice a year.  It is a very easy cleanse to do, because you can make everything you need in the morning, and take it with you all day long (see bottom of this blog for details), and it will satisfy your physical appetite...it will fill you up if you try to drink a gallon a day (most people find impossible to get in a whole gallon a day...they are too full)

THE MASTER CLEANSE OR LEMONADE DIET

for the whole book in pdf format click here: http://www.blackdoctor.org/TheMasterCleanse.pdf

Purpose:
To dissolve and eliminate toxins and congestion that have formed in the body.
To cleanse the kidneys and the digestive system.
To purify the glands and cells throughout the entire body.
To eliminate all unusable waste and hardened material in the joints and muscles.
To relieve pressure and irritation in the nerves, arteries, and blood vessels.
To build a healthy blood stream.
To keep youth and elasticity regardless of our years.

WHEN TO USE IT?
When sickness has developed— for all acute and chronic conditions.
When the digestive system needs a rest and a cleansing.
When overweight has become a problem.
When better assimilation and building of body tissue is needed.

AND HOW OFTEN?
Follow the diet for a minimum of 10 days or more— up to 40 days and beyond may be safely followed for extremely serious cases. The diet has all the nutrition needed during this time. Three to four times a year will do wonders for keeping the body in a normal healthy condition. The diet may be undertaken more frequently for serious conditions.

HOW TO MAKE IT?
One serving:
-2 Tablespoons juice from fresh organic from lemons
-2 Tablespoons organic grade b 100% maple syrup
-1/10 Teaspoon(400 mg) cayenne pepper (40,000 heat units or more, buy capsules-open them up)
-10 oz purified water, room temp, (purified water or distilled—distilled is best for this cleanse)

One quart:
You can combine 3 servings: (juice, maple syrup, water and cayenne pepper) in a glass quart jar (30oz of the drink). Shake it up and drink. (Cold water may be used if preferred.) Must use glass!!! Plastic will leach harmful toxins.

*(you can use a product called cool cayenne if needed)

HOW MUCH DOES ONE DRINK?
Take six to twelve servings of the lemonade drink daily during the waking period (at least six). Drink one glass at least every hour and a half for best results. As you get hungry just have another serving of the lemonade drink. NO OTHER FOOD SHOULD BE TAKEN DURING THE FULL PERIOD OF THE DIET. As this is a complete balance of minerals and vitamins, one does not suffer the pangs of hunger. Do not use vitamin pills. All solid food is turned into a liquid state before the blood can carry it to the cells. The lemonade is already a food in liquid form. For those who are overweight, less maple syrup may be taken. For those underweight, more maple syrup may be taken. For those who are underweight and worried about losing more weight, REMEMBER, the only things you can possible lose are mucus; waste, and disease. Healthy tissue will not be eliminated. Many people who need to gain weight actually do so near the end of the diet period. Never vary the amount of lemon juice per serving. About six servings of lemonade a day is enough for those wishing to reduce. Extra water may be taken as desired.

ELIMINATING
As this is a cleansing diet, the more you can assist Nature to eliminate poisons, the better. IF YOUR SYSTEM FEELS UPSET, IT IS BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT HAVING SUFFICIENT ELIMINATION. Avoid this possibility by following these directions completely (laxative tea and salt water cleanse-see next page). Above all, be sure you have two, three, or more movements a day. This may seem unnecessary not eating solid food, but it is Nature’s way of eliminating the waste it has loosened from the various cells and organs in the body. They must leave the body some way. It would be just the same as sweeping the floor around and around and never removing the dirt from the house if the wastes were not passed out. The better the elimination, the more rapid will be the results.
-A LAXATIVE HERB TEA is found to be the best helper for most persons. It is a good practice to take a good laxative herb tea right from the beginning— the last thing at night and first thing in the morning. There are several good laxative teas. They are best taken in a liquid form. Buy them in your health food store.
-INTERNAL SALT WATER BATHING
As it is necessary to bathe the outside of our bodies, so it is with the inside. Do not take enemas or colonics at any time during the cleansing diet or afterwards. They are unnecessary and can be extremely harmful. There is a much superior method of cleansing the colonic tract without the harmful effects of customary colonics and enemas. This method will cleanse the entire digestive tract while the colonics and enemas will only reach the colon or a small part of it. Colonics can be expensive while our salt-water method is not. DIRECTIONS: Prepare a full quart of lukewarm water and add two level teaspoons of uniodized sea salt. Do not use ordinary iodized salt, as it will not work properly. Drink the entire quart of salt and water first thing in the morning. This must be taken on an empty stomach (you can lick a cut lemon to make your taste buds tart, then drink the salt water - this is a trick that makes it a lot easier to drink the salt water). The salt and water will not separate but will stay intact and quickly and thoroughly wash the entire tract in about one hour. Several eliminations will likely occur. The salt water has the same specific gravity as the blood, hence the kidneys cannot pick up the water and the blood cannot pick up the salt. This may be taken as often as needed for proper washing of the entire digestive system. If the salt water does not work the first time, try adding a little more or a little less salt until the proper balance is found; or possible take extra water with or without salt. This often increases the activity. Remember, it can do no harm at any time. The colon needs a good washing, but do it the natural way—the salt water way. It is quite advisable to take the herb laxative tea at night to loosen, then the salt water each morning to wash it out. If for some reason the salt water cannot be taken in the morning, then the herb laxative tea must be taken night and morning.

REMEMBER THESE MUSTS:
-You must use all organic ingredients!!! 
-You must use purified water (distilled, reverse osmosis, or KDF w Carbon is also good), I use kangen water 8.5 for my mixture. 
-You must use glass containers (mason jars are good). 
-You must drink at least six servings of the lemonade drink a day (6 to 12 servings a day). 
-You must eliminate 2 or more times a day, by the aid of laxative teas and the salt water flush. 
-You must also drink additional purified water throughout the day (www.newlifewater.info) drink 6 to 12 glasses (8oz).

If you follow all these steps you are going to have a successful cleanse, and will do a world of difference to help clean out and rebuild your body.

Lastly, a quick and easy way to make the drink each morning:
--Start with a gallon jug, I bought an amber gallon jug (amber blocks light)  http://www.sks-bottle.com/340c/fin1d.html , or you can buy a gallon jug of wine and dump it out, clean the bottle and you are ready to go.
--Juice 6 organic lemons in a juicer, put in gallon jug
--Put 4.5-9oz of maple syrup in a measuring cup (1tbs=1/2oz), as stated above if you desire more weight loss you may cut back to 1tbs per serving, and for our purposes with a gallon jug, we are getting 9 servings total...pour maple syrup in gallon jug
--Take 5-10 capsules of cayenne, depending on preference (remember you can use cool cayenne too). I use natural factors cayenne, because my friend Pete at Natures Nutrition always has it.  I break the capsules open and put in gallon jug.
--Fill the rest of the jug with purified water.  Now you have 9 servings for the whole day!!! Shake well before each use.

So, there you have it.

Your Invitation

Your Invitation:

There is only one way to get well, and that is healing. Treating and healing are very different. The goal of treatment is to make a symptom go away or feel better. The goal of healing is to have the body replace sick/injured/diseased cells with healthy cells. Healing is done through the law of cellular replacement...to get the sick cells to be replaced by healthy cells.

So, the focus in healing is not so much "how can I feel better", rather it is how can I get my cells healthier.

We are designed to be self regulating, self healing, and self repairing...the healing power is already in us. The healing power that is life activates our DNA to express helath. The problem is that we live so far from what we need genetically in terms of eating, exercise, and thinking that we are slowly destroying ourselves through time. Now is the time to get your life back!!!

anyway,
If you want, I have a proposition for you. I am looking for people with health challenges, diseases, sicknesses, etc to participate in a program. The program trial is 6 months long. I am going to exchange my services and time with the participants for the consent to use their testimonials about the program in promotions, marketing etc. I need willing people to consider participating in this program. You see, the big picture is this: If God is calling me to help people, and I know God is, then people need to know they can be helped. This is a way to show people it can be done. And the end result is that many people in the future will get their physical-mental-emotional life back, through a ministry that is built on God's design, which will bring glory to God.

I am confident that I can help you get your physical-mental-emotional life back. Would you consider praying about this and let me know what God speaks to you.

many blessings
scott

Free Yourself from the 'Treatment Merry Go Round'

I am confident and know my expertise, which is healing, and I am here to serve others with love, education and skillful service.

There seems to be a wonderful awareness that the model of 'Health Care' is actually Sick Care.  The current 'Health Care' system is an allopathic medical care system that is wonderful for emergency and crisis interventions. It saves lives!!! It is also great for buying time and helping people who need some assistance dealing with a symptom or 'disease process'. Sick care saves lives everyday in emergency situations.  Sick care is amazing in acute injuries and first aid scenarios.  Sick care helps in crisis, emergencies, acute injuries, etc.  However, Sick Care has failed miserably when it comes to health.  Chronic disease has risen dramatically in the last 70 years (per capita) even though our genes have not changed at all, and despite more drugs and surgery (per capita) being used each and every year.  The sick care model has failed to address our health.  People are realizing that they want to get out of Sick Care and into real Health Care. Actually, as mentioned earlier, there is a place for both types of care in your life, and knowing how and when to apply the appropriate type of care for the desired outcome you want is vital.


What about Health Care? What about healing, health, wellness, and wholeness? What about creating health in your body?

The chronic degenerative diseases that the modern world is plagued with is ridiculous!!! Our current 'health care' system here in the states is a failed system when it comes to health performance and quality of life. Read the reports; we spend more than any other country, have the best technology, the best drugs, the best surgeons etc etc etc ... yet we rate 37th in overall health performance http://www.photius.com/rankings/healthranks.html. Moreover, statistically speaking each person is disabled in some form or another by the age of 63.

There is a point in time when a person reaches enough awareness that they will want something better...and that is when the treatment merry go round will be over. Is this you? perhaps you have experienced or are experiencing right now the treatment merry go round; you have some problem and get treatment, then you have another problem and get another treatment, then you have another problem and get treatment and then another and so on and so on.  You go round and round and never seem to ever get in a good state of health. You can choose to get off the Treatment Merry Go Round.  This blog post is designed to guide you so that you have the confidence to get well and stay well.  

I do believe wholeheartedly that you can heal, get well and stay well.  You will be able to stay away from the 'merry go round' of treatment to treatment to treatment... Free yourself from the treatment 'merry go round' and get well.  

Let's get started!!! 

Remember, your body is made up of cells...cells make tissues...tissues make organs...and organs make systems. Your cells each have a lifespan rate; which means the 'stuff' in a cell and the whole cell itself will die off and be replaced by new cell 'stuff' and new cells in it's place. For example, your skin cells take around 5 to 7 days to cycle...your muscles, ligaments, and tendons about 4 to 6 weeks (that is why when someone sprains their ankle it is usually about 4-6 weeks before they are back to 'normal' when just resting)...your entire skeleton can take up to 36 months! http://www.hu.liu.se/ike/klinisk_kemi2/magnusson.

The good news is that most of your cells are replaced within a year!!! So, you can rebuild a new you within a year : )

When your cells are replaced with new cells there are basically three ways that this process can happen. The cells will either be replaced by cells which are 1) worse, 2) the same, or 3) better. All healing is done by replacing 'sick', injured, stressed, or 'diseased' cells with healthy cells (better cells).

So, you may ask, how can I get my cells to be replaced by better cells? 

That is the million dollar question my friend. You will read below the best way I have found to do this. I challenge anyone to put this to the test for 6 months to a year. Prove it wrong. If you genuinely do this with an open mind, I bet you will be forever grateful.

If you really be and do the following; your cells will get well and stay well:

1) Move Well:
----Work on 'stretching' and joint mobility, joint integrity, strength, etc... by following one of these programs/books:
- Core Performance: core performance book
- Todd Durkin's IMPACT Body Plan: Impact Body Plan Book
-Innate Physical Fitness and Spinal Hygiene by James Chestnut http://www.thewellnesspractice.com/
-Ageless Mobility by Scott Sonnon http://www.agelessmobility.com/ ....
-Pain Free by Pete Egoscue http://www.egoscue.com/
-The Genius of Flexibility by Bob Cooley http://www.meridianstretching.com/ 
-Specific Stretching for Everyone by Aaron Mattes http://www.stretchingusa.com/ 

---- Receive ongoing chiropractic care from a wellness chiropractor, so that your spine moves well (call me to help screen people in your area)

----strengthen your body with functional full body movements.  The two books above, core performance and IMPACT, will cover everything you need to know about moving well.  Do calisthenics, functional training, WholyFit, Slo Flow, yoga, tai chi and pilate type of exercises, I do Matt Jennings Boot Camps *** the Best!...

----walk, swim, cycle, jog, interval train...get moving
 
2) Eat Well:
- eat 50% raw local organic fruits and vegetables (50% volume of food)

-add these supplements from innate choice - foundational supplements -  (fish 
oil, probiotics, Organic Sufficiency, A and D)  http://www.innatechoice.com/

- get a juicer or a vitamix and juice raw organic fruits and vegetables (organic local farms preferred, and juice reds, greens, yellows, and orange (color spectrum))

- drink 2-3liters of kangen water a day http://www.newlifewater.com/

- eat organic free range grass fed meats (local farms preferred) or http://www.uswellnessmeats.com/

- do a cleanse twice a year 

- my favorite books on the subject are The Innate Diet and  The Paleo Answer 

3) Think Well:
---- think more and more loving thoughts of connection - joy - gratitude - and embrace life with love

---- start a gratitude journal. record each day what you are grateful for

---- reprogram your brain:
-The Biology of Belief by Bruce Lipton http://www.brucelipton.com/ 
-Evolve Your Brain by Joe Dispenza http://www.drjoedispenza.com/ 
-renew your mind daily http://scottlloyd.blogspot.com/2008/05/scriptural-prayers-of-affirmation.html

4) Optimize your Life/Nerve Energy:
- keep a clear and fully connected nerve system that integrates and processes all of your life with efficiency, precision, and ease by receiving ongoing chiropractic care from a principled chiropracTOR http://www.thewellnesspractice.com/products/14_foundational_premises.cfm 
this is the MOST underlooked area of peoples health!  How great can nutrition work in the body if there is interference in the nerve system coordinating digestion and assimilation? ChiropracTIC is about Human Performance and Optimal Function... (call me if you would like me to screen the chiropractors in your area) please read this for further explanation: Spinal Hygiene..."All Systems Go!"

5) Spiritual Connection:
- recognize and grow your spiritual connection. Have a living relationship with God that is ongoing and 'talk' with God daily; pray and meditate. 

6) Rest Properly:
- allow yourself to sleep well supported, with sufficient amounts of rest

7) Create loving nurturing relationships:
- healthy interaction with others 
 
8) Have FUN!:
-Laugh and have a Joyful Heart 
 
- make time to be creative and let inspiration flow...allow yourself to imagine opportunity and possibility...work on a project for fun

- make time for recreation...enjoy participating in your favorite hobbies and activities...take a vacation 


I also incorporate in my life ongoing Bodywork (massage) - from the standpoint of function in the body vs treatment of some sort of symptom....massage for the purpose of clearing out any muscle and fascial restrictions, so that you function better.  I do what I do because I want my 'system' to function better, which leads to optimal function in my body and mind...and that is true health!

Lastly, and most importantly KNOW THYSELF. Know your identity, the real you inside your body-mind. The core of you, the essence, the divine power that took a sperm and an egg from your mother and father and created you! I am a Christian, we call this Spirit, and specifically being in the Spirit of Christ in God the Father allowing the Holy Spirit to move in my life!  We are Spiritual Beings having a Human Experience...our Body-Mind is a Vehicle that carries our Spirit, what kind of vehicle do you want?  A broken down junker or a fine tuned beauty?


When you apply all the things written about in this post, and when you be these things... YOU WILL HEAL!!! It takes time and it takes work. If you do these things everyday, every week, and make this your lifestyle, YOU WILL HEAL!!!

The Trick: is to only focus on adding good stuff into your lifestyle.  Instead of eliminating things you crave or enjoy, only add good stuff...example: eat raw vegetables with every meal instead of eliminating the donuts or ice cream or chips or cookies or soda.  Focus only on adding good stuff in, and through time your cravings will slowly change.  Make this a year project, and go slow and steady.  Pick one thing a month to focus on.  Each month add a new thing into your lifestyle and by the end of the year you will have 12 new things working for your increased health and well being!  For example: 1st month - chiropractic, 2nd - a cup of raw vegetables with every meal, 3rd - start core performance or IMPACT, 4th - pray and meditate, 5th - commit to taking time for a hobby, 6th - juice or vita mix the color spectrum (red, green, yellow, orange, purple, blue), 7th - start a gratitude journal, 8th - focus on communicating something loving to each of your loved ones, 9th - probiotics, 10th - do a cleanse, 11th - Foam Roll (self myo-fascial release, in both books-core performance and IMPACT), 12th - make sure you are getting proper rest.  Now in now way is this intended as a must do in this order...create your own 12 month plan.  Start with something easy and build up each month!  Remember the trick is adding good things, focusing on putting good into the 'system'!!!


Lastly, healing and treatment are different. Healing, regaining your health and well-being is a process and takes time. Once you heal and regain your health, keeping yourself well is a lifestyle,  a being-ness that motivates the doing-ness that continues keeping yourself healthy and strong. You can do it, this is a reality for you.

many blessings,

Alkalizing

-


Alkalize and Energize!!! 

Raw green leafy vegetables are excellent for alkalizing!  Start with one cup of vegetables a day.  After a month, increase to two cups a day, then in another month increase to three cups a day and so on...within 6 to 10 months you will be eating 6 to 10 cups a day.  6 to 10 cups a day of raw vegetables will not only build alkaline reserves...you will have a lot more energy and better health from the inside out!  Good nutrition helps every cell in your body work better!!!

The importance of PH:

Blood pH

pH (potential of hydrogen) is a measure of the acidity or alkalinity of a solution. It is measured on a scale of 0 to 14—the lower the pH the more acidic the solution, the higher the pH the more alkaline (or base) the solution.

When a solution is neither acid nor alkaline it has a pH of 7 which is neutral. A healthy pH of 7.4 - 7.5 is desirable. When healthy, the pH of blood is 7.4, the pH of spinal fluid is 7.4, and the pH of saliva is 7.4. The pH of saliva parallels the extra cellular fluid... pH test of saliva represents the most consistent and most definitive physical sign of the ionic calcium deficiency syndrome.
It is important to understand that we are not talking about stomach acid or the pH of the stomach. We are talking about the pH of the body's fluids and tissues which is an entirely different matter.

Alkaline and Acid Forming Foods

The body needs both types of foods. However alkaline forming food should predominate over acid forming ones. Everyone is different, but for most, the ideal diet is 75 percent alkalizing and 25 percent acidifying foods by volume.

Acid forming foods meat, sugars, eggs and dairy and most grains, white flour and carbonated beverages are acid forming. Drugs are acid forming. Artificial chemical sweetener's like NutraSweet, Equal, or Aspartame, are extremely acid-forming.
Over acidity, which can become a dangerous condition that weakens all body systems, is very common today. It gives rise to an internal environment conducive to disease, as opposed to a pH-balanced environment which allows normal body function necessary for the body to resist disease. A healthy body maintains adequate alkaline reserves (Electrolytes) to meet emergency demands. When excess acids must be neutralized our alkaline reserves are depleted leaving the body in a weakened condition.

This condition forces the body to borrow the (Electrolyte) minerals-including calcium, sodium, potassium and magnesium-from vital organs and bones to buffer (neutralize) the acid and safely remove it from the body. Because of this strain, the body can suffer severe and prolonged damage due to high acidity, a condition that may go undetected for years.

Acid forming foods rob your body of critical electrolytes (calcium, magnesium, sodium, potassium). These nutrients are critical for neutralizing acids. Only fresh fruits and vegetables are alkaline producing to help your body maintain a healthy pH balance.
Studies have consistently shown that heavy consumers of soft drinks (with or without sugar) lose huge amounts of calcium, magnesium, and other trace minerals into their urine. The more mineral loss, the greater the risk for osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, hypothyroidism, coronary artery disease, high blood pressure, and a long list of degenerative diseases.

Don't Be Fooled

The foods we eat are digested and they break down into either an acid or an alkaline end-product in our tissues. This end-product is called the "ash" and is what remains in the body after the food has been broken down. Foods that produce an alkaline ash are called "alkaline forming food" whereas those producing acid ash are called "acid-forming" foods.

Important

A food's acid or alkaline-forming tendency in the body has nothing to do with the actual pH of the food itself. For example: Though lemons, limes, and grapefruits are chemically acid, tests show that when they are metabolized in the body they actually have an alkalizing effect and are very beneficial. They are very mineral rich which causes an overall net effect of alkalinity when broken down in the body. They have very little sugar. And they contain an abundance of oxygen. Lemons are said to be the richest source of minerals and vitamins of any food or foods known to man.

Likewise, meat will test alkaline before digestion but it leaves very acidic residue in the body so, like nearly all animal products, meat is very acid-forming. Acid forming foods such as (meats, eggs, diary, white sugar and white flour, carbonated beverages and artificial chemical sweetener's like NutraSweet, Equal, or Aspartame) should be limited. Of course, you would do better with the least amount of meat and no milk products as they are very productive of mucus and hinder digestion and absorption of nutrients.

The internal balance of your pH is very important, unfortunately few medical practitioners in western medicine are aware of the major role it plays in causing diseases. Fresh organic fruits and vegetables are alkaline forming in the body and contain many electrolyte minerals that help to maintain a healthy pH balance of 7.4 and a reserve of critical electrolytes.

Alkalizing

alkalizing the body fluids (raising pH) is one of the single most important health regeneration benefits available as disease causing microforms (fungi, bacteria, virus etc.) cannot survive in an alkaline oxygenated environment.

The Grow Light

How are you growing through Life?

“Life always changing, ...it’s dynamic, ...the cells in your body are replacing themselves constantly, …you are never the same ‘you’, because you are constantly changing...the cells in your body have life spans...cells are always dying and being replaced by new cells...you are literally constantly growing and dying on the inside...the trick to health is to grow better”. These statements I seem to share often with the people I serve in my chiropractic practice Cafe of Life.

Did you ever stop to think about how amazing your body is? 50,000 of the cells in your body will die and be replaced with new cells, all while you have been reading this sentence! In 1 square inch of skin there lie 4 yards of nerve fibers, 1300 nerve cells, 100 sweat glands, 3 million cells, and 3 yards of blood vessels. Nerve impulses between the body and brain can travel as fast as 286 miles per hour. One human brain generates more electrical impulses in a single day than all of the world's telephones put together.

Wow, we are truly magnificent, and life is completely amazing. What is this wonderful and mysterious thing we call life? Well, one thing we know is that the life inside of us shows up as electrical energy in our nerve system. You see, the difference between a dead or alive person is the absence or presence of electrical energy in the nerve system.  For instance, if I was to pass away from a natural cause - my corpse would have all the right parts, and all the right chemicals for life, but it wouldn't have LIFE inside of it. As stated before, the difference between someone alive and someone dead is the electrical energy that travels over the nerve system, and it’s this energy in the nerve system that gives power and function to the body. All of the amazing and wonderful things your body does are regulated by this energy in your brain and nerve system. This is why I call brain and nerve energy – Life Energy.

The nerve energy in your body is what is used to give life to each and every cell of your body. Your nerve energy is responsible for growing, healing, repairing, and coordinating all function in your cells. The nerve energy in your body is like a grow light. Think of an indoor garden with grow lights. If the light is full and in the proper amount, the plants will grow well (with good soil (food) and water of course). If the lights are shut off, the plants will wither and die. If the lights are too intense, the plants will eventually burn out and die. What if the lights are dimmed? The plants will wither, become weak and unhealthy. Well, this same thing is what often happens in people. Our nerve energy can be dimmed or over produced, and over time, weaken and get unhealthy. This is why chiropractic care is so important, because it helps turn on the nerve energy in the full and proper amounts to every part of the body. And when your nerve energy is working best, you are at your best.

The major reason I work with the spine as a chiropractor is because I am interested in the nerve energy. Your spine affects your nerve energy and your nerve energy affects your life. Everything you think, say, or do is perceived and carried out through your nerve system - everything. Your nerve energy controls your heart, lungs, kidneys, brain, muscles, eyes...everything. Simply put, better nerve energy creates a better life. This is why using chiropractic care as a lifestyle choice for better health and well being is so much more exciting, fun, and powerful than just using it for pain relief. Find a chiropractor who promotes wellness and get yourself adjusted regularly to keep the grow lights inside you working for your best life now!

(this is a simple analogy used to relate non-chiropractors to the concept of subluxation. for detailed neurophysiological function of the spine and nerve system read The Science and Logic of Chiropractic by Verner and/or The 14 Foundational Premises TM for the Scientific and Philosophical Validation of the Chiropractic Wellness Paradigm by Chestnut)
