Do You Break the Rules?

Turns out, the quality of our health is the result of a set of very simple rules. Play by the rules and you have the best chance for optimum health. Break the rules and you'll pay for it.

1. You shall breathe. If you stop breathing, breathe in a shallow manner or inhale pollutants, you will pay a price.

2. You shall ingest nutrition. Nutrition is the raw materials needed to fuel, grow and repair your body.

3. You shall expel wastes. What goes in, must come out. If it comes out too quickly you'll suffer. If it takes too long to come out you'll suffer.

4. You shall hydrate. We're mostly water. Drink enough fluids.

5. You shall move. A sedentary lifestyle causes stagnation, poor circulation and hampers the function of the lymphatic system.

6. You shall rest. Your body needs time to renew, refresh and repair. This is done largely at night while enjoying restful sleep.

7. You shall adapt to your environment. Your nervous system orchestrates every cell and tissue.

8. You shall love. Love your Maker. Love yourself. Love others. The more you give away the more you've got.

9. You shall forgive. You will make mistakes. You will hurt others. Forgive others as your forgive yourself.

10. You shall die. Many try to break this one. But it's natural. It's inevitable. It's part of the plan.

Valuing your health and following the rules permits you to live a purposeful life!

Many people with sudden, acute back pain think, “But gosh, I didn’t even do anything!” What many folks don’t know, or understand, is that it’s not always a case of what you did five minutes ago, or what you did yesterday, or even what you did last week that’s causing the current problem; it’s more a case of “the straw that broke the camel’s back,” no pun intended! Discovering the Cause Sometimes it’s chronic stress that wreaks havoc on your nervous system and finally causes your back to “go out” or a “pain in your neck” because of the strain of carrying the weight of all that stress on your back and neck. Let’s use an everyday example to demonstrate. You go to the local eatery and put your purchase on your bank debit card. All of a sudden, bells and whistles go off because you didn’t have enough money in your account to cover that charge. It’s not this charge that “broke the bank,” it’s all t...

Does Scoliosis Automatically Mean Surgery?

Does Scoliosis Automatically Mean Surgery? A routine school exam reveals your child has scoliosis. Naturally you're concerned. Children aged 10-15 are the largest group affected by scoliosis. Scoliosis is a sideways curvature of the spine. About 80% of scoliosis cases are idiopathic. Which means the cause isn't known. Idiopathic scoliosis may have hereditary factors. Scoliosis afflicts around 2 to 3 percent of the population. Children aged 10 to 15 are the largest age group. And it seems girls are more affected than boys. While common in this age and gender group, a growing number of adults have scoliosis. This often stems from trauma to the spine followed by years of neglect. Congenital scoliosis occurs before birth. These deformities are often from partially-formed vertebrae. Or vertebrae that are fused together. Among children, "wait and see" is often the first-line of traditional treatment. If the scoliosis has progressed beyond a 45° – 50°...
