I.) From the Desk of Dr. Fimreite

I was reading a book called, "Challenging Orthodoxy,"by Warren Levin, M.D. One of the statements he said was, "I think physicians in this country are still taught that they fix people. I don’t believe that doctors fix people, not even surgeons. Surgeons today do absolutely awesome feats of technology, but ultimately the surgical procedure ends with the patient being sewn up, put together and, at that point, healing has to take place. Either the patient’s body is going to heal or it is not."

It’s how healthy your body is that will determine how well you heal. If we take a proactive stance on our health, we can control our health and healing. Example: there are germs all around us. We are all exposed to germs all the time. Why is that some people get sick and others don’t , especially considering we’re all exposed to the same germs. Answer, It’s our internal environment and how well it is equipped to handle the external environment. What we do to ensure our body functions at its optimum is crucial to fending off disease and facilitate healing.

Things you can do:

  •  reduce nervous system interference through chiropractic adjustments (The nervous   system control everything including immunity and healing function)
  • eating properly
  • getting plenty of rest
  • exercise
  • handling stress (physical & mental)
  • taking supplements, etc.
Health is defined as "a state of optimal physical mental, and social well-being, not merely the absence of disease and infirmity." If we optimize the health of our body, we are able to fight disease, infection (bacteria or viral), and heal quicker. My goal with these monthly Health Reports is not only how chiropractic can improve your health, but also tips on becoming a healthier you.

II.)   Top Ten Reasons I Don't Go to My Chiropractor 

 

10.)  I don't have the time. I'm the last person I should be taking care of.
9.)  I can't afford it. I'd rather wait until I get worst because drugs and surgery are much more affordable.
8.)  My insurance company doesn't pay for it. And of course we all know that insurance companies always have my health as their first concern.
7.)  I'm not hurting right now. I'd much rather wait until I have lots of pain before I do something about my health.
6.)  I have to see my MD so I'll hold off on chiropractic for now. After all it's more fun to take drugs or have surgery than to have the power turned on with a chiropractic adjustment.
5.)  My back does not hurt. And even though I have other health problems I don't see how the function of my nervous system could have an effect on my overall health.
4.)  I'm already so active. Just imagine how much more energy I might have if my nervous system was free of subluxations. I might burn out or something.
3.)  I like my level of productivity. If my nerve system is free of subluxations, and I can get more done, people will expect more of me.
2.)  I've grown fond of my subluxations. I've gotten used to the feeling of less energy, less resistance, and less health.
And the number one reason I Don't Go to My Chiropractor…
1.)  I like existing at less than 100% of my innate potential.

Chiropractic is a system of health care that releases a most serious form of stress from your body: spinal nerve stress (also known as the vertebral subluxation complex).  Spinal nerve stress can affect your nerves, muscles, internal organs, discs, bones, brain and weakens your overall health.

A doctor of chiropractic is specially trained to determine if you have spinal nerve stress and can release it by using a simple procedure known as a chiropractic adjustment.
Chiropractic has become the largest drugless health care profession in the world because it has helped millions of people recover from sickness, illness and disease without the use of drugs or surgery.

 

III.) Infertility/Inability to Conceive

Below is the story of a California woman who was told by her MDs that she had almost a zero chance of ever getting pregnant, even with in vitro procedures, and who became pregnant after chiropractic adjustments.

Did you hear the one about the woman who went to the chiropractor and got pregnant?
Really, all Karen Bulch wanted was a little neck-and-shoulders adjustment.
But a month after wandering into chiropractor Mark Kimes' Salina office, the 44-year-old Monterey woman was with child, something she had unsuccessfully been trying to accomplish for 4 ½ years.
Kimes told her it might happen. And if it did, he said it would be within the first few months.
Kimes noticed a subluxation - essentially, that's chiropractic for blockage - in Bulch's lower back. He wasn't sure, but Kimes thought he just might be able to tweak the subluxation to the point of reproduction. "I've been in practice for 12 years and I've seen it happen with many women," he said.

IV.)  Want to live to be over a hundred?

With more people living past 100 researchers are now able to study them in greater numbers and they're finding interesting things. "Those who make it close to the 100 mark and beyond are the type who avoid hospitals and doctors whenever possible. When ill, they tend to be optimistic about recovery…[they have generally] good health habits. Most avoid smoking, watch their weight and exercise….their most common characteristic is a feisty spirit and a sense of independence.
"According to researcher Belle Boone Beard author of 'Centenarians' they have 'a tried and true individuality, tempered, like steel, under the heat and pressure of life over time.'
Centenarians also have been practicing preventive medicine all of their lives. Amazing as it sounds the majority studied by Beard had never seen a doctor. Thus, they avoided the iatrogenic (doctor-induced) diseases, accidents and overmedication that plague so many of the elderly."

V.) Chiropractic and Sports

Chiropractic can improve your athletic ability by helping to keep you healthy and in top form, and by keeping minor injuries from becoming major ones.
That's why you'll find chiropractors as "team doctors" for professional, college, high school, junior high, and elementary school football, basketball, baseball, ice-hockey, handball, rugby, soccer, running and weightlifting teams. That's also why chiropractic has been used by champions: Tim Witherspoon, Ken Norton and Evander Holyfield of boxing; Michael Jordon and Charles Barkley of basketball; Ivan Lendl, Martina Navratilova and John McEnroe of tennis; Marcello Angelini and Daniela Buson of ballet; plus world-world-class bikers, racers, golfers and even racing car drivers. In all these sports chiropractors help keep the athlete on the field and help stop minor injuries from becoming major ones without the use of drugs or surgery.

 

VI.) Words of Wisdom

Four habits of life - balanced living, with work, play and rest in proportion; living in the present; accepting reality; directing one's energies with useful purpose. Austen Fox Riggs (1876-1940)

In Accordance With Research Showing That Laughter Is Good For Health We Offer The Following story

This is from an actual conversation as recorded by the dispatcher.
A man calls a hospital. He is beside himself with anxiety:
"My wife is having a baby and we don't know what to do," he yells into the phone.
"Is this her first child?" asks the doctor.
"No you idiot, this is her husband."
