Chiropractic and Cancer
Chiropractic and Cancer What does chiropractic have to do with cancer? Chiropractic as a healing art is founded on the scientific fact that the nervous system controls all of the healing, regulation and control of the body. Chiropractors look to the spine because the brain’s communication network, the nerves, come through the side of the spine (through joints) to regulate, heal and control the entire body. The spine has over 100 joints that allow for flexibility and movement but may also become misaligned and put pressure on nerves. Pressure on nerves causes disregulation or decreased ability for the brain to communicate healing, controlling and regulating messages to the part of the body at the end of a compromised nerve. Chiropractors do not treat cancer. Chiropractic does help optimize nerve communication and removes interference by removing pressure on nerves through realigning the spine. Improved communication leads to better healing, regulation and control over all of the body’s functions, including your body’s ability to deal with cancer, handle treatments, regenerate cells, absorb nutrients from your diet and the like.

Weight Loss Success Thoughts on the 2014 Weight Loss Challenge Basically one big downer, but it’s the truth and it could help you win next year. On the eve of the “Weigh Out” of my annual weight loss challenge, I thought I would share with you some of the things that sabotage weight loss success and things you can learn from the mistakes of others involved in the 2014 challenge. Mistakes are what help us grow if we are open and enlightened enough to realize that failure is an opportunity to succeed, great good can come of a less than ideal attempt at reaching your goals.. After reading this, ask yourself how you will respond to some of the observations I’ve posted here. The first thing that I’ve learned is that those who sign up for my weight loss challenge (WLC) but don’t sign up for the classes, typically fail and never show up at the weigh out. People who sign up have the best intentions and some motivation but it’s hard to sustain and maintain both. Weight loss success requires consistency, more effort and a good support system. People who don’t sign up for the...

Shoveling Snow Whoever says shoveling snow doesn’t count as a workout has definitely never done it before. With the winter most of us recently experienced – and the promise for more of the same in the future – it behooves us all to learn the proper way to shovel snow. Shoveling snow if a very repetitive exercise that involves weight that can vary from a little to a lot. As such, it is really no different from lifting weights at your local gym. If we think about shoveling snow as a workout or an exercise of its own, we easily see the need for applying proper technique just as we do when exercising at the gym. Even before the winter comes – perhaps at your annual checkup – ask your doctor if you should even shovel snow. Individuals with a heart condition or those that do not exercise regularly are especially at risk when shoveling snow. Before beginning to shovel, get the blood moving by jumping rope, marching in place, or doing jumping jacks. Then do a bit of light stretching to wake up those tired muscles. When shoveling snow, stand with your feet about hip-width apart to provide...
