Do you remember when we were just getting your care plan started and you had to read those six pamphlets on health education? Do you recall the statistic regarding how many people will be diagnosed with cancer and heart disease? Let me refresh your memory…
“Approximately five out of every six people in the U.S. will die from heart disease and cancer.” According to this statistic these two diseases seem inevitable. Perhaps they are, IF, you and your family follow the same health patterns and healthcare methods as the people who created this statistic. Your family has a one in six chance of avoiding these two seriously degenerative illnesses- unless you & they do something about it.
Research shows that the vast majority of cancer and heart disease patients could have avoided said health problems if they only knew how to prevent disease in the first place. Specifically, I am referring to a consistent nutrition and exercise program that actually works! But, more importantly, I am referring to maintaining the health of their Central Nervous System. Problems with the Central Nervous System will cause the organs of the body (the immune system and heart) to not function or heal normally. Unfortunately, most people take better care of their cars, pets, plants, and clothing than they do their own bodies. A person’s Central Nervous System is so critical to their livelihood and lifespan! Ask yourself this:
- What happens when a person does little to nothing to preserve optimal nerve function, i.e. health?
- Why is it that we know bad posture is unhealthy, and yet it all starts as children… how long will the insanity of “wait and see”, “if it ain’t broke or painful don’t fix it” approach continue?
- Why is it that most parents do not make it a top priority to actively promote proper growth and development of their child’s posture, spine and nerve system?
- Why do children not get regular spinal-nerve system checkups like they do dental checkups?
- Why do we let our children make the same mistakes we have made?
- When will we understand that Real Chiropractic Health Care is more than just a solution to back pain?
These are tough questions to evaluate, especially when you consider them personally. What do you want for your family… health or disease? Silly question isn’t it? But seriously, what are you doing to make that happen for them? Are they on a health maintenance and disease prevention plan or a “wait and see” crisis management plan? The truth is most kids are not actively involved in the former in anyway whatsoever. This is very sad and unfortunate!
I hope and pray that each and every time we take a new patient into the practice that it will be a turning point for them. I would like to believe that they will not only improve personally, but also discover their role as a leader and health educator in their own family unit. I am hoping that they take what we have to offer and share it with those they know and love. Above all else, I hope they come to understand that what their loved ones need the most is what they are actually receiving themselves… a better functioning Central Nervous System - a body that will not only function better, but last longer as well.
