“As a retired physician, I can honestly say that unless you are in a serious accident, your best chance of living to a ripe old age is to avoid doctors and hospitals and learn nutrition and other forms of natural medicine unless you are fortunate enough to have a naturopathic physician available, like a Chiropractor. Almost all drugs are toxic and are designed only to treat symptoms and not to cure anyone. Vaccines are highly dangerous, have never been adequately studied or proven to be effective, and have a poor risk/reward ratio. Most surgery is unnecessary and most textbooks of medicine are inaccurate and deceptive. Almost every disease is said to be idiopathic (without known cause) or genetic – although this is untrue. In short, our mainstream medical system is hopelessly inept and/or corrupt. The treatment of cancer and degenerative diseases is a national scandal. The sooner you learn this, the better off you will be.”
- A.Greenberg, M.D.
"I started out, as do most beginners in the medical art, to conquer the demon ‘disease’ with drugs. I too, often failed, as they all do... the more I studied and experimented, the more I was convinced that the real cause of dis-ease was impinged nerves, and that the chiropractic adjustment was the most scientific way to release them... results are what count, and chiropractic care, when scientifically given, brings them..."
- William A. Seeley, M.D.
"The contrast of osteopathy to chiropractic is as great as the contrast of an old-fashioned blunder-bus to a modern high powered rifle... this opinion is based on knowledge gained through my experience in drugless therapy, and is so firmly fixed in my mind that I no longer practice osteopathy at all."
- Dr. S.C. Wyatt, former osteopath
“Drugs never cure disease. They merely hush the voice of nature’s protest, and pull down the danger signals she erects along the pathway of transgression. Any poison taken into the system has to be reckoned with later on even though it palliates present symptoms. Pain may disappear, but the patient is left in a worse condition, though unconscious of it at the time.”
- Daniel H. Kress, M.D.
I know many people today still consider medicine to be mainstream, and chiropractic to be an alternative form of healthcare. I would challenge you to consider how this perception came to be, and whether it is truly accurate or not. Consider the word healthcare… do you honestly think that medicine(s) are the ultimate source of health and healing power? I would strongly answer NO and argue that the chiropractic profession, and especially this Wellness Center, strives to TEACH and TREAT the cause of illness and not merely focus on symptoms. Therefore, I would argue that our approach is a no-alternative approach to healthcare. Meaning everyone needs to care for the health of their spine, nerve system and immune system as if it were top priority. Everything after that should be considered secondary or alternative, and that would include drug therapy and surgery. The people you know at work and at home need to be taught that Chiropractic should be the first option when it comes to healthcare, and not the last resort. After all, what is the alternative to actively maintaining your health and preventing disease?

TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE POWER PLATE ON EVERY VISIT!
The more I research and use the Power Plate the more impressed I become with what it can offer.
Power Plate Training aka Acceleration Training results include:
• Increased bone mineral density which is a viable solution to reverse bone loss and to minimize osteoporosis
• Neuromuscular stimulation and enhancement – muscles get stimulated in ways that traditional aerobic/cardio and weight lifting programs can not
• Pain reduction due to the dramatic increase in critical blood flow to muscles and joints throughout the body, i.e. enhanced blood circulation
• Improved flexibility, range of motion, balance and equilibrium
• Increased metabolic rate (critical to weight loss)
• Elevated HGH (human growth hormone), collagen (needed for healthy skin) and serotonin production (feel good hormone), while suppressing cortisol (hormone produced by stress)
While cortisol is an important and helpful part of the body’s response to stress, it’s important that the body’s relaxation response be activated so the body’s functions can return to normal. Unfortunately, in our current high-stress culture, the body’s stress response is activated too often, producing excess cortisol and a state of chronic stress. Higher and more prolonged levels of cortisol in the bloodstream (like those associated with chronic stress) have been shown to have negative effects, such as:
• Impaired cognitive performance
• Suppressed thyroid function
• Blood sugar imbalances
• Decreased bone density
• Decrease in muscle tissue
• Higher blood pressure
• Lowered immunity and inflammatory responses in the body, as well as other health consequences
• Increased abdominal fat, which is associated with a greater amount of health problems than fat deposited in other areas of the body. Some of the health problems associated with increased stomach fat is heart attacks, strokes, higher levels of “bad” cholesterol (LDL) and lower levels of “good” cholesterol (HDL), which can lead to other health problems!
By stepping on the Power Plate you are engaging the Relaxation Response Mechanism we talked about in our seminar on stress and anti-aging. And, therefore literally changing your blood chemistry profile, your level of stress, and the course of your day. To me, that is an amazing benefit!
The Power Plate is not a “magic bullet”… but, it does offer real benefits - and no side effects! The Power Plate is not a substitute for exercise unless you are engaged in a Power Plate Personal Training Program, which we will be offering in the near future.
As a member of our Wellness Center, I strongly urge you to learn more about stress and the benefits of Power Plate. Did you know that we have an educational Stress CD and Power Plate DVD available at the front desk?
If you have a friend or family member that would benefit from Power Plate, please let us know. We will be happy to send them an educational DVD on your behalf.
Power Plate = Less Cortisol and Stress = a Better Day!
