Much of our health care system has been based on the germ theory which simply speaking says that germs cause disease and we should kill all the germs. While certainly there are times when this may be true, as a system of health care and as a general rule it has been ineffective.

     Our attempt to wipe out “bugs” has created an assault on our immune systems, placed many of our bodies out of balance and, according to The Telegraph, leads to 10,000 deaths per year through the creation of super bugs who have adapted to this assault. The Interference Theory of Dis-ease takes a much different approach and if you incorporate this philosophy into your lifestyle you will be more likely to enjoy a long, active healthy quality of life from birth to 100 years and beyond.

     The first basic premise of the Interference Theory is that your body has within it an Innate Intelligence which has been with you from the moment of conception, and holds the blueprint for you to live an active healthy life. This Innate Intelligence is the vitalistic energy that distinguishes a living being from a corpse.

     The second component of this theory is that the expression of this intelligence can be interfered with and become wholly or partially blocked. When this happens, dis-ease, or lack of ease, results causing dis-harmony, weakness, and imbalance within the body that in turn, if left uncorrected, will lead to disease.

     The third component of this theory includes adjustments that are designed to remove the interference so that your Innate Intelligence can cause spontaneous healing and give your body the best opportunity to function at its highest level for a lifetime.

     There are two types of interference that lead to dis-ease. The first type is lifestyle interference and the second type is nerve interference. While these interferences can interact with each other, and exacerbate the other, they must be removed independently in order for your body to express its innate potential.  Nerve interference results most often from injuries to the spine which interferes with the communication between your brain and your body and also the other direction from your body to your brain.

     This communication pathway is necessary for your body to express health and vitality. For example, your heart, lungs, liver, kidneys, stomach, leg muscles and every other cell tissue and organ require healthy nerve supply without interference for these individual parts to function properly and interact with each other in a healthy way. If your spine is injured during the birth process, childhood falls, accidents or from stress, this causes pressure in your nervous system, interference, which creates dis-ease.

     Too many people wait for a crisis and treat the symptoms of dis-ease through drugs and surgery rather than removing the interference to create ease. The side effects from this can be devastating especially if this is done over time. Removing the interference provides a healthier long term solution so that your body can express its true health potential over the course of your lifetime.

     Lifestyle interference includes the choices that you make regarding food, thoughts, and your environment. Lifestyle interference is caused by eating unhealthy foods, such as white sugar, white flour, starches, processed foods and foods that are filled with manmade chemicals that cause interference to your body’s natural state of ease.

     Stress, excessive sitting, smoking, negative thoughts and lack of exercise are other sources of lifestyle interference that, as a part of your lifestyle, can decrease both the quantity and quality of your years. If you want to live an active healthy quality of life, avoid sickness, and express your full potential for yourself and your family then it is important that you remove the interference from your life and keep it out of your life for the rest of your life.

     Our office is committed to helping you and your loved ones achieve this goal so that you can enjoy a healthy 2011 as well as a sensational century.

Pain can ruin your life. Whether it comes and goes in an unpredictable fashion or whether it is constant, having to manage and deal with pain on a regular basis can be exhausting, inconvenient and let’s face it, painful. Pain can take many forms including headaches, neck or arm pain, back and leg pain, stomach pain, sinus pain, and literally any other part of your body. We’ve seen it all!

     Too many people tolerate pain without an effective strategy for healing. Pain that comes and goes, rollercoaster pain, is tiring and frustrating. You can never plan your life because you never know if you are going to hurt. Before you know it, it controls you.

     The challenge of this rollercoaster pain is that many people only take care of themselves when the pain reaches a point of severity that you might consider a crisis. The typical protocol in this situation for many people is to stop your life, deal with the crisis through a couple of quick fixes such as a couple of chiropractic adjustments, or popping a bunch of pills, just to get some immediate relief.

     When the relief comes, you are so excited to feel better that you stop taking care of yourself until it hurts again. Here is a little secret: in most cases when the pain is gone, the cause of the pain is still there and if you want to get off the rollercoaster you have got to continue doing the things that will give your body a chance to heal.

     In our office we call this the Critical Transition. The Critical Transition is critical because it is when you commit yourself to being consistent with your care regardless of how you feel so that your body can regenerate. This is like the person who reaches their goal weight after being on a diet and decides to

continue eating healthy and exercising rather than reverting back to old habits that caused them to gain weight in the first place. The consistency when you feel better really matters.

     The same is true if you have acute pain. No matter what part of your body has been affected, acute pain can stop your life in its tracks. Many people who have this type of pain will often say things like “I felt twinges there before” or “periodically I feel a _______.” These may be signs that an acute crisis is just around the corner and that there is something underlying in your body that is causing the problem whether the pain is present or not.

     Chiropractic care is very effective in helping people eliminate both rollercoaster and acute pain because we actually do not treat the pain at all. Instead, we work with your body’s innate ability to heal. Nerve interference can cause pain in any body part as well as contribute to all types of health problems. Nerve compression can exist without pain and lie dormant for decades until your body completely breaks down. 

     Don’t let this happen to you. No wonder so many of our new patients, including many of you, your family and friends have come into our office and said these powerful words, “Please take my pain away.” 

     Pain doesn’t have to control your life anymore. Get off the rollercoaster and let chiropractic care help your body heal right away, and over the long haul of your life. Through our New. You. 2011. campaign, we encourage you to take a new approach to taking your pain away and then make the Critical Transition to Lifestyle Care.

     A new you in 2011 is right around the corner. Make an appointment today, regardless of how you feel. You will be glad you did.
