Did you know that the vaccines contain toxic levels of aluminum? This is another example of how the medical community has deceived the people of this country by saying that vaccines are safe! Consider this quote by Dr. John Clements, WHO vaccine advisor. "Aluminum is not perceived, I believe, by the public as a dangerous metal. Therefore, we are in a much more comfortable wicket in terms of defending its presence in vaccines."

It is all based on PERCEPTION...not science! What does the science tell us about aluminum? Here are some known facts. Aluminum is carried out by the kidneys and excessive amounts can cause kidney damage. It is present in our environment in many forms and is considered toxic to the nervous system. Many over-the-counter medications contain aluminum and it is used as food additives as well (like Microwave Popcorn). Over time, aluminum can accumulate in the brain and lead to neurological problems. The latest stats say that a normal human being takes in about 3-10 micrograms daily through air, food and other environmental avenues. A healthy adult will be able to detoxify much of this exposure, but we all know that over time, aluminum can lead to chronic health problems. Aluminum should be avoided as much as possible.

There is only one study that was done on infants and aluminum toxicity, as reported by Dr. Robert Sears in The Vaccine Book. He discovered that the only study done on infants and aluminum exposure documented, "impaired neurological and mental development at 18 months old."Does that sound safe? Why then is it O.K. to inject it in our babies at levels 100 times more toxic than that? Dr. Sears said that aluminum in infants is toxic between 1-20 micrograms. Check out the childhood vaccine schedule of shots reported by Neil Miller, www.thinktwice.com just showing the approximate aluminum levels a child will get in vaccines by 18 months old:

Hep B 250 micrograms given 3 times

DtaP 625 micrograms given 4 times

Hib 225 micrograms given 3 times

PCV 125 micrograms given 4 times

HepA 250 micrograms given 2 times

Grand Total = 4,925 micrograms

This does NOT include the Gardasil Cervical Cancer Vaccine which contains 225 micrograms of aluminum or the flu vaccines which also contain aluminum. So if you ask any "Honest" physician if he/she thinks this is safe and they say "Yes", please understand this person is a danger to society and avoid all contact!

I once heard a pastor say that “a belief is something you buy into, but a PRINCIPLE is something you live and DIE by”. In conversation, I often uncover that though patients “like” coming to get adjusted, they aren't necessarily committed to the PRINCIPLE of Chiropractic. BJ Palmer said “teach the PRINCIPLE, and all else follows”. This is what he means.

Medicine stands by a principle. That principle is that the body is a mechanical unit, a chemical concoction, that is maintained and fixed much like a car by taking away and adding to. Chiropractic stands for a different PRINCIPLE summed up in the phrase “the POWER that MADE the body HEALS the body”. Chiropractic understands that the body is an intelligent creation beyond anything we can UNDERSTAND, let alone make better!

So what, they both have principles. There is nothing WRONG with that. I say that because we can't change that. It will always be that way. What we CAN change is who and how many live according to one Principle or the other. So which do YOU live by? If you rely on medications, cutting, burning, etc then you're Medically Principled. EVEN IF you get adjusted because you're back or neck HURTS, as a form of symptomatic relief, then YES you're still Medically principled. So what does it look like to be ChiropracTIC Principled?

Think of the “TIC” as what “makes you tick”. Someone that LIVES by the principle understands that “healing works ABOVE DOWN, INSIDE OUT”, never from the OUTSIDE IN. It's an ABSOLUTE FAITH that God knows more than EDUCATED MAN could ever know about running a body (he's got more experience). It's to LIVE by the TRUTH that a DEAD body cannot heal EVEN WITH drugs, cutting, removing, vitamins, potions, lotions, and elixirs because INNATE INTELLIGENCE is NO LONGER PRESENT in that body. So what makes those things appear to “work” some of the time? That very POWER.

Does a well educated woman have any better chance of developing a healthy baby than an Uneducated “savage” in the jungle? Mankind has ALWAYS existed ONLY by the undeniable principle that LIFE exists without man's direct involvement. Are we better off doing it ourselves or letting Innate work? So ask yourself. Do you LIVE this principle? If not, you can start right now. Either way, the PRINCIPLE works EVEN IF you don't acknowledge it!

If you haven't read Part 1, ask for a copy or read it from the earlier entry.

Here's the protocol I would do if I “life-styled” myself into Cancer.

1. Get adjusted as often as possible. This allows the other factors to be effective. Without maximum nerve supply the rest is limited in effect.

2. Check your environment. Where are you being poisoned and what can you do about it? Check out the Toxic Top 10 in the Patient Manual.

3. Switch to Water ONLY. You can get a good Flouride filter from CrystalQuest.com (HOT TIP: adding lemon or lime makes the water alkaline).

4. My diet would be almost entirely RAW vegetable based (grass fed meats ONLY, if any). I would also stick totally to the Advanced Diet guidelines in the Patient Manual to eliminate Inflammation.

5. Regardless of diet I would continue my current supplementation of Paleogreens and ProOmega Rx as a baseline, but would increase both doses.

6. Detoxification would continue as I do now going back and forth from Neurocleanse to OSR #1 to eliminate stored up toxins from metals to molds.

7. Vitamin D3 with Probiotics dosage would increase from the 10,000iu per day I do now to ¼ my body weight times 1,000iu (165lbs/2 = 40,000iu).

8. I would make SURE I spent at least an hour of the mid day outside.

9. I would take Phyzymes in the recommended dosage on the bottle to break down the protein walls surrounding cancerous lesions.

10. I would take Blood Support in the recommended dosage on the bottle as it contains concentrates of some of the most potent anticancer herbs known.

11. I would take Total Immune Cell Signal Enhancers in the recommended dosage to reactivate my hormonal pathways back to balance.

12. I would probably do more, but I don't want this to seem excessive...

Does this sound like a lot? Sound expensive? Keep in mind what it took to break down the integrity of your amazing body in the first place. More importantly, what value do you put on your life? It would be your call.

Who do you know that has opted to drain their life and their saving on chemo which is proven a whopping 2.1% effective? This protocol sounds a little more SANE and SCIENTIFIC doesn't it? It's up to YOU to advise them.

This question has come up a few times in the past, it's an answer I think everyone should know. Before I answer it though, let me make it clear that Cancer is NOT something you “get”. Cancer is developed over time due to it's definition by most scholars as a nutritional deficiency disorder exacerbated by toxicity. So it's ALL a diet problem right? Not entirely. The part even these scholars miss is that without proper nerve supply to the organs of digestion, you could not properly absorb nutrients, right?. Without nerve supply to the rest of the tissues you could not deliver them. And without nerve supply to the organs of detoxification you could not eliminate waste from the body. So like everything else nerve supply is at the fundamental CORE of solving the CAUSE of Cancer.

That being said, here's what else you need to know. What are the core nutrients every human needs? To function properly humans need air, water, vitamins, minerals, and sunlight as the primary nutrients. Let's take a look at each of these.

Air: It's not just important that you breath it, but if you can shuttle it through the body to the tissues. Oxygen carrying capacity of the blood depends on nutrition, nerve supply, fitness level, inflammation, medications like BLOOD PRESSURE lowering drugs, and more. It's much more than a pair of lungs.

Water: Most water is highly acidic. But most people don't even drink that. Soda's and Sweet Tea is the vast majority of liquid consumed. Think about it.

Vitamins & Minerals: Research shows the average diet is 90% processed food, void of nutrition and filled with chemicals. Meats are the worst, fed nothing but corn and grains (no grass), loaded with chemicals, and that's the half of it!

Sunlight: But it CAUSES skin cancer right? What a joke! Since that junk science was proliferated and sun block became standard, the rate of skin cancer has gone through the roof. The lack of full sunlight has caused probably 98% of people to be Vitamin D deficient.

So in short, most of us have LITTLE TO NONE of the components we require to stay healthy. In part 2 I'll cover what exact steps I WOULD DO.

As I was researching tonight I came across something VERY disturbing I have NEVER seen before. You see, over the years I have grown accustomed to allowing patients to choose when they come in for their adjustments after they correct their spinal curves. In many other cases, I just accept when many of you say "I want to just come in once a month" (usually for financial reasons) even if the problem is NOT yet corrected. And that's the "good" patients, right? All of us from time to time have gone for long "breaks" before getting back in for their much needed adjustment. In fact MOST of the patients I have seen over the years have taken PERMANENT breaks, or else we would be seeing thousands of people each week.

So here's the find. This study by Tapio Videman MD, a researcher in Finland who has been studying the spine for many years http://bit.ly/56UIKR. He found that subluxation left for just 7-14 days will cause irreversible degeneration due to the irritated nerves causing muscle spasms which attract scar tissue. Scar tissue built up in the muscles surrounding the spine and on the spine itself is permanent. This leads to PERMANENT SUBLUXATION which is every increasingly more difficult AND more costly to deal with.

Ironic isn't it? You think you're saving money by coming in less often, and I think I'm helping you out by letting you drop down. When really we're letting permanent damage set in over time which will eventually cost you twice as much, not to mention loss of the priceless....HEALTH.

What about kids was my next thought. In digging a little deeper I found this:

“……….In the child, neuromuscular and functional adaptive reflex development represents a critical period of time when the young developing nervous system assimilates, differentiates, and adapts to external and internal stimuli. By means of these processes, the nervous system learns proprioceptive patterns and acquires future habits and reactions by responding to repetitive stimuli.

However, such a developing nervous system is not always able to distinguish between proper and improper stimuli; therefore it responds to both. This is the conundrum - the response in neither
“good” nor “bad”, but rather adaptive to the presenting stimulus. These adaptive responses are remembered and patterned and thus the young nervous system is conditioned for future response.

This process of neurological “learning” or “programming” of the central nervous system with respect to locomotion, posture, proprioception, and body kinetics begins within a few short months after birth……..”

Ressel, O,, Rudy R, Vertebral Subluxation Correlated with Somatic, Visceral and Immune Complaints: An Analysis of 650 Children Under Chiropractic Care, J. Vertebral Subluxation Res.

• JVSR.Com, October 18, 2004 19

What does all that "technical" jargon mean? That when kids have subluxation that goes uncorrected, it sets a PATTERN for subluxation THE REST OF THEIR LIFE.

I am stunned. But more importantly, I'M SORRY. I have let many of you go a month, and often longer in between adjustments and made no big deal about it because even though I knew it IN MY HEART, I act out of MY HEAD most of the day.

As this is the best way to get to everyone, if you want what's best for YOU and YOUR FAMILY, do NOT go more than 2 weeks between adjustments ever again. This IS NOT a cheap trick to get you in the office so I can "take your money". If you think that's the case, then leave, and go to another Chiropractor so long as YOU DON'T MISS MORE THAN TWO WEEKS! If I truly charged for the VALUE of Chiropractic and what it has PERSONALLY done for ME and MY FAMILY, you would not be able to afford it! I only want to see you at your best, with success, for a long and healthy life.

Once again, PLEASE accept my apology for not seeing this research sooner.

The need for Omega Fatty Acids in our diet used to be one for the “health guru's” but it seems today EVERYONE is on the bandwagon. Cardiologists prescribe it regularly for their patients with Blood Pressure, Cholesterol, and other diagnoses (notice I did NOT say diseases). Oncologists prescribe it for their Cancer patients. Even Pain Management Physicians prescribe it for it's incredible anti-inflammatory properties. Why is it that so many different disciplines of doctors use this simple and inexpensive treatment?

Did you know that Omega Fatty Acids make up the Cell Membrane of every cell in your body? That's right, about 70 TRILLION of them. Not to mention deriving a major portion of your BRAIN and NERVE SYSTEM as well. Quite possibly this is the most important nutrient in the whole body. Here's why.

Remember in Science class when you learned about the Cell? How each cell is a microscopic copy of the human body with ORGAN-elles providing the same functions as your body's ORGANS? How the Nucleus is the “Brain” of the cell? Well guess what, the part about the Nucleus was completely wrong.

Blasphemy...I know! Hang on, think about it. What is in the cell's Nucleus? That's correct, DNA! What correlating ORGAN in your body stores DNA for cell replication? Hmmm, not the Brain, but the Testicles and Ovaries! So if the Nucleus is not the Brain of the cell, what is?

The answer is, the Cell Membrane. It's not just a plastic bag holding all the “goo” into the cell as it turns out, no more than your skin is. It's an active organ-elle but more importantly controls ALL inter and intra-cellular communications. Cool huh?

This is why Omega balance is SO important. Unless in the right 4 to 1 ratio, the Nerve System of every cell in your body is SUBLUXATED! And taking a Fish Oil from the store usually throws you too far in the opposite direction.

The answer? Pro Omega Rx is the ONLY omega to my knowledge that is in the correct ratio, containing all the right oils in the right amount. You can pick up in the office or order online at a discounted rate from www.DrBucknell.com.

So I took my wife on a date to see “Avatar” in 3D. Have you seen it? Absolutely incredible movie. Scenery so rich it would make standing on a beach in Hawaii seem mediocre. Action and excitement so intense that it makes going to an Alabama football game seem complacent. I walked out of the theater with that strange “post experience” feel like you were somehow part of that world. Then the feeling hit. Wow, tomorrow looks boring!

I'm a big fan of entertainment, but the overwhelming of the senses has an effect of “post Hollywood depression” as you take off the 3D glasses and step back into reality. Do you know the feeling I'm describing? Maybe you get it watching a comedy, or a romance? You got it.

So how is this relevant to getting up and going in the morning? More than that, how does it apply to going at life like a mad rhino, mowing down adversity to reach your goals with pizazz?

That feeling that makes you want (or not want) to get up in the morning can all be summed up in HOPE. If one has a significant amount of hope for something, it manifests as excitement. Hollywood style excitement. Great people throughout history has created tremendous change in short periods of time. Do you think they did it by waking up in the morning and saying, “I really want to just stay in bed all day because then I wouldn't have to deal with all those difficult people and impossible problems”? Take your pick of the example and you'll see that behind their motive was a HOPE for the future. An image implanted deep in their soul of not what appears to be, not even what COULD be, but what WILL be.

Today, this week, this year, you have the opportunity to stop dwelling on what COULD be and begin to LIVE in what WILL be. You see HOPE is different than a WISH. A wish is something imaginary, yet often used as a synonym to hope. The bible doesn't describe Yeshua (Jesus) as the HOPE for mankind, not just a WISH. You see the difference in context?

So stop WISHING your dreams to come true. Where is your HOPE? What is it? Is it already TRUE in your mind? If not, make sure you get a free CD of my “Resolution to REVolution Audio Workshop”.

So a patient called my cell phone today because she just HAD to tell me what just happened. Her 5yr old had a rash develop so she took him to the pediatrician for a DIAGNOSIS. NOT for treatment, she knows better, but to find out what it was so I could tell her what to do NATURALLY for it.

So in consultation he asks about vaccinations being up to date in which she says NO. He asks why. She says for “religious reasons” (which means by definition your personal convictions not constrained by organized religious belief). He goes on to say that her son was a BIOHAZARD! She was clearly offended by that but when he used the line about cancer children etc being at risk she wasn't sure what to say. So I figured I would arm everyone with the right questions to fire back. Use at your own risk of angry scowls!

“Your child is a risk to other children”

• Well if they were vaccinated then why is my child a risk?

- The point they make is self conflicting because if the vaccines worked then those children who are vaccinated should have zero risk, while the children of “ignorant” parents who don't get vaccinated should be widely available as proof that they contracted the diseases and died right? Ask if they have any case histories of this happening.

“Your child is a risk to kids with cancer (who have no immune system from chemo)”

• Well if that's the case then how is the chemo good for them?

- This kind of question is clearly canned to make you feel like dirt for these poor kids who are dying. So turn the table. Those children just like yours should be under treatment that BUILDS immunity, not destroys it. The argument here is robbing Peter to pay Paul. Like taxing people to death, then saying you need to raise taxes even further on the ones who have money to give to those who you already robbed blind (sound familiar?).

“If your child is not vaccinated they're at risk of dying of these diseases”

• Could you provide me with any studies that prove the vaccines cure or prevent these diseases?

- If they provide you anything, I'd love to see it!

“Your child can not be a patient if they're not up to date with their shots”

• That's OK, my CHIROPRACTOR knows a doctor who will.

-Virginia: Fox News D.C.: Desiree Jennings, 26 year old redskins cheerleading hopeful and avid runner was given a SEASONAL FLU SHOT at a local grocery store because she was told it would help her immunity to the seasonal flu while she was training for a half marathon. Within ten days of receiving the flu shot, she developed the flu and began to experience seizures. Doctors diagnosed this otherwise healthy girl with Dystonia, a rare, debilitating, neurological side effect to the flu vaccine. Desiree can no longer walk, speak, or perform any function of any kind. When told she had a one in a million reaction she stated “I would have rather bought a lottery ticket.”

-Brooklyn, NY: Natural News: 6 yr. old Nikiyah Torres-Pierre, was given an H1N1 vaccine at school without her parents consent and had to be immediately rushed to the hospital. Her mother was afraid of the potential side effects the untested vaccine may have so she wouldn’t sign the consent form. School and medical officials say Nikiyah was “accidentally” given the vaccine and that “mistakes like that are rare.”

-Fargo, South Dakota: A young expectant mother (name and information withheld) was given the H1N1 vaccine in accordance to the CDC’s recommendations that all pregnant women receive the vaccine. The night she received the vaccine she began experiencing unusual cramps and the baby began to kick more than usual. At first, mom thought nothing of it.

“Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country.” We've all heard this quote. Our nation is in disastrous shambles financially, emotionally, spiritually, and affecting all other aspects....in terms of HEALTH. Here's some relevant questions to ask yourself RIGHT NOW and EVERY DAY the rest of your life.

• Is my diet adding to my life and energy, or is my enjoyment of guilty pleasure a lust worth fulfilling?

• Is this TV show or computer worth the time I take away from what I COULD be using to PROMOTE my existence?

• Am I satisfied so long as I look OK on the outside, even if my organs are SHUTTING DOWN on the inside?

• If my arm hurt and my Doctor suggested I cut it off, would I do it? Then WHY would I take out an internal organ or cut on my body with such little hesitation just because they say so?

• If I took 2 or 3 times as many of my drugs, what would it do to me? So is it GOOD for me at the current dose either?

• My body developed from 2 CELLS to 100 TRILLION with NO HELP. Does my body really need MY outside-in help to get well, or just NO INTERFERENCE?

• If I gave a vitamin, lotion, drug, etc to a DEAD body would it heal? So what MAKES them work in a LIVING body?

• Is owning a nice car, a nice house, and lots of STUFF worth not investing in additional QUALITY of life?

• Is my money more important than my LIVING to use it wisely? Would I even cut CHRISTMAS gifts if I could have 1 MORE CHRISTMAS DAY to spend with my family?

• What MIGHT my life be like if I gave 100% of my effort to getting the MOST out of it physically, mentally, and spiritually with NO EXCUSES?

When you're asked this question, if you're like most you think WHO around me might be cheating me. Business partners, colleagues, advisors, doctors, teachers, waitresses, hair stylists, etc. But what I've found over the years is that people cheat themselves much more often, and much more viciously, than any other person could ever get away with. 

Every day the opportunity is right in our face to make decisions that could change the momentum and radically shift our direction.  Yet human nature is to only do enough to stay comfortable, because change itself and new territory MAY be uncomfortable, or even DANGEROUS right? 

Just look at how 99% of people deal with their health (maybe even someone very personal?). Usually we do what we want, eat what we want, when we want, and then when somewhere along the line we get sick, or worse some part of us wears out or shuts down, THEN we do, not all we could, but JUST ENOUGH to get the symptoms under control so we can go back to doing what we want when we want it. That was wordy so you may want to go back and read it again.  Are you guilty?

If you are, then you like most are your Biggest Cheater. Any time you're not doing all you possibly can to support your health, your relationships, your knowledge, your fitness, or any other area in your life, consider what you're cheating your FUTURE of?  The old saying goes that “The most valuable real estate on Earth are the graveyards, because that's where all the unused potential is buried.”  If there was a way to see into your possible future at what you COULD attain, or your past at what you could have, every single gravestone would read “Here lies the world's greatest ______, but never attained it because of a Lack of Vision and PROCRASTINATION.”  Would yours read something like this?

STOP.  If you even for ONE SECOND had a trace of a doubt that you were NOT made to be the greatest _____ then your problem is MUCH deeper.  Self worth is what sums up this whole conversation.  A person who has a lot of self worth will do whatever it takes to maintain oneself no matter the cost.  How would you take care of a Van Gogh, or a Ferrari?

In today's political climate, we have to be conscious more than ever of what's going on.  Back in the early part of the century there were multiple attempts after the “Boston Tea Party” ended taxation to re-establish it.  This was fought by the people with a vengeance.  Then one night they passed legislation while the rest of congress was on vacation and here we are today.

The same process we see in action right now.  Here's a few:

·         Expedited Drug Approval:  Attorney Jim Turner has filed lawsuit against the FDA for violating Federal Law and endangering the public by putting the untested H1N1 Vaccine on the market.

·         Massachusetts and others are tampering with Forced Vaccination. This of course tramples Constitutional Right, and the “certain unalienable rights” of a citizen.

·         Quarantine Policy:  The CDC just drafted a “mandatory quarantine” protocol to be used in case of a “national pandemic emergency”.  Rather than staying in your home you could be “concentrated” for “decontamination”.

·         The Cybersecurity Act of 2009:  This bill if passed would allow the government to control the internet under the guise of “National Security”.  In other words this kind of material would cause a website to be shut down.

Sound like Science Fiction?  Before 9-11 it was.  Amazing how one event can be used to transform the entire thinking of a nation, and paralyze them from protecting their families.  So WHY is this important to Maximized Living and you?

The following update is sent at the request of Dr. Don Williamson, Alabama State Health Officer.  The same message has also been provided to the Medical Association for distribution however, hospitals are encouraged to share this information with local physicians.

H1N1 Confirmation Testing Unnecessary in Most Cases

Novel H1N1 is widely prevalent in Alabama.  Over the last 4 weeks, the Alabama Department of Public Health (ADPH) laboratory confirmed 652 cases of influenza, all of which were novel H1N1.  Patients with flu-like symptoms most likely have H1N1 disease and clinicians are justified in making this diagnosis based solely on presentation.  Rapid influenza diagnostic tests positive for A or A/B are highly predictive of novel H1N1.  H1N1 is less likely if the rapid test is positive for B.  Negative rapid tests do not rule out H1N1.  Several commercial laboratories offer H1N1 PCR testing, but routine confirmatory testing is not necessary and treatment decisions should not be delayed pending off-site test results.  Because of the widespread prevalence of the disease and finite capacity of the ADPH laboratory, ADPH must restrict testing to hospitalized patients, pregnant women, and a fixed number of patients seen weekly by a statewide network of designated practices.  This approach will allow ADPH to confirm the diagnosis in severely ill persons and pregnant women and identify circulating influenza subtypes. Although there have been a few case reports of resistance to oseltamivir, H1N1 is sensitive to both it and zanamivir.  H1N1 is resistant to adamantine and rimantadine.  For maximum benefit, antiviral treatment should begin as close to the onset of illness as possible.  Many persons with mild symptoms and no underlying risk factors for severe illness recover from H1N1 illness without taking antivirals.

CDC's guidance for excluding ill persons depends on their setting.  Persons with influenza-like illness should remain at home until at least 24 hours after they are free of fever (100° F), or signs of a fever, without the use of fever-reducing medications.  This is often 3-5 days.  This recommendation applies to schools, businesses, mass gatherings, camps, and other community settings where the majority of people are not at increased risk for influenza complications.  Because viral excretion can persist after cessation of fever, convalescent healthcare workers should be excluded for 7 days from symptom onset or until the resolution of symptoms, whichever is longer.

This post may seem "off topic", but I think it's more relevant than anything.  I think too many people walk through life complaining about their environment and their situation.  Do they ever really stop to think how bad it COULD be?  When you stop to consider for even a moment that you STILL have breath in your body, your heart is STILL beating, you still have ONE person in your life that cares, ONE friend, maybe even have a spouse or kids when others have lost theirs or could not have them in the first place, you see real quickly that "it ain't so bad after all".

Friday I suffered with a patient, and friend, for the spontaneous loss of their unborn child of 5 months.  I've never been very good at consoling, or showing emotion, most of which is due to hardening through experience.  But on the inside my heart was CRUSHED.  To see the tears welling up, and the lips quivering with every word from a grown man will make even the hardest of hearts thaw quickly.  When I've FELT what he is feeling, the last thing I wanted to do was allow myself to go into that state remembering my own experience.  All I could say is "I'm so sorry, but remember this that GOD has a plan, and no matter what you can NEVER allow yourself to question HIS will." 

And that brings me to conclusion of this story because today is the birthday of my son Owen, who is no longer with us.  He would have been 2 today, if it were not for an undetected heart defect.  I have an interesting story to tell from today though that I had to share in relation.  I remember when we lost Owen I was mad, confused, and overwhelmed with grief.  For days while even we had family in town and at our house my wife and I would go in the bedroom and lock ourselves in and just weep for hours on end.  At night we would talk and cry, talk and cry.  I didn't go back to the office for a week, though around people I began the hardening process in showing as little emotion as I could acting like I was focusing on other things.  My mind NEVER stopped wheeping though.

Those words came to me though because I remember that despite the emotional rollercoaster I NEVER questioned God's will.  I kept speaking "your will be done, not mine."  And here's what was revealed to me today.  Quirky coincidence but too obvious to ME to ignore.  You see Owen's name meant "well born".  That he was.  My wife and I had decided he was our last.  We would not have any more children.  Yet we were GIFTED with just three GREAT weeks with him. 

Today, on his birthday, we were in church and our pastor was covering the Lord's Prayer.  He first mentioned today was the 2 year anniversary of losing his wife in a tragic car accident which brought Owen to mind.  He used that story to cover what it meant in the Lord's prayer "your will be done".  That's when I realized that we named our 8 month old son, who would NOT have been born if it was NOT according to GOD's will and design, none other than WILL.  Until today that had NEVER crossed my mind.

It's incredible what GOD has for each of us when we listen and place HIS will before our own.  I don't know what's to come of my life, or my two sons, but I'm MORE EXCITED than ever to find out.  So PLEASE, stop allowing yourself to complain about anything and start LIVING the glorious LIFE that you have been GIVEN.  You are here for a specific purpose or you would not be here.  Stop whining and start LISTENING.

Why Won’t My Insurance Cover My Ongoing Care?
 

This question comes up often enough, and it’s confusing enough, that it must be addressed IN DETAIL for full understanding.  Often I’ll get questions like “How come my old Chiropractor always billed my insurance year after year but you won’t?”, and “My insurance SAYS they’ll pay 18 visits, why can’t I use it?”  These are GOOD QUESTIONS, but the answers will shock you.  (Or maybe they won’t!)

The Goal of Insurance Companies

Undoubtedly Insurance Companies are NOT non-profit organizations, far from it.  Their intent is to collect as much money from the patient as possible while paying as little to the doctor as possible.  So whose side are they on?  They’re worried about one thing and one thing only, the Bottom Line Profit.  Knowing this you have to ask yourself does my Insurance Company give a lick about my Good Health and Long Life?  Absolutely not.  In fact, it is well known that the average patient changes insurance often enough that if they can temporarily patch a problem then by the time it becomes serious it will be either some “other” insurers problem, or they can jack up or simply deny further coverage.  Another way of looking at this is if every person alive was 100% healthy how much insurance would they sell?  That’s right, ZERO.  So do they want people to be healthy or as sick as possible without creating expenditures? Right again, SICK.  So they protect THEMSELVES by having rules such as “deductibles”, “pre-existing conditions”, and “non-medically-necessary procedure” clauses.  Knowing this we’ll look at how it affects Corrective Chiropractic Wellness Care.

The Difference Between Medical Necessity and Wellness/Maintenance Care

Did you know that a Medical Doctor gets paid vastly more for the SAME PROCEDURES such as x-rays and examinations as a Chiropractor does?  So who do you think runs the insurance industry?  That being said, knowing how powerful Corrective Chiropractic care is in getting a patient truly HEALTHY, they go an extra step in discrimination by creating two categories of Chiropractic care.  The first is “Medically Necessary” or “functional” care, and the other is “Chiropractically Necessary” or “corrective/maintenance” care. The difference is medically necessary care is PAIN care for a NEW PROBLEM, while chiropractically necessary care is ANYTHING ELSE.  Here’s where they play games of deception.  Blue Cross for example gives you a booklet that says “18 visits” or “up to $400 a year” coverage (which by the way NO SUCH LIMITS are placed on Medical Doctors).  But then the Chiropractor verifies coverage and is told “up to 18 visits of MEDICALLY NECESSARY” care.  The catch is that in an Audit, which I’ve been BLESSED to have been through early in my career, the insurance company expects that the patient should either be 100% PAIN FREE within the INITIAL 12-18 visits OR should be referred to a Medical Doctor.  Yes, and with BCBS the Chiropractor has to SIGN A CONTRACT agreeing to this as “in-network” or BCBS won’t help the patient AT ALL.  This is called LEVERAGE, over both the Chiropractor AND the patient. So imagine now the Chiropractor bills 18 visits one year, then continues to see the patient for “cash” (or nothing at all), then the next year rolls around and they start billing insurance again. That is now referred to as INSURANCE FRAUD.  So why then did “your old Chiropractor” get away with it?  That’s easy, because the insurer wants to keep the patient happy to keep collecting cash so they WILL pay, but at any time they can walk in and Audit the Chiropractor and he will have to PAY BACK anything past the initial care, and possibly even face PRISON.  Fortunately we’re good enough at what we do that we don’t have to break the law to keep patients around.  Patients who understand Chiropractic is NOT ABOUT PAIN will stay regardless of Insurance!

"Principle #3:  The Union of Intelligence and Matter - Life is necessarily the union of intelligence and matter." 

Over 100 years ago Palmer explained that LIFE itself was intelligence animating otherwise nonliving material.  In other words the only difference between YOU and a rock is the Innate, inborn intelligence.  As we've explored though in the past number of weeks "the rules have changed" since its original understanding.  So much that what we THINK is actual matter, tangible and material, is nothing more than energy when looking on a subatomic level.

OK, so NOW what is the difference between YOU and that rock?  It's a difference in INTELLIGENCE.  Every "thing" that you can see in feel is made up of "intelligent energy", but there IS a difference.  While all matter in the known universe is "held together" by an organizing force called Universal Intelligence, living breathing animated creatures have an additional and much more special force called INNATE INTELLIGENCE. 

Without Universal Intelligence as the binding force keeping your atoms and molecules perfectly organized you (and the rock) would instantly disintegrate.  Universal is everywhere in the body (just like the rock).  That's why when you die your body stays in one piece (at least for a while).  A rock is NOT living because it does NOT have Innate Intelligence.  But LIFE!  Life is the union of (Innate) Intelligence not "with" matter, but INTO living fuctioning animate matter.  Innate Intelligence is what makes it all work.  You live, breath, have a heartbeat, produce energy, and every other function BECAUSE of Innate Intelligence.  Without Innate Intelligence you CEASE TO BE LIVING.

"The Chiropractic Meaning of Life - The expression of this (Universal) intelligence through matter is the Chiropractic Meaning of Life."

The field of Quantum Physics is uncovering incredible discoveries beyond the most wild of imaginations.  What we're finding is that physical matter is not physical at all.  When you break a matter down, you find elements or atoms.  When you break elements (atoms) down, you find subatomic particles such as neutrons and electrons.  When you look closer at these subatomic particles, you discover they are not "particles" at all, but merely energy.  When you manipulate or break down this energy, you find it essentially is just "information", or as BJ Palmer described it LONG before Quantum Physics; INTELLIGENCE.  This INTELLIGENCE is the source of ALL existence.

In essence, imagine everything you know about the world (universe) we live in as a never-ending ocean of information.  In the Far East religions they call it "consciousness".  In the Western Religions we know this as GOD.  So while BJ's description of his understanding of this PRINCIPLE might be just slightly faulty, we can change it slightly and prove it now by science in saying "The expression of this Universal Intelligence INTO WHAT WE KNOW AS matter is the Chiropractic Meaning of Life."

It brings new light to the idea of GOD BREATHING LIFE into man doesn't it?  Not to mention how the Universe itself was created and organ-ized.  That SAME expression of intelligence that created the heavens is how YOU exist.  Therefore that IS your meaning of life.  You are literally an EXPRESSION of GOD.

Yet how many times have you given into FEAR or WORRY that you must take pills and get intelligent matter removed from your body in order to maintain health?  I hope you see the GRAND FALLACY!  The second fallacy is that you bought into the idea that Chiropractic was in ANY WAY about back pain, neck pain, and headaches!  Fixing those things, cancer, diabetes, heart disease, arthritis, alzheimers, ADHD, infertility, or any other dis-ease we see miracles with is just a SYMPTOM of the re-establishing EXPRESSION of INTELLIGENCE within the body.  Now do you see?
