 There are many reasons why a person first comes into my office for care.
It could be because: • A nagging pain • Recurrent ailment • A new pain • A stressful event (physically, emotionally, mentally) • A desire for more ease in life and joy • A ‘persistent’, yet loving family member, friend or co-worker said so. Regardless of the motivation, the underlying hope in most of us is that we want our individual problem fixed and we’re looking to someone else to do it. In order to be fixed, you must first be broken. You are not broken. Read that again: You. Are. Not. Broken. “What?” you may ask. “Then why am I not healing???” Imagine you are talking on your cell phone with someone and in the middle of a conversation, the signal is dropped. Do you think your phone is broken or have you simply lost your connection? Healing is not about correction because you’re broken. It is about connection between your body (spine) and brain.

 How often have you heard someone say “My mother had it, my aunt has it, and my cousin has it, I am destined to get it too” or “It’s all in the genes”? The truth is, according to Dr. Bruce Lipton, 80-90% of all diseases are actually stress and lifestyle. Even in the case of identical twins, 70% of diseases that result are environmental and related to lifestyle. If we take cancer alone, an article published in the NCBI shows that only 5-10% of all cancer cases can be attributed to genetic defects whereas the remaining 90-95% have their roots in the environment and lifestyle. This is great news! While it’s hard to change our genes, it is possible to make changes to the way we think and feel about life. It also means that we get to take more responsibility for our health. The Bioterrain The bioterrain is the environment inside your body. It contains the fluids, nutrients, minerals, etc. Each cell is made up of a membrane that surrounds it. This cell membrane controls the internal environment of the cell by allowing fluids, nutrients, etc. to flow in and out. It is therefore important to have both a good, healthy environment inside your body and cell membrane layer. What makes up your environment and your membranes? The building blocks from your cell membrane come from the food you eat. Your cells use the nutrients that you feed it to replicate and grow. Cells made up of deep fried french fries versus a green salad will be created differently simply because of the raw materials you use. You literally are made up of what you eat. The reason that diseases “run in the family” is because beliefs, behaviours, and structures run in the family. An interesting study found that people who were considered to be the “black sheep” of the family, tended to not suffer the same diseases as the rest of the family. Ill health occurs because you did not make the change in your life when you needed to make it. Change could be physical such as in exercise and diet, stress related, work, relationships, speaking up, etc. When life is calling you to be or do one thing and you resist, tension starts to build up in your body and your spine and if not resolved, your body may start to get signals.

Believe it or not, our body is designed to bring inspiration and pleasure. Ever watch olympic athletes and marvel at what is possible for our human body? Those athletes push their body to the maximum and to new limits, breaking records and dazzling audiences. Billions of people around the world are inspired to cheer or get involved in athletics themselves. A 100m race is over in less than 10 seconds and each athlete is so fine tuned and aware that they know what each body part is doing at any given moment. There exists within us a great intelligence. This innate intelligence allows us to heal ourselves. Dr. Christiane Northrup says “It is possible to thrive in a body instead of simply waiting for disease to happen. It boils down to this: Regardless of our individual circumstances, each of us has inner guidance available that we can tune in to in order to create vibrant health- now. We are born with this inner guidance, which comes in the form of the emotions and desires that lead us toward things that feel good and are good for us, and away from things that feel bad. It is that simple.” Our body is in a constant state of flux. Cells in our body die and regenerate all the time. Our red blood cells live about 120 days while white blood cells live more than a year. Skin cells live about 2-3 weeks and colon cells die off after about 4 days. If we cut our finger or break a bone, our body can heal from it. We don’t question this. So, why is it that we don’t believe we can heal from low back pain or neck pain, or even cancer? If our body has a healing intelligence, why is it we only believe it works for the “small” things and not the “big” things? Cut and bruises are ok, headaches are not. There is a limiting belief here. If our body is always regenerating, why is it that we still have the same hurts we had years ago? Patients come in all the time and tell me that their neck has been hurting since the car accident they had 15 years ago. The individual cells of the neck have already regenerated and so were not the same ones that got into the accident, so why hasn’t your body healed from that yet? It’s because it’s our consciousness that does the remembering. Our perceptions, thoughts, emotions, structures and behaviour patterns give off a certain vibration or frequency in the cell and that’s what is remembered. A cell must forget who it’s been and move beyond for healing to occur. Need some help connecting with the inner you? Give our office a call.

You may say, my medical doctor is an expert and studied medicine, they must know what’s best for me and my body. This is not entirely true. Your medical doctor has studied diseases and knows a lot of information, they are not however, an expert on you. Sometimes when I ask someone “tell me what you think is wrong with you.”, they will answer, “you tell me, you’re the doctor”. We’ve been trained to look outside ourselves for the answer instead of searching within. The truth is, you are an expert in your own body. No one is more knowledgeable about your body than you. If you’re thinking, “oh, no”, then it’s time to now get better acquainted with your own body and start to become aware of the messages that it’s trying to tell you. When I went through chiropractic school, I was taught how to recognise all types of diseases, illness, pathologies and how to treat them. What they did not teach me is how to help someone who is well. We didn’t look at people who were doing well, without symptoms and ask, how can they function at an even higher level than they are now? Doctor’s learn to identify and treat disease and they are well trained in what they do. They don’t know if you are well. Wellness is your domain. When people go to the medical doctor for their regular checkups, they are not looking to see if they are well, they are looking to see if you are “sick” in some way. It is possible to have a disease and to be well, emotionally, mentally and spiritually as wellness is not merely the absence of disease. Next time someone gives you health information, do your own research and inform yourself before making your decision. Remember that there are no ‘side effects’, there are only effects.
