Pain Relief Guaranteed - Or It's Free! Denver, CO

I recently had a brief online comment discussion with a colleague regarding health and the human experience. I had made a comment regarding a quote by Thomas Jefferson that used health as an analogy for a political issue.

The discussion evolved to considerations that essentially concerned the quality of health. We were each approaching the subject from different angles which pointed out some unique observational perspectives.

The World Health Organization defines health as: "Optimum physical, mental and emotional well-being, and not merely the absence of disease."

Some would see the word optimum and sense that it is a potentially unattainable state. If it is unattainable what does one have if not at the "optimum" level? Is it a lack of health? Does one lack for enjoyment if not at optimum? Should one self criticize if not there?

It seems there is a sliding scale involved. And like all things a sliding scale may be applied to, the level of comfort, contentment, or happiness on the scale is determined by the one experiencing it. This allows one to be both content with what has been achieved, as well as the option to pursue greater.

And ultimately a point that many have often overlooked, is that simply being disease-free is not the equivalent of being healthy. The sliding scale is like a flowing river, nothing is static. Your choices and actions are constantly moving you toward greater or lesser health.

Both the quantity and duration of abnormal functions are factors leading to states one may label as disease. But on the sliding scale, one must often move for quite a period of time through "less health" before reaching that label state.

Are you healthy during that period?

Health, like life itself, requires constant effort.

It's never too late to do a good thing.

I love to use analogies. They really work for me and I find I can communicate ideas pretty well to others with them. So here’s one about how your brain works.

 

Who remembers the kinetic watches? They had a battery in them that stayed charged up from the movement and motion of your wrist and arm as you went about your daily activities. And as long as there was movement and the battery was charged, the battery powered the watch and all was well.

 

Well, your body runs and charges your brain in much the same fashion. That’s why there are a plethora of studies that indicate exercise is equally as effective for combating depression as any medication ever made. Movement has a powerful impact on brain function.

 

But more specifically, there is an area of sensory input for your brain that is more powerful than all the others. The most powerful area of sensory input for your brain is from the mechanoreceptors located in your spine and its joints.

 

When you maintain full, normal, appropriate motion of all your spinal segments, your brain is “fed” energy via sensory input at a few hundred cycles (signals) per second. So again, movement charges the brain, and the brain in return has the power to control and coordinate the body and its functions, as well as to maintain normal moods, emotions, behaviors and processing power.

 

When you have areas of limited movement or mobility in your spinal joints, the sensory input is slowed down and the brain becomes “sluggish” in regards to all functions it performs.

 

This is just another of the many reasons that every human benefits from proper chiropractic spinal care.

No matter where you stand on this, even if it is contrary to mine or someone else's, we should all be outraged at the attacks on personal health freedom that are occurring from the hysteria and inappropriate government actions on this issue.

And on that, we should all be agreeing to support one another and our own personal freedoms and choices. Even when our choices are not similar.

Many have spent countless lifetimes attempting to find the best way to fight and ward off disease processes. Many avenues of treatment have been scoured, and many techniques make claims. The magic pill, potion, silver bullet and fountain of youth are holy grails in the arena of medicine.

 

Medicine, by its original definition, is the treatment of disease. And each disease seems to have researchers and proponents advocating a different solution. In a strictly Newtonian world, this makes logical sense.

 

But we don’t live in a Newtonian world, and that is especially evident within the experience of a human body.

 

Indeed, in the fight against disease, western medicine will never succeed. It’s on the wrong side of reality. It’s stuck in an old Newtonian world.

 

There is no cure for disease. Not a single one. Not for any disease process. There are ways to manipulate symptoms, feelings, and chemical responses in the biology of a body, but none get rid of disease.

 

Because there is only one cause of disease - the absence of health.

 

Dis-ease = loss of ease = loss of health. And you can’t fight the loss of, or the absence of something. You can only create or recreate that something.

 

When you have darkness can you fight it? Ultimately you can only create or recreate the light, and then the darkness is “gone”. The same with disease and health. You can only use tools, methods, and processes that create or restore health.

 

Health: “Optimum physical, emotional and social well-being, and not merely the absence of dis-ease.” (World Health Organization) And optimum, in the experience of a biological organism like a human, has to be created and sustained from within. Not from the constant manipulation of symptoms or chemical reactions from the outside.
