Did you know that even babies need to be adjusted?

It is crucial for babies to be adjusted because the birth process is very traumatic on their tiny bodies. Even a completely natural birth can put their flexible spines out of alignment as they are pushed through the birth canal. But even more traumatizing is a C-section, where the doctor pulls and twists the baby's head, or a birth where forceps are used to forcibly pull the baby out. I adjusted my new granddaughter Emery within an hour after her birth to avoid any subluxation. Be sure to have your babies and children checked for subluxations that could be affecting their health now and will grow into a permanent problem.

Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it. (Proverbs 22:6)

Question: What causes allergies?

Answer: An unhealthy immune system

Question: What can you do about it?

Answer: Eat the innate diet, which consists of whole, real foods and primarily fresh fruits and vegetables full of fresh fiber, supplement with probiotics for a healthy digestive system, and stop taking anitbiotics, which kill your immune system.

My health tip verse of the day is III John 2: "Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth."

Plastics Are Poisonous

My health tip for today is vital to your wellness and quite simple to implement. When plastics are heated, they release the toxin dioxin into whatever they contain. Dioxin is known to cause cancer and is often found in breast cancer tissue. To avoid this lethal chemical, never heat any of your food in plastic in a microwave. Also, never leave water bottle in your car or any other plastic food container. Sheryl Crow admitted on the Ellen show that drinking from already heated plastic water bottles is what caused her breast cancer. If there is any possibility that your container will come in contact with heat, substitute the plastic container for glass or stainless steel. Or, simply switch to all glass and stainless steel containers. I leave you with our verse of the day, Psalm 84:10-12.

"For a day in thy courts is better than a thousand. I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.

For the LORD God is a sun and shield: the LORD will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.

O LORD of hosts, blessed is the man that trusteth in thee."

God blessed us with a wonderful miracle at 2:30 this morning: a beautiful seven pund, three ounce baby girl named Emery Justice Doll. I want to thank my Lord for protecting my daughter Jamie and for blessing us with this incredible gift. Here are some pictures so that you can see how beautiful she is!

 

 

The True Cause of Alzheimer's

Did you know that acid reflux and heartburn medications increase your chance of getting Alzheimer's? That's because these drugs create a deficiency in B12 and folic acid, deficiencies proven to double your risk of Alzheimer's. To avoid this increased risk, stop taking these drugs that only cover up your symptoms, and instead begin to correct the problem. First, you need to be on a good multivitamin (Intramax is the best), then get adjusted and let our office help you correct any digestive problems. Take control of your health and give your body the tools that it needs to do the job that God created it to do - keep you well! I live you with our verse of the day, Psalm 34:8:

"O taste and see that the LORD is good, blessed is the man that trusteth in him."

The Sunscreen You Should Use

Did you know that conventional sunscreen increases your risk of skin cancer? Be sure to use a natural sunscreen instead of a brand like Coppertone or other popular brands. Conventional sunscreen not only adds chemicals to your body which work with UV rays to foster cancer, but it also blocks your absorption of essential vitamin D. If you have been using a non-natural sunscreen, you are likely to be deficient in vitamin D and need to check your levels. We can have them tested for you. I leave you with the verse of the day, John 3:32, 36:

"And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free...If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed." 

Have a great weekend and live life well!

What Type of Water Are You Showering with?

I am sure you are aware that there is chlorine in your water. But are you aware of how dangerous this chlorine is? Chlorine is toxic. All you have to do is google "chlorine toxicity" and see what it says. When you shower, you absorb chlorine through your skin, and you breathe it in through your lungs. In one shower, your body will absorb ten times the amount of chlorine that you would ingest if you drank non-filtered water all day long. Chlorine is antagonistic to your thyroid function, and a low-functioning thyroid is one of the leading causes of breast cancer. The solution is two-fold. First, put a shower de-chlorinator on your shower head. Second, supplement with iodine, which most Americans are deficient in and which your thyroid also needs to function. This iodine will counterract any chlorine already in your body or any that you may inhale or absorb (for example when in or around a swimming pool). You can find a de-chlorinator at Home Depot, Lowe's, or at the link at the bottom of this post, and I supply a quality iodine supplement here at the office.  Take this major step in purifying your body on your journey to wellness. I leave you with our verse of the day, Phillipians 4:8: "Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report, if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things."

For additional information, go to http://druglessdoctor.com/tabid/2119/Default.aspx. This site also contains the best filter I have found so far. It will last 3-5 years as opposed to six months to a year like the filters that Home Depot and Lowe's offers.

Get Healthy with Blueberries

I love picking blueberries with my family every summer - they're loaded with antioxidants and great in smoothies. I recently read an article by Dr. Sherry Rogers that I want to share with you which explains even more wellness benefits of blueberries.

"With the blueberry season around the corner, how about really tanking up to increase your bone strength density? It turns out the delicious blueberry contains lots of God's healing phytochemicals and flavanoids that are potent cancer-killers and antioxidants. And blueberries' anthocyanidins actually help recycle your vitamins, plus they are anti-inflammatory and improve your blood vessel health. And get this. Blueberries prevent bone loss. Time to tank up and eat as many as you can a day while they are fresh and local (as opposed to those questionably fumigated, irradiated, pesticided, moldy ones from far away). How about a blueberry intestinal cleanse? Simply eat only blueberries for a few days. It will flood your system with phytonutrients while redusing your load of a multitude of toxins. You may even become a blueblood!"

(Dr. Sherry Rogers, "Blueberries for Bones?" in Total Wellness, June 2009)

Consider today's verse, Proverbs 3:8, "It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones." My recommended detox cleanse for blueberries involves only two steps. First, go down to Moorehead's Blueberry Farm on 1314 and work up a good detoxifying sweat picking blueberries for a few hours. Then, follow Dr. Roger's advice and eat nothing but blueberries for one to three days for a good cleanse of the toxins in your body. If you would like to see the best time to pick blueberries this week, go to http://www.moorheadsblueberryfarm.com/ and click on "Farm News" for an update by the owners. We hope to see you down there!

The Secret of the Stars

What do Tiger Woods, Michael Jordan, Bill Gates, Dan Morino, and David Beckham all have in common? Trainers. Someone who keeps them accountable and on target. We all get off track. That is human. We may get off track because we lose focus or because we simply didn't have the knowledge in the first place to keep us on track. The key is getting on back on track before you need a walker and a ventilator. Just as the greats need a personal trainer, we need a wellness coach to put us on course to wellness and keep us on course. Consider the following verse:

"He that getteth wisdom loveth his own soul: he that keepeth understanding shall find good." (Proverbs 19:8 KJV)

Remember that Dr. Clark is your personal wellness trainer, but you have to allow him to keep you accountable with your health. So on this Monday, commit to live life well by listening to and applying what your wellness coach teaches you, and be as successful as the greats in your journey toward wellness. Have a Happy Monday!

The Journey of Wellness

Wellness is a JOURNEY, not a destination. But, you must be headed in the RIGHT DIRECTION. More important than your level of health is which direction you are going. You can be healthy but headed toward disease, or you can be unhealthy and headed for wellness, based on your choices. You can't change your past, but you can change your future.

Consider Phillipians 3:13-14:

"Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended, but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, 

I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus."

Live Life Well!

 

Eat Well, Move Well, Live Well, THINK Well.

Consider our verse of the the day:

Trust in the Lord with all thine heart, and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths (Proverbs 3:5-6, KJV).

In addition to a healthy nervous system and a healthy body, an essential element of our health is a healthy mind. We achieve this by dwelling on positive things in our life throughout the day. There are many negative aspects of life that we have no control over, aspects that, if dwelled upon, will drag us down spiritually. However, we choose what we allow in our minds, and we can choose to think on positive things that God has blessed us with. This also allows us to focus on those things that we can change and make a difference in. And the best part is, God promises in Proverbs that if we acknowledge Him in all our ways (including our thoughts), He will guide each step throughout our day. And what could give us greater peace of mind than this certainty? So focus on building a healthy mind today and ask God to help you acknowledge Him throughout every single part of your day. Then let Him take care of the rest!

Dr. Clark and his family had a wonderful time in England, and we are so happy and thankful that they are home safe. They were able to see many of the historical sites in England, packing a lot of activities into the two weeks they were there. Here are some of their favorite pictures :)
