Reflection in Ashland OH

There is something amazing about rivers. We all can name a few! The Ohio, Mississippi, the Colorado. Even around the world, the Nile in Egypt and the Amazon in South Americas; rivers bring life and they flow into something greater in size and volume all for the greater good of the planet we call Earth.

Even the Bible mentions rivers "There is a river whose streams shall make glad the city of God." Psalms 34:4 Rivers bring life, joy, abundance, and sustenance to where they flow.

When we are speaking to patients we compare the Flow of Life from the brain to the well spring where life starts in the human body. This life flows like a river, down the spinal cord, and over the nerves to every cell, tissue , muscles, and organs. The heart, the lungs, the stomach, and every organ in your body must get its information from the nerve system in order to work and coordinate to make you function!

God actually put the most amazing healing power in your brain and all the messages have to flow from the brain like a river, down the spinal cord, which is in your spine, out to your body. So for your heart to beat, your lungs to breathe, headaches, lower back pain and sciatica to heal, or even a simple cut to heal, information has to go from the brain though the nerve system like a river, to all the cells, tissues, muscles, and organs in your body. Without the messages flowing, the body begins to break down. Chronic dis-ease, elevated blood pressure, and even chronic pain are often a result of interference between the brain-body connection.

You need flow! You got that? Life flows like a river. If you stop the well-spring, rivers stop, and if the messages of life stop, you stop. Poor posture and repetitive stress on our spine displaces bones and interferes with this communication system. The problem is, most of the time we don't feel this until the problem is very advanced. This is why many people do not know that they have heart disease or cancer until it is in the later stages. The body tries to adapt and compensate as much as it can until finally there is too much disease or damage in the system, and it must send you a signal to tell you something is wrong.

Symptoms are signals in your body that say, "Hey! What's going on? Why am I having this problem? You need to fix me!" Instead of fixing the problem, what do we do? We ignore it or cover it up with a medication and pretend it went away. When most people take a medication, it is supposed to be temporary, but how many people do you know that are now on medications for the rest of their life? Maybe you are on some of those medications. Taking a medication doesn't make the problem go away. It only makes the symptom go away. The problem itself only gets worse. Except now, you don't know it's getting worse because you've masked the symptom. Health begins to deteriorate, little by little. More symptoms arise, but they too are masked by medications, until nothing else can be done and disease becomes irreversible. Ask yourself, is taking medications actually making me healthy? A person in true health has no need for medications. Do you want to continue to mask the symptom, or find the cause and correct the cause? This is the only way to restore your body back to health. Most people know this is true, but they don't know what the answer is.

"If all the medicine in the world were thrown into the sea, it would be bad for the fish and good for humanity" -O.W. Holmes (Prof. of Med. Harvard University)

"Drugs never cure disease. They merely hush the voice of nature's protest, and pull down the danger signals she erects along the pathway of transgression. Any poison taken into the system has to be reckoned with later on even though it palliates present symptoms. Pain may disappear, but the patient is left in a worse condition, though unconscious of it at the time." -Daniel H. Kress, M.D.

"Why would a patient swallow a poison because he is ill, or take that which would make a well man sick" L.F Kebler, M.D.

Please call, we can check your nerve system and the communication links. If you don't fix you-you suffer. The problem gets worse, dis-ease sets in, and your quality of life goes down. Today you now know the answer.

In Health,
