Some wisdom for the new year
Lighten up. "If only we'd stop trying to be happy, we'd have a pretty good time." Edith Wharton
You don't need much. "All you need for happiness is a good gun, a good horse and a good wife." Daniel Boone
Be humble. "Never take top billing, you'll last longer that way." Bing Crosby
Look within. "Never believe in mirrors or newspapers." Jon Osborne
Don’t be afraid of germs
Today news stories are all about germs causing infections, epidemics, and pandemics with new a "variant" ready to get us. What if germs didn't cause disease?
Germs are all around us. We breathe germs all the time, they inhabit every nook and cranny of our body; we have a balanced relationship with them.
Our obsession with germs is based on the germ theory. It was born when the microscope was discovered, and germs were found in sick people. The theory says that every disease is caused by a different germ. There's only problem with this theory - it has never been proven. In fact, the opposite has been proven.
The alternative
The hygienic system has been around for thousands of years and has survived the test of time. It says that germs don't make you sick, rather when your body is sick (malnourished, toxic, subluxated, tired, weak, stressed) germs appear to eat weak, diseased, dying, and toxic tissue.
When your tissues are strong, infections don't exist, the billions of germs always in and around us don't grow out of control.
Don't be scared of germs
The bottom line is that healthy people simply don't get other people sick. Sick people don't make people sick. Stop being scared of germs; they have their place. You can't escape them from entering your body unless you stop eating, drinking and beathing. There are many valid reasons why people in the same household come down with similar symptoms, but germs are not one of them. It's an unproven superstition.
In experiments, sick people were placed near healthy volunteers, sat close to them, sneezed on them, coughed on them, and even had bodily fluids placed in their noses and mouths. None of the volunteers got sick.
Underlining that was a report in in the British Medical Journal that "asymptomatic transmission of disease" does not exist. A study of almost 10 million people found "no evidence of asymptomatic transmission." People without symptoms don't make people sick. (2) So much for the logic behind masks.
What to do?
Get back to basics - healthy food, (avoid junk), good sleep, good relationships, clean water, plumbing, sewage, waste disposal - these are what have gotten rid of the plagues of the past. It was never vaccines or drugs.
The best foods to use are raw milk from grass-fed cows and goats, olive oil, coconut oil, butter, cream, ghee, lard, and tallow as fats/oils. Also get a good water filter to remove toxic chlorine, fluoride, and other chemicals.
To give your health a boost, get chiropractic care! Life is full of stress, falls, and accidents; your body will function better and be stronger with chiropractic care. Other forms of natural care that, like chiropractic, remove blockages to energy and healing are traditional homeopathy, acupuncture, traditional osteopathy, traditional naturopathy, and many traditional detoxification practices.

Your amazing vision
Vision is a mystery. From an evolutionary standpoint (chance mutation) it is impossible. Even Darwin admitted it. Your visual system has too many parts: brain, retina, optic nerve, eyeball and more that had to be organized to create a visual system that works as a complete unit. By chance? Impossible. Look at this:
One eye consists of more than two million working parts!
Your eyeballs are the same size since birth; nose, ears continue to grow.
Your eyes are the 2nd most complex organ in your body (after the brain).
Your eye can detect over 10 million colors (but not ultraviolet or infrared).
Tears keep your eyes clean, but scientists don't know why we cry.
Eyes are protected in a hollowed eye socket, eyebrows prevent sweat dripping into your eyes, eyelashes keep dirt out of your eyes.
Only 1/6 of the human eyeball is exposed.
Corneas are the only tissues that don't have blood.
An eye cannot be transplanted. More than 1 million nerve fibers connect each eye to the brain; we're not able to reconstruct those connections.
A fingerprint has 40 unique characteristics, but an iris has 256; that is why retina scans are increasingly being used for security purposes.
Researching Chiropractic
Chiropractic clinical case histories have been a regular feature of our patient newsletter since its inception. There seem to be no limit to the health problems that respond to chiropractic care. How many people suffering, on drugs, facing a life of limitation could be helped by chiropractic care?
Probably most of them.
Infertility, Conception, and Birth. A 31-year-old woman began chiropractic care because she had been unable to become pregnant for over a year. Vertebral subluxations were found and specific adjustments were delivered.
She had six visits over a 34-day period and reported being pregnant. She eventually gave birth to a healthy baby girl. (3)
Sleep Disturbance and Anxiety Disorder. A 28-year-old woman sought chiropractic care complaining of sleep disturbance, anxiety disorder and musculoskeletal symptoms. She was assessed pre- and post-care using EMG (electro myelography), X-ray, spinal head analysis, the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and the Hamilton Anxiety (HAM-A) questionnaires
Chiropractic care for subluxation correction was given twice weekly for three months.
The patient reported improvements in both musculoskeletal and non-musculoskeletal complaints and demonstrated marked reduction of sleep disorder and marked reduction of anxiety disorder. (4)
Breech birth. A 31-year-old pregnant woman began chiropractic care. She was diagnosed as having a transverse breech presentation by her obstetrician at 30 weeks' gestation.
A chiropractic "breech procedure", the Webster Technique, was utilized during her care.
She visited her chiropractor for seven visits over a three-week period of care. Her midwife confirmed that the baby had turned into a normal (vertex presentation). The mother went on to have a natural home birth thereafter. (5)
