Graduation

I recently graduated valedictorian of my class. My wife and I were fortunate enough to be able to have our very close friends and family present to celebrate to occasion. I used the opportunity to share a story to help illustrate how we are tempted daily into rationalizing our health away. This is a great excerpt from a recent sermon I heard from Northland Church out of Longwood, FL by pastor Vernon Rainwater.

How Satan Temps Us
Pastor Vernon Rainwater

The temptations of satan are not always obvious to our conscious mind. Satan would be easy to avoid if every time he tried to tempt us he appeared in his little red suit with a three-pronged pitch fork. Unfortunately, this is not how it works. Satan doesn’t care how he gets us, he just wants to get us.
Remember the story of Adam and Eve where satan is tempting Eve to eat the forbidden fruit. Eve says she was instructed by God not to eat from the tree or she would die. Genesis 3 states “ Surely Eve, you will not die if you eat this fruit, but in fact you will become like God.” Satan does just enough to get Eve to cross the boundary stating that there is nothing wrong with eating fruit, surely this particular fruit can be no different. It was at this very moment that Jesus began his journey to the cross.
Satan will use things that don’t even seem THAT bad to get us. Was there anything wrong with the fruit? No, but it was commanded by God not to eat it. And we do the same things in our lives everyday.

Here’s a twist on the age old Bible story of Genesis 1:1 to help illustrate the point:
In the beginning God created the Heavens and the Earth and he populated the Earth with broccoli, spinach, green and yellow vegetables and fruits of all kinds so that man and woman would live long and healthy lives.
Then, using God’s great gifts satan created Ben & Jerry’s ice cream and Krispy Kreme Donuts…and satan said “You want chocolate with that?” And man said yes and woman said as long as you’re at it, add some sprinkles.
AND THEY GAINED 10 lbs….and satan smiled.
Then God said “Try my fresh garden salad.” And satan presented thousand-island dressing, buttery croutons, and bacon-bits with Garlic toast on the side. And man and woman unfastened their belts following the repast.
Then God said “I have sent you heart healthy vegetables and olive oil in which to cook them. And satan brought forth deep fried fish and chicken fried steak so big that it needed its own platter. And man gained more weight and his cholesterol went through the roof.
Then God created a white fluffy food named Angel Cake and said “It is good.” And then satan created chocolate cake and named it “Devil’s Cake.”
So then God brought forth running shoes so his children might lose those extra pounds. But Satan gave them cable TV with remote controls so man would not have to toil with getting up and changing the channels. Man and woman laughed and cried before the flickering blue light, and yes….continued to gain pounds.
Then God put forth the potato naturally low-in-fat and brimming with nutrition. Satan cut off the healthful skin and sliced the starchy center into chips and deep-fried them.
And then God gave them lean beef and Satan said “You do want fries with that?” And man replied “Yes, super-sized!” And satan said “It is good!”
And then Man went into cardiac arrest. God sighed and created quadruple bypass surgery. And then Satan created HMO’s.

The nature of your Enemy is that he doesn’t care HOW he gets you. He just wants to get you. And usually he will get you by adding to the things that God has already said are good.

Commentary:
Pastor Hal Haller from my church has a friend named Orly that has two kids and a wife and was just recently diagnosed with primary brain cancer with a prognosis of 7 months to live. Unfortunately, Orly has had this brain cancer developing for at least 7-9 YEARS before it was even able to be diagnosed. Two weeks before being diagnosed he was at Disney with his family enjoying a vacation. The week after they got back to "normal" life he started having blurred vision, weakness in his right arm, and headaches. After going to the doctor, he was diagnosed with the brain cancer.
HOW MUCH DID THIS CHANGE THE LIFE OF HIS FAMILY???
I'm sure it's hard for any of us to imagine the circumstances, but the reality is that this could happen to any one of us at any moment.
How much would Orly's family pay to get this removed if they could? ANYTHING!!!
Would they take out a 2nd mortgage on their house to cover expenses? OF COURSE!!!
Would they fly/drive across the country to get this treated? ABSOLUTELY!!!
Literally, they would do WHATEVER it took and so would you if you were put in the same situation.
So, WHY DON'T WE DO THE SAME TO PREVENT THESE THINGS IN THE FIRST PLACE??
Like I said earlier, cancer is constantly developing in our bodies and takes at least 7-9 years before it is "detectable." Most of us have strong enough immune systems to fight it off and keep the cancer cells from reproducing, therefore making the cancer "undectable" and not able to be diagnosed. However, if we are not living our lives the way God intended and not treating our bodies like the temple of God, we make ourselves more susceptible to degenerative disease such as cancer and heart disease.
Make the committment to yourself and your family to make a positive change for your health this holiday season. God will honor your decision.
With Love,
Dr. Matt

Thimerosal not Harmful....Think AGAIN!!!

For those of you that do not yet know the dangers of thimerosal you MUST check out this video. I've been saying for years that thimerosal in vaccines is dangerous and destroys brain tissue. Research was done at the University of Calgary and they show the results about thimerosal and its damaging effects on this video. Thimerosal is mercury that has aluminum added to it and is used as a preservative in almost ALL vaccines. When aluminum is added to the mercury it compounds the effects of the mercury by almost 400X.



Don't miss out on this precious gem of research. Tell all your loved ones not to get vaccinated until they have seriously researched the effects. If they do not know where to turn. Tell them to email me and I will point them to some great information that helps to show how God never intended for these harmful chemicals to enter our bodies.

The Principle of True Healing Part II of IV

In order for your body to heal and function properly it MUST be communicating with the brain without any interference in the nervous system. I recently did a backpack safety talk to a class of second graders and the first question I posed was "What organ controls all funtions in the body?" It didn't take long before every hand in the room was up because they ALL knew the answer....the BRAIN!!!
However, as we get older we tend to forget this obvious truth because of the bombardment of lies from the current medical model that tells us that we can only achieve health by taking the latest pill, vaccination, or doing the latest diet or exercise plan. This is simply NOT true. God put all the information in our brain for our body to heal properly and as long as that information is not interfered with somewhere down the line, then our body will heal and function the way that it was designed.
Let me explain. In order for your brain to communicate with your organs, muscles, skin, eyes, etc. it must send messages back and forth through the nervous system. Our nervous system is composed of the spinal cord and the nerves that come from the spinal cord. These nerves that come out of the spinal cord connect to every organ, tissue, and cell in our entire body. Our nervous system is so fragile and delicate that it must be protected. In fact, the only two organs in our entire body that are completely encased in a hard covering (bone) are the brain and the spinal cord. As long as there is no damage to the nervous system, then the brain can communicate its messages properly and the body will function and heal optimally.
Here's the kicker:
The bones of the spine are individual, moveable segments. Therefore, if moved out of there proper position, those bones can put a damaging pressure on that delicate nervous tissue. That pressure on the nervous system is termed SUBLUXATION. Subluxation is a damaging, degenerative condition of the nervous system that interferes with the brain-body connection. If left uncorrected, subluxation can begin to shut down the nervous system energy to the organs, tissues, and cells of the body.
For example, if subluxation was found to be putting pressure on the nerve that goes to your heart, your heart would not be functioning properly. You may have heart arrythmias, murmurs, or a rapid heart beat as the first signs/symptoms. However, if that subluxation is not corrected for years then the interference will begin to destroy the cells of the heart and cause the heart to begin to malfunction. As the heart malfunctions, heart disease begins to ensue which eventually leads to a heart attack. Heart attacks lead to heart tissue death. Heart tissue death leads to heart failure which will kill you.
That's the seriousness of having a properly working nervous system. This is literally the missing link in health care and disease prevention. The best thing about this philosophy for health and disease prevention is that it is in perfect alignment with Biblical healing (laying of hands) and the principles of health set forth by God.
Tell your friends.

What Would You Do For Your Child?

Today's post is going to be a bit different. Matt is out of town taking his Chiropractic Board Exams so I'm taking the liberty of writing a post from my perspective. Instead of quoting all the scientific facts and research, I"m gonna be a girl, and write from my heart.

Most of you out there will probably agree that if you are a parent or are going to be a parent in the future that you want what is best for your kids. You would agree that there are very few lengths that you wouldn't go to ensure that your kids live a healthy, happy life. You would also agree that you want the best chance for your family to reach it's God-Given potential. And, yet, most of us are not allowing this to happen. Without even realizing it, most children are behind the eight ball before they're even a week old, and they'll never have the opportunity to reach their maximum potential.
For all the frustrating times that we see people not get it; not grasp that they can do something to help their families, something that's non-invansive, affordable, and life-changing, there's a story of families that get it. And, those are the stories that remind me it's possible to make a difference.
Here's one such story. Gary & Lorilee are from Atlanta. They were adopting a baby that was going to be born in Florida. So, when they got the call in the middle of the night, three weeks early, that the bioglogical mom was going into labor, they hopped in the car and made the 6 hour drive to Florida. The baby was born in Ocala, FL on Sunday 11/4/07 (for those of you that don't know, it's up near Gainesville, a good hour and a half from Orlando). Gary & Lorilee have been educated chiropractic patients themselves and wanted their baby adjusted by a principled chiropractor as soon as possible. Since the baby wasn't born in their hometown, they couldn't go to their regular chiropractor. Instead of just waiting a couple of weeks until they got back home, they looked for one that would take care of them right away.

In order to accomplish this, they made the drive to Orlando, to Dr. Erik Lerner's office (where Matt and I are working) so that he could give baby Jonah his first adjustment at just four days old. Now that's someone who gets it. Someone who has trust in one of the best chiropractor's in the world. Someone who knows that through Dr. Erik's adjustment, God will work in baby Jonah's body and will open up the opportunity for him to reach his maximum potential.


Would you do that for your family??

Know anyone with kids diagnosed with ADD/ADHD?

Is ADD/ADHD a hoax? Read this article to find out how simply this "disease" can be treated by supplementation with no side effects at all.

Omega-3 supplements rapidly eliminate ADD, ADHD and bipolar disorder in children
by Mike Adams
Researchers at Massachusetts General Hospital have reported that omega-3 fatty acid is highly effective in treating children with ADD, ADHD and bipolar disorder. The study was reported in the journal European Neuropsychopharmacology in February 2007."Results from this prospective, open study of monotherapy with omega-3 fatty acids in the over-the-counter product OmegaBrite suggest that manic symptoms can be rapidly reduced in youths with BPD with a safe and well-tolerated nutritional supplement," wrote lead researcher Dr. Janet Wozniak.
The high-EPA supplement of Omega-3 fatty acids, called OmegaBrite, was tested for effectiveness and safety on 20 boys and girls with bipolar disorder, ages 6 to 17 years old, over an eight-week period. Half of the participants experienced a rapid 30 percent reduction in symptoms with no side effects."What this study shows is that every child with ADD, bipolar or any other mood disorder should be on OmegaBrite," said Dr. John Ratey, author of the best-selling Driven to Distraction and a well-respected expert on ADD. "And the only side effect is a longer life." "This is great news for parents," said Dr. Carol Locke, who served on the Harvard Medical School faculty for 14 years before creating OmegaBrite. "Parents are always struggling with how best to help their children.
It is incredibly gratifying to develop a product that offers a safe mood stabilizer and natural anti-depressant."The study demonstrated that supplements reduced the participating children's Young Mania Rating Scale scores (YMRS) -- the standard rating scale for children with bipolar disorder -- by 30 percent.
The same research team conducted a similar study with risperidone or olanzapine, the two most commonly prescribed drugs for the disorder. The pharmaceuticals treated the children's disorders but led to side effects including diabetes.Other commonly prescribed drugs such as lithium, divalproex and carbamazepine are only minimally effective or fraught with adverse effects, the researchers noted."EPA and DHA are essential fatty acids that the body cannot make so we must obtain them in our diet, which is very hard to do, or by supplements," said Locke. "An imbalance of omega-6 and omega-3 can result in an overall inflammatory response and related disorders such as depression, cardiac disease, cancer, dementia, asthma and rheumatoid arthritis."Locke concluded, "Over the next five years, we will see Omega-3 fatty acids become a foundation of health."
ADHD is a fictitious disease invented by the pharmaceutical industry to sell amphetamine drugs to children.
The conventional medical industry doesn't want to talk about nutritional cures for diseases or disorders because they know that if consumers were made aware of how simply and inexpensively these conditions could be resolved with nutrition, sales of pharmaceuticals would plummet. Symptoms of ADHD are easily eliminated in 80 percent of children within two weeks by merely supplementing with omega-3 oils and eliminating processed foods (especially refined sugars) from kids' diets.The psychiatric industry does not promote nutrition as a method for preventing or treating depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD or other mental or behavioral conditions. Instead, it works to keep consumers ignorant of such solutions and pretends that these diseases are caused by "brain chemistry imbalances" that can only be corrected with synthetic patented chemicals (pharmaceuticals).
Essentially, modern psychiatry believes that all such disorders are caused by a pharmaceutical deficiency. This belief conveniently serves the profit motives of the drug companies which now virtually run modern psychiatry.

Information about OmegaBrite can be found at http://www.omegabrite.com/


Comments:
If we were eating the foods that were designed and intended for our bodies in the first place, there would never be an imbalance of the essential fatty acids, thus ADD/ADHD would not exist and there would be no reason for omega-3 supplementation. However, since we live in a broken world there are nutritional imbalances that must be supplemented. The fact that our food sources are no longer viable resources for the amount of nutrition that we need places a NEED for these supplements to restore balance and harmony on the cellular level.

The Principle of True Healing Part I of IV


In order for your body to heal as God intended it too, there are some issues that must be addressed. TIME magazine came out with an article that interviewed doctors at the top 100 hospitals throughout the country and asked them "What scares you most about our current healthcare system?" The most common answer was...."BEING THE PATIENT!!!" If that doesn't raise your eyebrows, then I don't know what will. After reading the article, I realized that the doctors struggled with putting faith in the exact same system that they were putting people through every single day. They were scared to death to bring themselves or their family members through the current medical system. Why? Because the current medical model is only interested in treating symptoms. It is not interested in curing disease.


Two weeks after the TIME article, Business Week published an article titled "Medical Guesswork." This article highlighted the details of how the medical profession and the way they treat disease and illness is not even an exact science. In fact, researchers claimed that only 15% of medical treatments are backed by solid research, while the other 85% of treatments are just based on rules and traditions. Furthermore, the article stated that Medical doctors are being taught their continuing education hours by the pharmaceutical companies. Do you think the pharmaceutical companies have YOUR best interest in mind? I can assure you they do NOT. They are only interested in treating your symptoms enough to make you feel better so that the REAL cause of your illness/disease will be masked until it gets to the point that you need another medication, test, or surgery. They do not want to CURE you! There is no money in cures for them.


However, there is MAJOR money in treating symptoms and keeping people sick. Think about it. When you get started on a medication, does the doctor ever tell you...."Ok, we will have to put you on this medication because it will save your life and make you feel better for now, but there is a deeper issue here that we need to start addressing so that your body will function the way that it is supposed to."??? They NEVER say this. They are only interested in treating your symptoms. Do you think God intened for us to NEED medications in order to be comfortable and sustain life? The answer is a resounding NO.


In fact, 95%-97% of the "diseases" treated by the medical profession are due to lifestyle issues that were completely preventable in the first place. Some of these completely preventable "diseases" include but are not limited too....heart disease, cancer, diabetes, obesity, alzeheimer's, crohn's, IBS, stroke, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, low back pain, headaches, restless leg syndrome, depression, etc.



The point of this whole post boils down to the 1st Principle of Healing:


- You MUST remove yourself from the medical model

- Medications are poisonous and will kill you

- If medications MUST be used, they should be used short term only, until the true cause is determined

- This "magic pill" philosophy is an outside-in philosophy that falsely claims that our bodies need synthetic man-made chemicals/vaccines/medications in order to function properly

- The medical model of health is in DIRECT contradiction to what true health and healing is

- Your body cannot heal properly with synthetic, poisonous chemicals destroying your health at a cellular level

DANGER LURKING IN FLU SHOTS!!!


I just sent this article out to all my family and friends to ensure they were reminded of the dangers of vaccinations before the "flu season" comes around again this year. Research has shown for quite some time now that vaccinations are very dangerous and this article just further supports that perspective. Check out earlier postings to see how to build your immunity and your body's ability to heal and function at its highest potential naturally without falling prey to the lies of the Big Pharmaceutical companies. You do NOT have to vaccinate!

Are you an Optimist or a Pessimist? The Answer may effect your health!


JUST RELAX!!!
Check out this research from the book "Emotional Intelligence":


A research study was done with 122 men who had experienced their first heart attack and were then evaluated on their degree of optimism or pessimism. Eight years later, of the 25 most pessimistic men, 21 had died; of the 25 most optimistic just 6 had died.

Optimism and hope provide healing power to overcome even the most adverse situations like heart disease in the example above. How you react emotionally will have broad consequences for your immediate and future health.

Getting your physical stress (subluxations) removed will greatly improve your body’s ability to function and heal. Naturally, less physical stress will lead to a more positive outlook on life.
Did you know that anxiety and stress lead to a direct reduction in immune function, decreasing the body’s ability to fight disease?
A Yale study linked stress to the following:
  • increased vulnerability to viral infections (decreased immune function)
  • increased plaquing of the arteries (heart disease)
  • accelerating diabetes
  • triggering or worsening asthma attacks
  • stomach or intestinal ulcers
  • decreased memory
  • many others

Do YOU know anyone suffering from these? They MUST get their nervous system interferences removed! It is crucial to their survival. Join us in our mission to save lives through preventative health care. Remember, if your friends and family are waiting until they get sick before they do something about their health they are living in the medical model. This medical model is allowing 5 of 6 of our dear loved ones to die of heart disease or cancer. YOU must take responsibility and educate yourself about TRUE health and healing.

Welcome

Allow me to introduce the all natural health blog with the latest and most up to date information about true healing. I promise to always put the most accurate and current health information that will lead you to peak performance from your body.

The basic philosophy behind A.D.I.O. Health is the Above-Down-Inside-Out principle most commonly used by chiropractors. This ADIO principle states that there is an amazing power within our brain and nervous system that has the ability to heal the body of all sickness, illness, and disease. As long as this amazing power is able to express itself fully without interference, then the body will be able to function at peak performance with the ability to defeat MOST invaders without any symptoms. In the case that there is a strong enough attack on the body that the nervous system cannot adjust to the invaders before symptoms occur, the body will be able to recover much quicker with a healthy nervous system compared to the recovery of a nervous system with interference.

Interference is defined as thoughts, traumas, or toxins which negatively effect the brain and nervous system. These interferences then block the healing power of the brain and nervous system from fully reaching its potential, thus compromising the health of the individual. When we remove these interferences from the body, the nervous system is again able to resume it's role of healing to its full potential.



After all, the Power that Made the Body, HEALS the body!


IT HAPPENS NO OTHER WAY!!!
