I recommend everyone do at least TWO solid months of detox per year, but I would prefer the pursuit of a lifestyle that promotes detoxification. This month is all about detox, from the awesome Detox night we had Monday at Towne View Baptist along with Exodus Healthcare. And now heading into our Hair Analysis, and BIA anlysis… we will have many of you learn A LOT about your needs to be clean, and where those needs are greatest.

So what do you need to know about the Challenge? First off, if you are doing this right,

This coming Monday night you have our Home and Body detox workshop along with Dr. David Jockers, located at Towne View Baptist Church. The event is $5 if you pay today (Friday), after today it is $10. Over the years, I have taught 6 different detox workshops, and I have taught them a combined 18 times.

Researchers found that the reduction of upper-cervical subluxations resulted in a stabilization of plasma glucose levels during a three-hour fasting period. Subluxations are what chiropractors correct, and here, what we focus on correcting for life long help.

In allopathic medicine, a subluxation is a partial dislocation. In chiropractic, a vertebral subluxation is described as a spinal vertebra has lost its correct juxtaposition with one or both of its adjacent vertebrae to a degree less than a luxation in such a way as to impinge upon nerves and get in the way of the proper transmission of impulses, upsetting general health and causing dis-ease. Sounds simple?

Most of you know I don’t eat Pork. I choose not to because I simply believe that if God said not to, then it must have been for good reason. I tend to seem legalistic to people when they look at my choices to follow certain areas of God’s Law. I am not legalistic, I don’t believe you have to “earn Grace”. I just want to be honoring. It is tough to follow the basic laws, don’t lie, steal, covet… because our minds wander and are quick to respond. So if I get to choose not to eat Pork, well, I find that much easier to follow.

In the last few years the word Detox has been popping up all over the place. It is truly a buzz word of the current culture’s desire to try to rectify the problems we have created of toxin rich living. Sadly, most people don’t have an understanding of what it takes to detoxify.

In most cases, it is just a buzz word, as products are created that are designed to increase the amount of colon movement (if you are sitting on the toilet, you must be getting clean), and others are designed to keep you sweating or feeling like you are burning up your toxic load. Though there are benefits to increasing metabolic rate, and obvious benefits to increased colon function, this is not the true focus of detoxification.

Have you ever heard of The Blue Zones? Well, they are places in the world where people live longer and healthier than anywhere else on earth. Several of these blue zones exist, and in each of these places people living to 90 or even 100 years of age is common! And they aren’t just living long- they are living healthy, without medication or disability- That’s incredible!!!

So I was watching some TV the other night while folding and hanging clothes, and a commercial came on for Abilify. I always perk my ears up for the drug commercials, as they provide great material to talk about in the office, and to write about if worthy. I actually had to stop and make sure my wife hadn’t changed the channel to Saturday Night Live re-runs, as it sounded like this commercial must be a skit. It wasn’t.

This is the list of what I heard…

Stress Kills – By Intern Mike Moss In this day and age, people have to be pro-active about their health.  We are no longer living in the environment that our genetic code has been groomed for over the years that humans have existed.   During this time, our bodies have adapted the unique ability to deal with physical and mental stress in a healthy and constructive way.  In the modern day civilized society, the ways that we deal with stress are often times  counterproductive and actually Destructive to our overall health.  One of the biggest killers in our nation is stress, […]

I have had the opportunity to work with patients with almost every different disease or condition out there. One of the most critical ways I have been able to help these people (beyond improving nervous system function) has been to help them run hard to win. I don’t believe this is any message from me, but rather one that I am simply good at delivering.
