Church – The new site for Flu Shots?

You might have seen this on our Facebook Page recently.  The article was published on Mercola’s website earlier this week, and it is nothing less than shocking.  The meat of the article is that there was recently a call that was sponsored by the CDC and HHS department in conjunction with the White House Office of Faith Based and Neighborhood Partnerships. The call was first of all listed as “off the record” and “not for public purposes”.  That alone brings up the conspicuous meter pretty high.  So the call was published on the HHS web site however, so some outsiders were able […]

Cornucopia – Organic Farms

The Cornucopia Institute is a great organization that serves as a watchdog for the term “Organic” (among other things). They have been rating organic farms for years, and by doing so they have influenced my decision to not only buy organic, but to preferentially buy organic dairy with Horizon Foods, as my last choice.

Gratitude

Loved the message at Church yesterday. So I changed from writing an article about the cornucopia group and organic farms, to writing about gratitude. But do not fear, the other sprout will be out later this week!

So I am grateful, and sometimes I realize I am not grateful enough. I should be constantly so grateful that so many of you have signed up to listen to what I teach, and to see beyond me to a bigger picture of health and wellness. One that is not my model, it is the model of chiropractic, and that

HUG DAY!

No.  Not a national holiday.  Just another day in the world leading up to a National Holiday.  I love Thanksgiving, so much so that I want to hug someone.  So it might as well be you.  I wonder if those of you who read this, who never show up in my office, if you just might consider throwing down a few hugs on some random people today. Speaking of that, have you ever seen this?  Cool!  Recently shared by a patient whom I love, who always wants to shake off her “bad apple” appearance and change the world with love. […]

My Friend Steve!

I wanted to tell the story of Steve! I asked him, he added to it, so here it is.

Steve has been a patient for about five years, started getting adjusted by me shortly after he had started off with Watermarke church after it had launched. He was part of that initial steering team, and we spent time together with a few other men praying over the church most weeks. I have gotten to know him pretty well over the years.

Introduced him to CrossFit, which he now coaches some classes at my gym as a Level 1 certified coach, …

Expressing Health

What to expect after an adjustment? I don’t know. Honestly, we can make some very good assumptions, but the reality is that everyone and every adjustment will have a different result. BUT, there is a relative rule. The body will work better.

But what does that mean? It is a complicated thing to quantify what working better really means. If you are feeling “sick”. you’ll hear us refer to that as “expressing health”. I’ll get to that in a minute, but lets start by asking what a symptom is. I know that about 70% of you, would quickly answer “your body working”. Which is right, you have learned well that function of the body.

So then, if symptoms are your…

Health Ranger interviews Mark McAfee from OrganicPastures.com about raw milk and FDA raids

The link is to the full article on this story. I want to give my simple perspective on this topic. It might be wrong, sad, bad or ridiculous. I just think that this FDA position on raw milk is wrong, sad, bad and ridiculous.

First off, the reason why we would say raw milk is better for you than processed, relates to a couple things. But before I get into that, I would like to say that I think the best source for raw milk would be grass fed cows. There is some research that shows the chance of e-coli in grass fed beef is almost impossible, and the chance of contaminated milk is also extremely low. That risk goes up when the cows are grain fed. OK, on to the meat… : )

Dreams do come true

Purpose…… Purpose in life for anyone is more important than you may think. And for those out there that have lost faith and let the hope of a happy fulfilling life go… Just know it is still possible. Even those who struggle every day just to take care of themselves… It is still possible. Remember God is good but doesn’t always work with our timing. Those of you with friends or family that you feel have lost hope for making more of their life or or those you know feel they will never find a purpose…. Have hope and pray […]

The Power of Relationship

I have a friend, one whom I will not name because I want to protect his privacy.  He is getting married later this year, which is an incredible accomplishment given the last fifteen years of his life.  I have known him for quite a few years, and I have seen him fight through tough times.  He has battled a diagnosis of bi-polar, with periods of extreme depression over the years. At times I have been blessed with the opportunity to adjust him, and at other times simply to mentor him.  It wasn’t but a few years ago that he was […]
