Pain!  Is it our biggest foe or our greatest ally? You sneeze.  Why?  Because some pollen, smoke or residual mucus needed to come out.  You sneeze for your own good. You have diarrhea.  Why?  You ate something bad, poison, parasite and your body wants it out.  You have diarrhea for your own good. You have a fever.  Why?  Germs are over running your body, so the brain triggers a fever.  The fever kills the germs with the heat so the body can recover.  You have a fever for your own good. Everything the body does of it’s own accord is [...]

Chiropractic care through pregnancy is not only safe, it is essential. We can look at the implications of subluxation from a bio mechanical, hormonal and neurological standpoint. It is easy for all of us to see postural changes through pregnancy-the centre of gravity changes, the weight of the baby places increased pressure on the spine and pelvis, and toward the end of the pregnancy changes are seen on gait pattern-the “waddle”. What we can’t see are the millions of different hormonal changes and chemical reactions occurring both in the mother and the developing baby—all of which are controlled and [...]

Let us plant a garden 1.   Make sure the soil is fertile 2.   Make sure there is sufficient water 3.   Make sure the sunlight is optimum 4.   Plant the seeds and Get Out of the Way! In other words nature will now create a wonderful garden without any intervention. In fact once a garden is planted in fertile soil with sufficient water and sunlight, one cannot improve upon God’s eventual product. I have planted organic gardens and I have observed that the bugs only attack the vegetables and leaves of the plant on the outskirts of the garden patch. [...]

I feel empathy for the general public when all they hear about is the above. Every symptom, every bump, every hint of a change in digestion, elimination, ect., could be cancer, heart disease, arthritis, or any one of the multitude of  diseases known to man. Run to your doctor. Have it diagnosed with blood tests, x-rays, cat scan MRI, biopsy, and the list goes on. I don’t know about you, but I would go crazy constantly being paranoid about disease and diagnosis. Stop! There is the greatest doctor on the planet constantly recreating abnormal organ and tissue cells into [...]

The first subluxation is the most important and yet the most neglected. The first subluxation usually occurs at birth since over 90% of the United States populace was born in an unnatural environment. Right from our first breath the vital life energy that flows from our brains down through the spinal cord and out to every cell is being choked off by vertebral subluxations caused by forceful birthing procedures. Abraham Towbin, M.D., a Pathologist at Boston University says in his paper on brain stem injuries, that after autopsy of unexplained crib death babies, he found that 7 out of 8 babies [...]

By Dr. Raymond Rickards Proud to be a chiropractic patient The original scientist and developer of chiropractic was B.J. Palmer.  From 1912 to 1962 he wrote 37 volumes on health, research and philosophy.  His friends and contemporaries were Thomas Edison, President Harry Truman, Ronald Reagan and many other dignitaries.  I believe he is one of our great American heroes.  In his book Volume 22 Chapter 11 he writes… THIS INNER POWER SPEAKS WE CHIROPRACTORS work with the subtle substance of the soul. We release the prisoned impulse, the tiny rivulet of force that emanates from the mind and flows [...]

Life is all about Nature’s Laws.  Take for example a plant which is wilting or turning yellow.  Would you rush off and take your plant to a doctor of botany to have it diagnosed, then have the disease treated?  I don’t think so.  More likely one would check the water, the soil and the sunshine.  Too little or too much of any of the above requirements will create a sick plant.  Balance the laws of nature (water, soil, sunshine) and miraculously that plant bounces back and heals. We are no different.  We are just a more complex organism; therefore, [...]

When you are holding your adjustment GREAT things start happening!  Healing kicks in to a degree that was not possible prior to the adjustment.  Everyone has the ability to heal.  Healing is the continuous replacement of old dying body cells with new healthy cells.  The most current research as reported by Deepok Chopra M.D. states that our body replaces itself every one to two years with the exception of the nerve cells. The replacement process is powered by the force of life that travels through the spinal cord and its nerves.  It is no wonder that patients with spinal [...]

Everyone needs a chiropractor.  But what is chiropractic?  Is it a back remedy, a pain treatment, a therapy? The brand of chiropractic offered to my patients is the type of chiropractic that put the profession on the map. Symptom chasing with general manipulation or physiotherapy is not chiropractic. In the early 1930’s through the mid 1950’s our profession was born from the specific correction of the upper neck, not cracking the back.  Twenty years of research using x-ray motion studies, thermography, electromyography and dissection studies demonstrated that the only place in the spine when misaligned that could cause spinal [...]

The atlas and axis are the technical names of the upper two vertebrae in the neck.  The top vertebra is called the atlas.  Just as the Greek god, Atlas, held the world, the atlas of our spine holds the head.  The axis gets its name from the axis of the Earth, since seventy-percent of the rotation of the head occurs at the axis vertebra.  Take into account the weight of the head at eight to ten pounds and that these two top vertebrae are held to the head only by ligaments – the result is a very vulnerable joint [...]
