For the past several weeks Iโve been writing negatively about drugs and the damage they often do to people.Although truth, it must come to pass that the whole truth be revealed.And that whole truth is that there are times when medicine is necessary.For anyone who has attended our orientation will attest, I state often there are times when medicine is not only appropriate, but the necessary intervention.
It is my opinion that these are matters of immediate life and death, such as an automobile accident, a gun-shot wound, or stabbing.Thank God our military across the globe have medical doctors who are properly equipped to handle the atrocities of war.
Recently a patient of ours lost her husband to a heart attack.โDoc, he was in perfect health.โA heart attack is another situation where medicine is the correct call.But in this particular situation, was the person really healthy?For two years, I urged her to have her husband checked by a chiropractor.Each time it was refused because he was โin perfect healthโ or โfeeling well.โHe always had his yearly physical and was always commended as a healthy person by his doctors.This is but one example where how we feel and what our doctors tell us are not indicators of how our health is.
We all have a similar story, a friend who โcame down with cancerโ, or our mother who was always in perfect health now had diabetes.Me included never broke a bone in my body until I was thirty years old.When I found out, I didnโt want to believe it.Iโve broken three in the two years since.
Getting checked by a chiropractor helps ensure that our bodies are working optimally.Then when we add in a healthy state of mind (which should come first), exercise, and nutrition we kick our health into high gear.Health comes from the inside, from Above-Down-Inside-Out, not outside-in.It starts in our mind and then is relayed into our bodies what we are thinking.That requires a healthy mindset and healthy nerve system.Everything else powers off of it.If the power in your house goes out, nothing else works.You cynics are saying โwell, I have a generator,โ but even generators have a limited supply of power.The same holds true for our bodies, we have a limited supply of reserve but an unlimited supply of power if we allow our minds and bodies to tap into it.
The Bible states we are to โlove thy neighbor as thyself.โYou love yourself enough to get checked and stay healthy.Your neighbor deserves to hear the truth as you know it.It is a way of showing that you love them.Tell someone to get checked this week; it will prevent them from having to see a medical doctor.
