Wellness has become a bit of a buzz word lately. Have you noticed?
Seems to me that everyone is on the wellness bandwagon. Chiropractors, Yoga, nutritionists, Personal Trainers, even the Medical Industry stakes a claim to wellness. Did you know they are going to start administering statin drugs to kids for wellness and prevention? Now, I don’t know about you, but the last time I checked, kids didn’t require statin drugs to be well.
In fact, you don’t require anything to be well but a strong inner spirit. Call it what you will, what ever makes your fancy. I’m just going to simply state it as your spirit. And it’s all you need to be well. Now someone reading this right now is saying “but doc, we need organic food and clean water and exercise and _______ to be well.” I’m here to tell you, no, you don’t. You just need an inner spirit.
A couple of weeks ago a colleague of mine had a heart attack. He is THE IMAGE of wellness. He is a triathlete, a fifth degree black belt, and a surfer. A day doesn’t go by that he isn’t riding a wave. It is how he starts every single day. He’s in his early 50’s and I pray I look like him and have his energy when I’m in my 50’s. He’s the last guy you would think would have a heart attack. But he came home one day and said to his wife, something isn’t right, you have to bring me to the hospital. On the way in, he passed out and was unconscious for over five minutes before getting to the hospital. In the ER they paddled him twice and brought him back. Miracle of modern medicine! They chilled his body and within 48 hours we woke up and they removed the breathing tube.
He was happy and had he died that day, he would have died a well person. He’s helped so many people and fulfilled so much of what God has asked of him. Yes, we would have been said, and it would have been tough on his family. But he is well.
So often we think “well” mean no symptoms… let’s be honest, ok… symptoms happen and are a natural and normal part of life. It was the symptom of “something isn’t right” that helped save my colleague’s life. He was well.
Chiropractors and their people need to get off the wellness bandwagon and into what Chiropractic is all about… YOUR LIFE.
