 The
Positive Side of Life...
Living on Earth is ex-pensive, but it includes a free trip
around the sun every year.
How
long a minute is depends on what side of the bathroom door
you're on.
Happiness comes through doors that you didn't even know
you had left open.
Ever
notice that the people who are late are often much jollier
than the people who have to wait for them?
Most of
us go to our grave with our music still inside of us.
If
Wal-Mart is lowering prices every day, how come nothing is
free yet?
You may
be only one person in the world, but you may also be the
world to one person.
Some
mistakes are too much fun to make only once.
Don't
cry because it's over; smile because it happened.
 We
could learn a lot from crayons: some are sharp, some are
pretty, some are dull, some have weird names, and all are
different colors....but they all exist very nicely in the
same box.
Birthdays are good for you; the more you have, the longer
you live.
A truly
happy person is one who can enjoy the scenery on a detour.
Words of Wisdom...
Let no one ever come to you
without leaving better and happier. Be the living
expression of God's kindness: kindness in your face,
kindness in your eyes, kindness in your smile.
– Mother Teresa
Your children are not your
children. They are the sons and daughters of Life’s
longing for itself. They come through you but not from
you, and though they are with you yet they belong not to
you.
– Kahlil Gibran
Those who love deeply never
grow old; they may die of old age, but they die young.
– Sir Arthur Wing Pinero
I saw an angel in the block of marble and I just chiseled
‘til I set him free.
– Michelangelo
 Chiropractic
and Spinal Research...
Chiropractic Patients Have
Lower Healthcare Costs. Save money, go to a chiropractor.
In a study involving 395,641 patients with one or more of
493 neuro-musculoskeletal (head, neck, back, leg, hip,
nerve, muscle, etc.) conditions over a two year period,
patients receiving chiropractic care had significantly
lower healthcare costs than did patients under medical or
osteopathic care. “Patients receiving chiropractic care
experienced significantly lower healthcare costs…The wide
gap in the overall cost experience between chiropractic
and medical patients cannot easily be dismissed even by
skeptics of the chiropractic profession.” (2)
Neck Disc Herniation. This
is the case of a 39-year-old male who had a football
injury 20 years earlier. He had an aching, deep pain
running from the base of his neck to his right elbow and
sharply down his arm. An MRI revealed a C5-C6 (neck) disc
herniation. After 13 chiropractic visits all pain ceased
and he was symptom free. A follow up MRI revealed a
reduction in the herniation. (3)
 Tourette
Syndrome, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD),
depression, asthma, insomnia, and headaches. This is the
case of a 9-year- old boy with Tourette Syndrome,
attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, depression,
asthma, insomnia and headaches. Those with Tourette
Syndrome often curse, mumble or strike out in rage. This
is a neurological condition that makes sufferers miserable
and often condemned to live a lonely life. The boy had a
forceps delivery and was on many different drugs. After
six weeks of chiropractic care all of his symptoms from
his six conditions completely resolved. Five months later
he remains symptom-free. (4)
Migraine, etc. 48 out of 57
child migraine sufferers had excellent results after
spinal care. Spinal problems in children may manifest
themselves as sleep disorders, loss of appetite, psychic
problems or dysmenorrhea with no spinal pain. Studies on
healthy children revealed Subluxations/ fixations in 55.8%
of all school children. After care the problems rarely
recur. (5)
 Humor...
A woman went to the doctor’s
office, where she was seen by one of the new doctors.
After a few minutes in the examination room, she burst
out, screaming, running down the hall. An older doctor
asked what the problem was, and she told him her story.
The older doctor marched
down the hallway and demanded, "What's the matter with
you?
Mrs. Terry is 63 years old
with 4 children and 7 grandchildren, and you told her she
was pregnant?"
The new doctor continued to
write on his clipboard and without looking up, "Does she
still have the hiccups?"
Why Do Children Need Chiropractic Care?
 Childhood
(and infancy) is full of falls, spills, bumps and
collisions with reality (and chairs and doors and
floors).
After the tears and
crying it’s wise to visit the chiropractor to make
sure that the accident didn’t cause a subluxation.
Subluxations are often painless and yet they can
affect the body and cause all kinds of problems.
Don’t wait for your child to get sick before you
do something about their health.
Correcting silent
Subluxations now can prevent a lot of noisy
sickness later.
Organic Food Is Really Healthier...
 More
people are buying organic food because it really
does taste better and is free of pesticides and
other chemicals – but is it really healthier?
A new study found organic corn, strawberry and
marionberry had up to 50% more antioxidants –
chemicals that fight illnesses such as cancer and
heart disease.
More and more we’re finding that it’s better to
eat organic. (1)
Breast-feeding Good For Teeth...
Researchers have
concluded that breast-feeding a child for more
than 40 days can actually help inhibit the
formation of cavities. Using a bottle at night
(not the breast) actually promoted tooth decay.

Imagine what you’d
be like if you never had an adjustment. Think of
that the next time you visit a sick friend. Would
you like us to send this newsletter to your
friends or relatives? Let us know. Remember,
friends don’t let friends stay subluxated.
Please don’t forget
to stop by for a spinal adjustment so you can be
at your best and enjoy summer to its fullest.
