			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p><img class="alignleft" src="http://moneyning.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/health_money.jpg" alt="" width="218" height="163" />Could you imagine how much money you would have to have to be able to spend $609,000 a day?  What would you expect to receive for that amount of money?  Who has that kind of money to spend, especially during a “recession”?</p>
<p>According to the latest issue of Time magazine, in the first 6 months of this year, the pharmaceutical industry spent about $609,000 a day to influence lawmakers.   Can you imagine the financial payoff they must expect to get to be able to spend that kind of money?   This does not include all the money they spend on advertising as well.    The drug industry has 1,228 registered lobbyists. This equals 2.3 lobbyists for every member of congress. Obviously, the pharmaceutical industry does not want to be left out of the current healthcare reform debate and are willing to pay handsomely to make sure they aren’t.</p>
<p>The return on that investment has already been considerable.  As drug lobbyist Jim Greenwood says, “we’ve done very well.”    So…is there any connection between the incredible hysteria over the swine flu and the profitability of the vaccines created to fight this?  I certainly don’t know for sure but as my father always told me, “follow the money trail.”</p>
<p>This week  President Obama declared a State of Emergency concerning the swine flu.   They say it&#8217;s a proactive attempt to fight the illness.  It might be,  but realize that many of your rights can be bypassed in a “State of Emergency”.  What nexted..  forced vaccinations?  At this point everyone is saying no, but in a “State of Emergency” it seems that they could do this.  Very scary to say the least!</p>
<p>So lets all take a collective deep breath and remember again where health and healing come from…FROM WITHIN.   Your body was created with an inborn, INNATE INTELLIGENCE.    It was present from the time you were 1 cell and remains with you to this very second.   Without an innate intelligence you could not live or adapt to your environment.   Think about the processes that occurring to keep you alive and the overall miracle we call LIFE&#8230;</p>
<p style="padding-left:30px;"><span style="color:#800000;">In one square inch of your hand has nine feet of blood vessels, 600 pain sensors, 9000 nerve endings, 36 heat sensors and 75 pressure sensors.</span></p>
<p style="padding-left:30px;"><span style="color:#800000;">Your brain is more complex than the most powerful computer and has over 100 billion nerve cells. </span></p>
<p style="padding-left:30px;"><span style="color:#800000;">You give birth to 100 billion red cells every day. </span></p>
<p style="padding-left:30px;"><span style="color:#800000;">Your heart beats around 100,000 times every day.</span></p>
<p style="padding-left:30px;"><span style="color:#800000;">Your blood is on a 60,000-mile journey. </span></p>
<p style="padding-left:30px;"><span style="color:#800000;">Your DNA would stretch to the moon and back 8000 times. </span></p>
<p style="padding-left:30px;"><span style="color:#800000;">You have around 42 billion blood vessels  Incredible!!! </span></p>
<p>Thankfully God gave you an internal,  inborn intelligence to create and control all of that.</p>
<p>We need to begin to trust this innate intelligence to help us stay healthy and happy.  Innate needs no help, just no interference.  Interference comes from a Subluxation which is a misaligned bone that puts pressure on the nervous system.  Chiropractors are trained to locate a subluxation and CLEAR it with a <strong>SPECIFIC, SCIENTIFIC AJUSTMENT</strong> allowing for a more complete EXPRESSION of LIFE within you.  Look within for health.  Get in this week so we can make sure you and your family are CLEAR&#8230; Now that&#8217;s <span style="text-decoration:underline;">worth $609,000 plus a day</span>!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p align="left"><strong>The Washington Post confirmed July 30, 2009 that the swine flu vaccine, which is set to be rolled out nationwide this fall in what some fear could ultimately become a mandatory vaccination program, will contain mercury, a toxin linked with autism and neurological disorders.</strong></p>
<p align="left"><img class="alignright" src="http://prisonplanet.com/images/july2009/300709top2.jpg" alt="" width="252" height="163" />Claims by the CDC and the Institute of Medicine, following a whitewash study that ignored previously verified evidence, that thimerosal, a mercury based preservative, has no causal relationship to skyrocketing cases of autism have been soundly rejected by top doctors and scientists ever since.</p>
<p align="left">Epidemiologist Tom Verstraeten and Dr. Richard Johnston, an immunologist and pediatrician from the University of Colorado, both concluded that thimerosal was responsible for the dramatic rise in cases of autism but their findings were dismissed by the CDC.</p>
<p align="left">Cases of autism in the U.S. have increased by 1,500 since 1991, which is when vaccines for children doubled, and the number of immunizations is only increasing. Just one in 2,500 children were diagnosed with autism before 1991, whereas one in 166 children now have the disease.</p>
<p align="left">A peer reviewed study by Dr. Mark Geier which appeared in the Journal of American Physicians and Surgeons showed that the IOM research was flawed because it was largely based on a Danish study by Anders Peter Hviid, which did not account for the fact that American children have a much higher mercury burden than children in Denmark.</p>
<p align="left">“At the high levels (of thimerosal exposure), it is undeniable there is a causal relationship, and we have gone to high levels. Their studies, therefore are not relevant, I am not saying they are wrong, although there are many criticisms of it. It is just not relative to the US situation,” said Geier.</p>
<p align="left">Geier’s study concludes that there is an increase of neurodevelopment disorders following the use of thimerosal containing vaccines.</p>
<p align="left">Dr. Rashid Buttar, who has pioneered a new treatment for autistic children that removes mercury from their bodies, said the Institute of Medicine’s conclusion that mercury does not cause autism demonstrates the “complete absence of any desire to discover scientific truth at the supposed highest levels of medical academia.”</p>
<p style="padding-left:30px;" align="left">“When 31 children recover from a devastating disease by a simple transdermal treatment that detoxifies metals, then common sense dictates that perhaps metals are involved,” states Dr. Bob Nash the chairman of the American Board of Clinical Metal Toxicology (ABCMT) in regard to Dr. Buttar’s treatment.</p>
<p style="padding-left:30px;" align="left">“In 1977, a Russian study found that adults exposed to ethylmercury, the form of mercury in thimerosal, suffered brain damage years later. Studies on thimerosal poisoning also describe tubular necrosis and nervous system injury, including obtundation, coma and death. As a result of these findings, Russia banned thimerosal from children’s vaccines in 1980. Denmark, Austria, Japan, Great Britain and all the Scandinavian countries have also banned the preservative,” <a href="http://www.naturalnews.com/011764.html">writes Dawn Prate</a>.</p>
<p align="left">Mercury is classified by The Department of Defense as a hazardous material that could cause death if swallowed, inhaled or absorbed through the skin, and the <a href="http://www.physorg.com/news159646809.html">EPA is now limiting mercury  emissions</a> from factories because the toxin “can damage the brain and nervous system and is especially dangerous to fetuses and small children,” but according to the CDC it’s perfectly safe to inject into your child’s bloodstream.</p>
<p align="left">Despite concerns about thimerosal and mercury, which have led to the preservative being reduced or removed from a large portion of vaccines over the last five years, thimerosal will be an ingredient of the swine flu vaccine which is set to arrive in the U.S. this September.</p>
<p align="left">“Some of the vaccine will be stored in multi-dose vials containing thimerosal, an antibacterial additive that contains mercury,” <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/07/29/AR2009072903607_2.html?wpisrc=newsletter&amp;wpisrc=newsletter&amp;wpisrc=newsletter&amp;sid=ST2009072903827">reports  the Washington Post today</a> in an article about which groups will receive the  swine flu vaccine first.</p>
<p align="left">“There will also be single-dose syringes without thimerosal, a substance that some assert is harmful to children,” adds the article, without mentioning whether or not people who take the vaccine will get a choice or even be informed if it contains mercury.</p>
<p align="left"><a href="http://www.prisonplanet.com/12000-u-s-children-to-be-swine-flu-vaccine-guinea-pigs.html#">Around  12,000 U.S. children will be used as guinea pigs</a> for the experimental swine flu vaccine also known to contain the dangerous ingredient <span style="text-decoration:underline;"><strong>squalene,</strong></span> which has been directly linked with cases of Gulf War Syndrome and a host of other debilitating diseases.</p>
<p style="padding-left:30px;" align="left">Squalene “contributed to the cascade of reactions called “Gulf War syndrome. (GIs developed) arthritis, fibromyalgia, lymphadenopathy, rashes, photosensitive rashes, malar rashes, chronic fatigue, chronic headaches, abnormal body hair loss, non-healing skin lesions, aphthous ulcers, dizziness, weakness, memory loss, seizures, mood changes, neuropsychiatric problems, anti-thyroid effects, anaemia, elevated ESR (erythrocyte sedimentation rate), systemic lupus erythematosus, multiple sclerosis, ALS, Raynaud’s phenomenon, Sjorgren’s syndrome, chronic diarrhea, night sweats and low-grade fever,” according to Micropaleontologist Dr. Viera Scheibner.</p>
<p align="left">Pharmaceutical companies can be assured that they won’t face reprisals for the many thousands of injuries and deaths that will inevitably occur as a result of exposing millions to mercury and squalene during a mass vaccination program, because the government has already acted to provide them with blanket immunity from lawsuits.</p>
<p align="left">“Vaccine makers and federal officials will be immune from lawsuits that result from any new swine flu vaccine, under a document signed by Secretary of Health and Human Services Kathleen Sebelius,” <a href="http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5hjdCHrP82YTFser5vD6CzTK1az6wD99GH8580">reported  the Associated Press</a> earlier this month.</p>

</span></span></p>
<p><img class="alignright" src="http://i518.photobucket.com/albums/u349/bliebdc71/HealthCareReform.jpg" alt="" width="171" height="243" />With all the talk about health care reform, national health care and government health care, I couldn’t help but think of this quote and how much it applies to the current situation.  What we currently call health care couldn’t be any further from “health” care.  It is widely agreed upon, even in the medical community, that what we have is a “sick” care or “crisis” care system.  The majority of what is done today is aimed at the diagnosis and treatment of disease.</p>
<p>Health is not the diagnosis and treatment of anything.   Health is a state of the body when it is FUNCTIONING at its optimum, at 100%.   So health care then would be anything that helps to improve the FUNCTION of the body. Health is something that must be worked on, on a continuous basis.   Eating right, exercising, sleeping well and having positive thoughts are all examples of health-ful behaviors.   In other words, doing those things on a regular basis will improve the FUNCTION of your body.   This is fact. There really is nothing to discuss when it comes to those behaviors.</p>
<p>The last aspect for HEALTH, is to look at what controls all the FUNCTIONS of the body. According to Gray’s Anatomy: the NERVOUS SYTEM controls and coordinates every FUNCTION of the human body. Therefore for proper function to occur within the body the nerve system has to be functioning properly and without interference. The INNATE INTELLIGENCE within each and every one of us is what does all the healing. It is what beats the heart, digests food, heals a cut and keeps you from getting sick. Innate intelligence travels over the nervous system to every part of the body.</p>
<p>When a spinal bone moves out of its proper alignment the result can be pressure upon nerves which interferes with the transmission of the mental impulses coming from the brain and going to the entire body. The result is an inability for the body to properly heal and regulate itself, which equals dis-ease, or lack of ease, or lack of harmony and FUNCTION.</p>
<p>Until we as a society first understand what health is and then take PERSONAL RESPONSIBILTY for doing what it takes to be healthy, we will never have TRUE HEALTH CARE REFORM.  <span style="text-decoration:underline;"><strong>Getting more people covered in a system that rewards everyone when people are SICK is not gonna cut it</strong></span>.  Whether it is private or government to me is not the MAJOR ISSUE   The issue is understanding what health is and doing what it takes to be healthy. &#8211; Dr. Rob</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p>By Dr. Peter Amlinger</p>
<p>Marcus Bach, a noted theologian and a close friend of BJ Palmers stated that the secret to success was to always be one’s true self.  BJ agreed with him but clarified the definition by saying the key was to always be one’s INNATE self.</p>
<p>Remember, your innate is your consciousness.  BJ defined it as an infinite, indefinitely superior, very intelligent energy which always works for the the highest good.  He further stated in the story of that something that it was faith, power, confidence, ambition and more!  This innate, this friend within, is something special; and we all have one.</p>
<p>Your innate is always working on your behalf guiding you in all areas of your life; IF you are tuned into it.</p>
<p>BJ went on to teach that innate always speaks in positive, action oriented ways and that when it is innate nudging you to do something the urge is always accompanied by a sense of peace and ease, even if the task is difficult and or enormous.</p>
<p>So in practical terms how do we do this?</p>
<p>Here are some tips:</p>
<ul>
<li>Stay adjusted.  Your innate can only speak clearly to you when you are free of subluxation induced nerve interference.</li>
<li>Live consciously, practice being 100% present in everything that you do.  When you are living in present time consciousness you are being your consciousness!</li>
<li>Learn to quiet your mind.  Innate is always whispering to you bout sometimes cannot be heard above the roar of the ego.</li>
<li>Release limiting and negative beliefs, habits and thought patterns.</li>
<li>Become aware of what is going on within your being, physically, mentally and emotionally; these are the channels through which innate communicates.</li>
</ul>
<p>BJ said that what separates geniuses from the rest of humanity is that people who are expressing their genius have learned to discern what their innate is guiding them to do, trust it; and take action on it.</p>
<p>Try it, in all areas of your life, it has proven itself for me time and time again!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p>By Dr. Kevin Donka</p>
<p>“I want to thank you for everything you’ve done for me and helped me to do over this past year,” Carrie said as she hugged me goodbye after her adjustment. “This will be my first truly independent Independence Day in a very long time.” I asked her what she meant and she told me that she had been relying upon her medical doctors, all of their medical tests, and their medications to get through each day ever since she was a little girl.</p>
<p><span style="color:#ffffff;">test</span><br />
<img class="alignright" src="http://oromantic.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/independence-day.jpg?w=203&#038;h=156" alt="" width="203" height="156" />But since beginning her chiropractic care roughly a year ago and making   some lifestyle modifications we suggested for her, as well as working on her focus, she had been able to get completely off all of her high blood pressure, cholesterol, bladder control, diabetes, migraine, Crohn’s Disease, allergy, arthritis, hypothyroid, and anti-anxiety medications. She had also lost a total off 65 pounds and left a job she had hated for 14 years to open her own boutique.  Plus, her marriage was like brand new!</p>
<p><span style="color:#ffffff;">test</span><br />
I asked her if she had to pick just one thing that she believed was the most important thing she had learned over the past year, what would it be? She didn’t even hesitate; she put on a great big smile and said, “<span style="text-decoration:underline;">That I am not a victim of my body or a slave to medicine; that I am the one who ultimately decides what my health and my life will be like, not my doctor, and that if I really listen to my Inner Voice, it will never let me down!</span>”</p>
<p><span style="color:#ffffff;">test</span><br />
“So you’re not using outside pills, potions, lotions or advice as much?” I asked. “NO!” she answered.  “And you’re not relying upon outside blood tests, urinalysis, DNA testing, bone density testing, x-rays, CT scans, and MRI’s to tell you if you are healthy or not?” “Definitely not!” she exclaimed. “And you’re not constantly running to some outside doctor every time you decide to try something new in your life?” I continued. “No way!” she beamed, “Not even YOU!”</p>
<p><span style="color:#ffffff;">tst</span></p>
<p>“So let me make sure I understand what you are telling me, Carrie,” I said. “Instead of relying upon all of those OUTSIDE things, you are now listening to your Innate Intelligence – what you are calling your Inner Voice, is that right?”<span style="color:#ffffff;"> </span>She smiled at me and said, “That’s exactly right Dr. D.! I am now living what you call inside-out!”</p>
<p><span style="color:#ffffff;">test</span><br />
“So you are totally right then when you say this will be your first truly independent Independence Day! Instead of relying upon all of those OUTSIDE things you used to; in other words, instead of being OUT &#8211; dependent, you now trust all of the miraculous workings of your body and the Inner Intelligence that guides and runs it. You have truly become <strong>IN &#8211; dependent!</strong>”</p>
<p><span style="color:#ffffff;">test</span><br />
“Wow,” Carrie said. “I never thought about it that way, but I definitely have a whole new appreciation for what the words freedom and independence mean now. And I don’t just mean freedom FROM all those things we just talked about. I also mean the freedom TO direct my own health, my own life and to give to others at a level I have never been able to before.”</p>
<p><span style="color:#ffffff;">test</span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>Let’s begin today to make EVERY day IN &#8211; dependence day!</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong><span style="color:#ffffff;">test</span><br />

<p>The following true story occurred many years ago when I was very young in practice.  It represented a turning point for me where I realized completely for the very first time, just how incredibly far reaching having a functioning spine and a clear brain-body connection can be, and how crucial the full expression of health is to having a peaceful, loving, joyous and harmonious life.</p>
<p><img class="alignright" src="http://www.thespiritualfengshui.com/images/happy-family2.jpg" alt="" width="164" height="247" /></p>
<p>There were roughly 20 people attending my workshop including a little girl 4 or 5 years old who was busy coloring in the corner.  At the end of the talk, a woman stood up and shared that she had been ready to divorce her husband (seated next to her) before he began his chiropractic care because of how short-tempered and nasty he had become over the past few years.  She said he was no longer the man she had known and loved for so long.  But, she continued, since he had started getting adjusted and began feeling better, she had seen the return of the man she had been attracted to and married so many years before.</p>
<p>She explained that he had stopped complaining and yelling all the time and had begun working in the garden again and taking walks with her.  He was smiling a lot more and he had even begun singing around the house again.  Plus, she added, he was playing with their little daughter in a whole new way.  She was so happy and she just wanted everyone to know how much chiropractic had helped them.  She then turned and addressed the little girl coloring in the corner; &#8220;Isn’t that right Caitlyn, sweetie pie?  Isn&#8217;t Daddy more fun now?&#8221;  The little girl looked up and said, &#8220;He doesn&#8217;t BEAT me anymore&#8230;&#8221;</p>
<p>Suddenly the room went deadly quiet.  Nobody knew what to say or do after hearing this… and then the man began to sob.  After a few moments, he told us how horrible his headaches had been, and that he had never wanted to be so mean to his wife and his precious daughter, but he had felt so bad himself he just couldn&#8217;t help it.  As he put it, “I was pissed off at the world, and they just kept getting in my way.”  He thanked me again and told me the care he had received in our center had saved his life for sure, and probably his daughter&#8217;s life too.  Not that he would have actually ever harmed her severely physically; but the damage he had been doing to her mentally made him feel utterly ashamed and sick to his stomach.  Then he took a deep breath and said with determination, &#8220;BUT NO MORE!  He shook his head and after a pause he repeated in a whisper, “No more.&#8221;</p>
<p>How many people are treating themselves and others poorly because of how badly they feel physically?  We&#8217;re not just talking about health here; we&#8217;re talking about LIFE!  The truth is this;</p>
<p align="center"><strong>NO part of your life will work as well as it is meant to without your health!</strong></p>
<p>NEVER FORGET how powerful your adjustments are, and never always remember the perfection that has been placed inside of you&#8230;the perfection that gives you the opportunity to live a happy, healthy and vital life, as long as it is allowed to flow freely and normally through your nerve system.</p>
<p>Chiropractic care makes sure your spine is aligned and functioning properly, so that your brain-body connection is clear and your Intelligent Life Energy can flow freely and normally and keep you moving steadily toward the full expression of health and life!  This is a crucial idea to understand, for we never know how far reaching something we may think say or do today will affect millions of lives tomorrow.<strong><em></em></strong></p>

<p>Many years ago a Medical Historian named Sir Charles Singer wrote about the stages of ill health, among other things.  This noted author’s writings are as accurate today as they were when he first wrote them.  He asserts that:</p>
<ul>
<li><span style="color:#800000;">The first stage is a functional impairment.  He states that this may not be noticeable by the patient or the physician.  We call this ACLINICAL ILLNESS.  There are no symptoms or signs in this stage and no diagnostic tests are positive.</span></li>
<li><span style="color:#800000;">The second stage brings signs and symptoms.</span></li>
<li><span style="color:#800000;">The third stage brings structural and/or cellular changes.</span></li>
</ul>
<p>Sir Charles goes on to state that people are rarely seen before the second stage and more often than not are first seen when they are in the third stage.</p>
<p><img class="alignright" src="http://www.isteroids.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/chessboard-steroids1.jpg" alt="" width="185" height="187" /></p>
<p>He then makes the astonishingly accurate comparison that “to try and learn about an ailment under such circumstances, (i.e.. in the 2nd or 3rd stage), is something like trying to learn about chess by watching <strong>THE</strong> <strong>LAST MOVES </strong>of a game between two experts, unaware that the outcome is frequently decided <strong>IN THE FIRST MOVES.</strong></p>
<p>Subluxations are functional impairments; misalignments between the spinal bones which IMPAIR proper nerve function.  Altered nerve function causes abnormal function within cells.  Abnormal cell function causes symptoms and signs and if they persist long enough they cause structural changes in both the spine and in the tissues receiving the subnormal nerve flow.</p>
<p>There is a doctor who can find the functional impairment of the first stage of disease; it is the CHIROPRACTOR.</p>
<p>Think about it, when would be the best time to have a developing health problem taken care of?  In its early “aclinical stages” or in its end stage?</p>
<p>BJ Palmer discussed the importance of finding and correcting ACUTE SUBLUXATIONS; correcting them before they became chronic and cause structural disease.  GET THIS &#8211; OVER 80% OF BABIES ARE BORN SUBLUXATED!</p>
<p><strong>When is the best/only opportunity to have the acute subluxation corrected?</strong> Do you have loved ones at home who have never been checked for subluxation?  Are you/they waiting for 2nd or 3rd stage illness?  Why?</p>
<p>If this article makes as much sense to you as it does to me; I would think that you will be arranging for your family to get checked for subluxations NOW.</p>
<p>We would welcome the opportunity to check them; the earlier in life, the better.</p>

</strong></div>
<div><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;">The 1918 influenza pandemic has been labeled in history as one of the most devastating outbreaks in the history of the world with deaths estimated at between 20 and 40 million people.  Over 675,000 American citizens lost their lives due to this awful epidemic.  Why are we talking about this?  The 1918 flu crisis has been labeled in the Chiropractic profession as the reason for our success and proliferation as an occupation.  Here are some of the statistics that give merit to the power of the Chiropractic adjustment:</span></div>
<p style="padding-left:30px;"><span style="color:#800000;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;">In Davenport, Iowa 50 medical doctors cared for 4,953 cases with 274 deaths.  Also in Davenport, 150 chiropractors saw 1,635 cases with only one death.  In the state of Iowa, medical doctors treated 93,590 patients, with 6,116 deaths, a loss of one patient out of every 15.  In the same state, excluding Davenport, 4,735 patients were seen by chiropractors with a loss of only six patients – a loss of one patient out of every 789.</span></span></p>
<p style="padding-left:30px;"><span style="color:#800000;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;">National figures show that 1,142 chiropractors cared for 46,394 for influenza during 1918, with a loss of 54 patients – one out of every 859. </span></span><span style="color:#800000;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;">In New York City, 950 out of 10,000 cases died with medical methods while 25 out of 10,000 died using drugless methods.</span></span></p>
<div style="padding-left:30px;"><span style="color:#800000;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;"><span style="color:#ffffff;">test</span><br />
</span></span></div>
<div><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;">Yes, the medical profession was seeing a majority of the worst of the worst; <span style="text-decoration:underline;"><strong>however, one of the greatest statistics backing chiropractic care comes from the state of Oklahoma.  There were 233 cases in which the medical doctors had cared for patients and eventually pronounced them as “lost” or beyond hope… chiropractors took care of all 233 with only 25 deaths</strong></span>.</span></div>

<div><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;">Chiropractic’s journey into health care took a huge leap forward thanks to its incredible effect on the thousands of Americans during the flu crisis.  What I hope you all gain from this is the incredible results of the chiropractic adjustment.  When you get adjusted, you decreased sustained sympathetic tone in your nervous system (bad), which subsequently leads to an increase in immune function (good), among many other consequences (Journal of Neurophysiology, February 2007).  An increase in immune function is important for everything from the cold and runny nose to influenza, cancer, and heart disease, not to mention the great enhancing effects on a healthy individual.  This is why we encourage you all to come in to get checked despite if you are not feeling the best.  An adjustment will stimulate your immune system to better fight off <span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;text-decoration:underline;">any</span> illness in your body.</span></div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;">Manuelo was born and raised in an extremely remote, isolated and what most of the world would call <em>primitive</em> village in the Philippines.<span> </span>When Manuelo was grown, he had the opportunity to visit the United   States for a few weeks.<span> </span><span style="text-decoration:underline;">When he got here</span>, he was totally amazed at literally everything!<span> </span>There wasn’t much at all about our world that was the same in his.<span> </span>There were lights, running water, and things called stoves that made fires inside the house, not to mention the tall buildings, fire trucks, ice cream cones and stores where you could buy everything you could think of, as well as many things you had never even dreamed about!</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;"> </span><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;"><img class="alignright" src="http://i239.photobucket.com/albums/ff165/rshawdc/poor-maneulo.gif" alt="" width="265" height="153" /></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;">Near the end of his time in this magical place, Manuelo decided that he needed to show the people of his village just how incredible their lives could be by bring something back they had never seen before.<span> </span>But what to bring?<span> </span>There were so many things he had seen, any one of which could change the lives of his people forever!<span> </span>It needed to be something small, something he could easily take with him and that wouldn’t cost him a lot of money.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;">Then he knew what to bring.<span> </span>He excitedly set out one afternoon to gather everything he would need.<span> </span>He asked lots of questions of the sales people and was careful to get all of the materials necessary.<span> </span>He couldn’t help smiling as he thought about his village’s reaction while he went from shelf to shelf in the store collecting his amazing surprise.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;">Once he was home, he asked his family to leave their home for the day and he set about the task of readying everything.<span> </span>First, he put a light fixture in the middle of the ceiling of their small hut.<span> </span>Then he ran an insulated wire from the fixture to a spot near the door.<span> </span>He then attached the wire to a switch, and finally inserted a light bulb into the fixture.<span> </span>They were going to be so surprised and happy!</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;">By now, some talk had started around the village about what Manuelo was doing.<span> </span>What was he up to?<span> </span>Why wouldn’t he let them see yet?<span> </span>What was this wondrous thing he promised they could see as soon as it got dark outside?<span> </span>Finally, one at a time, Manuelo let everyone in the village in to see what he had built.<span> </span>They looked at the strange things now on the wall and ceiling and asked him what they were all about.<span> </span>He just told each of them to be patient; that they would soon see something incredible!<span> </span>They just needed to wait for the sunset.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;">Then, as the sun slowly disappeared, Manuelo announced that it was time.<span> </span>He would now show everyone this marvelous thing he had brought back from so far away that he promised would change their lives forever!<span> </span>He walked over to the switch, took a dramatic pause for effect, and then flipped the switch.<span> </span>Nothing happened.<span> </span>He turned it off and then on again, still nothing.<span> </span>He took out the light bulb and replaced it with another and then a third, but still the hut remained dark.<span> </span>Finally, everyone returned to their own huts.<span> </span>They felt bad for poor Manuelo.<span> </span>He had been so excited; he had tried so hard – poor Manuelo!</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;">In explaining how to set up the lights in his house, no one had ever told poor Manuelo about electricity.<span> </span>No one had ever told him about the SOURCE of the light.<span> </span>No one had ever told him that he needed to be PLUGGED IN to that Source of Power in order for his light to shine the way it was meant to shine.<span> </span>Poor Manuelo!</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;">YOU must also be continually plugged into the SOURCE of YOUR POWER in order for your LIGHT to shine the way it was meant to shine!<span> </span>Chiropractic care helps you maintain the CONNECTION between your body and the POWER that runs, heals and grows you.<span> </span>It helps you stay connected to YOU!</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:center;" align="center"><strong><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;"> </span></strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong><span style="font-size:14pt;font-family:Arial;">How well is your family PLUGGED-IN</span></strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong><span style="font-size:14pt;font-family:Arial;"> to your Source of Power?</span></strong></p>
