Your children, grandchildren, nieces, nephews, etc., are a gift from God. I was first taught just how precious this gift is when my children were born. Heaven is my daughter's smile. I can think of nothing more beautiful or precious.

I find that there is often a disconnect when I talk about how important it is that your children are well adjusted. I can think of no more important group than our children that need proper nerve supply. The truth is, most people give us a funny look when we share how important it is that children are well adjusted.

Your children's brains and bodies are developing at an amazing rate on a daily basis. Experts estimate that the average child falls close to 2000 times by the time they are 3 years old. All it takes is one tiny shift in the spine to block that precious nerve supply. This blockage can have detrimental effects to a child's health, developement, and well being. Regular adjustments ensure that nerve supply is REPLENISHED to your child's developing body each day.

I love you, and I thank you for reading this blog, but the truth is, I hope to use you to get your children under regular Chiropractic care. I believe that our future depends on it!

Dr. Miner's Weekly Wellness Wisdom

This past weekend I caught a story on CBS about a product called Sharklet that is designed to cover surfaces to prevent bacterial contamination. This stuff is designed to mimic the pattern of the skin of a shark, after some astute marine biologists realized that bacteria does not grow on shark skin. What I found fascinating is in the story they talked about a problem with allopathic medicine is that everything is focused on killing germs.

This approach has created some enormous problems. 99% of the time this may work, but what we are left with then is that 1% of germs that does not die from our chemicals and drugs. This 1% then turns into some wickedly dangerous drug resistant bacteria. In fact more people die each year in the United States from the deadly bacteria mersa than from HIV. Mersa is a deadly bacteria that was essentially made by mans use of antibiotics and antibacterial products.

In Chiropractic what we call this shark skin thing is innate. God did not design a shark with some amazing antibiotic. He designed sharks with a certain pattern that inhibits bacterial growth. How simple, and how eloquent!

You also have this innate intelligence inside of you. You too are also designed with an immune system that works just as effectively to kill any germ or virus IF you are healthy. Think about it this way...if you get diarrhea because you ate bad food, or got a stomach virus, your body's wisdom attempts to remove the bug by causing you to vomit or have diarrhea. How absurd is it to work against the intelligence of your body by taking a medication like immodium? Yes, it works, it stops diarrhea. BUT, now that bug is trapped inside of you. Medication works against the innate intelligence of the human body.

You are better off, in my opinion and clinical experience, to stay hydrated, and let your body go to work to remove the bug. It may not be a fun time, but you will be healthier and usually heal faster if you let your body's innate intelligence go to work. You are also wise to get adjusted regularly because adjustments affect your nervous system which is what the innate intelligence in your body flows over.
