In charge of your health…
You're in charge of your health—you're the captain of your ship. There is certainly a wave of paranoia sweeping our country. It's not paranoia about terrorism, but rather misfortune, illness, and death. Amid countless cases of breast cancer, West Nile virus, high cholesterol, etc., etc., we have gradually become a nation of hypochondriacs (1). Everywhere we look, a new test appears under the guise of prevention. These tests range from typical routine exams to mammograms and colonoscopies. Are these tests really designed to prevent disease? I would say “no.” These tests address problems only after the disease has already taken hold. A positive interaction with the patient allows doctors to treat a specific type of disease. Often, treatment involving medication or surgery is riskier than the diagnosis itself. Relax! There’s a better way. As Jack LaLaine says:
”I worry about life and health, not about illness and death.”
Life is governed by natural laws. Take, for example, a plant that is wilting and turning yellow. Would you rush it to a botanist to have it diagnosed and treated for its illness? I don’t think so. You’d most likely check its water, soil, and sunlight. Too little or too much of any one of these factors can make a plant sick. Balance the natural laws (water, soil, sunlight), and miraculously, the plant is reborn and healed. We are no different. We’re simply a more complex organism, which is why we’re subject to more of nature’s laws. Since we aren’t animals, it seems we’ve lost the natural instinct to know when and how we become out of balance.
First, review the laws of nature.
Laws of Life 90% 1) Stress/Mental Attitude 2) Spinal Alignment 3) Sleep/Rest: Physical Laws 10% 4) Nutrition 5) Exercise 6) Health 7) First Aid Be introspective, honest, and decisive, and analyze which law of nature is out of balance. For example, if you have back pain and are obese, spinal alignment may be one answer, but it is not the only answer. Nutrition and exercise may be the first law of nature to achieve balance, and then alignment can be maintained. Once you determine which law of nature is at fault, seek the advice of a professional who agrees with that law.

Let the professional you've chosen bring you into balance. Something amazing will happen. You can HEAL. When you heal, the symptoms or the illness disappear on their own.
You're the captain of your own ship! Don't let any doctor intimidate you. You know what's wrong. Take control! Hire a professional who knows how to restore your balance, and then watch yourself begin to heal! Marc Bony, DC facebook.com/sublux (1) “Norman Cousins, M.D.”
