Amazingly enough, after writing my article on oral health last week, I encountered a broken tooth on Saturday. The location isn’t one which can easily be ignored.
Having a gaping hole in my smile isn’t very professional. Nobody wants a hillbilly doctor. Since I don’t own any bib overalls, I thought it imperative to see about getting this remedied.
Having a dental professional in your life is a good thing. As a holistic physician many would think I would not have a high opinion of those in the medical world. On the contrary, if not for a pair of highly skilled abdominal surgeons, I would not be here today.
In 1976 I was ripped open from an explosion, and had my intestines in my hands. Thankfully these two surgeons and eight units of blood, they were able to put Humpty Dumpty back together again.
In this case, my dentist was able to get me in on Tuesday and address the cause of the broken tooth and initiate the needed repairs. I’m so thankful that I can fill in for my pastor on Sunday not looking like I’ve lost a fight. On top of it all, the cost was much lower than I expected for someone without dental insurance. Make sure you have a good dentist to rely on.
I find it important to not separate yourself from those who can help you when needed. Don’t burn bridges with your primary care physician while seeking and employing natural healing.
In this life we do encounter tribulation, but we’re not to let it control our lives. Regardless of the challenges we face, there’s always a way out of it. Even with a hole in my smile, I had to seek the good in the circumstance. Since I’d not had an oral checkup by a professional in a long time, it afforded me an opportunity to make sure the rest of my mouth is in good health.
Taking inventory in your health is quite like having your vehicle serviced to insure you don’t end up stranded on the side of the road. Unless you’re a trained mechanic, you may miss something which is required for the safe function of your vehicle.
Your body is the vehicle you get to experience life on this planet. Making sure it’s in good operating order is critical to the long haul. This why getting a health evaluation on a regular basis is important. Getting blood work helps your health care provider to identify any imbalances in your system.
I just got a blood work back on a patient who hasn’t shared that they are dealing with any physical challenges, but what I am seeing is severe anemia and liver challenges. These areas need to be addressed just like finding that you’ve got four bald tires on your car. It may still drive, but you’re potentially looking at a serious accident down the road.
When getting a blood work back like that, I need to establish what the diet is like, as well as other environmental challenges. Is the patient getting adequate rest, drinking enough water, eating foods that nourish instead of damage cells. This is where the investigation goes further.
When I see those living long lives like my uncle, who got married on his 96th birthday recently, it makes you ask what is their secret to that kind of long life. He went skydiving for the first time at the age of 90, and has been volunteering at Chick Fillet a couple times a week. This is life in abundance.
My goal in life is to live like this and help others to attain the same. Falling apart prematurely isn’t God’s will for your life. As in other areas, there are laws in effect which rule our lives. The cellular structure of your body must have water to live. Just as without oxygen, metabolism comes to a screeching halt, withholding important nutrients from your system will impair proper function.
Putting sugar water in your gas tank will destroy you engine. This is consistent with your physical body. When I see people in the grocery store with a cart full of soda pop, it makes me cringe to think of what all that sugar is doing to the cells of their bodies.
Due diligence in the maintenance of your body is very similar to what I’ve seen amongst classic car enthusiasts who would never put anything in their car that could damage it. Then I see the vehicles of those who trash them with the thought that when it dies, they can go get another. Just in case you weren’t aware, this is the only body you get. Take care of it.
If you’ve not had a good work up lately, you might think about it. Even I get a complete blood work up every year. I think it wonderful the VA runs my blood and then I get to examine the outcome. Because I’m not interested in the “reference range”, but in optimal levels, I look at bloodworm with a critical eye. I’m not interested in just getting by, but in optimal health.
The five pillars of good health are, 1. Proper nutrition. 2. Adequate hydration (water). 3. Refreshing rest and sleep. 4. Fresh air, And 5. Exercise (even tires on a car that isn’t driven will rot.)
