Our lives are ultimately governed by the choices we make. The choice to get an education. The choice of who to marry. The choice of where to live. The choice of occupation. All of these ultimately influence the quality of your life, and come with lifelong consequences, both good and bad.
Today while I’m writing this article our nation gets to exercise our right to make choices. This amazing privilege afforded us should be taken with the same reverence and responsibility as choosing the right spouse.
Choices of morality and ethics over financial gain has been a huge stumbling block for so many Americans, and should’t be. What’s right is right, and what’s wrong is wrong. Our choices in these affairs affect not only our lives, but the lives of our neighbors and our children.
Much like our choices in the voting booth, our choices in how we care for our bodies is crucial to our longevity. As with our vote, not choosing, is in reality making a choice, and often times may not be to our benefit.
What we choose to eat either strengthens our physical body or takes away from overall health. Often the outcome of our choice may not be realized at the time, but the eventual outcome could be realized years later.
The case of women who had abortions early in life to avoid the consequences of pregnancy, eventually suffering lifelong endometriosis and fibromyalgia is just one example of choices having consequences.
I observed the blood work of a patient who’s been told he has diabetes. His fasting triglycerides were elevated along with his blood sugar. This is consistent with diabetes, but his A1C was normal. He wasn’t asked about the handfuls of candy he consumed, October 31, the day before the test. This one time event raised immediate glucose levels, but his A1C (an indicator of blood sugar over the last three months) showed his blood sugar history, revealing he’s not actually diabetic…yet.
If this patient were to pursue a diet of sugar like he had before the test, he eventually would end up diabetic. Changing lifestyle either to the worse or to the better has immediate outcomes which can often times be easily corrected, but the long term conditions from abuse are hardest to correct.
A couple of weekends ago I attended a functional blood chemistry seminar taught by a certified nutritional consultant. Besides being an excellent seminar, what I was impressed most by was the fact this educator had been a sales rep for the pharmaceutical industry. He had company car, fuel, insurance, unlimited budget to wine and dine doctors, getting them to use the drugs he pedaled, and a huge salary with all kinds of perks.
To have this kind of financial freedom was wonderful until he realized he’d gone to the dark side. Walking away from the money and everything else could be hard if your moral and ethical standards are un-compromised. This very aspect of his nature made it easy to receive wisdom from this man. It’s easy to admire and learn from a person with this kind of integrity. This is one reason why I’ve been associated with Dr Jerry Savelle and the Chariots of Light Motor Cycle Ministry.
When it comes to maintaining consistency in the maintenance of your physical body, can you say you’re a person of integrity? Do you care for your body more diligently than you do your car? A car can be replaced, are you replaceable?
Moral and ethical issues shouldn’t just be about how you interact with the world, but how you care for this one time body. As a physician, much of the time I have to devote myself to the restoration of wrecked bodies. My primary goal is to assist people in proper maintenance of healthy bodies.
The employment of nutrition to assist a healthy body in it’s normal function is far more rewarding than having to fix a wreck. In the seminar I attended last weekend, the doctor who was teaching on extremity adjusting, a certified chiropractic sports physician, will identify himself as a doctor who takes professional athletes and makes them more elite. His approach isn’t so much of how to repair broken bodies as much as in how to improve present function and maintain excellence in performance. He’s worked with the NBA and NFL in restoring the highest level of performance.
This is my goal in applying functional nutrition along with maintaining the structural integrity of the frame. Besides assisting patients in recapturing their health, my goal is to exceed their expectations in daily activities. By applying proper nutritional support and assisting patients in understanding what appropriate choices are, their ability to outperform others can be enhanced.
The new information on extremity adjusting, once perfected in my office has the ability to help relieve many areas of damage due to improper use of the human frame. This includes correcting carpel tunnel issues without surgery. Life should be a journey which is enjoyable, even when we hit some of the speed bumps. Choose this day to operate in excellence.
