October Is National Chiropractic Month

The Major Premise:

There is a universal intelligence in all matter, continuously giving to it all its properties and actions, thus maintaining it in existence, and giving this intelligence its expression.

The Chiropractic Meaning of Life:

The expression of this innate intelligence through matter is the Chiropractic meaning of “life.”
These are two of the 33 Principles of Chiropractic.

October Is National Chiropractic Month

Chiropractic was discovered 116 years ago by DD Palmer in Davenport, IA.  He stated that Chiropractic was founded on the principle of tone.  When the tone of your nervous system is normalized, the body is therefore able to self-heal and self-regulate at the highest potential.

This is why it is imperative for everyone to get regular check-ups from their Chiropractor to make sure the tone of their nervous systems is normal.

Have you had your spine and nervous system checked lately?

Test Your GMO Knowledge

True or False?
Q: The only Sweeteners on the market that likely contain genetically modified organisms are those made from corn - ie., fructose, corn syrup, and high-fructose corn syrup.

A: False.  Sweeteners made from corn, more than 80 percent of which is genetically modified, are likely to contain GMOs.  But so is sugar, which is usually a combination of sugar cane and sugar from GM sugar beets.  Also, the artificial sweetener aspartame, found in NutraSweet and Equal, is a genetically modified product.
