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.

National Non-GMO Month

Are You Well Connected?

The brain communicates with the body through the nervous system and the body communicates with the brain through the nervous system.  When there is interference with the communication the body can't express its fullest potential and Chiropractors call this subluxation.  This is called the safety pin cycle.  Make sure you are well connected and get regular chech-ups for subluxation.

Paper Cut

What would happen if you get a paper cut?  How would it look in a month?  What if there was a splinter in it?  Would it heal the same?  The body is self-healing, self-regulating and subluxations interfere with the self-healing and self-regulating of the body just like a splinter interferes with the healing of the paper cut.
