MAY THE FORCE FLOW THROUGH YOU

 

Well, a major part of my childhood just came to an end.  I finally saw the final episode of the STAR WARS saga.  As a child, when the movies first came out, my jedi training consisted of grabbing my grandmother's broom handle and beating the nearest tree to death.  Till her broom handle broke and she applied use of the dark side of the force to my rear.  I told her I was trying to be good.  She said "Try not, do or do not, there is no try".  Wait, maybe that was Yoda.  Anyway, things haven't changed too much these days.  Now as a chiropractor, I am still learning the ways of The Force.  Life-Force that is. 

 

The cells of our body are constantly dying and being replaced by new, healthy cells.  Two and a half million of them will die and be replaced every minute of your life.  This is a normal process.  Millions of proteins and enzymes are produced and consumed by your body during the course of a day.  Upwards of 3 trillion chemical reactions happen in your body each second.  There is an innate intelligence within each of us which controls this reactions, creates and recreates us on a continual basis.  In order for this process to occur, life-force or mental impulses must be flowing throughout the body to all cells and tissues.  Innate intelligence directs this life-force. This is where Chiropractic comes in.  If pressure or interference exists within the nervous system, it acts as a roadblock for those mental impulses as they try to reach their destination.  This interference comes from misaligned vertebrae and the Chiropractic adjustment is the only means of removing nerve interference!  If interference prevents the life-force or mental impulses from getting through, than cells and tissues cannot create and recreate, tissues and organ systems do not operate optimally, and we are susceptible to illness and disease!  D.D. Palmer, who developed chiropractic in the late 1800's said, "Life is the _expression of tone. In that sentence is the basic principle of chiropractic. Tone is the normal degree of nerve tension. Tone is expressed in functions by normal elasticity, activity, strength and excitability of various organs, as observed in a state of health." Tone is set by the normal flow of life-force through all the tissues and cells of the body.  As a chiropractor, it's my job to make sure that the life-force can flow through my patients normally so that their bodies can function optimally.  I do this by removing subluxations and allowing their own innate intelligence to work without interference.

 

Since 1895 chiropractors have been the defenders of the life-force.  Go see your chiropractor today, and may the life-force flow through you.

Memorial Day Weekend Prayer

 

Having spent a large and memorable portion of my life in the Marine Corps, this weekend holds special significance for me and all veterans.  A fellow veteran and good friend of mine Dr. Matt Isner in Florida sent me this not long ago and I thought I would forward it on to you.  Please just take a second to repeat the prayer to yourself and then pass it onto others.  The power of prayer works, so put it to work for our veterans this weekend.  Semper Fidelis....Dr. Gary Easter

 

Prayer  
"Lord, hold our troops in your loving hands. Protect them as they
protect us. Bless them and their families for the selfless acts they
perform for us in our time of need. I ask this in the name of Jesus, our
Lord and Savior. Amen."

Prayer Request: When you receive this, please stop for a moment and say a
prayer for our troops around the world.

There is nothing attached.... .. Just send this to all the
people in your address book. Do not let it stop with you, please....
Of all the gifts you could give a US Soldier, Sailor, Airman, Marine &others
deployed in harm's way,

Prayer is the very best one
