My doctor said, “never go to a chiropractor!”

At my office this week, I spoke with several patients who let me know that their medical doctor (M.D.) told them never to get adjusted by a chiropractor. It always boggles my mind when I hear this said. Not only are chiropractic adjustments unbelievably safe but they help millions of desperate & hopeless people who were once sick, diseased, ill, & drugged regain their health naturally. It’s even stranger to me to hear this mentioned by a patient, especially when they walk through the door taking a list of medications, all at one time.

Any wonder why our medical system is the #1 cause of death every year? Is this what her medical doctor went to school for? To drug the death out of their patients! And yet, they have the nerve to tell their patients not to see a chiropractor or seek safe, effective chiropractic care. Who in the world do these people think they are? Do you think we’re kidding when we say medicine and our health care system is dangerous and kills people? In my opinion, unless you are experiencing a life-threatening emergency and require urgent/crisis care, then drugs and surgery can only hurt.

Want to learn the truth? Want to learn how you can avoid having to go see one of these doctor’s of death? Want to learn how chiropractic adjustments save millions of lives every year? Want to learn about the most powerful thing you & your family can do to live a long, healthy, drug-free life? Would you like to learn why chiropractic gets so many sick people well, and keeps so many well people well? Want to be liberated from the medical tyranny and chemical shackles that have chained your body and mind? Want to live a life without fear?

“SO DOC, HOW LONG IS THIS GOING TO TAKE?”

When you’ve lived the first 60 years of your life without worrying about getting any major disease or shortening your life with bad habits, you tend to think you’re invincible. When you’re young and in your 20’s and you feel pretty good, you’re pretty sure you’ll be around for a long time. You never expect a major illness to knock you over and change your life forever. That’s exactly what happened to me. However, it took 21 years to diagnose my illness and visits to many different doctors who had no clue what was wrong with me. They just wrote out prescriptions for my “mystery” illness. It took a liver biopsy to stop the madness.

The first sign that “something” wasn’t right happened in August, 1979 when my daughter was 6 months old. I bent over to pick her up and heard a “pop” in my neck. I spent the next few days in bed in severe, intractable pain. I went to the ER and they gave me Valium I.V. which didn’t help the pain at all. I had similar neck problems and back problems for many years after that until I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis in August, 2001. The doctor that diagnosed me was actually an orthopedic surgeon, a hand specialist. A classic symptom of this autoimmune disease is bilateral pain (both sides) in the same joints. Both of my wrists felt like they were on fire. I went to this doctor thinking I had carpal tunnel syndrome. It turned out that I did have CTS, but I also had a torn tendon in my right elbow. This doctor repaired the CTS and my elbow giving me full use of my arm again. I call it my bionic arm. However, when both of my wrists began to ache at the same time, the doctor ran blood work and that’s when I was diagnosed with RA. I was referred to a rheumatologist who said he was going to help me. He never promised a cure. He said a “remission” is the best I could hope for. So, for 5 years, I trusted my rheumatologist. But alas, something worse would strike in early 2005.

One of the medications I was taking was literally destroying my liver. It’s called Methotrexate. It is a cancer drug, but I didn’t know that until much later. It’s used for RA in very low dosages. When a patient is on this medication, they are supposed to have a liver biopsy after the dosage reaches approximately 3 grams. My doctor let me go much longer and my liver enzymes started going up. By that time, I had received over 6 grams of Methotrexate over the 5-year period. The only way I can describe a liver biopsy is that it feels like you’re being shot! You remain awake because you have to be able to take a deep breath on command. I was placed in a CT scanner, the biopsy needle was aimed at my liver and after I took the deep breath, the needle was shot into me like a bullet. Force is needed to break the liver capsule that protects the liver from injury. It felt like all my organs shifted to the other side of my body and then back again. It was the worst experience of my life. After the biopsy, I had to lie on my right side for 2 hours to prevent my liver from hemorrhaging. A pressure bandage was applied to help protect the wound. As I waited to be discharged, I thought a lot about what had just happened to me and that I would never allow it to happen again. I had already stopped the Methotrexate, but I vowed to stop everything else I was taking. After 5 years of treatment, I didn’t feel any better. In fact, my pain was worse than when I started treatment. I had constant sores in my mouth. I had gained a lot of weight from the steroids they gave me to help with the pain. I knew then that I needed another treatment mode and it wasn’t going to be more surgery and drugs.

One day, my husband asked me to go to a chiropractor with him. I was amused. I thought “what’s a chiropractor going to do about my RA?” He pretty much had to drag me into Dr. Dan’s office. Prior to chiropractic care, I had been taking most of the following drugs:

Prednisone, meloxicam, tramadol, hydrocodone, oxycodone (after surgeries), Plaquenil, methotrexate, Vioxx, Bextra, large doses of ibuprofen, Daypro, Indocin, naproxen, estradiol patch, Premarin, Prozac, Paxil, Nexium, Bentyl, Tagamet, Darvocet-N100, Ultracet (which contains Tylenol), Urocit-K, Soma, Flexeril, Deseryl, Ambien and Klonopin. Not all of these drugs were taken at the same time, and none of them stopped my pain or helped me sleep any better. That’s 28 drugs folks. I might have even forgotten a few.

My rheumatoid factor continued to climb, indicating my RA was still very active. Some of the drugs mentioned above were recalled, i.e., Vioxx and Darvocet-N100, for serious side effects (including death). I’m amazed I’m still alive. I’m also amazed I have never developed an ulcer from the many anti-inflammatories (NSAIDs) I have taken throughout the years including aspirin. The steroid meds. (prednisone) worked but caused me to gain weight and caused severe insomnia. They are probably the reason I am developing early cataracts. Steroids also cause thinning of the skin, the outer surface of internal organs and contribute to osteoporosis. Steroid medications caused the death of my mother-in-law. Her bowel ruptured because of thinning of the intestinal wall. The drugs I was given were in addition to the many vaccines I received throughout my life including yearly influenza vaccines, MMR, hepatitis B, the pneumonia vaccine, and of course, booster shots, etc. I worked in a hospital for 23 years and these vaccines were readily available to hospital workers for free. I was also a guinea pig for the infamous swine flu vaccine in 1976. I am a polio sugar cube vaccine guinea pig and I got the small pox vaccine. I consider myself a drug/vaccine survivor. Guess what? Vaccines don’t work. I still got the flu and I still got pneumonia. I contracted chickenpox and measles on my own, but I have no idea why I was given the measles vaccine. Well, actually I do. Big Pharma says we are still vulnerable to get these diseases. Well, I am here to tell you, if you’re healthy, if you exercise and if you eat healthy, you won’t get sick. Period! And of course, get regular chiropractic adjustments.

I met Dr. Dan but I still wasn’t convinced that chiropractic was for me. I mean, how can an adjustment take away RA? However, I stayed with the program and today I can say that I am so much better. I still have problems, but nothing like I had before. My RA factor has gone way down. I don’t have the joint pain I used to have and I’m on the road to recovery. I’ve been a patient for 5 years now. I’ve attended 9 or 10 Extreme Makeovers and I’ve changed the way I eat. In fact, I’ve lost 20 pounds because of eating better. Unfortunately, I also lost an extra 10 to 15 lbs. during a recent illness, so I lost muscle as well. I am currently lifting weights to build up my muscle mass.

Recently, I experienced another set-back. I developed some lower lumbar pain (probably sciatica). That’s why I named this testimony “So, Doc, how long is this going to take?” I get frustrated when things go wrong. I get down when I get ill. Everybody does to some extent! But I’m here to tell you that if you’re a new patient at YFCC, results don’t happen overnight for some of us. I have big plans for my life. I want to swim again. I want to be able to walk 5 miles. I’ll be happy to begin with 1 mile at a time. I currently drink about 120 ounces of fluids per day usually mixed with Green Vibrance in alkalized water. I eat very little meat if any at all. Red meat causes inflammation and that’s one thing I don’t need. So, I eat fish. I take supplements recommended by Dr. Dan. Yes, I occasionally “cheat” and eat something I shouldn’t, but that keeps me accountable. No food is ever off the table forever and I keep that in mind. But, healthy foods are my usual choice. It gets easier and easier to avoid “bad” foods. It’s a gradual process. All artificial sweeteners are definitely off my list forever. I read labels and I listen to my body. If something hurts, I know I’ve done something I shouldn’t have.

I just celebrated my 65th birthday. That’s pretty late in life to start over, but it’s not too late! I want everyone to know it’s NEVER too late to change your lifestyle. Dr. Dan has been a godsend to me. I continue to learn from him, and even though things go wrong with me once in a while, I want him to know I’m staying the course. I can’t wait to be able to exercise more. I can’t wait until I can sleep through the night without pain. I can’t wait to be in a 5K (a 1K would be fine). For someone who’s been pretty much a toxic dump site for Big Pharma and Monsanto, I think I’ve made a lot of progress. I will see my miracle. It’s just taking longer than I want it to.

So, to anyone new to YFCC, please be patient. You too will heal. If you’ve been toxic for a long time, it may take longer to de-toxify. I’m proof of that. Never ever be discouraged. Stay tuned for updates on my healing. I plan to write more as healing changes occur.

Psychedelic Science, Magic Mushrooms, and Kaleidoscopic Cancer

Got Cancer? Why not treat it by taking a trip? Researchers say that say that LSD, mushrooms, and Ecstasy may be useful against the anxiety generated in patients with cancer. They also say that this is another small step toward showing that hallucinogenic drugs, famous but condemned in the 1960s, can one day help doctors treat conditions like cancer anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder. The New York University conducted one of the many studies that is now going on in the U.S. and elsewhere with drugs such LSD, MDMA (Ecstasy) and psilocybin (the main ingredient in “magic mushrooms.” Experts emphasize that people shouldn’t try psilocybin on their own because it can be harmful, sometimes causing bouts of anxiety and paranoia.

Well, I believe this one tops ‘em all. It doesn’t get more absurd than this! There are thousands of ways to comfort and quell the stress and anxiety levels of patients suffering with cancer as well as other diseases. These scientists need to get a clue and in all of their trying with billions of research dollars (that they are flushing down the toilet), determine the cause of cancer and get these people well and give them back the life they deserve.

How is this done? Teach these scientists and their patients the Maximized Living lifestyle.

Walkin' in victory!

Just before I started the EMO, I decided to go off all of my antidepressants. I had been on the antidepressants for eighteen years and on seventeen different ones during those years. Every doctor that I had visited during those years told me that I would be on the drugs all my life. However, no matter what drug I was on or combination of drugs I was unstable emotionally. Constant depression hung on me even when on three or four pill cocktails. I was told that there was no other way. I had to take the pills and maybe a little exercise would help. When a person is that depressed, they do not feel like moving any part of their body. I would go to work half alive, sometimes contemplating suicide. I never got past the contemplating to the planning stage because of the support that my husband and my art gave kept me going.
In 2008, I received a VNS implant. It stimulates the Vagus Nerve as it goes into the brain and causes serotonin to be produced. It was the first time in my life that I experienced joy. I mean I experienced it at a different level than I had ever felt it before. Now I had something to fight for. Now I knew what life could be. But it took a mammogram finding a cyst in one of my breasts to shock me into trying even harder to lose weight and get my health back. So I started correcting my diet. I lost 40 lbs in 6 months. I went gluten free and pulled other things out of my diet, but the depression was still there. Even with the VNS and three antidepressants.
Then a relative recommended Dr. Dan. He looked at my x-rays and determined that the curvature of the neck that he calls the Arc of Life was not curved at all. This in itself could have caused my depression. So we started the adjustments. Over time the adjustments have made a massive difference in my mood, focus, and mental clarity.
At the same time Dr. Fernandez started the detoxification program to remove the excessive accumulation of lead from my body. I was feeling so good that I went cold turkey off the antidepressants. I didn’t tell anyone. I lasted about 4 weeks until I had to call Dr. Dan to tell him that I might have to go back on the drugs. Before going back on the drugs, I tried some great natural brain supplements to balance the brain as it needed it at that time. I came back to near normal faster than any antidepressant had ever done for me. I have up and down days, mostly up now and without the drugs that have ruled my life for eighteen years. When I needed support to just get through those tough days, the staff, and especially Dr. Dan were there to comfort me. This support has meant the world to me. No doctor has supported me in my quest for health as he has. I know that I have come home to where God wants me to be with my health.

Race for Health

In less than two weeks, you will have the opportunity to take part in an historic event. In less than two weeks, hundreds of people from all over Lake Mary and surrounding communities, hundreds of people from all over Seminole County and surrounding counties will join together for a cause. For the first time in history, mothers and fathers, sons and daughters, grandmothers and grandfathers, sisters and brothers, pastors, firefighters, social workers, doctors, lawyers, and stay-at-home moms alike, blue collar workers, white collar workers, people from all walks of life, all races, religions, creeds, ethnicities, and origins will join together in support of a grand vision for change.
April 10th, 2010 will mark the very first annual YFCC Race for Health. For the first time in history, we will join together as a human race, not for the sake of finding or funding a supposed “cure” for disease, but for the sake of health itself. For the first time ever, we will join together in fellowship for the sake of promoting health and wellness, preventing disease, and living life to our fullest God-given potential.
So many races, runs, and walks have been conducted in the past in support of the “cure” for this disease or that one. Whether its breast cancer research, autism awareness, or the cure for cystic fibrosis, it seems every event supposedly for health is always fully focused on disease. How much sense does this make when what we’re really seeking is optimal health and human performance? Not one dime generated at these events goes to increasing the awareness of how to live a healthy lifestyle and prevent sickness and disease. Not one dime collected goes towards spreading the powerful message that we all know is the true foundation to healing from all sickness and achieving abundant longevity and vitality. Instead, the enormous amount raised from the donations of well-intended people goes in large part to drug companies – to BIG PHARMA – so that these companies can continue to manufacture their chemicals and brainwash us into thinking health and happiness come in the form of a little orange bottle with a white cap and a typed label.
April 10th, all of this changes. The morning of April 10th will mark a celebration of the human healing power, of responsible lifestyle choices for ourselves and for the people who depend on us, of overcoming adversity, and of understanding that all health, wealth, happiness, knowledge, and wisdom comes not from without – but from within. Join us in continuing to bring the truth to the masses, in saving and transforming lives, and in holding up the human race.

Be a Doer!

February 15 2010, was truly a turning point in my life for a number of reasons. I had my first adjustment. After over twenty five years of suffering with what the medical doctors called an enlarged prostate, I got my life back after only a 90 second adjustment by Doctor Dan. He was able to remove the blockage from the brain to the prostate with just one adjustment. I was then able to completely empty my bladder without the usual stress, strain, and pain I had been suffering with for the last 25 years. That one adjustment also ended 25 years of waking up 7 to 10 times at night to try to empty my bladder along with the difficulties associated with trying to manage this condition all throughout the day. I now have my life back and can now function in the way that our Grand Creator Jehovah God intended. YES, “The Power Is On Baby!"

That very same evening, I attended my first Extreme Makeover class. I can truly say that these past 6 weeks have been an enriching, eye opening experience for both my wife and I. In addition to restoring my normal prostate function, we have had our eyes of understanding open to the selfish, greedy deception, fomented by the “FDA”, “AMA”, “THE CANCER SOCIETY” and so many other big business organizations that should be more concerned with the life, health, and welfare of their fellow brothers and sisters of our human family. How true are the words of our Lord Jesus when he said: “And YOU will know the truth, and the truth will set YOU free.” John 8:32

Jesus’ half brother, the Apostle James once said: “… become doers of the word, and not hearers only ... For if anyone is a hearer of the word, and not a doer, this one is like a man looking at his natural face in a mirror. For he looks at himself, and off he goes and immediately forgets what sort of man he is. But he who peers into the perfect law that belongs to freedom and who persists in [it], this [man], because he has become, not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, will be happy in his doing [it]. (James 1:22-26) As Doctor Dan so nicely emphasized in his opening remarks each week, “we must be doers and not hearers only”.

My wife and I have become not "forgetful hearers, but doers [of the word]." For example, our shopping habits have totally changed. We now read with a greater understanding all labels before we make our selection of food items we purchase. We are completely off of all refined sugar, milk products, bad fats and processed foods. Other than a little fish and chicken, we are off of all red meats and fast food or should we say "toxic poisons”.

We have like-wise gone through the food we have already purchased before the EMO, to throw out all the poisons. We have replaced all the poisons with real organic food where possible. We will soon be sifting through our house hold cleaning items, to weed out all the poisons we may now have. Yes, we can truly say that February 15, 2010 was a turning point in our lives. It can only get better from this point on. Since that time, we have also been able to assist 8 other people to experience the blessings associated with the Yachter Family Chiropractor Clinic.

To sum up how we feel, after six wonderful week of intensive instruction, I would like to borrow an illustration used by our Lord and Master Jesus Christ after he delivered his famous 'Sermon on the Mount'. In that sermon, Jesus gave his listeners detailed instruction on how to successfully live their life. He outlined the things they should do and the things they should avoid. He then concluded his sermon with the following illustration: “Therefore everyone who hears these sayings of mine and does them will be likened to a discreet man, who built his house upon the rock-mass. And the rain poured down and the floods came and the winds blew and lashed against that house, but it did not cave in, for it had been founded upon the rock-mass. Furthermore, everyone hearing these sayings of mine and not doing them will be likened to a foolish man, who built his house upon the sand. And the rain poured down and the floods came and the winds blew and struck against that house and it caved in, and its collapse was great.” (Matthew 7: 24-27)

It is our hope that all those who had the privilege of attending the first 2010 EMO, will be like the discreet man who listened and built his house upon the rock-mass. For when the rains and the flood and the winds of life's adversities blow into our lives, because we have built our life on a solid rock mass by applying the many strategies we learned at the EMO, we will not cave in or collapse like the foolish man who did not listen and who built his life upon the sand which latter collapsed.

Keep up the good work Doctor Dan.

We love you and your staff.

How the Extreme Makeover has Changed My Life!

By: Sheri J.

Change is tough! Changing your lifelong belief system that is main stream is even tougher. The Extreme Makeovers have made me aware of different changes that I have needed to make in my life to live healthier, happier, and more physically fit. This is my 6th Extreme Makeover and each Makeover has made incremental changes in my life and by association my family’s lives. My girls and I have been patients of Dr. Dan’s for almost 5 years. I found Dr. Dan because I was searching for a more natural way to correct my daughter’s ADHD than the medication Strattera she was using. I came and listened to the Doctor’s report that Dr. Dan gave and knew this was the path that I wanted her to take as well as the rest of my family. She has been off Strattera for almost 4 years now, is a sophomore in high school and achieved a 3.9 on her grades last semester. Between getting adjusted every week and by implementing things I’ve learned about eating from the Extreme Makeovers, she has no need for the medication. Seeing her reach her potential is a blessing!

During each Extreme Makeover I have been challenged to make changes in my life and eating habits. In the first Extreme Makeover I attended, I learned that I really didn’t eat as healthy as I thought. I challenged myself to stop drinking coffee and using artificial sweeteners. We were taught to make just 1% changes and that was what I tried to do. Each Extreme Makeover I have made changes and continued these changes. I started drinking half my body weight in ounces of water each day. Then I added ¼ tsp of salt to the first quart of water I drank each day for a natural detoxification. I started cooking with Coconut Oil and my family really liked it.

Next came changing out the meats we ate for Publix Greenwise meats. At first my husband wasn’t sure about that change, but now he insists it tastes sooo much better. I started reading labels and eliminating foods from my house that had bad fats and bad sugars, especially high fructose corn syrup. I made more and more 1% changes that were really adding up. These changes were making a big difference in my health as well as my family’s.

The biggest change in my life happened last May. I discovered a leak under my kitchen sink. Mold was growing behind my cabinets. My health was compromised by the mold. I had a VCS test done in Dr. Dan’s office. I failed it! I had passed it before so I knew there was a definite problem. I didn’t feel good and I couldn’t concentrate or focus. After failing the VCS test I was given the dreaded news, “You must go on the Advanced Healing Diet to get well.” Wow! I had tried to do this diet once before with my daughter several years before and failed miserably. At that time I didn’t know enough about how to do it and the support system at Dr. Dan’s was not as established as it is now. I started the Advanced Healing Diet immediately. Not only was the diet a challenge, but I no longer had a kitchen to cook in.

The insurance company gutted my 1958 kitchen and killed the mold. My kitchen was blocked off with plastic for more than a week. So, I cooked on the gas grill outside. The grill also had one burner that I could use pots and pans on. We got a convection/microwave oven (I only use the convection oven) that was eventually installed in our new kitchen. I washed my dishes, pots, and pans in the shower or bathroom sink. We mostly ate at home so that I could eat healthier and we could save money for the kitchen we now had to install. It was July before I had a workable unfinished kitchen. It was September before my kitchen was completed.

Since May, I have come a long way on the Advanced Healing Diet. It is now just the way I eat. My family is not eating anything different than me when I cook so they are also reaping the benefits of a good diet. My health is much better. I have lots of energy. I feel younger. I feel great and my head is not cloudy. I am still about 90% on the Advanced Healing Diet after 10 months. Dr. Fernandez said I could eat certain grains to help increase my BMI. I could not have been as successful on the Advanced Healing Diet without the knowledge that I gained from the Extreme Makeovers, Dr. Dan, Dr. Fernandez and the YFCC staff, the Ambassador Healing Diet Support Group (which I helped start) and my good friend Diana who is also on the Advanced Healing Diet and is my accountability partner.

This Extreme Makeover I set goals to increase my BMI (Dr. Fernandez said I needed to raise it), increase my exercise and eat more veggies. I started working out with Max twice a week (YFCC boot camps). He has helped me raise my BMI as well as my muscle mass, muscle tone, strength, and endurance. I am working on incorporating more veggies into my meals or snacks. I now drink the Green Vibrance and Vega every morning. It is my “coffee”. My body craves it. I also drink green veggie smoothies with added wheat grass almost every day.

Every Extreme Makeover gives me encouragement and surrounds me with like minded individuals that give me inspiration. In July 2010 you will see me at the next Extreme Makeover, because God isn’t finished with me yet!

The Benefit of Exercise on the Brain

Benefit of exercise on the brain is the generation of large amounts of serotonin, the lack of which is why people take drugs such as Zoloft, Paxil, Effexor, and Prozac.

Exercise naturally boosts serotonin, which improves mood and can even snap you out of depression. It improves memory, decreases anxiety, helps with cognition, increases attention and focus, and helps with learning, especially for children. Children who exercise receive all the above benefits and therefore develop and grow healthier than kids who don’t. Because their brains are healthier, their bodies are healthier.

The more we exercise, the more oxygen we push into our bloodstream, the healthier we’re going to be and, thus, the more energy we’re going to generate. When we move, our cells get energized as they become oxygenated. Oxygen and glucose are the primary driving forces in the production of energy within a cell, so the more oxygen you can drive into a cell, the more energy you’ll have.

Getting to the cause!

Dealing with the cause; this is what chiropractic is all about. The miracle of chiropractic lies within its ability to find the underlying cause of dis-ease, sickness, and pain and to remove its source; without drugs or surgery. Why deal with symptoms when you can deal in CAUSE! If a person has diabetes, heart disease, cancer, neck pain, asthma, or headaches, etc. they will get NO better from drugging or treating their condition; in fact, they will get much worse over time, since drugs and other medical TREATMENTS seek to cover up, mask, or band-aid the symptoms while the person’s body is actually getting worse and more dis-eased; this will almost certainly cause an untimely death. Seems obvious, but not obvious enough to the 1.1 million Americans who were killed last year due to living a “covering up” lifestyle and followed their medical doctor’s advice of drugs and surgery to “fix” their problem.

One of the most important concepts to understand is that the PARTS are always more important than the WHOLE! For example, if you have a sick kidney or sick kidney cells, it is impossible for the rest of your body to be well. The kidney needs to be nourished with the right nutrients, plenty of healthy water, and most importantly full nerve supply. Even if the rest of the body is seemingly healthy, it never really will be if the filtering system is not truly functional. If the parts are sick, the whole will be sick. Likewise, if you treat a person with a heart problem with heart medications, that person’s entire body will suffer ill effects and never truly be well. In fact, the heart problem along with the medications will make that person’s entire body dis-eased.

The most critical component in staying well or keeping the parts healthy is making sure that the communication system that runs the body is free and clear of nerve interference (subluxation). Subluxation robs the body of vital messages that are designed to tell each and every tissue cell exactly how to run. Each tissue cell must receive healthy messages first, then the rest of the body can be well.

Chiropractic is based on a SIMPLE truth; that the body needs no help to heal, just no interference. To the right you will see under “normal” a picture of a healthy brain-body connection, where the brain is communicating with the cells of the body properly. Under phase I, II, & III, you are looking at spinal cords that are being interfered with due to stretching and compression; and as a result will be sending distorted messages to the cells of the body. Which spinal cord would you rather have? Which person do you think will be healthier? Which person do you think will live longer? Which person do you think will heal from the flu faster? Which person do you think has a better survival rate if they’re diagnosed with cancer? You see, this is why I became a chiropractor. It’s simple, it makes sense, it works, and because it is based on God’s laws of health and healing, it produces AWESOME CHANGES. Chiropractic’s only goal is to remove any and all interference to the brain-body communication, thus allowing the brain to send clearer messages to all tissue cells of the body; thereby elevating the healing potential of the entire body and allowing it to heal itself. The chiropractor isn’t the doctor! The doctor is already inside the patient. The chiropractor is just the facilitator.

DEADLY/AGGRESSIVE CANCER GONE!

ANOTHER HEALING AT YACHTER FAMILY CHIROPRACTIC CENTER

Clinical case: Mike Moton entered Yachter Family Chiropractic Center (YFCC) on October 14, 2008. He began receiving chiropractic care and started the Extreme Makeover 40 day challenge shortly thereafter. Prior to entering YFCC, Mike’s medical doctors had administered 2 sessions of chemotherapy in an attempt to destroy a rare form of deadly cancer known as pancreatic adenocarcinoma. The doctors gave him 4-6 months to live. After the second treatment, Mike decided to walk away from the chemotherapy and adopt a natural healing path, which included primarily chiropractic adjustments (removal of subluxation) and healthy lifestyle changes like improved diet, ingesting limited amounts of only organic meats, vegetables, and fruits, vigilant food label reading, exercising, and enrolling in the YFCC detoxification program. 90 days later, Mike’s cancer is gone. HE IS HEALED! This has been substantiated and thoroughly documented via medical diagnostic equipment and technology.

What created Mike’s extraordinary success? He followed everything we taught him at YFCC to the letter. He was an exemplary student, fully committed, engaged in the program, and put his full trust in the POWER THAT MADE THE BODY TO HEAL THE BODY! The doctors of course can’t explain it!

Time management does not work!

You have to be the master and not the slave to time and understand that real time management is not about TIME or MANAGEMENT. It is really about your goals and dreams and your own determination to have clear plans and clear boundaries. And when you have the skill of awareness that you really are the leader and captain of your own ship and that the core of great time management is just the clarity of goal setting, you’ll find that this realization will give you a whole new solid foundation and focus. Our January 18th workshop, “We will ascend in 2010” will show you how to set goals that will allow you to soar like an eagle all year long.

TOP REASONS WHY PEOPLE FAIL TO ACHIEVE THEIR NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTIONS:

1. Lack of clarity

2. Fear of change

3. Lack of accountability/negative consequences

1. Clarity: Write down your goal in specific detail. Make sure to state it clearly in the present tense. Thoughts take on added power when we write them down, but we must write them down in specific ways if we want them to manifest as real in our lives. For example, I write my goals as if they have already occurred. “I am working out with a personal trainer 2 times/week at 5am, weighing 170 lbs., 7% body fat, with a BMI of 21. Make sure to sign your name to your declaration and post it where you can see it every day. Also, post it where everyone else in your home can see it every day. That will really create some serious social pressure to see the process through. I like to also declare my goals and dreams in front of my patients. At one workshop over a year ago I declared that I would be fluent in Spanish by 2010. Patients continue to remind me of my commitment 1 year later. The pressure is on and I will accomplish my bilingual goal.

2. Fear: We need to eliminate anything that is in our environment that would remind us of how comfortable we were in our old state. We need to have visual and audible representations in our new environment representing a new season and a new direction in our lives. New conscious and subconscious programming must take place. We must begin to feed our minds a steady diet of positive and reinforcing images. We must get around people who’ll support and encourage our new direction. We must get around encouragers. We must get around friends and family who tell us, “Yes, it’s possible for you to change!” If we don’t redesign our environment to support our new direction, then the fear of change and the comfort of the old will always draw us back into our old, “pre-resolution” lives.

3. Accountability/negative consequences: Sorry, sheer willpower and desire won’t cut it. I struggle as much with disciplining my life as the next person. I find that the only way to achieve successful follow-through on goals, plans, and visions is accountability. There must be something or somebody to whom you must answer. There must be a negative consequence to you not doing what you said you’d do. There must be pain associated or connected to you not following through. You must have the realization that if you don’t show up, follow-through, or achieve your plan, your character, integrity, trust, or reputation will be tarnished or seriously damaged. There’s got to be a price to pay. The higher the price, the higher the chance of success! Tell a friend that if you don’t achieve the goal that you set, that you will give them $100, $500, or even $5,000. You pick the dollar amount. The only caution: the loss of the money must to be more PAINFUL than the disappointment of not following through.

MARK YOUR CALENDAR! ATTEND THE GREATEST WORKSHOP OF 2010: “HOW TO ASCEND IN 2010” to be held Monday night, January 18th at 7pm @ the Lake Mary Events Center. Invite all of your friends and family to join you at the event that will kick-off the next decade as well as the greatest year ever. At this workshop you’ll learn the goal planning ideas, success and life strategies, and the ‘visioneering’ skills of the top performers in every walk of life. Don’t miss the most important workshop of the year. This workshop will arm you with the tools and resources that’ll enable you to soar like an eagle in 2010. Together, we’ll soar like eagles in 2010 and work to achieve all of the dreams and visions that God has placed in our hearts.
