</div>
<p>A great way to get information about your specific health issue is with a phone session. This is something I have been doing successfully for several years. Not only can I give suggestions, but many treatments can also be done over the phone. This article is about what can be done on a phone session with me, how I work and how I do some of the common techniques I use.</p>
<p>The general label for the work I do is Applied Kinesiology or AK. I have been studying and applying this for over fifteen years now. Before I started learning AK I did other health related work with people, mostly adjusting work using my gentle techniques and teaching people how to adjust themselves.</p>
<p><strong>What Can be Treated with Applied Kinesiology</strong><br />
AK is a type of energy healing that uses a lot of different techniques. It has been greatly expanded since it was started in the 60&#8242;s by Dr. George Goodhart. There are techniques for many different health issues including allergies, brain chemistry balancing, emotional clearing, sleep issues, depression, liver issues, adrenal fatigue and much, much more. In fact, just about any health issue you can think of.</p>
<p>A lot of what I do has to do with biochemistry. This is a subject that is fascinating to me and something that I continue to study. Knowing how something works makes it easy to fix when there is a problem. Applied Kinesiology supplies the means to resolve most issues.</p>
<p>You can read articles about different health issues on my site, and reading the comments you will find people asking questions with practical answers from me. If you do, you are likely to learn something about an issue you may have.</p>
<p>At times diet and lifestyle need to be altered because nutrition is a big cause of many problems people have. However, a quantum healing can take place with energy healing techniques. But, there must be a way to find the issue and adjustment that needs to be made.</p>
<p><strong>Finding the Root Cause with Applied Kinesiology</strong><br />
AK uses muscle testing to find the root problem and best solution for different conditions. The way I do muscle testing on the phone is through surrogate testing. The principle is that we are connected energetically through the phone.</p>
<p>Often different conditions are linked together though they may seem to be entirely separate. With AK this can be unraveled so that only one or two supplements may be needed to help many different issues.</p>
<p><strong>Everyone has a Psychological Reversal</strong><br />
There are a few issues that I work with on every client. These are psychological reversals that affect health.</p>
<p>One of the most common has to do with birth trauma. At birth we are separated from the source of everything that was our world; food, home, warmth, protection etc. The trauma has to do with being separated from source. This can be considered many ways depending on one&#8217;s beliefs. An infant has no beliefs though, so for this test the client says, &#8220;life is good,” because that source was our life.</p>
<p>This reversal is called umbilical reversal since the separation was from our umbilical connection to source. It is very rare to find someone without this reversal. It causes people to make poor decisions. Another result is that muscle testing results are less accurate. There is a temporary fix I use for phone sessions. One longer term treatment is a teaspoon of raw sesame seed oil for two weeks. I recommend this to all my clients.</p>
<p>Another major psychological reversal that indicates severe fight or flight is indicated when someone goes weak when they say, &#8220;I chose to be happy.&#8221; The good news is that this can be quickly cleared with an emotional clearing  technique.</p>
<p><strong>Most Common Techniques</strong><br />
The emotional clearing technique is the most used in AK sessions. Emotions are usually the primary issue to clear first. There are two great techniques that I use, the most common one is called <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0979553709/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=sat036-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=0979553709 " target="_blank">The Emotion Code</a>. What I do is find the emotion, the client intends to release it while I do an energy healing technique, then they open themselves to allowing whatever is perfect for them to fill the space the released emotion used to fill. This insures that the cleared emotion does not return.</p>
<p>Allergy clearing is my second most used technique. Everyone has allergies when looked at through the AK view. This article gives more information about <a href="http://selfadjustingtechnique.com/allergy-treatment/" target="_blank">allergy clearing</a>.</p>
<p><strong>Resolve the Root Problem, not Just Symptoms</strong><br />
One of the most important things I do is finding the root of the problem. It makes no sense to treat symptoms as traditional medicine does as long as the client wants optimal health and is willing to make a few changes for optimal health.</p>
<p><strong>Knowledge is Power</strong><br />
Diet and lifestyle changes are some of the most important things people need to do for their health. Knowing the effects of what they have been doing to themselves gives inspiration to change habits and find better ways of living to promote a longer and more healthy life full of vitality.</p>
<p><strong>Schedule a Session</strong><br />
If you would like to have a phone session with me you can contact me through the contact tab above. I charge on a sliding scale which means that some people will be able to pay more than the base rate while others may need a discount if finances are difficult. Just let me know how it is for you. Also, the rate for subscribers to this blog is lower than my standard rate. Contact me for the current base rate.</p>
<p>If you have gotten a phone session from me before, be sure to leave a comment with your experience. And, be sure to add this to your social network with the social bar on the left.</p>

	<p class="wp-caption-text">How to Alkalize Your Body</p>
</div>
<p>Having a less acidic body is something that everyone should desire. A healthy body is slightly acidic overall. Getting that way is not hard, but it isn&#8217;t done with what you eat which is what most people think. A little biochemistry, simplified of course, tells you how to alkalize your body the right way.</p>
<p>One of the reasons having a more alkaline body is that major diseases like cancer aren&#8217;t likely to form unless the environment is acidic. Parasites also like acid, and most people have parasites too.</p>
<p><strong>How Nature Alkalizes the Body</strong><br />
Let&#8217;s start with the solution. A stomach that produces enough hydrochloric acid, or HCl, will keep the body at the perfect pH. PH measures the how acidic or alkaline a substance is.</p>
<p>But, very few people&#8217;s stomachs produce enough HCl, so taking HCl supplements with meals is necessary to keeping the body alkaline.</p>
<p>What? Taking HCl supplements will keep the body alkaline? How does that work?</p>
<p>I thought you&#8217;d never ask.</p>
<p><strong>How Taking Hydrochloric Acid Alkalizes the Body</strong><br />
The body is made the way it is for a reason. When food moves from the stomach to the first part of the small intestines the pancreas and gallbladder release digestive enzymes to continue the digestion process. These enzymes are full of minerals that are very alkaline. So, not only does digestion continue the way it is supposed to, but the acid in the partially digested food is neutralized.</p>
<p>In fact, it is these acid neutralizing minerals that effectively neutralize the acid in the entire body. To be clear, this is the overall pH of the body, certain parts need to be acidic to work right.</p>
<p><strong>The Infection Problem</strong><br />
Most people can&#8217;t just start taking HCl supplements. In fact, many people would be very unhappy if they did. The reason has to do with an infection that just about everyone has. This particular infection is one of the most common in the world, a bacteria called H. pylori, the cause of ulcers. The reason it&#8217;s so common is that one of HCl&#8217;s jobs is to sterilize the contents of the stomach, and since most people don&#8217;t produce enough HCl they get the infection because the bacteria is everywhere. Another problem with H. pylori is that if your infection is severe enough and you take HCl you will get an ulcer. Actually, you&#8217;d probably just stop taking the HCl because the combination can be really painful. The good news is that H. pylori is very easy to get rid of.</p>
<p><strong>How to Eliminate H. Pylori and Cure Your Ulcer</strong><br />
H. pylori doesn&#8217;t respond well to antibiotics because it hides in the folds of the stomach lining. It&#8217;s hard to detect for the same reason, but it is there in almost everyone. It used to take weeks to cure ulcers because it took that long to get rid of H. pylori using natural techniques while antibiotics almost never worked. However, it can now be done in only ten days. And, all it takes is two cups of tea a day for those ten days. <a href="http://www.baltcoffee.com/catalog/brassica-tea" target="_blank rel=">Brassica Tea</a> was developed at Johns Hopkins University where the <a href="http://www.brassicatea.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">studies on H. pylori </a>were done. It is laced with a high concentration of an antioxidant that is so powerful that it kills off H. pylori in just ten days. Even the worst ulcer will be cured within that length of time too. I&#8217;ve seen it work dozens of times.</p>
<p><strong>When You can Start Taking HCl</strong><br />
Most people can start taking HCl and drinking the tea at the same time. But, it might not be worth doing since the pain from the HCl can be pretty bad, if there is an H. pylori infection. There is a test that involves taking a couple tablespoons of apple cider vinegar with water on an empty stomach, but that can be pretty painful too &#8212; if there&#8217;s pain you need the tea first.</p>
<p><strong>What HCl to Take</strong><br />
Once you finish taking Brassica Tea for ten days you can start taking the HCl. The form you take it is is called Betain HCl. You&#8217;ll need about 1200 mg per meal to insure the release of alkalizers. And, most people will do well to take one that comes with pancreatic enzymes since most people are lacking in those as well. When using <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000OYMGU4/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=sat036-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B000OYMGU4" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">this HCl supplement</a> you will need to take two with each meal.</p>
<p>It doesn&#8217;t matter if a meal has protein or not, it&#8217;s the alkalizing you want. And, it&#8217;s best if you take the supplement about half way through the meal though it is ok to take it later if you forget. Up to 30 minutes after will still provide benefit.</p>
<p><strong>Action Steps to Alkalize Your Body</strong><br />
First, order some Brassica Tea and start drinking two cups a day. On an empty stomach is ideal. After ten days start taking about 1200 mg of HCl per meal. A little more or a little less is fine, though more is better than less.</p>
<p><strong>Conclusion and Contact</strong><br />
That&#8217;s all there is to having a perfect pH balance in your body. If you want to know where you are you can contact me for a phone session. I can do a surrogate test to find out how acidic your body is which would tell if you need to take HCl or not. Now you know <strong>how to alkalize your body</strong>, get started!</p>

<div>Trigger point therapy is one of the best methods of reducing or eliminating body aches and pains that I know of. In fact, I can get just about anyone out of pain with a combination of trigger point therapy and my gentle adjusting methods. Let&#8217;s explore what trigger points are and how to eliminate them.</div>
<div>
<p><strong>What Are Trigger Points?<br />
</strong>Trigger points are very small tension areas in a muscle. They are usually between the size of a pin head and a pea though they can get much larger in the bigger muscles.</p>
<p><strong>Cause of Trigger Points<br />
</strong>They can be caused by many different factors like strenuous work, stress and emotions. They can also be caused by other trigger points, those caused by other trigger points are called satellite trigger points.</p>
<p><strong>Trigger Points Effect Remote Areas<br />
</strong>The area around a trigger point is not where the pain is usually felt. They have a connection with the connective tissue, the fascia, within the muscles. Fascia connections reach far, as a result they can transmit their pain to other muscles through the fascia. This is called myofascial pain syndrome.</p>
<p><strong>How Trigger Points Form<br />
</strong>It&#8217;s amazing that a small little area can cause so much pain. It&#8217;s how they are made that allows them to cause so much pain.</p>
<p>The tension they create is in a very small area, but it is such that segments of individual muscle fibers, which are very short, are pulled to their fullest length and held taught. The tension in just a few hundred individual muscle fibers can cause a lot of pain.</p>
<p><strong>The Pain That Massage Couldn’t Help<br />
</strong>Have you ever experienced a pain that just would not go away? Maybe you got a massage, or had friends work on it, or you worked the area yourself, but no mater how much the muscle was worked the pain just wouldn’t go away. The reason is that the pain is referred from a trigger point located far from the area that you had your friends rub so hard.</p>
<p>The good news is that there is consistency in where trigger points send their pain. And, they are easy to release. With a little knowledge a lot of pain can be eliminated with ease.</p>
<p><strong>Finding Trigger Points<br />
</strong>Finding them on yourself is incredibly easy. They are usually in the middle of the muscle though this is not always the case. What is always true is that they are incredibly sensitive to pressure. Once you know the general area to look all you need to do is press around until you find it by how sensitive and painful the area is. Also, it may cause a worsening of the pain, or a twitch in the referred area. It will feel like a tight little pea in the muscle when you rub over it.</p>
<p><strong>How To Release Trigger Points<br />
</strong>Once you find the right point work you press into it until it hurts a fair amount. About a 7 out of 10 on a pain scale where 10 is unbearable. All you need to do is rub across it 12 to 15 times with that level of pain. Doing this several times throughout the day will eventually eliminate the pressure point. Be careful though, it can quickly come back if you haven’t eliminated the root cause.</p>
<p>Take a little time and feel around on your body to see if you can find any trigger points. I can pretty much guarantee you have a few. You may be surprised to notice the remote area that reacts when you press into a particularly tender point.</p>
<p><strong>Is This Of Interest To You?<br />
</strong>Let me know if you’d like more information about trigger point therapy and I’ll see what I can do to bring you more information.</p>

<p>Quite a few questions come in from people who have some intense issue with varying symptoms. There is one thing that I can recommend to almost everyone as a way of finding their way back to health: find out what food you are sensitive to. Here’s how you figure that out.</p>
<p><strong>Find The Problem<br />
</strong>The technique is for anyone with symptoms that are causing them a loss of ability to function in life. It is particularly useful for any gastrointestinal issues. Other issues can be very diverse because allergies can cause many different symptoms.</p>
<p><strong>How It Works<br />
</strong>This is the elimination diet. The idea is that some specific food is causing the problem. In many cases it is something that the person consumes often. It is even often something they consider would never be the problem.</p>
<p><strong>The Method<br />
</strong>The elimination diet is eliminating all major allergens for three weeks. After which, they are added back gradually to see which causes a reaction.</p>
<p><strong>What To Avoid<br />
</strong>The primary foods that cause intense reactions are grains, dairy, sugar, alcohol, caffeine and trans fats. Within the three weeks your symptoms will likely disappear. Keep going for the whole three weeks though, it takes that long to find out what is causing the problem.</p>
<div id="attachment_552" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 300px">
	<a href="http://selfadjustingtechnique.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/grain-field1.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-552" title="Wheat Allergy?" src="http://selfadjustingtechnique.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/grain-field1-300x225.jpg" alt="Wheat Allergy?" width="300" height="225" /></a>
	<p class="wp-caption-text">Wheat Allergy?</p>
</div>
<p><strong>Add Them Back Over Time<br />
</strong>After three weeks the body will have adjusted to not having to deal with the problem food, and it goes back to a nice homeostatic state &#8212; your symptoms are gone or greatly reduced. Adding the substance back will usually cause a major reaction that will be undeniable. Usually very quickly, but it can come back slowly.</p>
<p>To take care of that you add each item back for three days before adding another. Give it plenty of time to cause a reaction.</p>
<p><strong>For Example<br />
</strong>You might start by having some rice every day for three days. If there is no reaction then it is very likely that rice isn’t the problem. On the fourth day you might add in dairy products &#8212; you also might want to add dairy back one item at a time; milk, butter, yogurt, etc. You could also have rice since that will have already been eliminated. After three days of dairy add the next food. Keep going until you find the truth.</p>
<p><strong>Speed Up The Process<br />
</strong>You can speed things up by adding back the things you really like first. It’s usually something you are drawn to all the time, you might even think that you can’t get along without it, or would not want to get along without it.</p>
<p><strong>The Usual Suspects<br />
</strong>The main culprit is usually a grain, often dairy and sugar is almost always involved. Alcohol is often the problem if there is high usage. Trans fats should be avoided at all costs anyway, and they can cause a big reaction.</p>
<p>The most common grain allergens are: wheat, corn and oats. Any other grain can show up as well, but those three are the main ones I have seen. Wheat is by far the most common.</p>
<p><strong>Detox While Your At It<br />
</strong>Here’s a suggestion, Standard Process has a very good intestinal cleans program that takes three weeks. This would be the perfect opportunity to do something really good to promote your health. The kit contains all the supplements you will need and the protein shake mix that will replace a good portion of your food. It actually works out to a savings because so much of your food is supplied in the shakes. The only other thing you need are vegetables and a little fruit.</p>
<p>Use the contact tab to let me know if you want to save 20 percent off that kit.</p>
<p><strong>I Know It’s Hard<br />
</strong>Doing the elimination diet was one of the hardest things I have ever done. But, it was also one of the best things I ever did for myself. I did it with the cleanse, so I was doubly motivated. The really weird thing is that I pretty much eat this diet all the time now except for dairy. It just felt that good to eat that way. It took time, but the potential for serious disease conditions are almost completely eliminated with a diet free from grains and sugars. Add in a little exercise and you are probably going to live a very long time.</p>
<p>Also, there are things you can do to help out if you really feel too hungry. One thing about Standard Process, they’re practical.</p>

	<p class="wp-caption-text">Broken Hand Bone</p>
</div>
<p>With a little help broken bones can heal much faster than doctors say. I once told this to my boss over 30 years ago, long before I knew much about health at all. I did know something as I had the interest even then. I had read several health related books, mostly Adel Davis. Turns out my mentor was reading her at the same time. A lot has changed since then, but still my boss healed in half the time.</p>
<p>Actually, his doctor was flabbergasted. It was a clean break, but he has said that it would take ten weeks or so. Five weeks later Dave asked for an X-ray, but the doc said that would be impractical as they would have to take the cast off and there&#8217;s no way it was healed yet.</p>
<p>Dave went fishing a couple of days later and the cast got destroyed. On Monday he had to insist on an X-ray before being casted up again. The doc said that the only way he could find the bone fracture was because he knew where it was!</p>
<p>My arm had a multiple fracture that was supposed to take 16 weeks to heal, and 3 months before I could start exercising it more than just a little. It took 8 weeks, and two months after the break I was working with 20 pounds, a good amount for me in general.</p>
<p>I got started on the supplements a little late. Ideally one would take them before the break, but that&#8217;s pretty hard to plan. The earlier you can get started on them the better because a lot happens right after any serious injury.</p>
<p><strong>The Right Form Of Calcium</strong><br />
One of the most important things is to have a good supply of bio-available calcium which means its been ionized. That happens in the presence of strong hydrochloric acid (HCl) in the stomach. Most people don&#8217;t produce enough HCl to do this, so you&#8217;ll need to take supplements. There&#8217;s a problem though.</p>
<p><strong>Eliminating H. Pylori</strong><br />
One thing HCl does is sterilize the contents of the stomach &#8212; nature’s way of protecting us from pathogens. Without that a very common bacteria that causes ulcers takes hold. It is now very easy to eliminate H. Pylori by drinking two cups of Brassica Tea a day for 10 days. It&#8217;s really good for you, so get a little extra if you can.</p>
<p>Most people can work on getting rid of the bacteria and take the HCl at the same time, as long as there&#8217;s no history of an ulcer. But, it’s pretty uncomfortable for those who can’t though, so it might be worth drinking the tea first. If you do take the HCL and  it burns the stomach then take some baking soda to neutralize and drink the tea for 10 days before trying again.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/bin/w/o/TalalayInsideJohnsHopkins030702.pdf" target="_blank">Eliminating H. Pylori</a> was researched at Johns Hopkins University, they discovered the way to eliminate it with an antioxidant found in cruciferous vegetables like broccoli and Brussels sprouts. Here&#8217;s where you can get the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&amp;location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fs%3Fie%3DUTF8%26x%3D0%26ref_%3Dnb_sb_ss_c_1_12%26y%3D0%26field-keywords%3Dbrassica%2520tea%26url%3Dsearch-alias%253Dhpc%26sprefix%3Dbrassica%2520tea&amp;tag=petproandsupp-20&amp;linkCode=ur2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957" target="_blank">Brassica Tea</a> that has that is rich in that antioxidant.</p>
<p>You can get the betaine HCl at most health food stores, or get the one from Standard Process.</p>
<p><strong>Herbs For Pain And Healing</strong><br />
My experience with the recommended herbs is that they really helped with the pain. And, they aid in the healing process as well.</p>
<p>Most of the supplements are from Standard Process, some of the best supplements in the world. They distribute the MediHerb products too. There are links to the products on Amazon for your convenience. They give me a small percentage too, just to be on the up and up with you.</p>
<p><strong>BONE HEALING PROTOCOL</strong><br />
Take supplements with food and herbs on an empty stomach &#8212; two hours after eating to an hour before eating. Both with food is much easier to remember and fine to do, but separate the herbs if you can.</p>
<p><a href="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?lt1=_blank&amp;bc1=000000&amp;IS2=1&amp;bg1=FFFFFF&amp;fc1=000000&amp;lc1=0000FF&amp;t=petproandsupp-20&amp;o=1&amp;p=8&amp;l=as4&amp;m=amazon&amp;f=ifr&amp;asins=B001B7HTP0" target="_blank">Betaine HCl</a>: 1 capsule when you eat (except very small snacks which are best skipped anyway.)<br />

<p>The above are the main supplements. I thought I&#8217;d break if for those who may be on a budget. Get these if you can.</p>
<p>Cataplex F: two am, one pm. This is especially important if you don&#8217;t eat fish or take fish oils regularly.</p>
<p><strong>Herbs</strong><br />

Ginko: two tabs or 2mL am, one tab or 1mL pm</p>
<p>I prefer the liquid herbs because they are more cost effective and because tasting the herbs increases the efficacy. If you get the tabs because you don&#8217;t like the taste, try to  suck on them long enough to just taste before swallowing. Even a little can help a lot.</p>
<p>There’s the basics of how to heal a broken bone quickly. I hope you recover well with no after effects from your injury.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>Soft tissue injury is a major cause of physical debilitation for a lot of people. One of the main reasons for this is re-injury, injuring the same area before it has fully healed. Knowing how to heal injuries completely, can help you avoid a long healing process. Back pain issues apply to this category, but there are many other areas where this can also be an issue.</p>
<p><strong>Re-injury </strong></p>
<p>Over the years I’ve treated many different types of soft tissue injuries. The main things are sports injuries and trauma from accidents. But, the biggest problem, the worst type of injury is a secondary injuries, an injury to an area that is currently injured itself.</p>
<p>Even a simple sprain can turn into something that can take from months to a year or more to heal when if area is injured again. This is very simple to avoid, perhaps this warning will be enough to help someone avoid a long term, and expensive, healing process.</p>
<p>It’s tough for some people that are really into sports, but the first thing is to stop what you were doing that caused the injury in the first place. A healthy human body loves physical activity, so stopping is not always easy to do, but it is necessary.</p>
<p><strong>Treatment</strong></p>
<p>There are specific common treatments, but they can sometimes be confusing. For example, most people know that applying hot and/or cold to soft tissue injuries is something that will help, but when do you use hot and when cold? A simple guideline is to use cold when the pain is sharp, like right after it happens. An ice pack works wonders in helping to prevent swelling, and relieve pain. After a few days, when the pain is dull heat can be applied.</p>
<p>Another to work with hot and cold is to alternate them. Ice the area until it is good and cold, then apply heat. When practical, immersion in hot water works the best, but a heating pad or hot water bottle can be used. This expands and contracts the blood vesicles which help the stagnant blood and lymph move through.</p>
<p>Another treatment that has been used for centuries is <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arnica">arnica</a>. Arnica is an herb that has long been used as a treatment for strains, sprains and  bruises. It comes in different forms, an arnica cream is one of the most affective ones for soft tissue injuries.</p>
<p>In years past it was thought that immobilizing an injured limb was the best thing for certain types of soft tissue injuries. However, movement is now widely practiced. There is one stretching technique that can heal a spain in just a few days. Movement keeps blood moving through an injured area which keeps the flow nutrients and healing factors coming in.</p>
<p><strong>Conclusion</strong></p>
<p>With a little care, many soft tissue injury can be completely healed in a few days to a few weeks. Be careful though, just because an injury feels better doesn’t mean that it is fully healed, so give it an extra week or two. You can use that time to slowly build up strength in the area to help prevent future injuries which could take a lot longer to heal.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>Today I got an email asking about a particular point of view that is held by some schools of chiropractic thought. Let me have the writer pose the question. </p>
<p>&#8220;Hey Kalidasa,</p>
<p>Thank you for the fast response. You seem like a very knowledgeable person. I was curious to see what you thought about what my chiropractor told me yesterday. I already knew that the nerves from your spine control everything in your body and that is why it is vital for them to never be interfered with. He said that this is the reason why there is disease in the body; if there were no subluxations (misalignments), there wouldn&#8217;t be any disease. I was suspicious about that comment because it is basically saying that chiropractic is a cure all and there really is no need for medicine. I think that while having a healthy spine is very important, there is still a possibility that you will have an ailment from time to time, and  there are things such as poor vison, acne, and hair loss that will happen even if your nervous system is operating to it&#8217;s fullest. I was wondering what you think about this?&#8221;</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s my response. </p>
<p>&#8220;That is one point of view that a group of chiropractors take, I don&#8217;t adhere to it. I have seen miraculous changes with a simple adjustment, but that is rare. On a practical level, all disease is caused by a lack of some nutrient, a toxicity or a combination of the two. On another level, all disease is caused by emotions. I almost always find an emotional component to whatever I&#8217;m treating in someone. And on a final level, it&#8217;s all karma sometimes referred to as fate. Take your pick.&#8221;</p>
<p>When I treat someone I first ask whether the issue is physical, chemical or emotional, in that order. Unless it is something really simple like a fall knocking a joint out of alignment, emotions almost always show up first. </p>
<p>If it is a misalignment then physical often shows up next. This is an easy case, clear the emotion then realign the joint. The problem rarely recurs. </p>
<p>However, there are a lot of chemical issues that show up. This is where the real investigation comes in, the detective work. If there&#8217;s anything my friend and mentor Dr. G taught me, it&#8217;s the investigative nature of healing with natural techniques.</p>
