Once, a large truck was driving through one of the busiest tunnels in New York City. The truck was so large, in fact, that it got stuck in the tunnel and could not back up or move forward. Traffic eventually got backed up for miles and miles. Dozens of traffic, accident, bridge, road, and truck experts were on the scene for hours trying to figure out what to do.  Just as the situation and the frustration of the experts were beginning to get out of hand, a 10 year old little girl poked her head out of the window and said, “Why don’t you just let the air out of the tires.” The dilemma was resolved.

THEME:  When life and the world are not working out, re-assess everything!

Even though Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years make up a total of 3 days, most people just call November, December, and the first part of January “The Holidays.”

Since it is “The Holidays,” you can be irresponsible and careless. You can eat mass quantities, put all sorts of horrible “Holiday” items in your body, stop exercising, miss adjustments, spend too much, and put important things off because, after all, it is “The Holidays.” In total, you end up with a 6-10 week reign of terror on your life and body.

If you add to these two months to all of the other times you tend to abuse or ignore your health, such as parties, anniversaries, other “holidays,” birthdays, weddings, weekends, secretaries day, etc,  you are basically being irresponsible for your health (and many other areas of your life) conservatively three months out of every year. (25% of every year)

By the time you are 40 years old, you will have spent 10 years doing serious, possibly irreparable damage to your body, your finances, and possibly your whole life. This is another reason why people are supposed to live to 100, but only make 75. (25% off)

“The Holidays,” are a time designated to celebrate and appreciate God’s blessings. However, they have become a time dedicated to shortening life and falling short of your God-given potential. Clearly, it is time to look at “The Holidays” from a new perspective.

Of the tens of thousands of sick and suffering people I have met, examined, and consulted, not once have I heard one of them say, “I wish I had done less for my health all of these years.”

What they do say, in every case, is “I wish I had met you ___________ years ago.”

WELL, you have met me, please take advantage of it.

Enjoy the Holidays (6-10 days). Yet, keep you and your family alive in the process

Healthy lifestyle triggers genetic changes: study

WASHINGTON - Comprehensive lifestyle changes including a better diet and more exercise can lead not only to a better physique, but also to swift and dramatic changes at the genetic level, U.S. researchers said on Monday.

In a small study, the researchers tracked 30 men with low-risk prostate cancer who decided against conventional medical treatment such as surgery and radiation or hormone therapy.

The men underwent three months of major lifestyle changes, including eatinga diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes and soy products, moderate exercise such as walking for half an hour a day, and an hour of
daily stress management methods such as meditation.

As expected, they lost weight, lowered their blood pressure and saw other health improvements. But the researchers found more profound changes when they compared prostate biopsies taken before and after the lifestyle changes.

After the three months, the men had changes in activity in about 500 genes — including 48 that were turned on and 453 genes that were turned off.

The activity of disease-preventing genes increased while a number of disease-promoting genes, including those involved in prostate cancer and breast cancer, shut down, according to the study published in the journal
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

The research was led by Dr. Dean Ornish, head of the Preventive Medicine Research Institute in Sausalito, California, and a well-known author advocating lifestyle changes to improve health.

“It’s an exciting finding because so often people say, ‘Oh, it’s all in my genes, what can I do?’ Well, it turns out you may be able to do a lot,” Ornish, who is also affiliated with the University of California, San Francisco, said in a telephone interview.

“‘In just three months, I can change hundreds of my genes simply by changing what I eat and how I live?’ That’s pretty exciting,” Ornish said. “The implications of our study are not limited to men with prostate cancer.”

Ornish said the men avoided conventional medical treatment for prostate cancer for reasons separate from the study. But in making that decision, they allowed the researchers to look at biopsies in people with cancer before and after lifestyle changes.

“It gave us the opportunity to have an ethical reason for doing repeat biopsies in just a three-month period because they needed that anyway to look at their clinical changes (in their prostate cancer),” Ornish said.

The Bottom Line:

What is health? Health is not; how we feel (we can have cancer inside our bodies and still feel good), it is not what we put into our bodies (we can eat and do everything right and still get disease, who do you know that has done everything right and still got disease or died early), and health is not genetics. Even the American Cancer Society reports on page one of their Cancer Facts and Figures 2008 Report. It states, “Only 5% of all cancers are strongly hereditary, most cancers do not result from inherited genes but from damage to genes that occurs during ones lifetime.” So 95% of people are designed to be healthy. So why are so many people still dying of cancer and heart disease if it is preventable. No matter how strongly you believe that cancer is genetic, most likely it is because we have the same health patterns as your parents or grandparents. We look at health the same as our parents. We wait for something to happen (illness or disease) and we treat by going to the pharmacy. Damage to our genes comes from the chemicals that we put into our bodies from the air, the food, and the medication. Yes, the medication! Check most any medication and it will either say carcinogenic and mutinogenic on the warnings. The only way to break the chain from what your parents or grandparents have been doing is by doing something different. Have you or your loved ones been checked for the health destroying effects of subluxation? Health is how your functioning, and the only way to see how your functioning is to see if there is damage to the only system that creates function, your nerve system.
