The 5 Most Important Concepts to Understanding the Truth about Health and Illness

The following concepts were first brought together by Dr James Chestnut who shines a light on the natural physiology of our bodies and the current destruction of health that is occurring in our society today. If you understand these concepts you will be armed with the ability to make health care choices that are based in logic and not on mass marketing, whether it's the "vaccine of the month" or the latest fad diet.

1. Our genes are programmed for health. It is toxicity and/or deficiency affecting gene expression that leads to sickness NOT faulty genetics. In other words don't just lay there and blame your parents.

2. Our genes do NOT differ from our paleolithic, hunter-gatherer, pre-agricultural, pre-industrial ancestors.

3. Our ancestors, and surviving tribes that model their lifestyles, did NOT die from the diseases of lifestyle like heart disease, hypertension, cancer, diabetes and stroke or suffer from the degenerative or autoimmune diseases like arthritis, lupus, M.S., chronic fatigue, low fertility, and depression like modern humans do.

4. The only difference between our healthy ancestors and our sick society is toxicity and deficiency. The genes are the same.

5. Modern illness is due to environmental NOT genetic factors. Modern illnesses are AVOIDABLE!! Modern health is ATTAINABLE!!

Bottom line here is that we haven't changed as humans, we have only changed our environment. Once we begin living like we were intended we will obtain health.

Most Dangerous Driving Day of the Year

Researchers at AllState Insurance dubbed today the "most dangerous driving day of the year". Yup, December 15th Mars and Venus align perfectly on this day to make the magnetic energies of large vehicles collide. Why this always happens on December 15 is way beyond me.....fact is that it does.

If you are unfortunate enough to be one of the folks caught up in a car boo boo, you must visit your Chiropractor that is specially trained in the whiplash (spinal trauma). There is a lot more to spinal injuries than just your pain level and the amount of damage done to your vehicle. Many people will not experience symptoms until weeks or months after an injury, some people will just put up with pain expecting it to "just go away" on it's own, and others will rely on pain pills, anti-inflammatory, and muscle relaxants (what we call the "triple threat") thinking that chemicals will be the answer to a mechanical problem.......it won't. In fact, between 42%-62% of the people injured in rear end auto accidents will have permanent damage that affects their daily life.

If you're local to Yorba Linda call my office 714-777-2500 and get a detailed examination, if you're not local call my office and I'll get you a referral to someone else that knows what their doing.
