The Art of Things Natural

A different answer to my prayers.

2011-04-25T13:14:00.000-07:00

The BIG BAD PROBLEM! We all got them. Why? What is the point? This weekend was the Easter Holy Day. As usual I went to the church service, followed by the big family meal. This year my fiance was there which was a blessing and something new. There was something else I finally understood this particular Easter. I never understood how in the Bible Jesus one week before his crusifiction was paraded into Jeruslem praised and hailed the victor of the Jewish people and then 7 days later was cursed and crusified by those same people.

I never understood, but the people in the story had been praying to God for years to deliever them from slavery, bondage and lead them to the promise land. Jesus being the Son of God you would think would be the answer, but he did come to deliver them from there worldly situation. Jesus Christ instead brought with him a spiritual deliverance. A freedom from eternal death itself. Amazing! But like so many people in any circumstance we many times do not see the true gift.

I love this story because it so many time reminds me of my patients. Most folks who come into my office are in some sort of pain. There motivating factor is "GET ME OUT OF PAIN, NOW!"

This an interesting perdicument for me as the person they have come for healing in there body. The truth of the matter is, I am no healer, definitly not a Christ figure either. I am nothing more than a messanger.
The message is simple. The God given power in your body heals your body. The reason you are in pain or sick is because there has been an interference to the Power in our life and we have grown sick. The message for both the people in the Biblical story and the folks in my office is this. Getting you out of you physical situation is not the true healing. The true healing is a spiritual healing. It occurs when you reconnect to your source. When you reconnect to the power. When you start living a connected life.

Conservative Care FIRST

Good morning, it is a beautiful day. This morning I woke up with all of the intentions in the world to conquer my day, but it has been a tough one to plow through. From the minute I woke this morning I have had an ache in my heart. Sappy I know, but real. I watched a few clips on my email this morning, really heart wrenching. Of course they were all about life and health. The theme of the clips are that we (Americans) are sick. Sick, tired, depressed, fat and even dumb. One neuropsychologist was talking about the dumbing down of a nation due to over toxicity.
Well I made it to the office and bam! First patient of the day, a reactivate from about a year ago came in for neck pain along with her 2 childeren. her daughter who is 5 who I have checked throughout the years and her son who is maybe 18 months. I adjust the mother and then she asked me about children and ear infections. I say yes most definitely they need to get there spines checked! She tells me how her son has already had 2 surgeries to put tubes in his ears! AAAAAHHHHH! My heart races! Yes! We need to get him checked!
This child is sick! He has been through the medical system and the mother explain to me that he still gets ear infections! Medicine is failing her and her family!
The reason I tell this story is to apologies for my lack of education to my community. The fact that even my own patients miss the point of chiropractic.
Time to get back on track. Time to tell the story! The chiropractic story!

Scary stuff

2010-10-22T05:23:00.001-07:00

Dear Listener,

Easy does it. It is funny. Resistance to something so natural has been the story of my life. I had a 16 year old girl come into my office yesterday and saw me adjust someone and yelled, "THAT LOOKS SO SCARY!” Which, I held my tongue and said, “You should get adjusted sometime. It is awesome.”

You and I both know I could have gone off on the radical form of health care she relies on and trusts. NEEDLES! That is SCARY! DRUGS! That is SCARY! Asprin causes ulcers. Tylonol causes liver disease; the psychotropic drugs cause you to kill yourself and others. And yes these are not “side-effects”. They are the other-effects! There is nothing on the side.

Granted some drugs do help some people and people do benefit from these drugs. But…

The United States consumes 90% of the world’s Ritalin, production of Ritalin is up 700% since 1990 and nearly 5 million people in the U.S. – mostly children- are on Ritalin.

37% of people over 60 are taking five or more prescriptions at one time. Americans consume over half of all drugs in the world today.

We are only 5% of the world population. This is at a rate of over 25 million drugs per hour.

A vitally important story reported in the April 15, 1998, issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), sums up that a minimum of 106, 000 people die each year from properly prescribed medications.

This death toll may be as high as even 196,000, which places deaths from prescribed drugs between the 4^th and 6^th leading cause of death in the United States, just behind heart disease, cancer and stroke.

While only approximately 15,000 people die each year from illegal street drugs, over 100,000 are killed each year from properly prescribed medications.

The real drug problem seems to be the misuse and overuse of both prescription and over-the-counter drugs. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration say there are about 300,000 over-the-counter drugs available. Did you know that 75 percent of all visits to an MD end with a prescription? Did you know that pharmaceutical companies spend 10 billion a year to market their drugs?

Saying all of this, I have to say there is a better way. It is my responsibility as a chiropractor to inform people of their options, because no one else is going tell them. The importance of chiropractic, a clear nerve system, is of the utmost. The importance of spiritual clarity is imperative. The importance of and strong well fed body is essential. These are the things people need to hear. Listener you and I both know. It is time to start talking!

Sincerely, Dr Tickel

So it has been a trying day in the office today! Serving folks, but so many times during the day I feel like people do not want to be served, or even healed. I know my office is a haven for healing, but when told the truth about ones condition people are so often resistant to change.
Healing is nothing more than proper growth. It takes time. You have to feed the system, nurture the system, love the system and watch it grow.
If natural healing, god given healing, perfect healing is what your looking for you can have. See you soon.

A patient came in today for her regular check up. She has been seeking care for the most part to
help her coupe with pain. Knee pain, neck, back, you name it pain.
As usual, I asked about her family. She explained how her son just got the results back on his brain scan.
It was negative for cancer or a tumor! Thank god. The doctor told him to just live with the eye migraines and floaters and schedule his next appointment for 3 years from today.
I asked my patient, "Did you recommend to your son to come her and get checked? I can help with his symptoms" She said "No he is out of work and has no money." To copy MasterCard, Removal of a brain tumor: $100K, Chiropractic Adjustment: $45, a healthy body: Priceless.
She then began to explain that her son felt Chiropractic was a spoof and couldn't help him.
In my experience just on a symptomatic level chiropractic can work miracles. I have seen folks who have had headaches for 15 years cured their first visit. Did I do the curing? No, but when the spine is in alignment and the body is functioning at its full potential. It has the ability to cure itself of anything.
