"Why Keep Going Back?"

Have you ever had your car tuned up? Your answer is, "Yes, I have". We all have been taught how important it is for our vehicles...

Now...My question to you is, how often does the car driven by "The little old lady who only drives to the store" need to be tuned up? Once every 6 months? Less? Much less?

Now, how often is a top performance race car tuned up? Every day? Before every race? Why is that?

They tweak and tune the vehicle to get the absolute peak performance from the car. They want their car at race-winning level at all times!

Could they stop tuning it up? Of course....But if they did, what would happen? Would it keep running? Sure...But would they still be winning races? That is the question...

Chiropractic care is like this...

Our bodies are living, high-performance vehicles that need to be kept tuned up. The more and harder we use them the more important it is to keep them tuned up. If we want to keep at top performance we need to keep tuned up.

Sure, a person can go without chiropractic care, but they will spitter and sputter around the track of life. These people would rather live with bad performance and accept it as "normal" than to spend the time and money to get their vehicles at race-day performance and keep it there.

It is up to you....Keep chiropractic as your regular tune-up or watch the other cars pass you by.

Success is not a destination...it is a journey!

Are you telling others about the miracle of innate intelligence?

Special Announcement!

As you know, we have eliminated the free exam card in our office. We have implemented what I have talked about doing for years: a chiropractic orientation night.

To qualify for a family wellness plan, patients need to attend at least one orientation. If you are a current patient that has not attended one, there is a $$$$$ incentive for you to do so. We are offering a $25 credit to your account for attending the one hour orientation. For the non-patient who attends and decides they want to start chiropractic, their exam will be done at no cost to them.

Beginning Monday, September 13th, the class will be held *every Monday at 6:15 for 1 hour. (*holidays and special notice excepted)

Space is limited so please sign up in the office prior if at all possible...We will hold the class as long as there is someone there by 6:15.

So why should you come? The orientation is designed to enlighten and refresh your knowledge about your body and chiropractic but mostly give you additional tools to live a healthy drug-free life style.

This, too, is the place to bring those people that you are talking to about starting chiropractic but they are unsure. They will have a non-threatening way to find out first hand the benefits of their decision for chiropractic care.

I have a mission...a goal...a dream...to see people living life to the fullest without subluxations robbing them of life. Will you help me in seeing that goal a reality?...Please, tell your friends, strangers, and family about this...bring them with you kicking and screaming if necessary...you WILL change their life!

COMiNG SOON:

Dr. Ross will be holding a 6 hour seminar: Three hours on "Healthy Pregnancy and Delivery" and three hours of practical information on "Raising a Healthy, Drug-Free Family in The New Millennium".

We will be at the Hilton Hotel in Mesa, Arizona. Once a firm date can be established from the hotel more details will be released.

In the meantime be planing for this information packed day.

The Research Says....

Antibiotic Use in Infancy Linked to Increased Risk of Asthma

Clin Exp Allergy 1999;29:766-771.

WESTPORT, Jun 23 (Reuters Health) - Use of antibiotics in early childhood appears to be associated with an increased risk of asthma development, researchers from New Zealand report in the June issue of Clinical and Experimental Allergy.

I have observed for years an interesting and scary pattern to children's health and this study gives more fuel to my fire...This is the scenario...

*Mother is induced to birth early...it is VERY painful...epidural is used to ease the pain...(these will speed first stage of labor and SLOW 2nd stage according to the drug manufacturer)...The baby isn't coming fast enough for the doctor's taste so forceps are used (now, vacuum is getting to be the method of choice but according to the New England Journal of Medicine the vacuum extractor can still exert 35 pounds of force.)

These abnormal forces in the birth process increase the stress on an infant during the most stressful time it will go through in its life. This increased stress, if the baby cannot fix it, (which the drugs used during birth interfere with) will create a SUBLUXATION...These are the colicky babies...

(A study out of Europe found that 94% of all colicky babies responded favorably to chiropractic care)...If something is not done, these kids "grow out of colic" but then start into the nasty cycle of ear infections (and lots of antibiotics).....then, these kids get older and start into the asthma symptoms (this is what the research at the beginning was referring to).

From this point I usually see gastrointestinal problems of one sort or another develop. It is a cycle that is so common it as truly scary!!!

What is the solution?

YOU!

If this describes your child (or you as a child), begin with a chiropractic exam for subluxations...It is the subluxations from the birth process that started the problem...wouldn’t it make sense to address the source of the rest of the malfunctions?

No kids yet? Have grand-kids? It doesn't matter...We all know people with children like this. If they have not heard about chiropractic eliminating subluxations to break the downward spiral of ill-health in their child they are doomed to live this statistic.

Would you help me change a child's life?...Tell everyone you know about this research and about pediatric chiropractic.

You could help a child breath easier.

Literally.

Change a child's life/

I am actively seeking the difficult, hopeless cases as well as anyone who is interested in raising children naturally and drug free from conception throughout their lives. This is my goal and my mission! If you want to change someone's life tell them about this practice and what we do here. There is hope... It comes from the miracle that was created in us that made our bodies!

"STUFF"

Want to know if an egg is fresh? Immerse it in a pan of cool, salted water...If it sinks, it is fresh. If it rises to the surface...Throw it away.

To get rid of itch from mosquito bites...Try applying soap on the area...Instant relief!

Ants everywhere?...Well it is said that they will not cross a chalk line...So get out the chalk and draw a line on the floor or wherever they are marching and give it a try!

Now that you are under chiropractic care and you don't need those Alka Seltzer put them to good use...

*Clean the toilet!...Drop two tablets in wait 20 minutes brush and flush...Critic acid and the effervescent action cleans vitreous china.

*Clean a vase...To get the stains out from the bottom of a vase or jar fill with water and drop two Alka-seltzers in.

*Polish jewelry...Two tablets in a glass of water and immerse the jewelry for two minutes (careful with this one.)

*Clean a thermos bottle...Fill with water, drop in four tablets and soak for an hour (or longer, if necessary).
