Want More Hours In Your Day? Try Upper Cervical Care

13 Benefits Of Upper Cervical Care: Part 8

We are all given the same amount of time in a day, 24 hours or 1,440 minutes or 86,400 seconds. Why is it then that some people seem to be so productive in the course of a day, while the greatest accomplishments for the day for others may be just getting out of bed, getting dressed and eating three meals? Have you ever been asked what you did the day before or over the weekend and for the life of you, you could not recount any worthwhile accomplishment? If it’s the weekend you can usually get away with saying “I just relaxed” (although you may not feel that rested and you wish you could respond with an exciting, event-filled weekend.) Why is it that so many people just do not feel like they are getting anywhere in life, not accomplishing their goals, not getting ahead in work and/or accomplishing more of the lofty goals they had as a young person?

Time-management people say that the major problem is not that people do not have enough hours in the day but that they do not use the time that they have in a wise manner. To be successful people must prioritize their day. It is not enough to just have a list of things to do but to make sure that the list indicates the importance of the things to be done and that the most important things are done first. Sadly for many people the functional state of their nerve systems checked via upper cervical care is just not a priority in their day. They would like to but the “tyranny of the urgent” controls their lives. They do the things that they have to do rather than the things that they want to do. Often the “have to do” things are not even important when it comes down to it—but we have just not prioritized our day. Another reason why people do not accomplish what they should or what they want is that they just do not have the energy to do everything that needs to be done. How many people spend an hour or two or more in front of the television or Internet and their to-do-list goes unfinished. They just did not have enough energy. If this happens long enough, what usually occurs is that the person stops making lists (and probably ends up watching more and more television or more and more time unproductively online.)

Another problem with “too few hours” is poor planning and not scheduling your day most effectively. As a result, we are re-tracing our steps often going past the same place twice and generally wasting time. So what can we do about these problems? Well, follow the experts’ advice. Prioritize your day, make out a schedule of things you need to do and follow your plan. Make sure that you schedule periodic visits for an upper cervical checkup. It will give you more life, enable you to keep up an active schedule and get all those things done that you need to do with energy and time left over. Try it, you may be surprised at the results!

Want A Longer Life? Try Upper Cervical Care

13 Benefits Of Upper Cervical Care: Part 4

With few exceptions, all of us would like the opportunity to add years to our life, especially if they were quality years in which we could be productive or enjoy the activities of retirement. While it is true that people are living slightly longer than they did a century ago, it is debatable whether the quality of that life is better. We know though that it is possible to live a longer life, even to live a good, long life. There is an old adage that says, “If you want to live to a ripe old age, choose your grandparents wisely.” The point being that there are some things that are out of our control. We have a genetic “shelf life” built into each of us and that varies widely from one person to the next. Yet, generally speaking, experts suggest that the human body was designed to live 120-150 years. In fact, some scientists believe the human body was created to live a thousand years! Even taking the lowest figure, 120 years is still far more than most people live, although there are people who do live well over 100 years demonstrating that it is possible. If it is possible for one person to do it, then the body is designed to live that long.

Still, it is unusual enough that if someone does live to be 100, the local newspapers want to do an interview and ask him or her what the secret to longevity is. Some of the “secrets” these centenarians give are quite amusing and often contradictory. One will say he drinks alcohol every day, the other says he never touches alcohol. One says hard work, the other says no work! But of all the questions asked, one question is never asked. Why does less than only one in 1,000 live past the age of 100? What is keeping the rest from reaching the century mark?

Honestly, none of the 100 year olds seem to have a “special secret,” and there is no secret to longevity common to them all. As much as diet and exercise are important factors, that does not seem to be the secret. Many of them do not have diets different from the average person and many of them do not regularly exercise. Conversely, many people who eat well and regularly exercise all their lives do not live nearly as long. Does that mean you should ignore good eating habits and regular exercise? Of course not. But there must be something else, some factor that is common to everyone, that prevents 99+% of the population from reaching 100 years of age.

While not claiming to have the answers, I have a suggestion. The ability of your body to generate life, the vital mental impulses to all parts of the body enabling them to work in a coordinated manner, is essential to a long and healthy life. Some people may have naturally better functioning nerve systems, more powerful generators if you will. Clearly, the ability to get these vital messages through to all organs, tissues and cells is as important a factor as the ability of the body to generate them in the first place. It’s no coincidence that people who do not live to be 100 have bodies that quit working properly. The heart is the most common factor but we also blame pre-100 deaths on problems of the lungs, kidney and liver.

Here’s another question no one seems to be asking. If the body is designed to last 120 years, why do some of the parts break down along the way? One factor definitely is a lack of vital life energy from the brain to the parts over the nerve pathways. That is where upper cervical care comes in, correcting head/neck misalignment that can deprive the body of life-giving, life-extending, vital mental impulses. Does that mean that being under periodic upper cervical care will guarantee a longer life? No, there are no guarantees that you will not be hit by a truck tomorrow. But we can say just by sheer logic that, all things being equal and barring unforeseen trauma, if you have a good nerve supply, you have to live longer than if you do not. Just as, all things being equal, exercising and eating healthy will extend your life. Upper cervical care simply enables you to have a good nerve supply.

All Aboard The Upper Cervical Express

ALL ABOARD!

Disease treatment (represented largely by medicine) and health restoration (represented by upper cervical care) are two approaches to the health and well-being of individuals. They are like two trains on parallel railroad tracks. The two trains are essentially going to the same destination, that of physical, mental and emotional well-being. The objective is to lead a long, productive and fulfilling life, expressing your maximum potential through as much of it as possible. Which is going to get you there in the fastest, most efficient manner? If we can follow this analogy, we might describe the medical track as the Local and the upper cervical care track as the Express line.

The Local (medical) track is really not concerned with getting its riders to the ultimate destination as quickly as possible. It has another priority, stopping at every little junction along the way. This is analogous to the idea of treating diseases. Medicine believes that by treating disease, “scheduling” their train with disease in mind, they can reach the destination. Some people ultimately do reach a long, productive life, despite the many disease stops they make along the way. Sadly for some, due to genetic problems, poor health care as a child and injuries, they have no choice but to take the Local. But there is another group that is even sadder. This is the group that wants to reach the train’s final destination but still chooses to take the Local. They make every little stop along the way and often never reach their ultimate destination.

In traveling back and forth between New York City and Trenton, New Jersey for three years on the Express an individual could never understand why people would opt for the Local rather than the Express. He could understand if they were only going to Princeton Junction, but if they were traveling all the way to New York, why take the Local? Most of the time the reason was fear. The Local was standing in the Trenton station ready to go. The Express, on the other hand, was coming up the east coast from Florida and had not arrived yet. Despite the train station’s assurance that it was “On Time,” they opted for the Local. He would always smile as the Express passed them somewhere south of Newark.

Taking the Express does not guarantee you will get there sooner. The train could break down or be delayed, and there are still a few stops that it has to make along the way. Upper cervical care is not a guarantee that you will lead a healthier, more productive life. You could get run over by a truck walking out of the upper cervical doctor’s office and even if you don’t, you will most likely have a few “disease stops” along the way. But if you are truly interested in being as healthy as you can be, leading a full, productive and long life, your best chances are in taking the Express.
