Journey to Wellness

JOURNEY TO WELLNESS

posted 03/24/2008
Welcome to our first article on wellness. Over the next few weeks and months our plan is to talk about how you can take steps to improve your health over time. Most of us want instant gratification but real health doesn't work that way. It is a process that must be addressed on some level every day.

My own "journey to wellness" began about eight years ago. After being a practicing chiropractor for 17 years, I felt there must be more I could do to help people get well and stay well. After attending a seminar by John Brimhall, D.C. from Mesa, Arizona I was hooked. His premise after 35 years in practice and study is there are "SIX INTERFERENCES TO HEALTH". To improve health one must address each interference as follows:

1. Re-establish spinal balance, the foundation of health.
   
   
2. Re-balance electromagnetics -( electricity, microwaves, cell phones etc weaken our systems)
   
   
3. Re-build nutrition for organ/gland weakness.
   
   
4. Re-program the body for allergies/sensitivities.
   
   
5. Re-evaluate emotional patterns and remove limiting belief systems.
   
   
6. Remove heavy metals and other toxins from the body.

Over time we will discuss how each of these interferences can be addressed and introduce you not only to our practice but the myriad of other practitioners on the island who work to balance one or more of these interferences. These other practitioners range from naturopaths, massage therapists, reflexologists, palates instructors, yoga instructors, accupuncturists and others.

One of the things that defines wellness or holistic practitioners is that our techniques are based in quantum physics. In simplest terms: the flow of energy through the body and how that affects our body, mind and spirit.

Energy medicine does not just look at symptoms, but also at how all the systems of the body work together as a whole. Every organ, tissue and system of the body is interrelated and communicate with, and affect each other. Our pain and symptoms may be coming from the area of pain or may be referred from other organs and systems. Holistic or wellness health care looks at you from many directions, not just where it hurts.
