PROBLEMS

Problems - what are they? Where do they come from, what causes them? How are you best able to cope with problems and why do they seem to pick on you?

The world is full of problems, however, all do not victimize you. Everyone has his or her problems. Some are imaginary, some are real. It's how you live with them that counts. As you think, so you are. As you continue to think, so you will become. So you doubt this? Well, think it over, and cautiously watch your step.

Some people make mountains out of minor issues,. Some laugh at the things that assail them. It is all in the state of mind. Do you believe this? Well, let us see. Are you becoming deeper and deeper in debt? Do yo spend less? Do you set a goal and not go beyond it? You can do anything you make up you mind to do.

Is your task difficult or hard to accomplish? Take the first step and keep on keeping on. As you sow, you reap. As you do unto others, they will tend to do unto you. That is human nature, and it often creates problems hard to overcome.

You may say your problem is ill health. You are sick of being sick, and whatever you do seems to react adversely for you. You take medicines to gain relief, but the side effects take over that are often worse than the original complaint. What can you do about that?

Change your approach. Medicines only add to the fire of insecurity. Try Chiropractic and give it a fair trial.

We doctors of Chiropractic have a different approach. No medicine, no pain killers, no surgery except in emergencies which do create adverse problems. Thus, use judgment. With Chiropractic, spinal adjustments are made by the skillful hands of the chiropractor. With this done normal nerve energy is released, function is restored, and the symptoms disappear, thus adding life to years and years to life with ability to meet its problems, fears, and worries.

"He who fears he will suffer, already suffers because he fears."

-Michel De Montaigne

Plan For Tomorrow

Tomorrow is constantly coming, and yet it never seems to get here. What can be done about it? Is there anything you can do? Are you sometimes dismayed or concerned by the prospects? Nevertheless, one must keep planning for tomorrow. Make its coming welcome. Be ready for change constantly coming. Look forward with a feeling of delight as changes come and plan to do your very best as all things are altered. Use today as a stepping stone hopefully to better things ahead in the game of life and, win or lose, you will have the joy of keeping on keeping on, as you play the game.

Do you ever say your today is hampered by ill health? And perhaps that often your plans for tomorrow are marred by headaches, indigestion, or some other hurdle involved in the game as it is played?

This may be true. But, what are you doing to welcome change? Are you forming a drug habit? Are you leaning towards tranquilizers or pain killers? What assurance do you have that tomorrow will be better or worse than today should you fill your stomach with drugs that always produce side effects, often times worse than the original complaint? Is this an encouraging outlook?

What is health? Is it not largely the normal expression of life through the medium of the glands, organs, and other structures of the body? What is it that keeps these structures normal, as they were intended to do? Expressly, it is the nervous system and the hormonal systems of the body, as they are the reasons you feel good OR do not.

The nervous system is as vital to the activity and function of the body as is the electrical systems are to a modern home. Ground an electrical wire and service is impaired. Pinch spinal nerve bundles and symptoms of dis-ease are present in the form of pain, headaches, indigestion, and other related disorders.

What can be done about it? Is it logical to suppose that a "quick fix" medication or pain killers are the remedy? NO!

Falls, accidents and other mishaps incidental to life frequently produce shocks and strains on the spine that displace one or more vertebrae to a degree that results in nerve interference and subsequent dis-ease with its associated various symptoms. Clear the nerve channels and health comes from within outward as nature has provided.

                                  Success is a series of failures ... put to flight.

Just A Thought In Life

Have you ever been aware of what you are thinking about at any given moment throughout the day? Even though you might not be able to answer that, but your mind is always active. Some thought, regardless of size, is constantly passing through your mind. It may be a memory, a song, or even a picture.

And what exactly is a thought? Usually they are generally short-lived, discrete events of your life. They generally are not the ordinary sounds heard everyday or the sights you are conscious of daily. Do you actually think mentally, or is a thought just a passing reflection without any given pattern? At times you do concentrate on a given theme and something constructive is accomplished. Your thoughts are creative and you become deep in thought, a thing that no other animal can do. But even so, do you actively engage in mental creation or does it come from some other source somewhere?

What are you doing right now, at this very moment? Are you engaging in actual or passing thought, or is it a mental or spiritual reflection having more or less interest? What becomes of each passing thought? Where does it go during sleep or at time of death? On such occasions. the physical body either remains dormant or disintegrates. But what about the mental or spiritual aspect? Is there a logical answer?

What is life anyway? Where does it come from and where does it go? Within the womb of the mother, for instance, a physical creation takes place and at a given time a combined reaction takes place and a baby is born with a mental and physical element all of its own. Mental impulses call for nourishment and physical growth. This takes place for a given period of time until adulthood is reached after which physical growth is arrested. Maintenance and reparation continue all through life maintaining a state of being until "death do us part."

But, what about the processing of maintaining health and function or activities of daily living. What regulates this element? What changes common food, for instance, into flesh, blood, and bones, hair, skin and nails that are then distributed when or where needed? Do you ever give thought to this reaction? Do have any idea as to how this is done in such a unique way? Does the process require pills, drugs, shots, physiotherapy or simply passing thoughts on your part?

There is a logical answer, and that is a qualified no. All functions and activity of the body are directed and controlled through the nervous system that stems from the brain and spinal cord. The spinal cord is encased within the spinal column and sends out bundles of trunk nerves through openings provided for that purpose between the vertebrae that form the spinal column.

Through this medium, sensation reaches the brain where the message is interpreted. Responding mental impulses set glands and organs to activity and function, in a process of directed or controlled, a definite activity in a state of health.

However, sometimes there is a disturbance in this process. Illness or disease takes place and various symptoms are present including pain, numbness, fever, headache, indigestion and a myriad of others. Why?

In most cases the symptoms prove as a warning that something is not functioning as it should, a red flag of sorts. Something needs to be done to correct the cause of the problem. Does this require you to take pills, tranquilizers and/or pain killers? This kind of treatment often times produces side effects worse than the original disorder. You must treat the cause!

And this is NOT merely a passing thought.
