When I was about 15 years of age, I was fortunate enough to have the ability to play baseball with the older guys on a City Team. As you may or may not know they didn't have the older organized leagues back then. On the team there was a recent Palmer Chiropractic graduate that befriended me and because I found the theory so interesting began giving me adjustments. He set up office in town and I continued to see him. Went off to college in Hattiesburg, Ms. and fortunately he move his practice 30 miles away in Laurel, Ms. and I kept seeing him twice a week and he never charged me a dime but said I could reimburse him after College, which I did. Dealer, my sister can vouch for my health record and knows all about my trek with Chiropractic. It is somewhat simple to me - Every nerve to every vital part of your body comes through your neck. What is the first place one realizes the manifestation of STRESS - yes, the neck, not to mention the back, head and legs etc. Thomas Edison said a long long time ago, future medicine and their cures will look to the SPINE. Did you notice if you are old enough how the older your mother and father became the SHORTER they also became. That is simply the spacing in their spine contracting as a result of a lack of manipulation not to mention many other external factors. I have not lost any of my height since college but all of my friends have. My chiropractor says I have the spine of an 18 year old because of my adjustments and has shown my X-rays to many less fortunate patients. I am convinced that almost every reaction in the body is somewhat related to electrical energy funneled from the brain to the brain stem and through the spine. It doesn't take a genius to see how the impingement on said nerves coming through the spine could result in a less than desirable flow of electrical impulses to all our vital areas. My ultimate conclusion after all these years is that it just simply keeps the immune system functioning at about 100%. Almost all of my friends are either dead or sick with almost everything you can think of, Diabetes, Gout, High Blood Pressure, Glaucoma, prostate problems and last but not least, a lack of mobility and severe lower back and leg pain. I have no aches of any kind, no ITISES and rarely even colds. Can still do my 35 pull ups that I could do in college and hit as many as 200 golf balls on the range with a 50 inch driver and not suffer one ounce of soreness. This cannot be just dumb luck. Probably he greatest investment I have ever made INCLUDING QCOM was the day I walked into my Chiropractor's office and asked if he would adjust me for life if I gave him $10,000 cash and he accepted my offer. Will probably save me a half million dollars over my lifetime IF HE CAN STAY HEALTHY because he does not get adjusted as often as I. BTW - he has spurs on his neck as most do AND I DO NOT. One day I'll tell you the story of how my Angels got me on minerals about the same time in my life. BTW - just got back from my Friday visit to my Chiropractor. Good luck, V
