DO NOT SILENCE YOUR INNER VOICE

Your body is intelligent and filled with wondrous mechanisms designed to keep you alive and healthy. These mechanisms include symptoms such as pain, rash, fever, diarrhea, vomiting and others. Although unpleasant, these symptoms help your body heal, cleanse and restore itself to balance and harmony.

Symptoms tell us the body is struggling to regain balance and restore itself. If we suppress our symptoms (prevent them from doing their job) with medications and/or surgery the result can be harmful because illness may never leave but rather be driven deeper.

John Upledger, DO tells this story:
"A friend and general surgeon with more than thirty years experience once confided to me that, in retrospect, he felt the majority of surgical procedures he had performed might be classified as excisions of the 'vocal apparatuses' of the inner selves of the patients. He meant that by removing certain organs or tissues, he was eliminating the bodily voices that were attempting to communicate the presence of deeper emotional or spiritual problems in need of attention."

What's the best way to deal with uncomfortable symptoms? Work with them! Let them do their job. In their wake you'll be a healthier, stronger person. Chiropractors, by correcting subluxations, permit your body to function at its optimum so it may fully express its symptoms to burn off poisons, eliminate infection, cleanse, rest, rejuvenate and heal. While medicine uses drugs to suppress symptoms, chiropractic promotes symptom expression. Chiropractic helps support your body's cleansing processes (symptoms), which are its self-healing mechanisms.

When we take drugs to suppress our aches, pains, fever and other uncomfortable symptoms we are silencing our inner voices. Rather, we each need to increase our sensitivity to it. It is constantly whispering to our every cell leading us toward greater wholeness, fulfillment and healing so we may enjoy a long, healthy, happy, loving life.

Wake up and pay attention to the small, subtle signs of physical or mental dis-ease now, so your body and mind won't have to use serious illness to get your attention later.

Listen to your heart. Observe your dreams. Often the best indicator of ill health or dis-ease is your own intuition.

Look for the subtle clues now. Practice health optimization now rather than disease treatment later. Don't wait - do it now while you still have the energy and the will to act.
