My Story:

I was not blessed with good health. As a child I caught every bug that came through town and suffered from almost constant headaches. I saw good hearted doctors and had various diagnoses and often had temporary relief, but no one could tell me why I was always sick and in pain. Most days of my life I took medications for pain, sinuses and medications for my stomach because the other medications I took upset my stomach. But I was still sick and in pain.

In my 32 years in practice I have noticed that many of our biggest successes come after severe illness, injury or painful life experience. We finally open our minds and heart to something new. We realize that if we continue in the same direction we will probably get the same results, (or lack of results) as we have in the past. It’s time to try something new. Time to try something that we are not totally comfortable with. My life was changed by two decisions I made.

My Journey back to health: My first step back to health was when I saw a Chiropractor. I injured my upperback while weight lifting and after some unsuccessful treatments, was encouraged to go to a Chiropractor.

Well, I was surprised. After about 3 weeks of care not only was my back pain almost completely resolved but my headaches had improved by about 70 percent. I still experienced frequent headaches but the daily pain I had lived with for the past 13 years ended. I was so impressed with the improved quality of my new life that I became a Chiropractor.

My second step back to health was when I was treated by A Chiropractor who also used a natural healing technology called Nutrition Response Testing. I had been struggling with considerable pain throughout my body due to several injuries including a fall from the roof of a garage I was building that caused herniated discs in my neck and low back. My health had also been getting progressively worse despite the help from some very good doctors. My blood pressure was dangerously high. Congestion and fluid in my lungs forced me to sleep with my head propped up. I developed tremors in my hands and arms, my heart beat was often pounding and irregular. I was losing my memory and had brain fog that interfered with my life resulting in much loss of sleep.

My family was so concerned about my health that they asked me not to drive or go fishing by myself. My practice suffered and I had to cut back to part time because I had difficulty working a whole day.

With Nutrition Response Testing, I discovered that the cause of my headaches and joint pain was chronic inflammation from food and chemical sensitivities. I was sensitive to wheat, dairy and soy and chlorine.

My body was responding to these foods and chemicals very much like it would respond to an infection, with lots of inflammation. The inflammation mainly affected my injured, joints so I never suspected any other cause. I thought it was just bad luck and I had to live with the pain.

When I stopped the offending foods and started to detoxify my body while taking whole food supplements, I saw almost immediate changes in my health. My brain fog improved dramatically, joint pain that lived with for 15 years improved at least 80 percent. My blood pressure dropped 50 points within 2 months. The greatest change that I noticed is that I continued to improve over the next couple years to the point that I rarely experienced back pain, headaches or brain fog and my blood pressure continued to improve.

I have discovered that health is the natural state of our bodies and if we remove the things that interfere with healing and provide good repair parts in the form of whole foods and supplements we can usually improve dramatically.
