Triad
of Health- Functional Disease
triad of health is represented by an
equilateral triangle with structural,
chemical, and mental factors affecting
our health. Few physicians address
all
these factors, but the most powerful results are obtained when all three
of
these factors are understood and applied to treatment. Structural factors
are often seen when bones
in the spine or extremities misalign causing
nerve pressure and pain. Especially when pain is felt a distance from
the
spine, a pinched nerve is not considered, but is indeed the cause of the
pain. When the bone is realigned the
pain goes away because the cause
has been addressed. Taking drugs to relieve the pain or cortisone
shots
does not address the cause and only leaves the patient with many more
side effects to contend with. We have
also seen organ and glandular
improvements with spinal adjusting as evidenced
on EMI testing,
endocardiograph exams, and standard lab tests.
Chemical
factors include all the vitamins, mineral, amino acids, essential
fatty acids,
and nutritional factors that the body and mind require for optimal
function. When an organ or gland is not
functioning properly think what
nutrients it does not have, rather than what
drugs to take. The body does
not run on
drugs it runs on nutrition. That should
always be your first step
in healing an organ-gland, or structural problem. Most drugs would be
unnecessary if the
deficient nutrients were supplied to the body.
Once the
body has the correct nutrition, the organ and gland can begin
the repair
process and build a greater level of health free of harmful
side effects.
For example, supplying iodine can turn the thyroid back on,
giving chromium
can balance blood sugar levels, bioflavanoids can repair
damaged heart
arteries.
Mental
factors include all the emotions, thoughts, and beliefs that affect well
being. Chronic anger hurts the liver,
sadness the lungs, worry the spleen,
fear the kidneys, and hurt the heart, and
so on. Negative emotions affect
organ-gland function which eventually leads to disease. Learning to change
limiting beliefs, think
positive thoughts, and release negative emotions can
change an illness to
perfect health. Drug therapy suppresses
the mind, but
does not address the cause of the problem. Holistic techniques release the
most
important emotions, beliefs, and thoughts causing the health problem,
returning
the body and mind to health and well being.
Functional
disease is a health disorder that has not received a medical
diagnosis. Most people have organs and glands that are
not working
properly, but can still pass a standard blood lab test, urine test,
or medical
diagnostic. Most people
don’t realize how bad you have to be before it will
show on most medical
exams. For example, the liver will test
normal until
10% function is left. Do
you want to wait until you have 10% liver function to
do something!! I think not, but this is what we are doing in
our health care
system. We do not detect
health problems until they are extreme like heart
disease, cancer, and diabetes. All these were functional diseases
but
where undiagnosed at that stage and progressed until they finally show
on
medical tests. By then, it is very far
progressed and hard to cure. A far
better approach is used by our clinic to diagnose the organ-gland at the
functional disease level when it is much easier to treat and return back to
optimal function. Our clinic specializes
in functional disease and using
holistic diagnostic tests to show you where
your organs and glands are
weak and heading toward extreme disease. How can you and your loved
ones, friends,
etc. have so many uncomfortable symptoms yet you pass
medical exams? Because they are undiagnosed at the
functional disease
level, don’t let them continue to get worse, or suppress the
symptoms with
drugs, find out what is out of balance and correct it at the
source. This
allows you to experience
optimal health and greatly reduces your risk of
heart attack, cancer, and
diabetes.
Chiropractic
care is the best method to achieve optimal spinal health. Most
people understand the importance of
dental check-ups, but do nothing for
their spine until it causes extreme
pain. The spine needs care, even more
so
than your teeth. Chiropractic aligns
bones in the spine that cause pain,
nerve pressure, or poor posture. It is very important that each bone in the
spine have proper movement and position.
Chiropractic care does this and
keeps your spine and extremity joints in
good health. Our clinic offers many
forms of manipulation including low force methods which can be used on
children
one day old. Those suffering from spinal
pain, headaches,
numbness, weakness, spinal curvatures, extremity pain,
arthritis, disk
herniation, loss of motion, stiffness, dizziness, and rib pain
to name a few,
will definitely benefit from chiropractic care.
Acupuncture
is a system over 5,000 years old. The
system is based on
blockages along meridian channels that connect with every
organ, gland,
and tissue in the body. By
placing very thin, fine needles in specific
acupuncture points along the
meridian channels, the blockages are opened
up and healing occurs in the
targeted organ-gland. In modern times,
we also
use cold lasers, and cotton tipped electrical probes to stimulate the
acupuncture points. This is a good
technique for those wanting the benefits
of acupuncture, but would like to avoid
needles. Acupuncture is such an
effective technique with no side effects that it should be tried on all medical
conditions that are not responding.
Acupuncture heals the body naturally
and is very effective in organ
imbalances, pain, digestive problems,
headaches, hormonal problems, arthritis,
depression, anxiety, extremity
pain, skin disorders, infertility, weight loss,
quitting smoking, immune
weakness, blood sugar imbalance, and just feeling
sick.
