i always wanted to be a tenenbaum
you, know?
i am a twenty-three year old darling girl.
i am not married, i have no children, and i didn't graduate from college. but..
i draw birds and robots; i read books; i laugh till i cry; i love until my heart bursts; i sometimes paint my face or arms with stripes if i'm bored; i create; i play guitar.
i am not impressive, but i am me.
i am addicted to Jesus Christ. He never stops loving, never stops giving, and there is always more of Him. He is the perfect addiction. no one else can satisfy.
These are all just mostly vague details. If you want me, come find me. But, I promise, at the very least, you'll think I'm nice.

this is how it works.
Wednesday, November 4, 2009 @ 8:42 PM
This is how it works: Your brain is the master controller. It has a tail called your brain stem. From it you have your spinal cord, and from that you have the nerves that go to all your organs from your most crucial to your barely noticeable. By God's grace He housed it in your strongest structure: your SPINE. By His wisdom He created areas for your nerves to come out of your spine to go to your organs.If the vertebrae are not in alignment the way He created, there will be pressure on your nerves. THAT is called subluxation. Subluxations are MORE serious than cancer, MORE serious than heart disease, MORE serious because they ARE what CAUSES cancer and heart disease as well as most everything else. Medications will not correct subluxations. Surgery will not correct subluxations. And without them being corrected, your body WILL build disease and your organs WILL begin to shut down. 100 times out of a 100 if i cut the nerves to your heart will it die. 100 times out of a 100 will it not function at 100% if those nerves are pinched. it is the SAME with everything else. If you are displaying symptoms already -- you are most likely subluxated and you are dying. IT IS THAT SERIOUS. You MUST get your spine checked either in our office or by a doctor who knows how to do spinal subluxation corrections. THAT'S JUST HOW IT WORKS.
Symptoms are different for everyone. but if you are already displaying fatigue, headaches, asthma, allergies, or more, OR if you are taking ANY kind of medication -- then there is a very high chance you have subluxation and it's robbing you of your life.
in the office, all the time people tell me "oh, i feel fine. i'm not subluxated." well. that's a very fancy point. feeling good is awesome. we all want to feel good. but the problem is, even in cases of the most horrible spinal misalignments, YOU WILL ONLY FEEL IT 6% OF THE TIME. why is this? because only 6% of your nerve are pain nerves, and the rest are information. can you tell me how your kidney feels? how about your liver? or your lungs? have you ever known someone that was riddled with cancer, but felt fine? or someone who was "doing well" and even got a thumbs up from the doctor just months before, but dropped dead of a heart attack? this is why you can't trust your feelings.
what would you rather do? wait until you get symptom, or diagnosis and then end up being too far past the problem to fix it? or get your spine checked and take care of the problem before it even develops. corrective chiropractic care REALLY is preventative care.
God knew exactly what He was doing when He created us. and when we live outside of the boundary lines He created (not getting adjusted, eating toxic food, not exercising etc.) THERE ARE CONSEQUENCES TO OUR ACTIONS. but, He is a LOVING God and a GOOD God. So He gave us chiropractic care to turn our power back on.
what is the difference between a dead person and an alive person? if your spinal cord/nerves control everything, and there is a spine in both people, what makes the difference? It is the BREATH OF LIFE that God breathed into every one of us. That power, that spark of His divine power, that is what allows us to heal.
THE POWER THAT MADE THE BODY, HEALS THE BODY.
it's just how it is. it's just how it works.
all medications cause destruction in your body. surgeries to remove "dysfunctional" organs never truly get to the cause of the problem. (subtracting out of course, all crisis-care situations such as car accidents, major trauma, etc.)
wouldn't you want to get the the cause?
if you have headaches, and you have to take the headache medicine... are your headaches truly gone? No. have you gotten to the cause of the problem? no. every time you miss a dose, you would still have headaches.
that's what we do in our office, we get the cause of the problems.
we want everyone to live as long as possible with such great, maximized lives, that they can serve God with every blink, breath, and heart beat. for as long as He has placed them on this earth.
God has provided chiropractic as a safe, natural way for people to get healthy. We work with the natural power of God and His natural design, not against it.
If you have never had your spine checked, you do not know if you are subluxated and building disease. It is very serious and very crucial for you to get it done. We have over 350 doctors (godly men and women that truly care for their communities and have a strong fear of the Lord) all over the United States. From right here in Sioux Falls, to Ankeny and Des Moines, to Florida and all the way to Washington.
You have to get yourself and your families checked. Especially your children.
God wants a healthy and happy life for everyone. After all, He "came to give LIFE and LIFE ABUNDANTLY!"
That's just how it works.
