Clear the FOG

Day after day we take in unwanted and unhealthy toxins in our food, water, medications, and air supply. They get stored in our fat cells, and it’s next to impossible to avoid them completely. They’re pesticides, mold byproducts on otherwise health-promoting grains and legumes, antibiotics, hormones, food additives and preservatives, chemicals in food packaging, household cleaners, heavy metals, car exhaust and other air pollutants, and cigarette smoke.

Our body’s natural detoxification system does a decent job of eliminating some of these, but can’t deal with all the toxins present in our modern world. Moreover, a shabby diet lacks certain vital nutrients to naturally detox, leading to further build-up in the body.

Such build-up is responsible for a crummy immune system (do you get every sickness that enters the room?), nutritional deficiencies, hormonal imbalances, and a poorly oiled metabolic machine. Real life signs of this build-up include indigestion, poor attention span, fatigue, stinky breath, acne and other skin problems, low sex drive, headaches, food cravings, muscle pain, and weight changes.

Following a mild detox occasionally can help improve your digestion, skin clarity, energy levels, and ability to concentrate, while also promoting more restful sleep, regular bowel movements, fewer unhealthy food cravings, and a speedier metabolism.

Symptomatic Whack a Mole

The object of the carnival game Whack-a-Mole is to use a mallet to hit as many critters as possible when they pop up in random succession.  Trouble is, as you hit one mole, three more pop up and disappear before you can nail them all.  Whack-a-Mole is a perfect metaphor for how people are medicated today.  Unfortunately in this game you end up on a ton of drugs, for a bunch of problems, with no actual improvement in your health.  According to a NCHS Data brief by the CDC, over the last 10 years the percentage of Americans who took at least one prescription drug in the past month increased from 44% to 48%.  The use of two or more drugs increased from 25% to 31%.  The use of five or more drugs increased from 6% to 11%.   Yet despite taking all these drugs, the US embarrassingly ranks 37th among the world's industrial countries when it comes overall health. For Chiropractors, health is not defined by how many symptoms you can temporarily 'whack away' with drugs, but how well your body can adapt to its environment and heal under its own innate abilities.  You have more healing intelligence in your little finger than all the doctors and pharmacies in the world put together. Big Pharma doesn't believe so, but Chiropractors do.  Keep your Nerve System clear and you won’t have to play their failing game.
