its a funny world

You know, I am thinking about the way we were raised. We were taught/told that if there is no pain, there is no problem. If you have pain, suck it up or take a pill. It is funny how a simple change in perception creates a completely different world.
This change in perception requires the following: pain is a symptom and is not normal.
When we see pain as a symptom, we have to ask why the pain is there. If we can figure out the "why" and treat THAT, the pain will go away.
Also, by the time pain shows up, the problem has been there for a long time. Think of a cavity in your tooth. It will be unnoticed until it gets to a certain size, then the pain begins. Same thing with pain. Problem is, by the time the pain shows up, the problem has gotten worse.
This is why PREVENTION is the key. Whether it be with diet and exercise, yoga, stress management, chiropractic, or whatever, preventing the problem has a much rosier outlook. Funny how we wait until it is almost too late to take care of a problem. That is what is funny........

My friends, in this time of flu, flu, flu, there are a few ways to minimize the risk.
1. wash your hands with soap and water
2. cough into your sleeve
3. get plenty of rest
4. get adjusted from your chiropractor
5. take approximately 2000 IU of Vitamin D. Vitamin D is a great anti-viral, which is what a flu is usually.

Take care.
