Startling Facts:�

​

• It is estimated that half of all Americans over the age of 50 are at risk for bone problems. Worldwide, loss of bone density causes an osteoporotic fracture every three seconds.
• Without intervention, you can lose seven pounds of muscle per decade. Muscle loss with aging (sarcopenia) is the 2^nd most important indicator of health as you get older.
• The more you overstuff your fat cells, the more they will sabotage your health. One in five U.S. deaths is related to obesity.

Free Tests

Are You Dehydrated?

Pee-Test

How to do it

• You empty your bladder
• Chug down 11 milliliters per kilogram of body weight (about 3 cups of water for an average-sized person)
• An hour later see how much you pee.
• If you drink 3 cups and pee out less than 1, there’s a good chance you were dehydrated.

The Comprehensive Tree Urine Test for Men

Go to a tree and pee

• If it attracts a lot of ants- high glucose
• If it dry too fast- high sodium
• If you forgot to open you pants to pee- Alzheimer’s
• If you have trouble hitting the tree- Parkinson’s
• If you pee on your feet- prostate
• If you can’t smell the pee- ?????

Your Fat

The storage compartment

Excessive Body Fat

• The #1 predictor early death
• Puts you at risk for 27 diseases
• As you get older it gets harder to get fat out of a fat cell but not harder to put it in. Tip- Exercise makes it easier to get fat out of a cell.
• Americans gain 1-2 pounds per year

In one minute, see how many of the following you can do.

• Squats (sit on the edge of a chair and stand up, then go down until you almost touch the chair)

• Push-ups (wall, knee, or toe)

• Sit-ups (bend knees 45 degrees and hook your toes under a couch)

In addition to the exercises above, see how long it takes you to walk or jog one mile. Repeat this test after one month.

Your Bones

206 Bones�Strong and Aligned

• Lose 10 pounds- 40 pounds off knees
• Lose 40 pounds- 160 pounds off knees

Structural Subluxation

A misalignment in the spine can affect the function of nerves and the organs they innervate

​

138 Cadavers With Organ Disease

• Dissected spine and found 137 to have subluxations at that same level as spinal degeneration
• You must maintain mobility
• Stiffness increase sympathetic nerve firing at that level

One Adjustment

Chiropractic adjustments help to:

• reduce emotional stress
• reduce physical stress
• decrease tightness in muscles
• decrease pain intensity

Fixing Bone: �3 Requirements

1. Chiropractic Spinal Maintenance

​

​

​

​

​

​

​

​

The #1 cause of disability after age 50 is spinal problems

-85% of all Americans will suffer incapacitating back pain

-The #1 cause of missed work in young adults is back pain

Literature Review

• It is plausible that chiropractic care may benefit every function of the body.

​

​

​

​

​

​

​

• Hannon, S.M. 2004 Journal of vertebral subluxation research 1-9

Patients who began chiropractic care without any musculoskeletal problems reported the following improvements:

• Allergies 11%
• Asthma 17%
• Breathing 27%
• Hearing 13%
• Circulation 21%
• Ringing in ears 19%
• Digestion 26%
• Heart function 11%

The longer the patients were under chiropractic care the more positive changes they experienced
