Who Told You That You Were Dumb

Let’s face it folks!  We’ve engineered a culture that allows us to live unnaturally and we have created a system of white coats and white pills that tell us that there is something inherently wrong with us.  It tells us that the only way to gain our health back is to look outside ourselves.

When really, all the potential for health lies right inside of you.  YOU ARE BRILLIANT!

Let’s talk about the human genome project…

When we began the HGP in 1990 we estimated 100,000 genes were to be found residing in the human genome.  This prediction was based on the fact that there are upwards of 100,000 different proteins in the human body.  Genes code for proteins, so there must be a gene for each different protein.  Right?  Medications are used to manipulate genes.  So if we can find all the genes we can develop medications for all of them and eradicate disease.  Right?

The HGP ended in 2003 with an astounding finding of only 20,500 genes! ¼ of what we expected.

So what does this mean?  Each gene can be EXPRESSED into multiple different proteins depending on the environment it is in and the lifestyle it is exposed to.

What’s amazing is that the genome of any two people is more than 99% the same.  The 1% difference in our genes is what makes us unique (hair, eye and skin color, shape, size…)

“So, is everything determined by my genome?  No, your DNA is just one part of the amazing puzzle of who you are.  When it comes to your health, other pieces of the puzzle include lifestyle and environmental factors, such as the food you eat and the air you breathe.  Once we learn more about how the human genome interacts with these factors to cause disease, we may be able to change our HABITS and adapt our ENVIRONMENT to improve our health”

All 100 trillion cells within your body carry the same genetic make up.  In other words, they all have the same instructions to build and maintain the many different proteins, cells and tissues that make you, YOU!

The first part of living an INSIDE-OUT life is understanding that all the equipment for health lies right inside you and that health is not found in a pill, a chemical or a hospital.

Chiropractic maintains that you are inherently healthy and that the nervous system is supreme in its distribution of health.  It needs no help from the outside.  It does, however, need to be clear from any interference from the expression of health.

Living INSIDE-OUT means that YOU are placing your body in the right environment and YOU are exposing it to the right LIFESTYLE in order for all the brilliance INSIDE YOU to be expressed without dis-ease.

Here’s to YOU!
