<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Ok, I must copy ONE MORE blog from my Boresha blog. I am SO impressed with these products. My personal belief is they are the PERFECT compliment to any chiropractic practice because they PROMOTE HEALTH!  So after today, you&#8217;ll just have to subscribe to www.boreshafatburner.com to find out the latest!</p>
<p>As if my results posted in “my personal story” blog weren’t enough ~ I thought I’d let you in on the results achieved so far from my small uncontrolled study.  These are the results of people close to me that started taking the Boresha products around the same time that I did.</p>
<p>Prepare to be amazed………</p>
<p><span id="more-626"></span>All of the people below are in good general health.  I, out of all of them, was the one with the most serious health condition.  I’ve recently got another person (with issues similar to the ones I had) starting the products – so stay tuned for updates on that situation.</p>
<p>For lack of a better term, they’ll be called “client”.</p>
<p>Client A ~ after one week of taking Boresha ArgMatrix (inconsistently), NuvoGene Tea and occasional Codebreaker……. noticed increased sustained energy, improved sleep, clearer and more focused mental capacity, increased muscle and the appearance of a smaller core.</p>
<p>Client B ~ after 2 weeks of taking Boresha ArgMatrix (inconsistently) and BSkinny coffee………noticed greater energy throughout the day, improved sleep and had to wear a belt to hold pants up! After 3 weeks, measured and  lost 1 inch around waist &amp; 1 inch around hips (this was WITHOUT watching what was eaten over the 3 week span)!</p>
<p>Client C ~ checked in one week after taking Boresha ArgMatrix and NuvoGene tea (consistently)…….noticed being a few pounds lighter after a FEW DAYS and inches lost at waist area.</p>
<p>Client D ~ after one week of taking Boresha ArgMatrix, occasional NuvoGene Tea and occasional Codebreaker……noticed a more toned and smaller core along with an increase in daily energy.</p>
<p>Client E ~ after one week of Boresha ArgMatrix ………noticed a significant change in having a smaller waist.</p>
<p><strong>So what’s the reason you haven’t given the Boresha products a try yet?!?</strong></p>

<p>I will be representing Boresha at the GCA convention later this month, so stop by if you can!</p>
<p>Continuing on from last week&#8217;s introduction&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;.</p>
<p>After a few months and lots of side effects from the medication, it finally got my resting heart rate down to around 96 for awhile, then into the 80&#8242;s. While I was thrilled with this, I knew my body was still not like it was and wondered if it ever would be again. Then I was introduced to Boresha.  See my blog on &#8220;how it all began&#8221; for that story.</p>
<p>The only Boresha product I took (&amp; am still taking) is the L-ArgMatrix. I had no need for fat burning since I was still pretty much skin and bones.</p>
<p>I just got the results from my latest blood work last week. After taking the Matrix consistently for TWO weeks (on and off for almost 3)&#8230;&#8230;.my T4 is <strong>NORMAL</strong> &amp; my T3 is very close to normal!  I haven&#8217;t been anywhere near this for around five years! This was the <strong>biggest change</strong> in my thyroid levels since starting the monthly blood tests. Taking the Matrix is the only thing I&#8217;ve done differently. But, there&#8217;s MORE&#8230;&#8230;..</p>
<p><span id="more-621"></span></p>
<p><img title="More..." src="http://www.boreshafatburner.com/wp-includes/js/tinymce/plugins/wordpress/img/trans.gif" alt="" />I have noticed that steadily over the past two weeks, my body has gained back a lot of the muscle that was lost. I now have muscles like I used to have when I worked out regularly (&amp; I haven&#8217;t been)!  I also noticed the side effects that I had for months were resolving!</p>
<p>My evening resting HR just in the last 2 weeks has gone down to between 66-72!!!</p>
<p>Guess you can tell I&#8217;m pretty excited!!! I give God ALL of the glory &amp; thank Him for giving Dr. Ann DeWees Allen the know-how to make such amazing products!</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t understand the entire mechanism behind WHY it&#8217;s working &#8211; but it <strong>IS</strong> working and for many, many people! Try the products for yourself, then you can pass them along to your patients once you see the benefits like I have. If you&#8217;re not 100% sure yet, contact me. I&#8217;d be happy to send some samples to you. It&#8217;s worth a shot, right?</p>

<p>I&#8217;m passing this along to my &#8220;blogees&#8221; on this site, because the information (in part two) could easily be life changing for you and/or your practice.</p>
<p>If you are a doctor, you should read this blog on the phenomenal results achieved from Boresha products. Let alone the weight loss successes and sustained energy, I&#8217;ve heard of diabetics coming off of their medication, fantastic results with joint pain issues, male &amp; female hormones balancing, life long blood pressure issues resolving &amp; lately I&#8217;ve been hearing of great results with polycystic ovarian disease. I must be honest &amp; tell you I started the products mostly to prove them wrong. I didn&#8217;t expect results like I got.</p>
<p><span id="more-617"></span></p>
<p>I was hopeful, but wasn&#8217;t expecting a miracle. Almost 5 years ago, I somehow developed hyperthyroidism seven months after my son was born. I guess I was living in denial, but I eventually got down to 94 pounds. I&#8217;ve always been petite, but this was skin and bones. My normal resting heart rate at this point was around 120. I could not climb a flight of stairs without feeling like I was going to have a heart attack. Having the straight chiropractic mind that I do, I believed my body was strong enough to heal itself. So I went to the top in our profession, both in chiropractic and nutrition. And I was successful in doing so. My heart rate came down to around 90 resting &amp; I put on enough weight to get pregnant again.</p>
<p>Wouldn&#8217;t you guess, about 3 months after my daughter was born, it came back with a vengeance? I continued with my nutritional support (which I never stopped after starting the first time), along with my regular chiropractic care. I had nights where my heart rate went up to 150! After dealing with this for about a year, I came to terms with the fact that something else had to be done. I did a ton of research on hyperthyroid treatments and it didn&#8217;t look promising.  My options were basically medication, radiation or a thyroidectomy. I hated all three. In order to continue to be here for my family, I gave into trying the medication and prayed it would work.</p>
<p>Come back next time for the continuation&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;</p>

<h2>URGENT CCE COMPLAINT CAMPAIGN &#8211; TAKE ACTION NOW!!!</h2>
</div>
</div>

<div>(passing this along from Steve Tullis)</div>

</div>
<div>
<div>
<p>A massive email complaint campaign is under way regarding the Council on Chiropractic Education.  This campaign is coming from the profession: the practitioners, the students and the people we serve.  It is a cry for freedom from the biased philosophical and political agenda of the CCE.</p>
<p>Many people have asked why should I be involved&#8230;read the article below</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>http://www.dynamicchiropractic.com/mpacms/dc/article.php?id=55252</p>
<p>http://www.chiropractic-biophysics.com/clinical_chiropractic/2010/9/15/cce-cartel-is-at-it-again.html</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Basically, the CCE has eliminated two essential terms unique to chiropractic: subluxation and &#8220;without the use of drugs and surgery&#8221; in the new standards for chiropractic colleges.  This of course means that even the best colleges that now address family care will be required to fill their curriculum with more ancillary requirements and deviate from core chiropractic care. Graduates will be at a greater deficit. This will affect our scope of practice and the public&#8217;s ability to receive quality, drugless chiropractic. Our unique identity as &#8220;separate and distinct&#8221; will be will be lost.  The CCE has a long history of moving Chiropractic more and more towards the practice of medicine.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>In December, the National Advisory Committee on Institutional Quality and Integrity (NACIQI) will be holding its open meeting and reviewing the CCE. As a profession, we have the opportunity to respond..but our window of time is short. Letters of concern must be received by the Board of Education<strong> by September 16th</strong>, which is this Friday.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Three main issues need to be addressed: 1. The CCE is not representative of the profession., 2. CCE is attempting to move the practice of chiropractic into the practice of medicine., 3. CCE has attempted to mandate a medical education, which leads chiropractors to fail in practice.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>A sample letter is below&#8230;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>There are three ways to take action:</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>1- <strong>Doctor input: </strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Please write a personalized letter. This will take all of 10 minutes. That&#8217;s a very short time to protect your future.  Sample letter is below.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Once written, e-mail it immedietly to this address:  <strong>aslrecordsmanager@ed.gov </strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>with the subject line:  <strong>Written Comments re Council on Chiropractic Education</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>blind cc steve_tullius@yahoo.com</strong> to ensure we have records of your complaint.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>2- <strong>Patient input:</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Have your patients sign this prepared petition. The USDOE is very concerned with consumer input, so this step is as important as your letter.</p>

<p><strong>The CCE has ignored the profession&#8217;s input to their new guidelines&#8230;</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&#8220;In September 2010, the CCE Task Force on Accreditation Standards released a second draft to the public for comments. At the latest meeting on January 14th, the CCE met and adopted new educational standards that will become effective in January of next year.  Dr. Welsh, who attended the public proceedings, reports that the CCE President announced that the Council had received two complaints.  No details were provided.  Council members were reminded of the need for complete confidentiality.  In October 2010, it was reported by Welsh that the CCE had received approximately 3000 submissions from the profession.&#8221;</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Dr. Chris Kent,  President of the Foundation for Vertebral Subluxation calls us to action:</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><em>&#8220;It is now up to the profession to ensure that the student of today graduates with a strong philosophical base and a keen awareness of the profound potential of chiropractic&#8217;s contribution to human health. The fundamental issues are simple. Are we a profession with a clearly defined mission, or are we a profession simply seeking some niche which offers access to a slice of the health care pie? Are we driven by principles or politics? Is our political position defined by our mission statement, or do we grovel to get whatever crumbs the insurance industry tosses our way? Do we have an identity defined by our purpose, or are we chameleons who change our colors to blend into the existing environment?&#8221;</em></p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Dr. Joe Betz, ICA Board Member, reveals the ramifications on our practices:</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&#8220;The assault on our profession from within has reached unprecedented levels. If the silent majority does not speak up and do so very quickly, the chiropractic profession as we know it will cease to exist. You can no longer go into your practice and just adjust your patients and go home. You need to work to protect what we have inherited. It is our responsibility.&#8221;</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Dr. James Edwards, past ACA chairman, calls out the minority in our profession:</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><em>&#8220;This left-wing fringe of the profession, through revision to CCE standards, is now attempting to abolish all references to the subluxation, willing to designate our degree as DCM (Doctor of Chiropractic Medicine), and willing to delete all language that states chiropractic is a drugless and non-surgical profession. Are you paying attention? You should be because, to a great degree, CCE has the authority and power to define who you are and what you do. So, why am I so upset? Well, just look at CCE&#8217;s proposed changes:</em></p>
<ul>
<li><em>Adding the words or their equivalent to DC degree programs, thus authorizing the DCM degree;</em></li>
<li><em>Deleting every reference to the word subluxation; and</em></li>
<li>Deleting the &#8220;without the use of drugs and surgery&#8221; provision.&#8221;</li>

<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p>and labels CCE immoral</p>
<p><em>&#8220;This incestuous selection process has failed to produce CCE board and council members who are willing and able to represent the mainstream positions of the majority of doctors of chiropractic, the majority of chiropractic colleges, and both national chiropractic membership organizations. And until CCE changes its electoral process, it will remain an organization without any moral authority to speak for the chiropractic profession.&#8221;</em></p>

<p>Dr. Gerry Clum, former member of the CCE, reveals the CCE biasness:</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><em>&#8220;Think about the appointment process to the Council &#8211; people get nominated, they are vetted by a committee of the Council on ambiguous criteria, they are put on a ballot that allows preferences to come into play, then a decision is made by the people who already sit on the Council. The opportunity for in-breeding, and election of people who represent a given orientation in the profession versus another, is obvious.&#8221; </em></p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Dr. Denardis, one of the individuals hearing the case for the National Advisory Committee on Institutional Quality and Integrity at the last reaccreditation hearing stated,</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><em>&#8220;Battles over turf, battles over philosophy, maybe battles over personal ambition, but divisions of every kind. And some of this, maybe most of it, is a consequence of, at least as I see it, a monopoly control of a profession which has led to the establishment of a virtual cartel&#8230;&#8221;</em></p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Three main issues need to be addressed: 1. The CCE is not representative of the profession., 2. CCE is attempting to move the practice of chiropractic into the practice of medicine., 3. CCE has attempted to mandate a medical education, which leads chiropractors to fail in practice.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>A sample letter is below&#8230;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>____________________________________________________________________</p>
<p>Dear Sir or Madame:</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Please accept this official complaint to the US Department of Education (USDOE) against the Council on Chiropractic Education (CCE).</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>I am extremely concerned that the CCE is no longer representative of the profession and, as a result, that the curriculum which is unique and distinct in chiropractic has all but been lost.  The future availability of chiropractic as one of the most powerful and cost-effective forms of healthcare is at risk.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>The CCE is in direct violation of the USDOE Criteria for Recognition</strong></p>
<p><strong>Section 602.13 &#8211; Acceptance of the agency by others</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Recent changes to standards for the accreditation of chiropractic institutions will further reduce chiropractic towards a subset of medicine, having eliminated essential language which defines chiropractic as a separate and distinct philosophy, science, and art.  According to institutions, faculty, and the profession at large, the term &#8220;subluxation&#8221; and the language &#8220;without drugs or surgery&#8221; are essential elements in defining chiropractic.  I also agree that these are core elements to the value and effectiveness of chiropractic.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>The CCE is in direct violation of the USDOE Criteria for Recognition</strong></p>
<p><strong>Section 602.14 &#8211; Purpose and organization &amp;</strong><strong>Section 602.15 &#8211; Administrative and fiscal responsibilities</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>There are direct financial and political conflicts of interest at the CCE which have been evidenced formerly in previous investigations.  A very specific philosophical and political agenda is also apparent in the recent changes to the Standards described above.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>The CCE is in direct violation of the USDOE Criteria for Recognition</strong></p>
<p><strong>Section 602.16 &#8211; Accreditation and preaccreditation standards</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The standards and guidelines the CCE sets for the accreditation of institutions is not producing successful doctors of chiropractic, nor is this being monitored.  With attrition rates being quite high, and defaults on student loans for chiropractic education even higher, graduates are not well prepared for success.  It is no wonder that when taught medicine, graduates fail at chiropractic.  The accreditation of institutions which are no longer required to teach the core principles and practice of chiropractic in their curriculum removes the very uniqueness that adds value for the public and makes chiropractic effective and efficient healthcare.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong> </strong>In sum, the CCE is no longer representative of the profession and has been exercising it&#8217;s control to move the profession away from it&#8217;s unique and core value as a distinct and effective approach to health and wellness.</p>

<p>When you hear the term &#8220;network marketing&#8221;, for some it&#8217;s like fingernails going down a chalkboard.  Do know how many people feel the same way about chiropractic?</p>
<p><span id="more-595"></span>I&#8217;ve always been the type to go against the grain on life.  I went through my rebellious stage as many of us did.  Rather than marrying my high school sweetheart &amp; having babies, I went on to college and then more college.  As if that wasn&#8217;t enough, I went on to chiropractic school to further my career.  My career choice was not the norm as well as being a female in this profession (which I didn&#8217;t know until I went to chiro school &amp; I think it was a 7 to 1 male/female ratio).</p>
<p>We as chiropractors continually go against the grain.  We&#8217;re not MD&#8217;s (&#8220;real doctors&#8221;).  We don&#8217;t believe in taking medication unless absolutely necessary.  We don&#8217;t vaccinate our children.  We believe the power the made the body can heal the body.  We believe in innate. The list goes on.</p>
<p>Staying with going against the grain&#8230;&#8230;..have you ever thought about the chiropractic practice being like a network marketing tree?  You&#8217;re at the top. You have your staff below you. They tell their friends and family about your practice. They in turn become patients &amp; get on the tree below your staff.  Those patients tell more people that become patients, and they jump on the the tree as well. When you implement your referral incentives &amp; thank you grams, the benefits trickle up to the top of the tree from the bottom. You can also look at a few of the legs on your tree coming from outside promotions or networking groups.</p>
<p>What sort of promotions do you have planned for this fall to increase the legs on your chiropractic network marketing tree? Do you have referral programs in place? Do you implement thank you&#8217;s? What else can you do to grow the tree in your practice where the ones above the roots at the bottom will benefit?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-589" title="1161173_12988970" src="http://www.drchrisowen.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/1161173_12988970.jpg" alt="" width="557" height="180" /></p>
<p>As you can tell from my past posts, I started out strong in the beginning with 2 posts per week, then life got in the way &amp; it tapered down.  Well, you have my commitment to continue this blog.  It won&#8217;t be twice per week because I got out a lot of what I had to say.  Rather then posting small blogs of meaningless material, I&#8217;ll wait until there is something of more substance to post.  What you&#8217;ll get is real, it&#8217;s me and it&#8217;s from the heart.</p>
<p>With that said, this post is geared toward something to strive for.  Being in a profession known to &#8220;eat their young&#8221;, I think we can all take something from this.</p>
<p><span id="more-551"></span>I read an article the other day on the people in Japan (in cleaning up the rubble). They&#8217;ve returned over $50 million in cash to their rightful owners.  Over 5700 safes were returned with over $20 million in cash in them.  One had $600,000 in it.  That really speaks for the ethics in that culture.</p>
<p>I generally like to believe the best in people.  Recently my town was devastated by tornadoes.  One of the homes hit was my mother&#8217;s.  The same evening after the storms were gone, we walked over power lines (not the brightest thing I&#8217;ve done), bent signs, broken glass and insulation from the homes.  It was the worst devastation I&#8217;ve ever seen in my life. I&#8217;m sure it&#8217;s a similar sight to a war zone &#8211; thank God we didn&#8217;t come across any bodies (although we heard from rescue workers they were close by).  Anyway, at a time when you would think people would ban together to help the victims (which many many did)&#8230;.but much to my dismay the following day the town was shut down due to looting!</p>
<p>It makes you wonder about the character of some people.  My husband always says &#8220;You&#8217;ve got nothing if you don&#8217;t have character&#8221;. He&#8217;s right. What kind of character have other DCs had that you&#8217;ve come across? What kind of character do you have? Would you step out to help your fellow DC struggling down the street? Would you speak kind words about them after a patient degrades them? Would you take the time to sit down with a student &amp; share your experiences? Would you give extra charts you&#8217;re not using to another DC in your town? I think we can all learn something from the people in Japan. Yes, all they did was return some money that didn&#8217;t belong to them. But their character says they would reach out a helping hand rather than slam the door shut on someone needing assistance.  Don&#8217;t you agree?</p>

<p>How familiar does this sound to you? Am I explaining your life? Do these kinds of things happen to you? Please click for the continuation ~</p>
<p><span id="more-558"></span></p>
<p>The very next day, I was again, back into my typical old routine of rush rush &#8211; when I encountered the same thing.  Unusual traffic, not typical for the area I was in.  It got to the point where instead of getting enraged &amp; yelling, I started laughing &amp; said &#8220;ok, God &#8211; I get it!&#8221;  It&#8217;s as if He&#8217;s saying &#8220;Slow down!&#8221;.  Not that He gave me my illness, because I do not believe that.  But the universe or whatever you want to call it has a way of making things happen for our good.  The health ailment I had, forced me to make radical changes &amp; slow down, where nothing else could have made me do that.  Now when I seem to get back into that old pattern, oddly enough, things make me stop.  Now I look at it as a gentle reminder to take a step back, re-focus and not get ahead of myself.  Apparently, there&#8217;s more I need to complete in my life.</p>
<p>Just today, I was back to going at my warp speed. I was in the rear of the grocery store with my kids (being mom, when I was supposed to be working and running way behind schedule) &#8211; when for no apparent reason, all power goes out. So I&#8217;m standing in complete darkness for 3-4 minutes trying to keep a 2 and 4 year old calm until the emergency lights come on. When I say complete darkness, you could not see a thing. There was no choice, but to just &#8220;stop&#8221;. There were no storms outside, and no one could explain what happened to the power. Am I so bold to think that maybe my God (yes, that&#8217;s what I believe) would shut off the power to get a message across to me?  You bet. You might think I&#8217;m nuts, but don&#8217;t judge until you walk in my shoes.</p>
<p>So my message to you is to not get ahead of yourself. I know it&#8217;s just words, but I&#8217;ve lived it. Don&#8217;t let yourself get to where I did. Slow down! Don&#8217;t put the cart before the horse.  Live each day moment to moment because you don&#8217;t know when it will be your last. Don&#8217;t live two or three days ahead.  How does the saying go? The past is history, the future&#8217;s a mystery and today is a gift.  That&#8217;s why we call it the present.  Have a happy holiday.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-577" title="487693_38168146" src="http://www.drchrisowen.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/487693_38168146.jpg" alt="" width="557" height="160" /></p>
<p>Anyone ever go through a similar situation like I discussed last time?  What kind of doctor have you been? Are you the kind that you&#8217;re in the moment, focused on your patient &amp; it doesn&#8217;t matter if there&#8217;s an earthquake outside?  Or are you the kind that as the patient is talking to you, you&#8217;re thinking of 10 other things? Please click for the next chapter.</p>
<p><span id="more-555"></span></p>
<p>I had to make radical changes to my lifestyle.  My plate that was running over with 5 course meals had to be reduced to a measly snack. Meaning, I gave up much of my responsibilities. Thank God I was in a position to do so and could allow my body to heal.  My heart rate is now back to normal and my CBC is getting there.  I need to give props to AO.  I&#8217;ve always been a Gonstead doctor &amp; still believe it&#8217;s awesome, but the 2 things that helped me the most were majorly focusing on nutrition and AO chiropractic.</p>
<p>What&#8217;s interesting and seems to be a recurring theme for me now, is anytime I start to get into my old routine of beat-the-clock&#8230;&#8230;something or someone stops me. Have you ever experienced this? Here&#8217;s an example:  the other week I was rushing to get to a meeting that I prepared weeks for, only to encounter 2 1/2 hours of backed up traffic on three different roads.  As if it wasn&#8217;t bad enough that the first hour of being stopped and then going no faster than 10mph was caused by no apparent reason&#8230;&#8230;when a different road was taken going a different direction, the same thing happened again.  Then, after stopping for a break and later continuing on a different path, the same thing happened again.  Now was this God or the universe preventing me from getting to a certain destination by a certain time for a reason?  Or could this be God (or whomever or whatever you believe in) trying to slow me down &amp; getting me to refocus?  I would have thought the first, but lately I&#8217;m thinking the latter.</p>
<p>Come back for the continuation ~</p>

<p>Ok, so it&#8217;s taken what&#8230;&#8230;5 months for this blog to come to fruition. I guess you could say I had writer&#8217;s block! There&#8217;s been an interesting series of events in my life the past few months. One, I think many will be able to relate to if you&#8217;re a type A personality like myself.  Click below to come on the journey &amp; maybe your life will be changed as well. This is the reason I&#8217;m sharing this, so others can be helped from my experience. I&#8217;ll pick up with the book review next week.</p>
<p><span id="more-552"></span>I&#8217;ve always been the kind of person with a very high drive to succeed. I put myself through undergrad and held 4 jobs at the same time.  I also worked my way through graduate school &#8211; - not that no one else has done this, just setting the stage.  I&#8217;m the person that says &#8220;yes&#8221; to whatever is asked. I typically have 5 or more projects to do on my desk. I am the maid. I am the cook. I am the wife. I am the mom&#8230;..and the list goes on. I&#8217;m the person that has a two page list to complete daily and rather than living in the moment, I&#8217;m thinking about what else has to be done and what happens next. Accomplishing great feats in a New York minute?  Yep, that&#8217;s me!  You may have seen me rushing past you to get my list done.</p>
<p>Can I multitask? You bet &#8211; along with the best of them.  Do I have days when I&#8217;d like to pull my hair out?  Absolutely.  Has my drive helped me to succeed in what I put my mind to?  Without a doubt.  Does this type of personality trait take a toll on ones health?  I believe so.</p>
<p>The past few years, I developed a health issue that eventually got the best of me.  I could not think straight. I could not sleep. I couldn&#8217;t take care of my kids. I couldn&#8217;t climb a flight of stairs without feeling like I was having a heart attack. I felt like I was constantly on speed. I couldn&#8217;t keep weight on to the point I got down to 94 pounds (&amp; I ate 4-5 meals per day).  Skin &amp; bone. I finally had to get on medication to slow my heart rate. Why did this take so long to surrender you ask? Well, if you are a DC like me and have the philosophy background that I do &#8211; then you realize it would have been better for me to go to jail than to get on medication (no, I&#8217;ve never been to jail)!</p>
