Chiropractic is the Gift - It Matters How the Chiropractor Wraps it and Presents it to You

noreply@blogger.com (Lisa Ann Homic, M.Ed. D.C.) — Sat, 21 Mar 2026 12:25:00 +0000

Have you ever opened a gift, looked at it and said, "What am I supposed to with this?"

When I learned about chiropractic, I felt it was an unbelievable shame that I hadn't heard about it until I was nearly 30 years old.

Especially as a mental health therapist watching my clients suffer unfairly in a in a system that gaslights its patients.

If you read my watched my New Member Orientation Video or read my book, You Don't Have a Disease - You Have a Nervous System, I described feeling helpless watching people "fall through the cracks."

If mental health counseling couldn't help my clients, and medical care couldn't help my clients, what was left? The answer: chiropractic.

But, it requires you to look at yourself differently. Your health needs to be defined differently. The naturally biology run by your innate intelligence needs to be honored properly. If not, you're using a valuable tool the wrong way, which leaves you frustrated and demoralized. Using a can opener like a hammer leaves you frustrated.

We use chiropractic the wrong way and it is an unappreciated gift. A misunderstood gift.

My goal is to be the educator that inspires you.

My biggest pet-peeve in the culture of health is disease language. You're never seen as a "well" person. You're body is treated as if it's an alien pod about to erupt like a volcano. You're one screening test away from a detrimental diagnosis.

You are not a broken engine that needs an overhaul. You are a diamond that needs to be polished.

Which example makes you feel special?

Because you are special.

Hopefully I can convey that to you because the body is always self-preserving. What you're feeling is not a mistake or malfunction. It is a modification of your body systems supporting your survival.

When we're not "feeling right" it does not mean "something is wrong." Yes, we can influence our body by our choices. But I don't want you to make decisions on a misinterpretation of body responses. The brain senses a need and delegates commands to each body system. We want to partner with this process.

I go into more detail with the Brain Budget Protocol. It is my 4-Step System that enhances your chiropractic care.

Your spine is a Fight or Flight Switchboard.

We flip the switches on your spine because an over-exaggerated Fight or Flight response is a terrible energy crisis. And we don't need disease names to get us off track. Replenishment through chiropractic care and the Brain Budget Protocol provides you the opportunity to maintain your vitality without unnecessary fear.

PART 2 Read Here

Dr. Patrick Kingsley, who passed away in 2016 at the age of 78, wrote extensively about his experiences as a medical doctor. In 25 years of practice he never needed to write a prescription for a drug. This was most intriguing to me. But, the disappointment is that finding his written works isn't that easy. The link to his website is "dead," meaning no one is paying for the domain to continue. As it will end up, we may lose many great written works from dead doctors.

I suppose I can look for used books. This may take time, especially when he was not in the U.S.A.

We are fortunate however to have access to a large number of low priced E-books on Amazon. Hopefully they don't get buried.

We're Not Done Yet

noreply@blogger.com (Lisa Ann Homic, M.Ed. D.C.) — Thu, 12 Mar 2026 13:27:00 +0000

We're not done yet. We're not healthy and we're not living our best lives. Part of the problem is we've stopped pursuing life with a higher vision. We are too passive and comfortable with decades of quiet patience. We stopped believing we can expand our talents.

We're not done yet at all when it comes to our quality of life, and the quality of our thoughts!!!!

1- Medical care is still dangerous and inhumane.

2- Chiropractic is watered down and overlooked.

In my grandmother's last years I watched her being over-drugged and now that I am getting up there in age the population is disgustingly held hostage by pharmaceuticals.

I wrote in my book, You Don't Have a Disease You Have a Nervous System that I noticed how meek people have become over two decades of private practice. As I get closer to thirty years in practice, it's downright demoralizing. This meekness actually makes you sicker and unable to make reasonable decisions.

People are more cautious picking out a college, a house, or car, but decisions regarding their health are counter-intuitive, based on fear and misplaced allegiance.

Let's tackle one issue right here: Why is medical care dangerous? Well, we call it standardized. And that's the problem. People think standardized means it's undergone intense scrutiny. But the other side of the coin is that there is no other side.

Alternatives, second opinions, and the option of doing nothing are no longer part of the conversations. When there is a monopoly, we are short changed, and most likely being treated dishonestly. Considering there has been an uptick in fraudulent research, it's important to ask good questions.

Doctors offering second opinions are censored, or fired. Some doctors have acknowledged that once you are hospitalized you are a ward of a state with very little freedom of choice while you are incarcerated----I mean, an inpatient. This is not a secret. However, if you look for generic internet information, this is downplayed as dissatisfaction due to poor communication between patient and health care professionals.

With the government running health care and forcing everyone to obtain Medicare by the age of 65, you are very limited. (Non-Medicare insurance for seniors was outlawed.... I take that as a warning.)

Because of this standardization, chiropractic is also hindered. The brain benefits of regular chiropractic care are only recorded in the laboratory, not in chiropractic offices all over the world. Blame this on the biggest deception taught: chiropractic is only a treatment for spinal conditions. This deception has allowed a massive deprivation from a simple, non-invasive, life enhancing opportunity for infants, children, and adults.

If you have a spinal concern, chiropractic is very beneficial. This is because a chiropractic adjustment resets the entire body, not just the mechanics of the joints.

But, chiropractic has been watered down. People have already limited themselves before they make the phone call for their first appointment.

Once I get to meet them face to face, the first goal is to chip away at the self-imposed limitations they've already put in their minds about self-healing and disease. (Self-healing, and disease are two terrible words in our health language. So, this is step one. Get with me and I'll give my reasons.)

Here are some simple steps to help you re-frame your view of your own vitality and the how you can influence your present and future health.

1- Read my book. Amazon Click Here

2- Read my Blog Series: Doctors Who've Jumped Ship

3- Be on the lookout for my series: Retired Doctors Tell the Truth, Dead Doctors Get Buried.

4- Watch my New Member Orientation Video and make an appointment to come in to my office.

P.S. I still have an optimistic attitude. I will always adjust people's spine and help them ignite their innate energies so they can join me on this great journey.

The spine is a lifeline, your fight or flight (survival) switchboard. All life is energy distribution. Learn how you have a great deal of power over your own internal energy. If this sounds like mumbo-jumbo....you're in for a treat.

I Can Predict Your Timeline if You Are On Prescription Drugs

noreply@blogger.com (Lisa Ann Homic, M.Ed. D.C.) — Wed, 05 Nov 2025 14:56:00 +0000

I Can Predict Your Demise. It's No Secret.

I became a chiropractor because it is a drug free profession. Now that I hear doctors are tracked by their prescription writing habits and hauled in to the medical board if they don't prescribe "enough," I knew I made the right choice.

The dangers are grossly downplayed. If I don't take medicine myself, I'm not going to pretend it's okay and give it to others.

That being said, I do not tell people to stop their medications. If I didn't prescribe it, then I can't advise them on it.

I can however provide them with information.

And, Dr. Andrew Kaufman, who is quoted above is right on the money.

My grandma in the 1980s was loaded up on medications. She didn't get better. She didn't have quality of life. This is what moved me to get into the health care field. I knew piles of drugs was not the answer.

And cardiologist, Dr. Jack Wolfson, has publicly said blood pressure medications cause heart failure.

This lady, in the video below is 101 years old and still works 6 days a week. I don't know if she's on prescription medications, as she talks about loving her life and loves being busy. You can't be busy if you're on prescriptions that sap your energy and lead to heart failure.

My point here is to show you that 101 years old can be vibrant and active. She is not the exception. We all have this opportunity.

So how do you avoid the trap of "permissible decline" Dr. Kaufman warns us about? And yes, it is permissible decline. I just made that term up because it's not hidden that these drugs are dangerous. People choose to ignore the warnings and trust that their own personal doctor wouldn't do that to them.

We've known for decades the elderly are over-medicated. I thought the system would do the right thing after watching my grandmother.

Forty years later and the trance is locked in. There has been no reform.

Just in the last month I can recall a couple of patients speaking with fear in their voices about their diagnoses. Remember in my book, You Don't Have a Disease You Have a Nervous System I say don't accept it. I wrote if someone "gives" you a diagnosis, give it right back.

The trance is real. I have to be more than a chiropractor. I have to be an educator and really hone in on the tough topics that lead people to learned helplessness.

If you need to get started, get a copy of my Brain Budget Protocol - The 6 Steps. And get adjusted. Get on the table so we can rewire your nervous system.

If you aren't aware how you've wired your nervous system to rob you of your energy, let's have a talk.

It's doable. You can be very successful. And it's drug free.

See you at the table.

I Am Worried Part 2

noreply@blogger.com (Lisa Ann Homic, M.Ed. D.C.) — Mon, 15 Sep 2025 18:37:00 +0000

This is part 2 of an earlier posting.

Read Part 1 He re

Can we afford retirement? Will we have the health to enjoy retirement?I've been talking with practice members about their ability to pay for their living expenses while retired.

It is becoming difficult. Social security is not an income replacement. It doesn't keep up with current economical burdens.

The first problem is the anxiety. Nothing is worse than your nervous system working overtime. Constantly worrying, lacking confidence, and dreading the future is a huge drain on your body.

I had a college professor who emphasized the importance of planning ahead. I knew deep down that it was prudent to to be prepared. I was always going to him for questions and rehashing out my notes to grasp the material. He was also stressing how valuable it is to avoid the anticipatory anxiety. He was right. It just made things worse.

My worst nerves were due to my lack of preparation. It wasn't from procrastination, but from a complete overwhelm. For me, the complete overwhelm caused me to procrastinate, adding insult to injury. My panic stood in the way so I couldn't reorganize my notes in a way that allowed me to retain the information.

The best students own the material. And they have a method to break down the information into manageable bites so they can learn large amounts of material in short time.

This overwhelming anxiety gets in the way of actual problem solving.

The same way students prepare for a test, is the same way you can calm down your anxiety.

We use mental rehearsal to prime the brain for rewiring, and then the chiropractic adjustment gels the desired change, which would be a calmness.

Dr. R.G. Hamer once said, you cannot learn to swim while you are drowning. New learning takes place when the brain is calm.

Let's get into a calm state then dive into more strategies to make retirement a fulfilling chapter in our lives.

Preparation replaces panic

I Am Worried...

noreply@blogger.com (Lisa Ann Homic, M.Ed. D.C.) — Sun, 07 Sep 2025 01:23:00 +0000

About 10-15 years ago I was watching a trend of middle aged people struggling to remain in the work force. They just wanted to make it to the date they could receive their retirement benefits. Folks in their late 50's were suffering with chronic conditions that made it difficult to physically perform their duties.

If you've been on the job doing the same activities that you've done for decades, and then it becomes a challenge to keep up with everyone else, it's demoralizing. I've had many practice members who felt as if their presence at their job is a waste because they knew their productivity was lacking. Others times, they were dreading possible confrontations with coworkers losing their patience with them because they were becoming a drag on the whole team. Termination was also a reality.

I've worked with people who were unable to sit for a few hours because of pain, so even people with a sedentary job have troubles.

When people feel they are not contributing to their jobs the way they used to, it becomes a heavy mental burden, which does take a toll.

Now, here we are in 2025 and as I am approaching retirement age I realize I am part of this group. I still have many years before I reach the age of retirement (62/65/67/70) and will most likely keep on working.

I have a new worry regarding my aging practice members. We've all watched how prices are rising ridiculously. Housing is expensive along with groceries, car repairs, etc. Social security and other retirement pensions are not realistically keeping up with the current economy. Many have already burned through their savings. It makes the future bleak and scary.

In order to keep up, many seniors are still in the workforce. Up to 19% of workers are over age 65. The numbers are increasing especially in the group of seniors over age 75.

I'm working with people who are in this predicament. Their current state of health is limiting their ability to do the work they need to make enough money. Pain, old injuries affecting mobility, low energy, weak muscles, shortness of breath interfere with the ability to stay organized, maintain a work schedule, get adequate sleep and have general feelings of satisfaction.

I'm worried about providing adequate help to my practice members who feel they cannot maintain an active role in society. I see the results of mainstream health care and I see what mainstream health care ignores, so I hope to offer this important missing component to my practice members. (Crucial to all ages, by the way...not just retired folks.)

Sometimes they hit a wall, a plateau. They feel better but just don't have enough energy or strength to tolerate the physical and mental demands of their day. This leads them to restrict their lives.

There are others out there in my town who have no idea how chiropractic can impact their overall health. It's not on their radar. They haven't been exposed to the importance of nervous system care.

So, for my current practice members who don't feel they have enough energy to achieve their goals, I offer a deeper look at my Brain Budget Protocol. I present an organized way to approach health with chiropractic, mind-set and life style.

1- Ask me about the Brain Budget Protocol

2- Take part in my Body Language Declassified Seminar

3- Learn how to incorporate MMNS into your life-style.

Flexner Update: 115 Years Later -- We Are the Losers Unless You Act

noreply@blogger.com (Lisa Ann Homic, M.Ed. D.C.) — Thu, 24 Jul 2025 11:14:00 +0000

Catch Up Here - Doctors Who Jumped Ship

Welcome to the World of Chiropractic. It is more than a technique. It is a mind-set that can change your life. Sounds dramatic, huh?

The brain and spinal cord set the tone of your life. Chiropractic addresses the brain/spinal cord first because it is the reason for every body response: pain, inflammation, circulation, respiration, digestion, etc. All patterns are chosen by your brain based on your experiences that are coded as a threat or everyday metabolism.

Chiropractic helps rewire your brain and preserve your fight or flight response so you don't tank your energy reserves which can be risky to your survival.

Chiropractic is a Health Thriving Mind-Set.

THE DOWNHILL DIVE OF THE FLEXNER REPORT --- We should have said, thanks, but no thanks.

The Flexner Report of 1910 was a set of recommendations prepared by the Carnegie Foundation and presented to the American Medical Association.

It's purpose was to "standardize" medicine, reduce the number of medical schools, and follow a biomedical model of disease treatment.

There are only 2 people in the United States at this time who have reached the age of 115 years old. So, I bet most of us had no idea what health care looked like when the Flexner Report was published.

While it had no legal authority, state governments eventually followed the recommendations. Abraham Flexner was responsible for the demise of homeopathy, naturopathy, and electrotherapy in the U.S.

After these changes, the disease model took front and center. Prevention and wellness were shunned.

The history of chiropractic has had its ups and downs as well as its growth couldn't be ignored. Early chiropractors were put in jail under the false charge of practicing medicine without a license. The turf wars were hot. Now, with state licensure, I feel chiropractic has become watered down. Especially the public's awareness of chiropractic. Most of the public only understand one fraction of chiropractic's profound benefits.

Here's the problem with health care today, the consumers were never asked what they wanted. They were left out of this power grab in the government. The public is being deprived of a well rounded view of human health.

So, 115 years later since the Flexner Report, we, the public, are the losers. In my town the local hospital just built a cancer center. Next, a "heart institute" is being built. That's nothing to be proud of.

Do you watch the news? Every news program is funded by pharmaceutical companies. They want you to believe their is only one way to take care of your health: THEIR WAY.

They sell products to treat body symptoms. However, these body symptoms are signs your body is helping itself. We don't want to hamper these symptoms, for the most part. Relying on a drug that stops a normal protective response is illogical. This interruption reduces the body's resilience. If you feel a drug is necessary you should ask yourself, how long is this drug needed because eventually you are "robbing Peter to pay Paul."

Delaying the body's responses sets you up for weakness. You won't be able to withstand the next stress. That's why chiropractic makes sense. It works with your best talent: self surveillance. The body chooses its responses logically based on survival needs at the moment.

So, where are the options, second opinions and choices? A medical system that is built upon a monopolizing should make us all very angry.

When the CDC states that 6 of 10 Americans has one chronic disease and 4 of 10 has 2 or more chronic diseases, how has the Flexner Report made our lives better?

I chose chiropractic because it gives you back your power. We focus on the innate wisdom of the body. We do not want to stick you in a disease category, because chiropractic doesn't add anything to the body nor take anything away from the body.
Chiropractic focuses on how the brain leads the body. Chiropractic's focus is not on disease naming.

These large hospital systems won't be going away, but you can choose how you want to treat your body.

I teach the "Body Language Switch."

Try it. If you don't like it, you can switch back to the disease model.

It's been almost ten years since the death of Dr. Stuart Graveline.

Will his knowledge and experience get buried?

This book was published after he passed away in 2016. His wife documented how he died. When he was in the hospital during his last few hours on this earth, a doctor was berating him for not being a statin.

Dr. Graveline was trying to explain to doctor who was of course a stranger, unaware of his medical history, how he has been dealing with Parkinson's and neuropathy that was brought on by the statin medication.

Nevermind, his heart was in perfect condition, at the age of 85.

Besides his books, available on Amazon (for now), his website is still available: SpaceDoc.com. I assume his wife pays for it to remain online. How long will that last?

Stay tuned for more follow up on this series. I'm going to reread his statin book and investigate more retired doctors.

Independence Day Message: I Wanted Independence from a Failed System

noreply@blogger.com (Lisa Ann Homic, M.Ed. D.C.) — Sat, 05 Jul 2025 14:24:00 +0000

I'm going to be selfish here.

Yes, it is Independence Day when we recall the reason this country was formed with its own unique Declaration of Independence.

I became a chiropractor to have my own independence. I desired to be independent from a health care approach that robbed people of their dignity and independence.

I was a mental health therapist in a medical clinic that promoted the biological theory of mental illness. It doesn't work. It's not a secret that it doesn't work, but it's hard to break people from this belief. Psychiatric drugs do damage. It robs people of their initiative, self worth. They become apathetic and indifferent. They also develop other chronic health conditions.

I wanted to introduce people to approaches that changed their lives for the better.

Chiropractic offers a profound option. It's a brain switch via the connections through the spine.

It can be quite dramatic a times where a person can see the world in a whole new way. (Image Courtesy: Discover Mag.)

It was my independence from a nagging negativity that can fester into a miserable existence. I may sound dramatic, but it's very demoralizing watching people struggle to feel good about themselves when everything they try leads to disappointment.

Chiropractic focuses on how the body maintains itself and strives to recover and and replenish. However, thanks to a government run college and licencing system, there is a bigger emphasis on pathology.

Body functions that are exhausted and overworked are called a disease process. It takes on a life of its own that can turn into a downward spiral. With less emphasis on a wellness model, the true genius of chiropractic is underutilized. This means there is more work to do spreading the word about chiropratic's approach to brain boosting.

The brain decides what you need based on its exposures. Whether you've been injured in an accident or feel your activities are hindered by a gradual change in your movement, metabolism, etc., your brain is dealing with stressors that impact your overall energy.

Chiropractic helps you unravel it all so you can get back to balance in your life.

You are invited on a journey of wellness.

I became a chiropractor to offer people a different approach, a different option. There is no freedom if there are no choices. Sometimes it seems as if health care is monopolized by one model. It takes a little digging to find your options. Chiropractic is one of those options.

Chiropractic does one thing: it modifies the nervous system to function at a useful state of ease.

You don't want excessive fight or flight.

You don't want the freeze or faint response to tank your reserves to the point of no return.

You want to partner with the brain. Chiropractic is your partner.

Retired Doctors Tell the Truth - Dead Doctors Get Buried

noreply@blogger.com (Lisa Ann Homic, M.Ed. D.C.) — Mon, 30 Jun 2025 01:51:00 +0000

I wrote a series call Doctors Who Jumped Ship. There are many interesting medical physicians who realized the best way to help their patients was considered controversial. They couldn't sit by an follow standard protocols that were obviously not working. They had to give up the mainstream opinions and forge their own paths. Often it caused them grief as in loss of their career and unwanted publicity. They have stood strong and you can read about them here.

There are also a number of talented doctors that history wants to forget. And I would prefer their work be remembered every day. This will develop into my newest series: Retired Doctors Tell the Truth - Dead Doctors Get Buried. Here is our first doctor:

Dr. Stuart Graveline was a medical doctor and astronaut. He wrote how his life was ruined when he began taking cholesterol medicine. He also had his patients' records showing their declines. He notified the FDA twice. No one cared. He has since passed away.

I am looking over his book again as it has been a number of years. I thought most people were exposed to the information showing statin medicines are dangerous, but I suppose a new generation of unaware patients the latest money stream for the CEOs.

You'll find it interesting that retired medical doctors who are no longer threatened by their employees tell the dark and dirty stories of the industrial medical complex. Sadly, once they die, their work is buried with them.

Dr. Darren Schmidt went on a hunt for medical books dating back to the 1930s. He struck gold. The medical authors had revealed profound information that saved lives, but they are soon to be erased from history. This is crazy, but it is reality.

Similar to my series I titled Doctors Who Jumped Ship, I want you to obtain the information these doctors shared before it completely vanishes from books, the internet, and word of mouth from mentors.

Dr. Stuart Graveline is one of these deceased doctors.

I would also add to the list Dr. Nicholas Gonzales, John Beard and others.

Stay tuned.... Part 2

Why Pain Management Disappoints

noreply@blogger.com (Lisa Ann Homic, M.Ed. D.C.) — Fri, 02 May 2025 15:41:00 +0000

Pain Management is Pill Management

Chiropractic is Brain Management. It's as simple as that.

Pain Management or Brain Management. You choose.

Pain medications, opioids, etc., work by inciting the sympathetic response of the nervous system. You don't feel pain when you're in fight or flight. However, this is short lived because the meds wear off and then nervous system reverts back to the healing phase which includes pain and inflammation.

You know yourself, or you know someone else who has dealt with this vicious cycle. The medication mind-set doesn't build confidence or set your mind at ease.

Real change comes from re-teaching the brain.

The brain knows it doesn't want to be slowed down, dragged down by a manipulation with a drug, so it initially revs up the body as a countermeasure. With a large enough dose or repeat dosing, the body goes into parasympathetic dominance which is the opposite. Heart rate will slow, there will be lack of motivation which causes depression. Also energy is decreased, digestion decreased. Eventually the body falls into exhaustion.

Opioids and over the counter nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (aspirin, Advil, Motrin, Aleve) fail at relieving pain because of side effects and the building up of a tolerance to the drugs requiring higher dosing (rebound effects). Tylenol doesn't work either because it only blocks one type of pain producing enzyme and the body has multiple types.

From the chiropractic point of view, we don't look at pain as a problem but a solution trying to finish the job. Yes, it's uncomfortable, but the brain is purposely helping you through an injury, or shocking event. The inflammation is rebuilding tissues and clearing out unneeded cells.

Praise or Paranoia

We can praise the body for it's intelligence or become paranoid because the media inundates us with exaggerated stories convincing you that you can't trust your body.

Chiropractic does one thing: it modifies the nervous system to function at a useful state of ease.

You don't want excessive fight or flight.

You don't want the freeze or faint response to tank your reserves to the point of no return.

You want to partner with the brain. Chiropractic is your partner.

Your spine is an extension of the brain. It contains brain cells, but they are given a different name because of their location in the body.

Your spine detects danger and responds accordingly. This is the innate wisdom. What makes you unique is how your brain stores memories for comparison later on in your life. It's your own customized safety net.

However, we tend to label much of modern life as dangerous causing exhaustion. The body doesn't get enough rest in between stress events.

This is a function of the Limbic System.

Your Limbic System is unique to you based on life experiences and repetition.

We use chiropractic to change the patterns you don't like and retain the patterns you want sustained.

This is how you learned to ride a bike, sew a dress, play a musical instrument, play a sport.

It is also you are careful driving a car. It is how you might over-react and have a fear of driving. This is how you become scared of the dark. It's a useful brain function that might be over-exaggerated.

That's how life works. But this is also why chiropractic is so profound.

Chiropractic helps you rewire your brain.

Chiropractic is the deliberate habit of living according to the brain's point of view. Your spine is an extension of the brain. The adjustment connects through the spine to enhance the brain's protective and rebuilding activities.

Revisit the Doctors Who Jumped Ship Series.

Unknowingly I created a C*v*d museum. Looking to declutter, on Friday, I found these gems. I printed everything in case it was scrubbed from the internet. I have stacks of papers and kept them so people in the waiting room could read them.

I never closed my office. I was touching everyone without gloves. Neck adjustments were the most fun. We're practically cheek to cheek. I didn't inebriate my skin with hand sanitizer.

My peeps stayed longer to socialize, feel supported, even laugh at the antics we saw around town and on TV. A few got sick and stayed home a bit. It was winter after all, less sun, less exercise, "cabin fever" lol, and people needed to detox their stress. I never quarantined. No one needed the hospital.

I had a bad sinus headache that forced me to take one day off. I never tested. I know the exact event and emotion that caused it. (You can figure your stresses out too if you think outside the box. Its not random. You're not immune compromised. You're just recalibrating when you burn the candle at both ends.)

If you're a longtime member of my office, you know you're built differently. You know what questions to ask and you know how to take apart the inconsistencies.

2025 - What I Have Realized

noreply@blogger.com (Lisa Ann Homic, M.Ed. D.C.) — Wed, 05 Feb 2025 15:12:00 +0000

** Chiropractic is the deliberate habit of living according to the brain's point of view. The spine is an extension of the brain.

We utilize the spine to enhance the brain's protection and rebuilding activities. **

If you know what you're really made of, you will work in concert with your brain and body as a partner rather than sitting submissively on the sidelines because of a lack of information.

This year, 2025, I will be celebrating my 25th year as a chiropractor.

So, looking back, what has changed in 25 years?

Back then, after graduation I was looking forward to meeting people. I had the simplest expectation. I would adjust their spines and and they would lead their lives in an enthusiastic manner.

Over the years, I have watched people lose their enthusiasm. They are entirely beat down. But before I unpack these loaded statements, let's revisit my chiropractic journey. (I still have a plan for the next 25 years.)

My passion for chiropractic began in 1995. I was looking for a better way to reach people who were in despair. Working in the mental health care field, people were shut off or shut down. They were separated from what made them great.

Why were people struggling? What was holding them back?

When I was completing my master's degree in clinical counseling, I was developing my own communication style to help people release their own personal chains. While they had to do it for themselves, the counseling process helped chip away each stubborn link. These are the links that they forged in place with their underlying fears, tragedies and unmet expectations.

Counseling helped people awaken to what they were really made of. Counseling gave people permission to regain their confidence.

My explanation here may seem vague, but as I type this I am reliving these encounters with my clients. As we dug up memories and reanalyzed them in a neutral atmosphere of nonjudgmental acceptance, the aha moment or fresh insight would restart a new rewiring process in the brain. They were inspired to adopt new behaviors that allowed them to find the personal success they were looking for.

This was not easy. The process stalled for most people because there's a great deal of social conditioning that needs to be extinguished.

I define social conditioning as beliefs and expectations we've grown up with. They give us structure and security. Not all of them are beneficial to us, however. At times we tend to over-embellish these beliefs and expectations to our detriment.

So, when I say the counseling process is not easy with people often stalling or staying stuck, chiropractic entered my life.

I learned chiropractic speeds up the process.

When someone is trying to release their own personal chains, chiropractic accelerates their progress.

Disclaimer: Results may vary. People are complicated and rewiring the the brain is individualized. No two nervous systems are the same.

If you look back in history 100 years, you'll discover the popularity of chiropractic mental hospitals. I wrote about it in my blog. People with mental distress got well and lived normal lives. I wanted to be a part of this.

Chiropractic is a profoundly exciting way to empower the brain so you can live in an empowered, inspiring manner.

And this moved me to follow the chiropractic path.

(Unfortunately the economic impact of WWII and political peeing matches led to the closings of these hospitals. However, there are still 2 existing chiropractic inpatient facilities for disabled children: Kentuckiana Children's Center and Oklahaven Children's Chiropractic Center.)

Here we are 25 years later.

What I find disturbing is people are not awakened to what they are made of. Instead they act as if they are defective. They have no confidence in their intelligent bodies. We are not growing as humans. I feel we are in a downward spiral. I hope the pendulum swings back the other way.

Early on in my practice people were determined to be healthy through the most natural route. They were assertive when it came to their health decision making.

Now people are full of fear. This was creeping into society before the pandemonium that was nicknamed covid. It seemed year after year my patients' prescription lists kept growing. The same people who swore they would not take medications began to give in. Why? It's not because they are older. Many people now younger than me are regularly taking pills.

If you watch incessant drug ads on TV, you can't help but be hypnotized into the magic formula of music and dancing people. Not a single one of those medications will help you dance. They rob you of your energy and then you blame the disease or aging. Rather than face the truth that a synthetic material with a fancy name might be harming your liver, heart, and brain, you allow it to chip away at your self confidence.

From an early age we are taught that we're not smart enough when it comes to health. Every time we are sick we receive the unspoken message that we can't wait it out on our own. We are told we need monitoring by a doctor because the human body cannot be trusted. We begin to believe we need elixirs not made by the body to get by. It doesn't take long for these beliefs to be solidified as they take up permanent residence in our brains.

As I write this, I feel as if my thoughts tumbling out of my head are so absurd. We can't be that easily swayed. Can we?

Why am I against the pharmaceutical industry? Why am I picking on them? Don't I realize some drugs are necessary? Plenty of room here for debate, but if you are going to debate, you should eventually have options. I don't see a lot of options. There's no more room for second opinions which I see as our downfall.

I won't solely focus on the drug industry, but they are a major factor in declining health. It is very evident this industry preys on our fears. This industry also plays a large role is misleading us on how disease works.

I could go all the way back to the science textbooks in our early schooling. The subtle messaging begins early. And if you want to finish college and that respected degree, you have to believe a lot of the rubbish taught. I believed it, because I trusted the generations of educators.

I was taught to be scared of the human body because it so complex and mysterious. There are so many terrible diseases that start out with similar symptoms that if I got it wrong then the wrong treatment would be administered. A misdiagnosis can send you down the wrong path, wasting your time, making you worse. You can go to any medical website, type in a few vague symptoms and be given up to 50 possible diagnoses. More panic and distrust of your mysterious body.

Forgotten history (when recalled) can help free us from our own chains. The first Merck Manual of Diagnosis and Therapy, published in 1899 was a mere 192 pages. It was probably published on thick crudely made paper compared to today's mass produced tissue paper. The latest issue has 3,854 pages printed on such thin pages that they will tear if you "leaf" through them too quickly.

This large tome must be proof that we have gotten sicker in the last 100 years. There are so many new diseases. Or, we didn't have the same lifespan. The average age of death in the 1890s was 42 years. So, that explains why these diseases weren't discovered yet. Funny, Ben Franklin lived to age 84 in 1790. I can't fall for that line of reasoning. And neither should you.

Unwanted Naming Game

Along with modern medicine is the multitude of tests. If we can measure it we think we can control it. And we think we know exactly what the body is doing. Blood pressure, blood glucose, cholesterol, insulin, enzymes, bone density, Xrays, MRI, CT scans, etc.

The reliance on tests has given us a certain ignorance. It's the new fangled short cut to put you in a diagnosis box that does more damage than good. How many friends and family have said, "At least I now what I've have." It has a name followed by a long list of treatments (mostly drugs.)

The label follows you around the rest of your life. It's in your electronic medical record permanently whether it was accurate and useful or not. It colors how the next doctor views you. Patient profiling. You're stuck. You are not a unique person anymore. You are a statistic. All treatment offered to you is based on a algorithmic math problem because of tests. And everyone is expected to meet the same criteria. For example, blood pressure must be below 120/80. This has become the most fear inducing measurement giving people a sense of helplessness. It feels

You Are Not Standard-You Are Special

When I was in chiropractic college, I was taught "standard of care." There's standard medical care and there's standard chiropractic care. These are a set of typical approaches we needed to utilize based on consensus. Imagine a secret society sitting in a dark room taking a vote. Good luck if you request a certain treatment or test. If it didn't receive the popular vote, your concern is ignored or you might be ostracized for thinking outside the box.

I teach my practice members that they are unique. Their nervous systems are unique. Their own life experiences that are wired into their brains are unique. No one can be a textbook example. Each of us has an inborn, innate intelligence that carries us through our lives. I guess it's so amazing we can't believe it. But you are proof. Despite our social conditioning that we should live in fear, you are proof of something profoundly magnificent.

My Failure in This

I didn't do a very good job of helping people question the beliefs that keep them stuck. I've been in practice for 25 years and only a few people have caught on to the inconsistencies. Many of us are late bloomers. It's not a matter of being a slow learner, but that of being a slow un-learner.

Why would these health lies persist? How am I supposed to feel about the experienced teachers I trusted? (I'm not going to list the "health lies" here. You know enough of them already. Numerous times in your life you have experienced the health explanations that don't make sense to you.)

Chiropractic speeds up the process of personal growth, as long as you are open to it.

Most people go to the chiropractor to get rid of a pain. If you know me, you are aware that I teach the neurological definition of pain. It is a sensation created by the body in response to a stress. Everyone has a different pain barometer. You've known people who have a high pain tolerance. Even your pain is unique to you. I also teach the purpose of pain. We know healing hurts, but stopping the process prematurely leaves a person with weakness. If you're open to this view of the body, you can remove a lot of heavy chains.

Chiropractic helps the brain and body relax, but it won't override the brain's function. If the brain needs to repair and rebuild, it will continue to do so. It won't stop the inflammation. It will boost the inflammatory process so it can complete the job. A chiropractic adjustment applied to a person with a fever may spike the fever so the body can complete the job. A relaxed body that isn't stuck in fight or flight can do the job more efficiently.

If we can reduce the fear response by changing our attitudes about the body, the adjustment can be more effective.

** Chiropractic is the deliberate habit of living according to the brain's point of view. (This is the opposite of the disease-model.)

The spine is an extension of the brain.

We utilize the spine to enhance the brain's protection and rebuilding activities. **

If we deliberately live according to the brain's point of view, health becomes simple.

We use chiropractic to enhance the brain's protection and rebuilding activities. This does not mean stopping pain. Sometimes we are pain free when fight or flight dulls our senses. Pain free may mean you are in a hyper vigilant state of survival and you are burning through your energy reserves.

My goal is to help you reclaim the intelligence of your body. I want you to get reacquainted with your body. Reduce the fear so you are confident. You can be empowered and not helpless.

Rather than focus on 25 years of declining confidence, it is an appropriate time to say, "Enough is enough."

Have we hit rock bottom?

Often great change is inspired by hitting rock bottom. At this point there is only one direction to go: UP! We all hit rock bottom at different times in our lives.

If you appreciate my message, let me know. Get under chiropractic care through the brain's point of view instead of society's fear based approach.

If my message doesn't make sense. I'm sorry. I'm still working on it. Sometimes a friend can explain it better than me.

Nothing changes unless the brain changes.

We have gentle ways to introduce positive change so you can release your unwanted chains.

Learn what you're really made of.

We must grow as humans. We must expand our minds and inspire our communities. Join me on the journey.

Health is a Product of Time Management

noreply@blogger.com (Lisa Ann Homic, M.Ed. D.C.) — Sun, 22 Sep 2024 19:28:00 +0000

All health is determined by the adaptability of the Fight or Flight response. You've probably heard me say this. Our goal is to reduce the stress that puts us into a hyper-triggered state of Fight or Flight so we can maintain our strength, energy and organ resilience.

But, this also means: All health is determined by your time management.

Sure, you're asked to make a commitment to health. How do you commit? You get rest, exercise more, buy whole foods and get to the chiropractic office once a week. This requires time. You set aside the time to accomplish these things.

Many people, however, put them on the back burner. How many times do people call me last minute and hope I can fit them in ASAP? Well, that kind of procrastination is not good for your health, nor is it good for my health.

My being available to you is dependent on my own healthy activities. So, I too, have to take time to nurture my health. And that may mean I'm not in the office at certain times of the day.

I'm not trying to sound like a lecturing parent. I have my own habits I need to reign in.

When people say they don't have time to do something, the simple answer is that they are involved in other activities that are generally not improving their lives.

How much TV do you watch? I know I watch too much. I just watched a 10 episode series in one night and realized at its conclusion, it was a morbid depressing show. Two characters died, one ended up alone, and they were constantly breaking the law in order obtain a massive of amount of money hoping their dreams would come true.

I came home on a Friday afternoon and was feeling extra tired from the week. I should have just taken a nap so I could do more useful activities the rest of the evening. Instead, I got hooked into this show, binge watching it until midnight. Yikes.

The next day I felt so bad about it, that I promised myself I would only watch informative videos or listen to podcasts the rest of the day.

I scroll too much social media, too. I am looking for educational articles. Sometimes my friends share interesting things. But, not so much. The algorithm hides most of my friends' posts and I am inundated with irrelevant ads. I'm all for humor and comedy, but I'm not interested in the practical jokes.

How many walks could I have taken? How many blog articles could I have written? I could have had a good nights' sleep.

We tell ourselves we need a little down time to refresh, but really, is that down time abused?

Think about it.

If you take a lot of down time, are you exhausted? Have you burned through your reserves and beat up your body's self protective Fight or Flight response? Do you avoid more important activities because you have anxiety over them? Does this anxiety stem from hyper-triggered fight or flight response?

I'm summarizing how we tend to rewire the nervous system in ways that rob us of energy, creativity, and time for quality socialization.

How would you assess your health right now?

How's your:

1- Mind-Set

2- Mobility

3- Nutrition

4- Sleep

We use chiropractic to rewire the nervous system. What would you like to do better?

Let's Talk About Brain Priority

If you've been in my office more than a week, you know I say the brain sets the priority and there is no point in arguing with your brain. Your brain knows what you need at each and every moment.

Do you return the favor when your body works so hard for you? How do you pay back what stress takes? We don't have to intervene. The term "intervene" sounds like you need to take over for the body's mistakes, but that is not true. The body doesn't make
mistakes, the brain decides what is necessary at each moment and delegates instructions to each organ, muscles, blood vessel, cell. (It's a very intelligent survival response.)

When your inner and outer environments change, the brain reassesses and updates the instructions. But, it is smart to replenish the body's reserves. Replenish with nerve energy (chiropractic), nutrients, and teaching (downgrade your personal triggers that over-stimulates the fight or flight response). Let's do it together. See you at the table. ---The Chiropractic Table

-----------------

Brain First / Body Follows

Brain Priority Influences Body Function

Mind-Set	You can properly interpret the nervous system. You can understand how your unique experiences shape your nervous system. (Learned Triggers) Chiropractic stimulates the pre-frontal cortex. (The thinking and discerning part of the brain.)
Mobility	Your mobility mirrors the adaptability of the nervous system. Mobility and strength maintain your independence. Chiropractic influences your mobility.
Nutrition	Replenish depleted nutrients used up by the nervous system. Chiropractic assists the digestive system for nutrient assimilation.
Sleep	The brain detoxes and refreshes during sleep. Chiropractic supports a rewarding sleep routine.

You're Not a Machine - You're a Masterpiece - Embrace It - Live Like It

noreply@blogger.com (Lisa Ann Homic, M.Ed. D.C.) — Mon, 22 Jul 2024 20:17:00 +0000

The #1 challenge for all of us is to understand how amazing we are and to embrace it. The sophisticated innate intelligence is always taking care of the body. But then we stop short and switch over to the disease model. The body is amazing, yet it can't be trusted. Not very productive.

Everything the body does is correct for the situation, even if it makes us uncomfortable. A better understanding of this can reduce the anxiety that makes pain more intense. I expect inflammation and swelling if the body needs time to repair and replace tissue. We don't want to interrupt the process. We want to work with it, in a partnership.

The nervous system coordinates all body functions, and we must remember that every system is involved with every injury or rebuilding process. Nothing in the body happens independently. This is the masterpiece.

If you are injured or fatigued, your circulation responds, your heart beat responds, your endocrine system such as the thyroid and adrenals responds, your lungs respond, your body temperature responds. Your skeletal system responds. Your digestive rhythm changes. Even your hearing and eyesight respond.

When coming to the chiropractor, I hope we aren't compartmentalizing the body. We do ourselves a disservice.

I adjust the spine in order to beef up the brain's attentiveness to the situation. The first step is to calm the fight or flight response so the body can get back to the essential process of repair. That may mean spiking a fever. It may mean reducing a fever. It may increase inflammation, or decrease inflammation. It may speed up the intestines or slow down the intestines. It's all based on the brain's focus on immediate needs to get the job done.

Many people come to me and say, "I hurt here," and point. That's the sensation that gets the most attention, but there's so much more going on in the body that we take for granted.

It may appear that I am a "hinge doctor." Adjusting the spine helps improve motion, but the brain gets a whole lot more information from that adjustment.

So much happens with your masterpiece.

You are a Masterpiece! Live Like It1 Be Proud! Be Unstoppable!

pain processing emotional response to pain

autonomic function (just about everything)

motor control eye movement spacial awareness

fall prevention muscle strength

pelvic floor control mental rotation of objects

(www.spinalresearch.au)

*Normalizing Blood Pressure

*Mood and Attention Improvement

*Blood Glucose efficiency– decreases insulin resistance

*Improvements and/or Reversal of neurodegenerative brain physiology (HUGE!)

*Epigenetic Changes – this changes fertility and short & long term offspring physiology

*Increase ATP – which is a “game-changer” for many reasons

*Telomere shortening – one of GREATEST “anti-aging” strategies in health today!

*Heart Disease – #1 contributor to heart disease in men and women is increased sustained sympathetic tone

*Immune System – Radically affects the immune system. Better than any marketable strategy medicine has to offer

Brain Changes

*One study noted the changes made in brain patterns and activity was more in one session than multiple weeks of standard psychological treatment made to brain!(You should know that brain-based neurophysiologists get their mind blown when they get to see the power of an adjustment on the brain!)

*Chiropractic was also shown to improve muscle strength, stability, and fatigue more in one session than 3 weeks of weight training! (Mind-Blowing!!)

Let me throw a few musculoskeletal benefits in here:

*Increases mobility and reduces Spinal Degeneration – degeneration shown to set in within 10-14 days with reduced mobility.

*5x better at musculoskeletal pain reduction than celebrex and vioxx combined (sad part here is that celebrex and vioxx together gross more $ per year ALONE than the entire chiropractic profession….the world desperately needs what we do!)

(www.chiropracticadvocate.com)

What else happens when you release subluxations with adjustments:

Decrease pro-inflaming cytokines (bad guys) ***

Increase neurotensin

Increase pro-regulatory cytokines (good guys) ***

Increase oxytocin

Increase CD-4 helpter T-cells (good guys) ***

Increase orexin A

Block TNF (bad guys) ***

Better cortisol response

Decrease CRP (bad guys) ***

Increase DNA repair with maintenance

**** I don't follow the good inflammation/bad inflammation belief. Inflammation is a purposeful form of repair. Higher levels of inflammation indicate the repair has been ineffective due to higher stress levels, higher toxin levels.

Doctors Who Jumped Ship (More in 2024)

noreply@blogger.com (Lisa Ann Homic, M.Ed. D.C.) — Sun, 21 Jul 2024 22:17:00 +0000

I came across this neurosurgeon who entirely left the medical profession. He gave a long but very insightful explanation. Much of what he said is relevant to today's ongoing "health care crisis." I really felt empathy for him and I understand exactly where he is coming from.

I encourage you to listen to his story. LISTEN HERE.

He belongs in my Doctors Who Jumped Series that I began writing in 2020. You can revisit the entire series here.

There are a few take home messages with this gentleman.

#1- There are certain life style habits that help you not need surgery. Many of his patients who had a date of surgery scheduled managed to do some self care and then cancel the whole thing.

#2- I would venture to say there are certain personalities that do not need surgery. Looking at number there are people who have a particular mind-set that helps them get through these kinds of challenges. And listening this man's story he met a number of folks who quickly adopted this mind-set when push came to shove.

#3- Watching surgery fail so many people is absolutely disconcerting to health care professionals who went through extensive training. Imagine being led to believe your education will make a difference but once you are so deep in the time and money you realize it was a mistake.

This gentleman is now taking a major retreat, time out for himself, so he can rest his brain, and figure out a way to make a come back without the long term effects of trauma. Now, it does sound dramatic when I say "trauma" but it is a considerable demoralization when reality did not meet expectations. I believe we all have a similar experience when something was a huge disappointment. After all, we want to be optimistic and trusting. As I mentioned in by book, You Don't Have a Disease You Have A Nervous System, I wanted to show respect to my teachers. You need a bit of humility when you're learning from those who have been in the field a whole lot longer.

The beauty of life is that each of us is incredibly different. We each have our unique dreams, talents, and experiences. We don't want to be carbon copies of each other. Innovation comes from creativity and looking at things from a different perspective.

This gentleman is facing uncertainty, but I bet he'll do just fine. As he has realized that a person's mind-set plays so much more in person's state of health, which most of medicine ignores, he'll make the most of his authentic mind-set paving a new way in the world.

If you remember from your chiropractic orientation packet that each new member receives on day one, studies have shown chiropractic enhances cognitive therapy, psychological therapy as well as in pain perception, mobility, and endocrine function.

Dr. Peter Breggin, Psychiatry Reformer

Chiropractic is a neurofeedback training exercise. This enhances your ability to rewire how your brain perceives the world and nurtures your body.

Chiropractic as a maintenance practice rewires the brain. It takes time and repetition, which is how your brain has learned all your life. This time we are more deliberate.
