The opposite of faith is the same as the opposite of love, it's fear and doubt.
Faith is love in action.
Faith, nothing doubting is how I got through school. It's how I found a job with the exact techniques and values that I wanted, it's how I surrounded myself with the people and the circumstances that could help me grow like I knew I needed to. It's how we went on vacation with no money and no job, and came home to the promise of a new life. It's seeing the end from the beginning. And it's amazing.
When Natalie and I came together with only 3 months of school left and saw the mountain that we would have to climb, it was indeed scary. But, we put our heads together and really focused our intent on the circumstances that we wanted to create. We saw the end so clearly. We could see graduation. We prayed fervently, we doubled our efforts, we increased our faithfulness. We had no idea HOW it would happen, the only thing we knew was that it would. And we succeeded, right on time--something that looked virtually impossible ony a few short months before. They say seeing is believing. I say--having vision creates the ability to see AFTER believing. That's love in action. When you have the vision and proper motivation, you find the resources and skills to make it happen. You find the power you need to draw upon to accomplish the desire of your soul.

The new place
Today is my first day off since beginning work as a chiropractor. It's exciting to finally be doing what I've been studying to do for the last 12 years (an extended time due to several trips to various parts of the world).
It is with great excitement that I say to all the inhabitants of Reno, Nevada - get ready because we're here! Moving took a lot of time and energy earlier this year, but we're settled and ready to go.
I'm excited to be able to share the expanding truth about human health and potential with members of the community, we've already been to the largest OB/GYN practice in Nevada to tell them about the great benefits pregnant women and newborns can receive from chiropractic and living a wellness lifestyle.

Stress is a known killer. Any time you talk about heart disease (the nation's #1 killer) stress should be part of the conversation. But I say that most conversations about stress are incomplete and possibly misguided.
When we discuss "stress" in America, for the most part we're discussing only one subcategory of stress - we usually are talking about EMOTIONAL stress which is a very large, but at the same time small piece of the overall puzzle.

Chasing Darkness
I was thinking about this the other day -- Let's say you're in your house at night in a lighted bedroom with you door closed. Now let's also say the hallway is dark - there's no light. You're really thirsty so you get up to get a glass of water from the kitchen. As you open the door, let me ask you this question - does the darkness rush into the lighted room? Or does the light rush out? How many times out of a million?
You're right - Every time without exception!
Now let me ask you this question - if you wanted all the darkness out of your entire house - could you go around to all the corners and haul it away? Or does it make more sense to turn on the light?
Right again, in fact turning on the light is the ONLY way to have no darkness - by definition darkness is a LACK of light. It cannot exist on it's own, we only talk about darkness when there is no light.
Light is the entity that can be measured, darkness is not an entity. It has no properties. You cannot measure the amount of darkness present - it does not exist, it's simply the ABSENCE of light.

Teeth falling out?
Do you think teeth falling out is fun? I don't. And obviously my wife doesn't either, that's why she brushes our daughters' teeth every day.
Did you know there are places in the world that just DON'T emphasize tooth brushing and flossing? That's right, and the industrial societies that don't do well with tooth maintenance have above average tooth problems, go figure...
What if America were one of those societies where only 8% of the population thought maintaining the teeth were important? Would the 92% who don't maintain their teeth think that those 8% were crazy for regularly going to see the dentist, even if the teeth didn't hurt?
We all know that it's possible to have a silent problem in our teeth developing if they're not maintained and checked up on.
This is why in America, MOST of the population sees a dentist regularly even without tooth pain - for prevention and maintenance. This is not seen as a crazy idea.
Amazing as it sounds, in modern day America, there are only 8% of the population that think that maintaining the spine is important. Unlike teeth which can be replaced when they rot, the bones of the spine cannot be replaced when they become sick. This is why maintenance of the spine is more important than maintaing teeth and only 8% of our population is onto this simple truth. Crazy? Only for those 92% who aren't caring for their spines.

World Breatstfeeding Week
August 1 through 7 is World Breastfeeding Week!
What a wonderfully needed concept in modern America as well as other "developed" nations who have been swept away by the false idea that we can actually engineer a product that's comparable or (roll eyes here) better than what God and Mother Nature designed for human young.
Here's what the World Health Organization (WHO) has to say about breastfeeding:
[But the idea of World Breastfeeding Week is actually not for these "civilized" countries, it's for the underdeveloped countries of the world.]
It is true that formulas now are better than previous variants (high-fructose corn syrup), but the truth is that each successive version of the original (which was thought to be just as good or better than breastmilk, but of course now this idea was laughable) does get more nutritious, but the only way it will ever be as good as breastmilk is if it were actually - well, breastmilk.
For this reason, the WHO recommends in order: 1-Breastfeeding by the mother, 2- Breastfeeding by a woman other than the mother, 3- Breastmilk from a bottle, and lastly if NONE of the above options are available, 4- formula.
Please understand that breastfeeding by a mother who is fit, healthy, and happy is the absolute BEST nutrition there will ever be for a baby! This is something that you should absolutely strive for if you want your baby to have the best start in life, however, over the last decade there has been increasing alarm about the toxicity of breastmilk. Some of the chemicals of concern are those that have been banned since the '70s (PCBs, etc). These chemicals are so bad that they can hang around for decades and affect generation after generation. Are we in trouble? Only if we continue blindly down this toxic road.
It is up to us to understand that the things we choose to purchase actually support companies that are responsible for poisoning us and our children. It is up to us to spend the time to get informed about companies like Monsanto who kill for profit, about the devastation of herbicides, pesticides and anything else ending in "-cide" which means "kill".
Some of the worst offenders have been antibiotics. When will we stop focusing on killing everything and instead focus on making ourselves stronger by consuming the diet our bodies were designed to eat, moving the ways we were designed to move, and forming thoughts and relationships our bodies were designed to have? This is the only chance we have as a species on earth and it starts day one with breastfeeding by a mother who is properly nourished in body, mind, and spirit.

Here's what the World Health Organization (WHO) has to say about breastfeeding:
"Breastfeeding is an unequalled way of providing ideal food for the healthy growth and development of infants; it is also an integral part of the reproductive process with important implications for the health of mothers. As a global public health recommendation, infants should be exclusively breastfed for the first six months of life to achieve optimal growth, development and health. Thereafter, to meet their evolving nutritional requirements, infants should receive nutritionally adequate and safe complementary foods while breastfeeding continues for up to two years of age or beyond. Exclusive breastfeeding from birth is possible except for a few medical conditions, and unrestricted exclusive breastfeeding results in ample milk production."

Montel Wiliams says: "It's the Most Amazing Thing That Ever Happened To Me!"
What was Montel Williams so worked up over in 2008?
"It's the most amazing thing that has ever happened to me!" exclaims Montel Williams after less than two weeks of chiropractic care. Montel has been diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. He explains how after suffering from pain, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year, he experienced almost instantaneous relief from pain with his first chiropractic adjustment.
