According to the report in the 02/08 issue of Circulation, "as you increase your ability to exercise and increase your fitness, you are decreasing the risk of death,"

Chiropractic Adjustment Restores Man’s Vision


According to a report on KCRG in Cedar Rapids, Iowa this past January, medical doctors aren't quite sure how it happened, but a man in Dubuque, Iowa can see clearly after being blind in one eye for more than a decade.
It happened after a trip to the chiropractor.
According to the news story, twelve years ago Doug Harkey's left eye suddenly stopped working. "I woke up one day and I didn't have vision in one eye."
And as quickly as he lost sight, he got it back.
After a routine visit to Chiropractor Tim Stackis, Harkey said a miracle happened.
"My blind eye starting watering after I left the office and it watered for 45 minutes straight. It started making my good eye water. I went to wipe my right eye and I could see out of my left eye again."
Doctor Stackis said, “the bones in the Harkey's neck were out of alignment and that that interferes with the messages and energy the brain sends down to the rest of the body."
We bring this news story to your attention for a few very good reasons:
A cure was not being attempted.
By adjusting Harkey’s spine, his nerve system normalized and a body function was restored.
This happens during every chiropractic adjustment but the restoration of function is not always so dramatic.
Normal function is always preferable.


The Bottom Line…The Bottom Line…The Bottom Line…




Normal function and regulation of body systems combined with regular exercise and proper nutrition are the cornerstones of good health. Mix in plenty of pure water, a positive mental attitude and sufficient rest and you have the recipe for a long and healthy life. The alternative is to try and re-capture health after it is lost. We are more willing to make lifestyle choices that contribute to our health AFTER it has been lost. Make that change now and enjoy good health!
