In The Beginning...

  
 God created us perfectly. He gave us everything necessary to be healthy and live long. Somewhere along the way, we lost touch. This blog is the tale of my journey to find that health once more and ensure that I will live a long life - barring freak occurrences  of course.
   For years I have dabbled in natural remedies and healing. Sure, I could list several things that one herb could help with, but that was just the tip of the iceberg lettuce so to speak. About a year ago, I was introduced to Principle Chiropractic. What the heck is that you ask? Most of the time when someone thinks about a chiropractor, they picture someone who simply pops backs and cracks necks. They think of someone who's job it is to make back pain go away. The truth may surprise you...
   D.D. Palmer was the world's first chiropractor in 1895. It was on September 18, 1895 that D.D. Palmer gave the first chiropractic adjustment to Mr. Harvey Lillard, returning his hearing. And so began the world of chiropractic care which looks to the spine for answers to the nervous system. You see, the brain connects the rest of the body via the super highway known as the nervous system. If there is interference with this system, such as a vertebra out of place putting pressure on the nerve, the signal is blocked and can not be sent nor received properly. This interference leads to sickness & disease. Now in modern day, you do find a lot of "pain clinic" chiropractors. You can usually tell those by their advertisements for pain & injury after car accidents and such. Unfortunately, they do make up the majority of today's chiropractors, but I believe that is changing! Principle Chiropractic is the practice of focusing on the nervous system to attain health through manual manipulations of the spine.
   It was when I learned this and became under the care of a Principle Chiropractor that I began to look at other natural ways to improve my health. This is a journal of sorts for that progress. I have already learned so much, changed so much and am still eager to learn more! Please note, the choices I have made and will tell you about, are choices I have made on my own. I do not impose my beliefs or convictions upon anyone. If you choose to take the same path as me, great! If not, that's ok too. We don't have to walk the exact way to still take a journey!
  I welcome all *positive* feedback & questions. You  know the old saying, "If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all"! To express your own opinion, even if it's opposite of mine, that's fine. Just be nice about it!
