Who's a Body to Believe?

An article in the Philadelphia Inquirer (1-9-95 page G-1), questioned the wisdom of giving over-the-counter (OTC) drugs to children. Even though Americans spend 3 billion dollars a year on cough and cold medicines, their effectiveness and safety are being challenged by physicians. A Bryn Mawyr physician scientifically disputed the claims made by Robitussin, Sudafed, Dimetap, Vicks, Ny-Quill, and others. And wouldn't you know it, the article also stated that "In some cases, these drugs may actually cause potentially dangerous side effects in young children, who can catch up to a dozen colds a year." Surprise surprise!!!
Things are even worse in the disease-screening and disease-prevention areas. The National Cancer Institute had recommended against mammography for women under 50. Further, there was no evidence that it benefits women over 65. In a report in their Journal, not something that I have contrived, the results of screening 1,000 women resulted in the following:
-30% received false negative results (test would fail to detect cancer)
-37.8% would receive false positive results(test would show cancer where none existed).
Some authorities feel that the benefits to the 50-60 age group is very small and the high false positives make the overall value of the test nil. I don't want to inundate you with statistics, but, an article in the journal, Circulation, concluded that there is no association between high blood cholesterol and cardiovascular death in women. Authorities disagree on these issues, so, who do you believe? It seems that, rather than put our faith in an authority which will be proved wrong tomorrow, we need to use common sense and reason.
At Selimo Chiropractic in Whippany, Chiropractic adjustments make sense to a person who reasons that living his or her life with a good nerve supply is better than living life with a nervous system carrying interference due to vertebral subluxations. You do not need an authority or a scientific study to tell you that. At Selimo Chiropractic I want you to accept chiropractic care for your health, not based upon faith in me or some scientific study which can be repudiated tomorrow, but because it makes sense to your reasonable mind.
At Selimo Chiropractic in Whippany, I believe it should be: Chiropractic first, medications second and surgery last.

The "ORCHESTRA" of LIFE!!

Have you ever seen a live orchestra perform? If you have then you will have an easy time relating to this easy yet very important concept. An orchestra, as you know, consists of several different sections. The sections are as follows: String, brass, percussion and the woodstring. What we have to realize is that the instruments don't all play as loud as they want to, or, whenever they want to. I know, amazing isn't it? You see there is actually a person who leads these instruments and lets them know when they should be playing. This person is called the "conductor". His responsibility is to lead each individual section and let them know the volume at which to play and the timing. Just imagine if during a performance, every time the percussion section was supposed to play, you heard the brass section blast off. Or, how about while you were listening to the woodwind section, they just stopped playing. How would the overall performance sound? Would you want your money back?
What does this have to do with your health? Maybe the more important question to ask is, what does this have to do with your LIFE? Just this. Think of the conductor as your brain and central nerve system. The nerve system controls and coordinates all functions of the human body. Think of all your organs, cells, muscles and glands as all the instruments of the human body. Each has an important role in the overall function within the body. Right? The million dollar question we need to ponder is this! Do any of your organs perform any of their functions without being told to do so by the conductor (brain & nerve system) of the body? Survey said!!! NO!!! Also, the definition of health according to Grays Anatomy is: 100% function of all cells, organs, glands and muscles. Not convinced?!! Ok. Ever hear of a "Nerve-Ectomy"?!!! No!!! And guess what? You never will. A nerve-ectomy is the removal of the nerve system. If they removed your nerve system, you would die.
At Selimo Chiropractic, located in the Parsippany area, I am a dedicated professional. My concern and promise to you is that your nerve system will be working at the optimal level of functionality. This will enhance your human experience in ways you couldn't imagine. So what are you waiting for. Come in today for a FREE consultation.

Sincerely,
Dr. Pat Selimo

"AND THE TRUTH SHALL SET YOU FREE"

The title is from the bible. Those words are a great intro to an awesome sermon. However, if taken to heart and applied in your life on a daily basis, they can also be life changing. Being a commited FaceBook user, I often come across some interesting dialogue. For instance, just the other day I happened to witness a dialogue pertaining to deadlifting and chiropractic and your back. The comment was made by a certain individual that he was "back, no pun intended" with reference to weight training and chiropractic.
Which brings me to TRUTH #1! Chiropractic has absolutely nothing to do with your back. People get confused because they are usually laying on their stomach while the chiropractor is "cracking his back"!!!!! UGHHHH!!! Wrong, wrong, WRONGGGG!!! Improper description to one of the most important natural things you can have done to your body without dangerous consequences. What is actually taking place is what we common chiropractic folk, at Selimo Chiropractic of Whippany, call "a specific (and I do mean specific) chiropractic adjustment". Your spine cannot and should not be accessed from the front, especially if your a female, because the spine and nervous system is located on the dorsal, posterior A.K.A "BACK SIDE" of the body. Are you picking up what I'm leaving down!?
TRUTH #2! Chiropractors don't heal anything!!! (Wow! This guy is NUTS!!!). No, the truth is that the body heals itself. It says in the Bible that we are "fearfully and wonderfully made"!! That means that inside the human body, as God would have it, is the most amazing system ever created. This system is called the central nervous system and anatomy books tell us that it is the most important system in the body as it controls every organ, gland and most of the cellular activity in the body.
At Selimo Chiropractic in Whippany we specialize in objective straight chiropractic. We understand that when you receive specific chiropractic adjustments, not the amateur, non-precise, potentially dangerous ones that most people try on their living room floor, something amazing happens. Life is what happens. What do I mean??????? The life that is carried to every aspect of the body is fully restored back to normal so that every organ, gland, muscle and cell can function optimally. As a result, the life that God intended you to have can than be experienced.
I am a big believer that once you are given accurate information, its your responsibility to pass it on to others. You have just been given a truth. What will you do with it?

Be all you can be and keep your spine clear of any and all interferences.

Shhh!!! I Think Dr. Pat Has Gone "Insaaaaaaane!!!

So you think I'm crazy? You think my brain has been abducted by an alien? I have been telling everyone to get their children and, dare I say it, infant's spine checked!!! Here, at Selimo Chiropractic located in Whippany NJ, I have been explaining to practice members the importance as to why their children should have their spines checked. Am I crazy? Dr. Pat, have you lost your mind? Well, not exactly. Before you read on, I must inform you that chiropractic does not treat any diseases. Nor does it cure everything and anything that ails you.
Let's look at the birthing process. The newborn that knew only the warmth, softness, darkness, quiet and comfort of the womb is suddenly exposed to a cold, noisy, hard, harsh, blinding world. Separated from mother, often dangled from its heels and struck on its rear, these procedures can cause permanent physical trauma and emotional scarring. As one expert stated: "The birth process, even under optimal controlled conditions, is potentially a traumatic , crippling event for the baby...the application of standard orthodox procedures may prove intolerable to the baby. Ready or not here it comes!!! "Most signs of neonatal injury observed in the delivery room are neurological. " For these reasons, all infants need to have their spine checked to see if they have subluxations (nerve stress) in their bodies. Subluxations may cause serious health problems in infancy and in later life. At Selimo Chiropractic in Whippany, we are specially trained to locate and remove subluxations, helping your child's body to work as naturally as possible.
Doesn't your child deserve to have the best start in life possible? Call today for a free consultation!! The time is now!! What are you waiting for? A medical endorsement?

Sincerely, Dr. Pat

What Makes "US" Any Different?

Just recently, I had commented on a friends post on FaceBook. The post had alluded to the fact that he was sore from working out. To which I had stated he should be getting his spine checked on a regular basis which will enhance his workouts. Then, as FaceBook bantering would have it, I was kindly called a salesperson and received a few "ATTA BOYS" for my alleged sales "pitch". Which brings me to a very important question. Are we any different than professional athletes? Did you know that Tiger Woods and Barry Bonds use regular chiropractic care? So do Andy Roddick, Lance Armstrong and oodles of professional athletes in just about every sport. Near my office, located in the town of Whippany NJ, the JETS football team have their training facility. Guess what? They have 5 team chiropractors on staff. Why? They achieve better balance, improved coordination, faster recovery from injury, prevention of injuries, more energy and strength, among other benefits. All, without drugs!!!!!! You also might not be aware of the fact that more professional athletes use chiropractic than ever before!! Did I just pull that out of a hat? NO!! As a matter of fact the journal Chiropractic Economics reported that over 95% of the teams in the NFL use chiropractors as a regular part of player care. Barry Bonds, one of the all-time best baseball players, had a personal chiropractor who would travel to games. Bonds reportedly said, "I think it should be mandatory to see a chiropractor."
At Selimo Chiropractic, located in Whippany Nj, I specialize in objective straight chiropractic. My objective is to analyze your spine and remove a silent but LIFE diminishing entity known as a vertebral subluxation. This entity will rob your body of the God given potential to heal itself. Subluxations in some circles have been referred to as the silent killer. I would call it the "Silent Life Robber"!! Kidding. However, all kidding aside, optimal health and a fully expressed life comes from within. Do you want do get the most out of life? Call Selimo Chiropractic in Whippany today! I will teach you how to "Add Years to Your Life"! What are you waiting for? A medical endorsement? As if............!!!!

Can Chiropractic Strengthen Your Immune System

The landmark book Spontaneous Remission is a collection of hundreds of documented cases of individuals whose cancers (nearly every kind); infectious and parasitic diseases; endocrine, nutritional, metabolic and immune disorders; diseases of the blood and blood forming disorders; nervous system disorders; mental disorders and other diseases spontaneously healed. The authors state: There is a wide body of evidence suggesting that extraordinary healing, including regression of normally fatal tumors, takes place, with no known scientific explanation. Such observations have long been noted: The body is fighting cancer all the time and winning....early cancers are probably being detected and combatted in the body on a regular basis. If you take this process and step it up in intensity, you have the "miracle" of spontaneous remission. What does any of this have to do with Chiropractic...you say?? Chiropractic is a powerful immune system "wake up call." At Selimo Chiropractic located in the Parsippany area, I analyze your spine to locate vertebral subluxations, a serious condition that causes spine and nerve stress and impairs your immune function. Over 100 years of chiropractic and osteopathic observations have demonstrated spinal care's effect on immune function. Psychoneuroimmunology (PNI) is increasingly revealing that the health of your brain, spinal cord and nerves profoundly influences your physical and emotional health, something chiropractors and their practice members have observed for over a hundred years. Your body wisdom, your inner healer, is always working to balance your chemistry, strengthen your systems and awaken your connection to life.

Chiropractic is mysterious? No way!!

So many people have incorporated chiropractic care into their lives. They get periodic chiropractic checkups and (if needed) adjustments for themselves and their families. Subluxation-free people are shown to feel great and are happier and healthier. Some people are actually blessed enough to have been under chiropractic care since they were children. Yet to others chiropractic care is mysterious. Why? Simply because they have never seen a chiropractor. Here at Selimo Chiropractic, located in the Parsippany area, we don't give drugs, shots, surgery or do invasive procedures and some people are more afraid of going to a chiropractor than going under the knife. We've even known people like that. Do your friends a favor! Introduce them to us! Even if they just come in with you and wait in the waiting room, just seeing other practice members and our professional office is enough to diffuse alot of fear. Maybe they'll even ask us some questions. It will be an honor to answer them. Please call me if you have any questions at 973-668-8928. Or go to my web-site at http://www.selimochiro.com/index.html

Chiropractic For a Happier, Healthier Child

Want a happier, healthier child? Bring them for a chiropractic spinal checkup. Chiropractors locate and correct vertebral subluxations in childrens spines, reducing posture, nerve and spinal stresses. For over a hundred years parents, clinicians and researchers have noticed improvements in physical health, behavior and emotional states of children following chiropractic care. Among the observed effects of subluxation correction are improvements in emotional, behavioral and neurological problems such as asthma, anxiety, inhability to concentrate, hyperactivity, dyslexia, learning disabilities, attention deficit disorders, discipline problems and even low grades. None of this should come as a surprise because chiropractic is the #1 health enhancing profession in the world! Over 60 million people use chiropractic on a regular basis. The question I have to pose to you is: what are you waiting for, a medical endorsement? At Selimo Chiropractic, located in the Parsippany area, we focus on educating the public on the importance of lifetime chiropractic care. It just does not make sense to use it any other way! http://www.selimochiro.com/index.html

Chiropractic Research (Colicky Children)

As a pure objective straight chiropractor, it can sometimes be difficult to convey the pure message without being accused of treating a disease or disorder. Ultimately the body has to heal itself! The only way that happens is if the nerve system is cleared out and the Innate expression of life can then be better expressed. At Selimo Chiropractic, located in the Parsippany area, we strongly believe that life and health come from within. We just assess the spine for subluxations and then deliver a force to the body which is transferred into an adustment. From there, every organ, cell and gland as well as all the muscles in the body are able to do what they were intended to do. Having said all of that, there has been some recent research regarding infants and colic. This study investigated toddlers who were helped for colic with chiropractic care compared to children who had not had chiropractic care. Since behavior and sleep disturbances (tantrums and frequent nocturnal waking) are often found in children who were colicky as babies this study looked at those conditions to see if chiropractic care had any long-term benefits. In the study 117 formerly colicky toddlers who received chiropractic care were compared to 111 formerly colicky toddlers who did not receive chiropractic care. Researchers found that the colicky toddlers who received chiropractic care were half as likely to experience temper tantrums and frequent nocturnal waking than those who did not receive chiropractic care as infants. What does all of this mean? The body heals itself and through the use of specific chiropractic adjustments, the bodies inborn wisdom can then be released allowing you to reach your full potential in life.

Chiropractic and The Common Cold

Ask any pure objective straight chiropractor what common cold has to do with chiropractic, and he will say "absolutely nothing - as chiropractors, we don't diagnose, treat or cure anything. The body always heals itself provided that there is no underlying pathology or interference to the nerve system". At Selimo Chiropractic, located in Whippany NJ, I also know that this is a very accurate statement as I too practice objective straight chiropractic. However, although all I do as a chiropractor is assess the spine for interferences to the nerve system and then assist the body in removing them, there are certain FACTS that cannot be denied. For instance, some people seem to think that chiropractic is just for backs! However, many people seeing chiropractors for back and neck problems find a general improvement in their life which includes fewer and less severe colds, flu and other respiratory problems. And, did you know, that breathing cold viruses does not in itself cause a cold? " Experimenters have incubated cold viruses, placed them directly on the mucous lining of the nose, and found that their subjects came down with colds only 12 percent of the time." The whole concept here is that for germs to grow in you, you must first be fertile soil. What does chiropractic have to do with this? Chiropractic doesn't treat the common cold. It does, however, help awaken your Innate Intelligence (inner healer) - the only cure, if there is going to be one!! Natural resistance is the only reason why your cold "goes away" rather than lasting for weeks, months or your entire lifetime! Chiropractic can help raise your natural resistance to disease by removing a serious interference to your proper body function: subluxations. (Subluxations) - are distortions in your body that interfere with your proper body function. In my office I check your spine to detect and locate subluxations in your nerve system and help correct them with specific chiropractic adjustments. This helps restore optimal body functioning for higher resistance to disease, which, we cannot overstate, is the best defense against common cold. In closing, there are numerous case histories of chronic cold and flu sufferers having fewer or NO COLDS after chiropractic care. In another study 92% of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease had improvement of their respiratory symptoms after spinal care. So, no we (chiropractors) don't treat disease, don't remove symptoms and don't cure anything. We just help the body to work at its highest level NATURALLY without the poisonous side affects of drugs and medications. Don't blame us if positive side effects occur as a result of PURE Chiropractic care. For that is not our intention!!

Does Leg Length Make a Difference?

People who show imbalances in leg length are less healthy.... At Selimo Chiropractic, a family oriented chiropractic office located in the Parsippany area, a common finding in people with subluxations is that one leg appears longer than the other. This is called leg-length inequality. The question is: Does it really matter? In a recent study, fifty-five volunteers were given the SF-12 health questionnaire which measures health related quality of life. The volunteers were then checked by a chiropractor for leg length alignment. The results were compared with their quality of life questionnaires. Those people with leg length differences had significantly lower scores on the quality of life questionnaire than those without leg length differences. Practice members with leg length differences experienced lower scores in the mental health and physical components. The mental component measured depression, stress and life satisfaction. At Selimo Chiropractic, we assist the body in balancing out the spine and structural system which brings your legs back into balance. This allows the Innate Intelligence (wisdom of the body) to be expressed more fully and, as result, greater life satisfaction. In closing, I would like to ask if you know anyone who has not had their spine checked for (VS)-vertebral subluxation, please tell them to call me at 973-668-8928 for a FREE consultation. Thank you and God Bless you. http://www.selimochiro.com/index.html

Chiropractic Improves Quality of Life in Homeless

Did you know that homeless people often have severe physical and emotional stresses, are chronically ill with a multitude of conditions, take numerous medications and make life choices based on survival rather than optimizing health. In a study reported in the April 15, 2005 Journal of Vertebral Subluxation Research, homeless patient's from a women's shelter underwent a short course in chiropractic. Their spines were then checked and adjusted. How well their body was expressing itself was also measured before and after having their spine checked and adjusted. The results: higher quality of life. Subjects reported improved physical function, improved general health, greater vitality and better emotional and mental health. 100% pure chiropractic can help all people realize better physical and emotional health, as well as a much greater life expression. Why? Because chiropractic helps your entire body, including your brain, function at a higher level. At Selimo Chiropractic, a chiropractic office serving the Parsippany area, I have experienced incredible changes in people's lives over and over again. The problem with our mindset in this country is people want to live life to the fullest, but, nobody wants to make the necessary sacrifices to reach that goal. So, get your spine and spines of those you care about checked today. Call for a FREE consultation today! 973-668-8928. Thanks and God Bless you. www.selimochiro.com

Germs Don't Cause Disease

I have a major story hot off the press! Its not based on gossip. There is NO monetary gain in sharing it. If you read it, absorb it and maybe even research it on your own, it will revolutionize the way you think about health, and LIFE! Are you ready? Ok......here it is!!! Germs don't cause disease! That's right! Now you don't have to walk around worrying what germ is going to attack and kill you tomorrow. It turns out that germs, such as bacteria and viri, are----Take a DEEP BREATH!!! EVERYWHERE!!!!!! In the breathe, the food we eat, the water we drink and everything we touch. You probably have influenza, tuberculosis, tetanus, staphylococcus and other germs in you all the time. Yet infections are relatively rare and most of the time most people are infection free. Feel better? You will!! Big question? Why isn't everyone sick all the time? Ready? Are you sitting down? Because there's more to getting sick then breathing or touching germs. Even in the worst epidemic, the majority of the population never gets sick!! Come on Dr. Pat!! Are you pulling my leg? UH....NO!!!! Turns out Professor Rene Dubos, one of the most influential scientists of the 20th century, rejected "germ equals disease" thinking. He said, "Viruses and bacteria are not the sole cause of infectious disease! THERE IS SOMETHING ELSE!!!" Let me ask you a serious question. If the germ theory were true, how come everyone during this so called "Flu SEASON" (now we have six seasons in America).....does not contract the deadly (joking) flu? What is that "something else?" I don't know if you can handle the truth. It says in the BIBLE, the TRUTH will set you free! So here it is! A malfunctioning body causing low resistance to disease becomes fertile ground for germs! A great way to improve resistance to disease and keep germs in their place is make your body function better by having your subluxations corrected at, Selimo Chiropractic of Whippany, so that the Innate wisdom of the body can express itself more optimally. Chiropractic care has been shown to improve your ability to fight infection and whether you or a loved one has an infection, diabetes, cancer, migraines, etc. does not matter. The bottom line is that health comes from within the body and so we need to do things that promote health from within so we can experience a greater level of health and more importantly LIFE. Just ask the other 60 million users of chiropractic! They can't all be wrong. Thanks. Don't forget to call for your FREE consultation today. 973-668-8928 God Bless You. http://www.selimochiro.com/index.html

Common Questions About Chiropractic

Did you know that Chiropractic is now the largest natural life enhancing art in the world, attracting everyone: office workers, movie stars, scientists, laborers, businessmen, medical doctors, homemakers, infants, elderly, professional athletes and "weekend warriors." As you read these words there are millions more people who have not had their spine checked and as a result are not experiencing the amazing benefits received from lifetime maintenance care. Albert Schweitzer once said " The greatest discovery of any generation is that human beings can alter their lives by altering their attitudes of mind". Lets look at some common questions asked about chiropractic: What does a chiropractor do? Chiropractors are specially trained to analyze your spine and structural system for vertebral subluxations. They then remove your subluxations using chiropractic "spinal adjustments" freeing you from structural distortions (subluxations) and nerve stress, allowing the body to work at an optimal level. Why should I go to a chiropractor? The goal of Selimo Chiropractic in Whippany, is to awaken the Innate intelligence of the body by correcting the vertebral subluxations. What if I'm under medical care? It really does not matter if your under medical care. In fact, I would strongly recommend you visit a medical doctor periodically because at Selimo Chiropractic, we don't do any blood work or perform any medical procedures. The whole idea is that you always need a healthy spine no matter what other type of care your receiving. You see, MDS and other professions cannot tell if you have subluxations and are not trained in correcting them. How much does it cost? At Selimo Chiropractic, we have a
"box on the wall" fee sytem. This system has been around for more than fifty years and is also known as a cooperative fee system. This method of payment allows you to pay as much as you can afford for you or your family to come in regularly (once a week) for as long as you want to be healthy! Do I have to keep coming back? The answer to this question is logical. When you find the answer to the question...."Do I want to add years to my life, and life to my years", then you will know how long you need to visit a chiropractor for. (PS)----the answer should be for the rest of my life! God Bless You. http://www.selimochiro.com/index.html

Checkups

You get your teeth, heart and blood pressure checked periodically but....what about your spine? A spinal checkup is one of the most important checkups or exams you and your family could ever have because all your organs, muscles and glands get a nerve supply from your spine. An unhealthy spine could affect your eyes, teeth, stomach, intestines, heart, lungs, kidneys, liver and even your brain! (And some people think chiropractic is just about back and neck pain.) A chiropractor is especially trained to check your spine (and those of your children) for areas of subluxation-nerve pressure. Subluxations are often painless; you may have one right now and not feel any pain in your spine - but other parts of your body may malfunction as a result. Subluxations can be especially dangerous in infants, babies and children. For that reason all children should see a chiropractor for periodic spinal checkups. Chiropractic isn't all your ever going to need to stay healthy, but a healthy nerve system will go a long way in enhancing the quality of your life and also extending your life. Come in or call for a FREE consultation, exam and adjustment. 973-668-8928. http://www.selimochiro.com/index.html

Cancer & Chiropractic

Although on normal occassions I would blog about something pertaining to enhancing your level of awareness with regards to chiropractic, I feel moved to go in a different direction today. You see, back in March, a practice member of mine asked if I would want to set up a booth at the relay for life "cancer walk". Well, being passionate about what I do and always eager to share chiropractic with the world, I jumped at the opportunity. When I showed up, I new right away this would be a great event. However, what I didn't realize was how impactful of a day it would be. First, my practice member Kassie and her husband Scott began to help me immediately set everything up. Around four o'clock a good friend of mine and Mayor of Parsippany kicked things off with a heart wrenching story about how he lost his brother to cancer when he was a kid (6 years old). Shortly after, all the cancer survivors began to walk around the track and received many heart felt applause. Now, you might not think this is such a big deal unless you know a cancer survivor. Nonetheless, I have never seen such an out pouring of love towards absolute strangers from people who know what its like to lose a loved one. The cancer survivors/walkers came from everywhere. I watched as I continued to check people's spines and share the amazing benefits of chiropractic care. This went on for about five hours. Around 9:00pm they had a votive lighting ceremony and another speaker was up at the microphone. She explained how her mom succumed to her battle with cancer and, how her dad was thrust into a Mr. mom position. My heart was wrenched again. Then the song "I will remember you" began to play as we all, (several hundred), walked around the big circle ladden with votives that contained the names of the victims whose lives were destroyed by cancer. Then it really hit me! My father finally lost his battle to prostate cancer last May 23, 2009. And as I walked around looking at those names, I realized that although I thought I was there to check spines, God had a bigger plan. My purpose for being there was to commemorate the one year anniversary of my dad's passing and share in this wonderful thing called "life" with my beautiful friends who have fought the cancer battle and won. God has blessed us with this beautiful thing called "life"! How will you use yours? You can start by sharing with others, in a "selfless act", your support for those who have battled this dreadful disease and won. When they walk past you, smile, clapp and show them that you care. Show them how much you love them and let them know you are there for them. Happy anniversary dad! I love you and miss you very much! It was an honor calling you Dad! Love Pat.

Parents are living longer than their children!!

Is it any wonder that American's health is so awful? Statistics say that soda, french fries, potato chips, hamburgers and chocolate make up 70% of the American diet. As a matter of fact the top ten selling products in grocery stores are: 1-marlboro cigarettes, 2-coke classic, 3-kraft macaroni and cheese, 4-pepsi, 5-diet coke, 6-budweiser beer, 7-cambell's soup, 8-tide detergent, 9-folgers coffee, 10-winston cigarettes. This is not good news! Partly as a result of the S.A.D. (Standard American Diet) and prescription and over-the-counter drug use (especially and including vaccinations), life expectancy in America is lower than many other developed countries. To be exact, we are 30th in life expectancy and, by the middle of this century the increased risk of diabetes, heart disease and cancer is estimated to lower the average life expectancy by 5 years. 67% of America's adults are obese and 30% of the U.S. children are. So, is there a solution to solving this insanity? One definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and over and over and over....and EXPECTING DIFFERENT RESULTS!!! Ever watch a dog chase his tail? How about a hamster on a hamster wheel? For some reason in the US--of--A, we have adopted this mindset that we can abuse our body as much as we deem necessary and, by the time we think about making life changing decisions regarding our health, we have already become pharmceutical pin cushions. Is that health? NO! Solution? First,what we need to do is to recognize that health comes from within. Second, we need to buy and eat real foods: Unprocessed, natural and organic. The more life in food, the more life it will give to you. Third, make sure the nerve system, which governs all human function, is free of subluxations (nerve interference). And last, recognize that its up to you! You are directly responsible for your own health and life and therefore you determine how healthy you will be. One other thing to remember: Chiropractic adds years to your life, and life to your years! http://www.selimochiro.com/index.html

Fever! Is it The Wonder Drug?

Did you know that fever is one of nature's most powerful infection fighting weapons? If it could be bottled and sold it would be a true "wonder drug!" Perhaps equally important, studies show that interfering with (lowering) a fever with drugs such acetaminophen (Tylenol) or aspirin (antipyretics) keeps people sick longer. In one study doctors gave half a group of patients flu aspirin while the other half were permitted to have a fever. The aspirin group with lowered fever stayed sick 31/2 days longer!! The paper concluded: "Antipyretics prolong illness in patients with influenza....The duration was significantly prolonged." In another study, researchers reported that lowering fever increased the death rate. It also stated that "there is no convincing evidence that naturally occurring fevers are harmful. In contrast, animal studies have shown that fever helps animals to survive an infection where as antipyretics (lowering fever) increases mortality. There is also considerable evidence that human immunological defenses function better at febrile (warmer) temperatures than at normal ones." In other words, you and your child can fight infection better when you have a fever!! Fever, is an expression of the Innate Intelligence of the body. When you are subluxated the nervous system chokes off this Innate expression which can result in ill health.

According to statistics:
-Most people don't have adequate health insurance.
-Drug costs for the elderly are skyrocketing and threatening the entire Medicare system.
-Drug research-Billion dollar industry, and drugs for the treatment of many diseases haven't been researched because its not cost effective.
Jerry Lewis has raised billions for the cure of MS. The result-no cure! The American Heart Association raises billions of dollars every year for heart research, the result:no cure! Also, no cures for cancer, diabetes, heart disease, alzheimers and parkinsons either despite billions spent. Yet, new diseases like AIDS and SARS keep popping up! Are we moving backwards? Its not the practice of medicine that is the problem. It is the false principle that we can take things from outside the body and correct all problems inside the body. Wrong!! Instead of finding cures to treat life threatening diseases, which does not work, we need to build health in people or find reasons why people are healthy. http://www.selimochiro.com/index.html

Chiropractic and Sports Injuries

What does Chiropractic have to do with sports related injuries? Well, in its purest form, absolutely nothing! However, there is something you should definetely know. Tiger Woods, Andy Roddick, Lance Armstrong and oodles of professional athletes in just about every sport, use chiropractic. Why? They achieve better balance, improved coordination, faster recovery from injury, prevention of injuries, more energy and strength, among other benefits-all without drugs! More professional athletes use chiropractic than ever before. The journal "Chiropractic Economics" reported that over 95% of teams in the NFL use chiropractors as a regular part of player care.
Barry Bonds, arguably one of the best all-time baseball players, had a personal Chiropractor who would travel to games with him. Bonds reportedly said, " I think it should be mandatory to see a chiropractor." Get your spine checked today!! Check out my website for more details. Sincerely, Dr. Pat

Chiropractors and Subluxations

A subluxation is a distortion in your body structure that causes damage to your spine, muscles, joints, nerves, discs and other tissues and organs. Whats worse is that subluxations interfere with your overall body function, your balance, energy level, healing ability and physical and mental well-being. Subluxations can occur at any age. Many even occur at birth due to the stress of delivery. Subluxations can result from falls, accidents, poor sleeping positions and overwork. Even emotional stress and environmental toxins can shock your body into developing subluxations.
At Selimo Chiropractic, we provide a wonderful service. We locate and correct (adjust) subluxations, removing stress from your body and mind, unleashing energy, restoring balance and permitting you to live your life closer to your physical and mental potential. When you have subluxations it's as if you are living life with the parking break on.
Do you have a subluxation in your body? Unless you are seeing a chiropractor for periodic checkups, the answer is probably yes. http://www.selimochiro.com/index.html
