systems (respiratory/lungs, digestion, and urinary) shut down. Once compromised, the brainstem can no longer regulate your bodily processes normally. How quickly and to what severity is dependent upon the nature of the trauma and how significant an effect it has on your brainstem. In Reeve’s case, the effects were immediate and severe. I represent most people that undergo
the “normal” physical traumas. I still dam- aged my brainstem, but the effects were more gradual and took longer to develop; it was years later that I was miserable. For every symptom, there is a cause.
The Upper Cervical Practitioner that I saw identified that my brainstem had been traumatized – quite significantly, in fact – using thermography to assess the amount of inflammation that ensued from the dam- age. If the brainstem becomes irritated, then the surrounding tissues become inflamed. He said to me definitively, “Your brainstem being irritated causes your digestive system to work too slow or too fast while also dis- rupting the connection between the brain and brainstem, affecting your attention/ focus.” No one had ever told me anything definitively before about my conditions. Using specific x-ray analysis, he found
that I had lost the alignment between my skull and top vertebra, causing the sur-
rounding muscles to adapt to that incorrect positioning. Once the foundation was off, the rest of my body compensated for it. One shoulder dropped down and one hip pulled up, drawing that attached leg short, causing me to be in pain daily for years. The com- pensation would have lead to other struc- tural problems over time, had I not gotten it corrected. I was very impressed with the checks
and balances that the doctor used. He used thermography to assess the inflammation; once the correction was made, he used thermography again to make sure that the inflammation had cleared. He then re- evaluated my leg lengths to verify that the once short leg had drawn even with the other. This came after he had me rest in a comfortable, quiet room for a long while after the re-alignment procedure. The cor- rection itself was non-invasive; there was no uncomfortable pulling or twisting on my body or head and neck. I lay there on my side and he made the correction according to the x-ray analysis.
One of the most important things that
I’ve taken from my experience with Upper Cervical Care is a realization that doctors don't heal people; people heal themselves. That’s not a latest and greatest theory, but a natural law of life. Doctors are merely fa-
cilitators. Having run the gamut of health care paradigms, I can honestly say that, while very few doctors actually facilitate healing, Upper Cervical Practitioners do (by removing a fundamental blockage that prevents your body from normal healing and a foundational problem that prevents your body from being structurally bal- anced). When you lose your health, you start
dictating your life around your condition. It changes you, affects your judgment, your happiness, your relationships, and your motivation. Several years have now passed since I overcame my conditions. I am lucky to have gotten my health back and I made a vow that I would make sure that as few people would have to go through what I did as possible. That’s why I became an Upper Cervical Practitioner and why I opened the Triad Upper Cervical Clinic – to help people in my hometown and surrounding areas to learn and heal and experience what I have. Health is not game; it’s not a science
project…get your life back through Upper Cervical Care.
