We all want to know the truth about everything. We start out needing to be told the truth. And as a child, it is difficult to tell what is true and what is false. We might instinctually feel something is wrong, but we can’t usually articulate it at that age. As time goes on and we are fed falsehoods, imposter thoughts and feelings can develop and mislead us. We begin to make choices and create our lives based on these falsehoods. It’s hard to get a grip on life while walking in a fog of confusion and ungrounded information. And healthcare is a big area of confusion. So here is an example of some of the truth that will guide you out of the imposter mindset.
The truth is, to have a literal, actual grip on life, your hands must have strong opponents pollicis and brachioradialis muscles. Your brain tells these muscles to grab and hold a pencil, your shoes, your purse, your shoestrings, your socks, a comb, and your job application so you can get a grip on life—even when you just want to grab a bat and go after all the disruptions in your way!
The nerves that control these get-a-grip-on-life muscles in your hand come from the neck, starting at the second cervical vertebra and going down to the first and second vertebrae of our dorsal spine in the upper back. These nerves also control the pectoralis clavicular and neck flexor muscles. These muscles give you that Innate ability to dodge the sticks and stones thrown at you, and those thoughts that cause you to be “stiff-necked.” Your latissimus dorsi and the middle and lower trapezius muscles that are holding your head up and your shoulders back give you the strength and controlled posture to forge ahead—a posture of confidence to get the job done.
The truth is, the life we want to get a grip on and live is dependent upon our ability to grip the foods that feed, fuel, and fertilize the Life Force that empowers each and every cell in our body. We must have a grip on our knife, fork, and spoon to feed ourselves properly. Food is deconstructed, mixed with salivary enzymes from the parotid glands, and released to our stomach as raw building material. The parotid, stomach, spleen, and pancreas are Innately created and coordinated and controlled by the nervous system.
The function of our stomach, spleen, and pancreas is negatively impacted when spinal misalignments (subluxations) impair and alter our brain’s ability to regulate digestive functions. Also, emotions of worry, hopelessness, lack of control, despair, disgust, low self-esteem, poor me attitude, and anxiety directly affect stomach digestive activity. These feelings then have a downstream effect on the muscles and nerves related to these digestive organs. These signs and symptoms can be temporarily relieved by medications, but do not correct the cause of the symptoms of disrupted digestive control.
The truth is, you can’t build something when the essential blueprint and materials are not available.
Dr Royal Lee stated:
“The healing of wounds has been one of the mysteries of medical science. What stimulates the need for repair and what stops the repair after it has completed its task? The cause of the cessation of growth appears to be the formation of antibodies, known as Natural Tissue Antibodies, which are formed in opposition to the growth of an organ or tissue beyond the needs of the body. The cause of the acceleration of growth appears to be specific growth factors, protomorphogens, which are called upon when the needs of the body are increased.”
from An Introduction to Protomorphology 1956
In the Chiropractic text, Neurodynamics of the Vertebral Subluxation, by A. E. Homewood, Lee references research in 1958 by H. Kamieth, quoted in the Journal of the American Medical Association: “The percentile distribution of right-sided and left-sided scolioses coincided with the percentages of duodenal and gastric ulcers.”
When your stomach, spleen, and pancreas are in disarray and not functioning at 100%, the need for neurologic, metabolic/nutritional, and structural repair is heightened. Many signs and symptoms will be expressed. Your nervous system, digestive system, and emotional neuropeptide system must work together and be engaged equally in function to activate healing and restoration.
The truth is, we can get a grip on the causes of health. Utilize the wellness and preventative benefits of chiropractic spinal adjustments to keep your spine and nervous system healthy and free from pressure and pain, so it functions at 100%.
Standard Process produces nutritional support for your parotid glands, stomach, spleen, and pancreas:
- Parotid PMG for healthy salivary function.
- Zypan, for stomach digestion, also aids in calcium and iron absorption, and aids the pancreas in its metabolic functions involved with digestion.
Spleen PMG helps to mitigate allergic reactions, inflammation, and loss of the good intestinal flora caused by antibiotic use. - Paraplex supports healthy pancreatic function to metabolize carbohydrates.
Let’s become grounded in the Truths of Health. Only those truths can sort out the imposter thoughts and beliefs that lead to a loss of wellness. Reach out with a strong grip of confidence in your ability to live in health.
