About 20 years ago my friend Arno Burnier told me a story. He had a house built in Colorado. Unfortunately, the windows were situated in such a way the many birds did not see them and would fly right into them. The first time it happened, he ran outside to see what the sound was, and found a bird laying on the ground underneath the window. He picked the bird up, and as any great chiropractor would do, he adjusted the bird’s neck. The bird then flew away. This became a regular occurrence. Each time he would hear a bird crash into his window, he would run out and adjust it, and it would fly away.
Three weeks ago, I was at a seminar. One of the speakers was Arno’s son Boo. The cool thing is, he told the same story, all these years later. I got to hear it from a different point of view. This is what he said, “I was seven years old, and I knew that life and death depended on that adjustment. So when my dad was not home and I would hear the sound, I would go out and adjust the birds even though I didn’t really know what I was doing, and they would fly away.” Boo is now in chiropractic college, and I have no doubt that he will be a great chiropractor.
Understand that when you get your spine, particularly your upper neck adjusted, it turns on the power of life in you, too. This world will be a better place when every man, woman, and child gets adjusted on a regular basis. Thanks for reading this blog.

A Jump Off The Empire State Building
Living with subluxation is a lot like jumping off the Empire State Building. Why? Because every floor on the way down the guy who jumped keeps yelling “I’m still fine”. Similarly people can live with subluxations without any pain, health problems, or conditions. Eventually the guy who jumped hits the bottom, and of course, he is no longer fine. Similarly, the effects of living with subluxation may catch up with a person. Then, “all of a sudden” they “have a problem”.
When did the problem start for the guy who jumped? When he first hucked himself off the building. When a person first gets subluxated, that is when the problem starts. It may be days, weeks, months, and likely years before it becomes a noticeable problem. How much better it would be to take those regular adjustments throughout life from birth to death instead of waiting around to hit bottom.
It is sad to see the condition of so many people’s spines who come to my office seeking help. They are told idiotic things like, their spine has age appropriate degeneration. It is like they (the doctors) think it is normal to have a degenerated spine. In fact, it is common, but it is not normal. If those spines were taken care of throughout life, they would be less likely to have any signs of degeneration at all.
Think about people’s teeth. It used to be very common, maybe even described as “normal” for older people to lose all their teeth and have dentures. Now that people brush, floss, get braces, and see their dentists, it is becoming much less common to lose all one’s teeth. Was it really normal, or just due to a lack of proper care?
I long for the day when every new parent starts their baby out being checked and adjusted by a chiropractor. And then, continues that practice regularly throughout their life. It is one reason why we do not charge for anyone under 18 years of age. It means more to me than money to see our children grow up free of subluxation.
Are you with me? See you (and your kids) for your next routine visit to be checked for subluxation, and adjusted as needed.

I Want To Change The World
When I was a kid, the dentist would come to our school. He would bring a bunch of pink tablets for all us kids to chew. When we were done we would all have pink smiles. The dye from the tablets would show where we had plaque on our teeth. It was obvious that we all had plaque built up on our teeth. Even though none of us had a toothache, it became obvious that everyone single one of us kids needed to go to the dentist. And so dentistry changed. It was no longer just a practice where only people in severe pain would go get a rotten tooth extracted. Now people went to get their teeth cleaned and checked before they were in any pain at all.
Chiropractic needs to build the same awareness. It is a tragedy that every single child is not being checked and adjusted by a chiropractor in this day and age. If I had a dime for every adult who told me that they wish their parents brought them to a chiropractor when they were a kid, I’d have a lot of dimes!
I was in a pre-school yesterday speaking to about sixty 4, 5 and 6 year olds. They probably all go to a dentist, but sadly, very few go to a chiropractor. That is why I donate my free time to go to these schools and speak. Unfortunately, I can’t just have them chew some pink tablets that show where they are subluxated.
I did have a fantasy idea.
The day before I go to the school, send the kids home with a notice that says to send them to school with a bathing suit the next day. Then we have them line up with their backs to me and I spray them all with this special dye that only sticks to areas of the back where there are subluxations. Then they could go home and show their parents where their life channels are shut down.
We could send them information explaining what a subluxation is, and how it steals from anyone who has one. We could explain how once we adjust those subluxations, the child will be improved in all areas of life. They would learn that it is not about a back ache or a neck ache, it is about LIFE!
It will improve their overall health.
It will improve their ability to concentrate.
It will improve their athletic ability.
It will improve their ability to perform art.
It will improve their social interactions.
And as each child gets better, the world gets better.
Now I just need someone to come up with the formula for that special dye that sticks to areas that are subluxated.
You Are Unique!
If you let the world define you, then you will not live the life that was divinely given to you. Remember that you are unique and have your own gifts. The following video demonstrates this idea better than I can tell you with just words. When you have 20 minutes, watch it, I promise you, it will change your life.
