Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I wanted to take this time to let each of you know just how thankful I am for you. Without your presence and participation, Crossroads wouldn’t be the best chiropractic office in New Hampshire. Actually, we have only been officially voted the Best Chiropractor in the Capital Area… but YOU are the best chiropractic practice members on the planet!!!
Really though, thank you for being here. I know we think differently and can challenge the things you have been taught by your friends, doctors and even your parents.
For example, human illness is NOT caused by genes. We won’t let you simply blame the genes you inherited from your parents, although the popular press would have you do so. Human illness is caused by humans – we have been making poor decisions in a toxic world. 75% of all deaths in the United States are from chronic illness. Chronic illnesses are lifestyle diseases that are completely preventable if we live the way we were meant to… like our Paleolithic hunter-gatherer ancestors! If you have missed the Eat Well, Move Well, Think Well series this year, hang on to your hat and join us in February for our new lifestyle program!
We challenge you to think before you act. Don’t get the flu shot because that’s what everyone says to do… ask “why?” first. Investigate if it is really safe, effective and a smart thing to do. (I ask you… Is the flu dangerous enough to make it worth risking your life and health with vaccination?) Likewise, don’t vaccinate your children because it is what is expected of you. Investigate first! Why do 12 hour old newborns get the Hepatitis B Vaccine when Hepatitis B is contracted by sexual intercourse and IV drug use??? To become more informed on vaccines including the flu shot, go to http://www.mercola.com/ or http://www.nvic.org/.
Another challenging thought is “Lifetime Chiropractic Care.” Most people think only to get adjusted if/when they are in pain. But that’s only the tip of the iceberg as you have learned! While we don’t insist that you sign up for life, we hope that each year you continue to see the benefits of regular family chiropractic care. Boosted immune system, better short term memory, stress relief, straightened spine, curved neck, less arthritis, better digestion and breathing, less aches and pains, lower blood pressure (did you see that study on WebMD?), higher energy levels, better sleep, improved posture… need I go on?
I’m a lifer. I’ve been adjusted since age 7. Life itself causes subluxations – stress, sleep position, falls, sports, work. You name it. Subluxations stop the brain’s messages from getting to the body. Subluxations prevent us from functioning at our very best. Subluxations cause spine decay. But adjustments… they restore life.
I’m thankful for chiropractic. I’m thankful to be a chiropractor. And I am most thankful that you have chosen me to be your chiropractor. It is an honor and a privilege. Looking forward to a healthy, holiday season with you all. Be sure to mark your calendars for our 10th annual Holiday Patient Appreciation Day on Monday, December 20th!
With love and appreciation,
Dr. Stephanie
