I am endlessly fascinated by the multi-dimensional aspects of every person’s health. As a chiropractic physician and Health awareness mentor I am continuously evaluating my patients health from many different perspectives. This week I had a very interesting conversation with a patient (actually these kind of conversations occur frequently). This is a female patient in her late twenties with a history of recurring health issues that have landed her in the emergency room many times in the last three years.
Multiple doctors and many tests have not been able to give a definitive diagnosis in most of these crises she has endured. Most the time she has had to just wait out the passing of her symptoms such as severe abdominal pain, strong headaches, constipation, and sinus pain.
I recently suggested she read the book “Eat Right 4 Your Blood Type” by Dr. Peter J.D’Adamo, www.dadamo.com/ and experiment with the diet recommendations for her specific blood type. (This is research I have embarked upon this past year which I have found to be very significant in many of my patients’ health status.)
Following my suggestions she started to eliminate a few: simple foods in her diet that according to her blood type where inflammatory to her digestive tract. In just two weeks she started noticing a significant improvement in her digestion, elimination, headaches and sinus problems and to her surprise had lost seven pounds. She admitted a profound difference in her health in an amazingly short period of time.
As we look at the true nature of health it is apparent that the nervous system, the circulatory system, the hormonal (endocrine) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endocrine_system system, the immune system, the digestive and elimination and our mental state are intimately and inextricably interrelated. No one doctor will have all the answers in all of these areas that is why specialization exists. My objective as a Health Awareness Mentor is to educate and empower individuals to take an honest and critical look at their own health.
Once this takes place you are more prepared to take action and explore the many options available to you to address any health concerns you have. I believe it is a universal law that no one will watch after your health and take care of you like you can take care of yourself. Obviously there are exceptions, but I am talking about the majority of us. I also believe as we learn to listen more carefully to what our bodies are telling us we will learn to recognize warning signs of approaching health problems.

The next step is to be courageous and choose not to ignore the warning signs so that we are able to address problems in the earlier and more manageable stages. This process puts each individual in much more control of their life and their health.

Chronic pain is very severe and this affects people's life, long known to people who suffered from a strange disease, were strong back pains, which were intense and not let them work, as was what they said were the doctor and he prescribed oxycodone for pain, but knew it was a very powerful medicine, and moreover, anxiolytics, and worry that they were doing things that previously did not like eating too much, smoking, etc, and read in findrxonline that this drug is well and that we must be very careful with their use, and everything must be under medical prescription.
