How To Kick ‘Hope Management’ Of Your Health To The Curb

By | September 20, 2016

In today’s modern past paced society, health tends to be one of those things that people don’t necessarily value… until that is, it is no longer there!

Even if people say they do value health, they may talk a good game, but follow their actions and that will give you the real story.

The challenge somewhat lies in the way people gauge their health. What I find as I read through the hundreds of entrance forms each month that people fill out as they enter our wellness center is that the vast majority judge how well they are by how they feel. And I can’t blame them; after all we all want to feel great. What many don’t realise though is that only less than 10{0ad59209ba3ce7f48e71d4a0dc628eee9b107ea7079661ded2b3bda89b047a8b} of our nervous system perceives pain. How we feel is a by product of how we are functioning, yet most of us focus only on the tip of the iceberg – how we feel (the 10{0ad59209ba3ce7f48e71d4a0dc628eee9b107ea7079661ded2b3bda89b047a8b}) and not on what lies beneath – how we are functioning which makes up 90{0ad59209ba3ce7f48e71d4a0dc628eee9b107ea7079661ded2b3bda89b047a8b} of the story.

The consequence of this is that despite the amazing advances in medical technology and drug therapy we are the sickest generation to have lived. Over the past decades each year our average age of death increased for both males and females, until a few years ago that was. Now our life expectancy is decreasing. What this tells me is that the advances in medical intervention wasn’t actually extending our lives, but rather prolonging our death. Those final years on the planet, the people’s quality of life was probably not what they considered thriving, but just surviving.

A classic scenario is the person who feels fine, their GP gives them clean bill of health and the next day they drop dead of a heart attack. This is the first symptom that there was even a problem for 40{0ad59209ba3ce7f48e71d4a0dc628eee9b107ea7079661ded2b3bda89b047a8b} of people who get a heart attack – they are at their own funeral. Upon autopsy it is revealed that they had a ‘clogged’ artery. It is commonly know that we seldom feel a clogged artery.

So it doesn’t make a lot of sense to follow this Pain-Problem Paradigm – in other words wait until there is pain to know there is a problem, then do something about it (or even worse mask the body’s attempt to let you know there is a problem by taking a ‘pain-killer’). Some just ignore the problem all together using what I call ‘Hope Management’. That is, just hope it goes away.

The way of the future is the Power-Problem Paradigm. It is well known by reputable health care professionals that the brain via the nervous system supplies the power to all the cells, tissues, organs and other systems of the body.

If there is an interruption in this power supply, it can be a direct or indirect cause of virtually any health challenge in the body. The nervous systems role is to control and co-ordinate all body functions, keeping them working in harmony. It makes our heart beat 100, 000 times per day without us even having to think about it. Our nervous system directs the immune system to relate us to our environment through its defenses and the nervous system helps us deal with life’s stresses. That’s why we get the feeling like ‘something or someone is getting on my nerves’ when the stress we can comfortably handle is above our threshold.

Think about how the power supply works in our house. If there is too much ‘stress’ on the system, rather than causing the whole house to burn down, there is a fuse box that regulates the power. It makes more sense to ‘blow’ a fuse than to lose the whole house. Our bodies work much the same. If we are experiencing too much stress in our system through physical (car accidents, slips/falls, sporting injuries, poor posture, birth process), chemical (toxins, food additives, medications) or emotional (work, finances, relationships, road rage) the vertebrae in our spine are like a fuse that can ‘flip’ and help our nervous system deal with the stress in the short term. If the stress is great enough or it remains for a sustained period of time, the spine will now adopt this misalignment as ‘normal’. In other words the misaligned vertebrae causes the poor posture.

Here is the interesting thing – remember we spoke about power. We learnt that the power that keeps you healthy, energetic and functioning well courses through the nervous system. So the impact that the misaligned spine has on your health can be significant. “But surely I would know if I have a misalignment in my spine causing poor health” you might say! Well if you judge by how you feel and there is no pain or symptoms you may be led to believe you are fine. Yet now you know that the way we feel is only 10{0ad59209ba3ce7f48e71d4a0dc628eee9b107ea7079661ded2b3bda89b047a8b} of the picture.

The fact is most people have not had the power that runs there body checked to ensure it is proving 100{0ad59209ba3ce7f48e71d4a0dc628eee9b107ea7079661ded2b3bda89b047a8b} nerve supply to gain 100{0ad59209ba3ce7f48e71d4a0dc628eee9b107ea7079661ded2b3bda89b047a8b} function. The principles of healing at Body Brilliant and with Wellness Chiropractors all over the world are twofold – firstly check to see the alignment of the spine and accurately gauge if there is pressure on your power supply. Secondly, identify, reduce or ideally eliminate the stressors in your life so that they don’t continue to reduce your power supply.

People who follow this Power-Problem Paradigm get to the cause of their problems quickly, safely and effectively that allows them to experience their peak health and life potential. It is a vast difference to the Pain-Problem Paradigm whereby people use drugs and surgery to temporarily mask the pain, and often lead to further ‘side effects’.

I am a big believer in ‘horses for courses’. Drugs and surgery used at the right time in crisis care are ultimately life-saving. The challenge is that the crisis in 95{0ad59209ba3ce7f48e71d4a0dc628eee9b107ea7079661ded2b3bda89b047a8b} of cases would not have been necessary if some time had been invested into their health while they still had it. But, not every person is prepared to take the time or responsibility to follow the Power-Problem Paradigm. It is not a case of just showing up and saying “here I am doc – fix me!” The meaning of the word doctor is ‘to teach’, not write prescriptions. The health professional you choose to be on your team to help you achieve optimal health should be empowering and educating you on how you can prevent yourself from becoming a statistic.
This is true prevention.
