Thirst for Thought
On Thursday of last week, journalists around the world were happily reporting on a 16-year-old Haitian girl who had survived many days under an immense pile of rubble created by the devastating January 12th earthquake. She had been isolated in the concrete cavity for 15 days. After being rescued, doctors reported that she was very happy but extremely dehydrated. The brave young woman certainly owes her life to the relentless rescue team. However, if it was not for the bath water that provided Darlene Etienne with a few small drinks, the story might have ended sadly.
The tragedy in Haiti is causing many people to evaluate their own mortality and be thankful for their health and safety. For the 16-year-old girl rescued from the rubble, the difference between life and death was a sip or two of dirty bath water. Most of us are aware of the nourishment that water provides to our bodies; it is the lifeblood that keeps our cells, organs and tissues functioning with success. Yet many of us take for granted the fact that a gulp of healthy, revitalizing water is as close as the nearest faucet. Instead, we choose to drink coffee in the morning, soda with lunch and milk with dinner. We even elect to give our children sippycups filled with sugary juices instead of pure and refreshing water.
Availability of drinkable water is actually a significant global issue. While 70% of the earth’s surface is covered by water, only 3% is fresh water, and only 1% is considered drinkable. Not only is water in shorter supply than we might think, but it also plays a significant role in human mortality each year. A 2006 study indicated that approximately 1.1 billion people lack proper drinking water and that waterborne disease accounts for approximately 1.8 million deaths per year. The leading cause of death among children is dehydration from diarrhea caused by waterborne disease. We can be very thankful that we live in an area so blessed with abundant, drinkable water.
Our bodies crave water; at infancy our bodies are comprised of approximately 80% water and that percentage drops slightly to 70% when we reach adulthood. Scientific evidence regarding how much water we should be drinking is surprisingly sparse. Human needs for water depend upon climate, activity and diet. What is clear is that you should drink enough water so that you are urinating at least 4 times per day and the color of your urine should be light yellow. For most adult males this amounts to 2-3 liters per day, and for women it amounts to 1-2 liters per day. Many people have the misconception that when they drink beverages such as soda, tea and coffee, it counts towards their daily water quota. The truth is that, while these beverages do contain a lot of water, they also contain caffeine, which acts as a diuretic, causing the body to lose total body water and become dehydrated.
One of the reasons why water is so important to our bodies is that it can help reduce the concentration of toxins traveling around in the bloodstream. What happens when sensitive organs, such as your eyes, are exposed to a harmful chemical? The first thing you will do is to rinse your eyes out with water. Why is this? Because the solution to pollution is dilution! Toxins are pollutants in your body and have the capability of causing a lot of damage. When we drink proper amounts of water, we dilute the toxins in our bloodstream and help flush out the dangerous particles. 
A lot of people find water unappealing to the taste buds, and the fact that they have to consume so much (up to 100 oz of water per day depending on your weight) causes many to avoid the task altogether. Instead of ignoring our body’s request for a rinsing, there are things we can do to make drinking water easier and more appealing:
· Add lemon to the liquid for a refreshing citrus kick.
· Keep your water in a larger vessel so you do not have to go for a fill up so often.
· Write notes to remind yourself to refill your refreshment.
· Avoid other beverages options; do not even keep them in the house!
Drinking water is one of the easiest, cheapest and most important things we can do to better our health and function. The tragedy in Haiti reminds many of us of how fortunate we are to have easy access to clean and safe drinking water. So don’t waste any more time. Go to the faucet and pour yourself a cool glass of crisp, refreshing water and enjoy. Cheers!

The Million Dollar Adjustment
What is “The Million Dollar Adjustment”?
Some of you may have experienced “The Million Dollar Adjustment”, or maybe even several, in the course of your care. I may have even told you that you were about to receive one of these rare creatures. But what exactly is “The Million Dollar Adjustment”? It is an adjustment that suddenly changes a condition that you have been suffering with for a long time, or maybe it is a series of adjustments over a period of time that dramatically changes your condition and your life.
Perhaps you had suffered with chronic headaches, back pain, shoulder pain, fatigue or any number of other symptoms, and an adjustment(s) suddenly altered your situation. It could be that you had to live with pain, take drugs continually or were told by the “experts” that you would simply have to live with your condition, and an adjustment(s) changed that. Well, that is “The Million Dollar Adjustment”. We call it that because it so dramatically brings a person back to healthy, drug-free and pain-free living and that is a very valuable thing!
Sometimes a person has debilitating pain and an adjustment or two dramatically changes, reduces or eliminates the pain and they all but jump off the treatment table. That, too, is “The Million Dollar Adjustment”.
Sometimes it can take time for “The Million Dollar Adjustment” to work its magic and eventually the person’s immune, digestive or reproductive system starts to function as it was supposed to. We have patients who could not conceive, in spite of all medical treatment, but who became pregnant under chiropractic care. We have patients with chronic acid reflux, with asthma, with chronic skin conditions, migraine headaches, etc., and even these folks’ health changed in remarkable ways.
Before you start wondering at my conceit for taking all the credit for what happens with people, I want you to know the secret behind “The Million Dollar Adjustment”. The secret is that you have an innate (inborn) intelligence in your body that actually does the healing and sometimes all that is required is to release that natural healing power. The job of the chiropractor (My job) is to help free the flow of this intelligence and then the body simply performs the miracle of healing itself.
The greatest satisfaction that I have in doing the work that I do is seeing people change and doing so without fancy machines or poisonous pills. I have the distinct privilege of being able to deliver an adjustment and then sit back and watch as the body does its thing. It is still startling to me how quickly a person can “come around”, even when they have suffered mightily and for a long time. That, to me, is what “The Million Dollar Adjustment” is all about. Hopefully you have experienced one and, if not, then keep your mind open to the possibility: amazing things happen when you free the animating force in the body.
If you have experienced “The Million Dollar Adjustment” in our clinic then we would love to hear your story. Write to Nikki in our clinic via email at npotter@chirohealthwellness.com.

Making Your Goals on Purpose
As I near my graduation date, I am reminded of the importance of goal setting. Goal setting has been an integral part of my life through all levels of studies and athletic endeavors, and as I have experienced life, the depth and breadth of my goals has changed dramatically. As the quality and nature of my goals changed (winning first place at the conference track meet to creating study strategies for learning the nerves of the human body) I realized that they were really rungs on a ladder to my higher Purpose, the self I wanted to create and the world I wanted to influence around me.
Goals and Purpose are not one and the same- your goals should reflect and strengthen your Purpose, and your Purpose should inspire your goals. If you are looking to define your life purpose to inspire your goals for success, start reading! Albert E. N. Gray, who has passed away, served as an official of the Prudential Insurance Company of America and became an influential writer and speaker in the insurance world. He has inspired and challenged me with his words and thoughts. I wanted to share some of his insights on success, goals, and Purpose with you.
The secret of success of every man who has ever been successful—lies in the fact that he formed the habit of doing things that failures don’t like to do. It is true, and just as simple as it sounds. This particular tenet, though not popular, particularly with people who are not succeeding as well as they would like, has stood the test of time and is almost universally true.
So what is it that failures don’t like to do?: The same thing that successful men don’t like to do, but successful men do it anyway. But if successful men don’t like to do these things, then why do they do them? Because by doing the things they don’t like to do, they accomplish the things they want to accomplish. Successful men are influenced by the desire for pleasing results.
Why are successful men able to do things they don’t like to do while failures are not? Because successful men have a purpose strong enough to make them form the habit of doing things they don’t like to do in order to accomplish the Purpose they want to accomplish.
But what happens when I’m in a slump? Even the most successful men get in a slump. When it happens it simply means that he has reached a point at which, for the time being, the things he doesn’t like to do become more important than his Purpose. Regroup, get centered, recall your Purpose and remember why your goals and hard work are important.
Before you decide to adopt these success habits, please strongly consider the importance of habit to your decision. Any resolution or decision you make is simply a promise to yourself, which isn’t worth anything unless you have formed the habit of making it and keeping it. Any resolution or decision you make today has to be made and kept again tomorrow, and the next day, and the next, and the next, and so on.
When habits are made you become the master of yourself and master of your likes and dislikes by surrendering to your Purpose in life. That is why behind every success there must be a Purpose. But as long as you live you will never succeed beyond the Purpose to which you are willing to surrender.
Live with Purpose–

THE GERMS ARE COMING!!!
To read media accounts relating to H1N1 and seasonal flu one would certainly come to the conclusion that we are under microbial attack. It is implied in these accounts that if you are prudent you may somehow avoid exposure to the bulk of these disease-causing germs. The truth is that germs are everywhere, and I mean everywhere. Not only are they everywhere, but they are present in such large concentrations that to think that you can avoid them is about as foolish as thinking that if you run fast you can avoid being hit by rain drops in a torrential downpour- it is simply not possible.
The good news is that germs are nothing new to us- they were some of the earliest inhabitants of earth and we grew up with them, in an evolutionary sense. They live on our skin and in our digestive tract. It is estimated that in your gut alone there are over 100 trillion organisms. We are literally swimming in a sea of bacteria, fungi, and single-celled organisms, and yet we usually manage to get along with each other just fine, and even have a mutually beneficial relationship most of the time. As with all ecosystems, our relationship with germs is a delicate balancing act- sometimes conditions favor certain of them and sometimes it favors us, the host. What is important to understand is that we are part of the same ecosystem and depend on each other. To think that we can eradicate them is utter folly, and is not in our long-term best interests anyway.
There are times when they get the upper hand and it is wonderful that we have such things as antibiotics to keep them from killing us outright. However, to broaden this emergency measure and think that the solution to germs is to kill them all off, simply will not work. Our feeble attempts to tilt the balance in our favor by wide-spread and excessive antibiotic and antiseptic use has mostly served to accelerate the evolution of these organisms and has made them much more powerful foes. What we have to do is accept that we are linked through our evolutionary history and accept that, like living with your in-laws, sometimes you just have to make the best of it. Your real job, especially during this time of year, is to make sure that your body is strong and balanced and thus a poor breeding-ground for germs.
Here are some things that you can do during cold and flu season to keep your immune system strong:
1. Avoid sugar and processed foods-these things weaken your immune system.
2. Get plenty of rest. A well-rested body is a strong body.
3. Find ways to reduce stress. Chronic stress weakens cellular immunity.
4. Eat a balanced diet. This is one of your most powerful weapons against disease and infection.
5. Exercise regularly. Vigorous exercise has been shown to have a stimulating effect on the immune system.
6. Take vitamin D-3, especially if you are not getting any sun exposure during the winter. D-3 has a very potent impact on immune function. Talk to your doctor on dosage.
7. Take probiotic supplements. 80% of your immune system surrounds your gut and caring for your gut ecology will help you fight disease-causing microbes.
8. Get adjusted regularly- chiropractic adjustments reduce stress and stimulate immune function.
9. Wash your hands, but use good, old-fashioned soap and warm water. It can’t hurt to limit exposure because maybe you aren’t perfect at all of the other measures above.
It is, of course, a tragedy when anyone succumbs to the flu or other infectious disease, but I think all of us should remain calm and simply do what we can to fortify ourselves from the inside. That strategy has always been, and still is, our best assurance of staying healthy. I am confident that when the dust settles on the H1N1 issue we will look back and find that it was scarcely more severe or virulent than the regular, seasonal flu. Not that either flu strain should be taken lightly, but it is important to keep things in perspective, especially when the media is in the middle of a feeding frenzy and the pharmaceutical companies stand to make billions- something to ponder.
Be Healthy,
Tim Fargo D.C.
Rolling the dice…….on your health!
I recently took my husband on a trip to Las Vegas, Nevada to celebrate his 30th birthday. We relaxed at the pool (it was still 80 degrees in Vegas, a nice change from the weather we had been experiencing in Minnesota), saw a couple shows and dined at some fabulous restaurants. Before we left, my husband insisted we spend some time at the Blackjack tables. I do not fancy myself a gambler; I went to the Casino when I turned 18 and cashed in after 
winning $20 on the nickel slots. My husband, however, likes to press his luck every once in awhile in the hopes of winning big. Like many of the millions of Americans who visit Vegas every year, we came out in the red. I fussed at my husband, “Why would you risk losing our hard-earned money? Don’t you know that statistics show we are more likely to lose than win? Why would you want to take that chance?”
I thought about Vegas today as I sat down to write this blog. Most people recognize that gambling – whether it is at the Casino or betting on a sports team – is likely to result in money lost. Some people choose to take the risk, while others simply stay out of the game. When it comes to their health, however, most Americans are gambling with something more important than money; they are risking their lives.
Chances are that you, or someone you care about, gambles everyday with unhealthy lifestyle habits including: a poor diet, a lack of exercise, too many over-the-counter or prescription medications, too much stress and not enough sleep. Leading research proves that these lifestyle habits lead to obesity, heart disease, cancer and diabetes- the four leading causes of death in the United States. While there is a chance that a person can lead this type of lifestyle and not develop health problems, it is the exception and not the rule. Just as I told my husband in Vegas, there is a possibility that you will beat the odds, but why take the chance?
It is easy to prevent illness and injury by simply developing healthier habits. Instead of stopping at McDonalds for an Egg McMuffin, or skipping breakfast all together, grab a piece of fruit or a protein shake in the morning. When you go to a restaurant, share a meal with your dinner companion or pack half of your meal in a to-go container for lunch the next day. Drink more water and less sugary beverages. Start exercising everyday, even if it is just for 15 minutes. Take time to de-stress in the evenings: read a book or take a bubble bath. If you experience pain or soreness, get checked by a Chiropractor instead of just masking the symptoms with dangerous, over-the-counter medications.
Our health is what we make of it. When we gamble with our money, we must be prepared to lose it. When we gamble with our health, we have to assume the same outcome. Why take the chance?

Is your body a “Giving Tree”?
Most of us are familiar with the classic Shel Siverstein book The Giving Tree. For those of you who are not, it’s the story of a relationship between a boy and his d
ear friend who happens to be a tree. As the boy grows older his needs change, and the tree always finds a way to help the boy. When the boy needed money, the tree gave him apples to sell. When the boy needed a house, the tree gave him her branches so he could build a house. And when the boy was old and lonely and wanted to get away, the tree gave him her trunk to build a boat. The tree gave and gave until all that was left of her was a small stump for the old man to rest on.
The relationship between the boy and the tree is much like the relationship that we have with our bodies. When we are born, our bodies have all the components we need to get us through life. It gives and gives to us each day to get us through life. As we get older, our needs, like the boy’s, continually change and we put more and more demands on our body to provide for us. This begs the question, if we are not willing to give back to our bodies, what will we be left with in the long run?
When you put fuel into your body, are you providing it with the appropriate nutrition it needs to grow healthy and strong? Are you giving your body the building blocks for optimal health, or are you casually filling it with calories it cannot functionally use, which in turn becomes detrimental to its overall wellbeing? In order for your body to give to you each day the way it was made to, you need to fill it with the foods that it was actually designed to consume.
Are you taking the time to give your body the physical activity it needs to reduce the overall stress level on the system and keep it physically strong? Do you strengthen your body so that it can in turn be strong for you when you need it to do work for you? If you want your body to withstand the everyday stress you put on it, you have to give back to it through the physical activity it needs.
Do you take the time to build healthy relationships and find things that make you mentally healthy? The body responds to mental stress the same way it does to chemical and physical stress. Are you adding to your overall stress by being in situations that create unhappiness in your life, or do you actively seek to put yourself in jobs, activities, situations and relationships that nourish you.
Our bodies are something that can easily be taken for granted as we get up each day and go about our business, assuming that they will provide for us each day like they have in the past. Take a moment each day to remember that like the tree, the body is actually giving and giving and giving to us, and it needs a little something in return. It may not need to be a grand gesture, but just think how much our bodies might appreciate it if we just tried to do one thing each day to give back a little. Giving back just may ensure that in the long run, your body may be more like the big beautiful tree in the beginning of the story rather than the stump the boy is left with in the end.

9 Steps to Post-Workout Recovery
So, you have finally dragged yourself to the gym; you eked out more sit-ups, push-ups, and miles today than you have in the past 5 years, and now you are exhausted, but you want to keep up your new workout regimen. Recovery after exercise is essential to muscle and tissue repair and strength building. A muscle needs anywhere from 24-48 hours after a workout to repair and rebuild, especially after a strength workout. If recovery is not taken, a muscle simply will start to break down instead of build. Here are 9 ways to make the most of your recovery hours that will keep the muscle soreness at a minimum, boost your energy level, and make your fitness goals a reality:
1. Rest. Rest is one of the best ways to heal from illness, injury, and even from a tough workout. So, kick off your shoes, sit back, or tuck yourself in early, and let your natural healing mechanisms take over.
2. Cool Down. After you workout, allow your body 5-10 minutes of a low intensity walk or jog. This allows the body time to rid itself of the excess lactic acid that built up in your muscles during your sweat session, decreasing potential muscle soreness and stiffness.
3. Replace fluids. Drink water before, during and after a workout. Water is your body’s most important nutrient, is involved in every bodily function, and makes up 70- 75% of your total body weight. Water helps you to maintain body temperature, metabolize body fat, aids in digestion, lubricates and cushions organs, transports nutrients, and flushes toxins from your body. Reducing water in the body by as little as 5% can result in as much as a 20-30% drop in your physical performance, 10% reduction can make you sick, and 20% can be fatal.
4. Stretch it out. Gentle stretching after a workout can significantly decrease post workout soreness and stiffness.
5. Eat smart. After depleting your body during your grueling workout, you need to eat properly to give your body the energy to recover, rebuild tissues, gain strength and be ready for the next challenge. Lean meats, fresh veggies and fruits, and eggs are great choices.
6. Get a massage. Call your neighborhood massage therapist (Amanda and Courtney at CHWC), recruit a friend, or exchange a massage with a workout partner for muscle work that is sure to improve circulation (helps to move the built-up lactic acid out of the muscles) and enhance relaxation. You can also try a foam roller. Foam rollers are an inexpensive way to release tight muscle fascia and muscle adhesions.
7. Active recovery/Cross Training. During your recovery hours or on your “off” day, try cross training. For example, if you are a runner, you may use both biking and swimming each week to improve your overall aerobic capacity, build overall muscle strength and reduce the chance of an overuse injury. Cross training limits the stress that occurs on a specific muscle group because different activities use muscles in slightly different ways.
8. Ice, Ice Baby. 10-20 minutes of ice therapy 2-3 times a day, such as ice baths, ice packs, or ice cups, enables the body to recover quickly, reduce muscle soreness, and prevent injury. Some athletes like to alternate ice and heat; repeated constriction and dilation of the blood vessels helps to flush out or remove waste products from the tissues.
9. Work out smarter, not harder. Take the time to plan your workouts for the week or for the month. If you can alternate intense workouts with intermediate workouts, you can avoid the perils and risks of overtraining. Excessive exercise, heavy training at every workout, and lack of rest days can actually slow your progression toward your fitness goals and inhibit your recovery.
Happy and Speedy Recovery!

The Polar Bear
This is a story of a polar bear in a zoo in Colorado. The zoo decided they wanted to create the greatest polar bear exhibit anyone had ever seen. It was
Polar Bear
going to have water and rocks and was going to attract attention from all over the world. Soon after the decision they started construction. While construction was underway they picked up a polar bear cub from another zoo. Since the display wasn’t finished the cub was in a smaller, temporary restraining cage. As construction went on the cub was growing. As they put water in the pond the cub was growing. Eventually it wasn’t a cub anymore- it was a full grown bear. It was entirely too large for the cage it was in and all it could do was just pace about. Because of its size, it could only take a couple steps to the left and a couple steps to the right- it was really restricted. The project that was scheduled to take one year took nine before it was completed, but the good news was that eventually he would get his new home. When the day came that construction was finished everybody came from all over. They were excited to see what would happen and nobody anticipated the results. They let the bear go in the middle of this huge area. He had opportunity all around him, but all he was willing to do was take a few steps to the left and a few steps to the right. In his mind he was still in that box.
The reason I tell you this story is that many of us are just like that polar bear- you are stuck in a box of self-limiting beliefs. You have opportunity all around you to reach new levels of health and success and yet you may be limited by habits and beliefs that are invisible to you.
Your health is the result of the choices you have made. WHERE YOU ARE TODAY IS A RESULT OF THE CHOICES YOU MADE YESTERDAY. Every decision you make today is going to determine your health future.
We, at Chiropractic Health and Wellness Center, want to help you out of that box. As a WELLNESS clinic, this is what we do. We have the greatest job in the world. Every day we help people just like you get the most out of their lives and experience life to the fullest. We do this by helping you improve your health and using the amazing healing power of the body.

The Old Lady Knew a Thing or Two
Martha Washington, the first first lady of these United States, knew something about adversity. Though her husband, George, was one of the largest land owners and wealthiest men in the Colonies they endured many trials together when giving birth to our nation. He suffered horrible defeats, at least in the beginning, and it was far from certain that the Colonists would prevail against the overwhelming might of the British. There was, at times, no money to pay the mostly poorly trained troops. While our newly elected representatives bickered, men died by the thousands (sound familiar?). Desertion, disease, and death were a constant companion, and General Washington carried all of this on his shoulders because he was the man in charge. As today, with military families whose loved ones fight on far-flung battle fields, one can only imagine the pain and anxiety of the families back home.
Martha was General Washington’s “rock”- a constant correspondent and support for him during the war years and then during his years in office. I came across a Martha Washington quote recently that I thought very appropriate for the challenging times that we live in. “I am determined to be cheerful and happy in whatever situation I may find myself. For I have learned that the greater part of our misery or unhappiness is determined not by our circumstances but by our disposition”.
I think it a brilliant observation and, like all truths, it echoes through time as if the bell were just rung yesterday. Many of us have challenges, some more now than ever. While it is true that times may be difficult, what really defines us is the way that we respond, and it is the only thing that we really have full control over. It was true in the 1700’s and it is just as true today. You can simply admit defeat and skulk around, or you can take a hard look at how you can be more effective, more causative in the circumstances you face. It is amazing, and quite a powerful exercise, to look at your greatest challenge and to write down a list of things that might be done to solve it or lessen its impact. Then simply pick the easiest thing on the list and start doing it. You will, I predict, feel immediately better.
In all challenges lie the seeds of greatness, because when you come through the other side you will have new skills, and new confidence in your abilities. Remember too that it is your attitude about the task and the difficulty that mostly will determine the outcome. Strange as it may sound, approaching problems with a light-hearted attitude and with a “Spirit of Play” will get you much further than being grumpy. In the end, if the whole thing goes to hell and you fail in this current battle you will have at least had a few laughs along the way. My wife will be thrilled to hear me say this because now she will hold me to my own words. In writing these words I have to admit that I am not an expert in their application. Rather, I aspire to do better at making my own life and the lives of those around me, happier, less stressful and more fulfilled.
Let’s just enjoy the process of creating the kind of lives we want and strike a blow for Martha by maintaining a positive “disposition”.
Yours in Health,
Tim Fargo D.C.
