The Safety Pin Method

Image
One of the simplest ways to understand chiropractic care is to look at a safety pin.  The large end represents your brain, and the smaller end represents a body part (i.e., your stomach or lungs).  The thin piece of metal represents the messages going from the brain. The other thin piece of metal represents the message from your body back to the brain. We all know that the brain communicates with every part of the body. As long as that message gets through freely, that body part will work.  There's A Problem With Safety Pins Even though the safety pins can hold a lot, they occasionally open up. When that happens, there is a disconnect within your body and possible pai n. Your nervous system works a lot like that safety pin. As long as the connection is intact, the brain controls and coordinates every function in the body. Unfortunately, like that safety pin, that message can be broken or interrupted.         In our bodies, the loss of that full connection can be devastating. This l

What Are Chelated Minerals?

  The human body uses trace minerals (iron, magnesium, and calcium, to name just a few) to convert food into energy used for thousands of processes essential to life. The body cannot produce trace minerals by itself. It is best to get minerals from fresh, homegrown, vine-ripened fruits and vegetables, but it is virtually impossible to get enough minerals from these sources. As a result, researchers have found that the process of chelation, whereby amino acids are attached to the minerals, makes them far more absorbable and thus available for the body to utilize. Ortho Molecular Products has created a chelation process for all their minerals sold under the "Reacted" label. These chelated minerals are easier to absorb and easier on your digestive system. The majority of unchelated minerals you consume are merely passing through your system.         Watch Liz from Ortho Molecular Products talk about the importance of chelated minerals in our video below.
