Dr Josh weighs in…
If you haven’t read parts 1-4, this conclusion will definitely seem out of sync, so I encourage you to go back and start there.
It’s been a number of years that this practice member has been utilizing chiropractic care; and over that time you are now witness to the written words of a woman with a lot on her life plate (let’s face it, who doesn’t in our overburdened and pressuring society). That being said, this is a story of determination, of standing against a mainstream model of sick-care habits, prescriptions, and un-natural outcome driven intentions.
This is someone I have seen through thick and thin, the ups and downs, and someone who has incurred a lot of stressors over her lifetime (and it’s not a long one either), and has battled through them WITHOUT drugs, as little surgery as possible, and in my expert opinion, keeps fighting the good fight.
Over out doctor-patient relationship timeline, there has been a lot of communication; questions about avoiding medication, or seeking the best possible options to fight/manage/prevent dis-ease and health challenges; the best moments I can share about these interactions, are the emails that share enormous positive health changes. Whether avoiding surgeries, recovering faster from injuries, or being able to think more clearly and face the world more comfortably after certain adjustments, I praise this amazing person for perseverance in a world that has suggested she turn the other way (into medications, procedures, and just living with whatever the challenge may be).
I have had several tearful moments after sincere shares and thanks (all the thanks goes into the self-healing body) for adjustments. All because of connections, moments, and the right adjustments delivered at the right time, to allow the proper expression of innate health.
There were certainly moments of interaction where anxiety outweighed positivity; anxiousness outweighed patience; suffering clouded the ability to relax. But they are all insignificant in the bigger picture, as I recognize someone who continues to buck the trends, pave the way for her better health naturally, and seek options that suit her, and not those that diagnose her.
I have nothing but respect, admiration, and a sense of pride in the author’s ongoing efforts, and do my very best to support them.
So, when you encounter yourself or someone you know stuck in a rut, following the advice of health professionals who don’t seem to have the best interest of the person in mind, ask “is there something more out there I can do for my health – naturally?”.
Until the next adventurous story,
Dr Josh
