My Story: Becoming Healthy Forever

“Success leaves clues!”
-unknown

Some of you may be thinking that it’s not possible to be healthy forever.

I can understand why you may feel that way because I used to think the same way and it took some work and time for me to allow this new way of believing.

Unfortunately, I learned the hard way. But you don’t have to. You have people like me to help you achieve success quickly, effectively and easily.

And if you get stuck, I’ll be your coach!

My Story…
I am often asked how I stay so healthy. “You must have great genes, or you
must be really lucky,” people say.

I wish that were true… My childhood and teenage years were a medical
adventure to say the least.

I suffered from an average of 3-4 colds a year; 1 flu a year; 6 ear infections
(with ten rounds of antibiotics and 3 ear surgeries) from age 4-7; stomach
and intestinal illnesses every year; 2 cases of Tonsillitis; childhood back
pain; leg (growing) pains; and seasonal allergies every spring and fall.

Then I hit early adulthood and added stomach ulcers, Irritable Bowel
Syndrome and headaches to the mix.

In addition, I had high blood pressure in my early 20’s and a family history
of heart disease and diabetes that scared the you know what out of me.
Needless to say I have spent a lot of time in the waiting room of doctor
offices and urgent care clinics my life.

The pattern of a 3-4 colds, annual flus, back pains, headaches, IBS and
stomach ulcers continued until age 23.

I also have had 6 car accidents, 2 motor cycle accidents, and countless skiing
and mountain biking falls. I have 3 surgical plates in my head from cracking
my skull.

With all these injuries you’d think my body would be a wreck! But it’s not.
The turning point for my health – and my life – happened when I was 23. I
had just finished 5 years in the US Navy and was studying to eventually
become an ER doctor at the University of California, Davis. I was working
as a bartender putting my self through school.

It was a Friday afternoon on a cold December day and I had just finished a
week of final examinations. I was preparing the bar for a busy holiday night.
Customers were laughing and cheering. The holidays were right around the
corner. Christmas music was playing on the radio.

I clearly remember lifting a large keg of beer from the top of the bar when I
felt what I thought was a “knife” in my lower back. I dropped the keg in front of me then fell to
the ground. I immediately reached around to feel what was wrong. But there
was no knife, no holes and no cuts. “I must have pulled
something bad” I thought to myself. I had never experienced so much pain.

My good friend Greg Kane was sitting at the bar having a drink. He helped
me off the ground as I agonized in pain and said to me “you’re going to see
my Chiropractor.” “No way” I said, “those guys are quacks!” He was 7 feet
tall and I was helpless, so he drove me in to see my first chiropractor Dr. Sovinsky.

I figured it couldn’t hurt, and if I needed to I would go to the ER later and
see a ‘real’ doctor.

Two hours later – after getting a set of x-rays and one treatment from this
chiropractor – I was beginning to feel some minor relief. So I agreed to continue
seeing him for more treatments. To my surprise I was feeling significant relief after
just one week of treatments.

Here’s the catch – the pain relief was NOT the only gift I received from seeing
this doctor. The adjustments he was doing to my spine were also helping to relieve other problems in my body… Like my stomach pains and allergies.

But to tell you the truth, the real treasure was to come from the teachings that he offered in the weeks to follow. And to be quite honest, I was not a very good student. He was a chiropractor and I had some preconditioned disbelief.  It seems that quite a few medical doctors do not ‘believe’ in chiropractic, and I was unfortunate to have known a few of these types of doctors.

One day during a routine office visit I told him that I was unsure about his information and
he responded with one of the most powerful questions I have ever heard.

He said “Jack, if you don’t believe in what I am teaching you now, can you at
least suspend your disbelief long enough to see it working for you?”

He also did something even more powerful… he gave me some great books
to read. The first book I read was Quantum Healing by Dr. Deepak Chopra MD.
I was stunned. Dr. Chopra wrote about the power that humans have to heal
themselves from any disease – even Cancer. I had never heard this
information before in my life. Especially from a prominent medical doctor.

I had been to over 50 doctors in my life for my own health
problems, I was doing my undergraduate work with the intention of eventually becoming an ER doctor or surgeon, and I was working as a volunteer in a busy medical hospital. Yet I had never heard anything like this before.

So I searched for any information I could find about the power to be free
from all disease. I read dozens of books and attended private seminars
outside of my regular education. I traveled to doctors offices across the
country (U.S.) to observe their methods and learn from their teachings. I
was profoundly influenced and absolutely changed forever by these new
discoveries.

This was how I discovered the Secret to being healthy forever! Six months after discovering these Secrets I had no more allergies, no more stomach pain, no more headaches, no more back pain, no more IBS, no more high blood pressure and no more common colds or flus.

I had gone from taking regular allergy medications, anti-inflammatory
medications, pain pills, stomach acid pills, IBS pills and cold medications to
taking nothing but a few vitamins and supplements.

Flash forward 17+ years…
I am now 41 years old and I have not been sick in 17 years. No medications,
no colds. Nothing. I’ve only seen an MD one time in the last 17 years to
have an X-ray for a skiing injury to my shoulder. (Which I healed using the
methods from my book, naturally).

I never take for granted the things I have learned and the gifts I have
received. I really appreciate knowing what I know and sharing this knowledge with people that I love. Especially for my own family. My two kids Mina (9) and Skye(7) never get sick and have never been to a Doctors office. And they are un-vaccinated and have never taken medicines. And we have traveled frequently and been around plenty of people with illnesses… Yet we all enjoy amazing health.

I am also grateful to be able to teach – or remind – people like you how to use
this knowledge and power to become healthy forever.

So can you do it? Can you go from being sick to being part of the New Healthy? Even if you are really sick? Yes you can. And I know you can because I’ve done it myself.
