<p>“Success leaves clues!”<br />
-unknown</p>
<p>Some of you may be thinking that it&#8217;s not possible to be healthy forever.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, I learned the hard way. But you don&#8217;t have to. You have people like me to help you achieve success quickly, effectively and easily.</p>
<p>And if you get stuck, I&#8217;ll be your coach!</p>
<p>My Story&#8230;<br />
I am often asked how I stay so healthy. “You must have great genes, or you<br />
must be really lucky,” people say.</p>
<p>I wish that were true&#8230; <span id="more-477"></span></p>
<p>My childhood and teenage years were a medical<br />
adventure to say the least.</p>
<p>I suffered from an average of 3-4 colds a year; 1 flu a year; 6 ear infections<br />
(with ten rounds of antibiotics and 3 ear surgeries) from age 4-7; stomach<br />
and intestinal illnesses every year; 2 cases of Tonsillitis; childhood back<br />
pain; leg (growing) pains; and seasonal allergies every spring and fall.</p>
<p>Then I hit early adulthood and added stomach ulcers, Irritable Bowel<br />
Syndrome and headaches to the mix.</p>
<p>In addition, I had high blood pressure in my early 20&#8242;s and a family history<br />
of heart disease and diabetes that scared the you know what out of me.<br />
Needless to say I have spent a lot of time in the waiting room of doctor<br />
offices and urgent care clinics my life.</p>
<p>The pattern of a 3-4 colds, annual flus, back pains, headaches, IBS and<br />
stomach ulcers continued until age 23.</p>
<p>I also have had 6 car accidents, 2 motor cycle accidents, and countless skiing<br />
and mountain biking falls. I have 3 surgical plates in my head from cracking<br />
my skull.</p>
<p>With all these injuries you&#8217;d think my body would be a wreck! But it&#8217;s not.<br />
The turning point for my health – and my life &#8211; happened when I was 23. I<br />
had just finished 5 years in the US Navy and was studying to eventually<br />
become an ER doctor at the University of California, Davis. I was working<br />
as a bartender putting my self through school.</p>
<p>It was a Friday afternoon on a cold December day and I had just finished a<br />
week of final examinations. I was preparing the bar for a busy holiday night.<br />
Customers were laughing and cheering. The holidays were right around the<br />
corner. Christmas music was playing on the radio.</p>
<p>I clearly remember lifting a large keg of beer from the top of the bar when I<br />
felt what I thought was a “knife” in my lower back. I dropped the keg in front of me then fell to<br />
the ground. I immediately reached around to feel what was wrong. But there<br />
was no knife, no holes and no cuts. “I must have pulled<br />
something bad” I thought to myself. I had never experienced so much pain.</p>
<p>My good friend Greg Kane was sitting at the bar having a drink. He helped<br />
me off the ground as I agonized in pain and said to me “you&#8217;re going to see<br />
my Chiropractor.” “No way” I said, “those guys are quacks!” He was 7 feet<br />
tall and I was helpless, so he drove me in to see my first chiropractor Dr. Sovinsky.</p>
<p>I figured it couldn&#8217;t hurt, and if I needed to I would go to the ER later and<br />
see a &#8216;real&#8217; doctor.</p>
<p>Two hours later &#8211; after getting a set of x-rays and one treatment from this<br />
chiropractor &#8211; I was beginning to feel some minor relief. So I agreed to continue<br />
seeing him for more treatments. To my surprise I was feeling significant relief after<br />
just one week of treatments.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the catch &#8211; the pain relief was NOT the only gift I received from seeing<br />
this doctor. The adjustments he was doing to my spine were also helping to relieve other problems in my body&#8230; Like my stomach pains and allergies.</p>
<p>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 &#8216;believe&#8217; in chiropractic, and I was unfortunate to have known a few of these types of doctors.</p>
<p>One day during a routine office visit I told him that I was unsure about his information and<br />
he responded with one of the most powerful questions I have ever heard.</p>
<p>He said &#8220;Jack, if you don&#8217;t believe in what I am teaching you now, can you at<br />
least suspend your disbelief long enough to see it working for you?&#8221;</p>
<p>He also did something even more powerful&#8230; he gave me some great books<br />
to read. The first book I read was Quantum Healing by Dr. Deepak Chopra MD.<br />
I was stunned. Dr. Chopra wrote about the power that humans have to heal<br />
themselves from any disease &#8211; even Cancer. I had never heard this<br />
information before in my life. Especially from a prominent medical doctor.</p>
<p>I had been to over 50 doctors in my life for my own health<br />
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.</p>
<p>So I searched for any information I could find about the power to be free<br />
from all disease. I read dozens of books and attended private seminars<br />
outside of my regular education. I traveled to doctors offices across the<br />
country (U.S.) to observe their methods and learn from their teachings. I<br />
was profoundly influenced and absolutely changed forever by these new<br />
discoveries.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>I had gone from taking regular allergy medications, anti-inflammatory<br />
medications, pain pills, stomach acid pills, IBS pills and cold medications to<br />
taking nothing but a few vitamins and supplements.</p>
<p>Flash forward 17+ years&#8230;<br />
I am now 41 years old and I have not been sick in 17 years. No medications, no antibiotics, nothing.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve only seen an MD one time in the last 17 years to<br />
have an X-ray for a skiing injury to my shoulder. (Which I healed using the<br />
methods from my book, naturally).</p>
<p>I never take for granted the things I have learned and the gifts I have<br />
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&#8230; Yet we all enjoy amazing health.</p>
<p>I am also grateful to be able to teach &#8211; or remind &#8211; people like you how to use<br />
this knowledge and power to become healthy forever.</p>
<p>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&#8217;ve done it myself.</p>
