Imagine what would happen

Below is an article that I received from a fellow Doctor of Chiropractic this past week, I shared this with my team in the office and after the week of discussion on it I felt compelled to pay it forward--can you imagine if society become more selfless and less selfish, focused on what these "uneducated" (and really we are) animals (who is the real animal here) did, how great the world WILL (because it has to be, on my watch I am going to do my share and then some) BE!!!

As my dear friend Gary Ryan Blair says, "Everything Counts!"

Read-read again-print it-share it and just imagine the possibilities--make this part of your "IT!!"

Always on your side-- Dr. Lyle :)

The Introduction from

Wisdom of Wolves

by Twyman Towery

The attitude of the wolf can be summed up simply: it is a constant visualization of success. The collective wisdom of wolves has been progressively programmed into their genetic makeup throughout the centuries. Wolves have mastered the technique of focusing their energies toward the activities that will lead to the accomplishment of their goals.

Wolves do not aimlessly run around their intended victims, yipping and yapping. They have a strategic plan and execute it through constant communication. When the moment of truth arrives, each understands his role and understands exactly what the pack expects of him.

The wolf does not depend on luck. The cohesion, teamwork and training of the pack determines whether the pack lives or dies.

There is a silly maxim in some organizations that everyone, to be a valuable member, must aspire to be the leader. This is personified by the misguided CEO who says he only hires people who say they want to take his job. Evidently, this is supposed to ensure that the person has ambition, courage, spunk, honesty, drive - whatever. In reality, it is simply a contrived situation, with the interviewee jumping through the boss's hoops. It sends warnings of competition and one-upmanship throughout the organization rather than signals of cooperation, teamwork and loyalty.

Everyone does not strive to be the leader in the wolf pack. Some are consummate hunters or caregivers or jokesters, but each seems to gravitate to the role he does best. This is not to say there are not challenges to authority, position and status - there are. But each wolf's role begins emerging from playtime as a pup and refines itself through the rest of its years. The wolf's attitude is always based upon the question, "What is best for the pack?" This is in marked contrast to us humans, who will often sabotage our organizations, families or businesses, if we do not get what we want.

Wolves are seldom truly threatened by other animals. By constantly engaging their senses and skills, they are practically unassailable. They are masters of planning for the moment of opportunity to present itself, and when it does, they are ready to act.

Because of training, preparation, planning, communication and a preference for action, the wolf's expectation is always to be victorious. While in actuality this is true only 10 percent of the time or less, the wolf's attitude is always that success will come-and it does.

Its the connection!!

So this past week at EPOC--what is EPOC??? Well you might say it is an organization that I have been honored to organize and run here in Nebraska--started by a dear friend of mine Dr. Troy Dukowitz in St. Louis--a fellow Doctor of Chiropractic that I would go to the trenches with any day!!!

It stands for EpiCenter of Chiropractic/Educating Public On ChiropracTIC--we meet one time per month to share as Doctors of ChiropracTIC--who love to serve our communities.

Okay back to where I started, our guest this past week was Dennis Perman, DC, a mentor of mine, who I have not seen in 3 years--too long!! The minute I met him at the airport it was like we just spoke yesterday--the connection we made in 1999 was just as strong and if not stronger!!

I have had the opportunity to listen to Dr. Perman for years, and it was awesome this past week, my ears were fresh-my heart was warmed and the fire of why I do this thing called ChiropractTIC (known as TIC from here on!!) just became this unstoppable inferno!!

I have been given the opportunity to BE the TIC for years, and I desire and cannot wait for more--because I love serving YOU!!

But here is the deal--we as leaders, Doctors of ChiropracTIC, moms, dads, etc have to BEcome better leaders, we have to BEcome a better version of us. We all say I will BE happy when I have _______ (that's the blank you fill in with what you think)--and this is sooooo wrong--we have BE that thing or what I call the IT first and then the have comes--as Dr. Perman spoke of this last week it created my intention far greater than it already is.

You see there are only two things in this world: 1) Things you can control and 2) Things you cannot control--and humanity spends so much time worrying on things you cannot--here is a hint: work on the things you can--and let's do this--why not take a sheet of paper, on one side write down all of your strengths you possess and on the other side, oh crap--write down all of your weaknesses---and this is what happens--BAM your BE occurs and the HAVE follows!!

Here is a flow I have received from Dr. Perman and Dr. Markson--BE-do-HAVE!!! Develop the BE, do the do, and you can HAVE anything you want--it's pretty simple its called the Law of Attraction!! Just take action.

Take some time and work on this--find the tools that YOU can use that will help you (see the bottom of this for a starter--really!!) and your life can change--when I started the TIC versus now, it has changed!! I enjoy helping you "feel" better, I truly do, but more than ever I LOVE helping you BE better--to create the LIFESTYLE you so richly deserve--that is what develops euphoria for me--it is my IT!!

You can only grow as great as your weaker areas permit--find, ferret out the weakest areas of your life, you see, you work them you grow--as Dr. Perman (and I love ya dude) says, "pleasure lives in your strengths, but growth occurs in your weakness, choose to grow."

Something WE are bringing to YOU--March 25, 2010, thru my friendship with Dr. Perman, I created another friendship with Gary Ryan Blair, "The Goals Guy," the author of the best seller "Everything Counts," yours truly wrote the forward and he is here for you from 9 am- 1pm--for only $75--ya gotta be nuts to miss it--here is the link:

Check it out!!

Thank you for allowing me to BE a part of your life--and watch out--its only going to get better!!

Dr. Lyle!!

Time to Change the Paradigm!!

So this great friend of mine Dr. Eric Plasker, author of the best selling book, The 100 Year Lifestyle Workout, once told me stand 100 times more for what you believe in and thats it!! And I love that statement as does my family.

With that in mind on Wednesday of this past week a fellow Doctor of Chiropractic and friend of mine was interviewed on Channel 3 (local CBS affiliate) about Chiropractic and Bedwetting. Even more courageous was stepping out into the crosshairs as a Chiropractor, but the family even more so--you and your child are on my hero board and I honor you for what you did in the public eye. Even cooler, the excitement that mom and dad showed for their child getting their life back with drugs and their direct effects!!!

Dr. Weaklend was awesome and was very professional in his tone and how he discussed this situation, way cool dude.

BUT--AND THEN--YEP--it happened, the TV station interviewed a local md, and wow was she a great representative of health and well-being. Once I got over the terrible external posture-yes I said posture, holy cow it was terrible, and then just her whole demeanor--ick!!

But--what really hacked me off, this young child and family received positive results without chemicals (which by the way are not tested--you'll see) or the "shock" or tingle pad--which sets an alarm off if it detects moisture--wow what does that due to someone!! She went on to give her moronic opinion about a profession she knows ABSOLUTELY NOTHING ABOUT!!!

She went on the say pop-snap-crack, and that should never happen--NO SH**!! What Doctors of Chiropractic do you ding dong is we deliver specific Chiropractic adjustments to restore maximum joint function, which restores healthier nerve integrity so that body can function better--duh, you see we promote THE EXPRESSION OF LIFE!!! OH WAIT, that might be to deep for you to handle!! (Sorry a little bitter here--been brewing on this all week) And then she said, you will love this, it should never hurt the child--ahhh, I am so glad you said that, what about when you JAM- that needle into the child--does that hurt--or how about this stuff you *%#@*!!!:

1) Allopaths-(Drug Dispensers)-md's who treat children often prescribe drugs for off-label uses because little information is available from well-controlled studies on dosage, formulation, effectives and SAFETY in children. (American Family Physician, August 1, 2003)

2) Three-fourths of the prescription drugs on the market DO NOT have labeling instructions for children, leaving their use for children to physicians discretion( or luck). (JAMA, 2006:296:1266-1273)

3) Almost 80% of hospitalized children get drugs that are NOT approved for pediatric use. Using drugs that have been insufficiently studied in children has contributed to adverse outcomes, which have been documented in the medical literature (REALLY!!) (Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine March 2007)

4) 73% of off-label uses lacked evidence of clinical efficacy. The greatest disparity between supported and unsupported off-label uses was found among prescriptions for psychiatric treatment usage (4% strong support vs. 96% limited or NO support) and allergies (11% support vs. 89% limited or NO support.) (Archives Intern Med. 2006;166:1021-1026)

5) The incidence of preventable Adverse Drug Reactions (ADR's) is similar to that found in adult literature. Over 50% of the reported ADR's resulted in treatment intervention and/or temporary patient harm. (Drug Safety 2004;27(11):819-29)

6) In hospitals, medical errors are responsible for the DEATHS of nearly 4,500 children in the United States EVERY YEAR!!! "The bottom line is that none of these events should have happened," said Dr. Marlene R. Miller, the study's lead author and Director of Quality and Safety Initiatives at the John's Hopkins Children's Center in Baltimore. (BMJ 2004;328:1458 19 June)

7) A recent review of all studies concerning the reasons for pediatric hospitalzation (children under the age of 19) found that 2.09% of all pediatric hospitalizations were caused by adverse drug reactions and that 39% of these were life-threatening. (British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology Jul 2001; 52: 77-83)

8) There were 3.8 million children under the age of 19 hospitalized in the United States in 1997. This means that in one year, there are 79,000 children (2.09% x 3.8 million children) admitted to the hospital because of adverse drug reactions; 31,000 of these children having life-threatening adverse reactions. (Pediatrics June 2003; 111: 1358-1366).

Okay, I am not saying do not have medical intervention or drug therapy, my point here is simple, we had a family that achieved positive results, a Doctor of Chiropractic who helped a family, but yet another health professional, with ABSOLUTELY NO UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT WE DO, let alone any formal education in Chiropractic, have to give their opinion. What would happen to the allopathic profession if the media started to ask those "outside" of their little circle opinions on what they do--have a great answer, they would be furious--saying they do not have the training to do so. But yet they feel the need to share theirs--hey look in your own house, you got issues!!! Lots of them--and they are getting worse because you are starting to get questioned on what you do, and I know, because I hear and you don't like it!!

It's simple, in order for US--yes US, the health profession are to change the "system" its time to stop thinking of it as ME, but its about THEM--humanity, because that is what IT is all about, it is our responsibility to leave the world a better place that which we started. And our way can be by promoting health and well-being, stop suppressing life, but lets allow it to EXPRESS to its fullest potential.

One thing I can say for my profession, we put ourselves out there to be challenged, and our PRACTICE MEMBERS do too, thank you, we love ya--I truly do, my staff does so too!!

The Doctor of Chiropractic who stepped up and did this interview way to go, will stand tall with you any day, and family, I HONOR YOU and truly from my heart--THANK YOU!!

Make Life Happen--TODAY!!

Dr. Lyle

Give It a Break!!

So this past week we had an "emergency meeting" for Doctors of Chiropractic--ya sometimes never know what these may bring and to be honest I really did not want to go--but like all good husbands I listened to my wife and went. As I sent there listening, I could not stay quiet long--so here goes.

For years the allopathic/medical profession has said we, the Chiropractic profession, did not "work"--of course I would like "them" to describe what that means!! If that means that we are not responsible for approximately 780,000 deaths per year, outrageous medical expenditures, the reason that health care is rising like crazy, creating the "frenzy" of political stuff, and sorry, the "BS" that is said--you know--"x-rays showed a pulled muscle--take these drugs!!--yea that will work" (just an example)--I guess what I am saying about the "BS" saying what they need to say to protect their poor self esteem and elevate their egos!!

Okay--enuf on that rampage!! But here is the deal, in Nebraska, the Physical Therapy (PT) profession, to condense and take out the political mumbo-jumbo, wants to do what we--the Chiropractic Profession--does!! They are literally trying to sneak a law through, pay a ton of cash to the powers that be and even say if they don't get the law passed it will hurt their accreditation!!! But wait a minute--YOU--YES YOU the profession has said the Chiropractic profession did not work---so if it does not, then why do YOU want it!!! Of course, remember my definition of work!!!

So as I sat there, I wondered why in the world would this profession want to do what I do--they don't have the training, they surely have NO PHILOSOPHY in what they do--oh wait a minute--MONEY--let me make this simple--MONEY!! You see, unfortunately the downfall of allopathy or has it has become ALLOPATHETIC, has fallen into the trap of who cares, lets just line our pockets!!

Pretty simple, a couple of things will not happen on MY watch--ONE: I will not allow MY beloved profession of Chiropractic to fall away from what is most important--the health and well-being of YOU, my practice member!! and TWO: I will not allow our Philosophy to slip---you see there is a reason the legends of MY profession did what they did--they loved humanity--and I do too and want the future to talk about what we did for the profession and humanity--what is RIGHT!!
