Squidoo - a new lens

I hope ya'll check out our newest web presence on Squidoo. This is yet another way to help more people find out about chiropractic care for children...and hopefully get some more traffic to our web home.
Our own video about ChiroKiddos is being created as I type. Who knew our kitchen would become a movie production studio!?!

Atlas & Axis finally arrive and head to Nashville, TN


They arrived!! The ChiroKiddos are here now. Click on the website and go to the ChiroKiddos tab and order a pair.
Last week Atlas and Axis made their first trip south of the Mason-Dixon line to Music City, USA. It was a lovely occasion to see the greenest state in the land of the free, relax at the Opryland resort, and eat breakfast at Waffle House.
The "Tribute to BJ Palmer" weekend was another fantastic event for me and my family. The ChiroKiddos were very well received by students and doctors alike. Several dolls were purchased and many contacts were made. Thanks to Dr. Ray Drury, Dr. Thad Vuagniaux, Billy Doherty, and all the people at UCHCA for an incredible conference.
I learned a ton of info. from the speakers. My wife and I were especially impressed with Dr. Julie Mayer Hunt from Clearwater, Florida. Her presentation was a moving and extremely emotional experience for the whole audience. I was deeply impressed (even more than before) about children's need for specific scientific chiropractic care. Thanks Dr. Hunt for your interest in ChiroKiddos, but we are even more grateful for your commitment to bringing health and hope to children! If you live anywhere near Clearwater, Florida you must make the effort to get to know Dr. Julie and her father. Their clinic's website has a great mission statement, which ends like this:
"...
Mayer Chiropractic is dedicated to spreading health and wellness throughout our community ... beginning with children."

The Revolution in Healthcare

How's it going with you today? Things here at ChiroKiddos are slowing progressing. Sometimes I feel like the order which comes down from on high is: Hurry Up...and Wait! Our first order of dolls entered the USA over the weekend and should be in our hot little hands very soon!
The upcoming revolution in health care in this country will be focused more on prevention and wellness. The allopathic model of disease-focused management, risky drug therapies, and expensive surgeries has continually failed our citizens. BUT, there is a better way!! We can actually correct the cause instead of just treat the symptoms. You can join us at the forefront of this revolution by helping get the message about chiropractic wellness broadcast from coast to coast. Every child deserves a full and healthy life.
I have some great news about the upcoming annual conference of the ICA Pediatric Council
Dr. Larkin of Palmer College is headed for Australia to attend the meetings and she has promised to distribute ChiroKiddos business cards and brochures! I hope she is able to spread the word about this unique teaching tool to hundreds of Pediatric Doctors. Putting a pair of ChiroKiddos in your office is both FUN for the kids and FUNctional for Chiropractors as we revolutionize the mindset of our next generation.
You can order yours directly from the CK website...BTW, our logo and website was designed by twenty-nine 11 studios.
My wife and children will be putting the finishing touches on the CK dolls this week, hopefully completing assembly before our trip to Nashville for the Upper Cervical Evolution--a tribute to B.J. Palmer.

Family Wellness Care Growing Market

I've noticed many wonderful Chiropractors have virtually ignored family and pediatric care...not necessarily because they don't care about children's health, but maybe they don't know how to go about doing it. This ChiroWeb article is a brief introduction to the growth of family wellness and pediatric chiropractic. Click on this link to learn more about how you can educate and entertain children in your practice. There are a number of other sites mentioned in the ChiroWeb article, including national organizations committed to training DCs in this vital growing aspect of our profession.

Amazing Unforgettable Entrepreneur

I have a fantastic story to tell today. My wife of nearly 16 years is the love of life. But she is also a great friend/companion/homemaker/housewife/mother/home educator/inventor/entrepreneur. She is AMAZING! Sometimes, to my peril, I've forgotten or ignored her greatness. It has been a timely and much needed reminder to all of us just how great she is becoming.
Risk often brings fear and worry into our lives, yet this is probably a healthy thing b/c it makes us evaluate our purpose in life. We can chose how we respond to life. Winners (eagles) will rise up to a challenge and jump forward toward greatness. Their keen vision and clear goals allow them to dive headlong from the death-defying heights of the skies precisely aimed at their target. This risk is necessary for success. Their dreams will only be achieved by flying. The entrepreneur is unlike everyone else.
Let me contrast eagles with most of the people I've met. The majority (chickens) stay close to home, squawk about their problems, cower in fear, peck around in the dirt, and quit when the going gets tough. They never realize their dreams and may even avoid thinking about the world outside of their cage. Perhaps a family member or teacher or spouse or boss stole away their dreams. Fears and self doubts rule over the majority, shackling them to low expectations.
Over our years together as husband and wife I have seen my wife shrink back from many new things. She felt forgettable and average...but that was the past. We have a different plan now. 2008 is the year we do new things instead of talk about them. 2008 is a new phase of growth and risk. 2008 will be amazing.
This last weekend at Palmer Destination Success left no doubts in anyone's mind that she is unforgettable! Many of my friends and colleagues got to see a new side of her and they were amazed. When I handed one of her great new ChiroKiddos business cards to one of the "student leaders" at Palmer he was dumbfounded. He didn't know what to say. She shared her vision for the company - helping Chiropractors take the BIG IDEA of Chiropractic to children and their families - and he looked puzzled. She explained the critical importance of having children's spines checked and adjusted so they can grow and develop properly, yet this normally intelligent young man couldn't wrap his mind around it. Even after my children explained what the Atlas and Axis ChiroKiddos did to help DCs help kids learn about how the body works, he still looked stupefied. Finally we walked away to talk to some other people. Only later on that evening did we realize what happened. He was afraid. Our new idea was intimidating to him. His small view of what students and their spouses can accomplish was blown away and he couldn't process the data. I LOVED IT!!!
My wife is creative. She invented a phenomenal teaching tool to propel her vision that every child needs specific chiropractic care (and the earlier the better). And then she had the audacity and courage to form a company to promote her ideals. ChiroKiddos was born and delivered at the Fountainhead of Chiropractic. She doesn't fit inside the box of mediocrity. She is an eagle, not a chicken. Most people will never understand...but some of you out there get it and we ask you to join us on a grand adventure.
Thanks to Jennifer Lease (for coming all the way from AZ to help), Patrick and Jackie Newhouse (for being ChiroKiddos ambassadors all day long), Roger Duda and Andy Gibson (computers), Dwight Bailey (for the vendor space), and my children (the original ChiroKiddos for all their help).

Healthy Spines + Healthy Habits = Healthy Kids

-- ChiroKiddos exists to help Chiropractors bring the BIG IDEA of health and wellness to children and their families. We believe that every child deserves to live a full and healthy life.
-- Since the brain and nerves control every function of the body (immune system, endocrine and hormone activity, tissue growth, repair and wound healing, strength and coordination, learning and memory development, special senses, plus all the internal organ systems), it is imperative to maintain a healthy nervous system. This is especially important during the rapid growth periods children experience...from birth through the teenage years.
-- The spinal column houses and protects the brain stem and spinal cord. When the spine is not properly aligned it will often impair nervous system function, leading to reduced nerve signals, loss of health, diminished immune function, and decreased ability to adapt to stress. Traumas, toxins, poor posture, emotional stress, and "just being a kid" can injure the supporting tissues of the spine allowing misalignments to occur. A child often develops a vertebral subluxation complex (VSC) without the parents even knowing it.
-- The VSC is commonly understood as a structural misalignment and/or malfunction of the spine which compromises the flow of nerve impulses and reduces the body's innate ability to adapt and function properly. The physiologic effects of a VSC (disruption of homeostasis) often go unnoticed for years until the long term neural deficit contributes to pain or some other known pathology.
-- Normal playing, simple falls, and even birth trauma all can cause vertebral subluxation. The resultant nerve interference diminishes the body's ability to adapt to its environment. This subluxation process can explain the lingering health problems, infections, allergies, deficits, diseases, and other named disorders many children suffer from every day.
-- The good news is that VSC is a reversible condition! Each child needs to have his spine checked for subluxation by a Doctor of Chiropractic. Even if the child appears normal and healthy, Chiropractors are the only health care practitioners in the world trained to detect and remove vertebral subluxation by adjusting the spine. True health and wellness is achievable if the body can function as designed, free of nerve interference.
-- I invite you to join with ChiroKiddos by helping us promote "Healthy Kids" so this generation of children can live up to their maximum potential. We need to teach them "Healthy Habits" (avoid all drugs & toxins, eat lots of fruit & veggies, and exercise regularly). We also need to provide chiropractic care and "Healthy Spines" for all ages, especially children. Read more in my Healthy Kids blog posts.
