“Learning from Old Men and Starfish…”
Wisdom that works for all, if we really listen…

 

Dear friend,

What a story. It’s a story that I heard long ago that I should tell you about, too. It may help change a life.

At the first glimmer of light of dawn, a young man walked at the edge of the seashore. There had been a storm the night before, and he knew this would be a good morning to find seashells. With pants rolled up above his ankles, he walked along looking down for what treasures he might find.

Then, the young man looked up and could barely make out a figure of a very old man ahead of him. The young man watched as the old man bent down to pick up an object from the sand, and toss it into the surf. As he got closer, and the light of morning began to turn the sand pink, he noticed that the old man was picking up starfish that had been tossed up on the beach by the storm. There were thousands of them, but one by one the old man picked them up, and tossed them back into the surf.

Nearing the old man, the young man introduced himself, and said, “Excuse me, but there are thousands of starfish stranded here on the beach. You can’t possibly make a difference?”

The old man smiled and looked at him, then picked up another starfish. He tossed it back in the sea. “I certainly made a difference to that one, didn’t I son?”

That old man did make a difference, like someone made a difference from me. Let me tell you my story.

I was very thankful that my mum had undergone nurse training. During her training, she learnt that a difficult birth can be very traumatic. She had always thought something wasn’t right about using forceps, suction or caesarian section.

Shortly after I was born I suffered with some health problems. It got that bad that the only option medical doctors could give was for my mum to start medicating my body at such a young and vulnerable age, and they had no guarantees. For some reason that didn’t sound right to my mum. This was seriously affecting my parents’ life because my condition was worsening. Nothing had helped and they didn’t know what to do. They had tried everything; well they thought they had tried everything.

Fortunately my mum decided to have my spine checked when I was only 6 months old. This Doctor did an exam, took some films, and then ‘adjusted’ my spine. The adjustments didn’t hurt, they actually felt great (well as my mum told me). It worked so well for me, that I had regular spinal checkups throughout my childhood. As I got older, I was so impressed with the other ‘miracles’ I saw in his practice, that I eventually went to university to study to become a doctor myself. And that’s how it happened.

During my training at university, I was taught by some of the best there are. My senior tutors and lecturers were wonderful people who showed me how to do one thing extremely well…and that was, how to help people get well and stay well.

Now for little Maddi and Kerrie, who are in the photo next to me, they are some of my favourite patients. Little Maddi was always considered to be healthy by traditional medical standards, but when she had a thorough spine and nerve system check-up, we discovered that she had experienced trauma during her birthing process causing a problem in her upper neck, a misalignment (a bone out of place) better known as ‘Vertebral Subluxation’. This can occur in many newborn children as research has demonstrated that it happens to nearly 75% of all children, due to abnormal excessive force during the birthing process, such as forceps, suction, C-section delivery and even when any hands are required to pull the baby out. Childbirth can be a very traumatic process for both the mother and baby. Stressful birth can cause all sorts of problems later in life.

Many parents have children who don’t sleep well or suffer unnecessarily with health problems just like I did. And you can imagine how stressful that would be for those parents.

Maddi’s grandmother was already a patient at my practice and insisted that her daughter get her newborn child’s spine checked properly. And so she did. As for little Maddi, I have given her the best start to life. She has been raised drug-free while her whole family continues to get healthier and stronger. Maddi and Kerrie are some of the healthiest little girls that I know. That seems like a small thing now, but it makes a huge difference to their future.

It’s strange how life is, because now people come to see me with their children and all kinds of health problems. There are millions who suffer from health problems, and many do not know where they can turn. For over one hundred years spinal wellness practitioners have been helping those people and making a difference to them, one by one.

Several times a day patients thank me for helping them with their health problems. But I can’t really take the credit. I’ve never healed anyone of anything. What I do is perform a specific spinal adjustment to remove nerve pressure, and the body responds by functioning better. It’s amazing what happens when you just get the body to work better. A body that functions better, heals better and is healthier. We get tremendous results. It’s as simple as that!

Here’s what some of my patients have to say:

“This doctor really cares.” (Norman Homewood - Faversham)

“I had back pain for years since 1997. Nobody could help me until I saw Dr. Christian in 2003. I have never looked back as it has changed my life.” (Pam Amos – Whitstable)

“My whole family see Dr. Christian to keep us well.” (Raj Patel – Pharmacist, Canterbury)

“I have not had any days off work since seeing Dr. Christian and having my spine checked.” (Dean Northwood – Broadstairs)

Millions of Britons no longer have health insurance, and those who do have found that their benefits are reduced. That’s where my spinal check up comes in. I have a significantly lower exam fee plan so that more people are able to afford the care they need. Another way to save…studies have shown that if you look after your spine and nervous system, you are healthier. So you may not be running off to the M.D. as much. Studies have also shown that many people actually pay less for their health care expenses if they are seeing a spinal wellness practitioner.

You Can Benefit from an Amazing Offer- Look, you shouldn’t have to wait endlessly, nor should it cost you an arm and a leg to correct your health. When you bring in this article, you will receive my entire new patient exam for £27. That includes full spine evaluation, postural assessment, x-rays if required and a detailed report….the whole “nine-yards”. This exam could cost you £250 elsewhere. But, please call right away because this offer expires on Tuesday 23rd December 2008, and I don’t want you to miss out. By the way, you’ll be happy to know that I have affordable family plans. Further care is very important to consider when making your choice of doctor. We have a low exam fee to help more people who need care. Also, 50% of your consultation and exam fee will be donated to the Salvation Army to assist them in the great work they do for others in our community.

Please, I hope that there’s no misunderstanding about quality of care just because I have a lower exam fee. You’ll get great care at a great fee.
