Healing Power From Small Changes

When We Have Ingrained Habits We Simply Don’t Realize…

I was watching a documentary on Great Britain and in one segment the show producers gained access to the inner workings of Big Ben. This giant tower clock has minute hands on four sides that are 11 feet long! The clock keeper went on to explain that by virtue of their size that the minute hands often acted like sails catching the wind. On especially windy days and nights the minute hands can actually drive the inner mechanisms forward or back; effecting the accuracy of the clock. Big Ben has a very big pendulum meant to assure accuracy. What is remarkable that given the grand scale of Big Ben throughout, the clock keepers account for inaccuracies by placing pennies on the pendulum. A fraction of an ounce in a penny drives the timing on the hammer to strike the 16 ton bell to ring true!

Dr. Vinick explains how Ayurveda tweaks small errors to return optimal health see below…

In Ayurvedic medicine we find that most conditions arise out of errors. Either knowingly or unknowingly. In diet and lifestyle. And so, in Ayurveda, we look very closely at diet and lifestyle. We look at what created that condition, what created that imbalance long before a condition is diagnosed.
There are subtle imbalances that arise due to these, the errors in diet and lifestyle. Once we determine what caused these imbalances, we can make subtle changes. Often times a few changes in diet and lifestyle can produce a profound effect in the overall course of an individual’s life. We can, prevent many of these chronic conditions, chronic pain, fibromyalgia. The whole host of auto-immune diseases can be prevented if the imbalance can be determined in its early stages. And then reversed so that the psychophysiology returns to its normal state of functioning.
I’m licensed as a chiropractor. But I’ve specialize in Ayurveda for probably twenty years in addition to my chiropractic practice. And, I can honestly say that those individuals that come. and are able to follow the simple dietary and lifestyle recommendations, improve. Now that’s not to say that everyone is going to recover that, that isn’t the case. It depends upon how so many factors the how advanced their condition is. and also the, the the knowledge of the practitioner.
Their ability to correctly diagnose the problem and give the specific correct recommendations. But a lot of it falls on the patient, because it’s the patient. This is an active therapy, it’s not a passive therapy.
Chiropractic is a passive therapy. The person comes in, they get adjusted. Acupuncture is a passive therapy, massage therapy, these are passive therapies. Ayurveda has some passive therapies, but primarily it’s involves activity and participation from patient. It depends upon the ability of the person to follow through with those recommendations.
In my twenty years of clinical experience, of those patients that have more or less pretty well followed through with the recommendations, I’ve seen improvement. Stress, is due to non-harmonious lifestyle factors. In addition to the physiology being stressed, by bad food.
