What Is the World’s Greatest Drugstore?
What would the world’s greatest drugstore be like? Well, it’ll have every drug and chemical you need to live a long, healthy life, free of disease, pain and disability. The drugs from this drugstore would never have a side-effect. This drugstore would be open 24 hours a day, never close and be at your beck and call – delivery would be instantaneous. Also, all the drugs would be free.
Well, such a drugstore does exist! It’s your own body!
Yes, every drug and chemical you need to live a long and healthy life is made by your body, in the exact right amount, just when you need it, 24 hours a day.
Your body makes drugs (chemicals) to raise your blood pressure and lower your blood pressure, relax you and make you hyper-vigilant (for example, when you are in danger); drugs to create inflammation and drugs to dissolve inflammation, painkillers and pleasure creators as powerful as heroin. Further, your body manufactures chemicals that create tumors and chemicals that dissolve tumors; chemicals to raise and lower your blood sugar; raise and lower your cholesterol and even ... drugs to make you hungry, to make you feel satiated, drugs to build up bone, drugs to break down bone, drugs to build muscle, drugs to break down muscle, drugs to stimulate you as well as drugs to depress you.
These drugs are perfectly designed for your unique needs, your unique genetic expression – and they have no side-effects or adverse reactions.
Further, these drugs are made in the exact right amount and delivered to the exact part of your body that needs them at the exact moment it needs them. Some of these drugs are unique to you – no one else has them. No man-made pharmacy can do that.
Yes, get your body working at its full potential and it’ll provide you with all the drugs you need, in the right amount and tailored to your unique body – and all these drugs are natural and organic!
Americans and Canadians spend millions of dollars on tons of synthetic (unnatural) drugs each year. Every prescription and OTC (over-the-counter) drug has the potential to cause a bad reaction. In fact, tens of thousands of people die from reactions to properly prescribed medications every year. They are taking unnatural drugs because their internal pharmacy is not working to its fullest potential.
Chiropractic care, by correcting subluxations, helps to “wake up” your internal pharmacy so it will function closer to its potential. Subluxations are misalignments of your body structure that interfere with the energy and communication that travels over your brain, spinal cord and spinal nerves. Without proper communications your internal pharmacy may not get the right information to give you everything you need at a moment’s notice in the exact amount.
For your internal pharmacy to be working at 100% (or as close to it as possible) you need a body free from subluxations. For that reason, regular chiropractic care is needed by everyone!
Is your world’s greatest drugstore working at peak efficiency?
Nourishing Foods
To keep your internal drugstore working you need your information channels functioning without subluxations and you also need good raw ingredients. With great nutrition, your internal pharmacy will create the best quality drugs.
There are many “superfoods” in nature. An excellent one for your body chemistry is coconut oil. In addition to having many nutrients that are good for many organs, especially your brain, cooking with and adding coconut oil to your foods will ensure that your internal pharmacy gets excellent raw materials to make the best drugs possible.
For example, coconut oil is shown to balance your hormones, aid detoxification, make your skin look younger, help you lose weight, control your appetite, increase muscle mass, combat yeast infections, protect your heart, manage diabetes, strengthen bones, maintain healthy teeth, fight (and prevent) kidney infections, fight inflammation, boost your immune system, protect against cancer as well as alleviate age-related cognitive deficits and neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s. (1)
In one study researchers found significant improvements in Alzheimer’s patients after 45 to 90 days of using coconut oil in the form of medium chain triglycerides (MCT oil). (2)
An easy way to use coconut oil is to add it to your morning coffee. A great recipe to keep you healthy and “well oiled” is to add one tablespoon of coconut oil and one tablespoon of organic, grass-fed butter or ghee to a big mug of coffee. The butter or ghee has its own special benefits. Now you put it in a blender and blend it up (it’ll taste like a latte). Add some stevia, monk fruit or other natural sweetener instead of sugar. You can find some recipes at https://www.thecookierookie.com/bulletproof-coffee-recipe/. Don’t like coffee? Use an herbal coffee substitute or tea.

Questions and Answers About Chiropractic
Question: Can a chiropractor see things that I can’t?
Answer: Yes! When you see people walking down the street, do you notice if their shoes are pointed in the same direction or does one stick out or in more than the other?
Do you notice if their heads are balanced front to back, side to side, on their necks?
Do you notice if one hand seems to be a little lower on the body than the other hand? Do you notice if one arm swings a little more than the other? If the hip swings more on one side than the other when a person walks? If, when lying down, one leg appears shorter than the other?
These, and other seemingly minor differences are common and can be very important. Yet most people don’t notice or appreciate them. But your chiropractor often notices them and sees the tremendous importance in body balance and symmetrical movement.
Now you know why top professional and Olympic athletes visit chiropractors – for better balance, coordination and movement plus more energy and efficiency of motion.
Researching Chiropractic

Chiropractic clinical case histories have been a regular feature of our patient newsletter since its inception. There seems to be no limit to the health problems that respond to chiropractic care. How many people suffering, on drugs, facing a life of limitation could be helped by chiropractic care?
Probably most of them.
Rheumatoid arthritis, headaches and neck pain. A 59-year-old man suffering from headaches, neck pain, and rheumatoid arthritis began chiropractic care. Over a period of 10½ weeks he received eight chiropractic adjustments. He reported complete resolution of his headaches and neck pain following the first adjustment. In addition, his rheumatoid arthritis symptoms decreased to such an extent that he was able to discontinue his medication. (3)
Posttraumatic epilepsy (PTE). PTE sufferers have recurrent seizures following an injury to the brain. These injuries are often the result of a traumatic brain injury (TBI) or a brain operation.
A 19-year-old man was diagnosed with posttraumatic epilepsy. He had a traumatic brain injury six months prior to coming to a chiropractor’s office.
His vertebral subluxations as revealed by X-ray were corrected. Almost immediately the frequency of his seizures began decreasing and then completely resolved. Additionally, the headaches and dizziness from which he suffered also improved. He remained seizure free in a 10-year follow-up. (4)
Vaginal birth of twins after a caesarean (VBAC). A 34-year-old woman 16 weeks pregnant with twin girls began chiropractic care. Her chief complaint was severe left sacroiliac, hip and buttock pain. She had been suffering for 3 weeks. She also mentioned that she wished to have a natural childbirth since having had a pregnancy and caesarean birth two years prior.
Over a period of 19 weeks she received 18 adjustments. Her sacroiliac, hip and buttock pain abated and at 36 weeks’ gestation, she successfully delivered twins via vaginal birth after caesarean (VBAC). (5)

If you replace "W" with "T" in "What, Where and When", you get the answer to each of them?
Measles is Good for A Child
There is a lot of concern about measles. Why? Apart from it being a mild condition with a slight fever and some rash for a few days, and the benefit of not having to go to school, getting measles is associated with protection from cancer, stroke and heart disease later in life. The biomedical journals have many such reports:
Contracting measles in childhood reduces the risk of developing lymphatic cancer in adulthood. (6)
Having proper measles, with rashes and fever, protects against cancer, degenerative diseases of bone and cartilage. Measles that has a slight fever has a higher mortality than measles with a strong fever. (7)
Measles and mumps, especially in case of both infections, were associated with lower risks of mortality from atherosclerotic CVD (cardiovascular disease). (8)
Having measles and other infectious diseases of childhood strengthens a child’s immune system and detoxifies their body.
In addition, according to a MedAlerts search of the FDA Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) database as of 2/5/19, no children have died from measles and yet the measles, mumps and rubella vaccines caused 93,929 adverse events, 1,810 disabilities, 6,902 hospitalizations and 463 deaths. The measles vaccine is much, much more dangerous than getting measles.

Success Story
Back and Foot Pain
If you're looking for a chiropractor, I strongly recommend Dr. Horning without hesitation. He delivers results.
I started seeing Dr. Horning the past two weeks for lower back and foot pain. My experiences with him have been nothing short of amazing, from my first consultation through present. In my first visit, he took the time to talk to me about all of my concerns and how I arrived at my condition, PLUS sent me for X-rays, AND made time for me to come back the same day to review the results together and discuss a plan for recovery.
I had injured my back over 3 months prior to seeking help. (I kept taking Aleve thinking it would just go away on its own. But it didn't. I was just masking the pain, and exacerbating the problem.) Then when I hurt my foot I realized I needed professional help.
Dr. Horning was able to quickly pinpoint the cause, make adjustments to my body, and within just 3-4 visits, I felt like i had a brand new back. I was thrilled. My foot is significantly better as well (the condition is different so will take a little longer for full recovery, but feels 100 times better than before I sought help.)
And I don't want to discount his staff - really friendly and helpful every time I call and come into the office. It's just a really positive atmosphere altogether.
