C hiropractic is a completely different approach to health. It is based upon the principle that harmony within the body is the normal state. Harmony of all the body's organs, tissues, and cells is called health. Each and every part po ; is working for the good of the DR. JOHN WANYO entire body. An absence of health is an unnatural state which is called disease or lack of normal body function. It may or may not be accompanied by symptoms. Chiropractors are not concerned with treating or removing disease or symptoms, but with restoring health. Chiropractors do not cure anything, only the body cures. Because the nervous system coordinates the functions of the entire body, a nervous system free of nerve interference is a prerequisite to normal body function. It is the chiropractor's task to remove nerve interference to allow the body to heal itself. CALL FOR THAT APPOINTMENT TODAY |_MEDICARE and MEDICAL ASSISTANCE ACCEPTED | 387 N.

Itll get better Do you sometimes feel that things are so out of hand that you're going to have a ‘nervous breakdown?” That if one more thing goes wrong, you'll go right off the deep end? Relax, you’re not alone. It happens to a lot of us. According to the October Reader’s Digest, within any six- month period, approximately 30 mil- lion Americans experience some form of mental disorder. Says Dr. Morton Silverman of the National Institute of Mental Health: ‘‘Every- one at some point in life may find himself or herself in a situation that could result in symptoms of mental dysfunction.” ; Pressures can come on suddenly and hit hard. And when they do, the key is to stay cool and apply a little ‘‘psycholgical first-aid,” says mental health experts. ‘‘In all mental disturbances, you lose your balance because you magnify some- thing so much your feelings throw your thinking ‘and behavior into chaos,” says Con Keogh, co-founder of GROW, Inc., one of several self- help groups around the country that teach people how to keep their balance when under stress. The Digest asked GROW and the other groups what you should do when your troubles seem unbeara- ble. Here are some of their recom- mendations. — Relax your muscles, change your thoughts. Do things that will make you less tense. Go for walks, dig in the garden. Most of all, think positive. — Don’t lapse into self-pity, hating or blaming others. This only coddles your feelings and keeps you stuck. — Go by what you know, not by what you feel. In any panic, there are innaccurate facts and distorted imaginings. So don’t dramatize your feelings. — Improve thinking and acting, and feelings will get better. Live one day at a time until you have your life back under control. Above all, remember you aren’t alone. Whatever is troubling you is something that happens to others too.
