WHY IS
CHIROPRACTIC
DIFFERENT?
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.

Presenting ‘‘Accreditation and
Relax! 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.
