 "Love is your key to success!"
As I sit and type this I can hear my wife reading to our daughter. She's four and doing a wonderful job sounding out and reading her sentences. Her little voice sounds like a tiny angel with each word. As a parent of young children I feel as if I'm in a secret club with other parents. In this club we know how it feels to love with total abundance. We are keenly aware of the people who surround our children and like mother panthers would reflexively strike anyone or anything that would bring harm to them.
The power of love for our children brings us strength. And the ability to love at this level can open the window to a part of ourselves that we may have never tapped into. Loving my children has made it easier for me to love others for just being themselves, warts and all.
The love my wife and I have for each other seems infinitely stronger as we allow ourselves to grow and love each other without condition. And just as important the love for my wife & children has given me a greater sense of purpose for being a better man, a better doctor and even a better friend.
Marion Williamson says, "By allowing yourself to love yourself, you allow others to love you."
Give yourself permission to not care what anyone else thinks and become the best you possible. Love what you do, love what you stand for, and your strength will help others do the same. The first day we opened Affinity Health & Wellness Center my wife bought me a gift. It is a picture frame that still hangs in the office that says:
Dance like nobody's watching,
Love like you've never been hurt,
and work like you don't need the money!

Unconditional Love
"You can't give love to someone else without knowing how to give yourself love first."
~Tristan Loo
According to humanistic psychology, human beings have an inner need and desire to give and receive high quality love. Love is the glue that holds together human society and without it our lives have little meaning or purpose.
In fact, our need to give high quality love to others drives us towards behaviors that would otherwise be considered insane, such as a mother rushing into a raging fire to save her child or a father working night and day at a job he hates in order to provide sustenance for his family.
Modern Western society has focused quite a bit of attention on how to attract, possess, and maintain love in one's own life, but it often misses the main secret of attracting love-that if you give love unconditionally from the heart, you will get love back in abundance from the unlimited supply the universe holds.

 Children get sick
This is something you are probably all too familiar with. No matter how careful you are with your hygeine, food choices, sleep, exercise and fresh water, it is inevitable that your children will pick up colds, flus and other random bugs.
Did you know that it's actually healthy for children to get sick to help develop their immune systems? We tend to fear symptoms such as the sniffles, fever or cough. Did you know that each of these symptoms has a specific purpose in cleansing the body of disease. And when we constantly supress these protective mechanisms we actually can prolong the illness for our kids.
Cough suppresants for example don't treat or cure a cough they just suppress it. Coughing is your bodies inborn defense mechanism that helps expell mucus from your lungs. Coughing is actually good for you when you are sick. It's a sign that your child's body is working exactly like it should.
We never want to see our kids suffering but during the day if you can let the fever burn off the virus or let the cough work to expell the mucus instead of supressing it you will be doing more to speed your child's healing then a fever reducer or cough suppresant could ever do. Then you can use the symptom releaving products at night so everyone can rest.
There are also many natural products that you can use to help boost your child's immune system and help them get better quicker. Talk to us or your pedicatrician about some of the most effective, safe and natural alternatives before taking an antibiotic, antihistamine or other otc remedy. Also discus with your doctor red flags to look for in your child that indicate a need for an emergency medical office visit.

 Could turmeric be the miracle spice? by Angela Baldasare
First I'd like to say thanks to everyone who came out for the God's Pharmacy workshop. It was a lot of fun and it fanned the flame to a great idea that we are putting in place now. Watch the newsletter for the announcement.
Those of you who came out may remember me saying that for 15 years I have been researching and singing the praises of natural treatments and cures. I was very excited to learn when diagnosed with a staph infection this past winter that one of the best treatments for staph was the Indian spice turmeric.
The more I have learned about turmeric the more I am amazed by it. This powerful little spice has the ability to:
- Strengthen and improve digestion by improving the elimination of wastes and toxins.
- Maintain proper intestinal flora, improving your body's ability to digest fats.
- Assist in the digestion of protein and some complex carbs, and reduce gas and bloating.
- It has the unique ability to support healthy liver function, and purify your blood.
- Reduce dangerous inflammation and it contains curcuminoids that fight cancer, arthritis and alzheimers.
Recent research holds much promise for people diagnosed with Chron's disease, Inflammatory bowel disease, cystic fibrosis, type 2 diabetes, psoriasis, rheumatoid arthritis, cataracts, gallstones, cancer and more. The compound has also been proven effective in blocking the progression of multiple sclerosis.
Start sprinkling this miracle spice on as many of your meals as possible. If you don't like the taste of turmeric you can also purchase it in supplement form. Just make sure you look for a good organic brand containing only turmeric and no other added herbs or supplements.
Try this yummy meal made with turmeric tonight!

Add the chicken and marinade for at least 7 hours but preferably overnight turning occasionally. Drain the chicken and reserve the marinade. Heat the olive oil in a medium pan; add chicken and cook over a high heat for 5-10 minutes or until lightly browned and tender; stir in the reserved marinade. Serve the chicken strips with humus rolled in pita bread.

 Back to what I love
Over the last few years I have been able to pursue my entrepreneurial ventures. I am a true entrepreneur at heart and I love creating new things. I have been fortunate enough to have a wonderful staff and partners that have made it possible to do other things.
A strange thing happened a few months ago. As much as I love being busy, I do not like being hurried, especially with things that do not align with my purpose. My first passion has been and always will be helping others at Affinity Health & Wellness.
My commitment to being a better doctor, friend and husband is still my "New Years" resolution, and yes it's February do you remember what yours was? I will personally be seeing patients on a regular schedule again Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Dr. Mike will be seeing patients Tuesday through Saturday.
We are committed to being the best Chiropractic Wellness Center in the country, please feel free to give us your input.
Yours in health,
Dr. Brent Baldasare
P.S. Thank you for reading this far down. |
