This Vitamin is Proven to Prevent Cancer, Autoimmune Disease, and the Flu Many times people come up to me and ask, “Dr. Nate, I have (insert condition). Is there a vitamin or supplement I can take to get rid of (insert condition)? I always tell them to follow the 5 Essentials of Maximized Living first, (If you don’t know them then you are sleepwalking through the office) then come ask me after that. After all, taking a vitamin or supplement to “cure” a condition is no different than taking a drug to “cure” a condition. It’s just that it might be a safer, more natural solution. Supplements don’t heal; it’s the power God put in the body to heal that heals us. With that said, I only recommend a vitamin or supplement when it is impossible, or at least really hard to get even when following the Maximized Living Core or Advanced nutrition plans. There is one vitamin that I extremely hard to get consistently every day. That’s because it’s not in a lot of food and you won’t get enough unless you spend at least 20-30 minutes per day in the sunshine. The vitamin? Vitamin D The Associate Press reported recently that vitamin D influences more than 200 genes, including the ones related to cancers like leukemia and colorectal cancer and autoimmune diseases like multiple sclerosis, type I diabetes, and Crohn’s Disease. Another study in Virology Journal found that those with low levels of Vitamin D have dramatically more frequent lower respiratory tract infections and that 2,000 IU of vitamin D per day will dramatically lower the number of flu cases every year. Fall is quickly approaching, and so is the annual flu season “scare” tactics. Make sure you don’t miss your “flu adjustments”, take your Vitamin D (we have it here in stock at the office for that reason), and that you are at Thompson Chiropractic Clinic’s Flu Talk on Monday, September 13th so that you and your family are equipped with the knowledge to fight off any flu virus with ease.

Butt-Prints A man lays awake restlessly in his bed, contemplating his own pain and suffering and considering all of the terrible challenges in the world. Exhausted, he looks up at the ceiling of his bedroom and says out, "God, have you forgotten us?" Not hearing a response, he cries again, "God, do you even exist?" When he finally slept, he had a dream. He was looking down a long sandy beach and noticed at some points in his journey there were footprints. These were the times life was good, he was healthy, the economy was booming, and things were going well in the world. At other times, when his life was rough and the world was falling apart around him, he saw only the outline of what looked like a butt. So he asked God, “How come when things are going well, I see footprints and during the times everything is going bad, I only see butt prints?" "My son,” He answered “the times you saw footprints, were the times when you were walking down the path that I had planned out for you." "And the butt-prints,” he queried? God said, "That had nothing to do with me. That's when you were sitting on your butt." Stop Blaming Your Genes and Get Off Your Butt! This little number I wrote comes from the concern over people blaming their health on their genetics. Anyone paying attention to science and common sense knows that believing genetics has everything to do with your well-being and your future is like thinking that the only food you should eat is broccoli. Sure, broccoli is a part of a healthy diet, but it’s far from everything. Genetics do no more than give you a tendency. They are, however, far from a death sentence or for that matter, a life sentence. Your DNA may set certain possibilities up, but how you live your life – what you do – stands above your genetics. The science is called Epigenetics. “Epi” means “above.” There is something that stands above your genetic coding when it comes to your health and your future. Like the “Butt Prints” story above, those that do not follow a path towards wellness will very likely “pull the trigger on the gun of genetics.” If you lead a lousy lifestyle, poison yourself, ignore warning signs, and fall victim to conventional medical models that don’t work, don’t blame God when you become ill. The most common reason for a genetic curse is the passing down of lifestyle habits, not some minuscule protoplasm.

Pretty Average = Pretty Bad Everyone has the potential for greatness. It’s just that everyone around them keeps convincing them to be average. Why you really don’t want to be average when it comes to your health: - The average person takes 11 prescriptions per year.
- The average person will spend approximately $7,500 per year on “healthcare” expenses.
- The average person retiring today will need almost $200,000 saved beyond their retirement savings in order to pay for their upcoming heath care expenses.
- The average person’s life expectancy in the U.S. does not even rank in the top 30 countries in the world.
- The average person takes at least 5 medications by the time they are 65 years of age.
- The average child will receive approximately 100 vaccines before they are six years of age.
Dare to be a great parent, a great friend, a great employee, and dare to have great health. Of course the “average person” will see you as weird or fanatical. But tell them, “I’m trying to change the world. What are you doing?”

Dare to Be Different! “If you will live like no one else, later you can live like no one else.” - Dave Ramsey, Financial Expert We’re always looking for the “quick fix”. We want great relationships, financial peace, and great health, but most don’t want to invest the blood, sweat and tears. When it comes to health, we love to take the quick little pill that will cure our ills. We love the fast food that tastes good and is cheap to make. We love the diet plans that promise weight loss without changing anything about our lifestyle. We buy the workout gear that promises a lean, ripped body without lifting a finger. We even look for the chiropractor who is willing to “fix” us in as little time as possible. The Result: Everyone is sick, on multiple medications, overweight, out of shape, stressed out, and has a sick and diseased nerve system. Dare to be different! Start living a life investing in the 5 Essentials to Maximized Health: 1) Maximized Nutrition: Start eating according to God’s plan and not man’s plan. While it may be more expensive, it will add years of health and save massive money in doctor’s bills. 2) Maximized Nerve Supply: Correct the spine and nerve system to its maximum potential, since subluxation is the root cause of disease and illness in your body. 3) Minimized Toxins: Can anything good come out of mercury in your mouth, aluminum in your vaccines, MSG in your food, and toxic medication? If a lot is bad for you, why is a little okay? 4) Maximized oxygen and lean muscle: Invest an hour a week in a fitness program of surge training and quicksets and you will discover the fitness that no one else you know has. 5) Maximized mind: It all starts with changing your mindset. Start believing today that “you can” and not “you can’t”. The only people who tell you that you can’t are the ones who want to see you just as sick and tired as them. When you start living like no one else, expect a lot of negativity from other people. Understand full well that it means that you are on the right track. Attention: You are the Voice! You are the voice of our community. If you don’t reach out to help the sick and suffering who will? On Monday, August 2nd at 7:00, Dr. Thompson will be hosting “Dinner with the Doc”. This is a great opportunity for your friends to hear a short message on health and healing, enjoy great food and fellowship, and have a chance to chat with Dr. Thompson.
Watch Tia share her testimony about how chiropractic has radically changed her life!

Are You Shrinking to Death? Why looking your Grandma Mabel just doesn’t look bad…it can be deadly A major study published by the Archives of Internal Medicine found that men who had lost 3 or more cm of height had a 64% greater risk for all cause mortality, which mostly included cardiovascular and respiratory disease Why does shrinking height affect your health? 1) You get shorter because your spine and discs degenerate. When the discs degenerate, it puts dangerous pressure on nerve roots and the spinal cord, especially in the lower neck where the nerves go into the heart and lungs. 2) You get shorter when the head shifts forward (Forward Head Posture). Forward head posture has been shown to cause spinal cord tension in the lower neck and reduced lung capacity by as much as 30%. Bad Spine = Early Death Your friends and neighbors might think its crazy, but now can you see why the spine and nerve system is the foundation of your health? Now can you see why it’s up to us to tell them? Good food and exercise, although important, will never fix a degenerating spine and nerve system. Only the most advanced chiropractic care, which we do here, will do that! Attention!!! Did you know that high blood pressure and high cholesterol are only the symptoms of heart disease? Why would you fix the symptoms when you can correct the cause? On Monday, July 26th at 6:15 PM, we will be going over the life-changing plan to reverse high blood pressure and cholesterol in only 4 weeks! Your friends and family are depending on YOU to not only be there, but to bring them!

How would you feel if your loved one held a loaded gun to their head? You maybe are saying, “That’s a ridiculous question because we don’t even own a gun!” But the reality is you and your loved ones have a gun to their head every day! The difference is how many bullets are in their gun. You have the choice of how many bullets you can put into the gun. You can put in none, one, three, or all six. If you or your child is overweight or obese there is one bullet in the gun! “Being obese triples the risk of heart disease, as well as produces a tenfold increase in the chance of developing diabetes.” -ABC News, December 22, 2004 There is another bullet in the chamber if you are taking medications. “The conventional medical system is the LEADING cause of death in this country.” “2 people die every minute living in the medical model” -www.lef.org You put 2 bullets in the chamber if you are subluxated! Subluxations are misalignments of the spine that damage the spinal cord and nerve system “Research shows that a loss or increase in spinal curves, increases mortality (speeds up death) and takes up to 14 years off your life.” -“Spine” Volume 30, November 1 If you or your family is not under regular chiropractic care, there are 2 bullets loaded in your gun. If you are missing your appointments, you’re putting a bullet in the chamber! If you’re missing our maximized living classes on proper nutrition, stress management, and exercise, you are putting more bullets in your chamber! The reality, for me and my family, is that we just don’t want to take that chance. Get adjusted, eat healthier, exercise more, and avoid medications at all costs. That way, every morning you’ll have a greater chance of hearing a “click” rather than a “bang”. Don’t play Russian Roulette with your health! Sign up with a guest for the Extreme Weight Loss class on Monday, July 12th at 6:30 at the Yorkville REC Center.

Your Retiree Medical Bill: $197,000 That’s how much a recent study by U.S. News and World Report says the average 65-year-old couple will need for out-of-pocket health care costs. This is taking into consideration that: You do not have a chronic health condition like heart disease, cancer, or diabetes (which roughly 5 in 6 have by the time they are 65). You HAVE Medicare coverage (which is expected to become bankrupt by 2016) Ø You will not end up in a nursing home You have two choices: 1) Start saving frantically by buying cheap food, skipping out on your supplements, canceling your gym membership, and letting your spine and nerve system decay, and hoping you have saved enough money for the impending health crisis to come or… 2) Start investing in your most valuable asset: your health. Start buying nutritious and toxin-free food, take cutting-edge supplements that enhance your healing, invest in a gym membership and actually go exercise with a purpose, and get adjusted regularly and do your spinal corrective exercises in order to maintain optimal nerve system health and function. That way, you have health AND wealth at the end of your life to enjoy it! Health happens by CHOICE, not by CHANCE!

Why you can’t lose weight The answer to this question has to do with your hormones, not how much you eat or how much you exercise. The specific hormone is called Leptin. It is the hormone that tells your body to stop eating and to burn fat. If your Leptin is out of balance, despite your best efforts, you will not be able to lose weight. You know what I’m talking about. You try the grapefruit diet. You try the Zone diet. You try the South Beach Diet and you still can’t lose weight or keep it off. You work out on the treadmill. Still you hit a wall. That’s called weight loss resistance. With this imbalance, you will burn sugar for energy, not fat. You won’t be able to lose weight and you’ll have uncontrollable cravings for sugar or bread. Remember, fat doesn’t make you fat, it’s the inability to burn fat. If you have a Leptin problem, you will not be able to lose weight until that is fixed. Here’s what happens when it’s fixed: Tom: Lost 48 lbs in 12 weeks. Triglycerides went from 800 to 80! Deb: Lost 70+ pounds with the healing diet and surge training! Mike: Has lost over 60 lbs and is on his way to 100! Jason: Lost 55 lbs and is off of all his meds. Mary: Lost 60 lbs and is off at least 5 medications! Here’s the question: WHO DO YOU KNOW THAT NEEDS TO HAVE THEIR LIFE TRANSFORMED IN 3 HOURS ? Find out how to solve problems with weight loss, diabetes, heart disease, MS, arthritis, depression and allergies. It’s all about hormones, toxicity and inflammation. We will give you and your friends the tools transform yourself in 30 days. You will have solutions for EVERY HEALTH PROBLEM you could ever have. Do not miss the brand new Maximized Living Makeover on Saturday, February 6th 1-4 pmat the Yorkville REC Center This is a completely new exciting format with more hands-on learning and changing. This is 3 hours to a new life. Sign up your family and your guests today before it fills up!

 “Fertilizing" Your Genes Why it may be time to stop blaming Mom and Dad for your health problems Why is it… That Americans have the highest rates of cancer and heart disease than anywhere else in the world, yet have one of the most genetically diverse populations? That cancer and heart disease rates are significantly lower in other countries, yet when a person from that country emigrates to the U.S., their risks of cancer and heart disease begin to skyrocket? Didn’t they have the same genes in both countries? We have to stop blaming our genes! Here’s why: In a landmark study in 2005, researchers found that men with prostate cancer who changed their diets, exercised regularly, and reduced their stress, found that their prostate cancer had improved in just one year without using traditional treatment methods (and this is only applying 3 of the 5 Maximized Living Essentials, with the others being reducing toxicity and correcting the nerve system). Washington Post Thursday, August 11, 2005 How your genes are like a “dormant seed”: You may have a genetic predisposition to cancer or heart disease, but it doesn’t mean you are destined to get it. Your genes are only a seed, blooming into disease when you water it, fertilize it, and give it the soil to grow. How do we “fertilize” our genes? 1) Toxicity through our food, cleaning products, vaccines, etc… 2) Subluxation of our spines, causing damage to our nerve systems, reducing healing, repair, and immune system function 3) Processed, inflammatory, man-man food 4) Lack of fitness and exercise 5) Negative thoughts and stress Need help? We will show you the way! Thousands already have!

Americans Are Living Longer Than Ever Before…
But That’s Only Half the Story
Livescience.com August 19, 2009
U.S. life expectancy has reached an all-time high of almost 78 years according to the Centers for Disease Control in a recent report
Here’s the other half of the story…
Ø Despite having by far and away the highest health care spending per person in the world, the U.S. doesn’t even rank in the top 30 for life expectancy and ranks as one of the lowest among developed nations.
Ø Life expectancy gains are pretty much over and actually will be declining as the current trends in obesity and diabetes among children and adolescents continue to skyrocket.
What can make the U.S. #1 Again? The 5 Essentials:
1) Maximized Nerve Supply: The nerve system controls all body function. Loss of spinal curves, a forward shifting head, and/or degeneration of the spine lead to loss of nerve function.
2) Minimized Toxicity: Heavy Metals, pesticides, toxic mold, and the chemicals in your personal care and cleaning products all create a toxic environment for your cells.
3) Maximized Nutrition: If man created it in a laboratory or altered it in any way, don’t eat it.
4) Maximized Lean Muscle: Increased lean muscle is a HUGE indicator of healthy longevity. Are you doing your Surge Training sets 3 to 4 times per week?
5) Maximized Time Management: If you can’t manage your time, you can’t manage your relationships, your health, and your future. Plan your day, or your emergencies will plan your day for you.

A TITANIC Tragedy
Perhaps the greatest tragedy of the Titanic was the fact that a massive amount of lives could have been saved if it were only for one thing:
IF PEOPLE WOULD HAVE LISTENED AND ACTED
Ø When the Titanic was sinking, it sent off eight rockets as a distress signal. The Californian, a nearby ship, saw the rockets but didn’t think they were important.
Ø Although the Titanic had received several warnings of icebergs from other ships, the captain decided to continue the ship at top speed
Ø Most of the lifeboats that were launched were half empty. This was because the crew could not persuade many of the passengers that the Titanic was actually sinking
Ø As the people in the half-empty lifeboats watched the Titanic sink, some of the survivors pleaded to go back to rescue more people. A majority, however, were moved to merely save their own lives and keep going. As a result, most of the lifeboats rowed away half-empty while hundreds of fathers, mothers, and their children drown.
Over 2500 people die a preventable death EVERY DAY from living in the MEDICAL MODEL
Do you realize that a Titanic is happening every day in your backyard? Are you on the lifeboat of Maximized Living? Are you correcting your nerve system, attending the advanced workshops on heart disease, cancer, and diabetes? Are you doing your corrective spinal exercises that help prevent spinal and neurological decay every day?
Do you realize that the lifeboat is only half full? Do you realize that your friends and family are drowning in the ocean with no way of surviving unless you turn back and rescue them NOW?
Does it pain you to see such a tragedy happen every day? Do you lay awake at night anguishing over the tragedy of a life never reaching their God-given potential? I don’t know about you, but we’re turning back the boat to rescue the sick and suffering. Some won’t listen, some won’t care, but there might just be…

Asprin Linked to Brain Bleeding!!! Taking aspirin or similar blood-thinning medication may cause minute bleeding in the brains of older adults, according to a new study. The report released April 13th in the Archives of Neurology found that older patients taking aspirin appeared more likely to have barely-perceptible bouts of cerebral "microbleeding," detected by researchers with the aid of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technology. The study found that the link between the drugs and microbleeding was particularly pronounced among individuals taking aspirin at higher doses. The drug often is taken as a blood thinner by elderly people to treat or prevent heart disease. There it is again!!! Another study telling us that the “safest” drug in the world causes a person to bleed inside the brain!!! Did you know that aspirin has been linked to stroke, increased risk for breast and pancreatic cancer, and stomach bleeding? And this is taking it the RIGHT WAY!!! The only side effect of living a MAXIMIZED LIVING life is amazing health! The reason why is because the chiropractic lifestyle relies on the power that heals you! The same power that formed you from two cells to 76 trillion today has never left you. It is always there!!! When that power is interfered with through subluxation and poor lifestyle, you get sick! Now can you see why someone gets “sicker” when they dump all kinds of chemicals in their body when they are already sick? Who do you know taking aspirin? Who do you know who’s taking multiple medications? Who do you know living in the medical model that only promises “disease management” and causes early death? Would they want to know of a better way? Need a Chiropractor in Yorkville? Feel free to contact us.

Too often, we sell ourselves short when it comes to our personal health – be that physical or emotional. We tend to think that if we were born with something or have a genetic inclination for it, the best we can do for ourselves is hope to manage the illness or affliction with as little pain as possible. The same is as true for common bugs like the cold as it is for common emotions like feeling depressed. We tend to think that there is nothing we can do about these experiences, that they are a part of being human, and that we must simply learn to deal. This attitude concerns Maximized Living Doctor Nathan Thompson, for nothing could be further from the truth. We do not have to sit back, passively waiting for disease and affliction to strike. The body can heal itself; the mind can heal itself. All we need to do is remove the obstacles that are standing in the way.
Some of these obstacles include simple things such as lack of proper nutrition and exercise. Good nutrition provides the body’s building blocks for regeneration; heart-pumping exercise flushes toxicity and provides desperately needed oxygen to the brain, muscles, and cells.
Other obstacles are less obvious, but are equally important to address. Exposure to toxicity decreases the body’s ability to function properly when our natural detoxification systems are already faltering. Misalignment or malfunction of the spinal and nerve tissue is a common source of decreased vitality as well, making it important to visit your chiropractic doctor on a regular basis. Also, environmental stressors such as a bad workplace or unsatisfying personal relationships play a huge role in our overall feeling of health and wellbeing.
The piece to take away from all of this is that you have much more say in your state of health than you may have previously realized. There is no better time than now to start putting your body and your mind back on the right track – where health, vitality, and wellbeing are the norm.

Beware: A Pandemic of Health is Approaching! People love a good tragedy. I am not a news reporter, but clearly nothing sells like sick and dying people, war, or a nice natural disaster. Unfortunately, the Court of Public Opinion quickly believes what it reads and therefore, finds guilty or inadmissible for anything positive, praiseworthy, or in any way can be considered "good news."
Every year, "the flu" is HUGE NEWS. The question you have to ask is, "Is flu news vital information because it will save my life or because it sells newspapers (along with a whole lot of vaccines and other drugs)?" The same can be asked of any big tragic news. Is it really something for me to panic about and build a bunker for or are they just using my fear and inherent self-preservation mechanisms to stop me from changing the channel to get me to buy products related to the "disaster?" We jump on a "Swine Flu Pandemic" and rush out for injections no matter how little sense it makes to get a shot of something that does not actually fight the Swine Flu.
THINK ABOUT IT:
What if everyone rushed out and started doing Surge Training (12 min/week exercising)?
What if everyone "freaked out" and threw out the flour and sugar (Except for Vacation meals)?
What if everyone made sure to get their family adjusted rather than injected (More immunity
with less poison in the body)?
What if people became obsessed with workshops on nutrition, stress and time management?
What if people took a hammer to the T.V. screen or at least shut it off at 9?
What if you stopped even watching the news?
What if people avoided toxins rather than avoiding people that coughed (Super-charging your
immune system rather then wearing a mask)?
What if people ate actual food and supplemented the nutrients their foods lacked?
What if people went to sleep by 10pm?
What if people were as interested in each other as they were in who got kicked off American Idol?
A HEALTH PANDEMIC WOULD BREAK OUT - IT WOULD BE LIKE DOGS AND CATS LIVING TOGETHER, ANARCHY, INSANITY, SULPHUR DROPPING FROM THE SKY, WW3, LOCUSTS AND A TERRIBLE FLOOD. MY GOODNESS, AN ENTIRE WORLD OF HEALTHY PEOPLE. WHAT WOULD WE DO?
PEOPLE, POLITICIANS AND PERIODICALS DO NOT WANT A HEALTH PANDEMIC:
Drug companies would lose profits, hospitals would stop building big ugly new wings, doctors would drive a Ford instead of a Mercedes, they would sell fewer commercials during the news and people and their kids would lose out on skipping school or work because of "sick days."
BUT, aren't those small sacrifices to make for feeling great, living a long time, being there for your family, reaching your potential, fulfilling your purpose, avoiding fear and suffering?
HELP US TURN HEALTH INTO THE NEXT PANDEMIC PLAGUE RACING ACROSS THE WORLD AND INFECTING MANKIND. COME TO THE GENERATION MOVIE NIGHT ON MONDAY, JUNE 1ST @ 7:00 PM!
