Sit down and look at the glass. Think for a moment about the old saying: the pessimist sees the glass as half empty, and the optimist sees it as half full.

As you read ahead, you’ll come to realize that your health comes from within; it does not come from the outside. Once this concept sinks in, you’ll want to make self-healing an operating principle in your life. There are so many simple lifestyle options to help your body self-heal.

On March 14 I had the privilege of being on the Dr. Phil Show. Dr. Phil and I go way back - I was his chiropractor for 14 years.
