well don't write to him for a while cuz he might not take it seriously. But then maybe later on maybe make a polite letter and say that you may be interested and he just needs to explain czu you don't understand the situation. don't say like how could you do that. say like i really do want information. please come to this forum and explain a little about how you operate so we get a better understanding

Well somebody else has to do it. Because I already wrote him twice being a little angry. So someone else must do it. Oh God! Oh my God! Up with Cow Hollow Down with Ricky! I mean Ricky we could end up liking you but you DO need to explain.

Hi, Sorry for the delayed response, I had to wait for the activation email. This is Dr. Ricky and I am here to clarify some things with upper cervical chiropractic. I’m not sure how much everyone knows about upper cervical chiropractic, so I’ll start there. First, the body is a miraculous being, in that it can heal itself and that it knows what to do, when to do it and how to do it. Because there is an inherent organization to how the body works, there needs to be a control center for this organization. The control center of the body is the brain. Without the brain, your body cannot control, organize and coordinate all of its functions. Also, the brain and the body need to communicate perfectly and without any interruption for the body to function efficiently and in perfect coordination. If the first bone in your neck is misaligned or not moving the way it was meant to move, it will cause pressure on the spinal cord, especially the brain stem in particular. Because this area is where the head and neck meet and all communication between the brain and the body must pass through here, this area is of utmost importance for health. The next logical question is whether or not you have an interruption of the brain to body communication causing an inefficient and uncoordinated functioning body? The second question that comes up is whether you are searching for wellness and health or are you searching for pain relief and symptom relief? No upper cervical doctor can tell if a person has interference in his/her brain body communication without doing a physical exam or any other protocol he/she may need to fully evaluate a patient. Secondly, a misalignment at where the head and neck meet, atlas and axis (first and second bone in the neck), cannot be evaluated without the use of x-rays. BJ Palmer speaks of torqued subluxation in the green books and in his writings; this is what an upper cervical chiropractor looks for in the x-rays. It is a 3-D misalignment of the first bone in your neck. Every person is unique in his/her misalignment and each adjustment is specific for that person. When the misalignment is corrected, healing messages are able to travel from the brain down into the body, and healing may begin. This healing process varies for each person and for each situation. Not all healing takes place over night, sometimes it may take months or years. Essentially, “there is no process which does not require time” (Principle #6 from the 33 Principles). Now, if you are in search of health and wellness, upper cervical chiropractic is perfect for you. The goal of the upper cervical chiropractor is correct the misalignment at where the head and neck meet restoring the communication between the brain and the body, and to have the adjustment hold. The time for this to happen varies with each patient, sometimes it may be 3-4 months, sometimes years. For example, it took me over a year to hold an adjustment, but I got relief in a month. If I stopped seeing my upper cervical doctor, would I have continued to get better? I don’t know for sure, but I’m pretty sure that I wouldn’t have. Also, my experience tells me that if a patient, with migraines for example, gets under care, gets results, but decides to stop on his/her accord, the migraines come back (but worse than before). Was he/she really getting well? Is he/she really holding an adjustment? Is it in the best interest for that patient to stop care because his/her migraines were temporarily relieved? The average time it takes for a person to truly hold an adjustment is about 6 months depending on the patient and other extenuating circumstances. The goal of upper cervical chiropractic is to get patients to hold their adjustments, not for a week or two but for months and to years. Therefore, I recommend that patients continue for 6 months time at the beginning of care. This is a general recommendation without any further information on the patient’s condition, health history, physical exam or x-rays. It is in no way an obligation to the patient to be bound to my office for 6 months. Some patients come and go, but they are also the patients that complain the most about why their care isn’t getting the response they want and why it’s taking so long to get well. It is purely in the best interest of the patient’s health that I recommend 6 months care, but they do not need to follow my recommendations. Additionally, after 6 months the patient has the option of getting checked occasionally to see if they are holding their adjustment. If they are, then we know that the body is functioning as efficiently as it can. If not, then they will get adjusted, so their brain to body communication can be restored and healing can begin again. Lastly, regardless, if you find my office a “rip off”or a “scam,” I do hope you seek upper cervical chiropractic care (regardless in my office or with another upper cervical chiropractor). I am confident that it will help you get results.

Yes Dr Ricky... But things are not adding up. Why would you sell the patient a package of 50 visits before even examining them? Why did you tell SacJB that? Yeah..Dr Ricky we all know about the torqued subluxation. We knew of that before you were born. Why is it that BJ was able to get a person straight with a few adjustments? I mean for God's sake Dr Ricky! 50 visits! Sold in a pre paid package? Before you even know there is a subluxation? And also Dr Ricky lets say there is a family of 5. They all want care. How in the hell can they afford those fees? I mean my God man. The price you charge for films. X ray film is cheap. And you are very young. Still in diapers. What would Reggie Gold say? What would BJ say? What about finding it and fixing it and leaving it alone?? Dr Ricky? So Dr Ricky it is the 50 visit package that is the issue. It just does not sound right. So why don;t you explain it? Also I have a question Dr Ricky. What is the difference between Innate Intelligence and Universal Intelligence? What is the difference between a universal force and an Innate force? We were discussing these things and we need a professional answer. And lastly Dr Ricky...Who was Sleepy Ikey? And Ricky..I find it telling that you fail to mention that people also get better very fast...Very fast. You talk about years. I don't like you saying that to SacJB. I mean the thing is here is the selling to the patient of %) visits before you even have any index as to how much they need. That is the issue. Not your care or the quality of it or anything else. I mean personally I find it a little loopy that you are using a computer colour scanner instead of a analagraph. But that is your business. I think it is good you are adjusting Knee chest. But the thing is that %)n friggen visits before you EVEN know if the patient needs them is just very suspicious! So please address the above questions. Because with any luck we can get you up from below the bottom and if and only IF you turn your as aroundf I might just give you something of BJ's to have... So what about the 50 visits Ricky?

And also I really resent this crap Ricky with you insinuating that if a person starts care and gets relief if they stop the problem like migraines may come back worse than before! That is scaring people! It is not right and it is not true. Good God Man!

Hey Ricky! Do you have a girl friend? I am really hot and I live in Pacifica. I am all into natural stuff and I work out on the zig zag path. I am young and really cool. I am kind of sacjb's girlfriend but he might not want me. Just let me know if you want to hand out. But I would need to ask sacjb if it is OK.

s
lobsang, 33 priciples is not you right? I can find out by calling dr ricky if that was him.

Oh no I promise. Just e mail or call him if you have any doubts. It is Ricky. I promise. Just e mail him and ask him to answer.

I mean listen SacJB. See how ricky says that if you come to him and feel better but then stop the problem may come back WORSE than before. You see how tricky? So you will not stop once you feel better. I mean you should go for care even after you feel better but he should not try and scare people. It is sneaky. But I do want Ricky to come back so I can see how much he knows. But no...It is him. Just call or e mail him. I fool around sometimes. But not with this. I would never mess with your health. I promise.

one of the signs of having an upper cervical problem was that i thought the reason i was weak once, maybe had to do with my neck. I thought my neck was out of alignment cuz i noticed sometimes it took a lot of effort just to keep the neck standing up straight. They always say in karate i think, that the core is your center or something? but i think that everything really goes back to the cervical.

The atlas is the weak link in man. It causes almost all diseases by blocking the flow of energy from the brain to all parts of the body. And most of the time there are no signs or symptoms. Your life is just drained away.

r
I can't believe i have felt my life drained away physically since 19. at 18, was in the best shape of my life. but then focused on business in excel, stopped working out, then put on a ton of weight. then the business crashed and i was doubled on seroquel. In 08, regained lots of my life. feel better in many ways. Got off the 7 year med addiction with the Detox Center of scientology, then lost most of the weight. But the physical problem with muscles didn't improve much. and then came the extreme dizziness and head aches. So what it seems like is that the problem was never fixed. Changing my diet, working out and all that just made things better around that problem. But the specific problem didn't change much. It's like this feeling where your whole body will not let itself exert very hard when trying to exercise or lift weights. and when it does it feels uncomfortable like the body is tearing itself up. feels like something is blocking the energy flow. and most people say, OH do you take a vitamin? have allergies? do you get 8 hours of sleep? only 7? maybe that's the problem? do you eat vegetables? when was the last time you worked out? OR... is it in your head? See? These people just don't get it! It's a problem that is not in my control, like a disorder, like a demon that won't let me do what i want. do you know what i'm trying to say? most people have a hard time understanding what i'm saying.

Look. I know exactly what you are saying. All the functions in the body are controlled by nerved. All the nerves come from the brain. The atlas is where all the nerves can be compressed. Every nerve in the body. It is just a small hole and any shift in the atlas and you are sick and weak. I have seen it a zillion times. You are blocked. It is like stepping on a hose and the water stops flowing. Study carefully the following..

r
yes, i believe it. It's just that i got treatment from the regular chiro. and yes, this one is different, but it's just i tried everything and always thought THIS is the one! This one will work! and THIS is the last time i will have to spend money. did you get in by hand? by whom? how did it feel while doing it? and how long did he do it.
