SACJB'S FIRST ATLAS TREATMENT******
Well, today was interesting. Dr. Ricky said there is good news and bad news. The good news is that he found sublaxation. And the bad news is that I'm sublaxated. However, he said it was mild sublaxation. I'm not sure exactly what to think. the treatment was very fast and then he had me rest. I could not feel an immediate difference. but it kind of felt like i became a different person. I started to ''remember'' what it was like to be well. So it started to feel like it's coming back. I haven't remembered in a long time what it's like. so I thought I'm not sure if I'm well, but I feel it might be coming back but I just don't know. My shoulder was very sore when I layed down. And i noticed my legs started to get their memory back, started to remember what it was like to have blood flowing there. But then I could not notice anything else extremely better yet. I still feel like exerting myself and weights will be a problem. Dr Ricky said I should not do any lifting today though. He wants me well rested. I signed the special deal with today where I do $60 a week and come 3 times a week. So it will last up to 3 months or unless the xray shows I'm holding. I noticed as I got out of the office, the sun seemed brighter and certain things seemed more vivid, but not every color was different. But the uncomfortable feeling in the body was still there but I felt like I might be healing. I started to notice more and more what is wrong with the way I feel and how I want to feel. Then I noticed I felt a little more in tune with the present. And I started to crave a healthy diet. I started to ''remember'' more and more how I'm supposed to feel. But it was like maybe I'm getting there, maybe I'm not. And then I crossed the bay bridge. And holly molly! I looked over at the clouds by SF and the mountains! The clouds looked more colorful (wow! for a minute i forgot how to spell color) they were more colorful than I had ever seen!! And then I looked at a plane in the sky and it went into the clouds! Looked like a 3D action movie! And then I started to think to myself, maybe I like asian girls too. And then i started to wonder exactly why I'm so into the tall girl thing and for a moment I couldn't figure out why and wasn't obsessed. As of right now, I actually have some back pain that I haven't had in a while. And I do feel a bit exhausted and maybe want to rest. I am not cured yet. But I do think that something noticeable is going on. My limbs feel looser and lighter. I have not tried weight lifting yet, but he told me not too. I'm starting to remember more and more what it's like to be healthy. Well, folks, the good news is SacJB is scheduled for another treatment, friday, october 3rd at 2 pm in alameda. And he said he can hardly wait to see if it can further help him. It's like learning to walk again. today i had memories about how my body felt before and really really trying to see if it would come back to me. It almost did at times but then after kind of went back. So I hope it works!! Im still positve!

t
there were 2 breaths that i took that were perfect. One thing i did not mention is I took a leak today, it was VERY long. I mean you know how when you take a leak, the line of pee gets smaller? As mine got smaller and almost died down, I still kept going and going for a long time. Wouldn't stop. And then the air also seems different. like when i was a kid. so hopefully i keep getting well and better. I can not settle just for this.

Good good! You see this has done more for you than anything! You will begin to have cravings for what your body needs. Go with them. If you are thirsty drink. If you are hungry for an orange eat oranges. This is how it works. And stop calling it a treatment for God's sake. Call it an adjustment. You never call it a treatment because it adjusts the cause of the problem. A treatment is something that "treats" the symptom. And there is no such thing as a "mild" subluxation. It does not matter how far off you are. Even a little can cause major pressure. It is complicated to explain. And also be aware of RETRACING SYMPTOMS. This is when you begin to get symptoms that you had before as the body goes back along the path it took to get sick. But this does not happen all the time. But listen SacJB. I have to tell you. You sound calmer and less excited than I have heard you before. So just stay on track and stop saying treatments. You had an adjustment.

Look also you know how Ricky says "33 principles?" Well one of those principles is "There is no process that does not require time"

t
Ok, i just like that word i guess. Something is different. It's kind of like finding my way back home. Like i feel like I'm getting closer, but I don't feel like I'm all the way home. You know what I mean? Like i have this feeling, like oh yah!!! I remember how I'm supposed to feel! But then I didn't feel it a hundred percent. And so I'm telling myself, hmmm is this working?? It might, or might not. It's like ah hah!! maybe i think i just felt something good! but then it goes away quickly. and then the next moment I'm not sure. Kind of like riding a bike. at first your learning, and then going I'm doing it, I'm doing it! And then the next moment you can't balance. So I have my moments where I say to myself, whoa! what was that feeling? and then i can't find it no more. But whoah! That cloud and plain looked very cool and bright! Like i was at the Imax theater! but then the next moment, I go well.. I really don't know..

r
It's like when I was really really messed up on meds. I would have moments of ah hah! im getting better, and then back down. kind of like right now with my body, i will go wait, what was that good sensation? and then i feel like i lost it.

Just do what your body tells you too. If it says sleep then sleep. If it says eat fried chicken then eat fried chicken. Look Ok I will tell you a story. There was this guy I kinow. he was in the hospital crippled with arthritis. This old chiropractor was visiting someone in the bed next to him. The old chiropractor looked at the kid in the bed and said "When you are ready to walk call me" . So when the kid got back from the hospital he begged his parents to call. So they did. The kid got the upper cervical adjustments. After the first adjustment the chiropractor told the kid to listen to his cravings and to do what his body told him. This kid could not walk. So the kid had a craving for something weird. He craved a combination of beer, onions and lemon. He told his parents and they made it. He started to drink it and kept getting adjusted. Well back in those days they used to gine injections of Gold for arthritis a lot. Well the chiropractor also told the parents to get the kid up and walk him around to get him to try and use his feet. Well he kept getting adjusted and using the drink . Soon his toenails began to weep a black substance. They then fell off and the black stuff kept coming out. The doctors tested the substance and it was Gold sulfate. After a wile the toes stopped weeping the substance and the kid could walk better and better. You see the adjustment cleared the kid's ability to know what he needed. So the drink he took made him well. Like it acted as a corrosive to the toxins in the body. He totally recovered and he became a chiropractor. So you have to listen to your body. It knows what to do and will know more as you become more and more open. I mean all your nerves.

Well lobsang, you say there is no mild. but on the graph he showed different colors and mine were green. Red means high. and green means mild. yellow means small. Ah..You see Ricky is not telling you everything. You see the graph varies from day to day and hour to hour. That is why to really know anything you have to do a "pattern analysis". That means that you take readings a few times a day for a few days. You see you should only really adjust a patient when they are at their worst. Not when in the green. Now do not get me wrong. What Ricky is doing is fine. But the best effect is when the patient is in the red. All people will vary from green to red throughout the week. But the sicker person will be red more often. So in a way Ricky should have not adjusted you then. He should have brought you back for more readings before the adjustment. So Ricky is a bit off base. He should never have said "We will adjust you on wednesday". He should have said that he would take some readings on Wednesday and see if he will adjust you. But his way will work. Just not as well as the other way. I mean not as fast. Many of his adjustments will not be needed. You ONY adjust a patient when they are in a certain reading and green is not it. I mean I did this for 25 year for God's sakes.

r
why adjust ONLY when I need one? I mean I haven't felt good in years, so I would hate to drive down and they don't give me one. but the thing about the cravings. I'm not sure if believe ALL of that. I mean if i crave fast food, I don't see how that would help me. A lot of people crave junk food all the time then gain hella weight. But you did say take supplements before. which ones? Yah today i was in the car and the air at times seemed different, like more vivid and less dull, but still dull. But i started to think to myself, you know i kind of like girls with nice shapely legs. What is so good about a girl wearing heels to be tall all the time? I mean that's good quality i guess, but why does it ONLY have to be if they are tall? why do i have to always think about that all the time? why can't i enjoy a girl for being a girl and everything about her, not just height?

r
hah! yah i start to laugh at myself for a second at times. I realized, it's ok if you like some quality in girls like if they are a good height. But why like a girl JUST for her height?? There are so many other things. Why only like her for being tall? why only get turned on if she is tall? right now for some reason i keep thinking about girls legs.

Well you are not going to crave fast food when you are in alignment. You will crave what you need. And as far as you saying you do not want to drive down there and not get adjusted. Well that is too damn bad. You have to do things the right way or they will not work. And it has nothing to do with how you feel. It is if you are in a sick pattern on the machine. I mean you are going to get a decent adjustment. But if it is not the right time for the adjustment it does nothing. So I think SacJB that you are trying to have things on your terms. But you do not understand the method. And Ricky obviously does not explain things well but he probably can give a good adjustment. So ya if you argue and fight the system it will not work. We know what works. And if you are not going to listen to your body you will get no where. You shoule be happy when the doctor says you do not need an adjustment. Like I say I think you are trying to run the show and you do not know anything about it. And Ricky obviously does not know how to explain things and may be compromising his care. But you wanted the cut rate chiro. You got it. But he can still get you better with some guidance.

r
No i see what you are saying. but then if i don't need adjustment, doesn't that mean im already better? what im saying is i don't want to be classified as ''better'' until I'm truly better and know it. I don't want one day ricky says, your atlas looks perfect, but then deep down i still have the physical problem. kind of like when my primary xrays me and says your fine! then i feel stumped cuz they said i was fine and i know i am not. you get what im thinking? Wow! I just had another moment! I can't explain it! It's like my brain felt something come back! but then just for a second. Do you know what i'm talking about? It's this feeling. don't know how to fully describe it. It's like this ah hah! I just felt like when i was a kid! but then after i kind of forget and say huh.. now i don't feel it.

Look just shut the hell up and let the atlas correction do it's job. You are thinking too much and worrying. The only thing I will say is that all people have good and bad readings. But well people have good readings more and bad readings very rarely. And by the way I do not trust Dr Ricky for one minute. But I still think you will get good help. But I do not like the way he does business and I just do not trust him. There are things I can see and you cannot. But do not get me wrong. He can help you. He can correctly adjust you. But I just do not trust him on other levels.

r
wow! at certain moments like I just had, I felt a healing! Like whoah! I feel different! But then the fatigue comes back.
