Wake Up
I just returned from a 4 day intensive camp in Florida. Yes, the weather was nice even with 3-4 hours of sleep per night. We had an amazing time training, planning and bonding with 50 of the WORLD's greatest healers this generation will ever know. One thing was true for every person in the group%u2026 we could not wait to get back to our towns, offices and families. You ask why???
READ the headlines in the last few weeks:
TUUSULA, Finland (AP)
"An 18-year-old gunman opened fire at his high school in this placid town in southern Finland on Wednesday, killing seven other students and the principal before mortally wounding himself in a rampage that stunned a nation where gun crime is rare."
By Kevin McCoy, USA TODAY JACKSONVILLE
"When Terry Paul Smith complained about the drug he'd been taking for back and leg pain, his doctor changed the 46-year-old roofer's prescription to methadone, a narcotic pain reliever. Smith filled the prescription at a Walgreens pharmacy here and took the first pills soon after returning to the long-term-stay motel where he'd been living with his wife and children. Within 36 hours, he was dead, curled up on the shower floor."

October 31, 2007 Chinese Chemicals Flow Unchecked to Market By WALT BOGDANICH
"China has an estimated 80,000 chemical companies, and the United States Food and Drug Administration does not know how many sell ingredients used in drugs consumed by Americans. The substandard formulations made from those ingredients often end up in pharmacies in developing countries and for sale on the Internet, where more Americans are turning for cheap medicine. China's health officials have known of this regulatory gap since at least the mid-1990s, when a chemical company sold a tainted ingredient that killed nearly 100 children in Haiti. But Chinese regulatory agencies have failed to cooperate to stop chemical companies from exporting drug products.
In 2006, at least 138 Panamanians died or were disabled after another Chinese chemical company sold the same poisonous ingredient, diethylene glycol, which was mixed into cold medicine."
This is only the beginning.
We could not sleep knowing that your friends, your families, you kids, your kids friends at school, your newspaper boy, the police department, YOUR mail handler%u2026.. are being led to slaughter. It is getting worse and will continue until you OPEN UP your mouth. YOU know the truth!!! You know people that we could help change their lives. Up until now, you may have thought that chiropractors worry about your back pain%u2026 think again.
What if that was your DAD who took a new pain med for his back pain and was dead in 36 hours and you did not speak up!!! What if that sick and stressed child went into your kids' school and brought a loaded gun. Heaven forbid a tragedy like that to happen in our town. We were with chiropractors this past weekend who lived right down the road from the Colorado Columbine school shooting.
This stuff is REAL and if we don't bond together and start raising up people to live in alignment with GOD's intentions these tragedies will get worse and closer and closer to home. How could you sleep with that burden on your heart. We all have a responsibility to speak up and save more lives. We need to stand in the gap of Medicine and Maximized living to save more lives. There is not a greater calling than that.
