"I used to suffer severe headaches and migraines on a daily basis, usually all day. I managed to work in an office because I had to. When I went home at the end of the day I would often close the shades and go to bed. I could not plan weekend events because I simply never knew how I was going to feel tomorrow. If there were a special event such as a birthday or wedding, I would begin to medicate myself two weeks in advance to give myself the best chance of making the event. Friends and fellow church-goers had been trying to get me to see Dr. Rick for some time before I finally gave in. Looking back, I don’t know why I waited. Within a month, I was headache free. I couldn’t remember what it was like to not feel pain. I could do whatever I wanted and not live in fear of the headache. This was a miracle for me, but the story does not end here. An opportunity came up for us to adopt a newborn baby girl not long after I began chiropractic care. This baby was particularly important to me and my husband because her mother is a relative. Tragically, her mother was also a drug user and did drugs during her pregnancy. If we could not adopt the baby she would have been put into the foster system since the biological mother was incapable of raising her. To keep a long story short, we did adopt her and she is doing fantastically. There is no sign of any effect of the drugs on her as of yet, and with God’s help, there never will be. We think that is because of the vast amounts of love and attention she gets from us, her real mommy and daddy. What does this have to do with chiropractic? The reality is that without chiropractic, I would still be nearly an invalid with headaches. I COULD NOT HAVE TAKEN CARE OF AN INFANT OR RAISED A YOUNG CHILD. THEREFORE, SHE WOULD NOT HAVE ANY OF THE OPPORTUNITIES IN LIFE THAT MY HUSBAND AND I WILL BE ABLE TO PROVIDE FOR HER. MY DAUGHTER’S LIFE IS POSSIBLE BECAUSE SOMEBODY MADE ME GO TO A CHIROPRACTOR. You need to tell everyone you know what you know about chiropractic. Who knows who’s life you will change too."

"December 1, 1992 Hello, My name is Andrew and I am a happy, healthy one year old. But I wasn’t so happy or healthy when I first met Dr. Rick a few months ago. I had been having problems with my ears for four months, I couldn’t sleep at night and I was miserable. We’d been to the doctor lots of times but nothing was helping. In fact, all the medicines the doctor had tried seemed to make me worse instead of better! Both the regular doctor and the Ear-Nose and Throat doctor said that if the antibiotics didn’t work, then they’d just have to put tubes in. Now my Mom and dad weren’t about to let them do surgery on me, especially since they had been reading and learned that tubes can cause more problems than they solve. My mom and dad did a lot of praying. Then my mom heard that sometimes babies who have a traumatic birth like mine have ear trouble. You see when I was born they used a vacuum extractor and forceps to pull me out. I guess all that yanking on my head, hurt my neck. She also heard that chiropractic care can be the answer. Now she was skeptical because she couldn’t imagine a chiropractor helping ear infections!?! But at that point she was willing to try anything!! Happily, a few weeks of adjustments and my ears were all cleared up. In addition, I no longer had a stiff neck or shoulders and my whole personality was happier. I have to tell all babies who have ear troubles, don’t let them give you tubes until you at least try chiropractic care first. After all, it can’t hurt and if you’re like me, you could be perfectly well with no drugs and no surgery. In my family, we thank God for Dr. Rick, because I feel better, my mom and dad are happier and sometimes, I even sleep through the night. Written by Barbara (the mother)"

"This is the story of Danette, a cute buck-toothed 2-1/2 year old blond little girl. I treated her before 1991, which means that she’s all grown up now, but since her family long ago moved out of southern California, I cannot get her first hand account of her care and results. However, they were so dramatic that I remember them well and wanted to share them with you. Her mother was the first patient in the family due to injuries in a car crash. During her care, she discussed the health of her children with me and told me that Dannette, and Dannette’s 4 year old brother, Sean, both had asthma. Dannette’s asthma was much worse, however. She quite literally was in the hospital at least every month during asthma attacks for breathing treatments and Epinephrine shots. Of course she was on daily medication and an inhaler, just like to one you see here. Her mom brought her two kids in to get checked for Subluxation. I found in both of them that the atlas bone, which is the first bone at the top of the neck, was stuck on the right side. I diagnosed her with a cervical (atlas) Subluxation. I asked mom if I could adjust her. I recall that mom was more than willing to try anything to help her child, but there are many parents out there who, even if they knew that chiropractic might help their children, would be afraid of letting a chiropractor adjust their child. I totally understand the leap of faith that it takes to allow me to adjust your child, but you must rest assured that it is perfectly safe and I would never do anything to your child that I would not, and have not, done to my own children. They have both been raised with regular chiropractic adjustments from infancy. I remember adjusting Dannette and Sean the first time. The atlas bone moved quite well with the usual associated audible or what might call a crack. Dannette did have a mild asthma attack between her first and second adjustments that did not require hospital attention. On the next visit a few days later I made the same adjustment, atlas from the right. I continued to treat Dannette, Sean, and their mom for many months after that before they moved out of the area. After that second adjustment, Dannette’s asthma attacks completely stopped, not a single one. Not only that, but Sean’s stopped as well. She stopped having to use the daily medication. She stopped the inhaler. She stopped the breathing treatments. She stopped the Epinephrine shots. She stopped having to endure the fear and panic of not being able to get air into her lungs. She stopped the panic her mommy and daddy felt every time they drove her to the hospital. Many lives were changed with that adjustment. Does this mean that every case of asthma is due to Subluxation? Of course not, but many are connected to Subluxation and the only way we will know is through what is called therapeutic trial. We must tell the story to others and provide an avenue for them to have their children get checked. Please help me tell the story of Dannette to your friends and family. Together, we can change many lives."
