The point of this compilation of facts is to teach you that if you want to live a life like everyone else, and die like everyone else, just do what they do.  Medical research and the Bible both agree that we should live to have 80-120 healthy years!  The Average American plan is a recipe for an early demise.  Look at your life compared to the average.  Maybe it is time to make a few changes.  Eat better than average, stop watching TV so much, try exercising more, and if you've got spinal stiffness/ tightness/ or back or neck pain... consider an evaluation at our offices.  Think about how God gave the body an ability to heal itself (if we don’t destroy it first) before reaching for a drug.  My Partners and I thank you for allowing us into your life.
