Because of the tireless efforts of the chiropractic profession, the guidance of the Board of Directors of the Oklahaven Children’s Chiropractic Center, its staff, and volunteers, the center is celebrating 56 years of serving the most profoundly hurt children. Most of all, we acknowledge the parents who believed in their children and worked hard to restore them to health through the chiropractic way of life. It takes immense courage for a parent to see the spirit of a child and to begin the journey to regain health.
The empirical knowledge, observes nature before theories are developed, what we have gained is that the body will balance and reorganize itself no matter how sick and neurologically disorganized. What excites us is watching this incredible natural force—the innate intelligence of the body—not only return the children to health, but also allow them to reach their optimal potential and give back to life with responsibility. We know that what we see is far beyond modern scientific belief or understanding. If modern scientific research observed what was really happening, why would they label children, limiting them, and drugging some who end up with unresponsive looks in their eyes? Millions of children are suffering from devastating illnesses. It is now time for us to share with the world the valuable lessons we’ve learned.
The earlier in a child’s life that he or she is put on the natural path, the faster and more enduring the restoration of health will be. Every cell is always striving for perfection to reach its full potential. The body, with time, develops more complicated performance. If subluxation is ignored, imbalance can manifest into more severe symptoms continuing to affect the child’s function and well-being.
The first turn of the downward spiral of illness or poor health is dis-ease, or lack of ease within the body. Disease can manifest in many ways indicating that there is disharmony within the body. An example is eating food that does not nurture a child’s internal terrain or cellular level. Nutrients reach the cells to build our bodies. If the nutrients are not bioavailable, they do not have the ability to enter the cells to build the body. With time, the body becomes toxic and reabsorbs the toxins, causing bowel problems, skin problems, asthma, autoimmune

illnesses, and cancer. If the core energy is strong, the body can eliminate the toxins.
If a toxic condition is allowed to persist, the body weakens, manifesting in a hypoor hyperactive state and begins the downward spiral of health. Dis-ease will manifest within the body and will progress into dis-order. At this point, the child’s behavior will become unpredictable and symptoms will drive his or her life as well
as that of the parents, such as sensory disorders on the autism spectrum. Ultimately, the child’s body becomes so weak and ailing that he or she exhibits dis-function. The sensory system becomes dis-organized and the output is totally inconsistent.
To reverse this trend, the upward spiral to regain a child’s health includes regular chiropractic adjustments, maximizing nutrition of fresh, whole foods, exercise, fresh, pure water, and a calm environment. Those are all essential to allow for body restoration. With the integrations, you will see the centerline of the body become stronger. First, the light returns to the eyes and the expression of the face. The spiral will not happen in an upward linear line, but spiral outward, feeling like being on a roller coaster. The body incorporates the changes spiraling to the next—movements are more coordinated and eye-hand coordination, fine motor control, standing still, and language improve. For the profound, they will become age appropriate, more aware, happier, and then intelligence emerges as well as humor. Over time, as you begin to see health in this new way, these new concepts will become a lifestyle that results in true health.
As children progress on this journey to wholeness, they will experience a new state of robust health, which they may never have known before if they have been subluxated since birth. Once they experience real health,
they will begin to make healthier eating choices, better life choices, and appreciate the power of the life force connecting to their higher self/soul. The self-discipline you worked hard to develop in them will emerge and they begin the upward spiral as they realize their full potential. Parents say it has taught them to trust and listen to their hearts. Staying in the moment and being grateful, knowing the child is healing—the past is the past, the future is a mystery.
Regaining a child’s health is a spiritual journey that enables him or her to overcome incredible physical problems to reach his or her optimum potential. Parents learn to trust innate intelligence, the source of all healing—the life force of God that maintains all life. They learn to live with the greatest secret of life—love.
