Three wise men There is an ancient fable of three wise men that sat together discussing how to protect a very precious gift from man. They knew that man within their limited educated mind would attempt to manipulate it and erode the effectiveness and purpose of such a gift. They knew that man in his haste to usurp universal laws would attempt to rush a natural process and play havoc with the recuperative nature of innate that envelopes their very existence. They also surmised that man would lose sight of their grand goals by grasping only to the moment. As they toiled over their decision .. they thought long and deep for answers yet to be. They looked to the future and witnessed how man left the powers of healing to others. How they used inductive reasoning to answer a deductive process. How they feared the unknown when that which they feared was actually themselves. Their labors of thought increased as they agreed that man was hopeless to be left to themselves .. they needed guidance. As the three wise men reached their peak of concentration and drew weary .. they rested and left thought for later. In one dream .. a wise man looked deep within the oceans and awoke with a revelation .. hide the gift in the deepest oceans where man would never reach it. The second wise man in his most meditative moment was offered a vision of peaks .. the highest mountain tops where the gift could be hidden from human touch. As the wise men gathered and shared these thoughts they discussed each revelation. One wise man envisioned a machine that would penetrate the depths of the deepest ocean while the other viewed flying machines reaching to the heavens. There seemed to be no place safe to protect this wonderful gift from man. But as despair almost overcame them they reached a consensus of thought and the ultimate answer .. they would hide this precious gift deep within man himself. They collectively thought that man would never look within and those that reached it would be appreciative of such a gift and be sure to treasure and maintain the process .. the gift of Health and Wellness. We are so vulnerable to lose it .. those that run marathons as well as those couch potatoes .. those that meditate as well those in a state of constant stress .. those that exist on herbs and vitamins as well as those that have daily Mac attacks .. those that have a special relationship with their maker and those that believe not .. those that think good thoughts and others that chemically induce their state of being .. those that get adjusted as specific as possible and those that take meds for their maintenance of life .. we are all so vulnerable and not immune. My good friend Rick Blue, PhD is such a person. Daily exerciser .. marathon runner .. positive thinker .. psychologist with deep compassion and purpose for his work and just modestly overweight is a recent quintuple heart bypass surgical patient. As you hear so often .. if it can happen to him it can happen to any of us. The gift that creates life also destroys. He almost lost this gift but in our modern world of crisis medical magic .. he survived the surgery and within days was on his feet and home to recuperate. How can we conjure an answer to why? Why we have manipulated our food .. drink .. air. Why we have fouled our minds and weakened our hearts. Why our bodies that were meant to be temples have become tombs of stress and accelerated premature wear and tear. These wise men were naive to think that we would not reach deep within to erase eons of natural existence. They envisioned planes and submarines but they never envisioned the cruelty of man both to himself and his fellowman. They envisioned man being self reliant but never envisioned the grandiose means they would create to unravel the mysteries of life itself. As with all fables there is an antidote of truth and much to learn from them. What are the lessons? To me it is to preserve the essence of their mission. I will continue educating my patients that Health and Wellness is found within and maintain an office to adjust their multi-layers of inhibited self sustaining energy. I will also agree to disagree with others with varied approaches to similar means. I will continually marvel and appreciate the recuperative powers of the body and prod my patients and friends (Rick) to secure their future with patience and give their substance time to heal. As we enter a new year .. I resolve to balance my life both at work and home and find precious down time to recoup and share my energy. I will continually attempt to clear and clean my temple and energize it with the time remaining on my watch. I will try to be less fatalistic and more realistic that deep within me is the answer to Life and Health and strive to let it be free. I will remain humble and in awe of that which I know not but choose those mentors that touch me in kind. I conclude 2002 by thanking you for reading and sharing these with others.

Dr. Mike 845/362-6200 or email: backdoc3@optonline.net DC has a clinical question concerning osteitis pubis for anyone with an answer: DC has a case presented to him, osteitis pubis with a clinical history of ankylosis spondylitis. The patient concerned is a 52 year old active female, injury was suffered at child birth 28 years ago. She had previous surgical pinning of this joint. However radiographs sho no evidence of pinning or fusion for that matter. He believes she had a bone graft from the left ilium and that was placed at the symphysis pubis. What particular muscles would you be concentrating on? Any major orthopaedic tests? Pain relief strategies? Her latest x ray report stated: there were changes in osteitis pubis, there is a lack of normal cortical clarity of the SI joints, suggestive of minor inflammatory sacroiliitis...this is compatible with clinical diagnosis of ankylosis spondylitis. There is however, not evidence of AS across the SI joints. Hip joints appear normal. If you have dealt with a similar case, any of you experience in dealing with such a case would be most appreciated.Reply to: steve_copeland75@hotmail.com DC wants to purchase a Metrocom unit: Reply to: Aaghlara@aol.com or call 949-360-4230 Karl Parker Seminar in Las Vegas: KARL PARKER SEMINARS CELEBRATES SILVER ANNIVERSARY AT RIVIERA IN VEGAS FEB 6-9! 44 speakers and over 77 Life, Practice & License Renewal classes highlight the celebration of Dr. Karl Parker's over 25 years of continuing the legacy his father left him.
