The Secret to Giving Your Child the Winning Edge

You may not realize this yet, but your about to learn a secret that will give your child a huge advantage in life. If you are like me, you want to give your child the absolute best opportunity to excel. You want to give them the winning edge. By the time you finish this article, you will know one of the most powerful secrets to do just that.

As you read, you will learn from some of the top athletes in the world as they share how utilizing this secret has increased their performance and extended their careers. In other words, you will learn what has given them the edge.

This secret is going to blow your mind.

My wife and I have utilized this secret with my daughter ever since she was born. She just turned one year old and people have always commented on her concentration and awareness. They have even described her as “special,” “so advanced” and “amazing.”

Here is something that you will probably never hear from a parent. My daughter isn’t “special” or “advanced” or even “amazing.” The truth is, she’s normal. But because most parents do not utilize this secret with their children, compared to other children, she is special, advanced and amazing. You’ll understand this soon enough as you keep reading.


How Kids Become Less Special and Less Amazing

Did you know that OSHA (the Occupational Safety and Health Administration) recently released a study that said that by the time we are 13 years of age, we have had over 1000 traumas? Wow! 1000 traumas. Seems like a lot, huh? Almost unbelievable. Let’s explore this…

Did you know that the first major trauma in life is birth? Even in the best case scenario, it can cause incredible damage. In fact, in 1987, Dr. Gutmann, a German Manual Medicine Specialist, published a paper after he studied 1000 infants. What he concluded was that approximately 80% of all children are not in autonomic balance. What this means is that a large majority of our children are neurologically disadvantaged at the beginning of their life. In other words, their communications system is already out of balance.

Can you imagine? “Autonomic imbalance” is like having static in your phone line. You may be able to hear the communication, but you have to listen a lot harder with more effort. Yuck!

How else do we develop static in our communication system?

Did you know that 50% of our infants roll off of the changing table onto the floor?

According to Safe USA, “childhood falls account for an estimated 2 million Emergency Department visits each year.” Also, “in one year, approximately 7,000 children were sent to the hospital for falls from highchairs.”

Remember baby walkers? “Baby walker-related injuries resulted in more than 16,000 children receiving treatment in hospital emergency rooms.”

Now these are the major injuries that required emergency intervention. Just think of all of the injuries that our children go through that do not need emergency care. Remember, 1000 traumas before the age of 13.

Think about all of the falls and traumas that occurred while learning to crawl, learning to walk, roughhousing with other children, learning to ride a bike, sports or fights. Needless to say, you probably now understand how OSHA can state, “1000 traumas before the age of 13.”

Unfortunately, these traumas effect the communication system of the body. They add more static to the lines. As layers and layers of traumas happen, your child’s communication system, the Nerve System, is bombarded with signals from newly formed scar tissue and structural imbalance. This makes your child’s whole body less efficient. Do you remember learning in school how the your Nerve System runs everything? Now let’s get to the secret.


Understanding the Edge

You now understand that traumas to the body, especially the spine, creates static in the communication system. You now know that this static makes your nerve system work less efficiently. So, answer this question... Who has more of a winning edge, someone who is living life with an inefficient, static filled communication system or someone who has an efficient, clean communication system? You got it!

Wouldn’t it be amazing if your children had a clean, efficient communication system to work with? So, how do you keep your communication system efficient and clean, even though you start life with 1000 traumas? Let’s look at some of the superstars in sports that are already living at the winning edge.


What Is The Secret that Gives Sport Superstars the Winning Edge?

Many great sport stars have found the secret. It has helped them perform at high levels and extend their careers. Super achievers are always looking for that edge. These superstars in sports are going to share their secret in their own words. Their advantage can now be yours. While you read this, just imagine your child achieving like these superstars...

Tiger Woods, golfing superstar, said, “Being a chiropractor patient has really helped me immensely.” (Tiger Woods actually rode on the chiropractic centennial celebration float in the rose parade, 1995). He went on to say, "...lifting weights and seeing a chiropractor on a regular basis has made me a better golfer. I've been going to Chiropractors for as long as I can remember. It's as important to my training as practicing my swing.”

Seven Time Tour de France winner Lance Armstrong said, “I could not have won without my chiropractor’s help.” His chiropractor road along with him throughout the Tour de France. He would work on Lance and his team every night.

Legendary Heavyweight Boxer Evander Holyfield said, “I have to have an adjustment before I go into the ring. I do believe in chiropractic. I found that going to a chiropractor three times a week helps my performance. The majority of boxers go to get that edge.” I have witnessed on several occasions Heavyweight Champ Lennox Lewis being adjusted before a fight.

Home run star Barry Bonds said, “I go to my chiropractor on a regular basis, because I want to prolong my career as long as possible.”

Decathlon Gold Medallist Dan O’Brien said, “If it were not for chiropractic, I would not have won the gold medal.”

LaDainian Tomlinson called to ask Emit Smith ,the NFL’s all-time leader in rushing yards, about his longevity, how he'd rushed for 1,000 yards for 10 straight seasons. Smith's advice? Massages on Monday and Friday and ''find a good chiropractor.''

Have you noticed yet that every one of these athletes is (or was) the absolute top in their field. They all used the secret, chiropractic care, that gives them the winning edge.

Exercise Physiologist Dr. Sean Atkins said, “I would estimate that in excess of 90% of all world-class athletes use Chiropractic care to prevent injuries and to increase their performance potential.”

Now you know the secret that will give your child the winning edge. In a moment, you’ll learn the most powerful research that will prove it to you once and for all.


The Best Research that Proves the Secret that Gives the Edge

Here is one of the best scientific studies that proves that chiropractic care gives you the winning edge. Just check this out...

At the University of California, Irvine, researchers came together to measuring brain activity. They placed a subject into a functional MRI and asked her to move her foot. They recorded and measured how much brain activity (effort) was required to move her foot. They took her out of the machine and gave her a chiropractic adjustment. They then placed her back into the machine and measured how much brain activity (effort) was required to move her foot after the adjustment.

The results: Everyone stared at the results in amazement. Just imagine the look on the researchers’ faces when they discovered that it took 1/20th the effort to move her foot after the adjustment! That’s incredible! The communication system working 20 times more efficiently after the adjustment. From what I heard, all of the Ph.D.’s researchers lined up to be adjusted after they realized the results. Now you know why so many top athletes rely on chiropractic care for improving performance.

More importantly, now you know why your children need regular chiropractic care to give them that winning edge.

With all of these top athletes saying how they use chiropractic and this incredible research, do you think that your kids nerve system should be checked by a chiropractor?

Now, I can almost hear your mind saying, “My kid doesn’t have a back problem.” Imagine experiencing 1000 traumas. The truth is, your kid doesn’t feel his or her spinal problem, yet.

Get your kids checked now! Give your kids the winning edge.
