MacLeod Chiropractic Center Our bodies are programmed for health but in the abscence of the necessary raw materials for the expression of health, our bodies have no choice but to adapt to our lifestyle and that adaptation may result in sickness and disease. Because the body is also programmed for survival it will create these illnesses in order to provide us with the time to change our lifestyle. How intelligent!
Dr. Lee graduated in 1924 from Marquette University Dental School in Wisconsin. While attending the university, the importance of nutrition became his primary interest. A paper he prepared in 1923 outlined the relationship of vitamin deficiency to tooth decay and showed the necessity of vitamins in the diet. His research led to the development of CATALYN, a vitamin concentrate derived from whole foods. Introduced in 1929, CATALYN became the nucleus of a complete line of nutritional supplements at Standard Process.

Studies show that combined with a healthy diet, herbs and nutritional supplements are still required to root out the deep seated toxins and heavy metals we have acquired since birth, and also can help with the need for cleansing periods that may arise from time to time. In fact, with a whole food diet and a combination of nutritional supplements you will find that your health and overall constitution is improving all the time and that
YOU ARE IN CONTROL OF YOUR HEALTH AND OVER ALL WELL-BEING.
We feature Dr. Royal Lee's "Standard Process" Organic Nutrients. Dr. Royal Lee, founder of Standard Process (1929), was a pioneer in the field of nutrition (some consider him the world's greatest nutritionist). His processing techniques are even today far beyond what anyone else is doing in the supplement industry. Dr. Lee was always many years ahead of his time.
DISEASE is not the presence of something evil but the LACK OF something essential.
Dr. Lee believed the key to maintaining the quality of nutritional supplements was a unique manufacturing process. He designed high-vacuum, low-temperature drying equipment to preserve the living enzyme systems of the whole foods. These technologies continue to be used today.
The following quote from Dr. Lee was made in 1933: “Candy, all white sugar or its products, and white flour including its products such as macaroni, spaghetti, crackers, etc., should be absolutely barred from the diet of the child. All these are energy-producing foods that contain no building materials for the body.
The consequences of their toleration are susceptibility to infections, enlarged tonsils, carious teeth, unruly dispositions, stunted growth, rickets, maldevelopment and very often permanent damage to many organs of the body, the brain and especially the endocrine glands that depend upon the vitamin supply for their normal function and development.”

"Dr. Lee’s work was actively suppressed and his genius did not have the opportunity to become as widely known. It is time for the works of Dr. Lee to be evaluated, not in the dim light of the era in which he lived, but by the most rigorous standards that current research can illuminate."
Realize that your innate potential is just waiting to be released. Let's get rid of the interferences - subluxations (misalignments), negative thought patterns, bad habits, excuses and allow our bodies to express what we were meant to - TOTAL HEALTH!
What’s the main difference between wellness care and standard medical care? Wellness care seeks to turn on the natural healing ability, not by adding something to the system, but by removing anything that might interfere with normal function, trusting that the body would know what to do if nothing were interfering with it. Standard medical care, on the other hand, seeks to treat a symptom by adding something from the outside: a medication, a surgery or procedure.
Inside Out 
Outside In
If a patient has high blood pressure, a standard medical approach would be to choose a drug that lowers blood pressure, and ask the patient to take the drug. This may serve to lower the blood pressure, but ignores the underlying cause that is making the blood pressure high, and runs the risk of side effects complicating the person’s recovery. Whether it’s a nutritional issue, faulty control by the nervous system or a manifestation of stress, the medication could decrease the blood pressure, leaving the problem causing the symptom of high blood pressure unaddressed.
The Wellness Approach
Wellness is a state of optimal conditions for normal function… and then some. The wellness approach is to look for underlying causes of any disturbance or disruption (which may or may not be causing symptoms at the time) and make whatever interventions and lifestyle adjustments would optimize the conditions for normal function. That environment encourages natural healing, and minimizes the need for invasive treatment, which should be administered only when absolutely necessary.
When the body is working properly, it tends to heal effectively, no matter what the condition. When the body heals well and maintains itself well, then there is another level of health that goes beyond “asymptomatic” or “pain-free” which reveals an open-ended opportunity for vitality, vibrant health, and an enhanced experience of life.
This is true for mental and emotional health as well as physical health. While some people may suffer psychological disorders, creating an atmosphere of mental and emotional wellness will address all but the most serious problems.
