I wanted to relay a few of the most impacting experiences of personally adjusting more than 1000 people in five days. We are both still processing the impact of this life changing week.
The site that I was adjusting did not have any interpretors so I can only share a few things that I saw with my own eyes. I worked with a man that I presumed had Parkinson´s as his arms and legs tremored as he was on the table. He is pictured above in the blue shirt. As I was working with him, a lady from the crowd, who was helping out, started making a comotion. She was pointing to his feet, which were calming down right in front of everyone. By the time he was done, his hands and feet which were dramatically shaking, were STILL.
I adjusted another boy, who was mentally challenged. He had a colostomy bag and all. Two days later, I was given a very poor translation from his mother. She was talking about some heart condition he had for 8 or 9 years, I presume to be a murmer or something. It had stopped since his adjustment.
I had the opportunity to visit an orphanage with Lou and Lydie, the coordinators of the trip. The kids at the orphanage were often born to drug addicted mothers, had terminal illness, and or were malformed. I was adjusting one little girl about the age of 2 that had a shunt, but looked otherwise normal. She was walking around in a circular walker which she did not need, by I presume it was a good baby sitter. A few seconds into our encounter, she leaned over and gave me a precise, angelic peck on the nose. She proceeded to do this 2 more times during the encounter. She was jibber jabbering and smiling during our couple of minutes together. The workers at the orphanage spoke portuguese and she was not old enough to speak. As I was about to finish with her, she very distinctly repeated the phrase, "All better" about seven times. I was absolutely blown away. Right after that, Lydie interpreted from the workers that the little girl had a massive brain tumor. I believe I would have been very devastated at this news, but I was given a gift by this girl with her statement and felt at total peace with this news.
These are only stories of three out of thousands and thousands of people who were adjusted by the AdJustWorld team over the week. The lives of these people were drastically changed in just ONE MOMENT through the POWER OF CHIROPRACTIC! This week offered me a glimpse of what is in store for my career in chiropractic. The body has amazing abilities and chiropractic can help unlock the magic inside all of us. I was relaying a story to an american we met yesterday and he asked, "What kind of adjustment was it?" The answer is, IT WAS A CHIROPRACTIC ADJUSTMENT.
Don´t you think you should get adjusted?

YESSSSSSSS! Thank God for you, and thank God for chiropractic! Congratulations on making a difference, one adjustment at a time. Take care of each other! Love, Bid
Must comment again...I took some time to look close up at the photos, and they are AMAZING! The emotion that comes through the pictures is overwhelming. Jacob's head touching the head of the little one, the little one in the crib touching his face, Maura's closed eyes right before the adjustment of the man in the blue tee sitting in the chair...and the crowds and crowds of people WAITING IN LINE for their "free gift". Love, Bid
