The Hypothalamic Reset Technique
Listen or watch on your favorite platforms
Dr. Michael Chance is part of a four-generation chiropractic family. He has been in practice for over 40 years in Gainesville, Florida. When he grew up, he wanted to be like his dad. A chiropractor who helped people every single day.
In his own practice, Dr. Chance realized that Chiropractic doesn’t cure any disease. Only your own body can cure itself. Chiropractic helps remove the obstacles that prevent the body from healing itself. These obstacles can be structural, chemical, or emotional. That’s why his practice incorporates Chiropractic adjustments (structural), nutrition and HRT (chemical), and NET (emotional).
Dr. Chance’s focuses mainly on the Hypothalamic Reset Technique and its coordination with other parts of the nervous and endocrine systems.
Today we will discuss the Hypothalamic Reset Technique and how it relates to the mind and the body.
0:00
okay Dr chance welcome to True Hope cast thank you so much for being with me today with for being with us how are you
0:07
what's going well oh everything's going well just got back on the from vacation
0:12
was floating around the southern seas and around Tahiti for two weeks and uh just pretending to be a fish and
0:18
hopefully the fish wouldn't realize that I was you know not a predator and just let me float with him for a while so got
0:25
to see the Southern Cross being in the Southern Hemisphere and the Milky Way and chilled out and got my batteries
0:32
recharged to come back to finish out the year beautiful that sounds lovely lovely well can you let us know a little bit
0:39
about who you are and what it is that you do please sure so I am a chiropractor and I come
0:46
from a fourth generation Chiropractic Family actually my grandmother and grandfather started Palmer College of
0:54
Chiropractic 100 years ago this year so in 1922 they started Chiropractic
1:01
College and then my my father and my uncle both became chiropractors myself
1:07
my older brother and my younger brother are both chiropractors two of my sons
1:13
are chiropractors and two of my nephews and I have a cousin in Australia and then my one son who's a chiropractor
1:19
married a chiropractor a lady chiropractor we have you know I think we
1:24
all drank the Kool-Aid you know we all said we were going to do different things I was going to law school and
1:30
going to be a United States Senator and my uh my son was going to go to medical school and whatever draws us to things
1:39
and uh is what is our in our Essence we were all drawn back to Chiropractic and
1:45
and I'm glad every day that that's what I'm doing so the traditional
1:51
Chiropractic practice is mostly structurally oriented but D.D Palmer and
1:57
when he wrote the book The Chiropractic adjuster in 1910 said besides structure there is also
2:03
biochemicals what you call toxins and also Auto suggestion which is emotional
2:09
and so applied kinesiologies which is the way I evaluate systems believes in
2:15
this Triad of Health structure chemical and emotional and imbalances can come
2:20
from any one of those sides of the Triad you can mean any condition I can tell you a structural reason I can tell you a
2:27
chemical reason and I can tell you an emotional reason how do those three things align with
2:33
like conventional medicine especially that emotional piece well you know you what happens I I think
2:40
the main problem with modern medicine today is over specialization uh used to
2:46
be in the United States back in the 1950s you had a family doctor he knew
2:51
about you he knew about your kids he you lived in a small community he knew your crop was late your mortgage was due and
2:58
your kid was in jail he knew something about what was going on with you now these days what happens and you have all
3:03
these Specialists you go in you say you know my right elbow hurts and they say well we need to have you say the
3:09
orthopedist well you're also getting some radiation of pain down the arm well you probably need to see the neurologist
3:14
but well it's swollen too well you probably need to see the rheumatologist and you know besides that I've got some
3:19
digestive upsets they get you to the gastroenterologist and if nobody can figure you out they assume that it must
3:26
be in your head and they send you to you know the psychologists so there's nobody
3:31
traditionally that's looking at the whole picture and so I see my place in
3:37
in in this whole system is somebody who sits back and listens and in one of my
3:43
forms it says when's the last time you felt good and what was happening were you going
3:49
through a divorce were you starting a new medication did you have a trauma and so so often you can see when a
3:57
particular problem starts there is an aggravating factor that triggers it now
4:03
I also believe in what's called genetics and epigenetics I think each of us when
4:08
we were born were given a hand of cards by our parents who got their hand of cards from their parents who got it from
4:14
their parents and so there's Tendencies to have depression there's Tendencies to
4:19
have anxiety there's Tendencies to diabetes your tendency for all of these things to occur based on the genetics
4:25
you were given but then what happens is they may lie dormant and not cause a
4:31
problem until something comes along and triggers them and so there's an interesting um they they always thought that the
4:38
nuclear material around the cell that wasn't part of the cell itself they even labeled a DNA junk and they now know
4:47
that that DNA junk is 4 million switches that turn on and off the cell and so we
4:53
think that it is in the hypothalamus where these switches get turned off because of some type of stressor a
5:01
chemical stress and emotional stress or physical stress that's super interesting I wanted to
5:07
certainly talk about the hypothalamus because I know that's a lot of your a lot of your passion a lot of your work goes into that especially with something
5:13
called the hypothalamic reset technique um and I find it so interesting in
5:18
regards to your your what you're saying to me about the how we've specialized so
5:24
much that it's actually severed that Dr patient relationship because yeah as you were saying like I think that's so
5:30
fascinating that when we were in smaller communities your doctor would certainly know about the intricate parts of your
5:35
life which without question change your emotional experience and therefore you
5:41
know your physical body as well so very very interesting um point that is but before we jump into
5:48
the HRT can you just lay the foundation the groundwork for me in regards to like what is the hypothalamus why it's
5:55
important and maybe you can reconnect a little bit about that um the junk DNA
6:00
switches on and off piece you were just referring to sure so the hypothalamus is called the
6:06
brain of the brain the things it controls is amazing this isn't my idea you can look up WebMD any of the
6:14
medical journals and what it does it controls neurotransmitters it controls moods it controls appetite and digestion
6:21
it controls the endocrine system thyroid pituitary adrenals they control sleep
6:26
cycles it controls anxiety depression it controls so many things and so when
6:33
these switches get turned off that's a term I use these switches get turned off then in balances that were there
6:40
genetically tend to reappear what we think happens is probably the
6:46
best definition is it's cell receptor resistance just like with a type 2
6:53
diabetic the insulin may be there but the body can't utilize it the cell has
6:58
been turned off to the utilization of the insulin we think that also happens
7:04
with neurotransmitters that would affect depression we think it happens with mineral absorption we think
7:10
it happens with zinc and digestive imbalances we think that all those food allergies where people can't eat wheat
7:17
can't eat dairy can eat nuts can't eat all those things are really in balance with the body's ability to digest those
7:24
foods and it comes down to zinc so and then the endocrine system we see so many
7:30
people that will give an example of imbalances that occur when something
7:36
happens with their cycle let's take a a woman a a young lady and she's 14 years
7:42
old and she has the genetics of the father of having some ADD ADHD
7:48
neurotransmitter problems and all of a sudden the hormonal cycle starts and she
7:53
becomes hyperthyroid medically they want to destroy her thyroid with Synthroid put her on destroy the thyroid with
8:02
radioactive iodide and puteron Synthroid and so what has happened is those cell
8:09
receptors have been turned off to the absorption of iodine so we reset a neurotransmitters we reset her iodine
8:16
and in one visit she was normal she didn't have to have her thyroid destroyed you know on the other end you
8:23
can have a woman who said you know I never felt well after the birth of my
8:29
second child what happened cell receptor the body sees this hormonal dramatic change
8:35
occurring with birth it thinks the hormones of the problem and it turns off the switches to the hormones and so what
8:41
you have to do is reset the connections for the control of the hormones and the hormones themselves and we see that all
8:49
the time when people will tell us I felt fine until there was an event and a hormonal event
8:54
menopause starting a variety of things like that so the hypothalamus being the the brain
9:02
of the brain and you believe like a lot of the disorders that we see within our
9:08
culture that are just getting more prevalent are a result of maybe like the body at a cellular level not being able
9:14
to accept or receive these you know very normal chemicals be that neurotransmitters absolutely absolutely
9:21
that is the foundation of my belief is that there's cell receptor sensitivity
9:27
that is caused by some event now it usually is going to trigger whatever
9:33
your weak link is it's like an example if you took 10 people and you subject
9:38
them to stress and four people got headaches and three people get ulcers and two people got hives if you took
9:45
them 20 years later and subjected the stress the same people who got headaches would get headaches say people got highs
9:51
would get highs the same people that got ulcers would get ulcers people have a genetic tendency and so what happens
9:59
with this is it's not random once I know the genetics of the family I
10:05
can almost predict what's going to happen because you know that's where there can that's where their weakness
10:11
lies and that's really telling of course if you're able to like as a family doctor
10:17
be able to recognize through generations of of the family like that's obviously a very very important pieces of
10:23
information and we obvious obviously see you use the example of type 2 diabetes
10:28
we see the how the body can actually down regulate receptors to to not
10:33
receive and not be able to saturate the cell with insulin for example as it like normally would so we obviously see that
10:40
phenomenon in the body and would you say like um stress is like a prime
10:48
um driver of that down regulation for whether that is absolutely absolutely
10:53
and it can be emotional stress it can be chemical stress or it can be physical stress can be any of those any of those
11:00
things and what we have you know we go back to genetics I have been in practice 44 years and in my first year of
11:06
practice I noticed genetics I had a family we used to have a family plan if you bring in all four members of your
11:12
family at the same time I'll charge you one fee will keep you healthy and in this particular family
11:19
the mother and the son looked the same they had darker skin they had darker hair and had every imbalance known to
11:25
man they ever had allergies to weed to Dairy to everything and the father and the daughter looked the same it looked
11:31
like they're from Norway they had light-skinned blonde hair nothing hardly ever wrong with them the mother and the
11:37
son were the same the father and the daughter were the same and now we can quantify it you can look at these
11:43
genetic symptoms surveys I used to before I was smart enough to figure out the genetic symptoms survey if there was
11:50
a very difficult patient I would say can you send a symptom survey to your son to your daughter to your to your sister and
11:56
let me see what runs in the family instead of having to do that now I have a symptom survey that says do you have
12:02
any neurological disorders such as depression anxiety ADD ADHD how about
12:07
your father's family mothers family siblings or children and it goes through that for about eight or ten different
12:13
things including digestion anxiety insomnia
12:19
thyroid endocrine issues and so if you can see what the Tendencies are you can
12:25
pretty much know where to start because what we do is like bowling if you hit
12:31
the head pin you get a lot of points you know almost with every patient that comes in my office I'm going to get
12:37
points sometimes I don't know where the head pin is because I don't have enough
12:42
information and so if I have all the information I'm pretty good at figuring out where it's coming from but there's
12:49
often especially men tend to be non-disclosers you know I asked this
12:54
gentleman this is about a couple of weeks three weeks ago if he had any problems with the depression or and
13:01
anxiety and he said I know and his wife turns through and says what do you mean she said well I've got it under control
13:07
how about anybody in your family know she says well how about your sister she committed suicide because of depression
13:13
your son's bipolar he's ignoring all of these signs and the clues that would
13:18
give me see what else to do yeah and so that's wild yeah it is and uh he's
13:27
obviously not disclosing that information to you luckily yeah within his own reality like within his own mind
13:33
he's probably you know not not taking that as a as reality either so that's
13:38
that's a very interesting process for men I mean talking about mental health or even Sexual Health with a man it's not an easy thing to do in a in a
13:45
practitioner sense or it's not something we're super comp super comfortable talking about yeah I teach this stuff
13:51
and I I have a symptom survey filled up by Michael from South Florida and I show that symptom survey and then I show a
13:58
symptom survey filled out by Michael with the assistance of his wife it does not look the same at all what do you
14:05
mean you don't have that you complain about that all the time you know so women are taught to pay attention for
14:11
the most part I'm I'm making a generalization but but you know a little
14:16
boy he falls down he's playing soccer he he uh he uh scrapes up his knee it's
14:22
bleeding a little bit his father rubs the dirt off and says get back in there and uh you know you know no pain no gain
14:29
you know like a mentality football military mentality and a little girl oh poor baby come here let me give it a
14:35
kiss and put a pink Band-Aid on it the women are mostly paid are taught to pay
14:40
attention to symptoms and men are taught to ignore them and I've done it myself I almost killed myself a few times in
14:47
athletics uh literally uh because I've ignored warning signs that the body was
14:53
trying to give me so that example you gave of the um the Sun and I think you said the sun
15:00
and the the dad or and the mum and the you know the Lord and the father and the daughter okay so the and you said the
15:07
the the mum and the son were the ones who had all these conditions and all these issues going on right so what's
15:13
the what's the treatment basis there like when you've got 40. this is 40 years ago and so we didn't know the
15:20
hypothalamic reset back then and so we would do structural Corrections we would give them because they had a lot of
15:26
allergies would give them nutritional supplementation to support the liver and adrenals we would give them those type
15:32
of things okay after a while I learned allergy elimination techniques which would add that to the protocol and in
15:39
the past 11 years that's been supplemented with this hypothalamic reset which we think is much more
15:46
powerful in getting to the root of the cause amazing well if you if you'd be kind enough to just tell us a little bit
15:52
more about what the hypothermic reset technique is where did it come from whether that originate you said you've been working
15:57
on that for 11 years that's something I think you've got a book on it right which we can talk about as well yes yes we were a book on it it was uh we've
16:05
always known that the hypothalamus was important I did some major um work with the fibromyalgia we have a
16:13
fibromyalgia video out that teaches chiropractors how to treat fibromyalgia and we knew that the that in about half
16:21
the cases the hypothalamus was involved now this is things we did about 15 or 20
16:26
years ago what we now know is in every one of those the hypothalamus was involved we just weren't able to figure
16:33
out how we could bring it to fruition to show it and so the hypothalamus that's
16:38
up there trying to make decisions it's always doing something that it thinks is good for you the body is never is never
16:46
is never doing anything that it thinks is bad for you it is trying to heal you
16:52
24 7. every day of the week every month of the year and what happens is is sometimes it
17:00
makes mistakes not on purpose but just like let's take autoimmune what is autoimmune body's
17:06
attacking itself why would it do that why would it attack itself it's a mistake
17:11
it's just like friendly fire in a battle so if you're in the Foxhole with your
17:18
friends who are your comrades you know and you're in this war and all of a sudden a firefight breaks it out and
17:25
there's a lot of smoke and there's no good reconnaissance the general isn't there to tell you what to do you're
17:31
trying to protect yourself and so you're shooting to protect yourself and by mistake you shoot your friend you didn't mean to
17:38
shoot your friend that's what autoimmune is the body is trying to protect itself it's made a mistake and it's attacking
17:45
itself yeah is that a state of confusion is it
17:52
a state of when you say when you say like a biological mistake what are the circumstances in which that that may
17:59
arise and yeah if you could touch on that usually happens when the neurotransmitters are not working well the neurotransmitters are the way that
18:06
the body communicates so without the neurotransmitters working you're having a battle without the
18:12
general without the reconnaissance and so you're going to do whatever it is to try to survive
18:18
when you have the neurotransmitters which is the brain connectors which is choline and acetylchava biotin serotonin
18:24
that's what that's the number one thing we reset the most important thing that
18:29
we do is to get the brain working with you if the brain is working with you
18:35
everything else becomes much much easier so that's the first thing I check on
18:41
everybody is to make sure their neurotransmitters are intact and if it's not I reset those and so we
18:49
have a list we've been doing this now for 11 years we have the computer program that has been from day one we
18:57
have I think uh now uh 3 500 patients with 25
19:03
000 treatments with pre and post symptoms surveys in it so I can tell you what the number one treatment is the
19:08
number two treatment I can tell you how many times I've done anything you mentioned I can pull up on the computer
19:14
and say I've done neurotransmitters 2500 times I've done zinc 2600 times and I
19:19
can tell you the top 10 the top 20 everything I've done more than a hundred times and so it's not random is not
19:27
random now again you may um have a skewed result depending on the
19:35
patients you see let's say that you decide to be a digestive specialist and you only want
19:41
to see digestive disorders you're going to see a heck of a lot of problems with zinc if you decide you want to be uh treat
19:50
people with ADD ADHD the kids are having so much learning difficulties you're going to see a lot of neurotransmitter
19:56
problems if you see if you if you treat women with hormonal imbalances you're
20:01
going to see a lot of thyroid adrenal dysfunction so you can have numbers at a
20:07
distorted base on your particular practice and what it's skewed to in our
20:13
Chiropractic practice uh and and most probably 75 to 80 percent of our
20:18
patients are women the you would think well you know you're a structural guy you're going to adjust
20:24
their back and and you're going to see the men because they're going to come in with a hurt back you know what's
20:30
interesting is men tend to only come in they come and say Doc I hurt my back yesterday I'm supposed to play golf
20:35
tomorrow get me straight you know women come in many times and they they will
20:41
say I don't know why I'm here I just don't feel well men hardly ever come in with that so women are in much more in
20:48
tune with just not feeling right it almost takes a total collapse
20:54
for men to know that to have a problem and that it's me included I was in
21:00
practice early on in my fourth or fifth year of practice and I knew it was under stress I was seeing 250 patients a week
21:07
I was working six days a week I knew that there was some things going on and so I decided to go to a seminar down in
21:15
South Florida and I was going to go to the hotel and I found blue on the beach and spent a little time on the beach go to a couple seminars but mainly relax
21:21
and so I still worked that morning I still couldn't give up working that morning so I drove down and I uh when it
21:28
I thought well maybe I'll go for a swim just to relax in the pool and so I tried to swim in the pool I couldn't turn my
21:33
head I had meningitis you know it took me finally to relax to realize I had probably had meningitis the whole week
21:40
wow you know so it is you know and and it's an interesting statistics if you
21:45
look at when people go to emergency rooms it's often on Friday night they go
21:51
through the whole week they get through it and they say oh my gosh I get the weekend to relax and oh my God what's
21:57
this pain they got appendicitis attack you know so they've had in imbalances all week but the body is pretty good at
22:04
handling acute stress and then finally when it relaxes it tends to collapse you
22:10
know so the um the widower will get through the funeral they'll make it
22:15
through and they'll do all those things and and make it through and then they'll collapse later on the student will get
22:21
through finals and get sick over Christmas break you know the body is really good at handling acute stresses
22:27
and then finally if it doesn't not able to release those stresses then it does
22:33
collapse interesting can you tell us a little bit about how you actually test neurotransmitters sure so there's a few
22:41
things that will happen when your neurotransmitters are not working well all right so a fluorescent light has a
22:48
vibration to it rather than an incandescent light that has a constant stream I have a view box because we used
22:54
to have x-rays that were filmed and I'd put them up now we have digital X-rays and the only reason I use my my view
23:00
boxes for testing for the neurotransmitters if I turn on the fluorescent light and I check a muscle
23:06
you'll go weak if your neurotransmitters are not connecting that's why so many kids have problems in
23:12
school these days you know when I was a kid there was one kid in my class at add now you talk to teachers probably 30 why
23:19
because they're under fluorescent lights were cramming all this electronic stuff in their brains when we got home from
23:24
school we rode a bike or played football or did something else now they come home and get on their iPads you know so this
23:30
electronic Bob Barman is really stressing our children and so that's one
23:35
way the second way is we do not think there's a problem with the left side or the right side of the brain we think
23:41
there's a problem with the communication between the sides of the brain so if we have a person sing and they stay strong
23:49
and they count and they stay strong and they muscle goes weak when they sing
23:55
with numbers then we know there's a misconnection with the connections because so your
24:00
right brain basically uh is controlling your musical
24:08
side of the brain your left brain is controlling your arithmetic reason or rational side so when you try to do both
24:14
you're trying to have them both you when you're trying to sing with numbers you're trying to use both at the same time and so and then also it's called
24:22
neurological switching as we walk certain muscles will release um to as you you know when you step
24:29
forward with your left foot your right arm should release to go forward that's a normal gait response what will happen
24:34
in a person who's neurotransmitters are not working is it'll be exactly backwards the wrong muscles are not
24:41
releasing so that's the three tests we we see then we put neurotransmitters in their hand
24:48
and if they're in if their body isn't receptive to that they'll go weak and then we reset it through the
24:54
hypothalamus which is a use of spinal reflex points and acupressure points
24:59
while they're holding the substance and the hypothalamus or while they're doing the activity and holding the
25:06
hypothalamus so the first thing we would do is we treat them while they're
25:12
holding the neurotransmitters and hypothalamus we do the reflex points and then we check them while they were
25:17
reading just had one in a couple hours ago we had her read she went reading so what did we do we reset our hypothalamus
25:24
while she was reading she also when she tried to when she was under multiple stimuli when a lot of things were going
25:31
on it was playing music I was having a dancing in Santa Claus making noise and I was asking her questions all at the
25:36
same time and she said this is much like my home I've got six kids at home or whatever I said maybe not quite as bad
25:42
but your brain couldn't take all that information at the same time so we reset her brain while she was doing that
25:48
activity wow and that is an actual um
25:54
is that like a manipulation you said acupressure like you actually this is a very very easy tapping points
26:01
this particular ones T1 T8 T12 L3 and L5 we use a dual prime activator you can
26:08
tap them and there's there's eight acupuncture points and but it's not like a manipulation like you consider a
26:14
chiropractic adjustment where you're making a Thrust it's not like that so that stimulating neurological bed that's
26:21
along the sides of the spine interesting it sounds like much more of like a a subtle approach to oh it's very
26:30
it's very subtle people people say have you done anything for me today and I'll say you'll know
26:35
walk out see what this notice and do you think this is something
26:41
sorry carry on please I was I was gonna say uh
26:47
sometimes people are very desperate I had as one lady who came in and she had been through every treatment for 10
26:54
years and her husband had been going around with her and she was just desperate and she said to me the first
26:59
visit if you don't help me I'm going to commit some of suicide I've tried before but I haven't been successful this time
27:05
I will and So within two visits she's doing much better and so her husband Corners me and I said I know she's doing
27:11
much better how do you know Doc is not psychological and I said it could be and
27:16
just tell them up front whatever you think my psychological is doubled my regular business so if you think you can
27:22
pay double if you want and just joking with him but so people will know it
27:27
looks like what we do should not have that much of dramatic effect and I
27:33
understand that and that's why we've done I had a opportunity it was about
27:39
about a year and a half ago I had a person who specializes in neurology uh
27:46
be willing to drive up four hours round trip to do some pre and post testing on a patient of mine that I'd never treated
27:52
before and so David who is 42 years old had ADD and ADHD had depression and
27:58
anxiety at insomnia he had GERD and ulcerative colitis he was a freaking
28:03
mess and so um we uh the the neurological specialist
28:10
did all his brain mapping and did also reaction times how quickly he could react and then he tested him for an hour
28:16
and a half and then I did my treatment which lasted 20 to 30 minutes and he retested him he said the results I got
28:23
in that 20 or 30 minute treatment if he had been treating the patient for two or three months he would have been happy
28:29
wow so a lot of the stuff we do doesn't look like it should work but if it's the
28:36
problem it works and that's you know what you always have to say you talk about do you treat this or do you treat that I do not treat anything I don't
28:43
treat any disease I just treat people with bad diseases so you have a patient
28:49
I don't treat thyroid issues but a patient has an imbalance that's affecting their thyroid I remove blocks
28:55
and let the body try to balance itself that's super interesting that you say
29:01
that you have that neurologist come in and you did a 20 30 minute treatment and he said that that would have taken him
29:06
maybe two to three months to get to that result what would he have done in the two to three months that's different to
29:12
what you're doing mainly Chiropractic work and he also he specializes in
29:18
trying to stimulate brains with other types of activity he really uh he's a
29:23
chiropractic neurologist who who would would be using lasers and a variety of
29:28
other things to stimulate brain activity would you say would you describe your
29:34
Technique kind of just a lot because you use the word reset in there right like actually just allowing the body to
29:41
um do what it does best and just to put it back into that put it back into its best situation to be able to do that
29:47
rather than just trying to change a bunch of different things to try and treat or to try and heal
29:53
I'm not trying to change anything I'm removing blocks that are keeping the body from making Corrections itself yeah
29:59
you know so it think of it like a short circuit I don't rewire the house I just find where the short circuit is and we
30:06
reset the circuit breaker you know I tell people when they come in when they're really a mess I think you said
30:12
think of it this way lightning hit your house everything's been blown what I'm going
30:19
to do today is I'm going to turn on the main circuit and then what I'm going to do is I'm going to go room to room to see if those
30:26
circuits are working is your computer working is your TV working is your this and the rooms that I go to are based on
30:31
the patient symptoms survey and based on new genetics because it will give me the
30:37
rooms that are most likely to have the circuits blown
30:43
interesting interesting um what does the actual like is there a lot of literature and research in
30:49
regards to HRT and disease treatment in that HRT I'm I'm there the originator
30:55
of it and so the the book we just published is is one of those uh things
31:00
to get it out to the public I want it to be pretty secure in uh the information
31:06
that we had um and and and having that many treatments over 10 years we've been
31:12
refining it all the time and we're discovering new things all the time but to say that you know I think the next
31:18
probably thing that I think would be very interesting is to take an add an
31:24
ADHD kid and do a brain uh uh a a motion
31:29
MRI of their brain functional MRI of their brain while they're reading let me reset them and
31:36
then test them what the what the changes are when they're reading I think that's sort of the New Horizon of although
31:42
that's not going to be cheap to do but I think that would be the next Horizon another thing you could do you could
31:48
take two classes of kids and you could duplicate Road treatments on one and not Placebo treatments on another although I
31:56
I hate to have anybody waste their time I would be doing placebos I'd rather do
32:02
um if I'm going to treat somebody I want to do what I think is best for them I'm not I'm
32:08
I I do I keep research records but I'm not a researcher okay I'm a clinician
32:14
who has some research behind it do you think that you that that your work would
32:19
would meet some maybe resistance in regards to looking to actually do some good quality research behind it I say
32:26
that because doing a 20 30 minute manipulation so not not manipulation doing a 20 30 minute reset treatment
32:34
um would be a lot you know if that actually worked and showed really really good evidence which you already have yourself but to do that to make that
32:41
more mainstream that would certainly come against you know all the all the medications and other treatments that
32:47
are being conventionally used for the things that you're treating so one one you know and we tried to do
32:53
some research with fibromyalgia and I did do a research study that was published in the Australian journal and
32:59
then also republished in the Florida Chiropractic journal what I find as a
33:04
problem is in research you want to isolate one factor you just want to have
33:11
one thing that's wrong and you just identifying that one little part so that
33:17
person that has ADD they need to have the neurotransmitters
33:22
reset they probably need to be reset while they're reading while they're writing while they're doing math they probably need to be on B12 they probably
33:30
need to be doing anositol they probably need to do an exercise cross-call patterning so what I'm really testing is
33:35
not one single Factor I'm checking a protocol and that's what I did with fibromyalgia I said all I am doing is
33:43
the one of these two cranial faults an anterior Atlas and using one of these five nutrients
33:49
and that is it that's my protocol and I can show you dramatic results with a protocol I think it is hard to prove
33:57
holistic medicine because in basic research you're only looking
34:03
for one factor I think it's bigger than that and so I think I'm gonna maybe make
34:09
a structural adjustment I'm going to make a chemical adjustment I'm going to make an emotional adjustment I'm going to do a protocol that can be limited but
34:18
I think to prove holistic treatment using a single entity
34:25
testing is a mistake do you think that everybody could
34:30
benefit from having a hypothermic reset I don't know that everybody needs it
34:37
um I I have people that I've TR that have tested that don't need it um uh
34:43
there are very few people who have serious imbalances that don't need it
34:49
and there's you know there's no child who has ADD that does
34:54
not need it there's nobody who has anxiety that does not need it there's nobody who has uh
35:01
a variety of things hormonal stuff that does not need it so they're um there are people who
35:09
are doing fine don't need Chiropractic adjustments don't need better nutrition don't need
35:16
anything else but they're rare and it's also too is what you you know health is
35:23
a Continuum all right so Health somewhere between zero and dead and 10
35:29
perfect health is a three three and below is what is known as disease and that's what we
35:34
focus on we focus on disease let's say you're at a seven are you healthy yeah you're healthy but
35:40
are you as healthy as you should be so that's why a symptom survey differs than looking at just the thyroid function I'm
35:47
looking at the Tendencies for the thyroid to be in balance and so when I tell a patient that there is uh I'm
35:55
finding some imbalances with the thyroid they'll say well and I've been to the thyroid doctor and they say it's fine I
36:01
said yeah how do you feel look at your symptoms survey you feel tired you feel wired your thyroid hormone is okay if
36:09
it's not getting into the cell I'm going to reset your RNA and see how you feel were they in the disease State no
36:15
eventually they would have gotten into a disease State and then the thyroid expert would have done something it
36:22
would have put them on Synthroid or some other medication but what I'm really dealing with is in the health ring Realm
36:29
I am trying to make people healthier and once I get into a disease State they may
36:35
need modern medicine um but there's so many people that could be so much healthier than they are right
36:42
now yeah it's remarkable the amount of people that yeah will will go to
36:47
maybe extreme extreme lengths of going immediately to a pharmaceutical or even a surgery or something like that before
36:53
you know it well a lot of people don't even know that these types of options exist and that's kind of why we're having these conversations to spread the
37:00
word to spread the information that there are some quite wonderful powerful things that we can do there are a lot
37:06
more or a lot less invasive to the to the human body and it makes total sense
37:11
that you would you'd be taking this holistic approach and having you know that using these symptoms surveys to to
37:17
completely assess somebody's you know emotional state psychological State and physical state so so important that
37:24
we're actually taking those uh taking that type of approach to to Medicine you know we have so many patients that
37:31
are on medication I had one in uh just this week 16 different medications
37:38
wow you know her kidneys are is overloaded to try to get rid of the toxicity liver is under stress she
37:44
hasn't gotten into a disease state yet but she's you know I don't know if the
37:50
problem exists in Canada like it does in the United States but
37:55
there are so many prescription medications given the United States uses 75 to 80 percent of the world's
38:03
prescriptive drugs and yet we score a 16th out of 16 industrial countries in
38:09
our health index I mean we are medications are needed but
38:15
we are overusing them I mean it is they give you something for everything I had
38:20
a lady in just the other day her cholesterol was a little elevated 209 but her HDL great she had a great ratio
38:27
they wanted to put her on statins I mean we we go overboard and um and so I think
38:35
that if we were able to reduce the amount of medications there are some that people have to stay on life-sustaining medication I'm not I
38:42
never tell anybody to get off any medication that's not in my license that's not what I do and what I do is I
38:49
balance them as best I can I say now go to your medical person and ask them how you can phase off which ones are
38:54
absolutely necessary which ones can you try without and let's get you off of
39:00
this stuff because there is no medication that does not
39:05
have some effect on the body's elimination systems and toxicity even I
39:11
had a guy in here he was an end-stage kidney failure over-the-counter Excedrin
39:17
you would think something over the counter Camp called you kidney failure this Excedrin for headaches you know so
39:23
these people are taking these powerful medications they don't even think twice about popping these pills all the time
39:29
and because oh I've got this my doctor said it's good for me I need to take it
39:34
and I think that uh more and more doctors and it's a small part right now
39:41
but more and more doctors are becoming more holistic and trying to say let's try to get you healthier let's not just
39:48
automatically put you on a medication but there there are doctors out there that think statins should be in the water it should be like fluoride you
39:55
know everybody should be taking a stab and it's one of the drugs that we see most of the side effects from weakness
40:01
in the legs inability to walk you're tired all the time and they say well I'm just getting older yeah yeah you weren't
40:08
that old two years ago before you started to stop and so I don't take them off the status but I get them on some
40:14
nutritional support to um to help with the kidneys elimination the toxicity and
40:21
then ask them to go have their first of all tested and talk to their doctor about getting them off unnecessary
40:27
medications how do you think we've got into a position where
40:32
patients or this to say pharmaceutical consumers are just willing to take
40:38
something over the counter without thinking about the potential side effects or something like that like you're talking about this kidney disease
40:44
just then like how we got into a position where we're not asking better questions
40:50
you know I think there's you know there's a trust that if you go if you go into a doctor's office I think if you
40:58
ask the person um are you going to get something for your problem they would say yes they
41:04
expect to get a prescription here's your problem here's a prescription this will take care of you and so uh
41:12
if you had come in with a complaint let's say it's a headache
41:18
we're going to give you a medication for your headache all right instead of figuring out why you've got a
41:24
headache and so it's much easier for the doctor if he's got a busy schedule and he's
41:29
going to spend five minutes with you write the prescription here's something for the headache it or for your back pain or anything like that you know I I
41:36
can tell you your headache is not due to Excedrin deficiency I don't think
41:41
anybody has an Excedrin deficiency you know we think it is caused by another imbalance and
41:47
it is harder to figure out why those other things are happening
41:52
um and I think it's it's better for the patient to figure out while this all started happening you know I had a guy
41:57
come in always had headaches um and we would have thought if it was a woman we thought it was menstrual cycle
42:03
because about the 15th of the month you'd always come in with these headaches and so what we finally figured out he was an auditor of the company and
42:10
they were doing the books and auditing at that time it was all related to stress and so what you had him do is say okay
42:16
this time of month you you don't get enough exercise anyway but this time of the month you've got to get out and walk
42:22
every day you've got to you know take some extra B12 for your brain helping neurotransmitters and but you need to
42:28
exercise to dissipate the stress what can you do to get you feeling better so
42:34
you don't have to become dependent on a medication yeah well said thank you
42:39
um before we finish up can you tell us a little bit about your book The Power of the hypothalamus please sure I'm not my
42:46
gutter right here I'm sorry and it's available on Amazon and of course people buy it in my front
42:53
office and type of stuff it is I think an easy read um we intentionally made it not for a
43:00
doctor but for a patient it is patient stories and so people will go on the the
43:07
developer of neuro emotional technique Scott Walker I do a lot of emotional work when I sent him the book and he was
43:13
reading through it his first reaction was exactly what I wanted other people my grandson needs this you know so he
43:21
saw something in a story that he saw either in himself or
43:26
somebody else and so the um I actually took out you know we worked
43:32
on this book when you read the book you'll say well how come it took you two and a half years to do this book it's
43:37
because we took out probably 20 chapters oh wow we took one whenever it started
43:43
to get a little bit boring we sent it to a number of different people we said okay what's the purpose of that chapter
43:50
did it well that was really interesting well did it really lead the patient to
43:55
where they needed to be and I've had people come in and said I didn't put it down I stayed up all night reading it
44:01
just because we think it's that interesting that people when they start
44:06
reading it um just they could see the stories and
44:12
um and what you need to know is as I'm not a writer I'm a Storyteller but my
44:17
wife is a writer and she says I didn't edit your book I rewrote your book so you took it and put it into the words
44:23
that and then my my Wednesday nine o'clock patient is a New York Times three times best-selling author he wrote
44:30
the uh the untethered Soul Oprah win uh Winfrey's favorite book of the year and
44:36
I've read that yeah and he's my nine o'clock patient he took the book under his wing and
44:43
he would come back and he said I had to really change this chapter and I'd look at it and say I only see one word change
44:50
he said yeah but that was a very important word so they're words missed you know I can
44:57
tell you stories like we're doing today and I'm pretty good at that but you know I I I kid uh people that English is my
45:06
second language it's supposed to be my first but uh knowledge about serial commas and worst things are supposed to
45:12
be is not my expertise so uh if you read the book I think you'll appreciate the
45:19
both my wife and Mickey and how they uh our Craftsmen and putting words together
45:25
and Mickey would say if at any point when you're reading you have to stop and
45:31
you're distracted because it didn't make sense you've lost them and so every word
45:36
and so he went through past he said to go through passes we went through passes in this book 10 12 times in each chapter
45:43
and uh it was a funny story my uh my wife took more Liberty in one of the
45:49
chapters that she rewrote and Mickey came back after reading it who wrote this chapter I said well I did but my wife
45:54
um it took more Liberties but however we write them all she said these are much better so I know I know my limitations
46:02
and and I know what I'm good at what I'm not good at and I'm pretty good at
46:08
storytelling um and they're much better at writing and so I think those combinations have
46:14
made it a pretty interesting book I think that I have not had anybody who
46:20
has read it that did not have um glowing remarks about what it told
46:27
them and um you know I mean you know it would be how do patients know that their thyroid
46:33
can be hyper and hypo at the same time cap can you be tired and wired how can you be so tired but you can't sleep you
46:40
can't relax that's a condition but medically they'll never figure it
46:45
out because your thyroid check's okay on the lab work and so that's one of the problems that's happened with medicine
46:51
is that um the gold standard of whether you need to be treated is whether a lab shows you to
46:57
be off and so if the lab doesn't show anything you don't have a problem it's a pull
47:02
metric fibromyalgia went under the screen under the radar for so long and
47:07
you know all these patients in 1950s were getting B12 shots from their doctors or family doctors they felt much
47:13
better than modern doctor came along so you don't need anymore I can show you your B12 is fine and I can show you in
47:19
nutritional almanacs that the level of B12 in the blood and the cell may be
47:24
different and so lab work at the exclusion of what the patient tells you
47:30
is a big mistake and I think that's one of the mistakes that we make in our
47:37
evidence-based care evidence-based care is not just research it is what the patient is telling you and what the
47:44
clinician itself finds to be valuable in that case wonderful well what how what's the
47:51
where's the best place for people to connect with your daughter chance
47:56
best way because then you can see the whole sort of thing is www dot chance
48:02
c-h-a-n-c-e-h-r-t.com [Music]
48:08
that will take you to the website I'll tell you a little bit about me it'll tell you about the courses for
48:14
practitioners who want to learn this it'll tell you that to order the kit to
48:19
do the testing but it also takes you directly to the Amazon site to order the
48:25
book perfect well I'll make sure that that information is in the show notes so
48:30
people can connect with you but I want to say thank you so much for coming onto the show and really enlightening us into
48:37
so many different aspects of of Chiropractic Health of conventional health care and especially touching more
48:42
on the on the hypothalamus and that reset technique super super informative but thank you so much for coming on the
48:48
show I really appreciate it I appreciate it too it's going to start having me talk about health it's hard to stop me
48:54
so yeah that's good that's good you've obviously got so much passion and inspiration behind it so that's really
49:00
really cool and that is it no thank you well that is it for this episode of True
49:05
hope because the official podcast of true hope Canada I will make sure that the links to connect with Dr chance are
49:11
in the show notes I'll put a link into that book as well the power of hypothalamus but uh don't forget to
49:17
