The Voice of Health with Dr. Robert Prather

Most have never heard of the Atlas Orthogonal Chiropractic adjustment, which is a gentle adjustment of the top vertebrae.  But 4-out-of-5 people need it. In this episode, you'll discover:
--How Dr. Prather is the only board-certified Atlas Orthogonist in the state of Indiana. And why the top chiropractors say the Atlas is the most important adjustment to make in the body as well as the most difficult adjustment to make.
--That the top vertebrae (also known as the Atlas) weighs only 2 ounces but supports the weight of the entire human head (which weighs between 15 and 30 pounds).
--How the entire nervous system goes through the Atlas, which tells the rest of the body what to do. And how this treatment formed the basis of Dr. Prather's entire practice.
--The personal health benefit that Dr. Prather received from this adjustment in his battle with Graves' Disease as a young man, which inspired him to become an Atlas Orthogonist.
--Why the Atlas Orthogonal adjustment is a gentle, non-force technique without any of the "popping and cracking" many associate with chiropractic techniques.
--Why the Atlas Orthogonal technique is extremely safe.
--The reason Dr. Prather says using an instrument to adjust (as with the Atlas Orthogonal Adjustment) is more effective than if he used his hands to adjust.
--Why everyone (including babies) should be checked for this adjustment on an annual basis.
--How birth trauma can cause babies to have their Atlas out of position.
--The symptoms you might see as a result of your Atlas needing this adjustment. Plus, why the Atlas Orthogonal Adjustment has a huge effect on Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson's Disease, ALS, and concussion trauma, severe headaches.

—That 94% of all COVID-19 deaths have had co-morbidities (other causes of death).

—Why Dr. Prather's experience in Structure-Function Health Care helped teach him tolerance as doctors who refused to talk with him 30 years ago are now trying to do Structure-Function Health Care.
—How Dr. Prather had a pharmacist friend who was completely opposed to what he did...until she needed his help for her health issues.

As Dr. Prather says, "If you don't test, you don't know." Proper diagnostics are key to getting to the root cause of your health condition so that the doctor knows which direction to go. In this episode, you'll discover:

--The story of a 12-year-old girl who was struggling in school and having Attention Deficit problems. But after discovering low iron in her blood tests, she had a complete turnaround after just a couple of days of iron supplementation.
--Why an annual blood test can help prevent diseases like cancer and heart disease as those diseases are developing long before they are diagnosed.
--What is included in The Prather Profile Blood Analysis, and how it checks every organ system.
--How too LOW cholesterol can be more dangerous than high cholesterol, and why high cholesterol is "anti-aging". (Plus, why the HDL and LDL ratio is what you should be looking at instead of the overall number.)
--The connection between an improperly-functioning liver and hormonal imbalances. (And how hot flashes in women can be eliminated when the liver is balanced out.)
--How Dr. Prather almost never finds a patient with a correctly-working hormone system. (And how patients can eliminate anti-depressants and anti-anxiety medications once the root cause imbalance is dealt with.)
