I was born in Denmark. As a small boy I suffered from many health problems. I had Asthma and Allergies. I were taking Steroid nose sprays and asthma inhalers just to function.
Like my father and brother I also suffered from esophogeal reflux disease (constant heartburn) and we took antacids like they were M & M's.
However my worst health problem was severe digestive pains that would cause me to go into the fetal position and cause severe pain for hours. I even went to the hospital to have a barium enema (radioactive material put into my rectum to take X-rays of my intestines. The doctors explained to my parents that I just had to learn to live with it. There were nothing they could do for me.
All of these health problem before the age of 7. When I became a teenager I started suffereing from depression, I guess thats understandable with not being able to function like most teenagers.
When I were 17 it was time for me to go into the military in Denmark. I went for my physical and to my surprise the doctor said there was no way I could serve in the military because I had a big scoliosis (curvature in my spine). This was news to me. I knew I had some back problems but not it was due to a scoliosis.
I had seen my dad go to his chiropractor and decided that't what I wanted to do. I took my courses and moved to San Jose in california in 1989 to study chiropractic at Palmer College of chiropractic.
In the first month of school I were involved in a major car accident that totalled my car and started a downward spiraling of my health. For the next 3 years my back was getting worse and worse
For those 3 years I was seeing a chiropractor two sometimes three times a week. I tried numerous chiropractic methods, but nothing seemed to work for long.
I were only a few months from graduating as a chiropractor, but didnt know how I could go out to practice as a chiropractor if I couldnt even help myself. I felt like a wreck physically and mentally. At that point my back was in so much spam and pain that I wouldnt let anyone touch me.
Then a miracle happend that saved my life. Literally!
A friend of mine went to a seminar in a new chiropractic method called Network Chiropractic (now know as Network Spinal Analysis), I saw him working on another friend of mine and I could tell that it at least couln't hurt me to try this new method. I asked my friend if he would work on me for a month and see if it would work for me.
After the first month my back felt 70-80% better. WOW I were impressed. As I continued my sessions my back felt better and better. As the months went by and my back and neck started to fell better (from being in 7 car accidents over 5 years). I noticed something even more amazing. My Astma and Allergies were doing better and so were my reflux and digestive problems.
That was in 1992 that I started my journey towards health and wellbeing. Since then I haven't taken any medications for my Astham, Allergies,scoliosis,depression, reflux or digestive problems. In fact I usually only take 1 or 2 aspirins a YEAR. I now believe in my own body's healing power instead of relaying on drugs. All the drugs I took never did anything to correct my health problem, they only helped so I could function, barely. Now don't take me wrong. Sometimes drugs are neccesary to help with lifethreatning conditions
I fell better now at 40 than when I were sick at 25. Thanks to Network chiropractic and KST. I have recently only begun to use another life changing method called the Koren Specific Technigue. Please read more about it here KST technique . Because of my own success with Network Chiropractic, I have been practicing this particular Chiropractic method since 1992, and have been certified by the founder Dr Donald Epstein, DC.
Here is a complete list of all my health problems that got better with Network Chiropractic:
Acne

Educating the public about the benefits of Network Chiropractic care has always been important to me, and I have appeared on Radio shows and written monthly articles on health for local newspapers and magazines. I also offer lectures on a variety of health and wellness issues. These lectures are always open to the public and free of charge.
