I\u2019m excited to be speaking with cutting edge technologies and introducing the M6 class four laser with you today. But I\u2019d like to start with a story about two young boys, they\u2019re 14, 15 years old, that are walking home in the cold of winter. And on this particular day, the pond that they always walk around is completely frozen.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>So, they decide to take a little shortcut. I will tell you right now, I love the shortcut. Anyway, they get about 20 or 30 yards offshore and boom, the ice breaks and one of the boys just disappears into darkness of the pond. But his friend reaches down to grab and as he does he just watches him disappear under the sheet of ice. Panic sets in. He drops to his knees.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He starts to break a bigger hole in the ice, and he realizes that if he doesn\u2019t do something drastic, his friend\u2019s going to drown. So, he looks at the shoreline and he sees a large tree, runs over to the tree, rips off the largest branch that he could find, dragged it back to the ice and starts to look for his friend. He can see his friend just trapped, pounding under the ice.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He just picks up this branch with all of his might, and just starts pounding on the ice. Eventually, the ice breaks through and he reaches in and saves his drowning friends. As you can imagine, this is a small little pond. There\u2019s dozens of homes around it. You can actually hear the ambulance in the distance. As the first responders show up, a crowd gathers. And sure enough, one of the first responders says, \u201cdid anybody see what happened?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>And the old man says, \u201cActually, I saw the whole thing. I\u2019m the one who called 911.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWell, sir, tell me what happened.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Well, every day after school, these boys always walk around the pond. But today, the pond was frozen, so they tried to take a little shortcut. I watched them. I knew they were going to fall in. They got about 20, 30 yards offshore and then ice cracked. I watched that boy disappear into the pond. His friend tried to save him, but realized he couldn\u2019t. So, he ran over to that tree, brought that branch back, and then dragged it across and then used it to break through the ice. The most amazing thing I\u2019ve ever seen.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The first respond looks at the old man and says \u201csir, with all due respect, that tree right there would take two grown men to pick up. Let alone one little boy? Tell me again how he did it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The old man looked him square in the eyes. \u201cI\u2019ll tell you one thing: No one told them they couldn\u2019t.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>No one told him that it couldn\u2019t. I am chiropractor who is sharing my case studies with the world today on an amazing class four laser by Cutting Edge Technologies. I\u2019m excited for this opportunity. I\u2019m absolutely humbled and for the chiropractic profession out there, this is an amazing opportunity for us to go to the next step.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Great time to introduce myself: I am Dr. Graybar again. Born and raised in East Brunswick, New Jersey. I went to an all-boys Catholic high school. Went to the university of Scranton where I got my B.S. in biology. My parents still question what the B.S. really was, but I\u2019m telling you, it\u2019s biology. And I went to the Los Angeles College of chiropractic. I\u2019ve been practicing since 1994.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s my awesome wife, Tracey, of 27 years. There\u2019s a lot of Graybars. Seven is actually the number. I\u2019m just going to share a little family secret: if Christian had been the first, he would have probably been the last. We have three biological kids. I\u2019ve adopted four times. So I have a son from Honduras and a son from China. I have a daughter from Ukraine, and we also did a local adoption of my son Jack and I have three biological kids.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>My son Ryan is actually in chiropractic school right now over at Sherman. So, we\u2019re going to have the second generation of chiropractors in the Graybar family.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Let me continue. I love to coach. So, today I\u2019m coaching but I\u2019m also sharing. But I coached at Walsh for ten years and I\u2019m going to tell you that guy in the top left picture: he was excited. We would go on to win not one, not two, but three state championships. And I always make sure I share this: 50 losses helped to catapult us to three state championships. If you notice the blemish we were in 2013, 2014. We lost in the regional finals in 2015, but my sons would come back on their senior year, and we would go 26 and 4 and secure our third state title.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>I practice in Wilmington, North Carolina, Wallace, and Clinton. I am blessed. I own and operate three amazing clinics. I\u2019m going to share more about them in a second. But I want to take you back to probably the most important aspect I can share with you. So, I\u2019m going to teach you a little bit, have a little fun, but I love the concept of: I can. I will. And I must.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>I want to take you back to I can. \u201cI can\u201d is a belief and a belief is an opinion. And if my opinion is a little bit different than yours, and then fear and doubt freaking. All of a sudden you can lose your grip on your life, on your clinic, your purpose and direction.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>I love the concept of \u201cI will.\u201d A little stronger desire, but I also watch television probably like you do, and I love the show Survivor. Outwill, outlast, and outplay. You get one champion and then everybody else falls short.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>So tonight, I really want to encourage you to wrap your head around \u201cI must.\u201d I must, to me, is absolutely a sense of urgency. How could a little boy pick up a tree limb two or three times his size and do something extra ordinary and change that day without making a massive commitment to change right then. That sense of urgency.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Well, here\u2019s my hometown in Wilmington, North Carolina. If you\u2019ve not been here, this is the Port City. We\u2019re about an hour north of Myrtle Beach and 2 hours south of Raleigh. Magnificent town. But let me share something with you. In 2016, we made national news for something that I am not proud of. It says Wilmington, North Carolina: Number one in opioid abuse.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>You might not know what that is but let me share this with you: one in twenty High school kids know what it is, and they\u2019re misusing it every day. And if that\u2019s not enough and humbling, then in 2018, your opiate overdose became the number one cause of accidental death in the world. So, I\u2019m passionate about this. I speak about this all the time.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve got to change what\u2019s going on right now in our health care system. And I know that you guys see this, but there are four cities in my state of North Carolina that rank in the top 25 in your prescription pill abuse in the country. Number one being my hometown. I know you see the hurricanes as they come up on the coast, but really this is the new hurricane.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s Codeine. It\u2019s Fentanyl. It\u2019s the methadone. It\u2019s the OxyContin. These are the major challenges that we are facing every day. So today I just want to share a little vision with you. And then I\u2019m going through some very specific case studies to show you how this laser has changed my practice and our life.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Brutal facts. It says on the top: which nation which nation spends more money on health care than any other nation in the world? And I\u2019m hoping you\u2019re getting this already: is us. United States of America.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Brutal facts. We spent 2 trillion a year \u2013 16% of the gross budget is on health care. And most of this is for chronic disease. Almost 130 million people suffer from chronic disease. How does something become chronic? It means you get a misdiagnosis. We don\u2019t take the steps to really get proactive in our own health care. At the end of the day, it\u2019s the education process that is killing us because we\u2019re not teaching the right steps on how to break this awful trend.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Brutal fact. Who takes 75% of the prescription drugs in the world and then who takes 80% of the pain medication? 75% and 80%? United States. This to me is shocking. I struggle every time I share this. 75% of the drugs in the world are consumed by us. In the narcotics, almost 80%. And then you wonder why one out of 20 high school kids have such ease and access to them every day. So I think we\u2019ve really got to slow down, understand right now, absolutely we are in a health crisis. There\u2019s no way around it. It\u2019s here. It\u2019s in front of us. We got to change the concepts of how we basically coach and we work with our patients every day.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>I like people to understanding what health is and what defines lifetime wellness. Really important concepts here. Health to me is a state of being. It\u2019s a perspective, it\u2019s a shift, and it can change literally in an instant.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m walking down the streets of New York City and a piano falls down and hits me in the head. My health could change in an instant. Lifetime wellness is a different concept. It\u2019s knowing where the pianos are and how they\u2019re going to fall and making sure you avoid them. So you never get to that concept of lifetime wellness. You\u2019re always looking. You\u2019re making choices, educated decisions each and every day, and you\u2019re always pursuing the best health and the best lifetime wellness you can.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t accept anymore the patients that come in and you see the scale on the bottom, and I say, \u201cWhere are you on my lifetime scale?\u201d\u00a0And they tell me, \u201cDoc, I\u2019m like a two or three or four.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>After almost 30 years in practice, this is unacceptable. So, you\u2019re developing disease, you\u2019re going towards premature death, and you\u2019re okay with this? Why?<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>We have to get out of this comfort zone. It is time to really push. Give patients the best options in health care and educate them along the way. But how does the world look at the US? How does The World Health Organization rank us among the healthiest nations in the world? Are we really taking the steps right now to teach and promote the best health. I\u2019d say no. The top of the screen says \u201938.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>I coached high school soccer, and we won three times. My goal at the beginning of the season was to become number one. We\u2019re the 38th ranked health care system.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>But look at the bottom of the screen. Number one, best medical schools in the world. Best hospitals in the world. The most specialist, most advancements, number one trauma centers. So here in the U.S., we have something very unique. If you are on a helicopter, and it crashes? You want to be here. If you have a heart attack? You want to be here.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>If you want to live the longest and healthiest and happiest life? Preventative care? This is not the country for you. There\u2019s 37 other countries right now that rank better than us. And the life expectancy here in the United States is around 77, 78. We\u2019re going to have to change the state of how we\u2019re teaching, educating patients, because that\u2019s our ranking right now.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>At the end of the day, people have never been sicker. And this, to me, with seven kids, as I mentioned, for the first time in the history of men, children born after the year 2000 are not expected to live as long at us. That\u2019s, to me, the most profound statement ever.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>My kids are not going to live as long as me. My number one goal is that I provide for my kids and that they have a longer quality of life than me. I got to work on this every day.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Important concepts here: it says \u201cthe top three leading causes of death and disease.\u201d I\u2019m sharing some ideas here because I\u2019m really hoping that tonight you can recognize we got to make a change.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Number one of the cause of death in the world right now \u2013 everybody knows \u2013\u00a0 it\u2019s heart disease. It affects one in three people. There\u2019s almost 800,000 deaths per year. And the challenge right now in 2015 to 2025, they\u2019re saying we\u2019re going to go from like 17 million to maybe almost 24 million people that die every year. And I talked quite a bit. Three years ago, someone died every 38 seconds from heart disease. Now, today, three years later, one person dies every 36 seconds. Heart disease: number one cause the global death.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Number two is cancer. Cancer affects one in four people. You get almost 600,000 people every year that die from cancer. 1.9 million people were diagnosed with it last year. And it\u2019s almost 5,000 people that are diagnosed every day with cancer. I\u2019m one of them.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Great friend of mine, Dr. Crane, in Wilmington, a dermatologist. I go every year for my skin check. He takes a look at my back as I\u2019m doing my routine exam. He said, \u201cDoc, what\u2019s that on your shoulder?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>I say, \u201cI don\u2019t know. Out of sight, out of mind. What could it possibly be?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He said, \u201cMan, I\u2019m going to biopsy that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>So, three days later, I\u2019m back in his office and we\u2019re removing a basal cell carcinoma that\u2019s about the size of a nickel out of my back. I could have easily been misdiagnosed, undiagnosed, or out-of-sight, out-of-mind, never even known.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>What the third leading cause of death and disease is \u2013 To me, this is always shocking. It makes sense. If you go to a baseball game, how many errors do you see in a high school game? College game? The pros? Even the pros make errors. Or a football game. How many football games have fumbles or interceptions or turnovers?<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Well, here\u2019s the biggest turnover of all of them. It\u2019s the medical error. And I\u2019m not here to slash on medical. I\u2019m just telling you right now, it\u2019s a third leading cause of death and disease. And think about this: John Hopkins said, it might be as high as 500,000 people every year.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s my quick little story. Soccer coach right here can definitely still ball. But one day of practice, my meniscus went out and I knew it. I knew it. It kind of hung up on me. I could feel it right there. I struggled with it. I called it a day. I finally went ahead and had the MRI and had the surgery to try to correct this. But this is still shocking to me: I had to sign with a Sharpie which knee that we\u2019re going to operate on, because when I went under they want to make sure they\u2019re operating on the right one.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>So medical error is one of the third leading causes of death in the world because, at the end of day, with almost 75% of the world taking prescription medications and accidents that happen, it\u2019s the third leading cause of death.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>But last year and the year before, something a little bit crazier even popped up in your life: This guy right here is COVID. I\u2019m not going to debate it. I\u2019m going to talk to you more about my story in a minute, but it\u2019s mean. Okay? It\u2019s a strong virus. There\u2019s absolutely no debate. But I like to share concept now that if we can teach our patients to get better, stronger, and healthier. To become a better host.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>If we really work every day on our natural immune system, man, we\u2019d be ready for the next time this virus comes around because we\u2019re still in 2022 and we\u2019re dealing with COVID 19. The 3rd leading cause of death the last two years. So, the model, to me, I don\u2019t want to say failing, to me it\u2019s just not working as well as it should.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>I mean, take a look at the screen for a second. Heart disease, stroke, cancer, obesity, allergies, and the list goes on and on and on. Can you really think about one, two or three of those maybe \u201chot topics\u201d that has really gotten better in the last maybe one year? Three years? Ten years? I struggle.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>So, the world as I know it is a lot different than it was five or ten years ago. And so, my thoughts, I\u2019m sitting back and I\u2019m like, what do I need to do as a physician? I definitely got to get proactive. Start to educate my patients. And I\u2019m going to push the envelope with technology. I\u2019m going to make sure that I provide the best care for my patients every time I can. So, I\u2019m excited that I get to share tonight.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s a couple of things that I\u2019m seeing in the chiropractic world. Really important here. You see, so do I. You got 150 million Americans that have back pain every day of their life. And how about 12 million lost days of work every year? And if you look at it, one out of five workplace injuries really occur every year because of improper lifting techniques.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>And then, unfortunately, God, I hope I don\u2019t shrink too much, but most people lose 1 to 4 inches in their life over the lifetime. I\u2019m 6 foot, 185 pounds. I work every day in my health. But genetics sort of causes the body to break down. The aging process is going to cause it to break down. So, we\u2019re kind of facing an uphill battle. So that\u2019s why I\u2019m trying to equip myself with the best to battle this uphill.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Right about now, you\u2019re like me. When you heard this the first time, your blood\u2019s probably boiling. I know, but I want to share something with you right now. What happens to water that is boiling at 211 degrees? Absolutely nothing. Nothing! Without that last one degree, you can get hot, you can get bothered, you get burned, but it will never change state. It won\u2019t go from liquid to gas.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>You can jump up and down. You can yell at the medical, all the information, all the research we just shared. You can take a look at your chiropractic office, the profession. And unless you make a change in your mindset, you\u2019re going to get the exact same result that you have today and the next day.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>So, to me, our group went hands up. It is absolutely time to make a change and we got to go. So, we made a big decision. But it stems from this really important quote, and this is part of my \u201cwhy\u201d. So, I want to share this with you as we kind of go into the next step.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>It says, \u201cthe two most important days in your life are the day you are born and the day you find out your why.\u201d I didn\u2019t write that. Mark Twain did.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>I want to share my quick little story with you. My why.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>My mom and dad always raised me on a very simple concept that your family, your friends and your faith is everything. So, I\u2019m at the University of Scranton. I\u2019m graduating with my B.S. in biology. And two weeks before my graduation from college, my mom and dad and I would lose part of our everything.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>I had a younger brother, Peter, 19 years old, died in a tragic accident. It rocked my world. My parents were married for 52 years now, and I sit back and reflect on this every day, and it really changed my life. Two months later, I would be thrown into chiropractic school and I\u2019m going through this process, and I don\u2019t even know why I\u2019m there.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>And as I\u2019m studying, and I\u2019m learning, and I\u2019m taking this in, and then I get into practice. I\u2019m one year, and five years, and ten years, and now it\u2019s so amazing that this door has opened for me in this vision because my \u201cwhy\u201d is very simple.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>If I can help one patient, one family avoid an unnecessary illness or sickness or disease. If I could take back that one moment in time and erase a family member that gets lost in an unnecessary accident or injury like my family. That\u2019s my why.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s strong. It define who I am as a doctor, but let\u2019s not get this wrong. I love the profession. 1895 was the first adjustment. We are a holistic, drug free system of integrative medicine based on the diagnosis and treatment of the joints and spinal column. Holistic. Drug Free. Do you think Dr. Palmer would be happy with 75% consumption of prescription medications?<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s no part of the definition that says right now \u201ccover up the problem. Don\u2019t treat the hidden disease within the body.\u201d I love my chiropractic profession.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Our offices. We are a wellness based practice. Wellness based practice.\u00a0 We practice a diversified style with an emphasis in chiropractic physics. And I love what I do. Three offices in southeastern North Carolina, and I love it.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>We also do something called spinal decompression. And to me, this is definitely worth the story here. My dad in 1993 and in my last year of chiropractic school survived a head-on collision through no fault of his own, and he herniated a disc in his neck. He tries the local chiropractor in New Jersey. Tries PT. Tries the medical route. Nothing seems to work, so he is forced into a fusion in his neck at C6and C7.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Back in the day, in 1993, they\u2019re not using the screws and the plates. They just did a little boney graft from his hip and shoved it into his neck and said \u201chope and pray.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Well, I\u2019m a chiropractor. In 1994 I started practicing. In 2005, my dad started getting numbing and tingling and sharp neck pain and he can\u2019t play golf like he wants to and is struggling. He says, \u201cSon, you need to fix this.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>And I said, \u201cDad, I\u2019ve been a chiropractor since 95 and I\u2019ve been adjusting to you and I\u2019ve been trying to improve the range of motion, the state of your spine. At the end of the day, this thing is just breaking down.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He said, \u201cSon, you don\u2019t understand. I said you need to fix it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I said, \u201cOkay dad! I will try!\u201d So I started doing my research.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m a process buyer. I don\u2019t do anything without looking at it. Not once, not twice, ten times! I\u2019m telling you. I flew down to Florida. I met Dr. Larry Dyer, an internal medicine doctor that came up with a patent for the Vax-D. I bought not one, not two. I got three. One in each clinic.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve been using since 2006. We are now in 2022. My dad has not had a second neck surgery. I love our practice, chiropractic care, wellness-based model, spinal decompression if needed, chiropractic biophysics for re-engineering the spines. I mean, are you kidding me? The essence of health and wellness.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>But what do you do with this? I mean, what do you do with this? It\u2019s debated right now. It\u2019s a one, two, three, four level fusion. Got a 67 year old male who got surgery done 15 years ago. And now he walks in to my practice with chronic back pain. Legs are completely burning and numb and now he\u2019s looking at me for a direction. And I\u2019m going, \u201cum, I don\u2019t know\u201d so let\u2019s talk about this case real quick.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Chiropractic care. I\u2019m good but I\u2019m not that great. If you ask my mom, she says I\u2019m definitely great, but everybody\u2019s mom thinks they are great.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Spinal decompression. It\u2019s classically contraindicated. I don\u2019t mind trying it on my dad, but in this fusion right there. Wow, that\u2019s a tough one.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHow about acupuncture?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI tried that, sir, didn\u2019t help.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMedications?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYeah, that does nothing except make me really loopy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>So I\u2019m kind of stuck here. So I\u2019m a lot like you right now. What do you do? This guy is 67. We know the life expectancy in the U.S. is about 78. How is it going to get there? What quality of life do you have ahead of him? I mean, the next step in the surgical route, they want to use L1, L2, so they tie that in to three, four, five and six? And then when L1 and 2 break down they want to go to 12?<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>So I\u2019m stuck. In this case, I\u2019m stuck. I\u2019m looking at the roadmap here. I\u2019m going, \u201cokay, help!\u201d I need some support and advice and guidance and assistance. I need something!<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>So there\u2019s five amazing doctors that work with me. We start looking into this case and we were looking for three things and they could not deviate. They had to be exactly what we wanted.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Number one, I need the assurance. Safety was the most important thing to me. Assurance that if we brought a new product or application or therapy or technique into our practice, that it was the right fit for our practice.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Number two, certainty. I want research. I want trials. I want someone who\u2019s a whole lot smarter than me showing me that this thing is not just working, but there\u2019s research that says that it\u2019s the best.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>And then number three, it\u2019s got to match my purpose. If it doesn\u2019t match my \u201cwhy,\u201d it has absolutely no place in my life, no play in my practice, and so it\u2019s out. So it\u2019s got to match that.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Certainty, assurance and purpose. I found it! I\u2019m telling you, I researched it and I love it. And it is saving lives and changing lives and it fits every part of my \u201cwhy.\u201d So I\u2019m excited now to kind of share. My story is going to make it 11, but I\u2019ve got ten different case studies. Some from simple football player athletes, to some really tricky ones that are not chiropractic true cases. But in our profession right now, they walk in our practice every day. So you got one of two options: send them out or two, tackle it head on and change their life. And I\u2019m telling you right now, every one of these patients have been life changing. So I\u2019m so excited to share.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Let me get right into it.\u00a0 This is half my team. I\u2019ve got Dr. Juan. He\u2019s sitting right in the back. We actually went to high school together, so we\u2019ve known each other for almost 40 years. Almost 30 years in practice between each one of us. I\u2019ve got a team of six doctors and there\u2019s almost 20 of us. We see about 1,200 to 1,300 patients a week between three practices. And this M6 laser is just giving us such an advantage now when it comes down to treating some tricky cases.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>But here\u2019s my story: Let me go back to that meniscus injury for the soccer coach right here. So I kind of left out a little bit of the story. So I had a meniscus injury. I had an MRI. I got talked to basically getting the surgery. I went to see the doctor and he said, \u201clisten, it\u2019ll be really simple. We\u2019re just going to basically cut out the meniscus. Two to four weeks, you should be 100% back to normal.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>I said, \u201cOkay, great.\u201d So we went ahead and did the procedure and then a month before my checkup, my knee is still swollen and it still hurts. And I\u2019m coming up on soccer season.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDoc, I think it\u2019s just going to take some time. We can do cortisone shot.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m like, \u201cNo, no, no. I\u2019m good. Let\u2019s just see how it does. If you tell me more time, we\u2019ll do more time. \u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m going to fast forward to month three. So I tried going to my checkup and now we\u2019re talking about a new MRI. We\u2019re just opening up a new exploratory surgery. But I\u2019m 52 now and at the time I\u2019m about, I don\u2019t know, 43, 44. You want to open up and do another surgery? It didn\u2019t work the first time.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>So I got a really good friend of mine who\u2019s a Doctor, another visionary, and he actually has the Mphi5 laser that was kind of the one before the M6. So we\u2019re playing golf one day and I\u2019m struggling with his knee and I can barely walk. And he says, \u201cWhy don\u2019t you come to my practice?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He said, The protocols on this it\u2019s for scar tissue, decrease inflammation, increase the rate of healing. Six to ten sessions is what the manufacturer recommends, and I think you might get some success.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I said, \u201cI\u2019ll try anything.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>I canceled the fifth visit, because after the fourth visit, I was 100%. Back to training, back to running. It was amazing to me that I wasted three months of my life and you got to wonder if I\u2019d had this procedure done before the surgery, what kind of clinical success I would have? But I wasn\u2019t educated yet on the technology. But I am now.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Number two, I am now. COVID. It\u2019s mean. It got me really good. I\u2019m six foot, 185lb. I\u2019m telling you right now, I try to eat right, do all the right things, but on the sixth day, I got viral pneumonia. And my wife, because I was coughing so bad, said we\u2019re going to the urgent care.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Went to the urgent care and the doctor sat me down. He said, \u201cI\u2019ll make this really simple. I\u2019ve got two people that I just admitted to the hospital that have the same exact x-rays, the same films that you do. But I\u2019m going to give you three days to beat this thing, and if you can\u2019t, you\u2019re going to be admitted by the weekend.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>So, first of all. Cutting Edge. Unbelievable support. Second to none. So I call up Matt Fitzgerald, who\u2019s my rep in Wilmington, North Carolina. And I\u2019m like, \u201cMatt, I got COVID. I know that you have got research on COVID patients. I need it right now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In three days, I went back to the doctor. \u201cWow. I\u2019ve not seen x rays clear up like that that fast ever.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Now, I\u2019m a man of great faith and I\u2019ve grown in faith every day. But I can tell you right now I believe that God put that laser in my practice for just as very reason.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The third one I now deal with, God, 53 years older. I deal with Morton\u2019s neuroma. I think it is from kicking omni tables. You know, a hundred patients a day and kicking omni tables and my foot hurts. And I\u2019ve been kicking soccer balls. So anyway, I went right back to what I do: went to the neuroma protocol. Laser. Boom. 6 Sessions. I\u2019m now ready to go.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s my personal story. That\u2019s my vision of what is done for me. But I now have ten different stories that I\u2019ll share with you of what is done in the clinic and I\u2019ll wrap it up. These are fun to me.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>I love it when I see \u201cout.\u201d Like when I have an athletic trainer or primary care doctor or team orthopedist that says \u201cthey\u2019re out,\u201d the coaches call me.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>So I got a 15 year old football player who tweaked his arm in the game, went to the E.R. They took a picture of it. They\u2019re like, \u201cyou just got a contusion and you\u2019re going to be out for two or three weeks.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>I said, \u201cokay. Come to my practice.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Coach calls me lick \u201c can you help? Can you help?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I said, \u201cyup! Bring him in!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Contusion protocol for swelling, 1800 Hz. 8 minute. 100% intensity. Three sessions. Three! Didn\u2019t miss the game. Didn\u2019t miss a game on Friday.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Number two, what do you do when your all-conference quarterback gets an MCL tweak? The orthopedist says he\u2019s going to be out for probably 2 to 4 weeks. And the coach is looking for me going, \u201che\u2019s my all-conference player. I need him for Friday.\u201d Call Dr. Graybar!<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDr. Graybar, can you help?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cyup\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCoach\u2019ll bring me in on Monday?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>We went 4 days. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday. There\u2019s my protocol. Knee pain. 15 minutes. 1500 Hz. 15 Minutes. 4 sessions. He\u2019s on the page Friday and they won! He hasn\u2019t missed the last three Fridays.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Now, I will apologize. Right now, I don\u2019t have pain scales. So I\u2019m just giving you kind of the clinical success of what I\u2019ve seen.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s one that we see every day. Really good friend of mine. He\u2019s a very active senior golfer. Don\u2019t bet him because he\u2019ll take your money now. But he\u2019s got advanced degenerative disc diseases at L4 and L5. And here\u2019s his list. I mean, look at the list. He doesn\u2019t want to be an opioid pain meds because they\u2019ve never helped. They just make him loopy. The injections that he\u2019s tried for your SI joint injections, disc injuries, stuff like that, nothing is helped.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>I think I\u2019m a really good chiropractor, but chiropractic and PT didn\u2019t help. Spinal decompression did nothing. And so during the day, the surgeons are recommending that they use an L4 and L5. And he keeps hearing in the back of his head it might help but it might be worse. So what did I do? I introduced him to the laser. I said, let\u2019s go.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s his protocol. We did a low back protocol. 100% intensity, 15 minutes, 12 sessions and then I transition into wellness. Now, here\u2019s where I laughed. He came in yesterday. I got him adjusted. Did my best work and there was another patient on the laser. And he said, \u201cDoc, how long is the wait for the laser?<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>I said, \u201cabout 10 minutes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He said, \u201cI\u2019ll wait, I\u2019ll wait.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He knows the value and what it\u2019s doing to his life. I see him every week and he\u2019ll get his 15 minute laser session in every week. And I love the fact it\u2019s cumulative. It keeps building. It gets the tissues stronger and stronger.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Look at this case here. Here\u2019s a 68 year old female and it\u2019s a diagnosis we see all the time. It\u2019s failed back surgery. Watch this one. The orthopedic surgeon refers to me and says, \u201cno chiropractic manipulation. None! Class four laser, but only with the Cutting Edge Technology. I don\u2019t want any of that other nonsense.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>So this guy has gone to the website, he\u2019s done his own research. He calls around. I\u2019m the only chiropractor in town that has it. So we started on it. I\u2019m going to zoom in real quick here, but here is the protocol, 2000 hertz, 100% intensity. And we bumped it up 30 minutes. So we did a lot more time in this case. But look at the artificial disk and the fusion. I\u2019m not allowed to manipulate. They\u2019re just coming in and we had amazing clinical success<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Derek! Derek Brunson is a patient of mine and a friend. Number five in the world for middle-weight division for UFC. He\u2019s a bad man! He goes by the Blond Brunson now, but here\u2019s his story and it\u2019s very unique. I do chiropractic care on Derek and obviously he\u2019s training right now. But he\u2019s getting ready for a huge fight. The fight was September 4th of 2021. He\u2019s getting ready to fight Darren Till.\u00a0 And he\u2019s three weeks from the fight and he\u2019s down in Florida. He\u2019s training and some guy hits him with a front kick.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He\u2019s sparring. They\u2019re just practicing. They shouldn\u2019t be throwing 100%. But someone is always looking to take down the champ. So the guy hits him with a front kick. Boom! It takes him right here. Rush him to the ER. X-rays show no broken ribs. But he can barely catch his breath.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>ER doc looks at him and says, \u201cman, with this type of contusion, you\u2019re probably looking at 4 to 6 weeks.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And Derek\u2019s like, \u201cI\u2019m fighting in 3 weeks! And when I win this fight \u2013 and I\u2019m going to win this fight \u2013 I\u2019m going to have a fight for the title guy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>So UFC starts talking to him and I talk to all the trainers and he says, \u201dDerek, you can\u2019t do any medication because it\u2019s going to show up in your testing stuff. So what about laser? Do you know anybody in laser?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He\u2019s in Florida and he calls me up like, \u201cDoc! I need to use your Class IV laser!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>So doesn\u2019t he fly in the next day. We did six sessions on him. We did a dislocation protocol. And I mean, this guy\u2019s got to fight! The story ends here that poor Darren does not live anywhere near me because he had needed probably about 26 sessions on the laser because Derrek smashed him. So think about that: The impact it made in a professional fighters life. Six sessions, two weeks and he rocked that guy\u2019s world.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s an Air Force guy right here. 42 years old. Eight months history of excruciating low back pain. A little longer story. I\u2019ve got to mention he never, ever, ever knew that he had a scoliotic curve. So I marked the green line, to me, the ideal position where the spine should be in. So I got a couple of full spines that I\u2019m going to share with you now. And the red line is the position the spine is in.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>So you can see the pelvis is dropped on the right side. You can see that convexity on the left side of the thoracic spine. I\u2019m going to zoom in now for a second, but this guy\u2019s tried everything. But here\u2019s the thing. No trauma. Severe mid-back and rib pain. Medical intervention that actually failed. PT did not help. He keeps talking to surgeons and they keep trying to repair.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>And at the end of the day, the MRIs that I\u2019m going to show you in a second confirmed that he\u2019s got some spinal cord trouble. But the thoracic spine is really delicate to work with. So, you can see over there on that right side, he\u2019s got that horrible impingement. He\u2019s got that big monster formation. I mean, this is just a really tricky case. Here\u2019s the MRI. And you can see the thoracic spinal cord is definitely angry. And so very few surgeons will opt to go into the thoracic spine and particularly with the scoliosis. So they\u2019re giving him the option of: live with it. 42 old, active Air Force. Live with it.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>So he comes in to me and I said, \u201cyou know what? Here\u2019s what we\u2019re going to do?\u201d Inflammatory protocol. 700 hertz. 15 minutes. 100% Intensity and 6 sessions. We\u2019ve reduced eight months of mid-pack and rib pain. And then I was able to begin the chiropractic care.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He\u2019s completing his first care program with us. He\u2019s back to 100%. And I\u2019m telling you, it just would not have happened if we had not had this amazing class four laser. No one could get rid of the inflammation around his spine. We did.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Really good friend of mine and we pray for this guy as we speak right now. This is liver, kidney, lung cancer in 2019. He has chronic, debilitating, lower back pain. You can see the pictures on the right when he used to be a farmer. Very active. Strong as a bull. And then you can see how his life has been changed on the left in the last couple of years from the cancer he\u2019s dealing with.\u00a0 Classically the laser is contraindicated in this type of case, but I called the physician, talked to his doctor and the doctor said, \u201cwhat other options do we have? No one wants to do anything with his spine. He\u2019s a non-surgical candidate. Their injections are failing and will not work. So Doc, do whatever you can.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Chiropractic care was not getting it done so I started a laser protocol. Low back protocol. 200 Hz. 100% intensity. 20 minutes. Six sessions. In six sessions, we broke his pain cycle. Then, I\u2019m able to do my best work as a chiropractor and now he comes in every week and just like my active golfer, he gets adjusted, evaluated, educated along the way, and he sits down for his laser session and we have improved his quality of life. I love it.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>This is a different case and it\u2019s a little graphic. So if you don\u2019t like to see a diabetic ulcer, you need to turn away. And again, I cannot say it enough, the support of this team is amazing. Again, I call Matt on this one. He\u2019s my rep. You can\u2019t have him. He\u2019s my rep. But this is a friend of mine that I saw walking around town in a boot and I said, \u201cWhat\u2019s going on?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He said, \u201cDoc, I have a fallen, collapsed arch in my entire foot. They have been trying to do surgery on me now for eight months. Eight months! But I\u2019ve got diabetes and they cannot get this ulcer under control. They can\u2019t help it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Alright. I have never done this before. And I do apologize right now because I wish I had more pictures here. And as I was taking it, and I was calling Matt to get kind of the protocols, I snapped a picture with it. All I can tell you is where the Red X is, that literally looks like the size of a baseball. He cannot put any pressure down on the inside of his foot. It\u2019s been excruciating. He literally walks on the outside of his foot and in a boot now for almost eight months.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>So I started something called the inflammatory protocol. 700 hertz, let\u2019s go slow. 10 minutes. 2 sessions. Then we bumped it up a little bit. Got to about 15 minutes in time. This is six sessions and after six sessions it was amazing the quality of life. But he actually noticed the difference after the second visit. He\u2019s like, \u201cDoc, I came here. The next day, I can actually walk on my foot and the swelling is mostly gone.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Now that looks really rough, but you can see how quickly we reduced the inflammation, got rid of the swelling, and that ulcer is drying up. Just wish I had another follow up picture, but I don\u2019t have it for you, but that\u2019s literally two and a half weeks of care.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Can you say it with me? 87 years young. God bless her! 87 years young. Walking out of church, trips and falls and lands on her right knee. Right knee. Immediately goes to the ER. They x-ray her knee and her foot and nothing\u2019s broken.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>So she comes into me on a walker with friends assisting her and she says, \u201cDr. Graybar, can you try that laser on my knee?\u201d I said, \u201cAbsolutely.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>This is four sessions: before and after. You can see the swelling has actually reduced in the bottom half of her leg. It\u2019s a lot more isolated. After the third session. She\u2019s coming in, instead of on a walker or with an assistant, she was coming in on a cane. So this case just came to me this week. So I figure we saved her, what? 87 years old? This type of knee pain and swelling? 60 days? 90 days I think she struggles?<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m excited to see where she\u2019s going to be after just the first week because we\u2019ve been doing just daily care over the last 8 to 10 days. So can you imagine where she\u2019s going to be by the end of the second or third week? We\u2019ve changed her quality of life.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>So I\u2019m getting ready to wrap up. This is my last case. I save this one for last because he actually wanted to come speak. But if he did, we would be going until about another hour. He is so excited. So listen to the protocols in this case. So this gentleman I\u2019ve known forever. Failed back surgery. And over the last six months he has been fainting because of low blood pressure. And it is typically \u2013 I just talked to him today \u2013 It classically runs lower than a hundred over 40. And what\u2019s killing him is his back pain. It\u2019s crippling.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He cannot walk anywhere in public without some type of assistance or some type of walker. Additionally, the medical intervention has absolutely failed. He\u2019s tried PT. No relief. Pain management failed. Surgical council MRIs. I\u2019m going to show the MRI in a second. We see this every day, the challenge is that everyone\u2019s looking at him saying \u201cyou are not a surgical candidate because the blood pressure drops and your pain and your falls. You\u2019re too much of a risk.\u201d So they sent this man home with no options. And then to make it worse, he picks up COVID and spends six weeks in the hospital and gets pneumonia from the COVID.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s a scan. As chiropractors, we see this every day. You get that small diameter of the canal between L3 to L5. You get that severe spinal stenosis plus the bad pedicles and the bad disk at L4, L5. And then you\u2019ve got that right disc bulge. If he\u2019s 40 or 50 years old. Sure. The surgeon can talk him into it going ahead and trying to get this repaired. But he\u2019s in his late seventies. There\u2019s no quality of life. And they basically just say \u201cthere\u2019s no options for you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s his neck. You can see how far forward his neck is. I mean, his posture is so weak from being hunched over so long. You can see all the arthritis in his thoracic spine. All those horrific bones first. And then here\u2019s his major issue. Look at how unbalanced his spine is. Look at the compression down there with L3 and L4 and then look at L5. It\u2019s a pancake.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>So we know he has stenosis. We know he has degenerative disc disease, but there\u2019s no clinical treatment options for him at all. None. So he comes in to our practice and I said, I got one you haven\u2019t tried! Low back protocol.\u00a0 2000 Hz. We put some Joules and energy into my man here. 100% intensity. 20 minutes, 12 sessions. After the seventh session, he comes in and says, \u201cDoc, I don\u2019t know what you\u2019ve done to me, but why didn\u2019t I come here eight months ago? This thing has changed my life. Who invented this? Doctor Jesus?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>I started kind of chuckling. I said, \u201cSir, this to me is what this technology is all about. We are giving your quality life back now in our practice.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He just came in for his first weekly session. I\u2019m going to transition him now into weekly chiropractic care. We\u2019re going to educate, adjust, and evaluate the spine for subluxation. We\u2019re going to mobilize that back and get it moving. And they\u2019re going to use that laser to decrease all the inflammation as well. Again, the benefit to me is it just keeps building and building and building on health.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Because at the end of the day, here\u2019s the most important thing: We don\u2019t get sick. We do sick. And I really believe this. And I teach this to every patient right now.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The middle line, that\u2019s the flatline. ERs are full of patients that are flatline. The challenge is, in our world, you\u2019re either getting better or you\u2019re getting worse. That last patient I went over, he was getting worse every day and no one was giving him any choices and no one was given any opportunity to help him ger well.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>So I\u2019m a lot like you. I had to take a really strong look at this technique. I took a look at the class four laser and tried to evaluate all of the education, all the facts, look at all the research and to me it\u2019s the best decision we made in years. And I\u2019m so excited that I\u2019ve got to share.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m going to close with a little story. And to me, I hope this puts it all together. And again, I really appreciate the time you\u2019ve given me today to kind of share my stories with you. Hope they inspired you.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Our mission statement is that the families in our practice are healthier, happier, and safer than those that are not. That\u2019s our mission statement that every doctor has come up with, and we teach that to every patient. But I want to share a little story here.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>So there\u2019s a big zebra right there and he is just born. Mom starts to nudge him around and says, \u201cSon, you need to get up.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He says, \u201cMom, I\u2019m exhausted. I was just born. I\u2019m tired. Maybe put the TV on, put some Netflix movies on, but I just want to rest.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She nudged him again. She says, \u201cSon, you need to get up. You need to learn how to run. Now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMom. I don\u2019t even know how to walk. I can barely run. Get back to me tomorrow. Get back to me next week.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And she says, \u201cSon, you need to get up right now and learn how to run because son, the lions are coming.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMom, I don\u2019t even know what a lion is.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And she says, \u201cSon, you better learn how to run fast, or the lions are going to eat you up.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Now, I\u2019ll tell you right now, I live in Wilmington, North Carolina. We don\u2019t have any lions. I ain\u2019t got no lions, but they\u2019re out there and I see them every day. They\u2019re neck and back pain and failed back surgery. They\u2019re gobbling up our patients and they\u2019re creating communities that have lost all their hope and all their focus. And if those two aren\u2019t enough, let me tell you about the medical errors. You can\u2019t watch a football game without a fumble. Don\u2019t you come at me and fumble my life. How about a 38 ranked health care system? Is it really a health care system or is it a sick care system? And if that doesn\u2019t frustrate you, let\u2019s talk about the opioid crisis or the COVID crisis, because either one of those to me is a tragic shame of what\u2019s going on with our world right now.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>I share that concern with every patient right now. We better start running at the lions. We\u2019re going to start educating our patients so they absolutely can get better, get that mindset in their head that they can get stronger. And then once they get better and stronger, then put that must in their mindset that they can be healthy for the rest of their life. They have to apply all the right choices each and every day. And to me, this technology that I\u2019ve just shared with you has saved not just one life. It saved dozens and hundreds of lives.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>I am truly blessed that you allowed me to share today. I\u2019m Dr. Graybar. Here\u2019s my cell phone. Here\u2019s my email address and that\u2019s my Wilmington branch office. I appreciate the time today. And of course, if there\u2019s any questions, you can email me directly. I would love to share more and more of my success, but if I leave you with one final note, you can change alife and it\u2019s absolutely worth investing in your clinics because you\u2019re going to give those patients the best opportunity to become their best.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Thank you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hey, I\u2019m Dr. Graybar.
