Something to think about.

Every now and then I have to stop in my tracks to think of what an amazing piece of material this human body is! Did you ever stop to think of what other mechanism with which you are familiar with could possibly compare to it?

Sometimes, yes, we are prone to take our bodies for granted and not give thanks to the Master for His miraculous masterpiece: The Beat of LIFE in our body!

We get up in the morning, eat a hasty breakfast, dash off to work and work till noon, eat another hasty meal, on the job again. At five we head off for home and eat yet another hasty meal and many times out till the wee hours of the morning to endlessly repeat the cycle.

The massive conditioning of technology has clearly sold us a deceptive bill of goods. The more technology, the more free time you’ll have with your family and loved ones, the less stress you’ll experience, and the more peace you’ll attain.

My experience has been a total reversal of the promises we’ve been given. We live a truly whirlwind life these busy and troubled days. Our minds are stretched, our bodies are tired, and our energies depleted…We are worn out in every sense imaginable.

In the words of Addison, “Though we seem grieved at the shortness of life, in general we are wishing every period of it at an end. The minor longs to be older, then to be a man of business; then to make up an estate, then to arrive at honors, then to retire.” What a sad view of one’s fullness or should I say emptiness of life.

You and I are not our own, we belong to God. God allows every breath of air we take and every beat of our heart we experience. This body of yours and mine is a complex, complete working unit, a self repairing unit and a perfect functioning unit.

To do this it must have a proper environment, proper nourishment, and uninterrupted energy flow over the nervous system between brain and body (organs, glands, and muscles) at all times.

Again, I must mention the importance of being in a proper nurturing environment, surroundings conducive to good working and relaxing conditions with plenty of rest, napping being included. Proper nourishment for each individual is unique, but a well rounded whole organic diet at regular intervals through the day is important.

The other essential is uninterrupted energy flow over the nervous system. This means that the spine must be free of pressure. Nerves carry an energy, an electrical chemical charge that knows exactly where to go and exactly what to do when the charge gets to its destination.

These intelligent impulses communicate between brain and body at all times 100% of the time. Without this vital energy, tissues and organs will not function normally. The individual may complain of pain, shortness of breath, swelling parts of the body or many other symptoms. A person may experience a pressure on the nerves to the low back or leg. That person may have pain, severe pain, or even paralysis. A pressure could be made on nerves to any or many organs. Each organ and gland is supplied with impulses from the brain. The nerves can be likened to a wiring system as they convey energy from the brain where it is produced to the tissues of our body.

It takes a split second for you to think you will wiggle your large toe to move, then the impulse returns to the brain giving you the realization that the large toe moved. Without this perfect, God-created nervous system, you just couldn’t wiggle the large toe no matter how hard you tried!

The same thought may be applied to any part of the body. For example, after you have eaten your breakfast, it is necessary that more energy is given to the stomach, pancreas, and intestines to take care of this food in its digestive process. Suppose a pressure due to a spinal bone being out of place was on nerves to the stomach, pancreas, or other digestive organs. They need more energy. The demand is made. The nerve has pressure so the energy cannot be passed over the nerves and the stomach or pancreas or intestines cannot carry out their normal digestive functions. That individual will have symptoms. There may be bloating, sour stomach pain, light headedness, or they may just be plain miserable after eating. As a consequence the nutrient intake is a very limited loss of weight and a gradual loss of life and health will follow. The world’s solution: Take out our health insurance card with an expectation of receiving free drugs and chemicals so we can mask the body’s inborn warning system-SYMPTOMS! Do these symptoms have a purpose?

What is a symptom anyway?

Symptoms are the body’s adaptations by the God-given innate intelligence that resides within the brain to an improperly functioning body. The body’s inherent healing mechanism will adapt as best as it can, but interrupted nerve energy prevents full and optimum function. Only doctors of chiropractic have studied and trained to address the vertebral subluxation or spinal produced nerve pressure. Other types of “health care providers” are in every sense of the word “disease care providers not Health Care Providers!”

Their system of healing is a model that teaches to wait for disease or pain to blossom, then they will treat that symptom not searching for the cause of why that symptom blossomed to begin with. This equates to an Insurance Driven Dis-ease Care Nothing to do with Caring For Health “healthcare.” Other types of healthcare providers may manipulate joints, but only doctors of chiropractic have a scientific process for adjusting spinal bones to restore them to their correct alignment to remove nerve pressure and increase LIFE Flow!
