#63 Forces of Innate, The Nerve System

3/26/2014

0 Comments

 
            In our last article we discussed your Innate Intelligence, your body’s ability to know what it needs to do each and every moment to keep you healthy, to utilize or harness the same forces in nature that would harm or destroy you in order to keep you healthy and alive.  That intelligence resides somewhere in your body, but we really don’t know where.  Some would say the brain, others the DNA, still others the cell membranes.  I believe they are all correct.  The intelligence that resides within each of us that keeps us healthy and alive is the cumulative total of all the little intelligences throughout our entire body, and is far too complex for this short article.  It is in each strand of DNA, in each nucleus, in each cell, within each tissue, within each organ and system, interacting and interconnected with every other system, organ, tissue, cell, and nucleus.  And interconnecting them all is one thing, your nerve system. 

            The nerve system is an amazing structure.  Its tiny fibers go to each and every single cell within the body (including moving cells like the blood).  In fact, if I were to magically remove every cell in your body except your nerve fibers I would still recognize you.  The ghostly shape of your nerves infiltrate every nook and cranny of your body.  And it gets even more amazing.  Let’s imagine there were not just one, but 7 million planet earths in the universe and each planet earth had 7 billion people on it (just like ours does).  Now let’s imagine that each and every person on these 7 million planets has a cell phone and that they all are communicating with every other person on every other planet at the same time.  And then let’s imagine that there are no dropped calls.  That pretty much describes what your own nerve system does every day.

            So, the force that your Innate Intelligence uses to communicate its wishes to every part of your body is the nerve impulse, a signal that travels from one nerve cell to the next and then to the next, and so on, until this command or that command is carried out successfully.  This goes on trillions of time a second throughout your body between the brain and the cells.  And when this happens without any dropped calls we have what we call health.  But what about dropped calls?

            That’s exactly what subluxation does.  Damage to the spine causes interference to the nerve impulse at the spine leading to dropped calls, commands and information that is therefore unable to get from one part of the body to the other.  So while your Innate Intelligence may be perfect, it is limited by the limitations of the physical matter that is your body.  It is limited by dropped calls due to subluxation.  This may be the major source of damage that subluxation does to your general health, but it is not the only source.  Next time the scourge of inflammation.

    After writing an article per week for a year, I just kept going.  These are most of my collection.  They are written with my existing patients in mind, so some stuff may seem odd or unusual, but would make perfect sense to those who know chiropractic and who know me.  Enjoy and share!  For my personal blog visit:

What Our Patients Have To Say

     I used to suffer severe headaches and migraines on a daily basis, usually all day.  I managed to work in an office because I had to.  When I went home at the end of the day I would often close the shades and go to bed.  I could not plan weekend events because I simply never knew how I was going to feel tomorrow.  If there were a special event such as a birthday or wedding, I would begin to medicate myself two weeks in advance to give myself the best chance of making the event.
     Friends and fellow church-goers had been trying to get me to see Dr. Rick for some time before I finally gave in.  Looking back, I don’t know why I waited.  Within a month, I was headache free.  I couldn’t remember what it was like to not feel pain.  I could do whatever I wanted and not live in fear of the headache.  This was a miracle for me, but the story does not end here.
     An opportunity came up for us to adopt a newborn baby girl not long after I began chiropractic care.  This baby was particularly important to me and my husband because her mother is a relative.  Tragically, her mother was also a drug user and did drugs during her pregnancy.  If we could not adopt the baby she would have been put into the foster system since the biological mother was incapable of raising her.
     To keep a long story short, we did adopt her and she is doing fantastically.  There is no sign of any effect of the drugs on her as of yet, and with God’s help, there never will be.  We think that is because of the vast amounts of love and attention she gets from us, her real mommy and daddy.
     What does this have to do with chiropractic?  The reality is that without chiropractic, I would still be nearly an invalid with headaches.  I COULD NOT HAVE TAKEN CARE OF AN INFANT OR RAISED A YOUNG CHILD.  THEREFORE, SHE WOULD NOT HAVE ANY OF THE OPPORTUNITIES IN LIFE THAT MY HUSBAND AND I WILL BE ABLE TO PROVIDE FOR HER.  MY DAUGHTER’S LIFE IS POSSIBLE BECAUSE SOMEBODY MADE ME GO TO A CHIROPRACTOR. 
     You need to tell everyone you know what you know about chiropractic.  Who knows who’s life you will change too.

     Hello, My name is Andrew and I am a happy, healthy one year old.  But I wasn’t so happy or healthy when I first met Dr. Rick a few months ago.  I had been having problems with my ears for four months, I couldn’t sleep at night and I was miserable.  We’d been to the doctor lots of times but nothing was helping.  In fact, all the medicines the doctor had tried seemed to make me worse instead of better!  Both the regular doctor and the Ear-Nose and Throat doctor said that if the antibiotics didn’t work, then they’d just have to put tubes in.  Now my Mom and dad weren’t about to let them do surgery on me, especially since they had been reading and learned that tubes can cause more problems than they solve.  My mom and dad did a lot of praying.  Then my mom heard that sometimes babies who have a traumatic birth like mine have ear trouble.  You see when I was born they used a vacuum extractor and forceps to pull me out.  I guess all that yanking on my head, hurt my neck.  She also heard that chiropractic care can be the answer.  Now she was skeptical because she couldn’t imagine a chiropractor helping ear infections!?!  But at that point she was willing to try anything!!  Happily, a few weeks of adjustments and my ears were all cleared up.  In addition, I no longer had a stiff neck or shoulders and my whole personality was happier.  I have to tell all babies who have ear troubles, don’t let them give you tubes until you at least try chiropractic care first.  After all, it can’t hurt and if you’re like me, you could be perfectly well with no drugs and no surgery.  In my family, we thank God for Dr. Rick, because I feel better, my mom and dad are happier and sometimes, I even sleep through the night.
