Chiropractic recognizes that we
(science) haven't the slightest idea how to run the human body and that
fortunately, for us, we don't have to know. Inborn within each of us is an
innate intelligence capable of governing our body for a lifetime. It is only
necessary for the innate intelligence to express itself, which it must do
through the nervous system. The function of the chiropractor is to maintain your
body free of interference. Vertebral subluxations result in an interference with
the transmission of this inborn intelligence; Chiropractors remove this
interference through vertebral adjustments.
If the world could grasp this Big Idea, all concepts
concerning health would change overnight. Almost no drugs would be taken except
in lifesaving emergencies or due to abnormal circumstances (accidents, etc.).
The individual would still realize that although the drug is keeping them alive
or freeing them from pain, it is not making them healthy again. Only their body
can restore itself to proper function. Surgery similarly would be put into its
proper perspective. All the so-called therapies would be seen for what they are:
often attempts to relieve discomfort while overlooking the cause. People would
begin to look elsewhere for the answer to all physical, environmental, and
emotional problems. They would no longer revere the "man in white" the
intellectual, or the scientist who proclaims "I have discovered the cure!" They
would cease to worship the creation and begin to worship the Creator. This is
the Big Idea in chiropractic.
"Intelligence is present everywhere in our bodies. Our own inner-intelligence
is far superior to any we can try to substitute from the outside."
Deepak Chopra, M.D.
"God and the wisdom of the human constitute 90% of the hope of patients to
recover. The body simply has super wisdom which is biased in favor of life
rather than death."
Richard Colbalt, M.D.
"...A kind of super-intelligence exists in each of us, infinitely smarter and
possessed of technical know-how far beyond our present understanding."
Lewis Thomas, M.D.
"The mind can dramatically affect the body. It follows that whatever upsets
the brain's control of the immune system will foster malignancy. I try to get
patients to understand that the body heals and not the therapy."
Bernie S. Siegel, M.D.
