Why we practice as we do...

All ingredients for health, growth and self-repair are within the body itself!

From the moment of birth the body manufactures its own insulin, adrenalin, pepsin, hydrochloric acid; its enzymes, juices and secretions; its blood, sweat and tears; and does it out of the food you eat, the fluids you drink and the air you breathe.

When you cut your skin, the severed edges are healed from the inside with materials made within the body itself. If a bone is broken, union and healing is achieved with a knitting cementum made within the body. If you have a rash or swelling, it gets well whether or not you have given the ailment a name.

The body is able to bring about its cure if there is no interference with its manufacture of essential ingredients. Diseases are cured without regard to what they have been diagnostically called. Drugs made outside the body endeavor to duplicate artificially what the body makes on the inside naturally.

All the functions within the body must be directed. This is the role of the Nervous System, a master system. It directs the function of all subordinate systems: digestive, circulatory, respiratory and urogenital systems. The blood would not flow in an artery if not directed.

But we are not only a chemical factory; we are also machines. The body is a mechanical structure made up of hundreds of parts. More than 200 bones alone, including the freely movable small bones. No machine can operate 24 hours a day, year after year without getting out of adjustment. When out of adjustment, these parts block and irritate nerves which must direct the body’s natural operation. The organs and tissues served by such nerves are then deprived of normal nerve function and the deprived organs become sick.

To restore health, normal nerve function must be restored first. To restore normal nerve function, the structural parts which have been strained or jolted out of position must be adjusted back into place. When this is done, they no longer block or irritate nerves. Then the nervous system can again direct the normal processes of the body; if the damage has not gone too far, the organs can once more manufacture the ingredients for health and self-repair.

Remember you were born with a complete chemical factory but you were not born with complete mechanical equipment. At birth you were not able to crawl, much less walk, balance, jump, heave, tug, lug, run and strain. As you grow up and adjust to the physical demands which life imposes upon you, you get out of adjustment and you must be put back in because mal-adjusted parts disturb normal nerve function and the body cannot direct the manufacture of the ingredients essential for its growth, self-repair and health.

Therefore, in our practice we seek to adjust the body into a state of structural integrity. No drug, serum nor vaccine can adjust a strained or jarred mechanical part of the body back into place.
