Is Your Power On?

If a mechanic disassembled the parts of a car engine could he reassemble the
parts and the engine function again? If a computer technician came to your
house and disassembled your computer and reassembled the parts would it work
again? Most would answer yes, of course, based on the talent of the
technician.
What about your body? Do you believe that the top surgeon of the mayo clinic
could disassemble the parts of the body, reassemble all of your organs and
your body would re-animate itself into life?
The obvious answer is no. The more pertinent question would be why is it
possible that the unanimated parts of computers and a car engine can be
disassembled and reassembled and the mechanical device will function again
however, the human body cannot? It is simple and yet complex. What separates
the human body from a computer or a car is that the human body has this
mysterious something that creates life and causes it to function.
The Mysterious Power of Life
Some call this mysterious something universal intelligence, some call it
energy, and some are even willing to go out on a limb and call it God's
power. The fact is that this magnificent mysterious power causes the heart
to beat, hair to grow and food to digest. That same power also allows you to
read this article and interpret the information you are viewing on the page.
Researchers at Boston's Forsyth Institute and at Harvard University have
taken a big step toward explaining this mysterious something. When an embryo
consists of just four cells, they have found, an electric gradient starts
switching on genes. It's like a power switch is turned on that begins to
animate you to life.
The study of embryological development shows that the brain is the very
first organ to develop. The brain then sends creative power through the
spinal cord and nerves to create every cell and organ in your body. From
that moment on, that brain power flow continues to control all function and
healing in the body for the rest of that person's life. As a result, if
there is any interference or damage to the spinal cord and nervous system,
there will be an interruption with that life switching on power and your
organs will begin to malfunction.
Some Scientific Facts Behind the Spine:
1. While the body can go weeks without food, days without water and a
few minutes without air, it cannot survive for a second without nerve
(brain) supply. This is because the nerve supply is the literal life and
power supply.
2. The brain and the immune system talk to each other and this process
is essential for maintaining homeostasis (the balance of health).
3. The most extensive and physiologically most diverse component in the
efferent nervous system is the sympathetic nervous system, which sends axons
(nerves) to all parts of the body.
4. The primary and secondary lymphoid immune organs receive extensive
sympathetic/noradrenergic innervation (nerve supply), including: Thymus,
Spleen, Lymph Nodes, Tonsils, Bone Marrow and Mucosa-Associated Lymphoid
Tissues (gut, bronchus, nasal).
5. The sympathetic nervous system innervates (CONTROLS) all lymphoid
organs (immune function).
By finding a Doctor of Chiropractic who is trained in the full correction
and stabilization of the spine and nervous system, you not only remove pain,
you restore:
1. The full communication between the brain and immune system
2. Full function of the sympathetic nervous system, which plays a role
in controlling every part of the body
3. Immune organ activity, which includes maximum function of the lymph
nodes, thymus, spleen, tonsils, bone marrow and associated tissues
The spine is the lifeline of the entire body. Certain chiropractors are
trained to restore normal alignment and proper curvature to the whole spinal
column. Seek a Doctor of Chiropractic who is capable of X-raying your spine
and determining what it would take to create maximum correction.
This doctor should be able to not only adjust, but also give you
rehabilitative in-office and home care procedures so that the correction can
become more permanent. Following a course of care, this chiropractor must be
able to re-X-ray you and show you improvements in the alignment of your
spine as evidence that you are not only feeling well, you are getting well.
Following the corrective period, wellness care will be necessary to maintain
these corrections and keep you maximally healthy and feeling your best for
the rest of your life.
Chiropractors have spent over 100 years researching and showing that in
order for health to be restored, the brain and nerve power inside the body
must be free of interference. Chiropractors align the spine so that there is
no interference and the flow of power can regain control of your body. They
also align your lifestyle so that how you live is more in-line with
producing health.
Once your spinal cord and your lifestyle are in line, interference is
removed and the power that animated your body can heal your body.
In today's world, misalignment of the spine and nervous system is not only
common, it is epidemic. Whether you are sick and trying to get well, or well
and trying to stay that way, remember one thing... the power inside your
body that created your body, is the power that heals your body. You are not
doing all you can to get well and stay well if your power is not on! Look
around you this week. How many people do you think have their "power turned
on" and how many do not?
Happy Anniversary:
