Is The Doctor In?

IS THE DOCTOR IN?

It's  not a difficult task to find the best doctor in  the  world for  you. Just look within. Since the time you began as a  ferti- lized  egg your own individual innate or inborn intelligence  has been  there  to guide a miraculous series of events  that  trans- formed your duplicating mass of cells into the complexity of your human body.

The  first  thing that starts to differentiate in  this  mass  of cells is what will become the central nervous system. Then  other cells differentiate to form the rest of all your tissues & organs comprising  your body's functional systems. Does someone  program the  information  in  that guides development?  Does  the  embryo consult  anatomy and physiological texts to know what to do  next or  what goes where, or what connects with what? No. Your  innate intelligence guides all of these extremely complex and phenomenal processes.

It's important to understand that this intelligence that  created you did not leave when you were born. It stays on the job direct- ing and controlling all of your life functions and healing  capa- bilities  until you die. It's your personal,  full-time  resident doctor.  And the best thing is that it knows more about  how  you should  work and what's best for you at any particular time  than any person can from the outside because it created you.

Your body is not programmed to deteriorate into chronic  diseases although it seems the pharmaceutical advertisers would like us to believe  it is normal. Your innate intelligence's  responsibility is to continually strive to regenerate itself and maintain  function

at the highest potential delineated by your genes until your genetic clock runs out. I use the term regenerate because  scien- tists now say that 98% of the atoms that comprise the human  body are new every 9-12 months.

Good  news! You have a new, potentially healthy body every  year. Bad  news  -  if you don't take responsibility and  care  for  it properly then it will break down and degenerate leading to chronic

disease processes and an unhealthy life.

Health  and healing do not come from a bottle of pills or a  sur- geon's knife, but from the full expression of your innate  intel-

iligence within. This intelligence sends messages over your  nerv- ous system linking the intelligence to the physical body animat- ing  your cells, tissues, and organ systems allowing your  "life" to express to it's full genetic potential.

Chiropractors call this flow of information "lifeforce". It's not that  you either have it or you don't. It can exist  in  varying degrees so that the quality of life & health that you experience is  a direct reflection of the quality of the expression of  your innate  intelligence  in  your body. What  interferes  with  this expression  is  what chiropractors call subluxations.  These  are spinal misalignments, abnormal postural relationships, etc.  that interfere with the proper transmission of nerve impulses from the brain  to  the body. They interfere with your  internal  doctor's communication system preventing it from doing it's job  appropri- ately.

Other cofactors that influence your innate intelligence's ability to  manifest  health are things like adequate  nutrition,  proper exercise, healthy relationships, ability to manage stress, elimi- nation of toxic substances, a sense of a higher being or spiritu- ality,  etc. Who you are at any point in time is a reflection  of the choices and actions regarding these cofactors since the  time you  were  born. And since the body and who you are  as  a  human being  is  a dynamic, constantly changing system,  you  have  the opportunity  to  take control and guide who you will  be  in  the future;  the same, healthier, or less healthy. This is  dependent on  how  well  you reduce the interference to  your  innate  inte- lligence's  ability to express itself and how you  configure  the cofactors in support of it.

A true "health" care system is focused on proactive, preventative measures  by the individual to reinforce and remove  interference to  the  body's innate ability to express  it's  full  potential. Unfortunately,  the  classical  allopathic or  medical  model  is focused  on symptoms and disease. It is a reactive system  based on  diagnosis  of a disease or dysfunction within  the  body.  It doesn't  necessarily work with the natural processes of the  body but  works through someone outside of you taking control  through the  application  of pharmaceutical or surgical  proceedures  de- signed to override that system of the body that is determined  to be out of balance.

As an emergency care system, the present medical model serves  us well. The World Health Organization's Health 2000 report ranked the

United States 1st in the world  among 190 other nations in emergency

care. On the other hand, the  U.S. ranked  72nd  in wellness care. Our

reliance on  this  model  for general  health  care has obviously not pro-

vided  for  a  healthy nation.

In addition, recent medical studies provided information that now ranks  the  practice of medicine as the third or  fourth  leading cause  of preventable death in the U.S. behind heart disease  and cancer. Why are we still so obsessed with trying to cure  disease rather  than  trying to research how to prevent it? What  are  we supporting when we run/walk for the "cure"? We need to change

our focus  to the safer, less invasive holistic model of  health  for general  wellness,  stimulating the body's natural  resources  to build health within itself.

Chiropractic  is the largest non-drug health care system  in  the world. Subluxation-based chiropractors' focus is to eliminate the interference  to  the nervous system allowing your  far  superior innate intelligence to regain control of the body it built. We do not  heal anything. We correct subluxations allowing your  innate

doctor  within it's greatest capability to heal your body  safely and naturally without dangerous drugs or surgery.

Is  the doctor in? The "doctor" is always "in" you. The  question is whether this internal doctor is free of interference  allowing full genetic expression to regulate health and healing  capabili- ties manifesting a high quality of life.
