7 THE ONE GREAT THING ABOUT CHIROPRACTIC IS IT IS BASED UPON COMMON SENSE.

It’s two o’clock in the morning and you cannot sleep. You are on an ocean-going liner and decided to take a stroll around the decks of the ship all alone. Suddenly you realise the ship is in danger and that slowly but surely, it is sinking from the front down. Your first thoughts are for all your sleeping fellow passengerson the lower decks. You race down stairs and run wildly from door to door, waking the passengers, warning them of their peril. "Get out! Get out! The ship is sinking!"  A big surly 6'4" unshaven man, irritated at being woken from his sleep, says unless you prove it to him he’s going straight back to sleep and doesn’t want to be bothered again.

What would you do? Have you got the time to take each passenger six flights up to the deck and show him for himself that what you say is true, or do you have to go on from that fellow to the next door, knowing that you have so many others to wake, to give them the chance to save themselves?

What do you do? It’s hard isn’t it? Remember what I said in one of the previous tracts, it’s only when patients get well under chiropractic care that then they are ready to believe what the chiropractor is saying.

In this day and age, probably the same in generations gone by, we have those types of people who need absolutely everything proven to them, in black and white, and in triplicate, endorsed by the highest powers of the day, before they can finally consider it effective within their life, where as there are others who perhaps tend to put some emphasis, whether they know it or not, on that inner sixth sense feeling that comes on occasions and tells them things are right.

The simplest, most easily understood message that comes from understanding chiropractic, that no reasonable person can refute, and which is the corner-stone of all chiropractic is that-THIS human body of ours MUST function BETTER, with a GOOD nerve supply rather than one that is pinched off and irritated by the individual spinal bones. A nerve system that is free from any interference in whatever form must be better than one that is subjected to some sort of interference.

This is what annoys all the so called scientists of the day; the simplicity of chiropractic because in this day of seemingly booming technology, things are supposed to be of a complicated , only known to a selective few, nature and something as simple and straightforward as this unchanged chiropractic principle falls quickly on deaf ears within the majority of scientific circles.

For years patient have been telling chiropractors that wouldn’t it be great if the medical doctors and you the chiropractors could work together, but you see why this can never happen. The difference between them is so great. One part wants to treat a particular symptom with drugs, chemicals, herbs, prayer, concept therapy or what have you, and in emergency cases, do save lives, whereas the chiropractor accepts that this human body of ours knows more in one second on how to run this body successfully, makes every chemical and drug we will ever need in the right way, in the right amount, and in the right place, at the right time, all by itself, if the interference is taken out of the way. It has done it up till now, and whether we want to think any different, will continue to do so into the future.

Sure, educated man can influence how the body runs, by dosing it up with strong chemicals, just like someone else could by shooting a bullet through their head, but WHAT we are talking about here is WHERE THE RESPONSIBILITY LIES, IN GETTING YOU WELL AND KEEPING YOU WELL.

If the chiropractor can make sure there is no interference to the passage of impulses over the nerve system that connects the brain with every cell in the body, allowing this body to work in harmony with itself and the environment about it, then it WILL function better, better than a finely tuned engine, and you MUST stand a better chance of living longer, living healthier, and living happier than you ever have done in the past.

To me this is purely common sense and is the easiest thing to understand.

Chiropractic is based on common sense and nothing in the world is going to change those who don’t want to see it, or refuse to see it, and I’m going to say you’re not amongst those.

Stay well under chiropractic care and lets get the next generation functioning better to be able to cope with the changes that happen about us.

Chiropractic is a terrific thing.
Always has been-Always will be.
