3. THE INTELLIGENCE

This is the corner stone of all Chiropractic. The intelligence within each and every person is what the Chiropractor takes his hat off to.

You may be familiar with the terms the unconscious mind and the unconscious mind being supplied to mans education - one is where we go to school to absorb book education and use our judgement for our benefit from day to day but the other, the subconscious mind or the unconscious mind is that part of our brain that runs, co-ordinates and controls all of our functions night and day, awake or asleep, twenty-four hours, seven days a week, and every year of our life. Chiropractors call this intelligence within you, INNATE or INBORN intelligence - really it is just a term to describe nature working within the human body.

A new born baby, one hour old, seemingly has no educated intelligence to call upon, but the internal working of it’s body will take its mothers milk and turn that into nourishment, to build living human tissue. It also turns any waste products into dirty nappies, but that is an example of the inner control and workings of this inborn or innate Intelligence. This same innate control is what mends broken bones or cures the common cold in all people of our age, or younger or older. It is constantly working to keep us healthy and well and a part of the world we live in.

Hard work with a shovel in the garden will wear down the dead wood handle of the shovel, but it will build up calluses on our hands for protection. This is adaptation to our environment; the principle job of our resident controlling intelligence within all living things.

Can you see why chiropractors say that this governing intelligence, when it is permitted to work correctly, knows more in one second on how to run our bodies successfully that all the collective book-education of the scientists, medical doctors and chiropractors put together will ever know.

All the scientists etc in the world can’t make one cell from scratch, let alone make it survive, but this fantastic wisdom resident within every female body make between twelve-fifteen trillion cells in a short period of nine months, makes some tissues that can see, some that pump blood, some that are bone or spleen, or liver, or kidneys or toenails or hair, or teeth and has these organs and systems put in the right place, at the right time, in the right way, the first time.

It is only when mans educated egotistical intelligence intervenes trying to run the body his way, do problems eventuate. (e.g. Thalidomide deformities cause by drug intervention.)

This inborn wisdom is in every part of your body but it is co-ordinated and controlled by a part of our physical brain and that part is called the subconscious or unconscious mind. I like to call it the SUPER conscious mind because of the complexity of its job and if we just remove the interference between that location in the brain and the cells and tissues in the body, our whole system must function better in all aspects.

That’s what a chiropractor tries to do to the best of his ability - remove the subluxations in the spinal framework that cause direct or indirect pressure upon delicate nerve tissue that link the two; the brain and the tissue cells.

Once correct body function is established, you start a pathway back to better health.

Give credit to this intelligence within you, for it is that and only that, which enables you to become well.
