What Is Chiropractic Anyway?

And although we suppose that God united a body to a soul so closely that it was impossible to form a more intimate union, and thus made a composite whole, the two substances would remain really distinct, notwithstanding this union' (Principles of Philosophy, part one, §60, I, 213).

This said by the French philosopher, Descartes, in the 17th century, who had to make a deal with the devil by telling the Pope he would promise to leave the Soul as property of the Church in order for him to perform human dissections. Thus separating mind and body into two distinct entities. The body being a biomechanical machine to do with what he chose. Whether he truely believed this or not is hard to say since this was the same guy who said, I think, I am.

It's been over 80 years since quantum theories emerged, yet I'm still hard-pressed to find the majority of health care practitioners embracing the fact that we - and pretty much the entire universe - are just one big mass of energy. And not a set of cogwheels fixed only by parts added to, or subtracted from the machine in true Newtonian (pre-Einstein) fashion. Mind and body are inseparable. Each system is inseparable. Would it be entirely mad to think that a thought comprises the same stuff you're built of?

The cells of your body respond to energetic frequencies one hundred times more readily than they do to mechanical stimuli. What does that mean? It means a molecule, consisting of one or more elements, can change the way a cell responds to its environment by engaging with it in a lock-and-key modal. Yet on the same cell, there are also little antennae which do exactly the same thing by vibrating. The vibration comes about by responding to a frequency. An energetic frequency. A thought perhaps? One hundred times more readily.

Consider the infinite number of frequencies your mindbody interacts with every second, of every day.

It all made perfect sense to me the day I was told that my skin developed from the exact same tissue that my nervous system did in utero. I wear my nervous system on the outside. Ingenious, really. My nervous system is in direct contact with every signal in my environment. And not only that, every little antenna is going nuts in response to all these frequencies. Flooding my central nervous system with a barrage of information. The overload has to be halted. I can't cope. I defend. My posture changes. I have head pain. I have chest pain. I have back pain. I go to the chiropractor. Fix my back, I say. What's wrong with your back? I have a bad back. Really?

There's nothing wrong with your back. You think, therefore you are.
