Who determines whether your body is doing what it should be doing (healthy), or if it is out of control (sick)?
By out of control, who or what is in control of our body and it’s functions?
As a Chiropractor, we refer to the “in control who or what” as Innate Intelligence. Innate Intelligence, or II for short, is that “thing” inside all of us that calls the shots. With all my education, I have no idea how to turn a Twinkie into energy, and I can not regulate my own blood pressure for the proper activities. So, if it were up to my “educated mind” to keep me alive and healthy….I would fail.
Therefore, how do I know when I am really healthy or sick? Fevers are used to kill harmful invaders in my body…a natural immune response. Vomiting is a way to get “bad stuff” out of my body, as does diarrhea.
Instead of second guessing our II, try supporting it with things that we KNOW that are good and healthy. Let’s not jump the gun on whether we THINK we need to lower that fever, or take a pill to induce a response from our body. Until man is smarter than II, there is no reason to second guess it….support it!
So, maybe I made it a little too simple last post. That can happen, right? One can make things really too simple.
Definition of simplicity: Freedom from complexity.
Wow, that sounds nice! What in your life is really too complicated right now? Is it contributing TO your life as you want it, as you dreamed it would be?
Let’s make the choice to simplify the complex. If it is real, if it is important, and if it makes life better, it will be simple.
Sometimes we try to make things harder than they actually are. Why is it really necessary to know exactly how your nerve system works, in order to know that it should be interference free?
Usually the questions that we have about advice from a licensed professional are really not about the questions at all.
My guess is that the advice you hear may not be “easy”. However, we must remind ourselves that if we would like to keep the results that we are presently experiencing from the health advice we have taken until now, then no work at all is required.
There are many times that I am asked the following question, “When is it time to seek medical intervention?” Some will tell you that everyone draws the line at a different place. I guess you can look at it this way, however I see no reason anyone needs to draw the line any differently than anyone else…let me explain:
I ask myself the following questions, and based on the response determine if it is time to switch gears in healthcare for the patient, myself, my friends, or my family. That is important, because to me it does not matter who it is, I act no differently for my family with regards to health, as I do my patients.
1-Is this person in distress?
2-Is this distress affecting basic survival mechanisms to not occur (to the point where life seems to be quite delicate), such as breathing, eating, or elimination? If yes, then time for medical intervention until able to heal naturally.
3-Is the nerve system (the master control system) of this individual working properly? If no, then adjust it.
4-If they are eating and drinking, is it, and has it been, proper? If no, then change it.
5-Is there an external stress that needs to be addressed for this individual to move forward? If so, then get rid of it.
In all situations of health disturbance, there is the tendency for someone to over react. This is common, and it is usually based on emotions. You have to take emotions out of the questions, and out of the situation in order to get the proper steps accomplished for the betterment of health.
For example, I know your mother died of cancer, and I realize you have a lump on your kidney. However, the kidney is working properly, due to the tests that you performed, and the lump came back as non cancerous….so lets not take your organs out please!
Everyday, women are having their breasts removed because their parents had breast cancer. The organs are there for a purpose. Remove the emotions, go through the questions, and restore the proper order to health.
