The most common way to lose health is due to a direct loss of function of an organ or tissue. Functional
ailments include asthma, ulcers, back pain, arthritis, high blood pressure, sinus infections, allergies, skin
conditions, carpel tunnel symdrome, headaches, diabetes, cancer etc. These conditions are all due to a
particular organ or organs not functioning properly. If your body does not function normally and the cells
become sick, toxic or die, your resistance goes down. Just like leaving rubbish lying around for the rats to
invade, this invites infections like colds, flu, bronchitis, pneumonia, etc to take hold in the body. Chiro-
practic allows the body to get back to its highest state of resistance so that it can better repel or fight in-
fection without the dangerous side effects of antibiotics (which is like putting out a whole lot of rat poison
and not cleaning up the rubbish heap that caused the problem in the fist place!) By removing subluxa-
tions from the spine which interfere with proper nerve function, the power that made your body is then
able to do its job and continue to heal your body properly. Understand that bugs, pollen, bacteria, and
even cancerous cells are ALWAYS present in your body. It is when the nervous system is not able to prop-
erly function that these become an overwhelming problem.
