Your Nervous System

The incredible complexity of the nervous system is beyond understanding. Without interference, it works efficiently every sleeping and waking moment to bring together and integrate the many body processes, to regulate the reactions and adjustments of the human body to its environment, and to form conscious thought.

Because of the many and constant demands made upon it at all times, it is imperative that this marvelous system function at is peak efficiency, if the body is to respond to the demands of its environment with good health.

The brain and spinal cord is the commander of all organs and systems in the body. It is housed in the skull and spinal column and contains 12-15 million nerve cells. The brain is the most active organ in the body using 45% of the oxygen we breathe and 75% of the energy produced from the carbohydrates we eat, even if it is only less than 5% of total body weight. It must constantly monitor incoming nerve messages from all parts of the body which tell it about the demands of all organs and tissues to maintain good health.

Then it transmits the responses necessary to meet them.

The brain is diagnosing the state of the body every milli-second 24 hours a day. Not only does it establishes the proper diagnosis but, also orders the perfect response. In order to work properly, there must be no interference in receiving and sending signals. The message must flow both ways loud and clear.

The Chiropractor is the best qualified person to see that the central nervous system is free from impediments so that it may continue to do the amazing job it was designed for.

When nerve channels of communication are kept open, the brain will receive and send the right signals. The chemicals needed for life and health are made by the body and directed by the brain very exactly to the areas of need.

For the sick individual, Chiropractic is a means of health restoration by opening nerve channels so the body may heal itself. For the healthy, it is a periodic check up to insure early correction of potential nerve interference.

Sacro-Occipital technic (S.O.T.) is a new and advanced concept of Chiropractic pioneered and developed through the study, research and clinical application of Dr. M.B. DeJarnette. For more than half a century Dr. DeJarnette researched and studied every aspect of physiology and anatomy and clinically found that human structural distortion falls into three basic groups. He labeled these groups as Categories I, II, and III.

Category I is an imbalance in the muscles rather that the ligaments, still causing a disturbance in the alignment of the vertebral column leading to ill health because of the interference caused in normal signal transmission within the nervous system.

Category II The pelvis is composed of a triangular-shaped bone called the sacrum. The sacrum is surrounded by two hip bones (Iliac). The pelvis is held together by tough band- like tissues that hold bone to bone these are called ligaments. It is the basic foundation of the spine and supports the weight of the body. As strong as the ligaments are, they are still vulnerable to stretching and tearing by falls, whiplash, athletic and occupational injuries, and everyday gravitational forces that influence the body. When ligaments tear or stretch, it permits a separation of the bones in the pelvis. When this happens, a counter-rotation is set in motion which allows one hip bone to move forward, and the other to move backward; one leg becomes shorter, the other lengthens. As a result, of this long and short leg situation, a falling-domino effect is initiated. The sacrum tilts on one side; the spine becomes unbalanced; the vertebrae of the spine shift out of position; and nerves are trapped up and down the spinal column. This results in mild to very severe discomfort. Nothing can so disturb a person's total health picture as can this Category II situation.

Category III is the state in which a person has herniated a disc because they left Category II untreated and then traumatized an already out of balance vertebral column.

Homeopathy

Homeopathy is a system of medicine whose principles are even older than Hippocrates. It seeks to cure in accordance with natural laws of healing and uses medicines made from natural substances: animal, vegetable, and mineral.

Homeopathy was discovered in the early 1800 by a German physician, Samuel Hahnemann. Shortly after setting up practice, he became disillusioned with medicine. Medicine in those days believed that sickness was caused by humors, or fluids, that had to be expelled from the body by every possible means. The practices of cauterizing, blistering, purging, and bleeding were common in those days.

While translating lectures on medical practices, Hahnemann stumbled on the key to curing sick people. In the one of the documents he was translating they recommended cinchona bark (quinine) for curing malaria. He began taking the herb twice a day and began developing the symptoms of malaria. This was the first "proving" a testing of medicine on a healthy person. He reasoned that malaria was cured by quinine because the drug produces the symptoms of malaria in a healthy person.

The term homeopathy comes from the Greek homoios- similar and pathos- sickness. The fundamental law upon which homeopathy is based in the "law of similars", or "Like is cured by like". The law of similars states that a remedy can cure a disease if it produces in a healthy person, symptoms similar to those of the disease.

The law works thus in practice: A person develops a fever, with flushed face, dilated pupils, rapid heartbeat, and feeling of restlessness. The homeopathic physician studies all these symptoms, searches for the remedy that, under scientifically controlled conditions, has produced all these symptoms in a healthy person. Within a short time after taking the remedy, the fever drops to normal and the person feels well. The law of similars enables the physician to select the one medicine that is needed by matching the symptoms of the individual to the symptoms the remedy induces.
