Have you ever considered as to why our healthcare system in the United States has so many problems? Have you ever wondered why with all the amazing technology we have, and all the breakthrough discoveries you keep hearing about every night on the news, we are still a nation of chronic illness, pain and disease? Have you ever wondered why you keep suffering with aches, pains, and various illnesses? Have you ever wondered why doctors never seem to help? Well the real answer may just shock you.
But first, a minute piece of history so you appreciate where all this is coming from. This all began way back in the seventeenth Century with a physicist, physiologist and mathematician by the name of Rene Descartes. He’s the man that said “I Think, Therefore I Am.” Descartes revolutionized “modern” thinking with his hypothesis of dualism. In a nutshell, dualism says that the mind and body are completely disconnected. Descartes came up with his theory while meditating one morning. Then he actually made an accord with the Roman Catholic Church that he, as a man of science, would limit himself to the study of the physical body, while religion would deal with the “mind.” From that time on, study of mind and body have for the most part, remained two separate fields. Scientists stayed within the realm of what they could see and calculate. Meanwhile, those in the religious life lifted thought, motive, and feeling out of the body, into the realms of the spiritual. The first trouble with this separation is that medicine used science as it’s only measuring stick. Procedures are only used if they exceed strict scientific testing. This means the events must be able to be seen and measured. If they can’t be seen and calculated and established through scientific experiment, they do not exist and will not be used in medicine.
What about this instance? If you place your hand in a pail of water, what happens to the water? It goes up. It rises by the precise amount your hand takes up or displaces in the container. You know it happened because you can calculate the level of the water. This happens each time, so it is called a rule. It is called the law of displacement. Now, what happens if I put my hand in the ocean? Well, we know that your hand moves the water. It has to because it’s a rule. The difficulty is in proving it. After all, you can’t calculate it. You can’t see the consequences. So did the ocean actually go up? Yes it did. It rose in a beyond measure amount. At least immeasurable with the tools we have today.
So what’s the point? The point is that by throwing out the mind-body connection simply because it could not be scientifically measured, medicine has ignored one of the most powerful healing forces known to man!
How is it known that the mind-body connection is such an important healing force? In regards to a discovery in 1981, the Neurobiologist David Felton at the University of Indiana discovered that the immune system is actually hard-wired to the brain through the nerve system. Why is this so important? According to history, in 1974, Ader, an experimental psychologist made what most consider being one of the most important discoveries of mind-body research. In the course of investigating conditioned response such as Pavlov’s drooling-dog-and-bell theory, he was testing to see how long such a trained response might last in some laboratory rats. He used a combination of saccharine-laced water and the nausea-inducing drug Cytoxan. He trained the rodents to associate the sweet stuff with a bad stomach ache. Afterwards, while giving them saccharine-water without the associated Cytoxan, Ader observed to see how long it might take them to forget the association between the two substances. Unexpectedly, during the second month of removal, the rats began to fall prey to disease and die off even though there was no Cytoxan. In investigating this unexpected result, Ader checked into the properties of the nausea-inducing drug he had used and found that one of its side effects was as an immune suppressant to the body. The rats had been conditioned to not only to associate sweet water with nausea, but also with an immune shutdown that caused them to become ill. The conclusion was very obvious. Their minds were controlling their body and immune systems! This was very amazing. The rats actually killed themselves just by thinking it even though they no longer had the poison. So the question is what are you thinking your immune system and body into doing? Are you thinking yourself healthy or are you thinking yourself sick? Here’s an even more important thing to consider. Since your nerves serve as the communication lines between your brain and your immune system, you have to make sure those lines are open so your brain can keep you healthy.
The bottom line is if you have misaligned or malfunctioning spinal bones, your brain cannot communicate properly with your body. And as you now know, this relates to the immune system. Having these spinal misalignments, also known as subluxations may not only cause pain, but also weaken your immune system and lead to sickness and possibly disease. The only way to keep your spine free from these subluxations and unnecessary pain and disease is by routinely getting your spine checked by your chiropractor just like you routinely brush your teeth and go to the dentist.
