Promoters Of Health---Not Fighters Of Disease 

Humans have been studying humans, dead and alive, sick and well, looking for the "cause of disease" in an organized manner for more than five thousand years. This mass of alive and dead education has been systematized, card-indexed, and cross-filed into libraries of millions of books. It has been spewed through colleges into millions of brains through hundreds of thousands of professors.
As a result of this "fight" against disease, hundreds of universities, research centers and hospitals have been built.  
Americans attempting to conquer disease spend more money each year than for any other reason. 
After all this time, research, building, treating and expense, we have more illness and disease than ever. Something surely must be wrong with this approach to health care.  
As chiropractors, we feel it is much better to turn this around and study the "cause of health" rather than fight disease.  
To the chiropractor, disease is simply the absence of ease, just as disorder is the absence of order. What is commonly called "disease" is a misnomer to the chiropractor.  Disease is not an entity, not a thing. Rather disease is the absence of a thing. Just as darkness is the absence of light, disease is the absence of life-the life force of the body. If there is darkness, it is simply because the light has been blocked out. You do not have to fight a war against the darkness - you do not have to "cure" it. All that is necessary is for you to remove the blockage and let the light in.
As the light returns, the darkness disappears. So it is with man - remove the interference and the darkness and dis- ease disappear as a natural consequence. 
We know that health is not a commodity that can be bought in a bottle, a pill, a box or a shot. It is not anything that we can give you or sell you, but comes only from a body that functions normally and adapts to the environment in which it lives. It is a balance between the internal resistances of the body with the external environment. 

We are saying that health is a normal state of being and should be the birth right of all people if they will only observe the natural laws of life and health listed below.   

The Natural Laws of Life and Health

• The Law Of Normal Nerve Function

As chiropractors, we cannot over emphasize the importance of this first law. Every part  of the body must receive a normal nerve supply to be healthy.  

• The Law Of Proper Nutrition And Sanitation

You cannot operate an automobile on 90 percent water and 10 percent gasoline. Neither can you expect maximum efficiency from the human body while living on devitalized and toxic food - stuffs. You must have fresh water to drink and pure air to breathe. You must eliminate accumulated waste substances from the body regularly, as well as maintain reasonable habits of cleanliness.
 

• The Law Of Sensible Movement And Exercise

Movement is life ... stillness is death. Tone is the basis of health. You must exercise a sensible amount each day in order to function at peak efficiency.

• The Law Of Rest And Recuperation

You must balance daily activities with a time for necessary rest and recuperation. In this way nature is able to revitalize you for further activity and accomplishment.

• The Law Of Positive Mental Attitude

Ralph Waldo Emerson once said, "A man is what he thinks about all day long".  It has been said, "As a man thinks in his heart, so is he".  Thinking negatively very often does make it so and we most certainly reap what we sow.

 The Chiropractors Real Job           

The chiropractor's job is not to heal, treat or cure anyone or anything - - That is nature's job. The chiropractor's purpose is to remove interference for the free and full expression of life force that animates the living body. The chiropractor does not adjust people to make them feel good. He adjusts them to relieve nerve interference so that nature can make them feel good.
