If you are very hungry and you eat some food, will your hunger go away? The answer is yes, if you eat enough. If you eat food regularly, will it keep you from becoming hungry again? The answer is yes, if you eat enough of it consistently. But is preventing hunger the purpose of food?
Even though eating food is a very effective strategy for decreasing or even eliminating hunger temporarily, hunger will always return over time. This is the nature of life. As your body uses up the nutrients contained in the food, it requires more to continue operating at peak efficiency. And so, hunger returns again. Even though eating food consistently can be a good way to keep from getting too hungry, it is ridiculous to believe the purpose of food is to eliminate or prevent hunger.
Certainly we are all aware that food serves many more important functions than simply relieving hunger. It is our fuel for keeping us alive, providing much needed nutrients to allow our bodies to heal, function, adapt to the environment, and continue growing throughout our lives. But hunger is merely the physical sensation that tells us our bodies need to be refueled. Just like the sensation of hunger, pain is often the first sign people notice indicating they may have a problem that can be addressed through chiropractic care. And yet, just like believing that food exists merely to relieve hunger, many people apply the same limited line of thinking to pain and chiropractic care.
These people do not fully understand that the purpose of chiropractic care is to maintain the flow of communication freely over the nerve systems between their brain and all of their trillions of cells, so that the natural energy of life within the body can actually perform all of the functions listed above - animating, coordinating, adapting, healing and growing our bodies from conception until death. They do not understand that without totally unobstructed neurological connection, nothing would function as well as intended.
Maybe it's because chiropractic care in the right amount is so good at decreasing or even eliminating pain and dis-EASE. Or perhaps it is because with consistent enough care many people can even prevent the recurrence of their health problems. Although chiropractic care is a very effective strategy for helping regain a natural state of health, your level of health and vitality will always vary over time due to the physical, chemical and mental stresses of every day life. If these stresses exceed your "internal resistance," they break you down and you progressively lose your health and well-being. Health (normal function and the ability to adapt to stress) is a result of the free flow and adequate expression of your natural vitality.
When your brain and body are fully connected through a well-aligned spine and fully functioning nervous system, they communicate effectively and your body properly comprehends and responds to any changes (stress) in your daily environment. The result is an ability to adapt to these changes with effortless ease. In addition, you are able to heal and continually grow in every way - physically, mentally and emotionally - and are thinking at a high enough level to make good choices in every area of your life.
The truth is everyone is growing and dying at the same time, but one of these two processes always dominates the other everyday. In other words, everyday we are either becoming weaker and moving toward disease and death, or we are growing stronger and moving toward health, wellness and wholeness. The chiropractic approach to life and the adjustment process allows us the opportunity to progressively grow stronger rather than weaker, everyday.
So you see, believing the purpose of chiropractic care is to eliminate or prevent pain and illness is as short-sighted as believing the purpose of food is to eliminate or prevent hunger! The real purpose of lifelong, family chiropractic care is to continually maximize the flow and expression of your natural, God-given health and to help you consistently and progressively possess the highest levels of health, happiness and the fullest expression of life! Simply put, Chiropractic is about life and what makes people live.
